The film also features an impressive original score by composer Jérôme Rebottier, which brilliantly accompanies the most intense scenes. Although some of the action scenes are less than in productions such as The Three Musketeers, they remain no less spectacular, as is the opening scene at sea.

These artistic choices show a desire to prioritize narrative and emotion, thus offering a memorable cinematic experience.
