The count of monte cristo

[the cac mamba]

Theres no way to say this without sounding pretentious.....but...





Read the book. Alexander dumas.




The movie is a dud compared to the book. In the book his revenge scheme is just insanely intricate.



Your doing yourself a disservice if you dont read it.

same thing with the godfather

book was incredible, actually ruined the movie for me

Trust me,read the book. Its my favorite book of all time and the movie could ever do it justice.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

I feel like I end up talking about this movie/book at least once a week

 

[Jacaveli The Don]

Ordered this book on my own volition. Got the unabridged version.

Gonna order the book now too, I remember watching 'Sleepers' and the main kid mentions it and the storyline while in a classroom and I was like

Saw the film last year and even though it had Jesus, Superman and Guy Pearce in it, I wasn't really into it.

I'm sure the book will be good though as I liked the story

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Watched it again tonight

So many scenes go so hard

 

[I AM WARHOL]

His girl was so bad too

Bane was based off Edmond Dontes

Read "the black count". Dumas based his story on the life of his father, who was the highest ranking black officer in the french army at the time only to be destroyed by Napoléon.

The movie is entertaining in its own right but its hollywood and given its such an large book its hard to fit it into a 2 hour movie.

If you want a more faithful and also in my opinion better version of it, watch the French miniseries. Its one of my favorites and I think its on netflix. Still a few things different though.

Le comte de Monte Cristo (TV Mini-Series 1998) - IMDb

The Anime is also pretty good

Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Dr. Acula]

First off which movie are you talking about? Theres a few.
Secondly, they all suck compared to the book
Lastly

This is the best Count of Monte Cristo adaption by far and I urge all fans to watch it.

Watch the French miniseries breh, trust me it beats it. They're both good though.

Wait, we are talking about the Jim Caviezal/Guy Pierce joint?! Niccas saying it's top 3?! It's an entertaining movie but niccas please slow your role. There is nothing classic or 'top 3' about this movie. It's a solid 3 star movie, there are literally thousands of these type of movies as far as quality. Top 3 are things like The Godfather, Goodfellas, Do the Right Thing, not shyt like this.

I love the movie. I fukk with Dumas hard (from the musketeers, but I've never gotten around to the count). I'm going to finish 11.22.63, these two books by Frantz Fannon and then read the count based on this thread.
