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

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!

the crazy thing abt "the literary canon is inaccessible" argument is that. it is quite literally some of the most accessible literature out there. depending on the format you prefer, famous books in the public domain are often available for free. if you're having trouble understanding a book, there are almost always discussion and literary guides that you can also find for free. if you genuinely still find old books too difficult but want to get into them, keep shopping around for authors and genres. if the topic interests you then you'll have more passion for a book and i guarantee you not all 100+y/o authors have confusing writing styles. and once you get into a groove it gets easier and easier, & more and more fun

“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

Siz kadınlar ise tam tersine vicdan azaplarıyla nadiren kıvranırsınız çünkü kararları nadiren siz alırsınız, başınıza gelen felaketler size hep dayatılmıştır, hatalarınız neredeyse her zaman başkalarının suçlarıdır.

Est-ce que vous pensez que Pierre Niney est conscient qu'il vient de devenir LA représentation du héros de cape et d'épée de toute une génération ?

So I'm sure everybody cares but I went to see "le comte of Monte Cristo " (the last adaptation with Niney) and got out of the theater with a splitting headache but absolutely amazed and admiring.

I am a big reader and read a lot of Alexandre Dumas (including Monte Cristo a long time ago) and other dramas and "sad" books but I always was reluctant to see real dramas with ambiguous or sad endings. The only reason I went to see the movie was bc I liked the book.

The movie is in fact harsh, sad and VERY dramatic (like the book) but it is extremely well realised. All of the actors play extremely well and the length to wich Niney went to prepare for the role shows trough the screen.

I was so enthralled by the movie I forgot to eat my popcorn. The movie manages to create an atmosphere like a bubble, and despite not managing to remember very well the book , I did feel IN the book, taken by the story as I had read it.

Yeah so in short, go spend 3h in a theater to watch this film, it's worth it
