it's been wonderful to re-watch this... I can't help but reflect on how we had many of these FoF movies when I was a kid. I had so many religious influences and turned out an atheist. There was no pressure either way, but I DO believe in treating everyone how I would like to be treated... when I can manage
"He died this morning" seems as though she's misleading her to believe he died from injuries resulting from saving Georgia, funny she didn't mention the unwarranted beating that came at the hands of the town people he donated so much money too assist >:|
i absolutly love this movie used to own it when i was a child have been searching for it for a long time definatly dont make movies like this anymore :(
I actually hate Bonnie's reaction at the funeral! If it was me I would have gotten a gun and killed everyone in the town who had a hand in either beating him, ruining his house or not even taking him to the fricken hospital!!!!!!!! Maybe he wouldn't have died if they would have token him to the hospital instead of leaving him on the table!!!!!!!!! IDIOTS!!!!!!!!
Movies like these are meant to teach kids something. Clearly most of us saw this as kids. I have the DVD and it has questions for kids on the back case. So lay off Bonnie please.
I would've loved to have Mr. Ribaldi as my singing coach, he's such a talented person and I was moved by his song. If I was Bonnie, I would've cried a lot at his funeral but I could tell she was upset, I would've been
I cried watching this movie, you fall in love with Mr. Ribaldi and seeing how beautiful and kind he is breaks my heart. Because so many people thought he was a monster when he was an amazing man. I love this movie so much, it was a masterpiece!
I didn't see or hear of this story or know of this movie until a couple of years ago. Since then I have watched it at least 7 or 8 times. I absolutely love it!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Serious tear-jerker! I remember when this came out...I was 8 years old and I loved it then, too. I haven't seen it for years and this brings back so many memories. :)
For a while I thought it was called "Bonnie and the Beast", cause my teacher in elementary school never said what it was really called and i caught the beauty and the beast reference. Still LOVED IT! But in 8th grade I found that my friend owned it and I was highly mistaken. Recently I found it at good will and own it. And Just today I found the soundtrack. It's a great edition to my collection of childhood memories.
@Augiegrl12 please tell me where i can find the soundtrack...i'm trying to find it for my dad and i...we are big fans of the music and would like to know. please email me at bjebv87@yahoo.com. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
Strangely enough, I found it at Goodwill. But I'll see if I can email you it in MP3s. I've always wanted to try that. I'll do it as soon as I can. I have a busy day today and I'm currently not at my computer w/ it on.
I'm a little annoyed that Porter seemed to get the special good-bye, while Bonnie didn't get so much as a "thank-you" at the end. She's the one who helped Ribaldi! What gives?
@elizabetheowynbelle everyone had a "gift" from him but Porter. Bonny was taught to sing. Gorgey was given the doll and April Child but he did have anything.
Mr. Ribaldi/Rigoletto/Joseph Paur is so gorgeous. He was even gorgeous to me when his face was disfigured. I definitely fell in love with him. I was in love with him when I was a little girl, and I couldn't understand why they kept calling him ugly, he was clearly beautiful. <3
oh my gosh i staied strong threw the whole movie then i heard the credits and i cried like a little baby because it's so beautiful i didn't want it to end.
i love this movie! its got such a beautiful story and such a wonderful meaning. i cried during the part where they beat Ribaldi and while they read from the book. i LOVE this move!
"I found something that might belong to you." "B-But..." "Porter." XD Did anyone notice that no one said Porter's name while in the house? That should've made them realize it was Ribaldi. lol I love this movie so much.
@iluvrimmel Truth, Porter;s character is adorable. I definitely crushed on him as a young teen. I have always been a sucker for a music man, though, so Ribaldi's character has my heart.
I have to agree with you (: Porter's way to young for me in the movie (I'm 16) but in real life he's probably like 30 now. And Ribaldi turns out to be such a sweetie ((:
i also think that the kids recgonized him but wern't sure because he looked diffrent, acted difrent twords Hans (was that Hans?), and was kissing Gabrelle when they know she loves Ribaldi even though he yelled at her a lot.
This is something I identify with because I am not pretty on the outside but people tell me that I have a good heart. It still makes me cry, no matter how much I watch it...and yes, it is a shame how they beat him and I noticed that they were superstitious and ignorant, but it had a great message of that we should not judge a book by its cover and look inside people and see the goodness in their hearts.
He didn't really died. Once curse was broken and look normal agian. he made town people really think he died so that he has accomplish his work of removing his curse that was put on him :) the curse was broken by Bonnie who knows she is the one that will stay with him
Wow... this is my first time watching this in many years. I just about lost it at the end. I'm a 20 year old guy and I'm about to cry my eyes out. :')
I think because she could see his outside beauty even when he was 'ugly'. Whereas people could only see his ugly and couldn't recognize him when he was 'beautiful'.
dont you miss the good old days when people could say when asked where they are from "somewhere far far away", or "a land far off" now its like, oh i from china. lol
They knew it was him i mean who else do you know in that town that talks with that accent and knew that mirror belonged to that kid. *raises hand* i total fell for him
Omg, I never thought this many people would know about this movie, I was very young when this movie came out, and its a childhoood favorite. It has a very strong moral value for everyone,,, and I really thought that Bonnie, Georgie, and Porter would know that it was him! Omg! Lol But thumbs up to whomever posted this movie!!!
Omg... I loves this ending :) I can't believe Bonnie, Porter, and Georgie didn't recognize him though... especially when he said Porters name when Porter started to stutter a little
This movie always reminds me to stray away from the darkness and head to the light. By the way Bonnie aka Ivey Lloyd also appears in the movie Wish Upon a Star.
@Lostangel703 He's just such an endearing character. The part of Mr. Ribaldi is so well written, and Mr. Paur played him so, so well. Better than anybody else ever could have.
it was really sad to see something like that would happen to someone all just over a miss understanding and im crying like the dickens....but on a side note i think that the door to the cemetary was really unique
