At the beginning, there was a big difference between the character creation and the original version, and I think this difference is very bad.
First of all, let’s talk about the character Tangglaer. In the original work, Tangglaer is the accountant on the Pharaoh ship. Vice, the character has also changed from smiling and hiding a knife to being a rascal and hooligan character. And I think Tangglaer’s most brilliant scene in the original book is that he was taken into a cell by robbers towards the end and a boy chicken was charged with one hundred thousand francs. The more than five million francs he was carrying was just like that. Suddenly when he took it away.
I still remember Pepino said at the time: "You have five million five thousand francs in your pocket, sir, this is equal to fifty chicks worth one hundred thousand francs each and half a chick worth fifty thousand francs."
This is The best punishment for a person who regards money as his life is both humorous and just right.
As for "New Count of Monte Cristo", Tanglar had few chances to play, and finally died perfunctorily in a duel with the Count of Monte Cristo on the ship. Needless to say, the two are better at a glance.
Let’s talk about Mercedes. As soon as Mercedes came out, she was sitting in a carriage looking at the harbor with excitement. To be honest, at first I never thought that this woman was Mercedes. At the beginning of the original work. The description of Mercedes is the pure and beautiful fisherman’s daughter. The appearance of Mercedes is not at all reminiscent of her relationship with the fisherman, on the contrary, she is like a middle-class man. A young girl of the class, it was only mentioned in Fernan’s mouth once in the film. At that time, Mercédès had a dispute with Fernan. Fernan said contemptuously that I brought you up from the position of the fisherman. .
I won’t say much about other Melcedes, and finally pointed out that in the original, Melcedes had to wait for a year and a half before she had no choice but to marry Fernan in one month in the movie ( It feels too unfaithful...)
The character of Fernán was actually changed very speechless. In the original book, he was the son of a poor fisherman just like Melcedes.
Think about it carefully. Fernan is really funny. First, since he is the son of the earl and is not poor, (Monte Cristo ran to his home to seek his help in order to avoid the soldiers' pursuit, and the home environment is very good.) Why did he go on board with Dantes as a sailor? The position seems to be lower than Monte Cristo, because at the beginning of the film, the captain of the Pharaoh is dying and needs to be rescued. Tangglaer is the first mate and Monte Cristo is the second mate...
He has money and status. What is there to be jealous of the poor boy Monte Cristo? At that time, they were very particular about status and status. The nobles did not bother to communicate with common people. This can be seen from many literary novels at that time. It was impossible for him to become friends with Monte Cristo, who was still stunned at the time, let alone working under him.
Prosecutor Villefort didn't change much, so he didn't say much.
The highlight is the legendary Count of Monte Cristo.
The Count of Monte Cristo in the book feels like a mysterious and noble character like a vampire. (The author Alexandre Dumas also borrowed a few people to say this.) He is very knowledgeable, very tasteful, clothing and life. Habits have a strong oriental flavor.
After the Earl of Monte Cristo found the treasure in the movie, I looked forward to his first appearance.
The wide lawn of the mansion was crowded with guests and looked up at the sky.
A huge hot air balloon fell slowly in the sky full of fireworks, and four jugglers slid down from the four ropes extending from the blue of the hot air balloon before landing.
So the rich Count of Monte Cristo officially appeared.
I really want to curse, I wonder if the director has read the original work? The ostentation of Monte Cristo in the movie is big and scary, and the place where he lives is outrageous. The director wants to use the word'big' to fully reflect how rich the Count of Monte Cristo is.
As everyone knows, this just breaks the most important point of the Count of Monte Cristo-the mystery. Anyone who has read the original works knows that although the Count of Monte Cristo is rich, he does not seek bigness. Instead, he pays more attention to exquisiteness. This can be seen in the clothes he wears or the description of his residence. Monte Cristo in this movie is more like a nouveau riche. The money is nowhere to be spent and scattered everywhere.
Moreover, the Count of Monte Cristo is very rigorous in handling the relationship between master and servant, and all the servants respect and worship him rather than afraid of him. This can be clearly seen from the original book Ali, who has no tongue, to Bertuccio, the butler. In this movie, it seems a little bit irrelevant. When Jacob was alone with the Count of Monte Cristo, he was sitting or standing.
In addition, the Count of Monte Cristo did not personally kill a single person in the original book, but in the movie he mercilessly killed a few enemies in a row. This also violates the kindness of the Count of Monte Cristo in the original book. After reading a book, he has always been a kind person from the sailor Dantes to the Count of Monte Cristo, but his kindness was exposed when he was a sailor and was imprisoned. It took several years for the pastor Faria’s suggestions to figure out who betrayed him. Tostoyevsky’s “idiot” can be used (the term “idiot” of Dostoyevsky refers to the soul). A simple, kind, and almost idiot person) to locate Dantes. Fourteen years after the persecution, Dantes is still kind; but this kindness is hidden in the depths of his soul. Later, he also doubted and doubted his actions because of the indirect killing of the children of his enemy Villefort’s wife. condemn. (And that can't blame him. He did nothing but a little pretentious suggestion to Villefort's wife. It was his wife who caused the tragedy in the end.)
The enlightenment in prison of the Count of Monte Cristo My teacher, Faria, is miserable enough in the movie. I don’t even need to teach the Count of Monte Cristo knowledge, but I still need to teach him swordsmanship when he is old. I watched the sword that Monte Cristo stabbed me without hesitation when they were practicing swords. You have to sweat for this old man.
Another more important character, Director Caderousse, directly deleted him, probably because he was afraid that the time of joining his movie would be longer, and this person is not easy to kill on Monte Cristo, and he has made no major mistakes, just his character. It's a little darker. Ha ha.
Perhaps two hours are not enough to fully express the essence of this book, but we still have to say that what is bad is bad. To be honest, this "The Enemy of Monte Cristo" is originally a popular novel, it is attractive by the plot, the director can not make a movie for the sake of making a movie, and make boring revisions in order to end in two hours without thinking. .
Friends who are interested in this movie, I suggest that you still read the original, (preferably read the full translation.) You will get more fun from the book than this movie.
At least I really like the character of the Count of Monte Cristo. The charm of the Count of Monte Cristo in the movie is far from the original.
