Last night I was watching Man in the Iron Mask, and it occurred to me that I spent roughly fifteen minutes crying. Why is that might you ask?
Well:
I for one cry at any films, but what got me choked up so much, is that friends drifted apart whether by nature, adulthood, family etc. will come together when needed. To protect the one they love, adore. In this case how the musketeers stood
"One for all, and all for one"
Now the grandeur of this scene moved me so much that I felt my feelings for the King were just, his attitude was rotten, much like the food he fed his country, and his hatred for his brother sickened me.
How could one possibly hate so much that they would imprison their own flesh and blood.
Power, wealth, lust. Each sin he possessed made me realise how lucky I am to love my own brother.
How could one drive to such monstrosity is beyond me, but it is perhaps that myself is naive, and still believe in fairytales. Not that this was a fairytale but it had an ending similar; that those who live well and just, will live happily ever after.
