[Plot] In 1616, when Flanders is under Spanish occupation, the town of Boom, in the midst of preparations for its carnival, learns that a Spanish duke with his army is on the way to spend the night there.

Fearing that this will inevitably result in rape and pillage, the mayor — supported by his town council — has the idea of pretending to be newly dead, in order to avoid receiving the soldiers. But his redoubtable wife Cornelia despises this strategem and organises the other women to prepare hospitality and to adapt their carnival entertainments for the Spaniards (who insist on entering the town anyway).

Such is the warmth of the women’s welcome that not only do the Spaniards refrain from misbehaviour, but on their departure the Duke announces a year’s remission of taxes for the town.

Cornelia allows her husband to take the credit for their good fortune, but she has in the meantime thwarted his plans for their daughter to marry the town butcher instead of the young painter Brueghel whom she loves.


[感想] 西班牙侵略荷蘭那段曆史，不是那麽懂，因為去看畫 在談到荷蘭畫派時總愛提及那段曆史， 前端時間看的那部油畫電影《磨坊和十字架》， 看完了到現在還感到鬱悶， 因為電影裏表現的西班牙侵略者太殘忍， 而且電影又是無聲的， 荷蘭人被欺壓不能反抗 隻能無聲流淚， 看著就氣，

這下好了，同樣的一段曆史， 法國人拍的有聲有色，讓人在笑聲中思考

自己也覺得好奇曾經的Flander，也覺得很奇怪當年不可一世的西班牙人為什麽會丟失搶來的世界？ 拉丁敗給盎格魯撒可遜？ 獵人更能戰能搶？
