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 can only grasp the main plot. It is a qualified adaptation.

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 a slightly slower speed and slightly more pronounced pronunciation. It's vague, everyone seems to be talking love. The servant role played by Luis Guzman has the roughness of a pirate and the morality of the 19th century, and is the person with the strongest sense of age in the whole film. Dumas' story frame is really good, although the film adds a religious character to the spirit of the Count of Monte Cristo, so that the film is a bit like a gospel film, and the end of the film is also changed to a dog-blood package of illegitimate children + family reunion + woman being shot, but In this way, it can't hide the legend of the black prison, the unjust, the world's masters, the reversed fate, and the revenge. Jin Yong's lectures on Dumas' works have given him a lot of inspiration.
