How We Missed The Count of Monte Cristo

[@danyg4063]

One of my favorite movies. Couple corrected points, though. Mercedes wore her makeshift ring for 16 years. Edmond was in the Chateau D'if for 13 years, and then it took him an additional 3 to sail with the Spanish privateers, find Spada's gold, and build up the identity of the Count of Monte Cristo. ;)

[@indieupside]

Fair point, appreciate the correction, it’s even longer than I thought 😂

[@danyg4063]

@@indieupside Yea, no worries. :) It's one of my favorite novels and movies, so I thought you might appreciate the added detail. Really goes to show how much Mercedes continued to love Edmond.

I paid a carpenter to handcraft a kings piece, with a wooden box, and gifted it to my husband with a card that said “Kings to You” for Christmas one year.

[@indieupside]

That is absolutely incredible, what an amazing gift! 😁

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

Damn what did he do to wrong you? Did you also wait 13 years to give it to him

[@driprubies2464]

That’s a top tier gift!

[@celestialnubian]

I didn't miss it. Saw it in theater and bought the DVD. One of my favorite movies. You should do Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing next.

[@indieupside]

Ahh that would definitely be a good one! I’ll add it to the collection 😄 Thanks for watching!

[@dentzierands8357]

I was literally watching this movie today,and i watch it quite often. The bad guys will have no trouble making you hate them.

[@wolfeyez77]

The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorite movies, especially the filming speed tricks they do during the fight scenes.

[@7bestthings]

One of my all time favorite movies. It is one of the most satisfying payback movies ever made. Great video! Thanks!

[@indieupside]

I couldn't agree more, thanks so much! 😀

[@JDN_OrNothing]

Such an underrated movie. Awesome video 😄😄

[@thelongneck8993]

This guy is a movie connoisseur. You should make some more videos!

As a grandiose adventure story by Alexander (3 MUSKETEERS) Dumas, a story that has been made into several films since the 1930's, a TV-movie mini-series, and even an Anime series, THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO has a lot to offer and the version championed here was the first one I saw (and enjoyed) in its theatrical release. I've seen most of the other adaptations of the novel and now have the book itself on my shelf -- to open and lose myself therein.

"Perhaps you should get out more." One of my favorite movies. I rewatch it regularly. I did _not_ know that kid was Henry Cavill.

[@LeaLeaa-d5b]

That random Hallelujah at "Jesus" made me laugh out way too loud :D

[@MusicM1ke]

Your video skills are truly impressive! The way you capture moments and tell a story through your editing and visuals is captivating. You have a knack for making even the simplest scenes come alive, and your creativity really shines through. Keep up the amazing work; it's inspiring to see someone so passionate about their craft!

[@etantife]

This was me and my brother’s favorite movie as kids. It made us want to read the novel and it started our love for classic literature.

[@zoranbl1990]

One of my favorie movies ever. There are many versions but this one stands for the best-at least for me. I watched everything, have the book too. This story is timeless

[@drewlavay]

Got talked into seeing this in theaters when I was 13 and I remember leaving that theater thinking it was the best movie ever lol

[@magicalmystery1964]

I love it! You’re right. It deserves far more accolades than it gets. The cast is terrific, the acting is definitely on point, and you just can’t beat the story. I actually prefer this version to the original movie. Jim Caviezel just played the part perfectly. And let’s be honest. He’s gorgeous. Guy Pierce is always good in everything he’s in. The only one I didn’t care for was the actress who played Mercedes. And basically it’s because her facial expression never changes and for some reason when she speaks her lines, her upper lip refuses to move. That got really annoying. Other than that it’s a great movie that I watch over and over to this day

[@1280mperez]

One of my top movies of all time.

[@helenetrstrup4817]

In my defense.... I was 8. I was made aware of it by the new TV series, because mom and I stumbled upon it shortly before Christmas, and then I proceeded to watch this and 3 other movie adaptations (the 2024 french movie, the 1934 and the 1975 ones) and the anime from 2004, that was an experience, I tell you. I will say that Richard Harris' line: "But did you name them yet?" is probably going to live rent free in my head for the rest of my life.

[@indieupside]

Richard Harris was so good in it! Thanks so much for watching :)

[@jose0316]

I rediscover this movie even 6 months . And watch it up 3 time . Great movie.

[@meik5613]

What a masterpiece 🔥

[@DennisBirkholz]

One of my top 3 movies of all time!

[@Adaman135]

Before watching the video, love this movie

[@ronnex5956]

Loved the movie, even got me to read the book

[@stageprophet]

To Indie Upside: Well done. But what stuck out to me is that demographically it's absolutely accurate. For a change. Imagine another version with politically correct DEI casting. which would have been ahistorical and with e.g. Africans as some of the characters ( Dare I say) but by watching this version you get an accurate depiction of what European history was really like. Not angels by any means, sometimes monsters - but that's the point to show the human condition in all its folly as well as it's acheivements - the way it really happened. Meanwhile, in the U.S. we have a deluge of multi-racial casting which distorts or replaces accurate history with an indecipherable melange. Brainwashing by any other name and which Stalin, the CCP and the Comintern would be proud of. That may be the point for the coming Brave New World of no meritocracy but replacement out of guilt. (Maybe it's my maturity but sometimes I feel like I"m seeing what's going on from another galaxy where the planet has been replaced by lemmings. ) Maybe that's why it didn't make any money cuz the minorities here who make up a sizable portion of the movie house crowd felt 'excluded'. Too bad. Make a story about African Kings. Enfin: History - to make any sense out of it and learn some thing from it must not be re-written. Otherwise you end up IMHO with a hodge podge of a conused mess. Why isn't that kind of thing which is becoming overwhelming in the U.S. being called cultural appropriation? There's a price to be paid for the Decline of the West (Spengler). If you doubt what I'm saying come to the Apple and see some theater - even Off Off Bway - which exists in a bubble of PC brainwashing where anything but the original goes.

[@lisaspikes4291]

This is a great movie. See it if you haven’t yet.

[@dusepdude7311]

there is a new one from 2024 it is in French but I find it much more successful and much more epic😎

[@indieupside]

I saw the ads from it, it looks awesome! I’ll have to check it out 👍 I’m still hoping for an epic mini series that really aims to bring the book to life, there’s so much in it that would be amazing to see done right!

[@karac.a.]

One of the best films made in this century ❤

[@blaarghwee]

It only came out a few weeks ago? Oh.. this is about a different one than the trailer I just watched. So I won't see the guy from Memento in weird costumes? Bummer.

[@LeaLeaa-d5b]

I saw this in the movie theater and it was ma introduction to Henry Cavill. When he blew up a few years later and people started recommending him it was really funny.

[@robinhood2524]

16 years on her finger

[@indieupside]

Yeah, I only accounted for the 13 years in Château d'If, you’re 100% correct. I should’ve said at least 13 years or something 😂 Thanks so much for watching!

[@cranialtyrant]

A better revenge movie? There Will Be Blood.

[@indieupside]

I just bought that for my brother on Blu-ray for the holidays, that’s a really good one!
