Movie? That happens in the original book.
- oniony 7mo agoDoes it not also happen in the movie?
- rat9988 7mo agoYou usually cite the original story
- encrypted_bird 7mo agoYou also usually cite what you know. Maybe OP has not read the book.
- thaumasiotes 7mo agoWell, I've read a translation of the book. If that scene was present, it made no impression. It's not very comedic in the book. You can see for yourself: it is the entirety of chapter 47, here: https://gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1257/pg1257-images.html#chap47 https://gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1257/pg1257-images.html#cha... . (Interestingly, I would have said that the translation I read came from Project Gutenberg, but it wasn't the one I just linked and no other is currently available there. Does Project Gutenberg take down existing versions of out-of-copyright books sometimes??)
- nottorp 7mo agoIf the book is out of copyright is the translation also out of copyright? Edit: apparently not. So Gutenberg is hosting whatever they legally can, which is older translations.
- thaumasiotes 7mo agoThere are multiple older translations, but Project Gutenberg only has one at the moment. I'm conjecturing that they used to have a different one (also out of copyright; that's their whole thing), but have taken it down for unclear reasons. It's also possible that I found a free translation of The Three Musketeers somewhere else, or that I read the same version PG has now and have misidentified it as being different.
- encrypted_bird 7mo agoAh, okie dokes.
