@isabellainnorway getting older's a fucking drag...not so much at all for all the lame reasons society thinks (our appearance etc.) but that you begin to really see and understand the way everything is in life...reality/humanity sucks...
Olivier was cast perfectly...aloof, gallant, sophisticated, and very elite. Old-fashioned masculinity that is intelligent and graceful. Missing these days.
It is a pity that Olivier was cast, he is too effeminate for the role. It wasn't until he grew old and didn't have the energy that he became a better actor.
i love to watch this movie over and over. they dont make movies like this anymore from that era. you cant compare the movies we have now to back then . what we have now is hollywood trash!!!
@fullaschulas0:31 and onward...Does it? Well, I'd concentrate on the view instead if I were you, much more worthwhile...it's amazing...they don't make anything great anymore :) now it's just about money to fool the masses momentarily, back then it was about making great things for the next generation...the world sucks balls now...I hate everything about it...It's horrible...
I just love the way he opens up to her in this scene when he feels happy. And she is so perceptive, the way she tries to change the subject to pull him out of his mood when he gets suddenly sad. This has to be the sweetest movie, Joan is so adorable and sweet. He realizes that he needs her very soon . : )
This movie is absolutely adorable. I know absolutely nothing about it but I heard it was really good so I decided to watch it. Just like I never knew anything about Gone With the Wind and enjoyed it more than I probably would have had I knew what it was about. This is great so far :)
Another very good adaptation is the 1979 one, with the charming Jeremy Brett (who was trained as an actor by Laurence Olivier himself) as Maxim, Joana David as the girl and Anna Massey as Mrs Danvers. You can watch this adaptation thoroughly on You Tube, but it is impossible to buy it, it is not released, as many works of this actor . A shame! But if you want to get an idea of his acting career, you can watch the video "A Journey through Time", it's interesting and pleasant.
the sound in these old films seems so funny now.Like from a radio or something...there's something about the quality that's always attached to black and white films.
lol i laughed at the end he was singing at the shower room! poor boy lol! i love this book, i regret to read the last chapter i dont want to end the story lol!
I never fully liked Maxim in the movie or the book. He's too short with her and I remeber they never talked much in their marriage. I don't like how he treats her so much like a child - too pushy. I know she's supposed to be the opposite of Rebbecca, but he could treat her a bit better anyway. Despite this criticism, it's one of my all-time favorite books.
@MissMortViolette It is the curse of the Gothic novel from the time of Jane Eyre onward. The wounded hero who can't talk about his pain but is hypersensitive about every time the heroine inadvertently slaps his emotional sunburn. Guys are not supposed to complain about what bugs them. We are supposed to be stoical but it just makes for hell for the womenfolk.
Max likes the heroine for her inverse qualities, but for he can't explain that to her. If he could, no story.
@TheSexiLexiSho "I love how in all the old movies guys would give girls their hankerchief when they cried :) what happened to all that now haha"
They got tired of all the snot-covered handkerchiefs? And remember, antibiotics did no come into use until the early 40s, so untreated sinus infections were common. That can be a very bloody business, indeed.
someone texted me the other day and told me i needed to look up this movie immediately cus i look and act EXACTLY the same as Joan Fontaine in this movie (albeit i am less attractive haha). Lol i couldnt believe my eyes when i saw this video hahaha we are exactly alike. jesus.
I know Mrs. Van Hopper is a piece of work, but she runs away with the movie until her last scene. She's hysterical! By the way, Lawrence Olivier is a piece...period!
MY BAD! "Rebecca" was the first name of Max's first wife, the dead, evil one. Joan Fontaine's character isn't given a first name in this film....am I right? Please let me know if her first name is ever mentioned in this film.
@Abbeysums Daphne du Maurier deliberately left out the name of the second Mrs. de Winter because the character of Rebecca was so strong andf pervasive she wanted to underline her presence even after death. I always pictured, from the description in the book, that Rebecca looked like Hedy Lamarr.
@TheSkylur44 Daphne is writing this tale as a memoir, as though SHE is the second Mrs. De Winter...whose name of course, is Daphne. There is a bit in the book where she speaks of her father, and states that her father gave her that unusual name. I recall reading a magazine article about Du Maurier which said that the idea of Manderlay was taken from another great estate which she was familiar with from childhood.
@xbeemer123 That is true; she was driving through Cornwall and came upon this estate and had to have it; although she rented it and lived in it for many years they never sold it to her, but that is what started her thinking of Rebecca.
I've read the book Rebecca and I like how the lines are word for word from the book. Sometimes movies ruin the book, but from what I can tell, this one won't. :)
@mlyn1982 sometimes you know those little bottles contain demons, that have a way of popping out at you just as you're trying most desperately to forget...
Hey BronyteP Thank you for this. I have watched a million times. I am still looking for Jane Eyre. Can only find it in French. I have found it in English, but have forgotten how I got it. Thank you again.
@aDieuSeul Yes he is, but he really loves her. But, just like a man, he has no idea how to tell her that. Then again, if he did, we would not have this wonderful movie.
Highly recommended: Rebecca -I watched this movie on dvd over and over again. Joan Fontaine's a real great actress. I only found out lately that this movie won an Oscar Best Picture and is the only movie of Alfred Hitchcock that won an Oscar Best Picture. Original story by Daphne du Maurier.
You're absolutely right about the acting. Nowadays the camera is always moving so there aren't as many long monologues, and there is more body language.
This movie is very interesting but the girl's character irritates me. All faltering and shy and uncertain all the time ... she really needs to get some personality.
@xmidnightschildx Really? I find those qualities quite endearing, and so does Maxim, evidently. But then, to each his own, we all like/dislike different things in people.
yes men knew were they stood then men were men women were women,,and yes i agree with you whats wrong with good manners they should bring it, back to many parents have forgot to teach the kids now adays,,and iam avery independent women,,but i do belive ,in guys opening my door,,and having goos manners,,
I don't think you can really compare today's acting with acting in the forties. Sure it's different stylistically, but there will always be excellent actors (such as laurence olivier) and bad ones!
I do agree with you to some extent. Actors nowadays are more emotional and more extreme. There just something so different about the acting now and then. But the acting was so wonderful back then. So elegant and classy.
Can someone pleas tell me what it stand in the letter, it is hard to read, she sucks att typing xD And i need it in a rewiev in school so would you be kind to type it exactli as she wrote it? :)
Dear Mr. de Winter, Why don't you return my calls you NAUGHTY man! As soon as I get over this nasty cold I PROMISE to keep you from being bored in Monte. Because I know that's just what you must be - bored, bored, bored! In fond friendship, Edythe Van Hopper
It has nothing to do with us 'modern girls' or 'this generation', it's not as if before the 21st century human beings reproduced using the process of photosynthesis. Sex, prostitution and sodomy always existed. Moreover, when was the last time anyone saw a group of 'modern boys' slapping each other on the back about being the first one to fall in love and settle down. The problem is most males would have sex with ANYONE at ANYTIME, so if your willing to accept anything; dont expect the best.
@rockogem Im well aware that plants reproduce through pollination, or asexually by using rhizoids or fragmentation. But i chose to say photosynthesis to reinforce the absurdity of the comment i was replying to.
I wonder if you still thought that if your father in 1940 wanted to marry you with a rich elderly man and threaten not to see you again if you marry the one you love...
The good old times. The girl in this movie seems so nice and innocent. The skanky bitches nowadays would open their gaping assholes for you on the first date after an intoxicating night of drunken dancing and debauchery.
It's easy to see why Vivien Leigh was very much in love with Sir Laurence....and remained so until her death. In their heyday, they were a stunning couple.
Flash backs & with Vivien Leigh---Oh, wouldn't that have been something--well worth watching over and over again. (more so around this time, rather than then IMO)
I love their dancing scene too, everything is gorgeous: the music, their costumes, the whole atmosphere of the sequence is magical and enchanting... And they both look so good, she's so beautiful and he's so handsome. They look very sweet here, her closing her eyes and relishing the moment, and him smiling at that... So romantic and cute!
I couldn't disagree more that most acting is better today than in 1940. This is a faultless film, the characterisations are superb, the script crackles and sparks, the structure and suspense is handled by the master himself. Lord Olivier and Joan Fontaine are each as beautiful to look at as to listen to. These are upper class English and Americans in a period when dress, etiquette, manners and emotions were strictly codified by those in Society. The TV remakes just didn't get those right.
I have to disagree that today's acting is better than 1940. In old films, actors had to reveal their emotions facially and speak at the same time. There was very little bodily gesture. Today, actors are more dramatic, walking or moving or waving their hands around more. Less facial communication and less long dialogues today.
lol totally agreed! I couldn't stand her in the first part either. She's practically sitting in his lap, and she blames...uh...whatever-her-name-is of being forward. ^^
i agree but its not all that bad. the fast talking picture i love but have a tough time watching is double indeminity. edward g robinson must have been super duper coffee caffinee. see how fast that dude talked in that movie? 10 times faster then martin scorsese.
Joan and Laurence had great chemistry in this. But I can't help notice how Maxim tells her what to do, typical in those days. But never the less, Joan was beautiful in this, you can't help but fall for her.
She's soo helplessly in love with him, it's quite beautiful. <3

Times have changed for both sexes. Women with birth control and feminism have become bitchy, and men responded by treating women like skanks.

It's easy to see why Vivien Leigh was very much in love with Sir Laurence....and remained so until her death. In their heyday, they were a stunning couple.

Flash backs & with Vivien Leigh---Oh, wouldn't that have been something--well worth watching over and over again. (more so around this time, rather than then IMO)

Rebecca is his first wife who is dead who is never seen. Joan Fontaine plays Mrs De Winter. But yes, Vivien Leigh would have been a good Rebecca.

I love their dancing scene too, everything is gorgeous: the music, their costumes, the whole atmosphere of the sequence is magical and enchanting... And they both look so good, she's so beautiful and he's so handsome. They look very sweet here, her closing her eyes and relishing the moment, and him smiling at that... So romantic and cute!

that the "Beautiful Rebecca DeWinter" could easily have been
the beautiful Rita Hayworth.

I couldn't disagree more that most acting is better today than in 1940. This is a faultless film, the characterisations are superb, the script crackles and sparks, the structure and suspense is handled by the master himself. Lord Olivier and Joan Fontaine are each as beautiful to look at as to listen to. These are upper class English and Americans in a period when dress, etiquette, manners and emotions were strictly codified by those in Society. The TV remakes just didn't get those right.

@duncann
I have to disagree that today's acting is better than 1940. In old films, actors had to reveal their emotions facially and speak at the same time. There was very little bodily gesture. Today, actors are more dramatic, walking or moving or waving their hands around more. Less facial communication and less long dialogues today.

There's something in the way Edythe Van Hopper pronounces her vowels that makes me want to slap her. Hard.

ARGH! All the acting at that time was so fast. everything happened so emotionlessly and the lines were spoken so quickly..

It's true though. The acting in movies today is much better, in my opinion.

i agree but its not all that bad. the fast talking picture i love but have a tough time watching is double indeminity. edward g robinson must have been super duper coffee caffinee. see how fast that dude talked in that movie? 10 times faster then martin scorsese.

I have to say I agree. I think they talked fast back then in the movies to give it a more real feeling. Like real Life.

Joan and Laurence had great chemistry in this. But I can't help notice how Maxim tells her what to do, typical in those days. But never the less, Joan was beautiful in this, you can't help but fall for her.
