The idea that today we would not call Alex 'crazy' or the 'villain' is just so indicative with what's wrong with 'today'.
The only thing they showed in the movie about why Alex’s character was so disturbed was when Dan went into her Apartment and got into the papers that showed how her father had died.
She also said she had a bad miscarriage the year before and mentioned married men being the most interesting. I don’t think Dan was her first victim.
Exactly. And that article said something about multiple affairs. So I immediately joined the dots and thought she was trying to take some revenge or get some catharsis from punishing other men (or another man) who is happy to have a casual affair. Perhaps I inferred that her home life was bad because her parents were not solid. Something like that.
It makes sense of her taking the kid to the fair, it doesn’t make sense of her murdering the kid’s pet.
she was psyhco plain and simple lol
That character WAS CRAZY!!!
Spoken like a true Trumpublican there Karen!
I mean I get it you wanna dig deep into the characters past and she is a sympathetic character but the fact was she was crazy no matter how you slice it she was nuts.
Hollywood ambition trumps ethics.
Another thing Warning if someone slits there wrists CALL AN Ambulance xx Don't try and hide the fact you had an affair and leave your family in danger XXX Own up to it
At first I thought Alex was crazy but it was Dan who made her into what she became. They were both victims of our sad and silly human condition.
Dan didn't make her that way; that was Glenn Close's problem with the altered ending. Alex was a complicated character with (most likely) abuse and abandonment in her past. She is representative of someone with BPD (borderline personality disorder), which is a disorder hallmarked by chaotic, destructive, and intense relationships, fear of abandonment, addiction, violent outbursts, and self-destructive behavior. She was an unwell woman, triggered by the affair and his rejection of her.
No, she already had borderline personality disorder, long before Dan came along.
@@amycaitlyn1120Beautifully put.
@@sds6303 They did a remake of sorts about Fatal Attraction - with Josh Jackson as Dan and Lizzy Caplan as Alex. It was a mini-series; it wasn't that great lol, but it did delve into Alex's past to help explain her psychology, which I think was helpful.
I think a hole bunch of people, who are informed about mental health, trauma, emotions, gender dynamics, social and feminist issues, do not experience any catharsis with the final ending today (as it was the case with me). The story is a story about a man who literally f*cks around and does not want to take responsibility for his actions and the damage he has done to both women, Alex and his wife. As Alex says it in the movie, he was not thinking about anybody else but himself when he started the affair. The original ending would have been psychologically way more logical. However, in both cases a dark secret lingers over Dan's family in the end because of what he did. The catharsis of the audience in the test viewing could only happen because the audience sympathized with the man as we all are programmed to do by the patriarchy. No empathy left for the damaged woman along the way. Alex, in her metaphorical depiction as medusa, was trying to hold him accountable. As a human, she was deeply lonely and as the movie hints at, never processed the abandonment by her father when he died.
She came back from the dead to exact her revenge, that do be pretty cwazy
I think there should be Trigger warnings all over xx I think Glenn's right in real life the person would probably end up hurting themselves not to mention she was pregnant with his child XXX But he did offer to pay for the abortion like a REAL man xx
Bunny boilers aren't human...
Glen close is legendary in 101 Dalmatians.
I think movies shouldn't show scenes where a suicide or a very cruel murder or cruel violence happen to a character or a people. The horror movies at least the ones I have seen haven't shown such explicit violence and gore we can see in some 'plain' drama movies that are in many instances given awards too. Movies are images that somehow convey mostly exaggerated material through symbols and nuances which may affect minds. There are several examples critics can show you to prove this point. Tragedies are okay for reading because reading is different than watching moving, almost live, images.
In some regions, where people handle this beautiful art of moviemaking for base purposes, it's proven very disastrous. Uninterrupted hours of watching content that would not have any credit as art did damage to communities, who, unfortunately, got no real education to ask for good healthy movies either.
My idea of good filmmaking is surely being done in Hollywood. What we call blockbusters are enough to an ordinary mind to get a healthy entertainment. Yes there's lot of politics in the blockbusters too. But I don't think they could do much harm to an ordinary commoner, for I believe that even the Hollywood movies couldn't influence the way a man or woman must react in important turns and trials of their lives. Movies are movies. Movies couldn't be religion. Hollywood movies are for decent, educated persons who can see the real from reel.
Amber Heard has taking some notes from that movie
💀💀💀 another crazy lady
Geezus her 'loss' and Cher's 'win' lmao is uh...becoming more and more CRINGE (& one of the biggest Oscar F ups) of the last 40+ yrs. vs how most felt at the time! Today, would be ALL about *what made her become that person, the red flags about HER emotional state. Her subtlety, non verbal esp. when Michael Douglas is opening up to her and emotionally, connecting etc.. all masterclass acting.
Back then, this was all still soo new and the GP '80s era dolts just looked at Alex as this sci fi- Friday the 13th-esque/crazy biatch villainous who needed to pay! & 'go down' like..a Jason or Freddy Krugar . OG ending was the ONE (realistic) but Hollywood needed that more 'entertaining' but meh plan b ending.
Nope. DAN was a raging a-hole and Alex (yes, went too far) but more than ever Dan created and enabled/ fcked up the already verry unwell 'monster'.
Both performances were great but Cher got the Oscar and was incredible in Moonstruck. Deal with it.
Love fatal attraction but Alex character was nuts
I believe that was the point.
One of the most misogynistic movies ever made.
