      man's growth

      I haven't read the famous novels, just from the plot, let's talk about my own perception. Ordinary life was broken by a letter, a friend betrayed, a lover left, leaving only an upright young man in prison, suffering from whipping. How painful this is, I can't help but want to ask myself if I can survive it, and whether I am in pain like the male protagonist but don't have the courage to die. When suffering such hardships, God no longer seemed so credible, but suddenly a messenger of God...

      Another vulgar propaganda

      Every time I watch a bad movie, I feel sorry for a few hours of my life. I read the original book when I was young, and I watched this movie tonight when I was bored.
      Of course, there will be a lot of deletions and innovations in the film adaptation. The character of the male protagonist has changed, the identity of the villain has changed, the female second has disappeared, and even the ending has completely changed. I accept all of these. But I can't accept how this good Count of Monte...

      Sorry, I haven't read the original

      Really, I haven't read the original book. I've never been interested in this type of novel, so I don't read it. But it's okay to watch the movie. In general, it was a hit. I don’t know if it’s because of my values ​​or the criteria for judging good and evil, or because the original novel was written too early, and the moral standards at that time were completely different from now. Anyway, I am very unfair to someone.
      Come see the male lead, yes, he was framed and put in jail, he deserves...

      2 points of shit

      2 minutes.
          The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorites. Originally the story is grand and huge, and it is difficult to show a two-hour movie. And the director's courage to try can't get good reviews for this movie from me, and the new version is very disappointing to me.
          The first part of the movie can still be filmed, but since the escape from prison, when Don Tais started his revenge plan, the story has become more and more out of the original. Due to the limited time...

      my Count of Monte Cristo

      This is the first movie I've ever seen! When I was in junior high school, I was in a good mood on weekends, and then I had an appointment to watch the movie channel with my parents on my back. It was the Count of Monte Cristo that was playing. It can be said that this excellent movie inspired me to understand movies and to be in that confused and ignorant. The S has updated my understanding of TV and it will even affect my whole life.

      What the Count of Monte Cristo gave me would last...

      I still have a deep impression on the villain book when I was a child. It is really not easy to make such a story so boring and fake, so unfamiliar! If you see this director's film in the future, you can take a...

      Three and a half. I haven't seen the other version, so I don't know what's better than this version for the time being. Prison break is actually not the focus, but the jail break part is the highlight of the...

    Movie quotes

    • Abbe Faria: Strange that a chief magistrate would burn evidence of a treasonous conspiracy, and then imprison the only man who was aware of monsieur Clarion's connection to that conspiracy.

      Edmond: He was protecting someone.

      Abbe Faria: Ah. A dear friend, perhaps?

      Edmond: No. No. A politician like Villefort would have rid himself of such friends. Clarion could be a relative. A close relative, possibly...

      [as realization dawns on him, he overturns a table in anger]

      Edmond: No! Villefort's father was a colonel in Napoleon's army. Villefort wasn't protecting Clarion. He was protecting himself. Danglars, who falsely said he saw Napoleon give me that letter. Mondego, who told Villefort I had it. And Villefort himself, who sent me here.

      Abbe Faria: [clapping] Bravo, Edmond. Bravo.

    • Edmond: Señor Vampa, allow Jacopo to live. He's already suffered enough with the prospect of being buried alive. The men that wanted to see some sport have seen it. Those who wanted mercy for Jacopo will get it. And by keeping me and Jacopo, you will have yet another skilled sailor and fighter for your crew.

      Luigi: [considering] It's a deal.

    • Edmond: [leaving Luigi in Marseilles] Some day, I may come to find you. A man is always in need of a good friend.
