Reviews
The Count of Monte Cristo (1934)
Bad Version
Bad version. Edmond is a rebel, he was imprisoned unfairly for 13 years when he escapes and starts his revenge. He is not a man who fights in institutions, he rebels against the whole French legal-political system to start his revenge.
As Ivan Karamazov rejects God, Edmond rejects institutions that would be corrupt and allow the suffering of an innocent person. His hatred has corrupted him and the film forgets about it. The film does not show that man corrupted by hatred initiating his revenge.
The ending was stupid.
War & Peace (2016)
The Bondarchuk version is better
There is little philosophy in it, no Russian spirit. Some simplified Tolstoyan thoughts escape from the lips of the heroes. It was important for the filmmakers to show who was wooing whom and with whom they slept. The deep work is reduced to the level of an average melodrama.
The Illusionist (2006)
Idiotic and unrealistic romanticism
The film is inspired by the 1889 mayerling incident.
In real life the baroness Mary Vetsera loved Prince Rudolf, in the film Duchess Sophie loves the magician Eisenheim and does not want to marry Prince Leopold.
In real life in the 19th century, a noblewoman would never trade a prince for a commoner .
The screenwriters know nothing about human psychology.
