To bad the Oscars were not going back in 1923, because if they were Lon Chaney would have won for Best Actor easy that year, no one else could have beaten him that year.
Such a great performance right here, every new actor should be required to watch this in acting school in order to learn how to act without speaking and how to do an epic make up job.
I find the similarity between The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Phantom of the Opera very interesting. Both stories took place in Paris, France and both Erik and Quasimodo were deformed men, shut away from the world, who fell madly in love with a woman. Haha, and both characters were played by Lon Chaney. :)
this movie was really good back then, not that its bad now but serioucly people? If you watched this a long time ago when there were no color films or extremely good actors don't you think you would have liked it? If you don't like it then don't watch it.
Aren't Esmeralda and the Quasimodo supposed to die in the end? Also she is supposed to lie in a graveyard and Quasimodo lies next to her, embracing her corpse. Or something.
I love the book. It's my favourite novel right now. I thought the way it ended was soul-crushing, and horrible, but beautiful. This story puts 'Wuthering Heights' to shame.
@KayaOfAyalia Oh that sounds marvelous, I got the creeps reading what you've just written. Sadly all I know about the novel, I got from wikipedia, thus I am not quite aware of its affection. But I would love to read it aswell. I might go to the library this week~.
I saw this at Princeton University with a great organist. And I was just at Notre Dame last spring with all the arbres de jeudi in bloom... nothing like the Seine and the ile de la Cite.
i cant believe some people hate movies just because they are black and white. i guess they are stupid and dont understand the movie undless some colourfull people blow stuff up and talk simple.
i agree with you that some black and white movies are gems...however i dont like this one. and because like all people of the 21st century, i like movies to be, believable, with characters that feel almost tangible... for which actors with SKILL are employed....this is a bunch of shit with people bouncing in a square... the music DOES NOTHING for it, and the frames are sequenced idiotically...im sorry to say, but its garbage...
@themaster0fclimax I have no reason why, but black and white movies always horrify me. I can watch a brand new ''scary'' film and not be scared, but when I watch an old black and white movie I always somehow get startled and panic.. it's a shame, I bet I could enjoy many of the old movies but it's like there's a force preventing me from doing that
@themaster0fclimax LIKE IN THIS MOVIE, QUASIMODO IS ACCUSED OF BEING A CROOK DUE TO HIS APPEARANCE! WE LEARN FROM THIS FILM THAT THE COWEL DOES NOT MAKE THE MONK! TODAY'S MOVIES ARE FAR WORSE THAN A MOVIE LIKE THIS!
Listen to Michael Tsarion on the youtube. he is the worlds premier conspiracy researcher/lecturer/author. Leo Zagami and Dr. Bill Deagle are highly informative as well.
Omg! How did you manage to upload the whole movie with YT's copywright and 10 min limit?! O.o Cool! Vox Lumiere did a fantastic new rendition of this! Even got to see it live in the front row and meet them XD
@tomhulcelover yeah - it was him, William Fox (of 20th Century), and Harry Warner (1 of the 4 Warner Bros) that successfully broke Thomas Edison's patients in Supreme Court to make films the way they wanted. It freed film pioneers who had miagrated to Cali to escape the patients .. to make the kind of films they wanted..which led to this gem.
