    In the Man in the Iron Mask Hollywood uses characters from Alexandre Dumas' D'Artagnan Romances, and is very loosely portrays Louis IIV’s reign as ruthless leader. The movie attempts to explain the mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask, using a plot that depicts the man in the mask as Loius XIV’s twin brother Philippe. Much historical fiction can be found as the director loosely interprets Louis XIV’s reign. Louis XIV in real life indeed did have a brother named Philippe. He was the actual Philippe of Orléans, who is not depicted in the film. He is however depicted as the King's twin. The movie is set to take place in 1662, the film shows King Louis as a womanizer, which indeed he was and unmarried, in reality King Louis had married María Teresa of Spain in 1660. Also a section of the Palace of Versailles serves as a setting for part of the movie construction of the palace did not start until 1664. D'Artagnan's death is also historically rendered to fit the plot. The real D'Artagnan died in battle at the siege of Maastricht, more than ten years later then he died in the movie. In the movie Louis also target the Jesuits, in real life Louis was catholic and targeted Protestants.…
