"The minority, the ruling class at present, has the schools and press, usually the Church as well, under its thumb. This enables it to organize and sway the emotions of the masses, and make its tool of them."
~ Albert Einstein, letter to Sigmund Freud, 30 July 1932
@r1dd3l3r I think in this case it means that Dantes wll defend Alber in the mock kidnapping in order to bring attention to himself & get into the lives of Mondego and Mercedes so that he can plan his revenge on his betraying former friend. And by doing this he feels it will put an end to his hate and anger towards those who betrayed him, & can then get on with his life. So, Alber will be his "means", or who he needs, to gain access to his enemy so he appears to meet him accidentally.
is he a French Comte or an English Earl? Is Monte Cristo a French or English territory in this film?
because "Count" does not exist in the English system. Instead of 'Count' in English it is called an "Earl" from the Anglo-Saxon variation of the French "Comte" and the Latin "Comes" ....
@arcaon567 Have we succeeded? We think so. Before long we shall have covered with our narratives an enormous period of time; between the "Comtesse de Salisbury' and the "Comte de Monte Christo" five centuries and a half are compresed. Well, we assert that we have taught France as much history about those five centuries and a half as any historian. This passage is from The Companions of Jehu which was written by Alexandre Dumas pere.
@arcaon567 This passage is from The incredible marquis by Herbert Gorman entitled the soldier of fortune(chapter six) It was natural that Dumas believed implicitly in the magic of somnambulism, in animal magnetism and in chiromancy. No Haitian negro dancing before his Voodoo altar was more superstitious than Dumas. Home, to Dumas, therefore, was an authentically inspired adept in communicating with unseen world.
@arcaon567 "Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT owing NO allegiance and acknowledging NO responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul this unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today." PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT, 1906
I still love "Did you fall off the bed?" Jacopo is the best. That's all I can say. and I love Albert. Plus Mercedes' "May i remind you, my love, that in Paris there are mistresses aplenty but, you have only one son."
The Count Mondego is brilliant, he is so utterly evil but in a funny way, I think he's a New Zealand actor. Didn't Tony Curtis also play this role in another version?
@XcrazyphangurlX I woudve slapped him across the face if I was Mercedes!!!!!!! God I hate him!!!!!! I mean, hes not even ashamed about cheating on his wife countless times! -:((((
I live in Malta, where parts of this Awesome movie was filmed. So its really strange for me to see such familiar scenes :) The loud carnival scene was actually shot in 'The Silent City' a.k.a Mdina..:)
@TorynMarch Its a joke. There is a Mel Brooke's film called History of the World part 1. In it there is a character named Count De Mo Ney. Count the money. No real idea what a real Count, Duke, or whatever do besides eat and sleep in fancy places.
@VioletVolturi you can go to Rome at 16 and party with your friends. the legal drinking age and clubbing age is 16 in Italy. Hard liquor is 18 though, but still you can get it very easily especially if youre american.
It's funny cause when they were in Rome I was yelling 'assassins creed'!! It was just like the game!! And when I first saw the movie I was like OMG Edmund is hot then when ALbert, his son appeared i was like Damn he produced a fine young man!! U can really tell in the breakfast scene tat they r father n son compared to Ferdinand!! I love alberts wild, flying cape by the way!!:D
If you were 16 again, and some random, sexy looking person just came up to you at some party event and kissed you, would you suspect treachery, or run after them?
Does anyone know what the food put in front of edmond and count mondego's son was? It looks so good and yet I don't have a fucking clue what it is lol
the time line in this movie is really fucked up lol. He spent 13-14 years in prision 3 months at sea then how is that kid 16 when she was with edmond and not pregnant
@ishan610 He also spent time to get his revenge set up (ex: to find the gold, get some decent clothing, etc) so add a year or 2, then add travel time.
lol, we watched this movie for a fun day back in French class and at 3:45 all the girls in our class were like "Oooo lala helllooooo there!" and all us guys were like ".......=("
@mibarra122 he also looks a lot like his mother. Even Mercedes and Dantes looks really alike so you cant say if Albert looks only like his mother or not.
@original1sun yeah i read the beginning and saw that fernand and dantes weren't even friends and that fernand and mercedes were cousins, eww. lol my mom read it adn she really liked it. i plan on make it my goal this year.
