I saw this when I was only 8 years old. I didn't understand it at all but it's interesting that I remember I didn't judge the characters, I found it simply intriguing.
I agree. I saw him in a movie that was wildly different than this called get real and you can't take your eyes off him. sadly I haven't seen him in anything since and get real is no longer shown on tv but he seems like a sweet kid.
Your right it's not a love story, but it's not exactly all about pedophilia, well at least that's not the main point. It's actually a tragiccomedy. The big difference in this story and most cases in pedophilia is that he DOES feel bad that he's taking away her childhood and he really does love her in a sick twisted way.
On second thought, it really just depends on your point of view.
I loved the book. I feel that both movies catered very well to the book. Sure, the 60's one was more safe, but the acting was incredible. I liked this one mostly for the narration and the costumes.

Jeremy Irons was the pefect actor to play HUmber-Humbert, this how I pictured myself the character. you are all right, his so voice is just bewitching !
To Playgroundxlove : almost all the soundtracks from the film were composed by Ennio Morricone and this amazing score is called "togetherness"
his voice is so soothing, but at the same time dark and mysterious. even though it seems like hes just speaking, he still gives the words so much emotion at the same time. its strange.
MrsKatty: It might be all you have to say but withdrawing is not all there is and
isn't an option for the Open minded. E.g. very sensibly the democratic Czech republic has recently equalised it's Age Of Consent to match it's Age Of Moral & Criminal Responsibilty - 14. Open room for further debate in most modern Democratic cultures. Meanwhile Non victim Adultophiles Rock. LOL
teenagers CAN have sex with adults. if they have reached a certain age, that is. over here, that age is 16. nothing wrong with that, if they are at good mental health and do not get manipulated. america's laws are, in this point, kinda silly and old-fashioned. but that's got nothing to do with adultophilia. it's just called "love". adultophilia is something entirely different. and that's all i've got to say. end. :)
if i remember right, the "real" lolita in the book was 12, maybe 13 years old. they changed her age in both movies; in the cubric one she's 16, in this one 15.
she was. he was with her from aug 47-aug48 when they travelled. she turned 13 on jan 1st 1948. he then settles in beardsley and she is 14. she begins her affair with clare quilty when she is 14.

This is idiocy. Guess nobody could ever get close enough to having balls in order to put someone of the right age in the role. Lolita is not supposed to a sexy voluptuous teen sireness.

i remember reading this book when i was in hs and dont remember what the teachers take on it was but i vaguely recall him saying this wasnt pedophilia but more of a love story bc he lost his first love....umm if you are in love with a 14 yr old girl when ur 40 pretty much makes u a pedophile.
do you mean the way the characters use dialogue..like the way humbert depicts mrs. hays in a deragatory light and the way dolores compliments/insults humbert throughout..? in other words the tremendous effects words can have?? i find it hard to believe it was only that and not at least to some degree commentary on sexual deviance/pedophilia???
The beauty of the novel is Nabokov's ability to take something as ugly as rape and pedophilia, and turn it into something beautiful and captivating. The defining characteristic of the novel is its narration (it has a unique style, poetic, sarcastic and manipulative). There will be some who try to analyze or interpret the novel as a commentary on pedophilia, rape, or sexual desire, but that wasn't Nabokov's intention. He wrote it as a book to be read -- not analyzed. Basically, it's a "good read"
The genius of Nabokov's writing is that he manages to change the theme of the novel from a paedophile memoir to a love story, as disturbing as that is. The movie is meerly taking Humbert's perspective, and in Humbert's perspective the novel is a love story. From an outsiders perspective though, the novel (and movie) is an account of a paedophiles obsession with a 12 year old girl. So the movie was only taking the love story element from the novel, and not Humbert's perverted intentions.
no there another name for it a pedo is some one who is sexualy atracted to pre pubesent boy-girls..there is another name for some one who is sexuley atracted to pubesnt boy-girls
Pedophilia suggests a sexual preference for -pre-pubescent girls or boys. A 14 year old girl is not prepubescent, and the proper term is Hebephilia. Even then, this term implies a person sexually prefers that age range.. this doesn't apply here as it wasn't 14 year old girls, it was ONE girl he preferred. It IS a love story, it just happens to feature a 14 year old tease.
Very true. The question it asks is "Can you condem him for falling in love?". Damn good book, but these two movies pale in comparison. Kubrick's version only getting the lead because it came first.
darks: In the book Humbert with his roving eye did refer to several 'Lolitas' through the years that strongly appealed to him - not just Dolores who he finally related to.
Wow. I completely disagree. The original actress was prettier (in the face) and a much better actress and acted more like a teenager. This one is trying too hard.
Because it's basically agreeing that Jeremy Irons looks hot. I'm not homophobic but i am straight and after i clicked thumbs up i felt kinda sick... lol
As a past Adultophile/NON-victim (me 13 she 29), and with respect to true victims. Let's cut the crap, as the ancient priest said to Woody Allen In "Love & Death" 1973, b4 the 19Hate-ies - ongoing Anglo/US-UK/PC-cops took over psycho-sexual control.
"My boy, the secret of a long life is to have a 12 year old blonde in bed. No, no, better still - TWO 12 year old blondes !!"
hell,yes. i always loved him as an actor...but then one night i had an erotically charged dream of him wearing a catholic priests robe...since then i just fell hopelessly in love and kept looking for him, long after i woke up and went to work...........
lolita was the perfect target for pedos, she came from a one-parent family, her mother was self-obsessed & promiscuous, absent father, she was abused by several older men which made her seem "precocious". Nabokov chose this scenario precisely
4 months later.... she died of Tiphus... LOL Obviously it wasn't intended to be funny I just thought it was funny with the timing of when it was said.
whether he loved her or not is open to debate, but in the book he's often quite bitchy about lolita especially as she ages. In one part he plans to get her pregnant so that he can abuse their daughter... romantic huh? Lol. He's a typical pedo.
This love obviously knows some bounds, he didn't love her enough to wait until she was 18. He "loves" her because she's pubescent basically which isn't real love but a sexual thing. He does't care about her mind or personality. She is a sexual object to him and he admits as much, he concealed her mother's death from her to have sex with her, when she started to loose her nymphette charm he planned to get her pregnant and molest their little girl. These are not acts of love.
exactly, he was a poet no doubt, & no one knows the real cause of his behavior... but he was a typical pedophile, they're known to worship girls of their ideal age & then discard them when they're too "old". I think he loved the idea of lolita, not lolita as a person.
He says so in the book. That he cannot wait too long for her, because soon enough she will be a college girl, "the worst of thing" I think he mentions.
He explains in just before this clip started that they are only 14.... Not 18.
He's explaining that if this hadn't happened to him that he wouldn't be a pedophile. "I kept looking for her.... Long after I left my own childhood."
Because he and the girl didn't consummate their relationship (explained in the book) he is always looking for the young girl he fell in love with in other girls despite growing older himself.
Thanks for explaining. I doubt I'd ever read the book, and the movie makes one think maybe they made love when they were both young before she died. They fell in love, and he longed to consumate the relationship.
It doesn't matter what you think she looks like. Her character is 14 and he is 14. He is explaining that because of his unfulfilled relationship with her he is now a pedophile because he's trying to find what he saw in her in other girls that are her age.
For some reason I imagined Charlotte a bit more... I don't know... frumpy and pushy. But I think I like the way the actress played her. A new take for me. :) I'm about in the middle of the book right now and I have to say I'm finding it a lovely summer read. A bit controversial but that's just what my mother doesn't want...
ah, i've seen the older original version of this movie and thought it was very beatiful; along with the book even though it was a sketchy topic i was more then happy to read about it, saying as it's not something you would truly find writen about then...now-a-days it's a totally different story though, but never writen quite as lovely as Nabakov <3
I saw this when I was only 8 years old. I didn't understand it at all but it's interesting that I remember I didn't judge the characters, I found it simply intriguing.

The defining characteristic of the novel is its narration (it has a unique style, poetic, sarcastic and manipulative).

Do you even know the true meaning behind the word Lolita? My guess is you think its a japanese fashion thing.

Lolita is a nickname for Dolores, meaning sorrows.

As a past Adultophile/NON-victim (me 13 she 29), and with respect to true victims. Let's cut the crap, as the ancient priest said to Woody Allen In "Love & Death" 1973, b4 the 19Hate-ies - ongoing Anglo/US-UK/PC-cops took over psycho-sexual control.

It's solid story telling with extraordinarily beautiful music by Mr. Morricone.

wisesatyr72 2 years ago 2
lolita was the perfect target for pedos, she came from a one-parent family, her mother was self-obsessed & promiscuous, absent father, she was abused by several older men which made her seem "precocious". Nabokov chose this scenario precisely

You know, I'm not for rape or anything. But you really can't control love. Love knows no bounds.

many people do immorral things in the name of love, I would just say no-self-control knows no bounds. Love does no such things.
kittypu2f 2 years ago 2
whether he loved her or not is open to debate, but in the book he's often quite bitchy about lolita especially as she ages. In one part he plans to get her pregnant so that he can abuse their daughter... romantic huh? Lol. He's a typical pedo.
nenado12 2 years ago 2
This love obviously knows some bounds, he didn't love her enough to wait until she was 18. He "loves" her because she's pubescent basically which isn't real love but a sexual thing. He does't care about her mind or personality. She is a sexual object to him and he admits as much, he concealed her mother's death from her to have sex with her, when she started to loose her nymphette charm he planned to get her pregnant and molest their little girl. These are not acts of love.

exactly, he was a poet no doubt, & no one knows the real cause of his behavior... but he was a typical pedophile, they're known to worship girls of their ideal age & then discard them when they're too "old". I think he loved the idea of lolita, not lolita as a person.
nenado12 2 years ago 4
He says so in the book. That he cannot wait too long for her, because soon enough she will be a college girl, "the worst of thing" I think he mentions.
ParkLeeNa 2 years ago
You dont make much sense.
So if 2 18 year olds love each other alot
then after that he wants to do her.... does that mean he doesnt love her?
Try to think before you talk okay

What are you talking about? I'm not talking about two 18 year olds, I'm talking about a middle aged guy and a 12 year old kid.
dhgjas 2 years ago 2
Yeah i know, but two 18 year olds would still want sex
as this guy still want sex its all human nature
So you can say the 18 year old just wants sex with the other 18 year old only.
Sex is part of love
I do agree is wierd and kinda sick but
you cant say when you have sex with someone doesnt mean you are using them
fuckpennyfinders 2 years ago
He explains in just before this clip started that they are only 14.... Not 18.
He's explaining that if this hadn't happened to him that he wouldn't be a pedophile. "I kept looking for her.... Long after I left my own childhood."
Because he and the girl didn't consummate their relationship (explained in the book) he is always looking for the young girl he fell in love with in other girls despite growing older himself.
AnarchyIncProduction 2 years ago 8
Thanks for explaining. I doubt I'd ever read the book, and the movie makes one think maybe they made love when they were both young before she died. They fell in love, and he longed to consumate the relationship.
2degucitas 2 years ago
no some people are argueing that he is always a pedo...but i said no he cant be, pedos like younger girls, but he likes girls that still looks over 11
that girl looks 18
fuckpennyfinders 2 years ago
It doesn't matter what you think she looks like. Her character is 14 and he is 14. He is explaining that because of his unfulfilled relationship with her he is now a pedophile because he's trying to find what he saw in her in other girls that are her age.

For some reason I imagined Charlotte a bit more... I don't know... frumpy and pushy. But I think I like the way the actress played her. A new take for me. :) I'm about in the middle of the book right now and I have to say I'm finding it a lovely summer read. A bit controversial but that's just what my mother doesn't want...

loll thats exactly my viewpoint. Id expected her more chunky and living in her own perfect bubble.
I'm also halfway through the book but wondered how humbert would be portrayed in the film and i must say he does the description justice

ah, i've seen the older original version of this movie and thought it was very beatiful; along with the book even though it was a sketchy topic i was more then happy to read about it, saying as it's not something you would truly find writen about then...now-a-days it's a totally different story though, but never writen quite as lovely as Nabakov <3
