[Stranac88]

Thanks for uploading this film. I enjoyed watching it. "The Stranger" remains the best book I've read.

[brrradley]

Thanks!!! Bravo

I read "The Stranger" in 1975 when I was studying Existentialism, but this is the first time I've seen a movie production. It is a very unusual novel, far better than anything Sartre ever wrote. It is a novel that stays with you forever, because it deals with some very abstruse concepts.

Thanks for posting this movie. Depressing, sad, but deep & important.

Come se quella grande ira mi avesse purgato dal male,liberato dalla speranza,davanti a quella notte carica di segni e di stelle,mi abbandonavo per la prima volta alla dolce indifferenza del mondo.Nel trovarlo così simile a me,finalmente così fraterno, ho sentito che ero felice, e che lo ero ancora.

A.Camus-Lo straniero

Thanks bro, that helps me a lot in my grade 12 English class.

[GaeilgeSpraoi]

Have any of ye read 'The Fall' also by Camus? I've just finished reading it for my French literature course. It's quite amazing! Although it would be impossible to make a film of it. I need to read 'The Plague' next! :)

[AzeriNY]

I'm glad you guys are enjoying it. Thank You for watching,

[luisunapata]

AzeriNY, I thank you for uploading this masterpiece....being on of my favorites from Camus.  Its depth of conviction...unwavering to zealots of human passion, who are misguided and believe there was no love for his mother and the mockery of the system to convict him of indifference is shameful....Thanks again for your diligence!!!.

[Peaceinthehorn]

Thanks for uploading. Do anybody knows if theirs a dvd you could buy?

[smallplotofland]

The one thing we should all take from Camus' novel, and this film ,is the price that Mersault pays for never playing society's game. How does he not play the game? By never lying even where it would make life easier for him or, in the case of his lack of emotion at mother's funeral, save his life. Mersault is neither heroic nor a particularly flawless character, yet I nevertheless respect his enduring committment to truth. Society feels uneasy as a result of Mersault's sensualism.

thanks so much for putting this up! read the book for school and have to write a paper now, movie made me understand it a lot better! thanks!

[hughc11123456789]

thank you for putting this up.

its nice to see a film of a good book after you have read it.

[lobotomija90]

Thank you very much for uploading this movie.It is one of my favourite books.Mearsault commited a murder,but he was accused for his personality. Do we all have to be same and to think the same?For me he was a hero caught in the prison of society,society that see things only in one way. The last pages of the book are great,and his speech too. What's moral anyway,can you define it? Not even a Bible can do it,although some think that whole life is written in it. Well life is more than some norms...

[primepm]

This world has no meaning, therefore it is meaningful.

At least, that's what I got.

[ermiford]

thank you very much for posting this movie.

[riquewong]

I really enjoyed the movie. I wanted to watch this movie in 1969 when It was released in Tokyo but it was already finished showing. I couldn't imagine that I could watch this in Youtube like this. I hope they we make DVD version. Thank you, AzeriNY!

[worldnative]

btw, a decent dostoevsky docu in my playlists you might fancy

[worldnative]

good adaptation! the courtroom scenes were slightly overcooked for me, from my reading the emphasis was his nihilistic redundandcy in defending himself, perhaps suicidal to a degree. top film, cheers!

[Fido1488]

Thanks for uploading this rare gem.

[verbusen]

Wow what a flick! I love stuff like this, thanks for posting it, merci.

[jackseneca]

Interesting movie...very deep indeed..So much of thinking went ...There's a complimenting this one in the Youtube. Try...Albert Camus - The Stranger, Part I (1of 4)

[dozbl]

thanksss man i appreciate it

[cpschachter]

Thank you for very much for posting this...since the early 80's I've been searching for the VHS/DVD!

[AzeriNY]

You are welcome, glad you liked it.

[beaverfromkiev]

thank you for uploading the movie!

[AzeriNY]

Hope you did well on your exam. Enjoy.

[nhjoel55]

Thanks so much....I am going to share this with my students!

[Niggi06]

The film disappointed me a lot... I thought it was better

Thank you so much for uploading it though

I have an oral exam tomorrow about that book...

[Zorica91]

A masterpiece book and totally deserved Nobel Award! Meursault is one of the weirdest characters ive ever met, it's really hard to anylize him, i don't really think we have the right to judge him. It's very complicated. The film is not bad either!

[nice1centurion]

thanks a lot!

[Harikrishnalove]

The episode's significance is in his forced introspection about his life — and its meaning — while contemplating his impending death by formal execution; only in formal trial and death does he acknowledge his mortality and responsibility for his own life.

[Harikrishnalove]

"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself — so like a brother-I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again. For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate."

[rude1987]

Exactly, so why does he do it in the film?

[prussell66]

Thank you! I've read the book numerous times and have always wanted to see this film. In light of the world we have created, with its senseless violence and wanton greed, Camus' questioning of life and its meaning still rings true. Try as we might, only death awaits, mon dieu.

[rude1987]

Yeah the crying in the end was a strange one as if he regrets what he did, the whole point was that he didn't regret for his actions...weird..

[rude1987]

Again cheers for that AzeriNY. I've always shared similar opinions on everything in life to Mearsault's but couldn't explain why, until I've read the book...it all came clear to me then. The film was great too

[AzeriNY]

Ye the film did not disappoint. I'm glad it stays true to the book. The only hiccup for me is the crying. Otherwise, it does justice to the novel.

[Jesterhead87]

thx for uploading this, I whatched the whole thing. mustve been lot of work!

[AzeriNY]

I have a 7 year old lap top. Lolll it took a while to upload.

[edonotokyo]

My thoughts exactly...atheistic existentialism does not state meaninglessness...yet Camus's character is oft repeating "it doesn't matter"...but in the end he realizes he was happy...and that life was always worth starting over...like his mother had....he hears the fog horn and imagines people living their lives and at that moment his nihilistic meaninglessness does matter...only its' too late for him...

[OscarCommie]

Love the book, and watching this film was a pleasure. I've wanted to see it for a very long time. Thank you very much for posting it.

[OscarCommie]

Aperently you know all about self-delusion. Keep your backward bullsh*t to yourself.

[cbashe]

thanks for posting this - it's the book verbatim, but very interesting all the same, lovely.

[AzeriNY]

Check out Happy Death. Camus wrote that book when he was in his twenties. It was published after his death. Happy Death laid the groundwork for the Stranger. You will see some similarities. Also, Plague is a very interesting novel. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

[ceopz]

absolutely awesome THANK YOU VERY MUCH for sharing this, i read the book yesterday and this is one of the best books i have ever read and. I archived all the movie in one playlist in my acount THANKS again :D

[AzeriNY]

You are welcome and I'm glad you liked the book. First time I read it was back in high school and to this day I thank my English teacher for introducing me to Albert Camus.

[ceopz]

yes im in high school and I thank my Albanian teacher for introducing me to Albert Camus.

I think to read more from him books, can u prefer me anyone?

[SMacConmidhe]

Read A Happy Death, Nuptials, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Plague, The Fall and The Rebel.

[Nomoredrama2000]

I don't recall Camus depicting the Mersault crying at the end of the book.

[FAMIGUGU]

The movie is closer form the novel, but like AzeriNY said, "I can't see Mersault cry", and personally I could enjoy more the movie without the sound-track, the silence is much important in Camus literature.

[AzeriNY]

Thank you for your feedback. I personally did not like seeing Mersault shed a tear in the final scene. He is such a strong, content character that I just can not see him cry.

[888zzz]

Thanks for posting. The movie was surprisingly true to the novel. Can only imagine a movie like this made today as an independent film. It would not be accepted in commercially hyped, artistically safe, profit driven Hollywood where concern over alienating revenue sources kills art. Just like the lawyer manipulated the courtroom so are we by a business media. The news is not the news but only distraction from the truth and real problems through sensationalism.

[888zzz]

People only know what theyre told especially when their emotions and convictions are constantly played with. Like Mersault we need to think beneath the surface. Things are not always what they appear to be. Mersault appears callous and apathetic, but his outburst at the priest at the end shows that he has great passion for life. The difference is that his passion is not misdirected. He cherishes life and this world not an afterlife.

[888zzz]

By aspiring to an afterlife we lose focus on this life and what we should be doing in the here and now and thereby miss out on what this world has to offer like the simple pleasures Mersault believed in. Mersault unlike most people in the book understood what is important. Robert C. Solomon has excellent lectures of The Stranger and The Fall and several other philosophical works on Youtube. His explanations cleared up a lot of questions Ive had about Camus works for a long time.
