Sorry, I haven't read the original

Really, I haven't read the original book. I've never been interested in this type of novel, so I don't read it. But it's okay to watch the movie. In general, it was a hit. I don’t know if it’s because of my values ​​or the criteria for judging good and evil, or because the original novel was written too early, and the moral standards at that time were completely different from now. Anyway, I am very unfair to someone.
Come see the male lead, yes, he was framed and put in jail, he deserves to be hated, he deserves revenge. But on the other hand, if he hadn't had a fortune in prison, would he be where he is today? Unless you won the lottery, but there was no lottery in those days. That is to say, although he lost his freedom for a period of time, he gained a beautiful wife who loved him deeply, a child of a well-educated man, and a wealth that was incomparable to a country. How could he be forgiven? But in the end, when his friend (former friend) was dying, he still said he would not forgive. How much can't you tell?
Back to the heroine. Even if she doesn't love Meng Taigu, and has been a husband and wife for so many years, it doesn't necessarily mean that he has treated her badly. She actually betrayed her husband the first time she saw the hero! Cold! Can't even the torture of conscience come? Look how ruthless she is at the last break! Truly the most poisonous woman.
Finally, look at Montague, poor man! At the beginning, for love, he betrayed his friendship. What a price! But what did he get? A child who doesn't love his wife at all, and the enemy he raised. That child, just because he is not related by blood, when his life was threatened, turned his back on the battlefield, it was very immoral! After all, he has raised him for so many years, and he does not miss the kindness of raising him!
In short, the most pitiful is him!

The Count of Monte Cristo quotes

  • Napoleon: Time you were on your way. Your captain has been dead for half an hour.

    Edmond: Are you sure?

    Napoleon: When you have walked as many battlefields as I, young Dantes, you can feel death.

  • J.F. Villefort, Chief Magistrate: Well, I must say, Dantes, you don't have the look of a traitor.

    Edmond Dantes: Traitor?

    J.F. Villefort, Chief Magistrate: Now, attend me well, Dantes, for your life may depend on it. Did you have any personal contact with Napoleon when you were on Elba?

    Edmond Dantes: Elba. Yes, I did. Well, we did. I was with the Count Mondego's son, Fernand, almost the entire time. Do you know Fernand?

    J.F. Villefort, Chief Magistrate: He's a recent acquaintance, yes.

    Edmond Dantes: Oh, there you are. He'll vouch for me.

    J.F. Villefort, Chief Magistrate: No doubt, but you said "almost the entire time."

    Edmond Dantes: Except for when Napoleon asked me to deliver a personal letter to a friend in Marseilles.

    J.F. Villefort, Chief Magistrate: Well, Dantes, it is for accepting that treasonous correspondence that you have been denounced by your own first mate, a monsieur Danglars.

    Edmond Dantes: What?
