[edit] Synopsis Section

The detailed synopsis for this article appears to stop abruptly halfway through the film. Can someone with a detailed knowledge of the film please complete it? 87.112.78.11 13:23, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Good. I was afraid I was forgetting how the movie went, remembering much more than what was listed. JPG-GR 03:58, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Halfway? More like only a third. (I'm watching it now!) -- Earle Martin [^t/_c] 23:34, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Mondego and Dantès begin a sword fight after Dantès learns that Albert is actually his own, and Mondego cheats by pulling a gun and pointing it at Dantès. Just as he fires, Jacopo throws a knife as his hand, causing his aim to go off; it misses Dantès, but hits Mercédès on the shoulder.

Mondego and Dantès begin a sword fight after Dantès learns that Albert is actually his own. Mondego pulls a gun and points it at Mercédès, saying "I better put it (the bullet) where it will do the most damage". Just as he fires, Jacopo throws a knife at his hand, causing his aim to go off slightly, and just wounding Mercédès' shoulder.

since that's what happened. Mondego was aiming at Mercedes, not Dantes, as killing Mercedes would "do the most damage" to Dantes. - King Ivan 12:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I suggest changing Before he dies, Faria gives Dantès a piece of cloth that is a map of Monte Cristo which, through a series of clues, leads to the treasure that Faria had stolen and which led him to be imprisoned in Château d'If. Dantès is startled at this knowledge and Faria tells him, "I'm a priest, not a saint".

This should be changed as Faria did not steal it, his employer (after deserting the army) Count Sparda (I think thats his name) had a fabulous treasure and Napoleon wanted it, Sparda had hidden the treasure and told the priest where to find it. At least this how I understood it, the "I'm a priest not a saint" line is in relation to Faria lieing about whether or not he knew where it was (to Napoleon). It could be that Faria did steal but it seems like alot of treasure to be stealthily sneaking off with.--220.240.186.136 04:30, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
