The Count Of Monte Cristo

A movie that came out in 2002 still remains etched in my memory. Watching  Daryl from walkibg dead locked up and being touctured along with the service in church today about faith all reminded me of The Count Of Monte Cristo. If you watched this movie you know it was based on faith  if you have not watched this movie you should. To give you some understanding of the movie, it was about these two men, both who were suppose  to be best friends since childhood. One of the guess family was rich, had all kind if power while the other guy was poor with no real family to talk of. The poor  guy did have a girlfriend and all three grew up together. Both men dream of working on a ship and becoming a captain, but the poor guy who had to, of course work harder and do well was appraised and given a promotion for his hard work. This in turn allowed the poor guy to be able to marry his girlfriend. Now they had to take this voyage, the poor guy in charge and the rich guy going along. There ended being some treason act going on and the poor guy being in charged had to take the blame. This is when we get into the good part to find out, as does the poor guy does,we learn that his friend set him ups. It was all about jealousy, yes the guy who seemed to have had everything was jealous of the poor guy. Jealous of his promotion, jealous of his girlfriend, jealous of his hard working carefree attitude. How dare this poor man be happy, when I who have everything is unhappy. That is what the rich boy attitude seemed to be as they hauled his friend off to jail, and he chastise him. This man who was locked up and innocent, prayed everyday to God to tske him out thst hell hole. This man prayed untill years past by, then he started to lose faith in his prayer and God. He become bitter and found a friend in  prison, who told him God still is in his life and hear his prayer, the young man said he cant believe this anymore, for all the years he prayed to no avail. Well, you have to watch the movie but its all based on faith, the outcome was about how God was working in his life when he did not realize. You have to have faith in all that you go through was the service given on Sunday and the moral of this story. Man will tend to put their trust in man who is only human and not God who will be by your side through the all. Now a remake needs to be done on this, or either bring that movie itself back.
