[@JoergWeida]

So funny: 'Everyone looks like Henry Cavill!'. Especially, when Albert IS played by Henry Cavill (btw, his first casting). And earlier at the beginning of the movie 'Edmond looks like Henry Cavill!'. So it was the perfect casting of Henry Cavill as son!

[@paulm4996]

His second role, but yeah, I laughed when she said that as well

[@TheGavrael]

7:35 "He looks a little like Henry Cavill". That's an amazing connection to make, especially with what happens later in the film.

[@goyasolidar]

Mercedes was a name for women long before the car.

[@brandonmartin08]

The car brand was actually named after the founders daughter!

[@goyasolidar]

@@davewatkins4868 You'd be surprised at how many people don't know this is based on a novel.

[@christophjannek5398]

"Mercedes? Like the Car?!?" LOL! Actually the other way round is true: The cars once were named after Mercedes Jellinek, the daughter of their chief importer to Austro-Hungary, Emil Jellinek 🙂

[@dorivalcamargojr2953]

Yayyyy that's a great movie and one of my favourite books. I've even been in Chateau D'If due to this history.

[@odysseus3285]

Why didn't Dumas make an Edmond and Mercedes ending together? Alexandre Dumas read Homer (Dumas A., Mes Mémoires, Paris, Bouquins, 2003, p. 590)) and The Odyssey influenced the book The Count of Monte Cristo. In Book IV of The Odyssey, Telemachus visits Menelaus who won Helen back after his elopement with Paris. Helen was sorry for what she did, but still Menelaus needed to use drugs to forget his painful memories like Helen's union with Paris. This influenced Alexandre Dumas. Edmond would never be happy with Mercedes and would never forget her marriage to Fernand. This would always make him have painful memories. Their marriage would be deeply unhappy. Haydee does not bring the count the painful memories that Mercedes does. More realistic for him to be happy with Haydée.

[@adnap]

"Quite liberating isn’t it ?" I’ll liberate you. I’ll liberate you from life. Lesson #1: Don’t cheat on Biss. "He wants to drive the car." I literally laughed out loud at that one. 😂 Also, I never knew that was Henry Cavill. Good catch! But did anyone else recognize Villefort as Franklin from True Blood ?

[@lesliedaubert1411]

Everyone was told that Edmond was dead. It had also been 16 years since they last saw him. Some people forget others' faces. Especially when they are told they are dead. Mercedes loved Edmond so much that she couldn't forget him.

[@ἸλιάςὈδύσσεια]

But in the book Edmond never forgave Mercedes for marrying Fernand. ONLY IN A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE WOULD A MAN BE HAPPY FOR HIS EX. BRIDE HAVING SEX WITH HER WORST ENEMY. The film The Prisoner of Château d'If shows Edmond's anger at the fact that Mercedes married Fernand

[@dirtyhawkstv1575]

You make a perfect point. Had Edmond been known to be alive because of the way the brain works, they would have recognized him. Believing he's dead, the brain would just tell you he looks like someone you knew.

[@fooddog45]

Fun fact: the old man in the prison with Edmond, is Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator. 19:04

[@mybricksters9800]

This is still my all time favorite movie since it came out.

[@jameshenner5831]

"Be smart. I know you're named after a car, but you got this."

[@joeldykman7591]

3:52 If I recall correctly, in the book, It was noted that Edmund lived in an area that spoke a mixture of French and Italian. This movie was made for an American audience primarily, so i understand why they didn't get into regional dialect stuff.

[@65damdamdam]

Bisscute is always so surprised at the name Mercedes for a girl instead of a car. But the car was actually named after the founders daughter Mercedes Jellinek

[@KayeValencia]

'"That ugly Fernand cannot produce something so pretty that is Henry Cavill" had me LOL big time! 😂😂😂😂

[@bobdeleon3826]

Hi Biss, great reaction. His sidekick was played by Luis Guzman ( Gomez Addams) from Wednesday, and a ton of other movies.

[@adnap]

I’ve seen him in a ton of movies, but he will forever be cemented in my mind as the "Jumper" from Yes Man, now.

[@Akaeus]

"But have you named them yet?" One of the best lines

[@1938superman]

28:31 That is Luis Guzman. One of the most recent things you may have seen him in is the show Wednesday on Netflix. He played Gomez Addams. Wednesday's father. But he's been in a lot of other things too.

[@SG-js2qn]

I like this retelling of the story. IMO, this is one of the great tales in literature that should never be forgotten. If you are a book reader, read this book, plus of course the The Musketeers books by the same author (Dumas). Speaking of which, I have a fondness for "The Three Musketeers" and "The Four Musketeers" movies, done in the 70s. Classics!

[@gregsteele806]

Have you seen the 70's version of Count of Monte Cristo? It stars Richard Chamberlain who played Aramis in the 70's Three Musketeers.

[@SG-js2qn]

@@gregsteele806 Was that the miniseries? Richard Chamberlain was king of the miniseries back then. Netflix before Netflix, I guess.

[@Βυβλίς]

The book is great, but this movie is terrible. Very narcissistic on the part of the screenwriter to believe in changing the story completely. especially thinking about a man reconciling with his ex-fiancée who married the man who ruined his life. The woman had to be very narcissistic to believe that a man would accept a new beginning after she had sex with her enemy. On June 28th, the French adaptation with Pierre Niney opens in cinemas.

[@SG-js2qn]

@@Βυβλίς There's nearly always a difference between book and movie, and you know Hollywood has to stick Hollywood things in there. We're just lucky there wasn't a musical dance scene, pie fight, and fourth wall breaking (though I do like "Blazing Saddles").

[@Telcontar86]

With so many adaptations doing it completely wrong in the past 10 years, this is an example of a good film adaptation. Changed a lot while remaining true to a lot of the plot points and the overall message of the story. I do agree with your small criticism of the lack of accents, and I like your accent a lot, coincidentally

[@Denisov-in7ji]

The film is mediocre and poorly written. Even an artificial intelligence could write a better script than Jay Wolpert. Alexandre Dumas read Homer (Dumas A., Mes Mémoires, Paris, Bouquins, 2003, p. 590) and The Odyssey influenced the story. The count of Monte Chrysot works with the premise of how Ulysses would act if Penelope had gotten married to one of the pretndenes. He would never take her back and would marry Princess Nausicaa who is personified by Haydee. Not even the existence of Telemachus would prevent Ulysses from repudiating if Penelope married one of the suitors. Fortunately, in 2024 we will have a miniseries with Sam Claflin.

[@joeldykman7591]

I do wish for a more faithful adaptation of the book. Though trying to sell edmund riding off onto the sunset with a 14 year old girl might be a hard sell to most current audiences.

[@Denisov-in7ji]

@@joeldykman7591 The French adaptation with Pierre Niney premieres on June 28th. And we will have a miniseries with Sam Claflin this year.

Biss: "How much money do you want to spend? Yes." 😂

[@fidel2xl]

Pretty okay reaction to an awesome movie. As a friendly FYI, although this movie was based on the 1830s novel by black French author Alexander Dumas, this adaptation was made for American audiences which is why the filmmakers decided not to go heavy with French accents. That decision was the director's choice. The author is the same one who also wrote "The Three Musketeers" and "The Man In The Iron Mask" in the 1830s. Also, the name 'Mercedes' was a common name in Europe long before cars were invented. Btw, just 2 years later in 2004, the same actor (Jim Caviezel) who played the role of Edmund Dantes/The Count of Monte Cristo, also played the role of Jesus in the Mel Gibson movie "The Passion of The Christ"....a movie where he was also beaten and tortured. There have been many Hollywood movie adaptations of the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo", at least since the 1930s. This 2002 version is one of my favs. But another adaptation of the "TCOMC" that I still love and occasionally binge-watch, is the modern TV adaptation from ABC Network called "Revenge", which aired for 4 seasons from 2011 to 2015. It was based on the present era, with most of the storyline centered in the Hamptons, Long Island (NY). GREAT TV series..."Revenge". Also, I'm not sure if you realized it...but the young actor who played the role of his 16-year old son, 'Albert', is actually actor Henry Cavill who went on to play Clark Kent/Superman in the DC Universe movies over 10 years later ('Man of Steel", 'Batman vs Superman", 'Justice League').

[@billbillinger2117]

Of all the iterations on film, this is my favorite one.

[@christinejalandoni5919]

This may be the funniest reaction to this movie. From the German car thing to your uncertainty about Henry Cavill 😂

[@jimglenn6972]

You have the German car thing wrong. Daimler’s daughter was named Mercedes there for the car was later. The book is a classic and so is the author. It was written when books were top caliber and it goes on for hundreds and hundreds of pages. Reading it was a big and wonderful experience. The book end quite differently from the film, too.

[@christinejalandoni5919]

Yes I know Mercedes is a name. This is why it was funny.

[@totomomo18]

Great movie. Really one of the best I have ever seen. If you like this you must see Frequency 2000 a great movie with the same lead actor .

7:43 Funny you should say that. This movie is the first place I ever saw Henry Cavill. He is very young in here.

[@nathanjacobus3577]

They don't do the best of jobs in portraying it in the film. But I believe the book mentions his years of suffering in prison left Edmond significantly altered in appearance. Allowing him to better hide his true identity from those he once knew. Another great film adaptation of a classic piece of literature is The Time Machine. I think you'd enjoy that one as well.. 😊

[@nightfall902]

This film has absolutely nothing in common with the book other than most of the names.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

They didn't have photographs at that time, so that was a factor.

[@baronvg]

35:07 “They did do some sexy time between the rocks.” Lmfao such a cute way to say it and coupled with the accent, it’s chef’s kiss 👨‍🍳🤌

[@musicbaker]

The book is fantastic and a must read if you enjoyed this. The movie deviates quite a bit from the book and there are quite a few details in the movie that bother me but it's still entertaining to watch.

[@odysseus3285]

The ending was the film's biggest mistake. Why didn't Dumas make an Edmond and Mercedes ending together? Alexandre Dumas read Homer (Dumas A., Mes Mémoires, Paris, Bouquins, 2003, p. 590)) and The Odyssey influenced the book The Count of Monte Cristo. In Book IV of The Odyssey, Telemachus visits Menelaus who won Helen back after his elopement with Paris.

Edmond would never be happy with Mercedes and would never forget her marriage to Fernand. This would always make him have painful memories. Their marriage would be deeply unhappy. Haydee does not bring the count the painful memories that Mercedes does. More realistic for him to be happy with Haydée. Filming of the French adaptation has already finished with Pierre Niney as the Count and Anamaria Vartolomei as Haydee. The film hits theaters in 2024.

Another, more accurate version of "The Count of Monte Cristo" is the 1998 miniseries version starring Gerard Depardieu... and it's in French, with subtitles. Much longer, much darker, but more accurate. And a great performance by Depardieu.

[@matthewconner7800]

I have watched several reactions to this, and am enjoying your take on it. You’re the first reactor I’ve seen that figured out Albert is Edmond’s son so very early, and just by spotting the resemblance. Now, some comments: The guard that shot at Edmond when he was riding away to flee, near the beginning, was not a bad shot. Flintlock guns have a delay between the pull of the trigger and the ignition of the main powder charge, so shooting a fast moving target is NOT easy. There are several reasons why it was so hard for his old associates to recognize Edmond. First, everyone thought he was dead, they would not ever expect to see him. He’s 16 years older. Yes, the facial hair is part of it, but a small part. Most importantly, all of his mannerisms are wildly different than when he was young, naive Edmond Dantes. His bearing, the set of his face, how he looks at people, how he talks, all different, all played to his role as the wildly rich Count of Monte Cristo.

[@jchendrix]

If you visit Marseille it will not look like this. Most of the movie was filmed in Malta and I have visited many of the locations there.

[@gregsteele806]

26:52 It wasn't three months. He was with the smugglers for years in the novel. That's the biggest oversight in the movie. Not sure if it was a typo kind of mistake or a deliberate alteration of the book. Either way, it doesn't make sense when you add up the time he was in d'If and look at the age of his son.

[@QuantumFerret]

Funnily enough I’ll be visiting Marseille in a couple of weeks, we’ll see how it goes 😄

Great film based on a classic of universal literature, thanks for this one Bisscute ❤❤the protagonist is Jim Caviezel who played Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson's film: The Passion (a recommendation for future reactions).

[@rromano158]

18:13 If you look closely, you will notice he accidentally blows out the candle, but a light still shines, probably from a hidden flashlight.

(Dave Strong) --- Count of Monte Cristo (2002) with Jim Caviezel is the HAPPY reunion version for Mercedes and most of the fans of the story. The NOVEL (and other movie versions) has the Count of Monte Cristo separating from Mercedes at the end and instead lives his life with Haydee (the daughter of Ali Pasha) whom he rescued from slavery. It's assumed that Edmund and Haydee marry with a happy ending.
