THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO (2024) + LETTERBOXD REVIEWS

[kajaono]

The most intriguing thing about The Count of Monte Cristo is that - everytime a new character appears - you look for tiny hints that this is in fact not a new character but just Dantes with a wig

La Reine Margot - Charles IX, Henri de Navarre, and Marguerite de Valois

I.III - Un roi poète

I.XXXI - La Chasse à Courre

The Count of Monte Cristo (the book) has such a funny version of the dracula problem. In the first third of the book we, the readers, get a very detailed picture of how Edmond Dantes gets his whole life ruined, becomes the Count of Monte Cristo, and concocts the most convoluted revenge plot in literature. But after that, the book switches over to the perspective of characters that did not read the first third of the book and broadly misapprehend the Count's deal and what kind of book they're in. There's even a character that straight up thinks the Count is a vampire.

“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! Then the fates will know you as we know you” ― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

All he had were: his own past, which was so short; his present - so sombre; and his future - so uncertain: nineteen years of light to contemplate, in what might be eternal darkness!
