Many critics like to use the plot of the original book to get stuck in this adapted film. No matter how powerful the director is, they cannot completely restore and compress the plot of the big novel into a film of less than two hours, and at the same time take into account the compact plot. Although the prison part is only ten minutes, it is very brilliant. The protagonist runs and cheers after being rescued. I can feel it through the screen. The fighting scenes in the back are also remarkable. The whole movie has a smooth plot. Although there are some flaws, it is still a masterpiece.

I think that some people always like to belittle Zhang Jizhong's 03 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and infinitely uplift Huang Rihua's version. CCTV's version is well-made, the cast is luxurious, the prairie drama is all filmed in Inner Mongolia, and the group performances are all authentic Mongolian men. Shooting, can't even the scrawny group performances hold up the Mongolian herdsmen's clothes?

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?
