why does everyone think humbert loved her? reading the book, i get the sense that he really was just sexually attracted to her. if he loved her, he would've put her needs over his. idk if it was depicted in this movie, but in the book she cried every night after intercourse. She's a seriously damaged child because of him. In what world is that love?
@joannebenz2010 Hey sry, but I'm just going to disagree with you, just because a pedophile is in love he shouldn't be punished? if he really loved her, he would've left her alone. You know how old she really is in the book? not even 12. don't try to change my mind
Has anyone tried to see this from Lolita's POV? She probably thinks it's all a big game, she gets dragged around by her stepdad whom she has a crush on, he seems to blow up on things that seem trivial to her, he keeps ordering her to hide and not reveal herself and she's just starting to experience how sex is a powerful tool and it seems to make guys behave very nicely to her and get what she wants.
We are seeing this story from Humbert's POV, where he justifies himself and demonises Lolita.
... He Loves Her.... And that lil Bitch.... She meeann!! I have to read the book, im confused al i can see its that he loves her and that she is playing with him D:!
@IzhiiCigarette she is not mean. she does not play with him. She is an abused child without a father and without a healthy sexuality. She is trying to ESCAPE.
the book is way much better than the movie, don't be lazy and read the book.. if you like the confusing about the movie, you HAVE to read the book, is excellent
Ca someone please explain why he's begging her to tell him who "It" is. Is it because she's sleeping with another guy and she's lying about it, and when he try's to force it out of her she uses her sexual power over him to make him forget? Like if I'm right please
okay someone explain to me what happened.. how come he comes home and looks out the window and says dont leave me. did she sleep with someone else, and how does he know?
E ela bem que merecia, nao sei oque ele viu de especial nela , uma garota feia , aparentemente burra,nao e interessante ,CHATA, o que ela tem de bom? so o corpo , e vai ver que foi o corpo que começou desde o começo com a cena dela toda molhada quando ele conheceu ela . foi
Na minha opniao ele desde do principio ele gostava dela mas nao como mulher como uma criança e ai a lolita quando foi se despedir dele com aquele beijo fez ele descobrir o desejo sexual que ele tinha por ela e ela por ele, e tudo começou a se desenrolar apartir da ai. Ou seja ela destruio a vida dele
e claro que ela esta gostando ninguem enfiaria a lingua na boca de jeremy irons se nao estivesse gostando apesar de tudo vai saber porque, ela sendo uma vagabunda do jeito que é, e atirada duvido que ela era virgem. No acampamento quem era aquele charlie. eu odeio ela, ela esta manipulando ele.
. Or is it wreck his life. And she well deserved, do not know what he saw special about it, an ugly girl, apparently stupid, is not it interesting, FLAT, which it has to offer? only the body, and will see that it was the body that started from the beginning to the scene of her all wet when he met her. was all for it.
In my opinion it from the beginning he liked her but not as a woman as a child and there was a lolita when to say goodbye to that kiss did he discover that he had sexual desire for her and she with him, and everything began to course starting from there.
and of course she's liking anyone stick his tongue in the mouth of Jeremy Irons was not enjoying it nonetheless will wonder why she is a slut he is, and cast doubt she was a virgin. At the camp who was that charlie. I hate her, she is manipulating him.
you guys should read the book. it's amazing first off, and Lolita is not at ALL the seductress she is as portrayed in this movie. it gives a different perspective, for sure.
@YouTodayKing how about men liking children aged from 9 to 12. because that's what he does: he loves children and enjoys having sex with them. for the movie they did not cast an 12 year old because this would be illegal.
the film is very well made and the contents is hard to take in but exceptionally written and acted. I do not agrea with the charachter playd by geremy irons. He is not healthy feeling the way he does for his step daughter but the fact is although doloris is 12 she knows exactly what she is doing. As a grown woman now who was a tare away teenager girls meture younger and they know exactly how to get things from men., in one sense both characters are victims and also person inflicting pain!
the bitch slap part is golden--very well done visually. You can see the hate mixed with dependence and innocence on her face. BTW, the audio book of Lolita narrated by Jeromy Irons is really fun to listen to. He makes a great H.H..both in the movie and as the narrator
I can''t help but feel sorry for Humbert but at the same time glad that he may get in trouble....he is the adult here and doing something wrong but on the other hand he loves her and she is sort of like the one to came onto him in the first place. . . hmmmmmmmmm lol love the movie the complex characters and the plot is great :)
@scaleshchess I'm sorry, what? The man has been essentially raping her for about a year, isolates her, repeatedly physically abuses her and portrays himself as the victim. She is twelve. Dolores is not the problem here.
@scaleshchess I'll never understand why people take sides with Humbert, the paedophile, and say she is a spoiled brat. She never professed to be a mature partner for him, did she? She's a kid. Yeah, she may be flirty and people view her as slutty, but to her sexual matters are all a game and she doesn't understand it. Humbert uses her precocious behaviour to justify his paedophilia - but he never had a right to respond to it, she is a child.
@AlinaAnn No, she's no kid. You're very naive and in denial. She is very much aware of what she's doing, plus she's been fucking another guy at her school. She took full advantage of this man and played up to her young age to keep him on his toes. No ordinary girl - she's different. I cannot defend someone as manipulative as that. I'm sick of these delusional comments that are based on prejudice and moral crap.
@scaleshchess I'm naive? Hmm. How old is she, and by most jurisdictions does that classify her as a child? Yes. So REGARDLESS of her character, it is not legal for an adult to have sex with her. If people think differently then perhaps they'd be more comfortable in countries where the age of consent is 14 or younger. Certainly not many western ones, then. But the child's demeanour is IRRELEVANT. Moral crap, is it? These laws are in place to stop paedos from victim-blaming, as you are now.
@AlinaAnn No, you missed it. so instead of critising and questioning the law, you choose to force your narrow-mindedness on others because you are too scared to look at it for what it is. A man (or even woman) who is being used and provoked by a young person to give in to his/her urges is the "evil predator", while the provoker remains a "helpless victim" JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE UNDERAGE. You are delusional to put it mildly. It is not about AGE, it is about CHARACTER.
@scaleshchess U do realize that the movie is made from the viewpoint of the predator, don;t you? She is a child, less than 18 years of age. She doing things that are sexually arousing are sexually arousing only to the predator who likes young girls as their bodies evolve into young womanhood. He IS true predator! Don't you see it: The entire move is about him saying: Oh had she not been getting wet under the garden hose, danced, done what young women do! HE messed her up!
I get your sarcasm. I don't know the director or producers. You should ask them.
Lolita is a Lit Classic, they like good lit, show how complex and yet easy it is to abuse prepubescent girsl?
They saw a "love story", cautionary tale for parents and young woman or just for fun. it is good movie. Y. R u feelin sorry for the abuser too? Emphatize with "dad" having to be aroused by the unawares growing teen? Or, any sorrow 4 lost innocence when dad took her to bed b4 told her mom was dead?
@Leona10037 1) I wouldn't call Lolita "prepubescent" 2) Lolita is not the "unawares teen" she knows exactly what she's doing and is using sex to control Humert HOWEVER that does not make it right for Humber to give in to her or engage in any sort of sexual activity with her, that is wrong, but Lolita is as much to blame. As I said, Lolita knows her advantages and uses them against him. Furthermore, Humbert was not even her first lover and I doubt that he was even her second.
@IOPU187 does it bother you, we mainly get the predators view and excuses? Note, the movie is structured as a trial with Humbert appealing to "the jury". And,remember he wants "redemtion" and sbsolution for two crimes. Child abuse, rape and murder.
@scaleshchess Also, it is interesting how absolve him from moral accountability for his predatory pedophelia when he is the older, educated, more experienced of the two and harshly judge her for bad "character" when she is the under age victim. He thought the child that the only way she gets her anything with men is to be a sexual object. In this scene he is reaping what he has sown in the form of a the young woman whose spirit he broke! He is the one with the flawed character!
@scaleshchess Furthermore, if this is your viewpoint, you've completely missed the whole fucking point of the book, if you've even bothered to read it.
