    Reading the story, I have always felt Montresor did what he could to save Fortunato by giving him opportunities to go back but it was at the end, Fortunato´s own vanity and pride, which Montresor hated, that got him killed. Even at the end when Montresor yells ''Fortunato!!'' one last time before the eerie bells sound.

    There's something uniquely sad about this story, with just how long and torturous the murder is and how completely disproportionate the "retribution," if it even is that, is. How pathetically the drunk fool clings to the hope of Amontillado, that it's all going to be okay, that he'll get his treat and see his wife again and just how... *cruel* the whole thing is.

    This has always been my favorite story by poe. It reall appeals to the fear of being buried alive along with the deepee meaning of human nature and how when composed, cold, and calculating could be more scary than a simple monster trying to reach out of the depths and kill us all. The time alone, trapped, helpless, bound, and with only a source of light till it goes out might be one of the worst ways to go.... Starving, thirsty, exposed to the elements as you could be inside that wall, the struggle of each breath as it gets harder and harder to breath. Truly terrifying

    I interpret that it is Furtonatos greed that got him killed. His facial expression over the excitement over the thought of the Amontillado. His compulsion of the quest for it as it has more value to him than anything else, more than his own life. It compulses Montresor, as he no longer see Fortunato as a human but a monster of greed. That got Fortunati to face his end.

A dreadful mixture of helplessness, sadness, and betrayal. I am way, waaaay into horror and dark things, and this film was genuinely hard to watch. I felt so helpless, no matter which character's shoes I put myself in. The victim will surely die, and the killer descends from man to monster. Well done.

    While your rendition of The Raven is my personal favourite, I couldn't help but be moved by the performances in this film. Especially Fortunato's. Montresor's take was powerful and passionate, but Fortunato inspired such humanity for his predicament. His disbelief, his tearing up, his fearful, anguished looks, his fatal hopes beyond all hopes reflected in his eyes, his desperate bargaining in a last bid for his life, and his resignation in his final moments brought his character to life - and in such a way! I didn't feel such depth of sympathy for him by reading the story alone, but I do now after watching this stellar performance. Great job keeping Poe's legacy alive; I look forward to enjoying more of your works. Cheers.

    >perceives a possibly imagined slight against his honor as an act deserving of divine punishment >Mercilessly carries out a most ingenious and torturous plan >Mocks his victim throughout Oh my god he's Literally Me. Really though, phenomenal work on this, especially Montresor: a charasmatic, dashing young man who is able to express so much through his facial expressions, especially his smile and his eyes. They tell half the story on their own (almost literally!) There are some really fun things to note about this story. Poe did such a wonderful job with duality in this piece, even if it's not regarded as a central theme. Even in the title itself: The Cask of Amontillado. A cask is a barrel of wine, but it can also be a reference to a casket, and they are one and the same for Fortunato. The trowel too: Masonry was the cause of Fortunato's rise, and masonry would be his end. He is a bumbling fool: in the story he literally wears jesters' clothing, and his comment about not being able to distinguish amontillado from sherry contradicts his view of himself as an aficionado as amontillado is, in fact sherry. In the story he also drinks a glass of De Grave in a single gulp, which is a rather expensive wine. Finally, he himself is the one who stumbles into the niche, after Montresor tells him the amontillado is inside. While many people view Montresor as thinking of himself as the boot stepping on the snake Fortunato, I cannot believe that Montresor would view himself as anything other than the snake who was stepped upon Fortunato's rise to success, and is now biting him in the heel and refusing to let go in return: no one shall provoke him with impunity. When Montresor mocks Fortunato, the actor's screams perfectly embody simultaneously how he is mocking Fortunato; and how he is screaming out his own hatred towards Fortunato; and he, the avenger, is making himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong, as they are now one and the same, feeling the same despair. Fortunato screams out "For the love of God, Montresor!" in a final plead, and Montresor screams it back: For the love of God! For the love of holy, divine, and just punishment in His name. And Montresor is his God now, and he is doing this out of love for himself. Despite all of this, Montresor actually grants one more mercy in the story, throwing in a torch before sealing Fortunato in. This could be to help asphyxiate him, or alternatively one last glimpse of the world before he is plunged into eternal darkness, the one Montresor found himself in.

    Having read this story in the 8th grade, I so wish that this movie was available to my classmates and myself. There are many things that you have captured on. I could over and over again, and never get tired. One thing that is unresolved me is that exact gesture that Fortunato makes to suggest that he is a Mason. Wish there could be something done with the name "Montressor." So well done.

    I am a Master Mason. Without going to deeply into it, there are several peculiar 'grips' one uses when shaking hands with other Masons, several peculiar footsteps one makes when completing Masonic rituals, and several peculiar hand gestures one uses depending on the level of Masonic Ritual one is currently doing. Likely Fortunato used the hand gesture or grip of an Entered Apprentice Mason, which is what Freemasons use to introduce themselves to other Masons if they do not know which rank the other person is. There are also 9 tools of operative masonry that figurative or Freemasons uses to represent moral beliefs. The trowel in the video is clearly a pun. It is both a Freemason tool to teach about morality, but it also has the hidden meaning that Montressor will be a literal Mason and brick Fortunato up.

    @@MutteringCondolences the trowel signifies death which is no deep masonic secret. Edgar Allan Poe was an anti-mason and knew the meaning Edit: I swear that I found some anti-masonic quotes by him a few years back but now Google and chatGPT tell me he had no ties to the political organization nor did he make any anti secret-society statements. I thought it was in his Wikipedia and the Wikipedia on the anti-masonic party.

    ​@@MelvinIsMerlin The trowel does not symbolize death in Freemasonry. Just as the Operative Mason uses a trowel to spread cement to bind a building together, and trowel symbolizes the shared experiences and values that bind Freemasons together. Death, especially in the 3rd degree, is a part of those experiences and values, but it is hardly the most important or one that stands out. I would argue that Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth, or the 4 major tenants of the 1st degree of Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence, and Justice.

    8:13 small note, in the original story he actually breaks the neck of the bottle, not pop the cork. Its a small thing but it is to be noted. "Here I knocked off the neck of a bottle which I drew from a long row of its fellows that lay upon the mould. 'Drink,' I said, presenting him the wine"

    The only thing wrong with this version is that they present Fortunato as having a skill he doesn't really possess in the story. However.. one could flip it in that Fortunato, boar he is presented to be in this version, most likely was going to try to cheat Montressor out of the pipe by claiming it not to be Amontillado. Still, minus that debatable "hiccup", this is superbly acted. Poe would have approved!!

    Well, Fortunato said that Luchesi could not distinguish amontillado from sherry. In fact, amontillado is a type of sherry, therefore putting his genuine "expertise" into question.

    This is perfect! I am a fan of Poe’s work. Scarier is the game The Dark Eye, which was based on Poe’s works. This was one of them. And Fortunado got what he deserved. There is a story I would love to see in a movie. I forget the name, but this man was supposed to marry his cousin with whom he did not like. The end is her teeth falling out of the box on his desk…perfect! The game version had him just walk into a room talking nonsense since he was so plastered. One by one he placed the bricks, building a wall and at the end, dropped a torch inside and placed the last brick.
