So in English we watched a movie called "The Man in the Iron Mask", starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and I must say it is remarkably similar to Pretty Little Liars.

'''Basically, in real life, there was a prisonner in France in the late 1600s, during the rule of King Louis XIV, who would wear an iron mask, and therefore, no one knew this man's true identity. The movie basically centers around the idea that the man in the iron mask was the secret twin brother of the French King, and was locked up to protect fighting over the throne. '''

'''in the movie, these three guys, who are sick of Louis's arrogance, selfishness, naraccism, and the fact that he bankrupted France to pay for his own palaces and wars, decide to conspire and replace Louis with his secret twin brother, named Philippe. The plan succeeds, and the two twins switch places, but the plot is exposed and Philippe is returned to the prison. However, the three guys attempt to free Philippe again, but this time, their plan is sucessful. Philippe is now posing as King Louis XIV, and the real Louis XIV now has to be stuck in prison as Philippe, wearing an iron mask. '''
