An excellent birthday toast from Jesus to Superman.

Great scene and writing. The real father unknowingly giving his son a proper toast.

That is the sweetest smile on Albert's face at the end! Basically the 19th-century equivalent of the latest rock star came to his party and told everyone, "This is the coolest guy I've ever met."

That moment when the father actually DID make it to his birthday.

Jesus casually giving Super Man a pep talk

“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 in to 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. As Albert Mondego, the Man.” for thos who couldn't catch it all =)

Edmond thought that was Fernand's son, the son of his arch enemy. Yet he still gave such a toast. Just goes to show how big a heart he has.

Mercedes' subtle "thank you" at the end was the cherry on top. Such a fantastic movie

Caviezel is such an underrated actor !

The count is such a badass. even when complementing someone

" ... What makes you a man, is what you do when that storm comes. You must look in to that storm, and shout as you did in Rome: ‘Come at me bro!’"

Awww...Look at Henry's little baby face when the Edmund first starts to speak...He needs a hug..💔

And so, it came to pass, 11 years later, that boy did become a man...the Man of Steel. Seriously. That kid is Henry Cavill.

my favorite movie of all time

What I really love about this is that Edmond has genuine sympathy for Albert and doesn’t have a ‘sins of the father’ mentality here. He sees how disappointed he is that his father(as far as he knows) is not there to give him his birthday toast so he gives a justified reason to him why he didn’t show up to give him a good birthday. He still feels rage towards Mercedes as when she silently thanks him he turns away without acknowledging it showing us that he really did it just for Albert. This shows us that beneath all the hatred, Edmond never truly lost his kindness.

Look at that. Jesus giving Geralt of Rivia life advice.

Jesus gives a speech for Superman

This is my favorite scene in the ENTIRE movie bc so much is happening and almost all of it is nonverbal acting and acted AMAZINGLY. Mercedes walks to the table clearly upset for her son but sits down and pulls herself together. Albert looks expectantly at his mother, silently asking where father is. Mercedes tries and fails to gives him a reasuring smile, but albert is crushed as he understands that his father cant be bothered to come to his birthday. Edmund looks between the two seeing that something is going on but its not until mercedes stands up that u see him understand, b4 she even speaks, and empathizes with both of them. When the count first starts u see that albert knows hes lying but is touched nonetheless. And is genuinely moved as the count finishes. Then you get mercedes quitely mouthed "thank you" that edmund humbly brushes off AND THEN THE GRAND REVEAL where he start unconsciously fiddling with his hair and mercedes KNOWS. Brilliant brilliant scene

This is my favorite movie, and such a well-written scene. Never gets old. (The book is amazing too, obviously)

Edmond is extremely proud of how Albert stood up as a man despite he was at the mercy of the role playing ruthless smugglers. Very high praised!

one of the best speeches of all time

Love this scene. It's makes it even more poignant that he doesn't know Albert is his son.

Gosh, still my favorite movie that has yet to be toppled off my #1 spot. Making/preparing a best man speech right now, and while my words aren't nearly as genius as the writers, this is inspiring.

No wonder there was so much Christ imagery in Man of Steel, Jesus litterally came to Clark's birthday party.

Later on he finds out that it was his son, not by Mondiego. What a sweet inspiring words and a toast. 💗💚💖

I worked at scout camp this past summer. At the start of each week, our camp program director would recite this speech before the whole camp. It would always bring chills, even after having heard it week after week. I couldn't resist watching the original today for my own birthday; truly a great speech!

Jim cavizel is such a brilliant actor, I hope he get more major roles after the final season of p.o.i

anyone still crazy about this movie

omg you cut of the best part of this scene when Edmond did his personal tick with his hair above behind his ear, and Mercedes saw it right away.

One of the best scenes of the movie.

"It's what you do then that makes you a man". Saw the movie on a Plane. Had just hit one Life's Big Bumps and it reminded me I had to buck up and deal with it head-on.

And thats how you do a toast ladies and gentlemen, bravo!

My gosh my daughter and I saw this together when she was an undergrad! Three degrees and 2 kids later we love him in Superman and Witcher!! Cause her husband loves the video games! Nerds rule!! What an amazing actor Henry is!!

"you lied!! your a priest!!!" I'm a priest not a saint.

I have also noticed that Jim and Henry look a bit similar...like their nose, or jaw...

BRILLIANT, SWAVE AND SOPHISTICATED.

Birthday Toast "Happy Birthday!"

do your worst...for i will do mine....

What would have made this speech even more resonant. If Father Faria had given Edmond this speech earlier in the Chateau d'if

What powerful words. If you never been in a situation like the storm, you have no idea the impact of facing the storm and over coming.

This is the best inspiration speech that I know. So well delivered. And that Albert grows up to one day become Superman, well, surely down to this one speech!

the first movie where i noticed the lovely Henry Cavill! he's just so charming & ridiculously handsome ♥♥♥

That was sweet of Edmond to cover the toast so Mercedes wouldn’t feel put on the spot.

Every scene in this movie is my favorite scene in this movie

words to live by

Such great acting, greater actor's one of my favorites!!!

:) I love this moviwe and have watch over hundreds of times :) What a toast and Speech :)

My favourite movie of all time!!!

I think this is an excellent movie version from the book.

Best toast ever.

SUPERMAAAAAAAAAAN

Greatest quote in the History of Cinema.

I could watch this over and over again 💯💪🏽👍🏽👌🏽

This scene gets me every time

The most awesome birthday toast ever...

Totally the moment I knew he would be star. Like years ago... knew it

Imagine being the gigachad who gets to play Edmond Dante

EVEN ONE AS BOORISH AS MYSELF!!!

this was my favorite part reading about how he remembers the chateau D'if birthdays.

Loved this book.

"Do your worst! For I will do mine." Thats what I'm telling my husband in divorce court. lol

There’s Jesus, super man and the Mandarin (Ironman 3) In this movie

little Superman has like four S curls here lol

And old and somewhat diabolical plan but still an effective and clever one to use against your enemy - to make their children care for you and admire you more than they do them.

Still gives me chills, damn bro

Get to know the actor that plays Albert, Henry Cavill because he is now 28 and about to become a huge star playing Clark Kent/Superman in 2013's "Man of Steel"

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 in that storm, and shout as you did in Rome: Do you worst!' For I will do mine. - Then the fates will know you as we know you. As Albert Dante the Man

Cool how both of them were considered for the roll of Superman in 2006. One went on to play Jesus. The other just had to wait his turn.

A story of betrayal and revenge, cool film!!!.

exept the last fight against Mondego. this is the best scene

Wtf! I never knew that kid was Geralt and Superman. He looks so dang young!

One of me and dad's favourite film, by Alexander du mass, the count of monte cristo.

the best quote ever

JC should've played Jor-El.

Storm's coming Annie! Better get home quick!

One of my favorite scenes in one of my favorite movies

I need to watch this film again

He does this and makes this gesture all while being gripped by the insatiable desire for revenge. We're left to wonder for the rest of the film if he does this to build stronger ties for his deception, or if he can't stand to see injustice done, even on those he means to destroy.

Aww, just three more seconds to see the curling hair!

You don't disappoint Superman like that.

This is the best ever

When that storm came, he became Superman

This speech is how Clark became superman

The one time, where quoting the video I JUST saw, would be appropriate!

Superman under deep cover

I saw this when it came out, loved it. Just rewatched it for the first time 2 decades later and was like wait is that Henry Cavill 😅 weird how you forget the young actors in movies from your childhood

You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome: “MAAARRRTTTHHHAAA!!!”

Such a crime they did changing the original book, he is NOT his father and NEVER should forgive that unfaithful Mercedes, shame on them.

One of my favorite swashbuckling movies.

powerful

El mejor actor ❤ Jim Caviezel!!!

Grande storia. Il protagonista,un cuore puro con un grande amore da vivere ,tradito da tutti ma soprattutto dall' avido amico( che tutt' altro è in realtà) invidioso della purezza e buoni sentimenti del protagonista,con l' inganno,lo fà arrestare con l' accusa di alto tradimento( galeotta fù la lettera di Napolene,mai letta - farsi ambasciatori senza conoscere il contenuto di un documento o altro,può essere usato contro) di questo film,emerge l' ingiustizia in tutte le sue forme,l' inganno,l' invidia,la meschinità ,la bassezza umana,solo per ottenere tutto,senza conquistare niente . Persino l' amore .Chi più del giovane protagonista,potrebbe essere spinto all' odio più feroce verso l' umanitá, e chi lo ha tradito? Un giovane che si trova incatenato nel sottosuolo di una prigione,privato del futuro ,libertà,ingiustamente. Ecco che,nonostante la lunga durata degli anni di prigionia(quelli,non torneranno mai più) il fato o giustizia del cielo,ci mette lo zampino. Significativa l' amicizia che s' instaurerà,tra un vero reo,l' anziano religioso colto,e un giovane innocente. Comunicazione dal muro della cella ( da brividi) unico spiraglio alla futura salvezza ed unico filo per dialogare e superare la solitudine ed il rischio d' impazzire Tener in vita qualcosa.Bello il pentimento del vecchio,che con il tempo(🤷😏) davanti,regala la conoscenza al giovane,cercando di tenere in vita ,la speranza . Può essere un buon modo di redenzione ( per un religioso) o semplicemente ,un lenire il peso sulla coscienza di un penitente,oltre il tramonto della propria vita,offrire tutto il bagaglio culturale ,la sapienza,acquisita in una vita. Gli errori fatti,daranno un senso ,almeno con questo dono .Indurre l' altro a non soccombere . Il risultato,e la prova della riuscita,si svelerà poi,nella futura libertà. La scelta ,con una mano sul cuore. Ora che il protagonista è finalmente libero,con il tesoro in mano ( svelato il nascondiglio ed offerto dall' anziano frate) un altra identità, per rientrare in società,la ricerca di un complice - amico fedele,(perchè in due o più,si lavora meglio ,aiutandosi. Buttare giù il boccone amaro,trattenere l' emozione nel rivedere il grande amore,estirpato con l' inganno( e prole) Non era ancora il momento giusto,per la verità.Come si comporterà il coraggioso e non più sfortunato protagonista? Annegherà nel desiderio di vendetta,più che comprensibile o sceglierà di rinascere??? (aiutato dall' agio unico vantaggio ) Libero arbitrio..e l' amore davanti,guiderà cuore e mente,di un nuovo uomo che,solo allora,comprenderà ,il vantaggio del non vendicarsi con tutti usando il perdono ,tramandato dall' insegnamento del reo frate.*** Ma questa storia così drammatica e coinvolgente ,piena d' imprevisti e bassezze dell' umanità,fà riflettere molto, e molte persone. È fantastica!!! 💖💖💖

good one mate!! made me laugh

The best

The Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite book, I wish they had made this into a series and had kept true to the book.

Dagmara Dominczyk is a great actress and stunningly beautiful.

Note for life....Always have a good toast in your back pocket if called upon

Monte Cristo engineered the kidnapping anyway....

We celebrate Jesus's birthday. Jesus celebrates Superman's birthday.

"This is well done."
