I don't like Phoebus, he isn't handsome, I will be deceive by the whole movie I think, I'm going to stop watching it. sorry for my mistakes i'm french.
if there is one thing i hate to see in these medieval-depicting films its the ignorance and the tyrannical authority of the church...in those dark times the church was corrupt, a rotten apple through and through..it used the ignorance of the people to make them believe that the Church was the source of God's power on earth, so that the priests, deacons, archdeacons...would be able to get away with anything, when the people demanded an explanation for a disease they blamed it on 'witchcraft'
Sadly, aren't some churches still corrupt? Religion is still used as justification for murder, genocides, racism, prejudice, hatred, and atrocities of all kinds.
@Aerodil Its the French Fortress Prison that was basically where the French Monarchy would stick you in if you so much as went out of line. It was torn down in the French Revolution in 1789 after some extremely pissed off peasants revolted and stormed it.
@Aerodil A bastille is a fortress in Paris built in the 14th century and used in the 17th–18th centuries as a state prison. So they meant if Esmeralda didn't stay in Norte Dame, then she would have been taken to prison.
Holy shit he sounds creepy when he describes his fantasy relation with Esmeralda as "good to one another". I mean, he sounds like a sweet-talking paedophile.
This is when Frollo really does lose everything. He really does love her-It is really strange considering the age difference. Derek Jacobi is such an amazing actor, he just is frollo- you cannot see him as anyone else in this!
"release that woman, you scoundrel!"... I mean, are you kidding me? Could there be a more cliché line in any movie? Lovin' Sir Hopkins as quasimodo though, the man is probably the best actor in the world.
Wow. For once Disneý made a character worse than he is in a live-action film. (Frollo is fucking evil from the very first second in the Disney cartoon, especiallu with Esmeralda.)
It;s not OK for your hunchback to party in the street, but it's OK to kidnap a girl half your age on church premises, especially if you're the archdeacon.
@bookkeeper57 Sadly that was how it was in those days. People do hate the Catholic Church for this reason. (Even though the Catholic Church is trying their best to disassociate themselves with the previous bad behavior). But even more sad, actions like these make people hate God, and that is the true tragedy.
in the original disney film, esmerelda wasn't the girl ho ran out of the place. in the sequel, madallaine was the one who ran away. but in teh original, the judge was stillt he one to show obsession in esmerelda
Of all the men in esmereldas life only quasimodo truely loves her. Though she not desire him she respects him. Hes the only one who treats her as a person. Frollo , gringoire and phoebus all just want her for their own vanity.
I'd elaborate on that and say that while none of them love her, Frollo is passionately, destructively obsessed with her; Phoebus views her as a conquest; and Gringoire goes from infatuation to being merely fond of her pretty quickly.
On a personal level, this is the main reasons I like Gringoire so much: unlike Frollo he takes rejection gracefully and moves on.
i bought the book on tuesday and finished it on thursday - it's so addictive (i couldn't put it down) i like this esmeralda but in the book she has black hair and her skin is darker.
hey!! i was thinking of buying the hunch back of notre dame book, saw that you had already read it! could you please give me the name of the author thanks!
lesley-anne down is so beautiful! I'm really jealous! i wish i looked like her. She is so beautiful. i think she looks nice at 3:30.
i feel sorry for her at 3:47 though - she looks really freaked out (i suppose you would be if you were like 16 and the archdeacon of Notre Dame was feeling you up) frollo scares me at this bit - imagine if you were a 16 year old girl and an archdeacon was trying to seduce and rape you. ooh it gives me chills :(
i read the book and i loved it but disney does it and if it were longer id love it even more and the music is amahzing and frollo in this is not scary enough he just fits in like a monk and doesnt seem like a judge like hes supposed to be right?
I think it was because they thought his song "Hellfire" would upset the Catholic Church. Just like in the 1923 and 1939 they changed it so Frollo was not the Archdaecon, again to avoid offense.
He may have been initially attracted to her, but in the end, he only wanted to seduce her and became obsessed with her. The character, itself, has always been one of the most replusive characters in French literature. Only Quasimodo seemed to really love Esmeralda.
