Review: In The Count of Monte Cristo, Kevin Reynolds brings us another action filled romance. We see a few of the same characters, but many new faces were added to the set.
When Edmond is sent to the political prison, prison where people are sent because the upper class are ashamed of them, he has a long time to plan out his revenge. The way he decided to go through with his revenge was brilliant and very well played
Edmond is imprisoned wrongfully and wasts away in prison and when i say waste away i mean it was the medieval ara so it wasn't a good place to be and it was amazing that he didn't die while he was there. Once he was released however he claimed his riches and went to his castle, it is here when he begins planning his revenge on the three men who got him locked up.

Caderousse: one of the original plotters against Edmond, he unlike Danglars and Fernand doesn’t get rich off of the scheme. In fact he chooses not to take an active part in the crime of framing Edmond for something he didn’t commit. This doesn’t mean he isn’t greedy, he is but more however he is constantly dissatisfied with his state/position and is not afraid to use any means at his disposal to rise further and further above his station. Including thievery and murder, this though gets him killed by the count when trying to rob him. Thus getting Edmond one step closure to his ultimate goal of complete vengeance.
The Greek Civil War Was Caused by an Economic and political crisis after the Second World war and ran from 1946-1949. Because of The war, many greeks Migrated to Australia seeking a better life. Over 160000 migrants came to Australia after WW2. The person I’ll be telling you about is Konstantinos Panagaris.
One soldier even suggests that the locket is a lucky charm for Edmond, seeing as though he has never even gotten a scratch from battle. This foreshadowing made the ending more predictable because the story continues to lead up to Edmond’s “death” when it has already been discussed that Edmond has never been injured from battle. Though it would’ve been very ironic if Edmond were really dead because of how “lucky” the locket is; that’s not the case here.

In the film, the story of fallen banker Andy Dufresne (portrayed by Tim Robins) is told. After being wrongfully convicted of the

You are watching a ballerina. As she leaps through the air, you recognize the beauty, but she lands too quickly for you to notice the detail. Spectacular moments, such as this, go by so quickly onstage that most people miss them. Richard Calmes captures these “bursts of beauty” through photography.
One work that influenced me the most this semester was From U.S.A. by John Dos Pasos. His work made me think about the question, How then shall I live? This has brought me to go back and think about how my life has been this far, now that I’m 21. Everyones life has bumps in the road and obstacles to over come. If they didn't life would just be perfect for everyone and thats certainly something thats not going to happen.

In every country has different value of money, the money represents as “yourself” attitude to others.

Edmond angry with those who wrongly punished him, decides that vengeance is the best way to get justice. When the Monte Cristo moved into his new house, on the Avenue des Champs Elysées, Bertuccio, his servant, was telling him a story about how he stabbed Villefort, in that same house, and how he took the baby that was in the box, that Villefort was about to bury. After the story, Monte Cristo thought to himself, “For every evil there are two remedies: time and
The Count of Monte Cristo is fabulously entertaining with its mixture of revenge, love, suspense, and action sequences; transporting audiences back to a time when honor and loyalty were highly valued and a man’s last name was more important than the man himself. It seems there is something for everyone in this film. While the beautiful love story speaks to the romantic, the dueling swordplay and thought of buried treasure speaks to the inner child.

While the plot is exciting enough on its own, the awe-inspiring scenery, flavorful language, and superb acting are what turn this classic story into a truly enthralling and passionate film.

No the being of his dark descent is when he learns that by working with inmate in the cell over he could get out. It is at that moment Edmond beings
