The Three Musketeers was heavily criticized for the changes in story. The same thing will happen to the Count of Monte Cristo. Even the second Three Musketeers film had a box office drop The West only has incompetent screenwriters who distort the original material to convey feminist content and other ideologies. They will insert fmeinism into the Count of Monte Cristo in which the Count will have an abusive relationship with Haydee. Interview with actress Anamaria Vartolomei talking about the character she plays Haydee: In the original “Deux rôles qui semblent éloignés sur le papier. Pourtant, la rébellion est le dénominateur commun de ces personnages : Haydée s'affranchira de l'emprise psychologique de Monte-Cristo, quand Maria Schneider, malgré son traumatisme et sa toxicomanie, refusera de se conformer au modèle que la société du spectacle avait prévu pour elle. « Il est essentiel de raconter des parcours de femmes libres, autonomes et indépendantes qui osent dire non et s'affirmer », assure la jeune actrice, totalement en phase avec les aspirations de sa génération. Sa conscience féministe s'est forgée au fil des collaborations artistiques et des lectures (Nora, héroïne moderne et indépendante d'Une maison de poupée, la célèbre pièce de théâtre de Henrik Ibsen, est son modèle), ou en observant sa mère, une infirmière qui a dû repenser sa vie en changeant de pays. Sa famille reste le socle sur lequel s'est bâti un tempérament solide et déterminé.” “Two roles that seem far apart on paper. However, rebellion is the common denominator of these characters: Haydée will free herself from the psychological influence of Monte Cristo, when Maria Schneider, despite her trauma and her drug addiction, will refuse to conform to the model that the society of the spectacle had planned for her. “It is essential to tell the stories of free, autonomous and independent women who dare to say no and assert themselves,” assures the young actress, totally in tune with the aspirations of her generation. Her feminist consciousness was forged through artistic collaborations and readings (Nora, the modern and independent heroine of A Doll's House, the famous play by Henrik Ibsen, is her model), or by observing her mother, a nurse who had to rethink her life by changing countries. His family remains the foundation on which a solid and determined temperament was built.” Woke culture needs to be destroyed.

Too bad three musketeers was pretty bad. I had high hopes for it.

Totally agree but I will say this also looks pretty good.

He was awesome but the way they butchered that scenario compared to the novel was shameful...

The 2002 adaptation is garbage. In the book, the count lost interest in Mercedes and marries an Eastern princess. The count is a rich and powerful man like Julis Caesar and Caesra had the young queen Cleopatra as a lover. A man like the Count would never be interested in returning to Mercedes. Caesar was married and this did not prevent him from having an affair with Cleopatra, it would not be an old engagement that would be an obstacle for the king and his young princess, Haydee.

The film The Prisoner of Château d'If (1988) is the best adaptation of the book.

@@GaiusJuliusCaesar-dx9nl That's fair, compare most movies to the book and you're going to come up short...I however have not read the book so can't comment on that. As a stand-alone film, it was very enjoyable for me personally.

The 2002 film is a mediocre, simplistic and charmless film. The book already has an exotic Eastern flavor, as Alexandre Dumas read the biography of Caesar written by Plutarch, added an exotic Eastern princess inspired by Cleopatra to be the count's lover. And only the Soviet adaptation The prisoner of Château d'if (1988) brings the story of the book.

@@user-sv8ol6vu5k I believe we are all entitled to our opinions, and as true ladies and gentlemen we respect each other’s opinion. I think for at age 67 the 2002 was a classic, but others may think differently and I respect them for their honesty

AGREED.

completely- still adore it today

I'll look for that, thanks. I only knew of the Antonio Banderas one.

C'me on, mate. Have you ever read the book? That Hollywood bastardization was an enjoyable but shallow story that does not transmit anything of the original story's depth and wisdom. There is certainly room for better screen versions of The Count of Monte Cristo. Not to mention the fact that, surprising as that may be for Americans, the language spoken in France is French, not English.

that movie is an insult to the magnificient story that the count of montecristo is. Imagine! The count ends with mercedes instead of the beautiful young Hayde!

3 hours long

@@AuxaneST Thank you very much. Certainly not going to get the whole novel in that space of time.

There will also be a television series with 8 episodes. With Sam Claflin as the Count and Jeremy Irons as Abbé Faria.

@@user-sv8ol6vu5k Now that's really cool. In 8 hours, there will be a chunk of time to tell other parts of the story and not just the usual done over again. Thank you very much.

"Dumb-ass?" "You'll like it; it's about a prison break."

That trash American film. All Americans can do is make terrible films out of excellent books. The horrifying 2002 adaptation is not the first adaptation of the French book. There is a film from 1908.

@@Mulhergostaedehomemrico It's fantastic.

Man Baby,

ZZZzzzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZZZ

Shame on you for cheering on a genocidal dictator that is daily killing, raping and torturing civilians, women, children, old people. If you think feminism is worse than this, you need to get you head checked.

Vous avez raison, Nous irons au cinéma à votre place. Restez chez vous bien au chaud. 🙃

Pas une grosse perte. Ne sortez pas...
