%» « features March 18,1998 The Man in the Iron Mask By Alex Esmon Let's see...which Leonardo DiCaprio film do I want see today? I'm sure if I wait a week or two I'll have a couple more Leo movies to choose from. His high- school-idol looks are plastered everywhere, from magazines to billboards. You can even hear his melodious voice on the radio with a special version of Celine Dion's hit song in which both he and Kate Winslet can be heard jabbering away as the music flows in the background ( "Jack, I'm flying!"). Leonardo overload! In "The Man in the Iron Mask," DiCaprio portrays King Louis XIV at the young age of 22, although he looks more like he's 13. The year is 1660 and France is literally starving for Louis's attention. The food they have to eat is rotten and the King seems not to care. The streets are filled with angry peasants who get their kicks tossing rotten tomatoes at the King's royal guards, the Musketeers. By this time, D'Artagnan (played by Gabriel Byrne) has become head of the Royal Musketeers, having pledged complete allegiance to the King even though he regrets that decision. Aramis (played by Jeremy Irons) has devoted his life to his abounding faith and is secretly the head of the Jesuit order who oppose the wars of the King and his neglect of the people of France. Porthos (played by Gerard Depardieu) has grown a little more portly, although he still loves drinking and (all) women. Athos (played by John Malkovich) is living a quiet life on his ancestral estate, basking in the glory of his son, Raoul, a bright young man in love with a beautiful young woman named Christine (played by Judith Godreche). The trouble really starts when The King, a mean and spiteful person, sees Christine with Raoul and decides to use his Kingly weight to send Raoul to the front lines of battle before Raoul can ask Christine to marry him, thus leaving Christine open for Louis's advances. Athos is (of course) livid that his son is being sent to fight and D'Artagnan is disappointed that his King would sink to such a level just for a woman he was going to drop like a fly after a small period of time. Unfortunately, Raoul is killed in battle, according to the kingly plan, and the news sends both Athos and Christine spiraling. But don't despair... Aramis has a plan! The King has a twin living somewhere in the depths of an island prison. This twin brother is Philippe.... The Man in the Iron Mask. The plan is to switch the brothers. King Louis would go to the Bastille and his brother Philippe would reside on the throne. Of course it doesn't work out this way, and the ensuing mayhem takes up the last hour of the film. Gabriel Byrne ("Miller's Crossing," "Smilla's Sense °f _^^^^^^^^™ Snow," and "The Usual Suspects") as D'Artagnan and Gerard Depardieu (in his 102nd film) as Porthos are the highlights as far as acting performances go. Leonardo does a good job at capturing the different look each brother would have; one stern and abrasive, the other meek and friendly. Jeremy Irons (1990 Best Actor for "Reversal of Fortune") is a dryly witty foil to Porthos's buffoonery. It's fun to watch the Musketeers creaking, groaning and hobbling in their not-quite-prime, a condition they all ultimately deny. "The Man in the Iron Mask" is based (loosely) on the last portion of Alexandre Dumas's novel Ten Years Later. Director/Writer Randall Wallace uses all the same characters from the two earlier works (the Three Musketeers trilogy—yes, it was a trilogy). Don't expect this film to be a lot like the book. I'm willing to wager, though, that not too many people outside of McKee or Coulter even know that Dumas wrote a book called Ten Years Later. But now you do. Go impress someone with your newfound brilliance. All in all, "The Man in the Iron Mask" is a fun watch, especially if you're into sword fighting and you like swashbucklers. Unfortunately, the film has a couple of lulls which detract from the overall feel of the movie. I'm with Porthos: "Where's the blood, the action?" 'The Man in the Iron Mask" is showing at a number of theaters around the area. Just imagine the delight of the theater owners when they discovered that they could have two films showing simultaneously that starred Leonardo DiCaprio! Those poor Leo fans must be suffering from a serious case of indecision: Do I go see "Titanic" for the eighth time or should I take a chance and go see a new movie? "The Man in the Iron Mask" is rated PG-13 for violence, brief nudity, and mild language.
