Contents 1 Biography 2 Appearance 3 Personality 4 Skills 5 Trivia Biography Andrea is first seen in prison somewhere in Paris, where he is freed by Baptistin and recruited by the Count as one of his underlings. Dantes will take on other roles not seen in the movie. Andrea Cavalcanti (also known as Benedetto) is a major antagonist in Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo. Sure, it's very long and intricate, but if you keep on your toes and keep all of the details in check, you will absolutely love it! You will meet other characters who play a role in Dantes' downfall and a sweet love story (involving characters that do not even exist in the movie!) will unfold. If you liked the plot twists and interesting characters in this movie, I must insist you try reading the book. The plot and list of characters were simplified to (in my opinion) make the movie easier to understand and to keep it from being 3+ hours long. The book is very much different from the movie. I did in fact enjoy the movie, but it disappointed me slightly. I never even knew there was a film version of it until I mentioned my love for the book to a friend who informed me of the recently released movie that she too liked. My interest in this movie was sparked because I actually read the book beforehand. It was written by French author Alexandre Dumas (père) in 1844. But guess what? It gets better! If you hadn't noticed yet (hopefully you have), this movie is based off of a famous book by Alexandre Dumas. The Count of Monte Cristo is an adventure novel featured on ABC s Once Upon a Time. Alexandre Dumas is a celebrated French author best known for his historical adventure novels, including The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo. *Eagled-eyed and/or obsessed readers of this blog might notice that my reading in 2018 is devoid of white authors writing in English.You've just rented or bought "The Count of Monte Cristo" and enjoyed it. At least Auguste got paid.įor a much more detailed account of Dumas and Maquet’s work together, check out new-to-me book blog The Pageaholic (or, take your pick of several scholarly books, articles, and even a 2010 movie on the subject, if you have the time!) And tell me, did you know that Dumas worked with collaborators? Does it change your perception of his work? Can you blame him for getting some help? As we’ve seen in previous read-alongs, it’s not that unusual for authors to get significant support while writing – it’s just usually from a wife. And let’s remember, Dumas didn’t have the internet to look up historical details, nor a word processor to store plot outlines. So, if August Maquet wrote some of the 1,200 pages here, or created the skeleton for Dumas to dress with flowery prose, does it really matter? I actually kind of love how it subverts the “lone genius writing in a darkened room” stereoype. I’ve always been a separate-the-art-from-the-artist kind of girl. Edmond Dants becomes the Count of Monte Cristo, Danglars the supercargo becomes Danglars the ultra-rich banker, etc. I do find it interesting that Google only lists Dumas as author (with Maquet relegated to the seventh “people also search for”) but Wikipedia lists “Alexandre Dumas in collaboration with Auguste Maquet”
