Factual error: The imprisoned Count is crawling through a tunnel with his neighbour prisoner leading the way. His neighbour prisoner has a lit candle showing the way, but when he breathes out, the candle goes out but the 'light' remains. You can clearly see smoke rising from the candle before the scene cuts away. (00:43:25)
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Kevin Reynolds
Starring: Guy Pearce, Richard Harris, Jim Caviezel, James Frain
Edmond (James Caviezel) kills Fernand (Guy Pearce). Mercedes is shot but survives. Albert is Edmond's son, not Fernand's son. Edmond gets back together with Mercedes, buys Chateau d'If and thanks the priest for the final and most valuable lesson.

Albert Mondego: Who are you, and why are you doing this?
Luigi: We are bad men, and for the money.
Trivia: Dagmara Dominczyk plays Henry Cavill's mother in the film, even though in real life she's only seven years his senior.
Question: In the prison, the priest has several books, a chair, table, etc. Where did he get these things? I assume he wasn't given them, as the prisoners are expected to live with absolutely no creature comforts. He could have made the chair and table, but out of what? He wouldn't have been given any materials. How would he make something out of nothing?

Answer: Priests, as men of God, tend to be considered differently from others - it's reasonable to think that the guards would have allowed him a few privileges denied the other prisoners.
