I just came to hear him say “once I was as you are now, but I promise it will pass. I promise I promise.” Just as a reminder to my former self. And to my current self, from my future self.
There really was an Abbe Jose Custodio de Faria, who was a pioneer of hypnosis. He died in 1819. Oh and BTW he spent some time in the Chateau d'If. He was released and became a Professor of Philosophy afterwards. This was the real man behind Dumas' fictional character, Abbe Faria.
I knew the basic story came from obscure court records Dumas had transcribed in his youth, but didn't know Abbe Faria was based on actual Abbe. Thank you.
PLEASE KNOW: Dumas' father was a (part Black, Aristocratic Haitian) valiant and heroic General whom Napoleon was jealous of & he had the senior Dumas imprisoned to the point where it affected his health.
@@tulelazule6914 Yeah. And Porthos in the Musketeer novels is somewhat based on him, especially the huge guy with superhuman strength part. But I was talking of Abbe Faria from The Count of Monte Cristo.
Wonderful little added moment that reveals so much of what Edmond has endured: He touches the chair and gestures to the Abbe with a "May I?" expression. Abbe's shrug answers: "Sure, go ahead." Then, Edmond's pleasure and relief at being able to sit properly after so long, and Abbe's chuckle of amusement. A wonderful and revealing moment, with no dialogue needed.
I fell in love with this novel when i first read it when i was in my 8 th or 9th grade in India in the early 90s. The interactions between Edmond and Faria and how he taught Edmond ,always intrigued me. Unfortunately, in the movie although well made , the Edmond -Faria portions were not that detailed. Nevertheless, this remains to be one of my favorite movies till date.
Richard Harris man. Ridiculously underrated actor. Just imagine if he was alive to continue playing dumbledore. How much sadder and emotional his death could’ve been. Instead we got an old homeless man in a snoop hat to play him
Could you imagine Richard Harris doing some of the more physical scenes at his advanced age age and health? He was 71 and 72 when filming the first two. He barely moved around in the first two Harry Potter movies. The Goblet of Fire, The Order of the Phoenix and The Half-Blood Prince had some scenes that Harris could not have pulled off as good as Gambon. Running at Harry to see if he put his name in the Goblet, The battle with Voldemort at the Ministry of Magic. Taking the water in the cave to get the locket and using the fire to destroy the things that came out of the water when Harry touched it. The acting as he falling after Snape used the killing curse on him Harris would not have done any of these well.
TH-cam waits 9 years to offer me a potato quality of "The Count of Monte Cristo" that I want to watch? My desire to watch it is as real as the treasure ... though I wished I had it sooner.
Watched this movie long after it was released, I know it's been made previously years and years before that, I'd heard of the name but not anything about the plot( like it being a prison break kinda thing) so the scence of him coming through the floor was completely unexpected 😂, one of best movies I've seen, great story, great actors
Richard Harris ? When you had him off camera with Peter O'Toole , Oliver Reed and Richard Burton , it was like " Super Hero's " on steroids ! England's " Rat Pack " . They were the coolest & hippest ! Men wanted to be like them and their women screamed their names during the washing machine spin cycle's ! Their drinking bouts were legendary and their drinking holes modest ! No fancy " Club 54 " or " Whiskey A Go Go " . Some local Irish drinking Pub outside Dublin , near to a film location . Places they would go back to years later and they still knew the owners and every ones name ! They lived as they acted , which made acting as easy as emptying a drink ! Thank you , powers that be , for sharing them with us ! I will not see their kind again ! The movie ? WOW ! " There is no deeper pit than a mans mind " LDT .
The one thing I found questionable about this, Edmond's inability to read and write. Certainly in that period illiteracy wasn't at all uncommon, but Edmond was the son of a Noble Lord's clerk, and an officer aboard a merchant ship, a position that does require some education, hard to believe his father wouldn't have put a premium on his son's education.
The only thing about this that bugs me is the reading and writing comment. Edmond is a former sailor and 3in Command of a ship. He would have known how to read and write and do mathematics to do that job.
I like the 1975 movie version of "The Count of Monte Cristo," with Richard Chamberlain much better than this version but this version is still really good.
If there’s anything to know about prisons is that people don’t fucking care about prisoners. The bucket is full of liquid and brown mass, you can sprinkle plenty of dirt in there unnoticed, it looks exactly the same, just muddy. I get ur joke just a bit annoyed how every little thing can get nitpicked on yt nowadays

Me too

Abbe faria is a great lesson:”no matter how bad you think your life is, it can always improve. “
What about the people being trafficked that hve been filtered towards satanists.. You hve heard the story's and dark Web. Judgement is coming!
Damn right
Sometimes
Edmond: There are 72,519 stones in my walls. I've counted them many times.
Abbe Faria: But have you named them yet?
How depressing is it to hear that lmao
*Noooooooo I haveeeeeeen't* 🥺😭
Thats hard time.
If I was Edmond, I would have laughed hysterically at the his insanity and my own before transitioning to crying.
@@mkaplan1383 real hard-core prisoner here ^
Imagine not speaking to another soul (other than the torturers) for 6 years and then you meet this mad, kindly priest.
Whom dug the tunnel in WRONG DIRECTION!!! 😑
They couldn't have picked a better actor for Faria!!!! Richard Harris is beyond perfect!!!!!!
The best!!
Sir Richard Harris is the best. Perfect for Albus Dumbledore & Abbe Faria.
Abbe Faria is a typical example of the archetype of the wise old man
A damned legend. RIP sir harris.
Edmond: 😭
Abbe: Shh, it will pass. Once I was like you, but I promise you it will pass. Now, may I stand on your shoulders?
Edmond: 🤨
This scene! One of the most powerful I've ever seen, and something I draw on when feeling down or unsympathetic to others❤
Imagine being in prison and dumbledore pops out of the floor.
Or Marcus Aurelius
Only to find out later that you are Superman’s real father 😅
Damn this movie was badass. I saw it again last night for the first time in years.

Patience dear friend. Things will get better. They always do
Hang in there buddy! Life is a constant of ups and downs. ❤
I'm sorry that happened to you, buddy. But that bad time will soon pass. God has a plan for you! 😊 I'll pray for you too!

Michael Gambon is a total legend in his own right, and Richard Harris would agree. What is this, amateur hour?
@@BootsAreYellow nah he’s not bruh
@@BootsAreYellow Gambon should be applauded for his effort, but it's not even Close.
Still, someone had to do it.
Harris is the greatest actor I've ever seen. Have you ever seen 'The Field' OP?

Your analysis is excellent. A fairly high level of literacy and numeracy was itself a fair guarantee of good employment
Frenchman learning English. Neat
Never read this book because I was never interested on stories of revenge but suddenly just interested on to know more deeply about Abbe Faria
"to my everlasting shame, I did"
Great movie
The only thing about this that bugs me is the reading and writing comment.
Edmond is a former sailor and 3in Command of a ship.
He would have known how to read and write and do mathematics to do that job.
I get the impression he was hired by nepotism, but yeah idk how they explain that in the novel but it makes it more interesting nonetheless
So neglect becomes our ally.
Imagine if you approached every encounter with “Forgive my intrusion, I was under the impression of…”
"but have you NAMED them yet?" hehe.

Count of Monte Cristo, he so famous there the Monte Cristo sandwich named after.
Dumbledore had a hard life or is it his grandfather? Lol
8:32 It's always meat.
Sound too low
What is this?
The Count of Monte Cristo
The Count of Monte Christo. A phenomenal movie, but the novel by Alexandre Dumas is even better
@@diogeneslantern18 or according to Heywood, Alexander Dumb-ass XD
This is was released in 2002, it was filmed in Malta 🇲🇹 & 🇮🇪 Ireland in Ardmore Studios plus locations in Wicklow, Kildare & Dublin
@@OsamaBinLooney shawshank....
this version of Monte Cristo is really weak in comparison to the original story
One thing that always got me about this scene is why they never figured out why these two shit dirt lol…
“Neglect becomes our Ally”
They simply don’t notice because they’re not paying that much attention to what’s in the buckets.
