"Enough." Tourvel either didn't believe him because she was lied to the whole time and this was him continuing to torment her till she died or that she did believe him but it was too late to do anything about it. Either way...it's heartbreaking.
or she just wanted to die to be with him. forgiving him and proving she could not live without him. that is how I first interpreted the scene on gut instinct. or maybe I just wanted that ending.
No i read the book in French though , in the book it's mentioned that she hears someone saying that Valmont died , she couldn't stand the pain and she starts praying for him for a while to god begging him to forgive valmont for what he has done to her and then she died , i think in this scene she knew that valmont died confessing that he truly loved her, she couldn't hear more , it was much stronger than her , she finished by giving up
Michelle Pfeiffer’s beauty and goodness were ethereal in this film. The way they treated her reminds me of the way the Windsor family treated Princess Diana, and how they also sealed her doom in the same way.
the late Princess Diana brought a good portion of that upon herself; especially in light of how she used the press to cast her as the innocent, doe-eyed, quasi-virgin sacrificed to the whims, wishes and wills of the Windsors; an image which never would allow then Prince Charles to have any redemption. Diana would always be the woman scorned and cast aside, never mind that she was actually the first one to have an affair and made NO attempt to do anything to ingratiate herself to Charles. What's worse, she used her children as a weapon against him and went so far as to try to force Charles out of his birthright (as king) in favor of William; ignoring that it was Charles who agreed and was more than accommodating to the terms of the Divorce, that she maintain her residence at Kensington Palace, to move her Office from St. James to Kensington Palace and to maintain this (meaning he would perpetually assume financial responsibility for-- meaning, he was paying for this quasi PR firm), provide for more than L15 Million settlement and allowed her joint custody of the children. What she could not have is her title or act in an any official capacity as a Royal She was now an ex-Royal and also what she could not do is blab to the press. While Diana NEVER kept that portion of the agreement, it was then that Prince Charles put his foot down that he would no longer tolerate this constant running tales to the press, and with the serious blunder made regarding her official announcement (which brought a curt but VERY rebuttal by the Queen herself), made it clear Diana no longer called the shots and the matter was settled. If then Prince Charles were as heartless and unfeeling and cruel as depicted by Princess Diana, he could have destroyed her as he truly was the Heir Apparent and Diana actually went against the terms that were approved by the Queen, but he did not do so because she was and would always be the mother of his children (although Harry's paternity was always in question, but was accepted by Prince Charles as his own.. he never questioned it). He could have hung her out to dry but didn't.. and ironically, neither did Camilla. She actually viewed Diana as needing help and felt sorry for her, even as Diana would harass her and call her residence constantly. Diana was NEVER a victim. She was immature, spoiled and only trained to "snag a Royal" but never trained in what to do when she got him. And even WHEN she got the "top job" she REFUSED any advice (including that of her own grandmother) to better herself intellectually. She didn't "get it' until AFTER her divorce. Tragically for her and for us, it was a little too late.
I was seduced by John Malkovich in this film. I found him enchanting. He’s not even my type in looks but damn he sold me on it. Even his FWB thing. I found myself wanting him. It is a beautiful film. I adore how they did this, it was fabulously done.
@@susivarga7303 yes? It’s impossible. Hello? 18th century France, forced to be catholic, cant get divorced. Tourvel is married so adultry is her only option. She’ll never be able to marry him unless she’s a widow.
@@lilMissF0F0 those were arranged marriages and finding love outside of marriage was a normal thing. That's why I never understood why Anna Karenina throws herself under the train. Her husband even gave her permission to have a lover but to be more discreet.

Kudos to Keanu for not letting the spectre of Ted "Theodore" Logan linger over him. He became Kevin Lomax (The Devil's Advocate), John Wick, Neo, and so on.
The fact that people are actually attracted to manipulative and sadistic people is very tragic I was sad he died so easily he deserves so much worse for the lives he and ruined. There is a special plays in hell for people like these. And the woman too.
I generally prefer to watch movies in their original version but they made a fantastic dubbing work on this one. They tried to use the expressions and vocabulary that were en vogue among the french nobility during the XVIIIth century. So, Valmont's death scene translates (from memory) : "J'aimerais que vous parveniez de quelque façon à rendre visite à Mme de Tourvel. -Je crois qu'elle est très malade. -C'est pourquoi cela m'importe tant. J'aimerais que vous lui disiez que je ne saurais expliquer par quelle aberration je l'ai quittée. Depuis cet acte insensé, mon existence a perdu sa raison d'être. J'ai plongé l'épée plus loin que vous ne l'avez fait, Monsieur. Aidez-moi à ôter cette lame de mon coeur."
C'est Christopher Hampton qui s'est chargé des dialogues. C'est un dramaturge anglais qui parle parfaitement français. Le scénario du film est tiré de sa pièce "The Dangerous Liaisons" qui était la première adaptation du roman de Laclos, mais pour le Théâtre. Il a fait un travail remarquable, je suis bien d'accord avec vous.
This film is a masterpiece, but part of me likes that in Cruel Intentions, the counterparts to Madame de Tourvel and Cecile were not destroyed by the games.
The friend I'm in hopelessly in love with for 14 years, the only man I've ever been with, just told me he's thinking about getting divorced and he has met someone. I can't describe how broken I am.
Molto commovente la scena finale il visconte capisce l amore vero il rimorso lo tormenta e si fa ammazzare forse non se lo aspetttava neanche lui che avrebbe conosciuto l amore vero quello puro passionale ma ormai era troppo tardi per rimettere le cose a posto film molto bello ma finale molto drammatico
This movie is a 'tough act' to follow, but I suggest the BBC adaption of 'Pride and Prejudice' (TV-series) with Colin Firth from 1995 perhaps. Also 'Brideshead Revisited' (TV-series) from 1981, 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' (Movie) from 1982, and 'Return to Eden' from 1983, I believe "had it all".
Well his Aunt had a conversation with her about men and women loving differently women only experience the happiness they give she said so was the expectation she would be happy and cured in knowing her suffering made him happy? He likely only sent that message for selfish reasons also to ease his own conscious as he died. He preyed on like a predator and left her for dead nothing really romantic about it. Were she less naive she would have been glad to be rid of him when she learned the truth not be his source narcissistic fuel.
I love this movie ..I bought it yrs ago . Glad i did sometimes they stop printing them and you can't get it . I waNt another copy of miss potter I can't find it . The ending in this movie is far from a Happy one .. my movie will end this way ..lol
"Tell her that her love was the only real happiness I've ever known" was probably not relayed by Danceny to Madame de Tourvel as she interrupted him to say "That's enough."
All things considered, in my opinion the movie Valmont was superior to Dangerous Liasons. Colin Firth was far and away better in the role of Valmont than John Malkovich. Glenn Close and Annette Bening were equally matched with different strengths and points of view and the same for Michelle Pfeiffer and Meg Tilly. Both Fairuza Balk and Henry Thomas were better as the young lovers and more believable than Uma Thurman and Keanu Reeves. All other roles were equally matched. Each script had some stronger writing and scenes than the other. All in all, mainly due to the male leads, I prefer Valmont.
So far I’ve seen 3 versions of Valmont in film. The one with Colin Firth, the Chinese one, and Cruel Intentions. For some reason, Annnette Benning spread eagled in bed, was the most haunting. 🫣 I wonder what’s in this one. But I only wanted to say, I prefer Colin Firth as Valmont too. Maybe because I loved him first as Mr. Darcy x2. 😁💕
Valmont (John Malkovich's character) kept all the letters that Glenn Close's character (Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil) sent to him and as he was dying he gave them to Keanu Reeve's character (Chevalier Danceny) to read. Valmont also told Danceny that he many decide to circulate the letters, which he clearly did. By the night of the opera everyone in high society in Paris knew of her cruel and vindictive machinations, hence, they turned on her and boo'd her at the opera.
Valmont saved all the letters between he and Isabelle which proved what they had both done. Valmont told Danceny to circulate the letters. He did so and Isabelle’s reputation was destroyed.
It is Close who carries the film. Pfeiffer is far too knowing to play an innocent, and Malkovich not manly enough to be a manipulating roue. God knows why Reeves, albeit pretty but with very limited acting skills, was offered the part. Embarassing, really.
@@audreyeager1377 ...I'm not talking about his malevolence, which Malkovich can certainly convey, but rather his inability, as I commented before, to portray a manipulating roue. Malkovich, for all of his very fine qualities, has such an odd sexless quality about him.
This movie of all movies is the best casting. The actors did a great job portraying the characters. And no colour diversity that distract you from how 18th century French society really was. Even the servants accents were different than their employers indicating the different education and background they come from. I could comment on the looks such as Glenn Close who is not a beauty queen as how the marquise was described, Malkovich wasnt a super handsome actor that can easily swoon girls, Umma looked much older than her character, however, the great acting made me put away all these minor comments. And from what I have seen in real life? Heart breakers such as the marquise and the vicomte were not always the hottest ones. They could be average beauty but super manipulative. And sometimes the super gorgeous people I know are mostly the heart broken ones lol. Here’s why I felt the looks was not enough, its the acting that will do.
"Tell her that her love was the only real happiness I've ever known" breaks my heart every time.
Catinkontti the music is perfect here, too....
Mine too...and the music in the background is gorgeous.

He's narcisistic. Narcisistics take love for granted and harm who they love.
