Swashbuckler Films

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but my dad watches this and the 1938 Robin Hood all the time.

did they really just let random people hang with Napoleon?

Easy answer but Pirates of the Carribean

Assassin creed

>Errol Flynn
Now there was a man who fucked.

James Mason is a pretty good second villain.

He was a VIP prisoner, probably had a lot of freedom

He was probably even allowed a razor blade to slice the garlic for his tomato sauce.

if anyone has read the book, does it do it justice? It's one of my favourites.

heh, this guy's name is Alexandre Dumbass

haven't read the book but, from what I've read about the book, it seems they dropped a lot of characters and plot for the film

The book is a 10/10 comfy read, but it's long and has lots of characters and story that can't really be adapted into 2 hours.

I couldn't tell if you were asking about the film or the movie, but I've read the unabridged book, and the movie obviously has to cut out a LOT of content, but it does a surprisingly good job of capturing the spirit and important parts of the plot. It's a pretty fun watch.

The biggest gripe I had with the film was the ending: the one in the book is way more realistic - he can't be with Mercedes anymore because of how much they both have changed over the years, the things he's done, etc. In the movie they give it the classic hollywood happy ending treatment, which is just bullshit in context of the story

No and they changed a lot of stuff about the ending, however it’s still a decent movie.

Is Albert actually Edmond’s son in the book?

Is Haydee featured in the movie? She was my favorite book character.

no - Albert is the son of Fernand in the book. It's actually an important theme in the book of him eventually finding redemption/honor despite the sins of his father.

nope, sorry

Albert and his bro taking on the nightlife in Rome was pure kino

Has anyone seen this?

I want to read the book, should I read the abridged or original?

That Spanish movie Aleriste something even does the rapier dagger style credit

I don't get it, why would you read anything but the original if you want to read the book? the abridged is for people who need for a class or something and don't want or don't have time for it

THIS IS IMPORTANT, read the Robin Buss translation from Penguin Classics - and unabridged version is waaay better (1200-1300 pages vs 600-800)

Other translations can be hell to get through, the Robin Buss one is way more faithful to the original french intentions

any other french romanticist era stories like this and les miserables where the protagonist suffers at the beginning, then makes his peace with it and takes revenge?

Errol Flynn movies are always fun

as far as I'm aware there hasn't been a really faithful film adaptation
this is a good movie, but pretty different from the book
likewise the older one (30's vintage I think) is a solid film but diverges pretty heavily from the source material

Book saga its based on is fucking rapier & dagger kino. I'm talking Master & Commander tier. They tried to cram the whole 6-7 book thing into one movie, God knows why.

Watched it recently. It's good, but as far as I can tell from wikipedia it crams like 4 books into one movie, so it just kind of jumps across the years. Shame, it feels rushed in that regard.

What’s the best Les Misérables movie to watch? There’s a few of them and apparently the 2019 one is about niggers in modern-day France.

The Prisoner of zenda, the second remake.

I've only watched the one with hugh jackman but the book is quite good and has more of a monte cristo vibe. I'm a sucker for the musical too.

The new one has nothing to do with it, I think its some black lives matter shit because blacks in france think they are american

if anyone here has seen the movie but not read the book, I assure you it is unimaginably kino.

It's just too long to really do it right. Hell, luigi vampa is basically his own movie.

It's comfy. Its downfall is the story which is all over the place.

Thank you!

This one bombed, but it's actually a pretty decent pirate movie.

I haven't actually seen The Musketeer but it looks based

I felt the same. I watched it a couple nights ago and It had some good moments, but the pacing felt off.

Same with this one. Pirates, directed by Roman Polanski.
They actually copy-pasted a lot of shit from it to Pirates of the Caribbean.

The dialogue is really, really bad

The 2019 movie has got nothing to do about the book. It's pretty good though i liked it. It's about a unit of cops trying their best to handle one of the poorest neighborhood in France, having violent methods because that's way things work there, and the escalade of violence. There are similar themes to La Haine, but the point of view is more turned toward the cops. It's not funny or comfy like La Haine, but it's nice.

Good songs, I’m listening while I code right now.

Kind of reminds me of that BR movie Elite Squad about the death squads that got created to purge the favelas when things got bad. Extremely based movie.

Don't know if this counts but this was one of my favourite movies as a kid.

Especially kino when the bad guy tricks the other guy into stabbing his own eyeballs out with a microscope

Damn. Having a "slave" fall in love with her master might be problematic, but women eat that shit up. Or do roasties identify more with Mercedes?

Agreeing with you lads. Absolute kino.

This leans more into adventure/pulp, but there IS a decent amount of swashbuckling thanks to the pirates. I'd allow it!

this book is so fucking bro

What did you mean by this? Boring?

Man In the Iron Mask
Captain Kidd

Yeah that was a great movie.
They're not paramilitary in that movie however, they're more like just another band of thugs but with a badge, dumbasses. The movie portrays a pretty bleak town ruled by arrangements between the police and local drug dealers, islamist weirdos, etc ...

not swashbuckling but adventure-kino
Barry Lyndon

He watched the Count of Monte Cristo: The XXX Parody. It's a gay thing.

it's great it's just too long, I think it's the longest I red and that one about germs and conquistadors
