This was absolute kino.
>>219262465it's pretty goodpersonally i want stars my destination adaptation
>>219262465Alright imma watch it.How many adaptations of the count of montecristo are there?Hundreds?
>>219262465far from kinomeh at best
>>219262465The book will enthrall you endlessly.
>>219266043this, it's like jacking off with a dead ancestor's hand instead of your own
>>219262465Yeah I liked it
Is this better than the Guy Pierce one? Cause that's a masterpiece.
>>219262465>>219266043I've tried reading the book 3 times. The furthest I've gotten is about 2/3 of the way through. I keep getting bogged down wishing I was still reading the first act. Yeah, yeah, I know>filteredSorry. At least I actually read. Best filmed adaptation?
I tried reading the book when I was in jail and I couldnt do it. It was the unabridged version and there are so many fucking footnotes and... I forget the word but its when you have to flip to the back of the book and read 5 pages of french maritime lore to get the context of whats happening in the story.
>>219262465It's only okay. The early and middle is good but it completely fails to stick the landing, the ending is shit because they completely miss the point of Haydee. The book is MUCH better, just make sure you get either a proper unabridged translation (Robin Buss is excellent) or read it in the original language.
>>219262465I thought that was Harland Williams on the poster
>>219266511>they completely miss the point of HaydeeNo modern adaptation will ever end with the Count marrying the slave girl he bought as a child to use as an instrument of revenge.
>>219265463Only one truly matters.
>>219267365Pairing her up with fucking Albert is not an improvement.
>>219263878The world is not read for such kino. Also I always had the impression this mv was inspired by the book.https://youtu.be/gGdGFtwCNBE
>>219262465>Heads Floating in Space, rated PGWhy do all movie covers look like this?
>>219263878https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya0tmUlCs7MChink CG cartoon adaptation announced.
>>219262465I read this book less than a decade ago and I can't for the life of me remember what things happen in it for it to be so long. I assume there's a ton of side subplots, because Dantes' revenge wasn't that eventful.
>>219262465The only new release I enjoyed last yearActually it was the only one I had any desire to watch
>>219268153Country of production?
>>219268325>French language adaption of famous french novel, set in France with well known french actorsFrance if I had to guess
>>219263878Definitely not happening on account of the unpunished rape
she cute
