    I forgot when I watched it, I just remember it was pretty good. I haven't seen the other old editions, so I can't compare...

    Movies are a great way to quickly learn about famous books. The earl's robe is very cool~ Shawshank's digging tunnels is not a new trick. The popular novel of the year umm. In this adaptation, Fernando, as the son of the count (a commoner in the original book), also works as a sailor and married a fisherwoman (but it doesn't look like the dress) is a big...

    Changed beyond recognition, and then coupled with the drastic measures of ICS, if it wasn't for the voice of Mr. Richard Harris, it would be too lazy to deal with it. Are you sure that Xin Xiaochao has no other intentions for the Earl Baba, Haoji,...

    For the plot of Dantès' revenge, which is also the climax of the original book, the filming is not exciting enough. And the change is a bit big, so it seems very uncomfortable. But fortunately, the performances of the actors are very exciting. For example, Dantès's portrayal of the coexistence of two emotions in prison, the desire for survival and despair, can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people have to sympathize with his tragic experience. As Alexandre Dumas's...

    Barely pass. It is a typical American adaptation. The revenge of the Count of Monte Cristo is more punishing in the original work. Here, it is a happy revenge presented in an action scene. Technically, it is basically the technique of the second half of the 1990s. It is quite obvious, one is the set, many scenes can be seen to be synthetic, and the later rendering has a surreal effect of a Spanish movie, and the other is the way the actors read their lines, perhaps moving closer to French, with...

    Good stories, reading novels is definitely better than movies. Movies bleach novels. A good story may not have a good book. In 2020, I even read both the novel and the movie twice, but I have no impression. It is still a good story, although love and hate It's aggravating, and it's far from the original character and plot, but maybe it can only be compressed in this way. The priest's character is more three-dimensional. The first half is full of real revenge climax, but it lacks the weight and...

    Although the Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorite literary characters, this film still disappoints me, because it really tampered with the original... In my opinion, it goes against the feelings of Mr. Dumas, director Or maybe I want to take care of some audience's expectations for the ending of the drama~ And the "hatred" in the film is not very strong, and there is no strong desire and struggle felt in the book. Or maybe the director is a little merciful. However, a certain kissing...

The Count of Monte Cristo quotes

  • Abbe Faria: Define Economics.

    Edmond: Economics is a science that deals with the production, distribution, and consumption of commodities.

    Abbe Faria: Translation?

    Edmond: Dig first, money later.

  • Mercedes: What's wrong?

    Fernand: I'm bankrupt. All my debts have been called in. Also, I am to be arrested.

    Mercedes: For what?

    Fernand: Piracy, corruption, and murder.

    Mercedes: Did you do all these things?

    Fernand: Yes. But there's simply not the time to talk about it. The gendarmes are on their way, apparently, so hurry up and pack something.

    Mercedes: I'm not going with you, Fernand.

    Fernand: [Fernand turns towards her and angrily breaks a mirror]

    [Panting]

    Fernand: You are my wife. I have made arrangements for us. We shall be very well taken care of. Now go and find my son.

    [Fernand walks briskly away from Mercedes]

    Mercedes: He's not your son.

    Fernand: [Fernand stops dead in his tracks] I beg your pardon?

    Mercedes: Albert Mondego is the son of Edmond Dantes.

    [pause]

    Mercedes: Why do you think I rushed off so quickly to marry you when Edmond was taken away?

    Fernand: [staring blankly in full realization] Premature.

    [Fernand steps towards Mercedes and stares piercingly down at her]

    Fernand: Well, aren't you a piece of work? So he's the bastard son of a dead traitor?

    [Mercedes smirks]

    Fernand: He always was disappointing.
