this movie seems to give me the impression that life is hard for a girl trying to keep her virture and if she does she is shuned and treated like dirt. when really sch a one should be treated as gold with the utmost respect and honor. such a character in a true lady is rare now a days. fellow gentle ladies remain true to yourself!!! even when the pressure is on and no one believes you, you and god knows. thats all that matters. and the one worth waiting for will know too.
Frollo is a d***. He thinks that he has been bewitched by a witch, when he's just feeling sexual urges like a normal human being. Seriously, not everyone's perfect, not even clergymen!
There's a character dynamic between Quasi and Esmerelda. Quasi is tortured and outcasted for being ugly. Esme is tortured and outcasted for being beautiful. They're both blamed for something they didn't do. They were both taken advantaged of by someone they thought loved them. And they both had lettuce thrown at them.
why do people like frollo so much??? if he really loved her he wouldn't 1. frame her and watch her get torchered for something he did 2. try and get in her pants when she doesn't want to do it and 3. try and kill her for something she didn't do!!!!

I know i'm going to get alot of hate comments but thats my opinion and i'm going to stick with it..
Poor Frollo. If a desire is repressed, it will find an unnatural outlet somewhere. It's like Dennic Miller said about the Catholic priesthood: " These guys take vows of poverty and celibacy. Think about it--no money, no chicks...EVER!! What could go wrong there?"
@joepeeler34 Becos they followed the act of Jesus Christ, who didn't marry...well being married/single is nothing wrong but the intention is most important. But without a woman or a family, may be more convenient serving God wholeheartedly
Frollo' feelings seem they are desire..yes may be that idea is true but when you read the book carefully you can understand that obsession become love and he did everything to get her but while he was doing this he was kind and never meant to hurt her. Death is the sentence, it is brutal decision but it is part of love if you can get her...she can go to hell and then may be he can get her in the hell. Hope..hope and hope..he has hope in the novel
Esmeralda you dim-witted, naive little girl!! Can't you see how innerly tormented and lost Frollo is?!?! Kyaah!! I wanted to smack her in the dungeon scene yeesh!!
In other words...aahh Derek Jacobi is AMAZING as Dom Claude Frollo. His face when he sees that Esmerelda is alive makes me squeal! =D
@GodessGrl94 He says "Oh Esmeralda... if I could once caress you!"
To caress means "to treat with tokens of fondness, affection, or kindness (cherish)" or "to touch or stroke lightly in a loving or endearing manner". He certainly didn't ask much, poor man, but I doubt he would have stopped to light touches once he got started.
They literally reversed the personalities of Pheobus (ass) and Frollo in the Disney version. Although, when I went to Disney world, I still had a heart attack when I saw him and screamed with joy xD
Frollo is my favorite character of all time, evil or not :3
Frollo is an astonishingly hard character to portray- and Derek Jacobi portays him so well! He has a perfect balance of approaching insanity, passion, pure lust and love for esmerelda and desperation- this is fascinating!
I love this part why cant esmerelda youse her head and go with frollo's offer and save her life couse w all know that phoebus doesn't love anyody !!!!!!!!!!!
What the hell frollo you go on to strong i like " may i ounce coress you ???' you stupid !!!!!!!!!! and if i was there i wold have taken the dager from frollo and staped phoebus myself and do it for free !!!!!!!!!!
I am sooo happy they added the scene in the jail cell. It reminded me much of the scene in Notre Dame de Paris french musical "Frollo Visites Esmeralda" and "One Bright Morning Your Danced" I wanted to cry when i heard him make is plea...:(~<3 i love you frollo!
I find it kinda ironic that theres actually someone standing outside the cell yet he doesn't appear to hear Frollo admitting to killing Phoebus. I mean they were yelling kinda loud.
@braceyfaceanimegurl it was in the dungeon, they have thick walls made of stone, they could hear the yelling but it was probally muffled to the point were they couldnt really make out the voices and what they were saying.
lol, thanks for replying. i just think when he tries to touch esemeralda when she rejected him it was almost like a young child have a tantrumwhen he cant have what he wants.but i guess that just shows how his love for her has made him weak, like a child^^
love is still a part of lust and obsession, but its not the type of love that most people would want in a relationship. he can't really be obsessed with her without feeling slight feelings of love for her, although i do agree it is mostly lust^^
sex and love are two different things. You can love someone with every cell in your body without ever having sex.
In this movie(play. whatever) They do seem to make Frollo seem like he loves Esmeralda(or some feeling similar) In the book its pretty obvious its lust (=^_^=) In the end he kills her, I think that pretty much puts a damper on the relationship.
actually, i hate twilight and have never read it^^ one thing i have to mention is in my comment i've made a mistake , i meant to say "but its a type of love that most people WOULDN'T (not would) want in a relationship" . ^^
I think it´s complex. What Frollo feels is pure passion which is always mixed with lust Frollo may not love her as Quasimodo does, but he is deeply IN love with her. In the book you see it clearly. It´s not just lust, it´s much more than that. Saying it´s just lust, it´s almost disrespectful to the character, because he is far more complex than that . In the book, it´s clearly more than lust. Actually, the way Hugo constructed the character shows it.
i think part of it is lust but most of it is love that has been twisted by frustration and the oppression he's always had. He wanted her so much but he knew it was wrong and against his vows so it drove him mad. xxx
@DaniMajor You're correct. Frollo is definitely a character with depth, an individual that has thought much about life, which adds to his complexity and condition. Pheobus, on the other hand, is very simple-minded, and his feelings are mere lust. Quasimodo has the truest love for Esmerelda as he sees her, not simply as a fine piece of meat, but as a person with a good soul that was kind to him. when others weren't.
In the book he does rip his chest open multiple times with a dagger, just not deep enough to kill himself. When he approaches Esmeralda a couple months later, his chest is still bleeding.
0.0 thats disturbingly romantic. i know its morbid but i like that, i've ordered the book and it should arrive in a few days so i should be able to read it soon. but still i look forward to reading that, i'm a big fan of tragic love and the fact that his obssession has gone so far as to self harm himself is tragic love to me^^
Her eyes are not dark but light--Frollo said they were dark. Anyway; Uhh...Frollo is just sick and Pheobos is a big A-hole. Uhh...I'm so disgusted, poor Esmeralda. Poor her. It was really cute when Quasi saved her and started yelling "Sanctuary!". I was like..."Yay him!" Hahaha, this is so different from the disney version -.- well, disney always changes things anyway.
after seeing the dungeon scene i have dreams EVERY night about me being esmeralda and frollo sitting trying to rape me- it's horrible,but this is a really good movie- i'm addicted to this
this version is amazing!! Derek Jacobi is brilliant!!! Lesley Anne Down also does a very good job in this...she should have made more films like that...
Frollo's reaction to the death of Esmarelda and then his face when he sees her alive. priceless. Derek Jacobi has got to be the best actor to ever portray Frollo, he really shows Frollo's love and desperation.
Frollo's not the evil villian. He's very very human.
This part makes me feel violated, it would have been more believable if somewhere in the story he raped her. I'm not saying that to be sick or anything, that's just my opinion. P.S Did Frollo ask her if her could 'caress' her?! Well did he think she was just gonna say,'Oh yeah,sure'
I agree that the Disney Esmeralda is a great character, but she's not exactly how Victor Hugo described her. The character in this version is a much more accurate portrayal.
Derek Jacobi isn't exactly how I would picture the character of Claude Frollo, but nevertheless - his portrayal scares me as he's supposed to. Poor Esmeralda.
brilliant scene, brilliant. During the lines "...but I was quite helpless, quite helpless! And I remain so." there are actual tears from Derek Jacobi! However, whoever put that wig on him deserves a good kick in the behind IMO...
ahaha...Yeah you´re right. He could be handsome if he didnt had that wig. No he isnt exactly how I picture frollo, but even though he has a amazing eyes. And he´s a great actor.
This is so different from the Disney one!

Derek Jacobi isn't quite how I pictured Claude Frollo would look when I read the book, but his performance is dead on.
I enjoy this version of the story best, It's one of the few movies that kept loyal to the novel.

In the cartoon version Esmerelda is a lot tougher then she is in here.

true but in the cartoon version, she wasn't tortured and locked in a cold prison cell.

And this follows the book. Disney follows god knows what. In the book she was worse than this.

I agree that the Disney Esmeralda is a great character, but she's not exactly how Victor Hugo described her. The character in this version is a much more accurate portrayal.

Derek Jacobi isn't exactly how I would picture the character of Claude Frollo, but nevertheless - his portrayal scares me as he's supposed to. Poor Esmeralda.

brilliant scene, brilliant. During the lines "...but I was quite helpless, quite helpless! And I remain so." there are actual tears from Derek Jacobi! However, whoever put that wig on him deserves a good kick in the behind IMO...

ahaha...Yeah you´re right. He could be handsome if he didnt had that wig. No he isnt exactly how I picture frollo, but even though he has a amazing eyes. And he´s a great actor.

He is marvellous - I am a huge SDJ fan! This film is a waste of good actors, but this scene is sooo affecting...
