[Heylilvelvet]

omg I love Quasi in both versions :)! I hate phoebus in this version, i love him in the disney one, i hate frollo in this one, i like him in the disney one, i like esmerelda in this one, i love esmerelda in the disney one.

[kags36]

I was tearing up at the scene between Quasi and Esmeralda. </3

[missCarlacris]

I cried with this scene

[MariannaGiglio]

Frollo is so sexy! *_*



[peymaania]

The holy church is a union of genital warts mal disguised!

[swastikausa]

console yourself quasi in ten short years youll have an oscar and esmeralda will be confined to sunset beach.

[Forevermoonlight13]

Aww Quasi..... :(. He is such a good person

[HippyAngel001]

I LOVE this film. Thankyou so much for putting this up! =D

[HopelessRomantic999]

2:53 - 2:57 Aw...

[MiaCharlie101]

"I am more unshapely that the man on the moon." This line is used in quite a few versions but i don't remember it being in the book.

[Aerodil]

2:00 an invisible makes him have a random jerk...

[lepsychokaybird]

Wow, Anthony Hopkins really did this role justice. His deformities may be a bit fake looking, but his acting really shines through. He portrays the character so well. It makes me so sad for him. :( And whoever played Frollo is magnificent as well! Passionate, dark and brooding, perfection! This may be one of the best adaptations of the book I've seen.

[ShatteredxSpiritx]

The sheer skill in this film send shivers down my spine. Derek Jacobi is magnificent. x

[parkingcap]

Why did you save me? Water, you gave me water.

[Aerodil]

6:53 Esmeralda- *rolls eyes* *pouts*

[Aerodil]

In the last part (8) it is sooo cute when Quasi says:Master please come.

[belartful]

how can anyone so ugly ....be so beautiful!? Quasi is a gentle soul.......strong but sensitive......a lovely man really!

[QueenAnneBoleyn1536]

this is pure love..I mean what Quasimondo feels...the best and sweetest feeling!

[rockinamber18]

Ugh frolo was trying to rape esmeralda XP thank god for quasimodo coming in just in time.

[titanic1224]

ya know, i bet that if he never tryed to like "rape" her and gave her some space, but still gave his subtle hints that he liked her...he'd have a WAY better chance...but he had to go to the " i must coress you" or the *jumps on top of her* " i must have you" thing...lol he had to go all jake the rape-her on her.....shame.

[ezdog0072]

LOL... Frodo!! I'm ROTFLing!!

[Kreamcakepie22]

Awwe x.x SOO SWEET. -Crys- T^T

[BlakesHayley]

Does anyone else find Frollo's robe alluring? It swings very nicely when he walks...

[VegaRocksTheRoses]

Anthony Hopikins played Quazi?? WOW! That brilliant man can play ANY roll like a pro!! Good show, good show

[Kelly14UK]

Wow. This is roughly the same time as Hopkins played the suave doctor who took pity on John Merrick. Funny old world...

[KatStroude]

I found myself getting all misty eyed

[TTtonicTT]

this made me cry 0.0

[horsepheus]

Gringoire must be Eric Forman's great great grandfather haha

[Kigaru111]

At 6:42

In the 1800s: You can tell that miserable wench to go to the devil."

Today's Term: Go tell that filthy little slut to go to hell."

[snipetracker]

Given the limited budget and the time in which this was made, they do a pretty good job of recreating medieval city life, complete with mud and vermin. 

[belartful]

awwwwwwwww! Quasimodo is sooooooooo cute!

[SailorMarie]

I'm guessing quasimodo never ends up with esmerald in any of the film adaptions... right? I guess it's more realistic that why, but I myself would chose quasimodo over anyone else...

[ShatteredxSpiritx]

Frollo- What has happened to you?

[maham21jan]

I like this Quasimodo :) he IS bandy-legged unlike the others.

[obssesivelove19]

I love 7:20-9:20 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxx

at 8:58 i think he kisses her somewere i now were but you need to find that out for yourself ( youse your imagination ) XXXXXXXXXXX

[lovegerardbutler1987]

"I must have you." Those words STILL freak me out for some reason. I guess it's the way he says it.

[obssesivelove19]

What the hell close the door and kill the hunchback !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sparklelemons]

Thankyou IndigoReflections I haven't read the book and wow I didn't know Hugo was inspired by stories and people that he met in Paris I wish Esmeralda and Quasimodo existed but they didn't I actually like the Walt Disney Esmeralda better than this Esmeralda because in the walt disney version Esmeralda was smart this one however is a bit naive

[TheAnnoyingThing1915]

i think quasi is the most baeutifull person out of them all. after humanity takes a shit on him he is still kind to those who dont deserve it.

[FlippinBooks]

Wow... Quasimodo's speech to Esmeralda is very much like the original. In the book, he says, "Never till now have I been so aware of my ugliness. When I compare myself to you, I pity myself indeed, poor unhappy monster that I am. I must look a beast to you. Tell me. You, you are a ray of sunlight, a drop of dew, the song of a bird! But I, I am something frightful, neither man nor beast, a something that's harder, more trod upon, and more unshapely than a stone."

:( *hugs Quasi*

[LolitaLexi]

Oh, HugosNotreDame you are amazing! Thank you!!! The attemped "rape" scene was incredabal! This Frollo is so well portrayed. So diffrent than any other! Alot like the compassionate book version of him! He speaks of love, his feelings are not of lust alone....:)~<3

[agwoodliffe]

Anthony Hopkins is definitely one of the finest actors ever

[3lolovehannibal]

It's so beautiful !! <3. I love this scene !

[sparklelemons]

could naybody tell me if Quasimodo and Esmerleda actually existed? and that scene when he says why was i not made of stone like you? really made me feel sorry for him in a big way

[IndigoReflections]

@sparklelemons

They didn't. As any other character from this book. Yet, it is said that Hugo was inspired by stories and people he met in Paris.

[grindmaggots666]

is this anthony hopkins? i could never guess ..

[aquaxcamus]

I removed it, cuz I posted it twice. ^^;

[PlusSizeAngel]

So agreed with you, Tininormi! Somebody kill Phoebus! p

[TiniNormi]

For all intents and purposes I hate Phoebus more than Frollo. Frollo's just a tortured religious nut, but Captain Phoebus is a typical jock asshole looking to get laid.

[bargeanimal]

I don't know where you're all coming from. I think Anthony Hopkins' performance here is an absolute embarrassment. His acting, his East London accent and that totally stupid looking make up job leave a lot to be desired.

[TiniNormi]

I really think he was 90% inspired by interacting with John Hurt in The Elephant Man. This isn't one of his best performances, but decent.

[LuxDeWakari]

@bargeanimal I agree with you, especially the Sanctuary scene, it lacked so much power that it could have had

[colmhearne]

Anthony Hopkins has put on the best Quasimodo I've seen even though the Disney one is still my favourite

[bookkeeper57]

You're right about that: the Disney film cartoonizes Anthony Hopkins in this role.

Solid performance with props paid to Charles Laughton, but it's still Sir

Anthony.

[CharmedBalthazar]

This one is older than the Disney movie.

[dorica91]

8:46 he has such great eyes <3

[BarnabasFrid]

Isn't he beautiful?

[dorica91]

yes, but this version is 14-years earlier then Disney one...

[MsPinkWings]

So? It's a coincidence, duh.

[geepunky]

OMG! I can't breath

this is so beautiful

I'm crying right now...

[bookkeeper57]

Anthony Hopkins: he can do anything at all. Quasimodo is the best man in this little story. Every other guy in this girl's world tries to use her.

[dbrito83]

Santuary Santuary!!!!hehe

[rexandlef]

is it a true story?

[norsketown]

No. I don't think so.

[mhamilton123]

no but its an adaption.

[t5y665yrty56]

frodos the ugly one hes the freak

[HugosNotreDame]

there is no "frodo" in this film !!!

[t5y665yrty56]

sorry i of course meant frollo

[Maxthemetalkid]

@HugosNotreDame i think he means "Frollo"

[EmilyGreene1984]

@HugosNotreDame I think he means Frollo.

[piinkKNICKERS]

@HugosNotreDame

HAHAHAHAHA! This is perfect! Frodo. Hahahaha!

[parkingcap]

@HugosNotreDame Frodo was raped by Saron.

[XxM00nSHADExX]

@t5y665yrty56

Wooh, this isn't lord of the rings!

Besides, read the book and pay careful attention, and you'll find he is actually just desperately in love. He is a very complicated character, hard to split the line of love and lust. Hes still my favorite, out of all I know. Edward Cullen can kiss his feet when it comes to true love.

[Americangal18]

@t5y665yrty56 Frodo!? FRODO!?

[Irideika]

@t5y665yrty56

The hunchback's name is Quasimodo.

There is a Frollo; that's the archdeacon. 

[TheSubzerogr]

@t5y665yrty56 LOTRE DAMME?

[t5y665yrty56]

hes a lot like erik the phantom only less manipulative

[EmilyGreene1984]

Are you talking about Quasimodo or Frollo? Because Frollo and Erik the Phantom are nothing alike, especially at the end of each novel.

[t5y665yrty56]

erik is basically a combination of quasimodos tragedy with frollos malevolence. both frollo and erik say they love the girl but act in a manner of malevolent obsession.

[EmilyGreene1984]

Actually that's not true - to a certain extent. Erik's love for Christine was sincere, but after he found out she loved Raoul de Chagny that's when he went out of control. But Erik never lusted for Christine, as Frollo did. He truly loved her for her mind, looks, spirit - that's why in the end, when she offers to become his wife - he feels remorse for what he's done to her, to Raoul, and the other people he harmed and as a result, he let's her go with Raoul and dies quietly. :( Frollo did not.

[t5y665yrty56]

Its obvious youre better versed with the literature. Myself im better with the various film versions of both stories. My favourite version of the phantom is the 1990 one with teri polo as christine and this version of hunchback is also the best. Both are the truest to the novel

[EmilyGreene1984]

Actually, your wrong. The closest film adaption to the "Phantom of the Opera" is the version with Lon Chaney.

[t5y665yrty56]

maybe but i still say teri polo is the best christine

[christinedaae87]

erik really does love christine thats why he lets her go even though she chose to stay. he killed because thats what he felt he had to do to survive to deter people from trying to find him. xxxx

[EmilyGreene1984]

Yes Erik really did love Christine, which was why - unlike Frollo - he let her go off with the man she loved more, Raoul. Essentially, the Phantom is very much like that of Quasimodo.

[juiceliina]

Yes they are! I agree with t5665yrty56! The choices Frollo gives to Esmeralda in the end of the novel are very much the same Erik gives to Christine.

[fightergrrl364]

this has to be one of my favourite scenes simply because of quasimodo

[littlebitwicked99]

This movie/story is the perfect example of finding the true beauty in a human being; even if they may appear ugly on the outside. There are just no words to describe such a masterpiece...it's almost as if I can feel my heart breaking over his pain

[jessicacodelyokoluve]

frollo is such a nasty pedophile yuck!!:(

[NeroFreyr]

Did they know of the man in the moon already at this err...era? I love Quasimodo. T.T This is so sad...

[iamdabeat11]

Frollo is such a creeper!

I love Quasimodo in this movie...he's so humble

[randomcandy567]

i'm crying!!! This scene is so beautiful!! I am actually crying. My mascara is running all down my face. I love the way he says " I would give my life for you." It's so sweet xx

[ilovetehran]

random candy lol i was about to cry too how hes like can i look at u when ur eyes are closed so u dont see how ugly i am :( omg so sad

[ErikandVsangel]

@randomcandy567 i know this is so beautiful and so heart breaking

[Frollophile]

It's interesting to compare this interaction between Frollo and Esmeralda with the one in the dungeon. In the dungeon, he was so much more...vulnerable, almost on the verge of tears. In this scene, he's much more in control of himself. I wonder what caused the sudden change in mentality?

[nojokesfact]

Read the book.

[Frollophile]

I've already read the book. Just speculating.

[GodessGrl94]

Quasimodo is so nice! He brings tears of joy to my eyes! :)(

[faruk715]

Beautiful scene ! A masterpiece !

[PioggiaNelVento]

I think in every movie they made about Notre-Dame de Paris, Hopkins is the best Quasimodo.

[crankycaz]

If Quasi is deaf, shouldn't he have more difficulty pronouncing his words? Although I know he wasn't deaf from birth so maybe it's different. No offense intended to anyone, just an observation.

[EmilyGreene1984]

Well, not to give alot of the plot of the novel away, when Frollo found Quasimodo as a toddler, he was gibbering away in another language. And then after Quasimodo became deaf, Frollo taught him how to read lips and to judge what a person's saying by their body language and how their eyes look.

[crankycaz]

Thanks. I need to read the book I think - everyone seems to say it offers a lot more than any of the films, which I suppose is obvious since it's the original format.

[BeeWilla4]

"your so beautiful" he is adorable x

[within17220]

I love this film

[Blumenmaedchen91]

"I would give my life for you" oooooh he is cute!!!!

[MillLaneProductions]

LMAO @ the way quasi just strolls in and is like OMG!!!

[donfrollo2]

really it's just eh.....!

ok that's a bad way of saying it but you know what i mean and to think i read on a dicussion form about this novel once that someone thought that it bore no importence to todays society well i say it dose i mean people haven't grown out racisem or discrimanation against people with deformaties and there are still people like Phoebus in the world men and women.

so this novel (sad to say) really reflects the twenty first centuary i think anyway

[donfrollo2]

I know i should be just enjoying this as fiction and i do i mean Frollo is a great fictional character and of course Quasimodo

(the best one). But we still have thess problems today i mean look at priests their not allowed marry and thats one of the main reasons Frollo went insane in the end.

We still have people losing their children (Sister Guddle i'm refering to). And we still have asswholes like Jeah Frollo on our streets. BUT WHY?

[donfrollo2]

is it possible that society will never be fixed, that we will still have thees problems in 1000s of years?

ok now i'm finished i just did that cause when i watch this movie or any adaptation of the novel or read the novel i realize how real it is

*shudders* but it's still a great novel i'm not attacking it actually i think everyone should read the novel once before they die since it has such modren themes in it.

[donfrollo2]

but Hopkins is good as Quasimodo as well

on another note it's pretty sick society sometimes i mean forcing someone to be soicaly icolated and spend their life living in a belltower (whole church of Notre dame)

because they happen to be physicaly different. It's sad but deformed people probaly don't get it eassy in some places today agreed?

P.S. I left this kind of message on the musical based on this novel because i'm horrifed by the treatment of Quasimodo

[LTHSFanpire]

wait theres a musical??

[donfrollo2]

I think the best Quasimodo actor I've seen is Garou!

[DaniMajor]

Oh yes garou is great. Somehow he doesnt make Quasi sound like a idiot. And Daniel Lavoie is a great Frollo too.

[DaniMajor]

The way Frollo is dresses in the scene it suits him, makes him look good. Despite that wig, of course.

[GirLover77]

Sir Anthony Hopkins is the greatest actor EVER in my opinion! At the beginning of this part he was absolutly AMAZING! THE best quasi yet!

[threestoogesfan2]

Anthony hopkins is bloody awesome! this is one of his best performances.

[barnardoo98]

Anthony Hopkins is FANTASTIC!!! as Quasimodo.

[EmilyGreene1984]

Oh I agree, I think he and Lon are, currently, the best interpreters of the role that I've seen without trying to copy one or the other.

[EmilyGreene1984]

I forgot to add Garou! Shame on me! He is equally brilliant in the role as Lon and Anthony are.

[naly202]

A Hopkins/Quasi is soo sweet in this scene. e.g at 1.29.

as for frollo.. ehem. quite desperate is he..

i don't know for which one to feel more sorry.

[greenvalley87]

was he really trying to reach for her breasts and kiss them?

[NovaDkn]

I guess so lol

[greenvalley87]

frollo wanted to get it on right away, didn't he?  it's the only make-out scene in the film.

[orlandobabe]

I love it when Quasimodo tells her his feelings for her, his feeling of knowing how ugly he is and that he would give his life up for her. Quasimodo is the only man is Esmerelda's life who's love for her is puriest and noblist of all.
