The 1988 version is superior to the 2002 version. The 2002 version approximates the count of Monte-Cristo of zorro, the 1988 version approximates the story od Master and Margarita by Bukgakov. You cannot compare Zorro with the Bulgakov classic. Edmond with Jim Cavizell is closer to zorro, Edmond by Viktor Avivlov is closer to Woland of Master and Margarita. The two characters are not compared. Cavizeel's revenge is mere violence like zorro, Avivlov's revenge is like Woland who unmasks society's vices and punishes them. Mercedes doesn't fight to protect a man she loves like Margarita or is devotional like dea in the Man who laughs, but Haydee is devotional like Dea. A version that transforms story as a Master and Margarita is superior to one that transforms as The mask of zorro.

Hollywood writers know absolutely nothing about human psychology and how anyone in Edmond's situation would react. Alexandre Dumas was a genius. Alexandre Soljenítsin, who won the novel d eliteratura, in a similar experience, he was cold with his first wife who married another while he was in prison and never forgave her. He married a woman 20 years younger. Hollywood writers should be less cocaine and try to get to know a person's mentality much more in order to better develop their personality after this superficial film.

The impossibility of Edmond and mercedes getting back together. “For myself I want nothing. I live, as it were, between two graves. One is that of Edmond Dantès, lost to me long, long since. He had my love! That word ill becomes my faded lip now, but it is a memory dear to my heart, and one that I would not lose for all that the world contains.

Jim Caviezel wonderful as usual, even before actung in " The Passion of The Christ" , he was here giving a mesmerizing performance as Count de Mont Cristo with all the subtlety, nuances and very hard & deep dimensions of this character as presented in the novel by Alexandre Dumas. Dagmara also captured the emotional overcome when she saw her love again with great depth and brilliance in performance. This is for me by far the best ever depiction of this epic of a novel that is considered as one of the greatest novels of world literature together with novels like " Tale of two cities " by Charkes Dickers, " Karamazov Brother, and Crime & punishment " by Fyodor Dostoevsky, " War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy etc etc etc. The ability of this movie to capture the brilliance of the main characters far surpasses all the others that tried before or after becausein this depiction the performance of Jim Caviezel and Dagmara gave the story much more of a heart , and allowed for redemption rather than just depicting the revenge.

Lets not forget, in those days, unmarried pregnant girls, had no money or income, and would end up beggin on the streets, or they had convents were they delivered the baby, never to see them again. If the father of the baby was dead, you had to get creative fast, so you and your child wouldn't starve. When she was told Edmond was dead, she had one choice, and with that provided for her baby and herself. I love the movie, and how it ends. But just as Edmond did, she did was she did to survive. The movie's don't show the complete lack of choice and freedom an unmarried girl had. And only welthy widows could experience atonomy in there life. The laws were against women.

And yeah the friend and her marrried, had sex and on paper seems like he won/got em... But not really. Because the whole time he was miserable, not feeling her genuine love, was haunted by the truth of his inferiority. Imagine being trapped in his skin? Imagine not being able to enjoy anything you have Because you're too consumed by Edmond/ and trying to take from him. A man with nothing had more than a man with much. Life is very beautiful if you are respectful towards it. It's a living nightmare if you pick wrong course.
