What the Count of Monte Cristo gave me would last me a lifetime. First of all, I understood a truth, as long as I have goals, motivation, and time, I can do anything. This had a great impact on me at the time. At that time, I was short and didn't study well, so I felt very inferior and even didn't want to make friends. So since the protagonist can work hard to change from a penniless person to a veritable earl. Then of course I can, as well as taking revenge on those who look down on me. So since then, I no longer worry about gains and losses, complaining about others, but more eager to understand the origin of things, whether it is study or life. Then I gradually became the person I wanted to be. Although I can't say what it is yet, I can count as a dark horse who accomplished a lot of miracles in high school and college. But behind the dark horse is the hard work day and night. I still remember that many junior high school classmates didn’t even believe that I was in the top 30 in the city, and entered a university that I didn’t even dare to imagine. I also recommended graduate students with my own efforts and heart. Although it’s not worth boasting about, I got what I wanted. The biggest gain this movie gave me is this possibility, this confidence that I can be as long as I think about it, so that I no longer have low self-esteem and silently work hard to believe that success will come sooner or later.
Second, the film also taught me a moral claim that I'm a mortal, not a saint, and that I can make mistakes and don't blame myself too much for it. I can give up my benevolence when I exceed my enduring limit, because I am a mortal and not a saint. Everyone can't be perfect, but as a person, you must have your own code of conduct and moral standards. Without these bottom lines, people will become indiscriminate and go back on their word. But when it exceeds my moral bottom line, I will choose to release. I am a good person but not a saint. I don’t need to be stubborn and hypocritical to forgive everything and everyone. As a spiritual individual, his spiritual happiness is the most important. In other words, I am undoubtedly right for everyone, but it is also acceptable for everyone to be me to some extent. As a counterexample, this complements Lao Tzu's thought - Wuwei, which I learned from childhood. In a way, this movie has influenced my outlook on life, values.
In fact, this movie also gave me a desire for love, and it also cultivated my concept of love, making me insist on loving for love's sake. Although I have encountered some setbacks on the road of love, I still believe in the purity and beauty of love and as long as I pay sincerely, I can get a sincere return.
I haven't read the original, although I've seen a lot of reviews saying how much the film deviates from the original. LZ is a death star who will read books. I guess that's why it's called Monte Cristo instead of Monte Cristo. I believe that movies are a way for directors to express their understanding of life, and I also believe that people have different understandings of life. So, forgive these deviations, calm down and find a warm sunny afternoon to enjoy this gluttonous film.
