q asco de pelicula \, da miedo

[ied86]

And that was the moment,when Moliére died?Or later?

[Mandinko23]

why would he use such a sharp cane soo stupid

[xchimino2]

Wtf?... do women ever age in this movie?

[pendehassen]

@xchimino2 no they dont... i wanna go back 300 years back! LOL

[weddinganejakopp]

I have my doubts that this opera was really performed with such a crew: a female choir instead of a boys choir and a woman as soloist. In 1680? At that time women usually were not allowed to act on stage at least not in royal opera houses.

[sologist]

Molière bien plus populaire que Lully...de nos jours!

[sugarandspice4815]

I love that the end of Lully's opera was met with complete silence...

[rhxthm]

according to wikipedia he actually finished his performance and died afterwords in bed..

[Montyleeny14]

@rhxthm This was more of a bend on his biography in order to add drama into the film. Dying in bed is sympathetic enough, but for the sake of drama, they used this 'death scene' as the end of Moliere's days.

[justdadalove1]

au moins Molière est mort sur scène. Quoi de mieux pour un artiste?

[andrika1990]

Something about the crazy wild hair and arm waving Lully is doing reminds me of Johnny Depp.

[suzannesadiiqa]

I hope Moliere somehow knows how well his creations have survived....

[StressMoliere]

@suzannesadiiqa he does. he must.

[drmgrl11]

just one thing, i thought women weren't allowed to sing in the opera back then and tahts why they had castrati

[TH3M4S0NB4BY]

@drmgrl11 This was only 300 years ago though. Perhaps the castrati appeared in the Renaissance or Medieval music...I hope that is true so this movie can be that much more accurate.

[sugarandspice4815]

@drmgrl11 French opera was different from Italian opera--only the Italians used castrati. In one of the previous scenes, Lully tells Louis that if he authorized the production of French opera, males would be baritones & basses, not the "excessive" tenors of the Italian operas.

[Kravate63]

Great scene. More and more people appear in the background to show the growing influence of the Church in Louis XIV's life over time (they,re all priests). The end of Lully and Moliere's work made that. We can also see that the room at the end of the opera (when we see the king with all the religious men) is a lot darker than before it, showing that the end of the work of those two artists ended the happiness present in Louis's life. All of this is speculation :)

[Arcjo1]

Merci Farida ta compassion est très appréciée!!!

[bersa888]

BAD makeup job..., ridiculously bad....

[metteholm75]

janafeir. Nope! We can´t....and look at Lully´s young mouth and pearly teeth. The makeup work is not particularly good.

[d2eux]

Wait, what the heck happens at 4:47? Suddently more people appear and the audience and lully looks older?

[TarEldamir]

@d2eux A different performance?

[d2eux]

@TarEldamir yea you're right, in my opinion its a poor transition job though

[Stravinsky91]

@d2eux Yes it's another performance, it's supposed tu sum up the years Lully wrote operas fro the king

[mouthmouse]

@d2eux it's like that to see two different operas at 2 different times

[janafeir]

Why in the death scene is Lully old and yet the women are as young as when they first met him Can we not allow women to age the same as men The scene looks absurd

[romulusaikido]

@janafeir  In the eyes of men, women they love never change. They always look as beautiful as they did first time they met.

[rhxthm]

@janafeir i think it's more like the people who did the makeup for this scene screwed up. he was only 55 when he died so we can assume his wife could have been anywhere from 40-50 (she looks barely 40 here but hey, its a brief shot) and Julie was way younger than him, she could be like 30 here for all we know. but you're right, it does look absurd.

[lanabanananickimouse]

@janafeir I think its first of all because women got married at a very young age those times. Then it's the renaissance beauty ideal that a woman should be young and beautiful like an everlasting picture. We sure have the aftermath of that nowadays. But this movie stay very close to that what we know of the renaissance.

[berrymelonForevar]

@janafeir might have been to show us how weak he became, and how tormented he might have been that the king would snob him and all, like you know, its often said that worries make white hair. XD

[Arcjo1]

Lully et sa "Glorieuse Musique" se meurt en se repentant d'avoir tenté d'anéantir "Le verbe sur scène"...jamais trop tard pour bien faire!!!

[FARIDA326]

@Arcjo1 Desolee d'apprendre ll'attentat a ta vie...

[Arcjo1]

@FARIDA326 Merci ta compassion est très appréciée!!!

[cyparris3]

the make up is crap

[SinoSene]

What is the music at around 40 seconds? It is beautiful!

[ApollonianDionysian]

what is the titel of the song so beautifully sung by claire keim? I want to know whát she sings.

[alejandra379]

well, Claire Keim is not singing here... the soprano voice is provided by Cristine Scheen a wonderful young soprano.

[norcalrobbie2]

"C'est Lui Dont Les Dieux Ont Fait Choix " from Lully's opera Isis.
