As a caregiver I see how people look at those who are different every day, my own disability is what people call invisible so I don’t face the crowd like them. I see them turned away, mocked and looked down on when in fact they love you and just want to know you. Many children don’t understand why others won’t play with them, thankfully my son being raised in such an environment sees these children for who they are, not their disability. He always knew their names, what class they were in and what they liked to play. They have feelings, many times it’s just a little more difficult sharing them. I wish more people listened Witt their hearts than their eyes.
Unfortunately, the world has always hated the ugly and the weirdos. Nevertheless, it's worth trying to not get freaked out by those who have some physical disability. On the contrary, we should welcome them as friends and try to have them as allies. Besides Cuasimodo, Claudius, the roman emperor, was lame and a staterer. His own family despised him for being like that. However, he was such a brilliant historian; he reconstructed the entire Rome's history from the Monarchy period until the Reign of emperor Augustus with all kinds of crucial details. He was the only survivor of the Julius dynasty. But his most remarkable task was the conquest of Britain. He planned the entire campaign by himself. This demonstrates that some may lack the physical abilities we all expect from everyone else, but their intellect is twice, or even thrice ahead of any normal person.
I'm a 15 years old girl, and I liked this movie, the book and the disney version. That's it. All beautiful. Thank you Victor Hugo for creating the story.
The great author tried to tell us: The priest/father in the churches are just wolf covered by the sheep's coat; the king are just all cunning politicians; the foolish civilians are you and me; and the hunchback bellman and the beauty are the few of us with kindness and real wise. Our life is just like this drama.
Or like the workers are sheep the thinkers are dogs to lead and help the master and the master is the person who have both the abilities who uses workers and the thinkers
Richard Harris is brilliant as Frollo. He looks like he's prematurely aged, deprived of sleep and genuinely looks unsettling . His performance is what really sells it . There's an empty sadness to him which almost makes you feel sorry for him , that is until you realise he's acting purely out of desperation and lust , to the point of forsaking everyone else including his adopted son .
@@user-sf3fe4bh2q True , but it's something that more often than not is overlooked in the live adaptations. To be fair in the book Frollo is supposed to be in his 30's , but is often mistaken to be older due to prematurely balding and being sickly looking . The book hints he's not aged well .
the Sanctuary scene is probably my favorite scene ever captured. "At this sight the women laughed and cried; the crowd stamped with enthusiasm, for at that moment Quasimodo was really beautiful. Yes, he was beautiful- he, the orphan, that foundling, that outcast; he felt august and strong; he looked in the face that society from which he was banished, and in which he has so powerfully intervened.” (Hugo 323)
It shows that Quasimodo (kind hearted man) can reveal true justice. He came brave enough to show who really the evil is. Love and kindness can change the world.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of the few classics I missed reading, before getting into university, then a career, then parenthood, etc., etc. From the comments, I understand it is different from the book. In any case, it was better than any of the movies from 2010 onwards, that I have watched! Salma Hayek is such a hear throb, Richard Harris is menacing yet deserves sympathy like a child and Quasimodo is just brilliant! Many thanks BardandQueen for this upload!
It was strangely touching how in the end Frollo seemed to truly care about Quasimodo. Asking whether he will forgive him now that he confessed and later his horrified face after he stabbed him. The movie might not be the best adaptation, but there are some truly great moments in this. Richard Harris as Frollo stole the show for me.
He’s always been a great actor, in everything he’s in. Fun fact, he was originally cast to voice Quasimodo in the Disney version. He walked out due to creative differences with Disney studios.
FABULOUS PRODUCTION - it's over 60 yrs ago that I first saw this as a child was as mesmerised back then as I was watching this now. A master piece. Thank you. It didnt bother me that the ending was different to the original or the book it was still superb.
I remember when this first came out - I loved it then, and I love it just as much now...you can't take your eyes off of Selma, she's so beautiful - but it's Quasimodo who steals the show; this is my favorite portrayal of this iconic character on film...thank you for uploading it ;)
Since I was young, I always found Quasimodo very handsome. He was my favourite man in Disney movie, and I loved his height since I was small too back then
Ah an 1831 classic! And in my opinion, one of Victor Hugo's finest works of literature! He dared to challenge small minded ideals and exalt morality and necessity for human rights in this and many of his literary masterpieces! Love it 👍
You should hear them for real so beautiful I was in Paris a few years ago and I stood in the square and heard them and overheard a few people mention the name Quasimodo
The Muslims burned it recently. The sound of it turning into ashes while Muslims disguised as immigrants are cheering for its destruction... That my friend, gives me chills up to this day.
Just once, I would like to see a movie version of this Victor Hugo story that ends the same as Hugo wrote it. In the novel, Esmeralda was executed and her body thrown down into a pauper's grave. After a good amount of time had passed, some passersby looked down into the large, round burial chamber and gazed at the skeletal remains of what appeared to be a female as if being embraced in the arms of what had to have been a grotesquely disfigured male. Ending the story with Quasimodo's act of joining Esmeralda in death is not a happy ending, but it is truly one of the most profoundly pure acts of love to be found in fiction.
Dwight Turner The 1956 French Italian version has the accurate ending. It stared Anthony Quinn and Gina Lollobrigida, and was shot in CinemaScope. It ends with the “intertwined in death” scene. I remember seeing the TV version at one time and it’s not a bad adaptation, though very 1950’s in feel. Worth finding. You can find it on the Internet in streaming sites if you google it.
I am thinking that the hunchback movie starring Gina Lollobrigida did have the ending you describe. (It has been a long time since I watched it, so I wasn’t sure.)
A happier ending than the book, although not a true adaptation, made me relieved. Quasimodo's crying out in pain in Notre Dame before Claude Frollo, after being given 50 whips was a really emotional moment for me.
This was the 1st time in my life I've ever watched this movie, and I'm sitting here wondering how that could be! This was an apsolut excellent movie. Thanks so much for sharing.🌹
I like this one a lot not only because I can deeply relate to Quasi out of most of the disney protagonists, but also I really love the architecture and time they put into creating this work of art
What an outstanding, beautiful, moving production, no matter how "close" to the book it is. If it were close, it would be totally priceless. P.S. And the way she dances... Gosh, the cameraman truly deserves an award, as everyone else. Thank you so much, Quenn, for uploading. I've never seen this movie before.
1:22:41-1:23:19--I love this bit. Frollo rants about desiring Esmeralda as if Quasimodo couldn't understand it and Quasimodo stops him in his tracks with, "Why do you think I do not know of such things?" This is the only version, at least that I know of, that addresses this, that Quasimodo not only loves Esmeralda but also physically desires her. A nice touch, considering that people with disabilities/deformities are often stereotyped as not having such yearnings.
+xxJacket23xx It really does. It makes me wish someone would do a film version that was told from Quasimodo's point of view. His perception of the world, and how it changes, would be fascinating to see onscreen. Plus, I just love Quasimodo. He'll always have a special spot in my heart. He was the first character I could really identify with. I've been visually impaired since birth and when the Disney version came out in theaters when I was eight, I was absolutely floored to see that someone different, like me, was not only the story's protagonist, but was a good guy, to boot. So often, characters with disabilities/deformities are their stories' bad guys (sorry, Erik, the Phantom of the Opera, I love ya, but it's true). But Quasimodo--he was kind, golden-hearted, a man of faith, AND he epically saves the day during the "Sanctuary!" scene. I could go on, but I think you get my point: Quasimodo is awesome and the world needs more characters like him.
+TheaterRaven You're right. There's a lot people need to understand when it comes to disabilities. I think Hunchback is seriously underrated (even when it comes to the Disney version). (I also agree with the Phantom thing too.) In an odd way, Frollo is my favorite character. Not because I admire him (far from it) but because he's "all things wrong disguised as good." I think it's an important lesson for people to learn. Sometimes you meet people that are like Frollo (hopefully in not so extreme circumstances).
+xxJacket23xx Agreed. I love stories like "Hunchback" and "Phantom" because they're amazing at illustrating people. Everyone can relate to the battles of good vs. evil, reality vs. illusions, etc. Erik had his heart in the right place, but he went about trying to get what he wanted in the wrong way. To me, the story of "Phantom" is a cautionary tale to the world about judging people. It's a tale of a self-fulfilling prophecy where an innocent child becomes the monster society first perceived him to be. Not that grownup Erik is totally innocent, and he does get his redemption at the end, but still, it's a very sad story. "Hunchback", while also sad, seems a bit more uplifting, given that Quasimodo stays true to himself and goodness for most of the story. I've found that with a lot of Victor Hugo's tales--"Hunchback". "Les Miserable", "The Man Who Laughs"--they all have this surprising combination of gibing hope for the future while depressing the heck out of the reader at the same time. It's a strange mix of storytelling, but if anyone could've pulled it off, it was Victor Hugo. The man was a genius.
+TheaterRaven Hugo never really states any physical desire for Esmeralda by Quasimodo. However, he is not incapable of physical attraction. Consider the scene in the novel in which Quasimodo watches Phoebus and Fleur de Lys kiss.
In the novel, Esmeralda has a number of choices among those who admire her, and each represents different qualities: Quasimodo has purity and spirituality, Gringoire is philosophical and has a sense of justice, Frollo has intellect, and Phoebus has great physical beauty (, which he uses to seduce women). Naturally, Esmeralda falls for Phoebus. Phoebus is much romanticized and his character flaws are cleaned up in the various film adaptations.
Hollywood does not see that Victor Hugo criticizes a choice based on physical beauty. He makes it clear in O home that he laughs, Dea is blind and lovers Gwynplaine for what he is.
@@davidtppelin1011 Haven't read the full novel, yet, but as I have readed an abridged version of it with lots of tidbits about the Middle Ages in Paris, I always found Esmeralda stupid for choosing Phoebus and I kinda felt pity for Frollo.
@@sampeacaml9307 So many things are different in the book, and Esmeralda is not much of a heroine, or at least a true protagonist. But she isn't evil nor ill - meaning: she is just a very young, naive due to her lack of life experience, but ultimately innocent girl without much fault, and she dies tragically, though she isn't given really much agency even in her death by the narrator. Men around her lust after her, endanger and seduce her, yet none of these men, neither Phoebus nor Gringoire, truly love her, Quasimodo's care for her is actually the purest out of all the other men
@ygnit5793 I think even Quasimodo's love for her is fairly superficial. He's been abused all his life and she was the first person who was ever kind to him. He didn't actually know her.
I'm sorry and have nothing to say. I red Victor Hugo's book when I was 15, but never had a opportunity to visit that place, nor ever watched a movie. I am going to watch it now. Goodbye Notre Dame :-(
I have never seen this version. It was the most eye opening version of this movie I have ever seen. Stuck close to history, unusual in and of itself, and I never knew Quasimoto was an intellect. Reminds me of someone else of great importance who died needlessly, because he wanted to do the right thing. Thusly, this is the course of history, and if the lesson is not learned, it shall be repeated. Sadly, taking the majority of people with it. God.bless and thank you for sharing this exquisite version of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. 😎👍❤🙏🌹
Quasimodo in the novel was more innocent and was not so smart, they changed his character and he was not so nice until Esmeralda changed him when he showed kindness for him. Gwynplaine from another book by the author was deformed, but much smarter and advocated social justice. But I thought this change was cool. The gwynplaine speech "I am he who cometh out of the depths. My lords, you are great and rich. There lies your danger. You profit by the night; but beware! The dawn is all-powerful. You cannot prevail over it. It is coming. Nay! it is come. Within it is the day-spring of irresistible light. And who shall hinder that sling from hurling the sun into the sky? The sun I speak of is Right. You are Privilege. Tremble! The real master of the house is about to knock at the door. What is the father of Privilege? Chance. What is his son? Abuse. Neither Chance nor Abuse are abiding. For both a dark morrow is at hand. I am come to warn you. I am come to impeach your happiness. It is fashioned out of the misery of your neighbour. You have everything, and that everything is composed of the nothing of others. My lords, I am an advocate without hope, pleading a cause that is lost; but that cause God will gain on appeal. As for me, I am but a voice. Mankind is a mouth, of which I am the cry. You shall hear me! I am about to open before you, peers of England, the great assize of the people; of that sovereign who is the subject; of that criminal who is the judge. I am weighed down under the load of all that I have to say. Where am I to begin? I know not. I have gathered together, in the vast diffusion of suffering, my innumerable and scattered pleas. What am I to do with them now? They overwhelm me, and I must cast them to you in a confused mass. Did I foresee this? No. You are astonished. So am I. Yesterday I was a mountebank; to-day I am a peer. Deep play. Of whom? Of the Unknown. Let us all tremble. My lords, all the blue sky is for you. Of this immense universe you see but the sunshine. Believe me, it has its shadows. Amongst you I am called Lord Fermain Clancharlie; but my true name is one of poverty-Gwynplaine. I am a wretched thing carved out of the stuff of which the great are made, for such was the pleasure of a king. That is my history. Many amongst you knew my father. I knew him not. His connection with you was his feudal descent; his outlawry is the bond between him and me. What God willed was well. I was cast into the abyss. For what end? To search its depths. I am a diver, and I have brought back the pearl, truth. I speak, because I know. You shall hear me, my lords. I have seen, I have felt! Suffering is not a mere word, ye happy ones! Poverty I grew up in; winter has frozen me; hunger I have tasted; contempt I have suffered; pestilence I have undergone; shame I have drunk of. And I will vomit all these up before you, and this ejection of all misery shall sully your feet and flame about them. I hesitated before I allowed myself to be brought to the place where I now stand, because I have duties to others elsewhere, and my heart is not here. What passed within me has nothing to do with you. When the man whom you call Usher of the Black Rod came to seek me by order of the woman whom you call the Queen, the idea struck me for a moment that I would refuse to come. But it seemed to me that the hidden hand of God pressed me to the spot, and I obeyed. I felt that I must come amongst you. Why? Because of my rags of yesterday. It is to raise my voice among those who have eaten their fill that God mixed me up with the famished. Oh, have pity! Of this fatal world to which you believe yourselves to belong you know nothing. Placed so high, you are out of it. But I will tell you what it is. I have had experience enough. I come from beneath the pressure of your feet. I can tell you your weight. Oh, you who are masters, do you know what you are? do you see what you are doing? No. Oh, it is dreadful! One night, one night of storm, a little deserted child, an orphan alone in the immeasurable creation, I made my entrance into that darkness which you call society. The first thing that I saw was the law, under the form of a gibbet; the second was riches, your riches, under the form of a woman dead of cold and hunger; the third, the future, under the form of a child left to die; the fourth, goodness, truth, and justice, under the figure of a vagabond, whose sole friend and companion was a wolf."
I" had never seen this version. This was the most eye-opening version of the film?" Read the book and don't talk nonsense about the similarity, to the book....
I actually thought Quasimodo was smart because he was taught by Frollo but because he was isolated, he hasn’t developed the ability to show that intelligence.
His name was Richard Harris and he was planning to play Dumbledore in the third film but died of Hodgkin lymphoma before they started directing the film
This version came out after the Disney version and I can see a LOT of things that the two films have in common. This movie is like a live action combination of the book and the movie and it's pretty cool. This version's Quasimodo was all kinds of bad ass! I enjoyed this! Great film!
Well this movie is much darker for me wat attracts me to this is Esmeralda and quasi in Disney version pheobus , quasi and Esmeralda friendship is bond
The inner turmoil of Frolo was well captured by Richard Harris. He was on the brink of insanity believing that ridding himself of Esmeralda would rid him of the burning lust inside himself. He could only find peace by death, and maybe not even then as his soul would be forever damned by the murder he committed.
souls are not 'damned forever'. When we die we cease to exist - like a flame that goes out. We 'sleep' in God's memory, until the righteous and unrighteous are resurrected and judged. Then we live, or die 'the 2nd death' which is final. No loving God would torment anyone forever. That is one of many lies promoted by the catholic church - the bastion of false religion. Look it up in the Bible yourself. It's all there - the only truth.
jazzgirl232 When the Bible as we know it was completed - John finished Revelation by A.D. 100 - the Catholic Church had be around for 70-odd years, since Pentecost. In fact, John was a Catholic bishop, as were all apostrles. Trying to understand the Bible by yourself may lead you to error, no matter how clear a passage may seem to you. The Bible is a summary of the Church's teachings.
Jose Benigno Caceres Disagree - you should LOOK IT UP YOURSELF ! It's all there - clear as a bell. No need for anyone to 'guide' or sway - IT'S THERE. Note: Revelation is symbolic and one needs to know the rest of Bible to understand. But light gets brighter in ends days (per Bible) - so we understand Revelation too now. Catholic church is ghoulish and shameful. I was raised Catholic, went to Catholic school, and experienced the lies and cover ups first hand.
Susan Anderson what can I say? Sexual desire is a natural is natural ingrained condition of being human there are some people who accept it, some people embrace and display it, some people pervert it , some people deny it or supress it and then there are those (as in the case of the character Don Frollo) who can be made crazy by it. Lol
Really Quasimodo was the most beautiful person in Paris I felt such a kind gentle warm caring good man who would do anything to help those he cared for and those people are rare
The movie showed everyone of us face and uglyness is not a measure of Mans truthfulness and genuine love. Dispite of Quasimodos uglyness in his outer man, He is wise, smart and brilliant. He learned the wisdom of life from the book he read everyday in the library below. He is no ordinary man. Truly, he is deaf or lost his hearings but he can understand everyone that talked to him through the movement of the lips and eyes. Quasimodo also knows how to repay good deeds of others to him even his life as a payment. He already had Esmeralda on his side, in his room but he did not took the opportunity to grabbed her instead he showed his bieng a gentleman. His love for Esmeralda is far more deep than the wound on his side done by Father Don Frollo. He said to Esmeralda, " Its through deep, Not there but here" placing the hand of esmeralda deep in his heart. The most heartful and hurting words was when he uttered " WHY WAS I NOT MADE OF STONE LIKE THEE?", then calling one of his friend ( The churchs bell) 😢😢😢Marie............
So sad! I was sobbing so hard when he asked for water and everyone just called him a freak of nature. I hate how people like him, who are different, are branded freaks just because of it. If anything being different makes people special. And then of course, he died a tragic death while still believing the words of those monsters who branded him a freak. If I was there, I would have assured him he is still a beautiful human being... it's everyone else who's hideous.
agenttheater5 My dad always makes fun of that part. He thinks it's funny. When I tell him that I'm offended when he does that, he makes it out as though I'm being ridiculous for finding emotion in that scene. Like I'm being immature and irrational. Whatever, I guess. I find it rather emotional and tear jerking.
LovelyLies16 You are far from immature. As a matter of fact we learned yesterday in a Torah lesson that the mark of an immature person is one who can only feel his own pain, her own needs. The mature person has long ago recognized the fact that their own needs are not special and they instead look out for the needs of other people. Welcome to maturity.
Even though some of the scenes are missing yet I was delighted to see the movie once again,really a magnificent story about the stubbornness of the priesthood and the foolishness of the king,any how it’s a heart touching movie,great story
Interesting tidbit. Richard Harris plays the obsessed priest in this film. He has a son named Jared who also became an actor. There are two Sherlock Holmes movies currently playing on RUclips with Robert Downey Jr as Sherlock. Jared Harris is Moriarty. Richard and Jared are roughly close in age when the mentioned movies were filmed. I've been enjoying the family resemblance between father and son, both in their talent and their features.
The main message in this extraordonary film is ,never ever judge anyone according to external appearance but to judge only by the soul and the intellect for quasimoto was the truly most beautiful and intellectual person,and purest of soul.
I've forgotten how good this movie/story was. Something I read a few days ago reminded me of the famous, "SANCTUARY, SANCTUARY" call. I must watch this again. Thanks to whoever made this rerun possible.
For those saying you wish quasimodo was still alive to show him love, kind and friendship you can start now by showing all that to people who are like him in our today's society... God help me I wish to Show them love
I was busy raising children and running a business when this came out. Just watched it tonight . The cast and story line was excellent. Far surpasses Disney version, which I bought for my kids.
It's so painful to watch a man not like the others get hurt in every which way possible it hurts me so badly it's been stuck in my head for 3 days now ever since I watched this
That's what an actor is : being able to play the roles of both a fanatic evil priest and a wise old wizard and make both feel plausible and convincing. I never thought the man who played Dumbledore would make me feel disgusted in a different movie, but Richard Harris was a rare talent.
In real life, what really counts is the character of the person and not the physical attributes because good looks fades as one gets older.Quasimodo teaches us the value of kindness and love for others..
rustyasscrack I am not a man and nor a bisexual, but in defense of Susan Boyle, she seems like an interesting lady. She may not look like Heidi Klum or Helen of Troy, but she has intelligence. Not all beautiful faces has a very interesting mind. After the beauty fades, you will lose interest.
@Jill Teachout : Empathy only seems rare because those with empathy don't feel the need to force others into their beliefs. They already know what is right and what is wrong. Only those *without* empathy don't know the difference, but even then only on the surface. Somewhere inside they know that the hate and intolerance they feel is wrong, and so they are driven from within to constantly seek approval for their false beliefs.
Well i've just watched this and disney version (1996).. (couldn't find older ones, just pictures) But well.. all i can say is that the story itself is a masterpiece.. So old.. and at the same time.. so recent.. The bullying, preconcept, sin.. and all the --trama-- behind the story is absolutely breathtaking. Definitely a big thanks for the great upload!
Quasimodo may have been separated from the world by his ugliness and deformity, he may have been imprisoned in the cathedral from the moment of his infancy -- but "love" found even Quasimodo. As it finds all of us. The story line -- the acting -- all of it too heavy for mere commentary, too deep for mere words to convey what I think. My favorite part of the movie is where Quasimodo rescues Esmerelda from the gallows! Stunning! Memorable! Climatic! As to the video, it was a powerhouse of emotional impact that left me mesmerized from the first moment to the very last. Applause and a standing ovation for the actors -- Quasimodo, Esmerelda, and Frollo. But no matter how hard I clap for the performances of these actors, I could not over-state my praise. Thank you for this most unforgettable video post!
Hi Iam kinda confused ,I know it's been years that you have watched this but could you tell me (if you have read the book) if there is a difference between the book and this movie. I don't have the book here where I live ,so I am very curious.
@@aurorableta5502 There are many differences between the film and the book. Emerald, quasimodo and forllo die. Emerald loves Captain Phoebus who was excluded from the film and not Gringoire, but he is just a womanizer who does not care about her. Emeralda was caused to kill captain Phoebus who survived and not the minister. Esmeralda is kidnapped by Quasimodo by order of frollo, when he is arrested and punished, Esmeralda shows compassion for him.
Im about to watch this movie yesterday.. I watched little and i didnt finish it.. Then,early morning today, i saw in my fb newsfeed that notre dame cathedral was on fire... But still thankful because it says in the news that the altar is still intact.
This production, this masterpiece, is so Shakespearean in its grandeur. The bard would have applauded with all his heart, asked for the author's name, and gone to a tavern to get drunk with the actors . . . offered them roles in Hamlet, Richard III, Henry IV and Julius Caesar.
I viewed the movie as spiritually enlighten, that love has elements of compassion, fath, hope, and divine justice. Those that mankind judge as ugly have still a soul of good against evil . We can learn from that. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The eyes are the gateway to the soul to fined beauty if one can break the barriers of fear and judgement.
!!! Its like someone digging for gold or diamonds...must dig away the soil , run it through a sifter to find the jewels inside the earth. But you say "divine" and "soul" that would imply a perfect Infinite One G-D who brings together 2 "half" soul to unite as one. It sounds like you have found that or soon will.
The novel is actually my favorite book, its tragic and does a great job exploring characters. Just because Romeo and Juliet has a terribly sad ending doesn't mean its horrible and gruesome. I would love to see the actual story made into a movie, but this movie was great as an adaptation
Thank you for this upload. I have not seen Harris in this part and expect Hayek to turn in a marvelous performance. If anyone has the opportunity, do no miss the version with Charles Laughton in the role of Quasimodo. He could make the stones weep with pity. In my eyes, he remains the finest actor of all time, capable of stunningly powerful performances, but sadly, he was so fragile as a human being we have very little of him on film.

As a caregiver I see how people look at those who are different every day, my own disability is what people call invisible so I don’t face the crowd like them. I see them turned away, mocked and looked down on when in fact they love you and just want to know you. Many children don’t understand why others won’t play with them, thankfully my son being raised in such an environment sees these children for who they are, not their disability. He always knew their names, what class they were in and what they liked to play. They have feelings, many times it’s just a little more difficult sharing them. I wish more people listened Witt their hearts than their eyes.
Unfortunately, the world has always hated the ugly and the weirdos. Nevertheless, it's worth trying to not get freaked out by those who have some physical disability. On the contrary, we should welcome them as friends and try to have them as allies.
Besides Cuasimodo, Claudius, the roman emperor, was lame and a staterer. His own family despised him for being like that. However, he was such a brilliant historian; he reconstructed the entire Rome's history from the Monarchy period until the Reign of emperor Augustus with all kinds of crucial details. He was the only survivor of the Julius dynasty. But his most remarkable task was the conquest of Britain. He planned the entire campaign by himself.
This demonstrates that some may lack the physical abilities we all expect from everyone else, but their intellect is twice, or even thrice ahead of any normal person.
I'm a 15 years old girl, and I liked this movie, the book and the disney version. That's it. All beautiful. Thank you Victor Hugo for creating the story.
and now you are already 25 years old
Your feedback is much appreciated on the subject.
Please, see the 1938 version with Charles Laughton -- it is far superior.
The great author tried to tell us: The priest/father in the churches are just wolf covered by the sheep's coat; the king are just all cunning politicians; the foolish civilians are you and me; and the hunchback bellman and the beauty are the few of us with kindness and real wise. Our life is just like this drama.
Very well said
Absolutely Agree with your opinion !
Here here!
Alot like William Shakespeare says. Description the world as a stage.
Or like the workers are sheep the thinkers are dogs to lead and help the master and the master is the person who have both the abilities who uses workers and the thinkers
Richard Harris is brilliant as Frollo. He looks like he's prematurely aged, deprived of sleep and genuinely looks unsettling . His performance is what really sells it . There's an empty sadness to him which almost makes you feel sorry for him , that is until you realise he's acting purely out of desperation and lust , to the point of forsaking everyone else including his adopted son .
Only he is twice the age of book Frollo.
@@user-sf3fe4bh2q True , but it's something that more often than not is overlooked in the live adaptations. To be fair in the book Frollo is supposed to be in his 30's , but is often mistaken to be older due to prematurely balding and being sickly looking . The book hints he's not aged well .
That's Quasimodo's master.
Fri,kin stupid people
How would they like to be treated like that
And later he became Harry Potters Headmaster in Hogwarts😅
He is not ugly. And he has a beautiful soul. The French play with Garou as Quasimodo is brilliant as well!
the Sanctuary scene is probably my favorite scene ever captured. "At this sight the women laughed and cried; the crowd stamped with enthusiasm, for at that moment Quasimodo was really beautiful. Yes, he was beautiful- he, the orphan, that foundling, that outcast; he felt august and strong; he looked in the face that society from which he was banished, and in which he has so powerfully intervened.” (Hugo 323)
He was born in August?
@@macleatakirkwood8864 Now you're being corny
It shows that Quasimodo (kind hearted man) can reveal true justice. He came brave enough to show who really the evil is. Love and kindness can change the world.
The cast, the set, cinematography, costumes, soundtrack and editing was remarkable. Really captured the years it was intended to emulate. Brilliant
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of the few classics I missed reading, before getting into university, then a career, then parenthood, etc., etc. From the comments, I understand it is different from the book. In any case, it was better than any of the movies from 2010 onwards, that I have watched! Salma Hayek is such a hear throb, Richard Harris is menacing yet deserves sympathy like a child and Quasimodo is just brilliant!
Many thanks BardandQueen for this upload!
It was strangely touching how in the end Frollo seemed to truly care about Quasimodo. Asking whether he will forgive him now that he confessed and later his horrified face after he stabbed him. The movie might not be the best adaptation, but there are some truly great moments in this. Richard Harris as Frollo stole the show for me.
Shakespeare: "there's a dagger in every Man's smile"...
Which is the best one?
1. Never knew this existed 2. How does salma look exactly the same age today lol
Best movie
They changed alot and the characters the way we know of Victor Hugo's work
Some people just don't age. I mean hell, look at Morgan Freeman and Sam Elliot😂
In the book, esmeralda was 16 or 14 years old?
Factz lol just found this like last week
I cried in the end of this movie.
Quasimodo,s love for Esmeralda was one which didn't wish any reward.
How wicked that priest was!
Judge a man not by his looks, but by what is in his heart....
+LianGaminG XD you bet they are.
+ThulePrincess88 & that's most probably why you watched it. GROW UP man
+Dave Nye The heart of man is deceitful--even to himself.
+Dave Nye or whats between his legs
NOW--how can anyone judge a man a man by whats in his heart---??? How do you know
Whoever played Quasimodo is a really great actor! He played him so well! Hope he got an oscar or award for his acting in this!
🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥
The actor's name is Mandy Patinkin, he played Inigo Montoya in the Princess bride, he also did Criminal Minds and Homeland
He is an excellent actor, sad that never won an Oscar
He’s always been a great actor, in everything he’s in. Fun fact, he was originally cast to voice Quasimodo in the Disney version. He walked out due to creative differences with Disney studios.
FABULOUS PRODUCTION - it's over 60 yrs ago that I first saw this as a child was as mesmerised back then as I was watching this now. A master piece. Thank you. It didnt bother me that the ending was different to the original or the book it was still superb.
excellent rendition. quasimodo especially good. i cried. i especially liked how they depicted him as a knowledgeable man who read a lot of books.
How could people still unlike a masterpiece movie such as this. Magnificent story.
I remember when this first came out - I loved it then, and I love it just as much now...you can't take your eyes off of Selma, she's so beautiful - but it's Quasimodo who steals the show; this is my favorite portrayal of this iconic character on film...thank you for uploading it ;)
Excellent movie! Excellent writing, excellent cast! One of the best movie versions of a literary masterpiece!
The best is the 1938 version with Charles Laughton. It's in a different class.
Since I was young, I always found Quasimodo very handsome. He was my favourite man in Disney movie, and I loved his height since I was small too back then
Me too
Ah an 1831 classic! And in my opinion, one of Victor Hugo's finest works of literature! He dared to challenge small minded ideals and exalt morality and necessity for human rights in this and many of his literary masterpieces! Love it 👍
The playing of the Cathedral bells at 1:07:09 still gives me chills to this day. Such a gorgeous sound.
Yes if you hear the bells ringing you found peace
You should hear them for real so beautiful I was in Paris a few years ago and I stood in the square and heard them and overheard a few people mention the name Quasimodo
The Muslims burned it recently. The sound of it turning into ashes while Muslims disguised as immigrants are cheering for its destruction... That my friend, gives me chills up to this day.
Just once, I would like to see a movie version of this Victor Hugo story that ends the same as Hugo wrote it. In the novel, Esmeralda was executed and her body thrown down into a pauper's grave. After a good amount of time had passed, some passersby looked down into the large, round burial chamber and gazed at the skeletal remains of what appeared to be a female as if being embraced in the arms of what had to have been a grotesquely disfigured male. Ending the story with Quasimodo's act of joining Esmeralda in death is not a happy ending, but it is truly one of the most profoundly pure acts of love to be found in fiction.
Dwight Turner The 1956 French Italian version has the accurate ending. It stared Anthony Quinn and Gina Lollobrigida, and was shot in CinemaScope. It ends with the “intertwined in death” scene. I remember seeing the TV version at one time and it’s not a bad adaptation, though very 1950’s in feel. Worth finding. You can find it on the Internet in streaming sites if you google it.
The stage musical (best version imo) ends very similarly
@@josephcooper1928 To me still the best version.
Seeing the film version with Leslie-Ann Down as Esmeralda affected me in the same way.
I am thinking that the hunchback movie starring Gina Lollobrigida did have the ending you describe. (It has been a long time since I watched it, so I wasn’t sure.)
A happier ending than the book, although not a true adaptation, made me relieved. Quasimodo's crying out in pain in Notre Dame before Claude Frollo, after being given 50 whips was a really emotional moment for me.
This was the 1st time in my life I've ever watched this movie, and I'm sitting here wondering how that could be! This was an apsolut excellent movie. Thanks so much for sharing.🌹
Richard Harris is a phenomenal actor!!!
I like this one a lot not only because I can deeply relate to Quasi out of most of the disney protagonists, but also I really love the architecture and time they put into creating this work of art
One of my favs from my childhood. Can’t find good movies like this anymore thank you.
What an outstanding, beautiful, moving production, no matter how "close" to the book it is. If it were close, it would be totally priceless. P.S. And the way she dances... Gosh, the cameraman truly deserves an award, as everyone else. Thank you so much, Quenn, for uploading. I've never seen this movie before.
1:22:41-1:23:19--I love this bit. Frollo rants about desiring Esmeralda as if Quasimodo couldn't understand it and Quasimodo stops him in his tracks with, "Why do you think I do not know of such things?"
This is the only version, at least that I know of, that addresses this, that Quasimodo not only loves Esmeralda but also physically desires her. A nice touch, considering that people with disabilities/deformities are often stereotyped as not having such yearnings.
Definitely my favorite part of the movie. I think it really does describe how deep lust feels, and how tormenting love feels.
+xxJacket23xx It really does. It makes me wish someone would do a film version that was told from Quasimodo's point of view. His perception of the world, and how it changes, would be fascinating to see onscreen.
Plus, I just love Quasimodo. He'll always have a special spot in my heart. He was the first character I could really identify with. I've been visually impaired since birth and when the Disney version came out in theaters when I was eight, I was absolutely floored to see that someone different, like me, was not only the story's protagonist, but was a good guy, to boot. So often, characters with disabilities/deformities are their stories' bad guys (sorry, Erik, the Phantom of the Opera, I love ya, but it's true). But Quasimodo--he was kind, golden-hearted, a man of faith, AND he epically saves the day during the "Sanctuary!" scene. I could go on, but I think you get my point: Quasimodo is awesome and the world needs more characters like him.
+TheaterRaven You're right. There's a lot people need to understand when it comes to disabilities. I think Hunchback is seriously underrated (even when it comes to the Disney version). (I also agree with the Phantom thing too.) In an odd way, Frollo is my favorite character. Not because I admire him (far from it) but because he's "all things wrong disguised as good." I think it's an important lesson for people to learn. Sometimes you meet people that are like Frollo (hopefully in not so extreme circumstances).
+xxJacket23xx Agreed. I love stories like "Hunchback" and "Phantom" because they're amazing at illustrating people. Everyone can relate to the battles of good vs. evil, reality vs. illusions, etc.
Erik had his heart in the right place, but he went about trying to get what he wanted in the wrong way. To me, the story of "Phantom" is a cautionary tale to the world about judging people. It's a tale of a self-fulfilling prophecy where an innocent child becomes the monster society first perceived him to be. Not that grownup Erik is totally innocent, and he does get his redemption at the end, but still, it's a very sad story.
"Hunchback", while also sad, seems a bit more uplifting, given that Quasimodo stays true to himself and goodness for most of the story. I've found that with a lot of Victor Hugo's tales--"Hunchback". "Les Miserable", "The Man Who Laughs"--they all have this surprising combination of gibing hope for the future while depressing the heck out of the reader at the same time. It's a strange mix of storytelling, but if anyone could've pulled it off, it was Victor Hugo. The man was a genius.
+TheaterRaven Hugo never really states any physical desire for Esmeralda by Quasimodo. However, he is not incapable of physical attraction. Consider the scene in the novel in which Quasimodo watches Phoebus and Fleur de Lys kiss.
thank you thank you so very much for posting this. Been looking for this for 22 years! 🧡🧡🧡😍 This is an AMAZING version!
Never should we neglect anyone founnd in situaions like Quasimodo, God reigns in them. Thanks for posting, God bless you.
In the novel, Esmeralda has a number of choices among those who admire her, and each represents different qualities: Quasimodo has purity and spirituality, Gringoire is philosophical and has a sense of justice, Frollo has intellect, and Phoebus has great physical beauty (, which he uses to seduce women). Naturally, Esmeralda falls for Phoebus. Phoebus is much romanticized and his character flaws are cleaned up in the various film adaptations.
Hollywood does not see that Victor Hugo criticizes a choice based on physical beauty. He makes it clear in O home that he laughs, Dea is blind and lovers Gwynplaine for what he is.
Sad despite all the fuss for this gal, she is just a shallow tart who goes for a pretty face.
@@davidtppelin1011 Haven't read the full novel, yet, but as I have readed an abridged version of it with lots of tidbits about the Middle Ages in Paris, I always found Esmeralda stupid for choosing Phoebus and I kinda felt pity for Frollo.
@@sampeacaml9307 So many things are different in the book, and Esmeralda is not much of a heroine, or at least a true protagonist. But she isn't evil nor ill - meaning: she is just a very young, naive due to her lack of life experience, but ultimately innocent girl without much fault, and she dies tragically, though she isn't given really much agency even in her death by the narrator. Men around her lust after her, endanger and seduce her, yet none of these men, neither Phoebus nor Gringoire, truly love her, Quasimodo's care for her is actually the purest out of all the other men
@ygnit5793 I think even Quasimodo's love for her is fairly superficial. He's been abused all his life and she was the first person who was ever kind to him. He didn't actually know her.
If I met Quasimodo (if he was real) I'd watch over him and give him so much love he never had. God, I can't hold back the tears.
i agree with u, if quasi was real, I'd give him all my love and friendship, his looks don't bother me in the least
ladyeyeballz83 Yes, and whoever has a problem with Quasi's looks, needs to seek therapy.
+Mackenzie Ferry I agree with you they made him so sweet in this version I forgot how nice he was to everybody even to frollo
I agree with you, he's good friend and love. He such a great heart and angel. I should met him and I'd give him kind, love and friendship.
+Ingrid Calderon. I definitely agree with you, 100% :-) did you know in Paris there's a wax museum that has display of him
I'm sorry and have nothing to say. I red Victor Hugo's book when I was 15, but never had a opportunity to visit that place, nor ever watched a movie. I am going to watch it now. Goodbye Notre Dame :-(
I have never seen this version. It was the most eye opening version of this movie I have ever seen. Stuck close to history, unusual in and of itself, and I never knew Quasimoto was an intellect. Reminds me of someone else of great importance who died needlessly, because he wanted to do the right thing. Thusly, this is the course of history, and if the lesson is not learned, it shall be repeated. Sadly, taking the majority of people with it.
God.bless and thank you for sharing this exquisite version of the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
😎👍❤🙏🌹
Quasimodo in the novel was more innocent and was not so smart, they changed his character and he was not so nice until Esmeralda changed him when he showed kindness for him.
Gwynplaine from another book by the author was deformed, but much smarter and advocated social justice.
But I thought this change was cool.
The gwynplaine speech
"I am he who cometh out of the depths. My lords, you are great and rich. There lies your danger. You profit by the night; but beware! The dawn is all-powerful. You cannot prevail over it. It is coming. Nay! it is come. Within it is the day-spring of irresistible light. And who shall hinder that sling from hurling the sun into the sky? The sun I speak of is Right. You are Privilege. Tremble! The real master of the house is about to knock at the door. What is the father of Privilege? Chance. What is his son? Abuse. Neither Chance nor Abuse are abiding. For both a dark morrow is at hand. I am come to warn you. I am come to impeach your happiness. It is fashioned out of the misery of your neighbour. You have everything, and that everything is composed of the nothing of others. My lords, I am an advocate without hope, pleading a cause that is lost; but that cause God will gain on appeal. As for me, I am but a voice. Mankind is a mouth, of which I am the cry. You shall hear me! I am about to open before you, peers of England, the great assize of the people; of that sovereign who is the subject; of that criminal who is the judge. I am weighed down under the load of all that I have to say. Where am I to begin? I know not. I have gathered together, in the vast diffusion of suffering, my innumerable and scattered pleas. What am I to do with them now? They overwhelm me, and I must cast them to you in a confused mass. Did I foresee this? No. You are astonished. So am I. Yesterday I was a mountebank; to-day I am a peer. Deep play. Of whom? Of the Unknown. Let us all tremble. My lords, all the blue sky is for you. Of this immense universe you see but the sunshine. Believe me, it has its shadows. Amongst you I am called Lord Fermain Clancharlie; but my true name is one of poverty-Gwynplaine. I am a wretched thing carved out of the stuff of which the great are made, for such was the pleasure of a king. That is my history. Many amongst you knew my father. I knew him not. His connection with you was his feudal descent; his outlawry is the bond between him and me. What God willed was well. I was cast into the abyss. For what end? To search its depths. I am a diver, and I have brought back the pearl, truth. I speak, because I know. You shall hear me, my lords. I have seen, I have felt! Suffering is not a mere word, ye happy ones! Poverty I grew up in; winter has frozen me; hunger I have tasted; contempt I have suffered; pestilence I have undergone; shame I have drunk of. And I will vomit all these up before you, and this ejection of all misery shall sully your feet and flame about them. I hesitated before I allowed myself to be brought to the place where I now stand, because I have duties to others elsewhere, and my heart is not here. What passed within me has nothing to do with you. When the man whom you call Usher of the Black Rod came to seek me by order of the woman whom you call the Queen, the idea struck me for a moment that I would refuse to come. But it seemed to me that the hidden hand of God pressed me to the spot, and I obeyed. I felt that I must come amongst you. Why? Because of my rags of yesterday. It is to raise my voice among those who have eaten their fill that God mixed me up with the famished. Oh, have pity! Of this fatal world to which you believe yourselves to belong you know nothing. Placed so high, you are out of it. But I will tell you what it is. I have had experience enough. I come from beneath the pressure of your feet. I can tell you your weight. Oh, you who are masters, do you know what you are? do you see what you are doing? No. Oh, it is dreadful! One night, one night of storm, a little deserted child, an orphan alone in the immeasurable creation, I made my entrance into that darkness which you call society. The first thing that I saw was the law, under the form of a gibbet; the second was riches, your riches, under the form of a woman dead of cold and hunger; the third, the future, under the form of a child left to die; the fourth, goodness, truth, and justice, under the figure of a vagabond, whose sole friend and companion was a wolf."
Everyone has something to teach someone.
I" had never seen this version. This was the most eye-opening version of the film?"
Read the book and don't talk nonsense about the similarity, to the book....
I actually thought Quasimodo was smart because he was taught by Frollo but because he was isolated, he hasn’t developed the ability to show that intelligence.
Who? "Someone else of great importance"?
Fun fact: The actor of Claude Frollo played Dumbledore in the first 2 Harry Potter movies.
His name was Richard Harris and he was planning to play Dumbledore in the third film but died of Hodgkin lymphoma before they started directing the film
Richard Harris was a wonderful actor and singer. Believe it or not, the original version of the song MacArthur Park was done by him.
Yes, he was a very famous actor long before Harry Potter came along !
@@madkittyjoey70 That is a very interesting bit of trivia, I had no idea he sang that ! Thank you !
Damn really, big big time difference between those films
This version came out after the Disney version and I can see a LOT of things that the two films have in common. This movie is like a live action combination of the book and the movie and it's pretty cool. This version's Quasimodo was all kinds of bad ass! I enjoyed this! Great film!
I enjoyed too!Great film!
Well this movie is much darker for me wat attracts me to this is Esmeralda and quasi in Disney version pheobus , quasi and Esmeralda friendship is bond
Not the part when he was flagellated
Oh my!... it took me an hour to recognize Mandy Patinkin!!! He plays this role magnificently!
Super underrated actor
A powerful story of unconditional love
I haven't seen this since I was a kid. Thanks for putting this video up, I couldn't find it anywhere
this esmeralda is almost exact as the novel with a skirt of colors and beautiful, i love her
Jaime Antonio Castillo Chavez I think Selma Hayek is the perfect choice for Esmeralda!
Thank you for making this available. This is an epic performance.
i so cry cry... for beautiful compassion..thank you for upload.
Tied with the Disney version as my favorite adaptation of Hunchback of Notre Dame. Patinkin and Harris were fantastic playing Quasimodo and Frollo.
The inner turmoil of Frolo was well captured by Richard Harris. He was on the brink of insanity believing that ridding himself of Esmeralda would rid him of the burning lust inside himself. He could only find peace by death, and maybe not even then as his soul would be forever damned by the murder he committed.
souls are not 'damned forever'. When we die we cease to exist - like a flame that goes out. We 'sleep' in God's memory, until the righteous and unrighteous are resurrected and judged. Then we live, or die 'the 2nd death' which is final. No loving God would torment anyone forever. That is one of many lies promoted by the catholic church - the bastion of false religion. Look it up in the Bible yourself. It's all there - the only truth.
jazzgirl232 When the Bible as we know it was completed - John finished Revelation by A.D. 100 - the Catholic Church had be around for 70-odd years, since Pentecost. In fact, John was a Catholic bishop, as were all apostrles. Trying to understand the Bible by yourself may lead you to error, no matter how clear a passage may seem to you. The Bible is a summary of the Church's teachings.
Jose Benigno Caceres Disagree -
you should LOOK IT UP YOURSELF !
It's all there - clear as a bell. No need for anyone to 'guide' or sway - IT'S THERE. Note: Revelation is symbolic and one needs to know the rest of Bible to understand. But light gets brighter in ends days (per Bible) - so we understand Revelation too now.
Catholic church is ghoulish and shameful. I was raised Catholic, went to Catholic school, and experienced the lies and cover ups first hand.
Susan Anderson d
Susan Anderson what can I say? Sexual desire is a natural is natural ingrained condition of being human there are some people who accept it, some people embrace and display it, some people pervert it , some people deny it or supress it and then there are those (as in the case of the character Don Frollo) who can be made crazy by it. Lol
He was such a beautiful soul oh Lord he was so sweet even at heart
Really Quasimodo was the most beautiful person in Paris I felt such a kind gentle warm caring good man who would do anything to help those he cared for and those people are rare
The movie showed everyone of us face and uglyness is not a measure of Mans truthfulness and genuine love. Dispite of Quasimodos uglyness in his outer man, He is wise, smart and brilliant. He learned the wisdom of life from the book he read everyday in the library below. He is no ordinary man. Truly, he is deaf or lost his hearings but he can understand everyone that talked to him through the movement of the lips and eyes. Quasimodo also knows how to repay good deeds of others to him even his life as a payment. He already had Esmeralda on his side, in his room but he did not took the opportunity to grabbed her instead he showed his bieng a gentleman. His love for Esmeralda is far more deep than the wound on his side done by Father Don Frollo. He said to Esmeralda, " Its through deep, Not there but here" placing the hand of esmeralda deep in his heart. The most heartful and hurting words was when he uttered " WHY WAS I NOT MADE OF STONE LIKE THEE?", then calling one of his friend ( The churchs bell) 😢😢😢Marie............
So sad! I was sobbing so hard when he asked for water and everyone just called him a freak of nature. I hate how people like him, who are different, are branded freaks just because of it. If anything being different makes people special. And then of course, he died a tragic death while still believing the words of those monsters who branded him a freak. If I was there, I would have assured him he is still a beautiful human being... it's everyone else who's hideous.
I would have done the same
what about the part when he was sobbing because she'd given him water? That got to me!
agenttheater5 My dad always makes fun of that part. He thinks it's funny. When I tell him that I'm offended when he does that, he makes it out as though I'm being ridiculous for finding emotion in that scene. Like I'm being immature and irrational. Whatever, I guess. I find it rather emotional and tear jerking.
LovelyLies16 You are far from immature. As a matter of fact we learned yesterday in a Torah lesson that the mark of an immature person is one who can only feel his own pain, her own needs. The mature person has long ago recognized the fact that their own needs are not special and they instead look out for the needs of other people. Welcome to maturity.
LovelyLies16 ur a great person no offense ur dad is an idiot
Too terrible to miss such classic for a long. Thanks for keeping us entertained during the lock down of COVID 19. 👍🃏💔
Even though some of the scenes are missing yet I was delighted to see the movie once again,really a magnificent story about the stubbornness of the priesthood and the foolishness of the king,any how it’s a heart touching movie,great story
5:03 Salema Hayek when she dances 😍😍
Interesting tidbit. Richard Harris plays the obsessed priest in this film. He has a son named Jared who also became an actor. There are two Sherlock Holmes movies currently playing on RUclips with Robert Downey Jr as Sherlock. Jared Harris is Moriarty. Richard and Jared are roughly close in age when the mentioned movies were filmed. I've been enjoying the family resemblance between father and son, both in their talent and their features.
*I regret watching this Masterpiece after so many years! Such a gem 💎.*
Whoever uploaded this film thank you for making my day
Appreciating this movie in July 2019.😍
i always wanted to watch this movie as a child and now i am 23 and still enjoying every bit of it
Such a beautiful movie. The dialogue touched my heart! I cried at the end! 😭😭😭
thank you, I've never seen this movie, so many years, I've heard about it! thanks again.
The main message in this extraordonary film is ,never ever judge anyone according to external appearance but to judge only by the soul and the intellect for quasimoto was the truly most beautiful and intellectual person,and purest of soul.
I've forgotten how good this movie/story was. Something I read a few days ago reminded me of the famous, "SANCTUARY, SANCTUARY" call. I must watch this again. Thanks to whoever made this rerun possible.
The call was actually the word "asylum "
One of the most captivating movies I have ever seen. It grips you from start to finish.....very emotional story
Thanks for the upload. I really appreciate it. I love this movie
Thank you! Such a beautiful masterpiece I can't think of any words to define it.
I've been looking for this particular version of this movie for years. I read Victor Hugo's book and it was wonderful.
My heart always breaks for poor Quasimodo
On an unrelated note, Edward Atterton is sooo handsome and lovely in this movie ❤️
Who's watching Sept 2019?
December 2019 ❄️
For those saying you wish quasimodo was still alive to show him love, kind and friendship you can start now by showing all that to people who are like him in our today's society... God help me I wish to Show them love
Idk if you'll see this but you're absolutely right! 4 years later and it's more true than ever! ❤
I was busy raising children and running a business when this came out. Just watched it tonight . The cast and story line was excellent. Far surpasses Disney version, which I bought for my kids.
You should watch the musical adaptation of the Disney movie, it has closer to the original ending
With all Star cast, its got to be Good movie!!! Worth a popcorn and cold drinks to watch!!! 🎥👌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It's so painful to watch a man not like the others get hurt in every which way possible it hurts me so badly it's been stuck in my head for 3 days now ever since I watched this
That's what an actor is : being able to play the roles of both a fanatic evil priest and a wise old wizard and make both feel plausible and convincing. I never thought the man who played Dumbledore would make me feel disgusted in a different movie, but Richard Harris was a rare talent.
Etain82 i
Richard Harris certainly thought so...(ROFL)
In real life, what really counts is the character of the person and not the physical attributes because good looks fades as one gets older.Quasimodo teaches us the value of kindness and love for others..
rustyasscrack I am not a man and nor a bisexual, but in defense of Susan Boyle, she seems like an interesting lady. She may not look like Heidi Klum or Helen of Troy, but she has intelligence. Not all beautiful faces has a very interesting mind. After the beauty fades, you will lose interest.
How could you dislike this movie... it was amazing
I love 💘this movie! I hope it's on RUclips FOREVER
I actually cried when they humiliated quazmodo and he starts crying after
You will also cry during that scene in two other productions - Lon Chaney and Charles Laughton.
Empathy. It’s rare these days.
Me too
@Jill Teachout : Empathy only seems rare because those with empathy don't feel the need to force others into their beliefs. They already know what is right and what is wrong. Only those *without* empathy don't know the difference, but even then only on the surface. Somewhere inside they know that the hate and intolerance they feel is wrong, and so they are driven from within to constantly seek approval for their false beliefs.
Well that’s the kind of generation we live in.
Damn, when I first watched this I was like 8 and was looking for the Disney movie...... that was a slap in the face. But it is a really good film.
Awww poor little guy :(
I was a sophomore in high school when I first saw this movie! So sad! :'(
The oldest comments was 6yrs ago and I just watch it Aug . 31st 2019
Mad At U.......add me to that list brother or sister.
Me too the same day but never be too late 😎
I AM WATCHING RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT SEPTEMBER 2,2019
Well i've just watched this and disney version (1996).. (couldn't find older ones, just pictures)
But well.. all i can say is that the story itself is a masterpiece..
So old.. and at the same time.. so recent..
The bullying, preconcept, sin.. and all the --trama-- behind the story is absolutely breathtaking. Definitely a big thanks for the great upload!
Quasimodo may have been separated from the world by his ugliness and deformity, he may have been imprisoned in the cathedral from the moment of his infancy -- but "love" found even Quasimodo. As it finds all of us.
The story line -- the acting -- all of it too heavy for mere commentary, too deep for mere words to convey what I think. My favorite part of the movie is where Quasimodo rescues Esmerelda from the gallows! Stunning! Memorable! Climatic!
As to the video, it was a powerhouse of emotional impact that left me mesmerized from the first moment to the very last. Applause and a standing ovation for the actors -- Quasimodo, Esmerelda, and Frollo.
But no matter how hard I clap for the performances of these actors, I could not over-state my praise.
Thank you for this most unforgettable video post!
Hi Iam kinda confused ,I know it's been years that you have watched this but could you tell me (if you have read the book) if there is a difference between the book and this movie.
I don't have the book here where I live ,so I am very curious.
@@aurorableta5502 There are many differences between the film and the book.
Emerald, quasimodo and forllo die. Emerald loves Captain Phoebus who was excluded from the film and not Gringoire, but he is just a womanizer who does not care about her.
Emeralda was caused to kill captain Phoebus who survived and not the minister.
Esmeralda is kidnapped by Quasimodo by order of frollo, when he is arrested and punished, Esmeralda shows compassion for him.
@@nastasyafilippovna6279 ohhh I see ,thank you
I cried😢😢
Thank you for uplodling of movie ❤❤
Im about to watch this movie yesterday.. I watched little and i didnt finish it.. Then,early morning today, i saw in my fb newsfeed that notre dame cathedral was on fire... But still thankful because it says in the news that the altar is still intact.
This is such a compelling story. They don't make them like they used to! Bravo!
This production, this masterpiece, is so Shakespearean in its grandeur. The bard would have applauded with all his heart, asked for the author's name, and gone to a tavern to get drunk with the actors . . . offered them roles in Hamlet, Richard III, Henry IV and Julius Caesar.
2019 to 2020 everyone? °^°

This is one of my favorite stories. I need to read the book.
The book is full of interested details it's better than the movie
I wanna say that esmeralda is a true beauty at this movie.
Very Very Very High Performance ! An Extraordinary Movie ! Congratulations to the whole Crew ! Wonderful ! Thank You !
I viewed the movie as spiritually enlighten, that love has elements of compassion, fath, hope, and divine justice. Those that mankind judge as ugly have still a soul of good against evil . We can learn from that. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The eyes are the gateway to the soul to fined beauty if one can break the barriers of fear and judgement.
!!! Its like someone digging for gold or diamonds...must dig away the soil , run it through a sifter to find the jewels inside the earth. But you say "divine" and "soul" that would imply a perfect Infinite One G-D who brings together 2 "half" soul to unite as one. It sounds like you have found that or soon will.
Beautifully said!
Lynn Duchane amen. Best comment I’ve read on this thread, especially about fear and judgment. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The crying baby deserves an Oscar.
Yup
holy hell that baby made me retch but your comment made me wheeze. thank you.
Thank you for posting this. Thank you thank you thank you.
Cant hold back my tears, a very touching movie.
The novel is actually my favorite book, its tragic and does a great job exploring characters. Just because Romeo and Juliet has a terribly sad ending doesn't mean its horrible and gruesome. I would love to see the actual story made into a movie, but this movie was great as an adaptation
Salma looks amazing as Esmeralda. Even I'm hypnotized.
Yeah this was made when she was good looking
@@joebloggs5318 She's an old crone now. Tragic!
She was perfect for this role.
@@jessicaabbott10 Hello Dear
She's a very beautiful woman here!
The house of God is a sanctuary for all 🙏
When the baby cries it breaks my heart.
Thank you for this upload. I have not seen Harris in this part and expect Hayek to turn in a marvelous performance. If anyone has the opportunity, do no miss the version with Charles Laughton in the role of Quasimodo. He could make the stones weep with pity. In my eyes, he remains the finest actor of all time, capable of stunningly powerful performances, but sadly, he was so fragile as a human being we have very little of him on film.
That was first live action movie of hunchback I seen and it ripped my heart out I cried buckets he was brilliant as Quasimodo

Definitely. That performance ranks as a 5 hanky.
