louis xiv knew exactly what he was doing , culture and amusements were a tool to keep aristocrats from rebelling against him ( as they did when he was young). He was a monarch aware of his importance and wanted to give everyone the spectacle of his greatness. he understood that culture and refinement was a setting for his own reign.
Ah, like Netflix during the Pandemic.
This is how Satan works in an extremely subtle way. Do you know that Apollo, the "god" of the sun, Zeus, etc. etc., all the Greek and Roman "gods" are names of Satan? The temple of Zeus in Pergamum is even mentioned in the Apocalypse as the seat of Satan. Luis XIV was the most deceived king in French history and he destroyed France spiritually. He thought he had become some kind of god, but he became a puppet of Satan and after France killed hundreds of thousands of Protestants - worshippers of the truth and of Christ - France's fate was sealed. She languished until the mason Napoleon and the Revolution razed her. To hell with it. Louis XIV, like his beloved flatterer Lulli, died of a rotten leg - they were broken from top to bottom - just like the self-worshipping human kingdoms - Nabukadnezzar declared in the dream that the prophet Daniel interpreted.
sometimes, i realise that people are completely narrow-minded when they speak of Lully. Yes, Lully is an italian composer and spent all his career in France. That's a fact. Another fact is that stylistically, Lully was a master of french baroque style, completely in opposition with italian opera. that's all.
The shot when Louis first emerges onto the stage with the fire all around him is one of the most amazing I've seen in ages. I have to see this film. The combination of brilliant music and such an amazing realisation of 17th century France is not to be missed! Thanks so much for posting this clip.
Exactly! I had the very same thoughts & impressions when I first saw this video here - and I decided that I definitely have to watch this movie.
Also, check out some more music by Jean Baptiste Lully. ;)
And George Friedich Handel's "Sarabande" (among others) ! ~
Everything is amazing -to-tears in this movie, the acting, the coreographies, the costumes, the music, the script. It is such a joy to see true artists doing their best.

And thus the ballet was born.
A few years ago, my French professor took us to see this film. I can remember seeing the Baller de la Nuit in the theater and being truely awe-struck.
Ce ne plus un enfant, Madame. C'est un roi!
Classic!
I would say also that "Ballet de cour" later evolved to the modern romantic ballet since the ending of the 18th cent to the 19th cent.
Louis XIV created the first royal ballet and the first dance school to form professional dancers. I think the movie is brilliant on the recreation of the music, the staging and the choreography - a term that, by the way, was born in France in that era.
Many dances in the court performance were made by Pierre Beauchamp, great dancer and private teacher of the sun king. He establish the 5 positions in the classical dance and create a notation writing system for the steps.
My ballet teacher said classical ballet began with the Sun King.
J'adore l'epoque baroque.
Vive la France!
The best musical of my entire life. This is art!! 🖤
"Ce n'est plus un enfant Madame. C'est un Roi"
C'est vrai.
2:40 "La Faveur, la Renommée et la Paix viennent se joindre au chœur universel pour célébrer celui qui, de ses rayons divins, fait régner sur la Terre la Vie et la Lumièèère."
J'adore :)
"Donner la plus belle music du monde au dieu Jupiter maitre de tout l'univers" just wow
Magnificent music and film! Incredible that 27 gave thumbs down, but who knows what planet they are from. I would say, Texas style, "Y'all plumb crazy!". By the way, the US is not the only harbor of ignoramuses. They are, unfortunately, everywhere, in tutto il mondo. Louis XIV was such a great patron of the arts (unfortunately, also that of war). Lully, a genius.
never thought that baroque music can be so powerful. kudos to the cinematographer.
"C'est plus un enfant madamme - C'est un roi!" Magnifique!
I'm not really on to classic music, but this is actually really nice! It's just full of power and just.. beautiful!
For anyone who wanna see the movie, it's on CZcams in 14 parts.
Oh King Louis XlV, you are eternal.
Je suis amoureux de cette époque... Notre histoire est magnifique, vive la france !
yes. 4000 rich. the King Court...and 20milion in misery.....REVOLUTION SEEDS
.
These dances have so much beauty and power.
The dances are very powerful. The nuance is incredible.
I ❤ that Louis did Ballet!!! My future son will be doing so as well lol! The best king ever!
Every detail had symbolic significance, including the octagonal stage.
One of the best re-creations of the court of Louis XIV of the late 17th century. These guys were as wild as any hip-pop band currently performing.
Louis XIV was not guillotined. His great-great-grand son Louis XVI was. Louis XIV was a very strong man. He hunted a lot, had an enormous appetite for wars and women. He was also extremely healthy (by 17th century standards). He died stupidely of gangrene, refusing treatment. He was 76 years old. His reign lasted over 72 years, the longest ever recorded. He remains the most powerful and influential monarch ever to inhabit this planet. The guillotine was invented long after he died.
Louis was the supreme One! The Sun of Civilization! The Glory Of Holy France!! Bring him back!!!
Vive Henri Quatre!
acerb45666555 yes he is coming back to reign as one of the kings of the earth in the millennium kingdom of Jesus Christ👏👏
Bring Hollande back!
Yes, and bring back Nero while you are at it. Are you daff? Le Roi Soleil was a dangerous and bellicose, narcissistic AUTOCRAT and DESPOT who drained the French treasury with his many abortive adventures abroad and intrigues within.
Magimel en Apollon éteincelant de soleil, c'était quelque chose... Magimel as a radiant Apollo was so handsome...
See kids? High heels, tights, poofy sleeves, and almost excessive amounts of lace and eye liner can be incredibly manly.
se uno è LE ROI
Sennò fanno ridere
I'll bring it back
Je n'ai jamais vu ce film... les extraits montrés sont remarquables, j'en ai eu des frissons.
Wow! Was this the first concert with pyrotechnics? What indulgence. Lois the XIV gets my vote for the world most notorious narcissist yet known. Simply amazing.
It was all carefully calculated. Louis' throne was far from secure. Competing nobles refused to recognize his authority, while his mother and Cardinal Mazarin had no intention of lifting their regency, treating him as a figurehead and witless child. He turned the tables on all of them, appointing qualified men no matter their birth to administrate the government and military. At the right time he announced he was taking over, ruling in his own name and packing off the Cardinal and his mother. He used spectacles like these to build a cult of personality and turned Versailles into a gilded prison for the nobility, keeping them away from their estates and cutting off their power base.
@@sidneyfrederickson3941 I have never look at that way! Very interesting. You got some reading about the subject you could suggest?
@@sjorshoeijmans5442 Nancy Mitford's "The Sun King" is a good place to start.
Actually, Donald Trump is the greatest ballet dancer in the history of the world.
@@mikeFolco he and Epstein invented "The Letcher".
My professors teach like this is comedy.. I think it's epic af
Michael Olivares
Then you're smarter than your professor
Michael Olivares what? Comedy? Well, good for you to question it.
If they think this is comedic, they don't know what the point of the act was: to show to the world that Louis really was all-powerful ruler of France: if he can prance around, dressed as the sun god, then how can anyone question him on more serious affairs? then there's the symbolism: Louis is the sun--the source of light and warmth, and with them, life it self. He is also at the center of the solar system (i.e. France itself). The message is clear: Louis = life and center of France, its ordainer and sustainer of motion (i.e. what France revolves around)., and the planets = the people who depend on him to survive.
To understand Louis' various seemingly megalomaniac acts, one has to remember that he had grown up during a civil war which pitted the nobles against his authority; thus his mission as an adult was to consolidate power purely in his hands--to prevent another Fronde. To that end, every means of literary and cultural expression was controlled in Louis' France: paintings, dance, opera, music--everything Noblemen (ad foreign dignitaries) could see.
And by and large, he succeeded. He might have been a tyrannical king, but France had never been so powerful since Charlemagne.
@@Albukhshi indeed. The sun was ascendant until 1866 (end of Napoleon III's reign).
la musique baroque avec la magnificence de la cour Louis XIV!
Thank you! it is hard to find cinema this enchanting or this historical, in our nation
Grande Giambattista Lulli!
I so totally adore Louis' hair
You are the SUN
AND I, the Moon.
All that is to be done
Is for me to Laud your Glory...
As the Future turns into HISTORY.
Benoit magimel eT le roi soleil merveilleuses interprétation
I fell for Benoit Magimel in this film........I think he did a great job dancing.
Ce n'est plus un enfant, Madame ; c'est un roi.
I think the actors are great, especially Lully and the actor who plays the king.
I learned recently that the heels of the shoes at this time, fashionable as they, were not very well engineered. They broke easily and all the men had to walk on their toes. It was interesting to see the heels give way at the end of this video. Somebody had done their research.
I love this movie, but it's clear that none of the actors ever took a lesson in Baroque Dance. In any case, even 30 lessons would not help much. In the 17th and early 18th century, Royalty and upper class children took 4 or more dance lessons a week throughout their childhood and teen-age years in order to achieve the expected level of technique, grace and presence.
Baroque dance experts I have spoke to about this movie would disagree with you, whole-heartedly. Besides, the actors aren't doing most the dancing, they had doubles in for the far shots, all of whom were trained baroque dancers. The close-ups were of the actors. Not quite sure of the reasoning behind your criticisms, nor the reason you made them.
what a movie we never get that in Australia THE SUN KING DANCING WOW
L un des plus beaux films d histoire de Louis XIV
i like watching this clip...makes me wakeup. i watched about 15 times.
le roi dance . love it the louis v 1-3 ballet dancing.
LULLY MUSIC IS LIKE DEEP TECHNO TO ME SO POWERFUL !
Le Roi Danse - Fantastique!
Wonderful! Magnificent. Merveilleux! Eternal Life to the King! and Lully's music will sound forever in the Heavens!
Es increíble ver cómo un bailarín puede serlo de una forma tan apasionada y sin sacrificar su masculinidad.
Grande époque, on en est loin malheureusement......
malheureusement pour qui exactement ? :) la probabilité d'avoir une "grande" vie à l'époque ou même juste des souffrances modérées était quelques ordres de grandeur inférieure à ce qu'elle est aujourd'hui…
vis ta vie fuck le passé
BEAUTIFUL ACTING I love French movies
Lully est le meilleur.
superbe !!!
et les costumes/décors sont si beaux !!!
j'ai adoré ce film :)
très très belle symphonie je me réveillerais la nuit pour écouté une si majestueuse musique
Beau ...tout simplement beau le baroque du grand siècle celui du Roi Soleil dans toute sa splendeur
Er wäre heute bei den jungen Leuten ein MEGASTAR. Ein wunderbarer Film. He could be a megastar today. Amazing. But it was a terrible century.
A remarkable scene. One must be careful not to take the terms "Dance" too literally, at least in the sense that "Dance" means today. For the court of Louis "Danse," "Theatre," "Masque," "Ballet de Coeur," might, to some degree, be interchangeable, or, appear very similar to each other.
How extraordinary! I'd like to see the whole film
best movie ever!
Vive Benoît Magimel^^
C'est le Meilleur et le plus Beau
Louis was a real diva!
puissance, plaisir, lumière.
The movie is loosely based on historical facts, but it is *very* dramatized for a modern audience to enjoy. As for Louis XIV, he wasn't a complete ignorant. He knew what was going on in his kingdom. But in those days, it was considered normal for poor people to work hard and suffer. I must disagree with you when you compare monarchies and dictatorships. They can be totally different regimes. As far as ignoring the "little people's problems", modern democratic leaders do that very well too.
Amazing SUN!
Сияющее Солнце!
Wow. This film looks amazing, and the music is brilliant too. Thanks so much for posting this!
Thanks so much for posting these scenes from the film. They will forever change our attitudes about the performance practices associated with this music and the dance.
Here are (respectively) the titles of the three pieces: 1-Ouverture: Ballet de la Nuit; 2- Idylle sur la paix: Air pour Madame la Dauphine; 3-Entree d'Apollon (from Les Amants Magnifiques)
J'adore la voix de l'orateur
the second music is awesome.
I haven't seen all his films but I think this one was the best Benoit Magimel made........
This needs to be in HD.
Bellissimo
Viva le roi
⚜ Élégance...
THE YOUNG KING XIV. IS DANCING, DRESSED AS THE S U N.
Este filme é uma verdadeira obra de arte !!!
Vive la France!
C'est magnifique!
c'est très bon ça..!
Presentacion escenica, y cuerpo de ballet apoteosico.
Quelle musique! magnificence! :o)
I can’t find this movie anywhere, online or dvd. I wish the people who were posting clips online would post the whole thing, or at least source where they got it
Vive Le Monarchie !! Vive Le Roi !!
c'est magnifique !
C'est Louis XIV qui créa le premier Opéra à Paris qui sera aussi copié par d'autres nations. il en sera d'ailleurs l'étalon .Il etait aussi un très grand mécene des arts et des sciences.
magnifiquement!!!!
Its called "The King Is Dancing" or as they say it in french "Le Roi Danse" its by the Director Gerard Corbiau. I was just looking up the movie to rent. But there is another movie this director made that seems to be a very cool movie called "Farinelli."
Freakin awesome!!
c'est aussi le premier rapprochement qui m'est venu en tête !
j'adore le baroque!
los franceses pueden sentirse orgullosos de tener en su pasado cosas como lo que muestra el video
Jhon Connor And who can blame they =)
+Jhon Connor (wagratian) The nobility yes, very .... the people a little less.
+Alpha Centaury The nobility wouldn't have done jackshit without the blood and sweat of the common people.
Meneldhil I had not responded to you, you did not understand anything of what I have written.
The fact is that the nobles lived in luxury while the poor people starved. Understand the concept?
Alpha Centaury Like any other country on earth at the time?
Nothing like LouisXIV and his Eternal Legacy;AfterJESUSCRHIST Father and Creator of the UNIVERSE
I wasn't talking about ANY LOUIS, dude - someone else did... DAMN! :D
Thank you so much for uploading! Amazing!
Anyone knows were I can watch this film? I would really appreciate some help.
I wonder how accurate this is historically..
Me too
Historian here. Corbert illustrates here in the movie the baroqueness of the era quite well( as does he with some characters). Regarding the Sun King's dancing, Lully's music and all the theatrical antics depicted- yes, they did happen to an account, If only for the fact that Louis XIV'S earlier years as a king were unstable; he had to suppress any possible revolt so he made a fuss to keep all the plots in his face, rather than behind his back. At some point in the movie, Louis tells Lully that they are not friends, and that his music is merely a political instrument with means to further secure his throne. And you can take that as a fact. (Y)
absolutely gorgeous, thanks for the upload!
Genial! simplemente....
Ich verstehe kein wort danke Frau Mende ✔️👌🏿
Thank you! But I was hoping to see the bit of rehearsal too. I can't remember exactly which part it was from, but the music from from Lully's opera, Armide, which is my all time favorite!
