: : MERVEILLEUSE ANGELIQUE (1964) : : This romantic historical drama movie depicts the situation in France in the Louis XIV period (around 1661) and is part of a serie of French movies based on the books of Anne and Serge Golon and was very popular in the 1960's. The spirit is also very extrovert E7-ish; like it was in rebellious Paris in 1968; a 'fast' movie with many characters, lots of loud noises and heavily gesticulating people. The protagonist is the actress Michelle Mercier; who must be a real life E2 character; very seductive and beautiful. : : Angelique planned to avenge the execution of her husband Jeoffrey (for reasons of sorcery) but is taken prisoner herself. She escapes and transforms a 'Faulty Towers'-like inn into a place frequented by important people, many amongst them volunteer to protect the lovely Angelique. King Louis XIV gives her permission (she was a marquis) to re-marry. : : : : The movie characters analyzed: : : : : THE MONK the bandits want to burn - E6 character : : Dies of fear, loyal to the king and god, tricky (traitor) : : : : ANGELIQUE - E2 femme fatale character : : Patronizing, seducing beauty, manipulator and sometimes actively dominating (making a nice contrast with the seducing placid humility she usually expresses; repressed own needs!) and strong willed. She's very fond of children. Her 'empathy' causes her to have a wide network of influential helpers. Touches others. Al her lovers die to save her; she's like a human 'Venus Fly Trap'. : : : : NICOLAS (alias CALEMBREDAINE) - E7 character : : Adventurer, 'bandit', political rebel for freedom. : : : : LE GRANDE COESRE - E8 character : : He's a kinda mafia godfather. : : : : Dark haired woman (assistent to Nicolas) - E4 character : : Weird woman, jealousy based hateful remarks, focus on dark side of reality. : : : : THE DWARF BARCAROLLE - E6 character : : Loyal to the group of bandits, obedient, true friend. : : : : Mme BARBE - E6 character : : Loyal assistent, servant of Angelique. : : : : RADAGONE - E3 character : : The egyptian competitor; sleek talker, unreliable because he wants to win the fight with Nicolas. Insensitive because of extreme goal focus. : : : : DESGREZ - mild E3 character : : Calculated ex-lawyer, career-focus, 'thinking in advance' with goal purpose. When Angelique becomes his goal he uses his street smartness and pragmatism to help her. Money/business focus. : : : : PHILIPPE DE PLESSIS - BELLIERES - extreme E3 character : : Impatient bluffer, cant stand it if he can't get what he wants immediately, 'quick'; he whips the horse Angelique is on if it doesn't want to jump (loss of image). 'Designer clothes', subtle defaming of Angelique on her way of dressing. : : : : POLICE CHIEF with moustache - nasty drunken E1 character : : Unsympathetic and cruel. His emotional repression makes relating to women difficult; when he says he doesn't understand women he means that he doesn't understand feelings/emotions. Treats Angelique like she's a 'functional' 6plastic doll. Non adaptable, impersonal, hypocritical. : : : : THE WIND - E7 character : : Lyrical poet, strong erotic imagination and political activist writer for freedom. Denial of danger (over-optimistic) based on need for sensation and over-optimistic mindset. : : : : Monsieur BOURJUS- E6 character : : Panicks easily, worrier. : : : : LOUIS XIV - E8 character : : The real life Louis XIV must have been an E8 (L'etat c'est moi) too. This agressor tries to conquer the Netherlands and other countries. : : : : King's Brother LORRAINE - E4 character : : Pedo killer, exhibitionistic dangerous freak; does strange things to get the attention he longs for but it works out against his interests. : : : : FLIPOT - E9-ish character : : Goes with the flow. : : : : MADEMOISELLE DE LANCLOIS - E7 character : : Hedonistic feast beast; mental escape in enjoyment; which requires that others go with her; (E7's can be very intolerant towards people who don't!) : : That's all.
