Monte Cristo

This is a story of revenge, and the character Monte Cristo is inevitably mentioned repeatedly. In fact, many revenge stories will be mentioned. Monte Cristo seems to be synonymous with revenge.
The Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite novel. I am not a good person who is all about good. People don’t offend me, I don’t offend people. If anyone offends me, I will offend others. Therefore, I have always admired Monte Cristo.

When Mike asked Shakespeare, do you still have to turn on the light when you sleep? I felt that the shadow of childhood could not fade away like this. Until the guard defies the law, until all this memory disappears.

good job.

I remember that among the four guards, the one who was punished the least was Styler. It's just that corruption and bribery are already very magnanimous compared to the others. Maybe it's because back then, when four poor children tried to endure their tears and licked their food in fear, he stood up and said, get up.
Really, people are grateful. This is the so-called accumulating virtue.

When they were in the reformatory, the thing that moved me the most was actually Resso. When I just saw them being beaten because they won a game, my first reaction was, why do such a meaningless thing? I knew I would be beaten, I knew it. Especially what Resso himself said: I am serving my sentence peacefully here, why should I provoke them? The answer to him shocked me: because we also want them to taste the taste of being taught.
In those 90 minutes, it was like returning to the countryside, just a game. Remind yourself that people are still alive, not just a guard's plaything. This reminds me of Shawshank’s salvation, Eddie’s fight for the prisoners to drink beer on the roof. At that moment, freedom is so close. Although, they paid a painful price for participating in the competition.

But one thing I can’t understand is why the ending is arranged like this. Of course, the arrangement of happy reunion is a bit vulgar. This ending is joyful and sad. But I don't really understand...

sleepers, there will always be an outbreak day.
