Versailles is a historical TV series focusing on the era of Louis XIV of France. Premiered in 2015 with 3 seasons and 30 episodes, directed by Simon Curtis and others, and starring George Blagden and Alexander Vlahos, it centers on the construction of the Palace of Versailles and the reign of Louis XIV, restoring the power struggles and luxurious style of the French court in the 17th century.​
The series revolves around the young Louis XIV: after taking personal rule, he is determined to break free from the restraint of nobles and promote the expansion of the Palace of Versailles from a hunting lodge to the center of power in Europe. The show not only presents the ultimate luxury of the court — from gold-embroidered costumes, exquisite court etiquette to the costly palace construction — but also depicts the undercurrents of power struggles: the conflict between Louis XIV and his brother Philippe, the rebellious conspiracies of noble groups, and the balance of diplomacy and military affairs. At the same time, the series delicately portrays the complex humanity of the characters: Louis XIV’s ambition and loneliness, Philippe’s struggle between identity and desire, and the survival wisdom of maids and ministers, breaking the “symbolic” image of historical figures.​
With film-level production to restore historical details, the real scenes of the Palace of Versailles are intertwined with exquisite settings. It not only allows the audience to intuitively feel the glory of the “Sun King” era but also conveys reflections on the fate of individuals under “absolute monarchy” through the collision of power, desire and humanity, becoming an excellent historical drama with both visual shock and narrative depth.​

Wish me luck. Remember, it belongs to me. [Music] She left at dawn. Oh dear. A disappointing wedding night. U uneventful. Good. Was worried you may have reached the early hours and decided some consummation was in order. Look at the table. Is your clothes spilled for the last month? 15 pairs of new breaches. How many times do I have to tell you? They are not clothes. They are costumes. They allow me to express my every mood and whim. They also cost a fortune. Since when does that concern you? You’re one of the richest men in France and has never bothered you before. You are the apple of my eye, but stop taking me for granted. [Music] You must learn to dance. I see. I am surplus requirements. Where are you going? Elsewhere. Did I upset your friend? She’s a little jealous of me. of anyone that breeds.

  1. I am sorry and it maybe a stupid question to ask, but are they meant to be guys or females? Did they cross dressed to be different characters?

  2. French court was wide open. Its no wonders the people of France rebelled. And chopped off tbeir heads.
    They had no concern for the peasants or average people.
    It kind of sounds like our government right now.
