- Claire Wellington: "All I wanted was a better world... where men were men and women were cherished and loved!
... a world of romance and beauty... of tuxedos and chiffon.. a perfect world..."
The way she says 'ugly' is so powerful. What an absolute treasure Glenn is.
It’s music to my ears . She’s such a delight
The way she switched her tone 😂😂
“DOES ANYONE HAVE A SCREWDRIVER?!?!?!?!” Lmao 😂
She’s nuts.
@@E.JayViera a major screw loose
@@dwaugh2215 Bobbie: *She’s Nuts…*
Where would people NEVER notice a town FULL of robots......... CONNECTICUT!!!! Bahahahahha!!!!!
I live in CT, she’s not wrong. No one would notice.
I'm not American haha what does it mean? Like why would people never notice a town full of robots in Connecticut?
@@Amanda-qx9wm Maybe Connecticut is predominantly White Anglo Saxon Protestant. Also the private schools are all there, apparently.
@@Amanda-qx9wm White, middle-class people can oftentimes behave like robots in the US 😛 Connecticut has a lot of people like that
As a black man who lived in CT for ten years I resent this but don’t entirely disagree 😤😓
Glenn Close is such an amazing actress, that scene got to me when she said " my brilliant, blond, 21 year old research assistant". It's like you really do feel her pain with every word that she said.
It crazy that Glen Close was the first choice for lead role in 1975. She turned it down. Now she is here being the villain
That’s wild! I didn’t even know that.
This ending completely surprised me the first time I saw the movie. One of the best plot twist I've ever seen.
I love Nicole's accent peaking through when she says "but you're married to a robot..."
Even though this is a parody, Nicole unironically looks so beautiful here; like a Disney princess come to life. In fact all of the women are beautifully dressed; Glen's dress and tiara are gorgeous too.
Finally, someone talks about the dreses.
Glenn’s yellow dress is so gorgeous. The small pleats make it extremely cute.
I know I literally want this look like it’s so pretty fuckkk
"Are you a person or a robot? IMMALADY!!!" LMAO This scene is equivalent to the electric chair scene in the Addams Family Values movie with Debbie gilinski. I love it. X)
Don't I deserve love? And jewelry?
Same screenwriter
So she kills her husband and her research assistant because she snapped when seeing them having an affair. When she went to go recreate a new world along with her robot husband Mike, robot Mike is flirting with Joanna when thinking she was a robot. So Mr. Perfect man was not Mr. Perfect at all. What a waste of making a robot when he's just going to cheat on you. Although in the process Joanna did Claire huge favor when knocking his head off where no matter how you create the perfect man, it'll backfire on you.
seems like she tried to make robot Mike too close in personality to human Mike...
Claire really did a nutty bitchy move for her to do the women.
Claire really did a nutty bitchy move for her to do that to the women.
Love this movie. So many people consider it a disaster, even some of the cast and crew, but I enjoy it a lot. And Glenn Close can play crazy like no other.
like who of the cast and crew?
@@calliefinck6275 both Matthew Broderick and Nicole Kidman have said that they didn't enjoy filming Stepford Wives IIRC
Why
Yeah, the twist was also brilliant.
It was funny. I loved the deleted scenes with Bobbie being a lawn mower, hysterical!
"this movie is boring".....
.... That's what i told myself when i watched it 19 years ago. I was young and was just seeking entertainment. But i watched this few years ago.. I was crying. I felt her pain.. And the way Glen Close delivered her lines... She deserves an award for that. ❤❤❤❤
I love that....the guys realising that all this time they were in fact played by a woman......
She's a sociopath who can't face reality
All the more embarrassing for them then - they were played by a robot and a crazy woman and they were too stupid to get suspicious. @@gracestenberg4188
Heh, but they subscribed to that life willingly.
They got what they deserved. Or at least a bruised ego.
"It's nature, baby." =.=
@milster not anymore. Get you a Real Doll, loser.
@milster Yeah, and that's wishing you and your Real Doll many, many years of happiness.
XD
Stay "blessed".
“BACK OFF!!!” (Killing mode)
“Sorry.” (moving away)
Lolololololo
As a woman, I feel that the remake worked better because it showed that in a lot of ways, the book was not only sexist in its treatment of women but of the men too by assuming that all men wanted the same thing out of their wives, girlfriends, etc. It stereotyped the men just as much as it stereotyped the women and this movie breaks that mold when Walter shows his strength and love for Joanna by choosing not to change her even though they were struggling in their marriage due to her breakdown.
Very well said. I'm surprised this comment doesn't have more likes.
Lol. "As a woman". Uh. What does ur gender have to do with anything?
The original movie was good tho. Book too. Quit being sensitive & political u people are weird as hell. Lots of old books are sexist and out of date/touch. Its old. Times and ideas change.
You gonna act like every old thing with old fashioned ways of thinking regarding politics & social commentary is inherently bad or inferior because of it?
Women like you are the reason women are given the stereotype of being whiny over sensitive nit picky pretentious cry babies.
And this is "coming from a woman".
@@adriantucker5532 I was giving my perspective on it. If you disagree, fine. No skin off my nose. And the reason I added 'As a woman' is because a lot of times people will make an assumption about someone based on their comments. Even with the addendum, you make the assumption that I'm being sensitive and political when I was merely stating what I felt worked in the remake over the the original and why.
Most men secretly want this.
@@adriantucker5532 Adrian, you sound like the sensitive one here. Imagine getting upset over *a woman* giving her perspective on the movie from her viewpoint as a woman.
I remember watching this for the first time, I almost got teary-eyed, Glenn Close was Perfect for this role.😢🙂
I just watched this the other day and I got teary-eyed too! I knew I shouldn't have since she was crazy but the reason she did and the reason she was tipped of the edge was just a little to heartbreaking.
@@tattooedbeauty6557 Yeah, It's Like that Tim Burton Batman Vibe. It's Like, You know They're Bad, but They Didn't Want To Be. That's Why She's In My Top 5 Favorite Actresses. 🙂📋
Despite the differences between the Original and the Remake i honestly love this ending more. It has a plot twist no one saw coming and Glenn Close gives what could be the summarized of the over stressed Modern woman going insane from the pressures of society forcing women to take every role on at once. Despite the comical tones the movie does show what happens when someone (man or woman) tries to take on so many roles at once it warps them to the point where they can't identify themselves anymore. Sure living single role can be stressful to but their has to be a balance of expectation versus ability. Society demands women in modern day take on so many roles at once being a modern woman, a married woman, a mother, a sex goddess and it an do veritable psychological damage the same way how men try to take on so many roles as men. How men have to be the upstanding gentleman, the husband, the fixer, the role model, the female sex desire and it too can have consequences. It just goes to show you when we try to take on all these roles at once were bound to tire ourselves out and do something we might regret. So heres in hoping we find someone to share those roles with or maybe find a way to balance ourselves.
And that’s why a healthy relationship needs to be important.
decusq a-hem, at the same time this version is utter utter SHIT. The original is better, more of a terrifying atmosphere given the story. Not THIS Inspector Gadget-style bullshit.
@@MrRickster83 - I disagree. The original was subversive bull that got a pass at the time because third wave feminism hadn't yet arrived and men could identify with the unhappy feminist wife as a possible extra sex partner in the sexual revolution going on at the time.
There was no Internet to point out how brutally anti-male, anti-family and anti-woman (80% aren't feminists), the original was. It was also for lower IQ people than the remake.
Take for instance how, in the original, the fact that the dorky drugstore millionaire was able to enjoy lots of sex with a gorgeous wife, caused the two meddling feminist shrews to conclude that something was very, very wrong with the local community!!
Do you want to live in a community where, when you're middle aged, meddling shrews will try to convince your hot wife to leave you for some hunk who is younger and hotter? Is something wrong with a society that will be happy if you get a good sex life through your middle age?
And when the second shrew has a "change of heart" and finally cleans her dirty kitchen near the end, why did the protagonist freak out and almost run over two children on the street as she drove like a maniac??
At the end, it seemed like someone had just talked some sense into her.
Niether one is going to happen. There has to be something else. But we won,t find it until we let go of trying to find someone and/or balance ourselves.
Great comment ! Balance is key
Glenn and Bette - two of the greatest actresses of all time. Love them both!
You will believe that Glenn Close deserves an oscar for a comedic remake.
She does the best crazy like she did in Fatal Attraction
Clearly you know NOTHING about actual cinema. Go back to watching cat videos on UA-cam 🐈🤦🏼♂️
You gotta hand it to Glenn Close: she really gives her all in everything she does, and she’s usually the best part of any movie she’s in.
She's brilliant!
@Michele Brown she make a really good Baby Jane in Whatever Happened To Baby Jane Remake with Meryl Streep as Blaunce
4:01
I love the way Glenn delivered that line.
You know it says a lot when Matthew Broderick is the only "real man" among these other guys. Also, I felt like he was always conflicted about all of this. At first, he is trying to become a stronger man and help Joanna stop being this perfectionist that ultimately hurt her in the end, but once he realizes that something is wrong and sees what happened to Roger, he does believe it's iffy... The only reason he doesn't come out and say it is because he's terrified about what the association might do to him and his family. So he plays it up like he's totally on board, but he actually is suspicious like Joanna. Problem is, he doesn't know if the men are watching or not, even in their own home, so he can't let his guard down or tell his wife. During the confrontation where he admits his insecurities, I believe he is telling the truth on how he felt, but again is playing it up as the men are there and he wants to get to the bottom of this. Evidence by Mike saying he hadn't seen the video yet. Upon realizing what the men are doing to their wives, he pretends to be onboard, but once he and Joanna are out of sight, he tells her everything and the two hatch this plan to stop it.
lol Her reasoning for turning the other girls into robots was way more touching than it should have been....
The only thing is wouldn’t have made more sense if the guys were robots? Like I’m all for being tall blonde and beautiful and being a happy homemaker but the wives were treated like sex toys and had little to no personality. I get what Claire wanted but the world she wanted was one where the women went from stressful environment to another.
@@Valentina-ng4hh She said that the men were supposed to be turned next after the women. It was also established that many, if not all of the men in Stepford felt overshadowed by their wives and so didn't feel the need to think twice about having their wives turned into robots that catered to their every need. It could be that she decided to turn the women first because if she didn't then her plan would've had a greater chance of being foiled bc the women would've been harder to convince.
This movie is actually well written aside from the massive plot hole. The changes that they made from the original help to successfully transition it into a light comedy.
They actually did a good job explaining why a woman would've done this. And Glenn Close's freakouts are amazing. LOL
@@nickimillennium That the one of the few things it did right.
Even as a dying Robot, Walken has that unique charm.
*gasp* She's fabulous!
That Apple Reference turned out to be prophetic
I just realized that Glenn Close's character could have easily pushed her cyborg husband out of the way. but instead she chooses to stand there and just yell "NOOOOO" melodramatically. LMAO
To this day I'm still confused at how and why a brain surgeon had connections in mattel, a toy company
Um hello, it's top secret haha 😂
Ask Patricia
That was the joke. Pentagon Apple and mattel. It's also saying she was smart enough to put robotics into the women
Considering Barbie and G.I. Joe were once accused of controlling the hearts and minds of children by trying to turn boys into soldiers and girls into bimbos with a semi-successful resume and she pretty much turned the female population into remote controlled Barbie dolls, it's safe to say Mattel was on board with that.
She said she worked for PENTAGON
4:43 I'll never forget, I saw this in theatres back in high school, and some guy was cackling and howling like an absolute mad man in the very back while everyone else was just in silent shock at what transpired. Then they all laughed with along him after five seconds.
I remember Glen as Cruella De Vil. She was really a great actress
Great acting.. she deserved an oscar
0:05 And that's my favourite line.
I thought about this scene the other day there. Glenn performance in this scene is wonderful, the sadness the insanity and the love her character has for Mike.
Honestly to me, you can’t help but go awe when she crawls to mikes head and lies next to him 💜.
She's fabulous, indeed
4:02 - 4:10 : I cannot be the only one who sees a new meme on that moment 🤣🤣
1:51 haah she's fabulous
that line has lived rent free in my mind for the last 15 years!
Joanna really did change in the end. She’s not working to the bone anymore, she’s spending more time with Walter and the kids, and acknowledging him and appreciating him more
Oh, she’s fabulous!
"As I gazed across the breakfast table at their lifeless bodies I thought, how easily I could relate to that woman Alex Forrest from Fatal Attraction in our deep and yearning need to be loved- that it's almost as if, I was her"...
Connecticut joke is spot-on 🤣
2:10 "She's nuts." 😆
You're one to talk, Winifred Sanderson
I felt really bad for her. Gleen Close is a great actress.
"Top contracts with the Pentagon, Apple, and Mattel" bahahahah omfg I cannont
Glenn was so great in this
“she nuts” 😂😂
Glenn is going Cruella. If I were Mathew and Nicole I'd be running.
Angry yelling pyscho Glenn is classic lol
Nicole about to use her water powers lol
@@aphoticphoton Not even the Seas of Atlantis would stop an angry Glenn Close. Michael Douglas once tried to drown her and that didn't work.
Jonna: Claire are you ok?
Cruella: Not Claire! Claire is gone and CRUELLA'S BAAAACK! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
She IS fabulous!
Woahh she was acting acting so much emotion that she just wanted to be loved and appreciated that she took it this far...she did an Oscar winning performance in 5 mins👏👏👏👏
Omg the look on glenn close face at 0:50 😂
Lmaoooo 💀😂
I gotta say that was great effects for the robot
"does anyone have a screwdriver?"💀💀💀
1:30 Cruella came out!
"It was all so...... *UGLY* ..... "XD
I love how Walter just loves Joanna too much and she’s already perfect to him despite the trouble they’ve had even before Stepford and just crashes every single computer because it’s more important to him that everyone’s themselves than perfect.
I kinda feel sorry for her. Cause she been through heartbreak.. and this heartbreak caused her madness...
And Mattel lmao 🤣
😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 making robot Barbies
“A world of romance and beauty. Of tuxedos and chiffon. The perfect world!”
"Im the worlds best engineer"....kisses a robot an gets an electroshok😂
"She's nuts."
Wait Christifor Walken was a robot? Actually that explains a lot.
Okay.. the drama here is fucking lit
3 jobs? Jesus Christ she was busy and had to make the money
Woah they added this scene
Nobody can play crazy like Glenn Close. Even though this movie is a bit of a mess, it still has a great cast. Talented actors here. This is one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies. I know it's not great but I still love it.
Nicole Kidman is absolutely beautiful in this scene.
Where would people won't notice a town full of robots??? Oh! Connecticut!
A WORLD OF ROMANCE AND BEAUTY, WITH TUXEDOS AND CHIFFON”
I love this scene because everyone was prolly thinking the entire movie that it about the "dirty old man" that Christopher Walken was... however, this entire time, it was a lady who created the idea behind stepford wives... guys always get a bad reputation by women that they are all Sexhounds ready to take advantage of any woman... when women like Glenn Close character are just as much to blame as any guy is
4:31 YOU'RE INSANE!!!! 👏🏼🤣
I’m in love. With a waltz and a town. And a man. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
OMG!!!! She's Crazy about Robots!!!
I’d like to live in her town 🤷🏽♀️
The fact that she had top secret contracts with Mattel makes sense that the women were all Barbies'. Something i missed completely as a kid watching this movie
Imagine when Megan Fox joined the cast of the 2004 remake of “The Stepford Wives” as Heather Wellington, Mike and Claire’s spoiled teenage daughter and only child who baby-sits Joanna and Walter Eberhart’s two young kids.
*Joanne:* But you're married to a robot.
Did Kidman's accent slip on that line?
I thought she said "But you WERE married to a bot."
@@trasegorsuch5140 she did say that. And i can hear her real accent
It comes out sometimes.
Great movie, the 1970s version is awesome.
Glenn close was great.
This story is just way to dark to try to make a comedy for the whole family this great acting and dark story would have fit if only this where horror.
I blame the studio. Originally it was supposed to be like the original but due to low audience reactions, the studio re-shot the whole film
@arosequartz 1975 version SO much better!!!!
First the women, then the men and what was next? The children? Yeah she is definitely 5000% insane
This was released in 2004. People now have sex dolls.
So in Glenn Close's world, unfaithful husbands, bunnies, and Dalmatians are fair game LOL!!
i love this movie
4:50 Imagine if Claire turned back into Cruella DeVil after that shock
Look at them Claire! How could you do this to them?!
You mean to tell me... women use men to control other women... just like in the real world *gasp*
Greenwich Connecticut!
"... In the World!"
😂😂😂
BRAVO! BRAVO!
hahha "... and Matel" haha seems legit
It's a robot. Mike is a ***damn robot! 😵
Wrong movie? 👽
And that girl's crazy super crazy
kidman was soooooo hot in this
PARAMOUNT PICTURES - DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love
DREAMWORKS SKG - Chinito
Fatal Attraction - The Prequel... or the Sequel?
Lol yep. I'm Claire
At least heaven’s perfect
Being from Florida... we can fix anything with a screwdriver
I cant beleive that the guy was somekind of a Terminator all this time. Sad for him, he clearly was not made of Titanium. Probably cheap Chinese steal.
This is was the vision of future.and it really become true! All people are like robots now and woman become like à real barbies !!
2:10 You're one to talk, Winifred Sanderson
THIS IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BOOK.
Can I get a screwdriver 😂😂😂
I don't know why this movie got such bad reviews. I think it's great.
