@MoRoJ611 The Name Of The Hymn Is "Confitor" It Means "I Confess" Here's The Whole Prayer: I Confess To Almighty God, To You My Brothers And Sisters, In What I Have Done And What I Have Failed To Do, And I Ask The Blessed Mary Ever Virgin, All The Angels And Saints, And To You My Brothers And Sisters, To Pray For Me To The Lord Our God Amen. Hope That Helped!!!
This is the ultimate song of the Knight Templar--a character who believes he or she is God's advocate and kills in His name. I'm a Christian, but I find those characters to be fascinating.
@TLSoulDude The odd thing is that the Templar Order was initiated to protect Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land from bandits in the early 12th Century, and then two centuries later they were accused of all sorts of heinous crimes. And the Templars aren't the only ones who did it. There were plenty of others, Christians and non-Christians, who killed and still kill in the name of God.
In my opinion, it's hard for other disney soundtracks to compete with this masterpiece <3 the depth in the lyrics and the mystery in the instrumentation. just makes me get the chills :)
I am an aithiest, but I don't care what religion others follow. That is for them to decide. Although I do agree that this movie was made to be a statment against the political powers of the church and religious hypocrisy, there is no need to compare the acts of few to the whole. I, of all people, should understand how unfair that is.
Hugo wanted to show everyone was human. Everyone, even the church would fall to lustful desires and go mad with power. Greed, lust, envy, pride, you name it. Not a single soul is safe from this, regardless of whether they are rich, poor, Religious, or scientist.
This is just a great song, it makes me want to bone the nearest gypsy (no not really, but its passionate and dark)!
The only part of it that makes me want to not do anything stupid, well Frollo is singing it that's why! It makes me want to pay attention to the lyrics all the more, and makes me want to be a better person.
Although the sin potentual is there for me to do, I just don't do it.
@trewerd don't even. The ending in the book is much worse. All three of them die, Phoebus dumps esmeralda for some broad, plus right after esmeralda is reunited with her birth mother after sixteen years separate, they are both killed by the mob.
I love how after Quazimodo sings about heaven's light he rings the bells and it is the same tune as hell fire but it is so light and happy and then frollo sings and it becomes really dark and heavy. the music in this movie is so powerful.
That chord at 4:34 is just... ooh. Shivers every single time. its why i listen to it so much. I love this movie. I'm only 13 and i get all the meanings in here lol. This is when Disney had the balls to do stuff. :D
i'm 19 and that part made me cry like i was 7 years old again. Disney was very beautiful and sensitively epic back then. I'm glad to be born in the 90's
@Fiddlewheel They seem silly now, but I remember as a kid they were the only reason I watched this movie. My lil brothers watch this movie with me and laugh at the Gargoyles and enjoy the movie as much as I do. I just saying it is Disney, but yes the Gargoyles are quite annoying.
Yeah, your right about that part, as a kid you have a easier outlook on things like this, and it is an rarity for me to even care about annoying characters, but I didn't really care for them as a kid neither, I felt they were in the way.
A novel by Victor Hugo + beauty of '90s Disney animation + a score by Alan Menken = EPICNESS!
Seriously, they need to bring back movies like this. I would love to see the creative team (directors, animators, Alan Menken, etc) that made this movie reunite to adapt other great works. Imagine what they could do with "The Phantom of the Opera" or Victor Hugo's other great drama of disfigurement, "The Man Who Laughs" if they were allowed to be as brave and daring as they were with "Hunchback"!
dammit why does fucking justin bieber and HSM get all the thumbs up while classics like this are bieing left to...well rot! this was the movie that proved at one point that disney had brass balls bigger then even don bluth during the 80's!
@AnnaKin nah its not underated at all, considered by most to be the best of the goldne years of diney animated films, thing that brings it down is that its a little too adult for a kids film, or even a animated one at that.
Y'know, I'm trying to feel sympathetic to Frollo an' all, but he really could have went a better way about it. I'm pretty sure setting France on fire was a weeeeee bit overkill.
@bobfari I confess to God Almighty, To the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin, To the Blessed Archangel Michael, to the Holy Apostles, to all the Saints. you weren't that far off.
If you haven't already, check out my extended bell sequence of this song (it's the only video I've got posted). Heaven's Light and the Hunchback deserves more recognition!
If only the Jungle Book was like that. Still have funny characters, but make the story a bit dark (not to dark for the kids). the Jungle Book should have been that like in the Lion King (dark, but not too dark).
It's amazing when you contrast these two songs--Quasi singing about pure love and the peace it brings to him, and Frollo singing about the sickest lust and how it drives him to the worst evils.
If anyone's interested, I wanted to put the bell sequence Quasi plays at the end of Heaven's Light as my ringtone so managed to loop it convincingly (a harder job than I imagined) and I've posted it here on YT: watch?v=mEoQ7BXzPh0
QUASI's voice was greatness....i was with him on the Heaven's light....then, i love the song Hellfire greatness...that man was lusting after Esmerelda....smh lol...he never got none in his life
@matrixinterface its a little known fact that one of Frollo's decendants ordered the bread from the bakery that started the Great Fire Of London, and provided Nero with the fiddle while Rome burned :D
@charlottevictorias It's one of my favourite parts in the entire movie. While people may overlook them, everytime I watch this film or am reminded of it, it's that bell segment that I remember the most. For me, that IS the movie.
The young innocent man sees a lovely woman as a heavenly delight, but the old pious man sees an attractive woman as a cunning siren witch who uses his own libido to trick him into the furnace of Hell.
I'm sure Frollo wishes he could be like Quasimodo and just be happy not worrying about Christian morals... But he simply cannot lose his knowledge of sin, so is cursed to endure the torture of sexual repression and hypocritical guilt. No amount of religion can save him from that.
@TheShadowOfMars the ammount of religion required to save him from that sounds like it should be -1, hes repressing his sexuality and feeling guilty about it because the religion he follows tells him he should
@camptowngirl only in the disney version. In the actual novel (which is SO much more pessimistic about human kind), he's a complete anti hero and tragic villian, given he willingly chose (as archdeacon, he wasn't some judge) to adopt and raise Quasimodo as his son, hated the idea of Esmeralda dying and wasn't just a sadistic monster, far from it; He also lost both his parents to the plague and most of what money he spends goes to his alcoholic brother
@Jakezing ...is this supposed to be related to the previous comments? If so, I'm not sure what your point is. If not, then...ok. I haven't read the book, so I'll reserve judgement on it and its portrayal of the characters for a time that I have. Sound fair? I really don't want to start some kind of fight.
Yeah, never question your way of superstition, even if obvious christianfags are obvious christianfags. (Btw I have no problems with homosexuals, only with christianfags)
No one, I just wanted to make clear that with "christianfags" I only mean "christianfag". You can be a fag without being a homosexual. And my point was that this song is quite critical of Christian moral hypocrisy as the original book by Victor Hugo has been.
@sceptiquele Assuming you've read the previous comments, I've already said I've never read the book. Therefore I am not going to say anything about the book. However I would argue that this song is about the moral hypocrisy of a single man, not an entire religion. I think that's the mistake people are making here...
@camptowngirl No all Christians are crazed lustful beings that wish to ravish any poor defenseless woman they see. Not to mention murder children because they look different. Every terrible thing ever done ever is the fault of either a Christian or... a Christian. I am going to go riot now. *grabs pitchfork and torch*
@camptowngirl GRAAAH! I say we persecute those evil Christians! Look at them judging everyone and generalizing! You'd never see a non Christian do that it can't happen, its impossible. All Christians are evil! No hypocritical post here, nope. (I am being facetious towards the anti Christian comments)
@camptowngirl In responese to Chirstain morals Well you have the first line "you know i am a rightous man of my virtue i am justly proud" "I so much purer then the common vulgar .." and "Its not my fault, Its in God's plan"
@lennaylennay2 Frollo says those things because HE believes them. Most Catholics (believe me, I'm Catholic) don't think their sins are caused by God or even their religion as a whole. It's the opposite--turning away from it. Frollo just has some kind of chemical imbalance in his brain.
@lennaylennay2 *sigh* That's exactly what I mean. Those words indicate what an arrogant, condescending hypocrite he is. And the second set of lyrics you mention only helps your argument if that were true. But it's not. In any way, shape, or form. Can people please leave me alone now? -.-
@camptowngirl Yah and he's in a position where he can use good Christian people, and turn them against people that he doesn't like.
That was one of the points that Victor Hugo wanted to make in the novel. That the Chruch was corrupted and whoever was in the position to turn on people, did it with a flip of a switch (or just brainwashing people into thinking that someone was a witch).
Okayy, something's wrong with the french. There's The Phantom of the Opera, Beauty and the Beast, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. What do all of these stories have in common?
@InachiSasuke91 Kinda. He was singing about how she was tempting him to commit sin, so either she needs to die and go to hell...or be his forever more (and he'll take what he wants).
@Mirani2 Well, that's one translation. I was thinking "greatest fault", but I didn't write it out because I thought the 'Maxima' showed it enough. But yours sounds more poetic than mine :p
@Snakebite105 It's still a happier ending than in the book. :P

@Jakezing ...is this supposed to be related to the previous comments? If so, I'm not sure what your point is. If not, then...ok. I haven't read the book, so I'll reserve judgement on it and its portrayal of the characters for a time that I have. Sound fair? I really don't want to start some kind of fight.

Yeah, never question your way of superstition, even if obvious christianfags are obvious christianfags. (Btw I have no problems with homosexuals, only with christianfags)

@sceptiquele ._. You'll have to forgive me for not understanding. Who was talking about homosexuals...?

@camptowngirl
No one, I just wanted to make clear that with "christianfags" I only mean "christianfag". You can be a fag without being a homosexual. And my point was that this song is quite critical of Christian moral hypocrisy as the original book by Victor Hugo has been.

@sceptiquele Assuming you've read the previous comments, I've already said I've never read the book. Therefore I am not going to say anything about the book. However I would argue that this song is about the moral hypocrisy of a single man, not an entire religion. I think that's the mistake people are making here...

@camptowngirl No all Christians are crazed lustful beings that wish to ravish any poor defenseless woman they see. Not to mention murder children because they look different. Every terrible thing ever done ever is the fault of either a Christian or... a Christian. I am going to go riot now. *grabs pitchfork and torch*

@camptowngirl GRAAAH! I say we persecute those evil Christians! Look at them judging everyone and generalizing! You'd never see a non Christian do that it can't happen, its impossible. All Christians are evil! No hypocritical post here, nope. (I am being facetious towards the anti Christian comments)

@lennaylennay2 Frollo says those things because HE believes them. Most Catholics (believe me, I'm Catholic) don't think their sins are caused by God or even their religion as a whole. It's the opposite--turning away from it. Frollo just has some kind of chemical imbalance in his brain.

@lennaylennay2 *sigh* That's exactly what I mean. Those words indicate what an arrogant, condescending hypocrite he is. And the second set of lyrics you mention only helps your argument if that were true. But it's not. In any way, shape, or form. Can people please leave me alone now? -.-

@camptowngirl Yah and he's in a position where he can use good Christian people, and turn them against people that he doesn't like.
That was one of the points that Victor Hugo wanted to make in the novel. That the Chruch was corrupted and whoever was in the position to turn on people, did it with a flip of a switch (or just brainwashing people into thinking that someone was a witch).

I love how the latin words of the prayer contrast with the rest of the song. And the greek at the end, Kyrie eleison.
i wish we'd sing it like that at church. Church would be so epic.

@itachifan1243 According to the BBFC, "U" means "Universal". It is the British equivalent of a G-rating.
