And my classmates were like-"Montresor is so handsome!"

"I will not die of a cough" "HAHA True, true" The writing in this story is actually so good.

The acting in this is shockingly good

"The cough is a mere nothing. It will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough." -Fortunato, circa Feb 11 2021

15:59 Am I the only one who feels terrified that Montresor screamed with Fortunato to demonstrate that no one could hear him? Whoever played Montresor is a good actor.

I always loved how Montresor was basically talking shit the whole way.

This story by Edgar Allen Poe is hands down the one that horrified me the most. The other stories shared how horrible or how maddening the situation is….but this one is about a man who just….smiles…and traps another man…all while chit chatting and being pleasant about the other man’s cruel fate

PLEASE give a raise to whoever made the captions

My class LOVED this. Thank you!!! It was so cool to see how it built their confidence in the text because they knew exactly what was going on after we took a deep dive analysis in the story this week.

Reading the story, I have always felt Montresor did what he could to save Fortunato by giving him opportunities to go back but it was at the end, Fortunato´s own vanity and pride, which Montresor hated, that got him killed. Even at the end when Montresor yells ''Fortunato!!'' one last time before the eerie bells sound.

Absolutely, hands-down the BEST version I've ever watched! I've been reading Poe for about 40 years, and have sought-out 'filmed' versions of my favourite tales... The Narration & the acting is top-notch here, an utter joy to savour again and again! Thank you!

One thing I love about Montresor’s mock screams at 15:59 is they go from mockingly scared screams to shrieks of pure rage. It’s a nice touch

This has always been my favorite story by poe. It reall appeals to the fear of being buried alive along with the deepee meaning of human nature and how when composed, cold, and calculating could be more scary than a simple monster trying to reach out of the depths and kill us all. The time alone, trapped, helpless, bound, and with only a source of light till it goes out might be one of the worst ways to go.... Starving, thirsty, exposed to the elements as you could be inside that wall, the struggle of each breath as it gets harder and harder to breath. Truly terrifying

There's something uniquely sad about this story, with just how long and torturous the murder is and how completely disproportionate the "retribution," if it even is that, is. How pathetically the drunk fool clings to the hope of Amontillado, that it's all going to be okay, that he'll get his treat and see his wife again and just how... *cruel* the whole thing is.

I came here for a modern lit assignment but left with a new ✨movie crush✨ No but seriously, this was AMAZING

He really compares his petty revenge over an insult to fighting in a war 💀

While your rendition of The Raven is my personal favourite, I couldn't help but be moved by the performances in this film. Especially Fortunato's. Montresor's take was powerful and passionate, but Fortunato inspired such humanity for his predicament. His disbelief, his tearing up, his fearful, anguished looks, his fatal hopes beyond all hopes reflected in his eyes, his desperate bargaining in a last bid for his life, and his resignation in his final moments brought his character to life - and in such a way! I didn't feel such depth of sympathy for him by reading the story alone, but I do now after watching this stellar performance. Great job keeping Poe's legacy alive; I look forward to enjoying more of your works. Cheers.

I gotta say the acting was on point, I’m a student and my teacher, The amazing person she is, Played this movie, we were to go between the text and this and it was amazing, Good job

I interpret that it is Furtonatos greed that got him killed. His facial expression over the excitement over the thought of the Amontillado. His compulsion of the quest for it as it has more value to him than anything else, more than his own life. It compulses Montresor, as he no longer see Fortunato as a human but a monster of greed. That got Fortunati to face his end.

Only on one other occasion have I had such empathy for a character in film.: Peter Graham in Hereditary. His mother's nightmare scene from the movie comes to mind. A dreadful mixture of helplessness, sadness, and betrayal. I am way, waaaay into horror and dark things, and this film was genuinely hard to watch. I felt so helpless, no matter which character's shoes I put myself in. The victim will surely die, and the killer descends from man to monster. Well done.

The movie stays very true to the story. Very interesting to watch! It helps me understand the story in more depth too.

Let's talk about how good the acting is 👏🏽

The fact that he actually emphasized on the words "Long life" in the sentence "And I to your long life" makes it so ironic.

Damn he could just not be friends with him anymore.

This story always stuck with me but I never fully understood it until watching this. It was fantastically done. Wow.

Always my favorite work by Mr Poe

ngl montresor is kinda fine

Saw this in my literature class, and it was not bad. I am very interested with Edgar Allan Poe's horrifying stories, aside from the rest of the class who were kinda down bad for the main protagonist ☠

Man! I have been a fan of Poe for 50 years and these guys bring Pie to life in a movie quality production with excellent acting. Bravo!!

Imagine what the son is thinking the whole time while his father is admitting to being both a murderer and a psychopath

This short film was super helpful and so interesting. Thank you for this!

>perceives a possibly imagined slight against his honor as an act deserving of divine punishment >Mercilessly carries out a most ingenious and torturous plan >Mocks his victim throughout Oh my god he's Literally Me. Really though, phenomenal work on this, especially Montresor: a charasmatic, dashing young man who is able to express so much through his facial expressions, especially his smile and his eyes. They tell half the story on their own (almost literally!) There are some really fun things to note about this story. Poe did such a wonderful job with duality in this piece, even if it's not regarded as a central theme. Even in the title itself: The Cask of Amontillado. A cask is a barrel of wine, but it can also be a reference to a casket, and they are one and the same for Fortunato. The trowel too: Masonry was the cause of Fortunato's rise, and masonry would be his end. He is a bumbling fool: in the story he literally wears jesters' clothing, and his comment about not being able to distinguish amontillado from sherry contradicts his view of himself as an aficionado as amontillado is, in fact sherry. In the story he also drinks a glass of De Grave in a single gulp, which is a rather expensive wine. Finally, he himself is the one who stumbles into the niche, after Montresor tells him the amontillado is inside. While many people view Montresor as thinking of himself as the boot stepping on the snake Fortunato, I cannot believe that Montresor would view himself as anything other than the snake who was stepped upon Fortunato's rise to success, and is now biting him in the heel and refusing to let go in return: no one shall provoke him with impunity. When Montresor mocks Fortunato, the actor's screams perfectly embody simultaneously how he is mocking Fortunato; and how he is screaming out his own hatred towards Fortunato; and he, the avenger, is making himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong, as they are now one and the same, feeling the same despair. Fortunato screams out "For the love of God, Montresor!" in a final plead, and Montresor screams it back: For the love of God! For the love of holy, divine, and just punishment in His name. And Montresor is his God now, and he is doing this out of love for himself. Despite all of this, Montresor actually grants one more mercy in the story, throwing in a torch before sealing Fortunato in. This could be to help asphyxiate him, or alternatively one last glimpse of the world before he is plunged into eternal darkness, the one Montresor found himself in.

Fun fact: in order to play his role as Fortunato, Frank Tirio Jr. actually let himself be buried alive and will not come out for 50 years? THAT’S dedication

I'm so thankful for this video! I have a hard time comprehending literature from this era so I really appreciate having a visual composition of the words I was reading.

Why is the man chaining him up so fine..

The newest and best iteration of the story by Edger! I remember hearing this story while I was still in middle school. I may have hated the school, but I have the English class to thank for learning about this great story.

I show this video to my students every year after we finish reading The Cask of Amontillado. Great short film.

I wish I knew this channel existed before because this film was amazing, the cinematography, acting, soundtrack, everything about this is amazing and very accurate especially some of the lines, I look forward to all new projects and I'm now going to watch your other films because this was absolutely phenomenal.

My favorite Edgar Allen Poe story.

I was never one into old stories made by someone like Edgar Allen Poe but this peaked my interest 1 million percent

Getting some crazy Bruce Campbell vibes off of David here... Love it!

the cask of amontillado is one of my favorites☺️

watch this in school, really good story and acting

I love this story and I love these actors sm they portray the characters so well

I'm Indonesian. I'm so happy to watch this. It's really help me for doing my home work. Great job!

this was amazing, from the acting to the film. it made me more understand the story of "The cask of amontillado". Thank you so much. keep up the good work!!!

I love Montresor’s laugh ❤️

My 9th grade students read the story today and then watched this adaptation, they really loved it! Great work to everyone involved! -Sincerely, a Poe loving English Teacher

Having read this story in the 8th grade, I so wish that this movie was available to my classmates and myself. There are many things that you have captured on. I could over and over again, and never get tired. One thing that is unresolved me is that exact gesture that Fortunato makes to suggest that he is a Mason. Wish there could be something done with the name "Montressor." So well done.

I watch this at school on Edgar Allen poe’s Birthday! This was so good tbh. My class was Shocked on how good this was 😂❤

"An excellent joke indeed." And an excellent production, indeed. Kudos all around, and the actors get an encore. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo. 👨‍🦱👨‍🦱🙆🙆🏌‍♂🏌‍♂👍👍👍👍👍👍

Watched this movie for fun cuz I was bored, didn't regret, awesome movie.

Wow this really acted well but i must admit i really happy how clear & concise the quality of video is.

This Flower Duet is powerfully flowing in truthful artistry . Cheers, right hear, around the next corner. Mysteries ❤

The acting in this short film didn't have to be this good. Kudos to the actors! Oh and because of short movie, I understood the story better since English isn't my first language. Thank you so much.

It was so incredible how Montresor screamed with Fortunado to show him no one will hear him scream

Excellent work, I love watching this every once and a while.

broo we watched this in class and Montresor had me curling my toes

So well done, thank you for the effort and time you took to make this!

Thank you for this! Extremely well done! Helped visualize what I was reading so much!

My teacher played this in class when I was a freshman and I loved it! I couldn't find it until now, my junior year, and i am over the moon excited to have found it again!

i remember watching this in my ELA class, i loved it because it was a short day and cuz i never seen the animation/ casting of Amontillado, really amazing.

This some fine acting! Good job!

bro montresor is so fine though. at first when i read it i was kind of attracted but seeing it in motion really did it for me 😍😍😍

This is perfect! I am a fan of Poe’s work. Scarier is the game The Dark Eye, which was based on Poe’s works. This was one of them. And Fortunado got what he deserved. There is a story I would love to see in a movie. I forget the name, but this man was supposed to marry his cousin with whom he did not like. The end is her teeth falling out of the box on his desk…perfect! The game version had him just walk into a room talking nonsense since he was so plastered. One by one he placed the bricks, building a wall and at the end, dropped a torch inside and placed the last brick.

This is my Faborite of Poe's works. Thanks for putting this together!

this is so good, this is the best one ive watched

Wow! A masterpiece based on the story!

this is really close to how i pictured it. awesome!

The story from the book and from this video was connected they are the same Thank you very much for this now I understand the story it was to mysterious in the first place when you read the story by yourself and try to solve it but watching this video makes it more smooth and clear.

bro really took it seriously

I just found your channel. It's epic. Well done and thank you!

this is truly great , I really enjoy edgar allan poe's work and this was a very good representation

Another fantastic take.

The only thing wrong with this version is that they present Fortunato as having a skill he doesn't really possess in the story. However.. one could flip it in that Fortunato, boar he is presented to be in this version, most likely was going to try to cheat Montressor out of the pipe by claiming it not to be Amontillado. Still, minus that debatable "hiccup", this is superbly acted. Poe would have approved!!

Excellent. This deserves many more views.

High production value, good work guyss

Bro I saw this in my English class. I love this so much! Love the scream-off they have.

Thankyou for MAKING A VIDEO FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING!! The story was HARD TO UNDERSTAND!! Especially for us visual learners!! Thankyou :)

a fantastic adaptation!

Tha acting is really good! Great work!

Love the Red Death reference.

Even though the acting is somewhat campy there is a serious eerie feeling to it all i love it

14:25 I’m shook. Best music ever. The fact that Montressor was sad when it ended

This is great quality. Way to go. Liked

8:13 small note, in the original story he actually breaks the neck of the bottle, not pop the cork. Its a small thing but it is to be noted. "Here I knocked off the neck of a bottle which I drew from a long row of its fellows that lay upon the mould. 'Drink,' I said, presenting him the wine"

Know that on the night of the Gala Event I shall raise my glass and whisper, Fortunato

watched this in class two weeks ago, holy I am so impressed, truly underrated, only 50k views?! I didn't expect this much detail, great job (:

The guy who's playing Montresor (the guy who kills) is so hot lol. So much more attractive than the guy I imagined when I was reading the story

Thank you for this!

this is sick dawg

Excellent work!!

Fortunato: u do not comprehend Montressor: no I do not. So dead pan.

Excellent!

i wasnt at class when they watched this and we’re doing an essay now, i turn it on and people are saying “oh the murderer is hot” like.. 😨

This is a good review for my quiz tomorrow

I have a final exam tomorrow which is going to have questions on the text that we read of this story but I remembered being really confused as to what was going on, so I searched up people reading the story to help me understand it better and then I saw this! Watching this was like watching an episode of a tv show! Very intriguing and kept my attention! Thank you for this! I’ll be able to visualize what’s happening in the story as I reread it now! 💜💜💜

Very well done! Bravissimo! But I do demand more!

This is means so much me am glad my english teacher played this when we were done reading the story.
