Jim Caviezel was brilliant in this movie. But Guy Pearce turned in a wicked performance that was absolutely one of the top ten greatest screen villains of all time.

"Oh he's a horrible friend!" That sir is an understatement 😁

Honestly, the detail that they don't recognize that he's Edmond I think is part of the message. Their betrayal and cruelty to him meant nothing to them. He was someone they forgot about and it didn't leave an imprint. He was an inconvenience to be gotten rid of. Mercedes is the only one who recognizes him because he meant something to her. But I do think it's realistic that she wouldn't immediately. It is 16 years later, she believes him to be dead, he was a young man before and has changed in his demeanor and appearance. But even then she said he reminded her of Edmond. Anyway back to the point; Edmond meant nothing to them, the betrayal was inconsequential to these people, so the revenge is so much sweeter when it hits them that he has come back from the dead to destroy their lives. It's something they never saw coming and he used that to his advantage

Also 20ish years old to 35ish… there’s some changes.

The story of the original author's father, Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, is badass and tragic. Thomas's mother was a Haitian slave woman, father was a French noble. The noble had three children with his slave, then sold her and the two youngest, but took the eldest (Thomas) back to France to be educated-including by one of the best French swordsman of the day. This tall, handsome dark-skinned French noble would eventually marry Marie-Louise Élisabeth Labouret, the love of his life (a commoner, daughter of an innkeeper [Thomas lived at that inn while getting educated]), and earned a reputation as a cavalry officer successfully leading men on suicide missions leading from the front (single-handedly held a bridge for a few minutes receiving multiple wounds including having a bit of his scalp hanging down). Though I think he earned his rep, then married her. However, Thomas made a rising Nepolean Bonaparte jealous, and naively called Neplean out for his bullshit during the Egyptian campaign. Napoleon kicked him out of his army, Thomas was ambushed by Napoleon's enemies (ironic) and put in prison for years. Thomas' prison stay made him terminally ill. His son Davy was only four or six when Thomas died, but Marie-Louise raised him stories about what a badass his dad was. Davy took his father's name Alexandre Dumas as his own pen name. Alexandre Dumas's (author) great-grandson won five Olympic medals for fencing, including two gold Olympic medals.

I don't know that a kid on Christmas morning could be as excited as you were during this movie. :) It was such a treat to see how much fun you had!

This is one of my all time favorite movie since I saw it in theater. I can almost recite it by heart. A few years ago, I spent 2 months in a hospital bed, not knowing if I would ever walk again. And then spent another 4 in a physical therapy hospital for a total of 6 months before I could go home. Every day, I would wake up, in pain, defeated, but I would close my eyes and almost like a prayer, i would whisper "Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine!" and I would tackle whatever pain was in store that day Almost 8 years later, I am walking (limping but walking), and I stand tall (as tall as a 5'5 woman can be). It's crazy how a movie, a book, a quote, can give you strength when there is none left. Thank you for reacting to it. I loved seeing you so passionate about a movie that is so dear to me

This is one of my favorite movies based on classic literature. It is so good they haven’t tried to retell the story on the big screen since. It’s crazy because I was a little younger than Albert in the film when I first heard that speech. My dad wasn’t around really when I needed him. Going through the phases about learning to be a man with no guide. And then I heard that speech, I was hooked ever since. When your a boy transitioning to be a man. It’s important to have good role models. The one who should’ve been there wasn’t. So aside from my Grandpa stepping up to the plate. I found my role models in movie characters like Indiana Jones, James Bond, Batman(89 film), Old Obi-wan Kenobi, and of course The Count of Monte Cristo.

"His voice makes me so happy." That, my good sir, is the late great Sir Richard Harris, the first actor to play Dumbledore before being recast with Micheal Gambon after his passing. His voice has such a warm grandfatherly presence.

So Dumbeldore taught Jesus how to throw hands, and then Jesus had a kid that became Superman.

It was even crazier in the novel. In the book, his father died of starvation bc there was nobody left to look after him. Also, his revenge plot was way crueler and more elaborate. He didn't just kill the people who betrayed him. He ruined their reputations and lives so thoroughly that even their families wanted nothing to do with them. He destroyed their lives, then isolated them, and then made them despair as he did in prison. It was horrifying and delicious.

This, is my opinion, is one of the greatest stories ever told. Every step of this movie is absolutely classic, from the beautiful directing and setting to the incredible acting and writing, but the story itself is complex and Shakespearean and grand in scope, it’s wonderful.

I read this book before I watched the movie and the movie holds up! This kind of revenge takes a lot of patience, which Edmund had and every target paid for it slowly but surely. That’s my favorite part of this movie. How Edmund strategically took everything from them before he killed them.

Lmao “I’ll take a shit on his chest” 😂 oh I laughed so hard when you said that

My parents went on a double date with another friend couple they knew and the women in the group wanted to go see this in theater. My dad and his friend both thought it was going to be a chick flick, but decided to make their wives happy and go see it anyway. My dad came home enthusiastically raving about how amazing the movie was and the day it came out on DVD, he bought it and we sat down to watch it that night. It has literally been one of the whole family's favorites ever since. I got my husband to sit down and watch it with me one night and he also thought it was going to be some period chick flick. It is now one of his favorite movies as well! Great writing, great acting, satisfying ending and I'm so happy to have watched you react to this!

The movie is very family friendly They omitted that the count had a lover much younger than him, Princess Haydee, and abandoned Mercedes. Which reminded me of the story of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra. The fact that Caesar was married did not prevent him from having an affair with the young queen of Egypt. In the film Cleopatra with Liz Taylor, it shows Mark Antony going to talk to Calpurnia, Caesar's wife who found out about Caesar's affair with Cleopatra.

The Count of Monte Cristo is such a great story and an amazing book. This movie is so good because, while no movie could do the book complete justice, the movie does fair justice. The author of The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas, was a pretty amazing person in his own right. His grandmother was an African slave in the French colony of Saint Dominque (which today is Haiti). His grandfather was a French nobleman. Dumas' father, when he was 14, left Haiti and went to France and joined the military. He rose in ranks until he eventually became a general and the highest ranking black officer in all of Europe. In addition to The Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas also wrote all The Theee Musketeers stories which were hugely popular and still popular today and other popular stories as well. Such an interesting person! To top it all off, the Monte Cristo is one of the tastiest sandwiches ever 😋 To anyone who likes The Count of Monte Cristo I always recommend the movie Sleepers. It is a much darker story but one of the most incredible revenge stories I've ever seen. And it's based on an allegedly true story. Best Regards!

Have you ever watched Cold Mountain? The film is based on the bestselling 1997 novel of the same name by Charles Frazier. The book is inspired by the odyssey by Homer. The structure of Cold Mountain is all about the return of the "W.P." Inman to Ada Monroe. The motivation for him to defect and face all obstacles. Edmond never intended to return to his former bride. Her saga was not to return to her, but to take revenge for the evil they did to him. So nothing prevented Edmond from meeting other women on his journey and starting an affair.

Also have to recommend, Leon: The Professional, though if you can I suggest going with the directors cut, Natlie Portman, in her movie debut, delivers a performance that is mind boggling, Gary Oldman, plays a brilliantly unhinged dirty DEA agent, and French actor Jean Reno, in what is an almost silent role, does a fantastic job conveying everything with looks, reactions and body language. The film is like a Masters Class of acting, with all 3, knocking it out of the park!
