les parapluies de cherbourg

[mucitta]

The best in this scene is when Geneviève complains that it's so cold at 2:30 and then... she leaves her four-years old daughter alone in the car with the window OPEN!!! :-D what a mother!!! LOL and it stays open until the end, see 5:32

[hyricanigor]

Il n'y a pas de détachement sans douleur..! Es gibt keine Loslösung ohne Schmerz.

[mossemer]

zum heulen schön...

[tmik239]

Absolutely love this movie..the ending is hearbreaking. But I adore it!

[4bawbees]

gets me every time! so so sad and a story that could be anybody's.

[crawfish999]

And in the background they are playing "If it takes forever, I will wait for you." She didn't. I saw this movie in Montreal with my high school French class. I really dislike musicals but with Catherine Deneuve in the film, we'll ...

[squeaky00]

ummmm is everyone ignoring the elephant in the room???? why does that man have the largest snap close change purse in the world slung over his shoulder .....do you suppose its full of kleenex and pepermints like my aunt hazel's was ?

[gramule]

@squeaky00 lol. i am mortified, i thought that you would know that it was a sac d'argent/money bag. service station staff in great britain had them too in the 1960's, and they are still used in the UK by guards on trains. oh you are you are a funny little thing!

[Roland8Cry]

@gramule, I think she was joking you twit.

[gramule]

@Roland8Cry yes and i was being ironic, you twit. as i have suspected, levels of intellect, education and self-awareness are vastly, vastly different in the usa and europe. hope this helps

[Roland8Cry]

@gramule, the irony of you sounding like a complete moron, while marveling at your continent's superior intellect was not lost on me. Funny, I guess... We North Americans are always up for a good joke.

[gramule]

@Roland8Cry usa nothing could be farther from the truth. (you refer to north americans), as after all canadians are subjects of our dear, dear queen, who made a visit to her domain only last week. they are, in effect honoury europeans, with the best of british and french influences all that that stands for, liverature, decency, fairness, tolerance, plus very very low rates of gun crime . hope this helps.

[Roland8Cry]

@gramule my apologies man, I didn't realize you were jokin'. Sorry about my snappiness, I really thought were being a pretentious twit at first! Peace.

[ParisChic6]

Ahhh, i love this movie. we watched it in french -class; it has such a bitter-sweet ending

[squeaky00]

@ParisChic6 sigh

[gramule]

@ParisChic6 yes, it is fantastique, so full of, as you say, bittersweet pathos.

[aquasalmastra]

struggente.. amore allo stato puro.. amorecome dovrebbe essere per ogni vita che nasce su questa terra. amore perdente amore che troveremo una volta nella vita

[sweetanamarinax3]

Guy and Geneviève are both soo beautiful!

[willbraham]

deneuve was never ever more beautiful. She had a quality about her in this film that was soooooo heartbreaking.

She made genevieve one of my favorite names for a female.

[gramule]

fantastique! so so european

[squeaky00]

@gramule lol you are funny little thing!

[gramule]

@squeaky00 as I have said, so so europeean, style personified. maybe not quite up to the standard of the intellectually and emotionally challenging offerings from across the pond, such as men in black, terminator, independence day etc. but hey we try......lol

[squeaky00]

@gramule ummm yes you are so right!! and your examples of 80's and 90's movies from one genre proves your point to a tee...you rock! hugs to you and yours! i am off to watch rambo on vhs or come back little sheba i am not to sure which ..since you mentioned action movies i feel like a little rollar coaster hmmmmm choices choices ....but never you mind...just remember i respect you so much!

[gramule]

@squeaky00 oh you are such a funny little thing, just enjoy what is just one example of our classy, classic european film. the usa is so so diferent from europe, in every respect, so just enjoy some of our offerings. vive le difference!

[gramule]

@squeaky00 as i have previosly said, just relax and marvel at the splendour, and celebrate in the diversity of this truly wonderful world. cultures, lifestyles, levels of education are vastly, vastly different in the usa and europe, and they are manifested in different art forms. the path to true hapiness is to have an open, accommodating and tolerant disposition, and not to get hung up on trivia. you are such a funny little thing. lol

[squeaky00]

@gramule oh you goose! you are to die for, i just want to wrap a piece of prosciutto around you, stick a toothpick in and call you an appetizer you are so yummy!! ...dont have a care, i still love you.

[gramule]

@squeaky00 you are such a funny little thing! so so content and happy with your inner self. glad for you and yours on your journey. as i have said, the usa and europe are totally, totally diffferent universies, obviously, with different values, standards and levels of intellect. as our french cousins would say, vive le difference!

[gramule]

@squeaky00 it is 0.33h in the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland. a friend who is 'youtube savvy' has pointed out that your (3) subscribers are also from the us of a. oh you goose, and there you had me thinking that you are a free thinking, and bright, intellectual and open-minded citezen of the world. what a minx, you truly are such a funny little, litle thing! enjoy.

[chiisaijonathan]

superbe

[Tanechka80]

I love this Film

[patrickdcyau]

I will buy this DVD (if available) tomorrow! The spoken dialogue & song are sung throughout to create a 'style' similar to an opera -- recitative & aria.

[willbraham]

Do they have it on dvd yet? I would die if they released a blue ray with updgraded and fully restored visual quality on this already beautiful film

[patrickdcyau]

I have bought this DVD already. Highly recommended! I am not sure if they'd ever released a blue ray disc.

[Sven2Perroy]

pourquoi ils chantent au lieu de parler?

why the fuck would they sing instead of talking wtf

[paulmercy]

Moi, par contre, je me demande pourquoi les gens ne chantent pas constamment au lieu de parler. Le quotidien serait beaucoup plus pittoresque de même...

8^)

[gramule]

as an australian.. you would say that...totally, totally missed the moment, so, so sad fo you. we europeans love it. stick to ramsey street/neighbours/kylie cobba and leave the class alone. g'day

[ROMANABSOLUT]

Un film a jamais ne l'oublier ! Les films d'autre fois sont les meilleurs.

A movie to never forget !

Well, the old movies are MUCh better than today.

[leakatrine91]

ils se sont reconnus des l instant meme ou leurs regards se sont croises <3 c triste... c comme si guy lui disait je ne vais jamais te pardonner, tu avais jure de ne pas m oublier...

[Alredhel]

I swear I have searched on the Internet for years to find an mp3 of the "song" starting on 2:21, since I first heard it on the radio...oh, twenty years or so ago.

I love you, man!

Now, anyone have an mp3? 8-)

[leakatrine91]

u sarch on limewire " michel legrand, les parapluies de cherbourg" and u get all the options ;)

[ranaAQUAMspectat]

this melody in the end... so sad and beautiful! it's so strange, but I wanted this sad ending, like - it's the only possible way to finish. And when I think about this film, why is it a classic, I see only two reasons: this ending and wonderful Catherine Deneuve :)

[Zeusdattilo]

I agree. I think it's very sad way to end this wonderful movie but the only one possible.

[willbraham]

Its an amazing story. HWAHWHAHWHAWHWHWAHWHWAHWHWHWAH­AWHWAHAWHWAHAWHWAHWAHWA

[itseasyaspi314]

un bonne filme!

je pleure chaque fois.

c'est belle.

[idontlikenicknames]

oh god i started crying my eyes out even i have watched this before...I have never cried as hard as I did when I watched this first time! Most sadly beautiful movie ever.

[ofchicago]

Damn you Geneviève!!!!! I'll never forgive you.

[Ebonyhorse23]

Elle est tres belle dans cet film. Lui aussi, beau mec!

[malgrant]

God I love this film, it's always so painful to see this last scene and yet I'm so happy for Guy that he got over it, at least in some sence.

[buenosdiers]

Man, you never get over this kind of thing. NOt after all that happened. I guess Genevieve didn't either.

[malgrant]

I kind of put that in a wrong way, I meant that they (at least Guy) were able to go on with new relationships.

[coreangoddess]

I love this film too. It is true very painful to see the last scene but I love how he doesn't get carried away and focuses on his family at the end. I am sure it is painful for Guy not to see his daughter but I think he made the right choice. Love the film and the music. Super!

[sccates]

I have often heard of this movie, but I have never seen it. It looks and sounds beautiful, and I am anxious to see it one day.

[heraavria]

didn't you know that the original 1964 version of this film was completely black and white? and because this was black and white, originally the film nearly faded...?

[bellevillemusique]

Les gens qui ont fait ce film et cette musique ont quand même mérité leur place au paradis.

[moshesor]

elle c'est tres beau...

[LightofBeauty]

Chaque fois que je le regardais, je crie beaucoup!

[cousinmachin64bis]

je penseplutôt que tu pleure beaucoup ;-) (crier means "to scream")

[lefa]

Cette fin à se passer en boucle avec l'intégrale de Douglas Sirk qui ressort ces jours-ci à placer juste à côté.

Somptueux.

[gerlaurent]

les vies se croisent et l'on passe à coté du bonheur ... il ne reste que les souvenirs et les larmes.
