Advantages: Excellent film Disadvantages: Very very long
The count of Monte Cristo is a french film with subtitles. Now I don`t usually go in for subtitled films, but this one with Gerard Depardieu playing the lead role of Edmond Dantes, had me completely hooked.
I watched this film last christmas, and it was shown in about 7 parts running consecutively. Each part was about 90 minutes long, so it must have been good to keep me interested for that long.
The story begins on the wedding day of Edmond Dantes. He is all set to marry the love of his life, the beautiful Mercedes, when he is unexpectedly arrested for treason. Unable to prove his innocence, he is sentenced to life imprisonment on the well known Chateau D`if, which is on an island surrounded by raging seas.
Once inside he meets a priest by the name of Abbe Faria, who tells him of a treasure which he inherited and buried ...
Advantages: Great Performance, Value For money Disadvantages: None
If you?re still stuck at deciding Radion or NVIDIA, let me put an end to it, ive had both of them and would like to tell you NVIDIA beats Radion hollow!! The performance of Geforce FX 5200 is far better than the Radion 5800.
If you want an economical 3D GPU (graphics processor unit) alternative then don?t look further, this card actually has the ability to make your games come to life no matter how high the requirement of the game might get. The Geforce FX 5200 has a maximum memory limit of 128 MB DDR and will pull you into your PC for some fast paced 3D action!! All my games proved to be much speedier with the addition of this product. It has a maximum AGP of 8x and come with a power chord which enables you to view everything you can view on your PC on your TV. It also comes with DVD software and the new n view technology software ...
Advantages: Fantastic cast, amazing sets and costumes Disadvantages: Subtitled (not really a disadvantage, but something important to note)
When I first saw this on television, I was astounded by both the quality of the acting and of the sets and costumes and I have looked for it on DVD ever since. Having finally obtained it, I'm pleased to find that first appearances were not deceptive. Not only is the production lush, but the acting and story have a stong pull on my emotions.
The story, in short, and trying to avoid giving away any of the plot twists, follows Edmond Dantes trying to gain revenge on the people who had him imprisoned on the day of his engagement to Mercedes, the love of his then young life. Imprisoned in the Chateau D'If, he learns of a fabulous fortune, which, after his escape, he uses to have his vengence.
This adaptation focuses a lot more on his revenge than a lot of other adaptations, which focus more on his time in jail. While this reflects ...
