My reaction for the movie "the count of Monte Cristo"
Reaction paper for the movie

“The Count of Monte Cristo”

“God will give me justice,” this line which was engraved in the wall on the prison was retained on my mind when I watched the movie” The Count of Monte Cristo.” This movie amazed me very much because of its excellent theme.

I really like the story because it has a mixed of drama, suspense and romance. Furthermore, it was not a boring one to watch. The actors and actresses were superb in portraying their roles especially James Caviezel who portrayed the role of Edmond Dantes. I’m also amazed with the settings of the story. The views are awe-inspiring.

My adrenalin rush got higher because of many exciting scenes. First, was when Edmond Dantes was whipped in the prison by the authorities where he suffered in pain. Second, when another innocent prisoner taught him to write, read and to fence where he became wise and plotted revenge. Thirdly, when he fought with Fernand Mondego because it was very dramatic and it suspend me. I noticed also the rainbow while they are fighting.

After I watched the movie, I remember the two novels of Rizal because it has some similarities. Examples were the following; when Ibarra was abducted and imprisoned, the unending love for Maria Clara, and in El Filibusterismo where Ibarra disguised as Simoun and plotted for revenge also. No doubt, why Rizal enjoyed reading the book of “The Count of Monte Cristo,” by Alexander Dumas. And why people tried to made it as a movie.

The lavish scenery, dramatic acting and wonderful score all help make "The Count of Monte Cristo" a film worth watching. Truly, the movie was one of the best movies I watched in my eighteen years of existence and I really love it. I learned in this movie that “trials are not the reasons to give up but inspirations to move

    The movie and the book Like Water for Chocolate are both well written. I enjoyed the book because it had a different layout than the other books we have read thus far. The film was an asset to see because it followed the book so well that it gave you more ideas about things that you might not have totally understood while reading it. This is the first Spanish movie that has had such a positive effect on the book which makes the movie that much more amazing.…

    The director made this movie was to catch the viewer’s eye with a true story. It was very interesting to watch because of all of the parenphena going on through out the movie. The director produced this in a way of everything being very precise but at the same time giving it a Hollywood twist. All of the lighting, soundtrack and imagery are on spot and having Leonardo play the role of Mr. Belfort was excellent casting. It felt as though the movie had more than one climax as it as so exciting.…

    Monte Cristo Unjust

    • 1175 Words
    • 5 Pages

    In clarifying the blatantly subjective nature of the term "Justice," it is easy to determine that the Count of Monte Cristo was unjust in his actions. He may have been acting out of a personal sense of justice, but was selfish and short-sighted enough to injure people on whom he did not intend to wreak revenge. His sense of justice, was not, contrary to what the term itself implied, just. The fates of, and events surrounding, Caderousse, Benedetto, Albert, and Danglars all support the charge that the Count of Monte Cristo acted unjustly.…

    This movie does a great job of capturing the novel, as it is what every book lover has ever wanted from a movie. It uses the same setting, dialogue, characters, and plot of the book, a teleplay if you will. The casting matches perfectly with the image of French romance and philosophy, and aside from things that must be ignored due to the productions age (sound quality, camera work, picture quality) I can’t find anything wrong with it. If you absolutely cannot bring yourself to read the book, watching the movie will suffice.…
