- Trailer for the 1990 film adaptation of 'The Handmaid's Tale', based on the best-selling and critically acclaimed novel by booker prize winning author Margaret Atwood.
Starring: Natasha Richardson as Offred; Robert Duvall as the Commander; Faye Dunaway as Serena Joy; Elizabeth McGovern as Moira; Aidan Quinn as Nick and Victoria Tennant as Aunt Lydia.
The screenplay was by Harold Pinter and the film was directed by Volker Schlöndorff.
This whole trailer pretty much sums up the entire book
Let me think.. no
This movie is now 27 years old and there is no reason why it should not be available for free viewing. Just thought I'd throw that out there since I want to watch it and don't want to pay. : )
You must be a "Bernie" kind of guy. I'm sure the lighting guy, the audio guy, the crew, the writers, producers, continuity checkers, wardrobe and make up people, director of photography, editor, music composers, actors, extras, distributors and everyone involved did it for free so you could enjoy it for free... Moron.
play around on google, almost every movie is out there to watch for free somewhere
@@UFOMistery2010 Ya man no conservatives think the way of this original poster. lol you partisan clowns are a disgrace and the real traitors to America.
Due to The Handmaid's Tale series premiering on Hulu, demand for both the novel and the movie re-emerged. Everyone charges as much as they can get for the novel and the movie. Thus capitalism strikes!

the handmaid's tale series brought me here
Linea Maqvira como a casi todos...😏
Linea Maqvira me too
Really? Thanks for sharing that!! Amazing.
hi, is that possible send me this movie. Thank you
This movie brought me to the series.
They basically gave away the entire plot here.
I was an extra in this movie back in the 90's, was filmed in Durham, NC
Oh wow! I didn’t realize it was filmed there. My family is from NC ... I can imagine the use of all the old beautiful buildings in this film. 😃
Wow! Were you a handmaid?
Is there a second part?
Lol, the 90's. This trailer...
Movie was actually filmed in 1989--I was an extra in it. It took a whole year in post-production and most of us think it is a crappy adaptation of an excellent book.
+💵HURACÀN💵 calm down little buddy, it's okay if people have different opinions. Don't shit your diaper.
GreenGirl444
💵HURACÀN💵
Technically the 80s as this came out in 1990 and all movies are made at least the year before or longer
For such a bad adaptation as this movie was, it did have an amazing cast.
I've always liked this film and still prefer it to the new TV series, which drags on a bit, especially with all the back stories which aren''t even in the book. Moss is a great actress but I like Richardson better in this role and definitely prefer Aiden Quinn for Nick.
i think if there's a remake of this by HBO like a miniseries or something it would be brilliant coz i really loved the book and the younger generations would be introduced to this kind of dystopia, different from hunger games and stuff like that. Plus, im also imagining Rosamund Pike playing Offred knowing she would kill it coz her performance in Gone Girl just really makes an impact on you. LOL. Mr Bigg (Chris Noth) would also be perfect for Commander. Just saying
Jasper Barulo lol it's like your prediction came true! I can't wait to watch it on Hulu!
Xue Thao . hi bqtqiq
Xue Thao
GIRL YOU'RE REALLY PSYCHIC. LIKE YOU'RE REALLY CLAIRVOYANT UP IN THIS BITCH. IM SHOOK.
lol I enjoyed the book but if you want to introduce younger generations to a DIFFERENT kind of dystopia than hunger games, you might be well better off with 1984, which this books greatly reminded me off and it is a MASTERPIECE
It was a book before it was ever a movie lol. And the book is amazing
I thought the book sucked. A movie or series will have to write a lot of material to make it interesting.
And now theres an amazing series!
Rachel Kay can't believe this season is over already....it's sooooo good 🙌
And the series is not exactly following the book. The writers of the series are liberal to the bone and are adding all kinds of things extra to the series to reach out and make you liberals wig the heck out and scream "TRUMP!!!". God y'all are easy.
Atwood is a consultant on the series and makes a cameo appearance. She is no fan of Trumps. As Atwood says in a recent article "vote while you still can".
Aaand, this is why it's now being made a TV series. This is a story with too much detail to be told in a film.
Now I found out that Natasha died in 2009.I'm so sorry and I can't belive she's not anymore
I think a lot of commenters here don't understand the point of the book.
Chloe Hancock Which is the point of the book?
Thanks for telling us the point of the book!
Read this book years ago, I have never seen the movie because I find books to be so much better. Disturbing and I have never forgot it.
enjoyed this version so much more than the new series... robert duvall and faye nunaway! amazing!
Almost finished reading this book in my Junior APLANG class...It is sooooo good! :D
I loved this movie when it came out! Stars the late Natasha Richardson. Is going to be a tv series. Hope it is as good.
They should make this movie again.
Romy Gutierrez Right. They should make it now, so people can see & are aware of what the Tea Party and Conservative Republicans are planning for this country.
Romy Gutierrez They should re-release it.
Its being released as a tv show this year
fmovies.se/film/the-handmaids-tale.zljy2/v8qx8v
The new series is great
Part of the genius was the slowly revealed plot, the first-person stream of consciousness, and the the lack of chronology. To tell this story in the third person, in a chronological order, no insight into Offred's mind... it completely destroys Atwood's work!
+Laura M I don't know if it counts as "telling the story" since it looks like they completely changed it -_-
You should read a good book. Go to church.
Dave Batman Adams k cool thanks for the suggestion
+Dave Batman Adams hahahah
+Laura M well the book lost me halfway shrugs! still can't believe just now I find they filmed it! Ebert gave it 2 stars!
I had no idea this book was a movie. Gritty. Seems faithful to the book. Imma go look for it.
It's so-so- faithful. Most who love the book find it disappointing.
Most people who read books before they're turned into spinoffs gets disappointed anyway. I mean, look at Harry Potter. Hahah. But that's cool. Thanks for the heads up. They're gonna do a series on this on Netflix. Can't wait,

After this trailer, the structure of Honest Trailers makes a lot more sense. It would have been perfect if the sexy-voiceover-guy had said "STARRING"
Whaaat Moira looks EXACTLY how I imagined her in the book!!
Thet litteraly just gave the whole sæson 1 away in this trailer....
RIP Natasha Richardson♡
The book is great, but they really should make this movie again
+💵HURACÀN💵 this movie told the wrong story.
They are...on television.
abandonyahweh.blogspot.com/2017/08/christian-fanatics-are-just-as-danger.html
I just finished Season 3...I’m blow awayyyyy can’t wait for 2020
Has anyone thought about the fact that if you put an "E" in the middle of "Offred", it spells, "Offered", like SHE is the OFFERED?
Yes, this was one of M. Atwood's intentions with the name :)
The book was simply amazing. I want to watch the movie as well
It's worth watching, but nowhere near as good as the book.
This trailer totally freaked me out.... we are reading the book for our novel study at school so now I'm afraid of what else I'm going to read. From what I've read of the book, however, it is very well written and even though it doesn't make sense at first it ties together. But that film looks crazy weird.
These are the highest points of discomfortable parts in the book. This is faithful tot the book, but I don't think it quite captures the state of the country.
We started to watch the movie the other day (our teacher was away) and even though most parts of what we saw in the film are accurate, there are a lot of crucial details missed out. I know that that just happens in film adaptations of a book, but I have to say, the book does paint the picture a whole lot better
I'm about to watch this in my college course and the book was so horrifically realistic I'm now stocking up on knowledge just in case
HBO or Showtime should option the book into a TV series.
It's being made into one right now! I've been working on it as a "Martha."
WorldOfRandomStuff Interesting. Can you tell me any more?
It will star Elisabeth Moss and will be streamed on Hulu in 2017.
That's awesome. I was worried it was going on be on Freeform or something.
abandonyahweh.blogspot.com/2017/06/still-think-yahweh-isnt-evil-check-out.html
I had no idea the was a move. And with old school A listers
Anyone looking forward to the hulu series? I am danish, and fortunately we can stream it on HBOnordic! I am gonna start tonight! It looks pretty amazing from the trailer. But I have to watch this film version too at some point.
I'm so glad I didn't see this trailer until after I read the book. It's like a cheap summary of the entire book
why had I never heard of this until they made a remake? I often find the original version is better or just as good (obviously they both come from the source material ) I watched both, and they are actually well written.
The original version is a book and the book gives the most details and is best
I knew I saw this before. I'm watching it on Hulu & the show looked all to familiar. They're making it seem like this is the 1st time it's being shown. This is the original show right here. Great cast in this original
Tested with Adam Savage brought me here. (he says that this movie is terrible, but the book is amazing)
The movie's not terrible, but it's not quite as good as the book. Although I have a gripe with the book as well: the apparently obligatory happy ending the author felt impelled to tack on.
Mona Irwin There was no happy ending. It ended with her getting into one of the vans. We were left to wonder if it was for good or bad.
2bluevalentine Yes, but at the end of the book there is an epilogue which states that the Republic of Gilead collapsed and women were given back their equal rights, although we don't find out what happened to Offred. So it's a sort of happy/sad ending.
2bluevalentine
Vara Hayes is correct: the narrator gets into a van with the Commander's driver (who may or may not be one of the Eyes of God, but who IS the father of her child, and who may or may not be rescuing her) and we hear no more about her ... but there was a Bluebird of Happiness epilogue set at some undefined point after Gilead collapsed. I thought the author should've stopped with the ambiguous ending; it was far more powerful.
ML Irwin
Oh, I didn't read the epilogue. I guess I should have. I was disappointed not knowing what happened to her. After reading that torturous story, I wanted there to be a happy ending.
Where can you see the 1990 version?
Here because of the series
this is a great movie. the execution scene was spine chilling
WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THIS FOR MY EXAMS !!! O.o
I just have a really bad Feeling that this could become a reality.
One of the two major political parties of the US wants it badly. It can easily happen if those on the Left don't get off their butts and VOTE in November!
I'm liberal, but even I feel that's a gross hyperbole.
It's already a reality in Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia.
abandonyahweh.blogspot.com/2017/06/why-should-we-support-satan-and-lucifer.html
😂😂
How many versions are there of this? I thought it was new TV series but then I found a 2001 version on amazon and this one says 1990?
Note to the Republican Party of the United States: This story was NOT MEANT to be an instruction manual!
Sadly current events are proving otherwise as we speak.
When this comment was made 3 years ago it was just a silly joke.
Now we have President Trump.
Sadly you misunderstood the movie. This is an allegory on Muslims and how they live under sharia law. It's painfully obvious that this is a left wing dream come true. Except for the religious aspects, the rest is a totalitarian government where women have no rights exactly as it is in Iran, Syria, Afghanistan etc.
"It's painfully obvious that this is a left wing dream come true."
What, the Republic of Gilead is a left wing dream come true? Are you kidding? Do you live in backwards land?
Which current events? Islamic terrorists and the way they plan to take over the world and force their religion on everyone or they lose their heads? Islam the way they cover their women and treat their women? Just interested in why you put it that way
this was the best book ive ever read by far
I remember seeing this for some odd reason ...
I love this movie ! 👍 & Tv series is good too !! 😊😊
except like 80% of the story is reveled to you in this trailer, the ending is the only thing they left out lol
Offred seem mildly displeased about this whole handmaid thing
Omg this made me laugh so hard
Right, LNSmithee. In the meantime, "personhood" amendments to state constitutions are presently being fought over and legislated in 8 states where a fetus is considered more important than the woman carrying it, and in these same states, women are forced to go to hospitals to give birth, arrested for have stillborns, and dying due to malpractice because a fetus is more important than the woman carrying it.
I so want to read this book/see this!
¿Alguien sabe donde se puede ver la película completa ?
this is going to be a series on Startz.
VikiB Hulu**
Saw the Hulu series have to watch the original
P YEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!
No wonder I never heard of it before!
Just finished the book. Book was brilliant. That trailer looks gash. Definitely won't watch it.
This is actually about the suffering of women in a dystopian future. The really tragic thing is that in some parts of the world women are indeed only used by men in a very crude way. The ill-treatment of women hroughout history is the greatest crime of all.
shout out to 2017 making a sick show. what is this?! dusty old contents of an attic.
Wow you must be so proud of that one.
It seems the series remake was needed and I love the series but are there ever going to be original ideas again or are things just going to keep getting remade?
Yep, I have the same problem sometimes, because, when all ideas where new to me, I prefered good ideas, better ideas, but after so many years, it almost now seems I would prefer a "new" idea . Or part of me would. The Amygdala pretends to be the whole brain. The habit of "thinking" I actually mistook for ME. whew! I barely escaped that mental trap....
--- --- --- --- --- ...or did I?
Just curious, why Scarlett Johannson? If it's because she's physically attractive and has "big boobs", which you're almost guaranteed to see in the sex/rape scenes then you're completely missing the point of the book and film.
coming to bluray from shout factory
0:34 literally scares the shit out of me with that creepy music and Offered looking like she's in a cult group or something.
Not a bad cast.
I need a good thesis for 4 page ASAP!!! Please reply!!! Thank you in advance
@IowaEye
Or Newt Gingrich's, Ron Paul's, Mitt Romney's, and Rick Perry's America.
Read the book! It is so much better than the film.
One of my ex-girlfriends decided in her little mind that I only wanted her for "breeding purposes" (her exact words). LOL. She would probably think that I should have been the commander in this movie. LOL
um...
Why do they make the wives' outfits look like sexy career women? And I don't like the handmaid's outfits either. The red thing they wear on their head reminds me of a sexy lingerie version of what nuns in training wear on their head. I like the outfits in the tv series because it looks like the outfits gilead has intended them to wear. Plain, not modernized, modest, looks like it's hand sewn, it resembles like what the amish wear which again is exactly what the author wanted it to be portrayed
Reading this in my 10th grade English class! The book is good but the movie looks horrible 😪
It was ok actually
lol, I love how the comments in this video exploded into "Political/Religion/Socialist" garbage but never even mention that the book is about the allegorical roles of women in a dystopian society, like "Ooops, we forgot to mention that." silly peoples.
Half of the commenters here have probably never even read the book I bet. XD
Natasha s best film. lv the. red dress
There is a book?OMG Im in heaven?
Okey! so this is kind of weird cause I have to read this book for my English class O.o
Life in Rick Santorum's America.
That trailer looks like it has as much in common with that book as Demi Moore's The Scarlet letter has with it's book. Hahahahaha
the complete movie??? you know?
The book is 100% better.
OMG!!! Spoilers everywhere!!!!
Nick is much cuter in the tv series.
lv u natasha
This is Ancient
How the hell did they drag Robert Duvall, one of the best actors ever, into this piece of excrement?
+Mike Murphy The entire cast is highly thought of, he wasn't the only one.
+💵HURACÀN💵 yes, lessons in taste from some who surrounds their UA-cam name in money.
Oh ok
Fuck off
they say this our future.hollywood warns us .im gonna watch it .
The 2017 miniseries has more insight
I agree, the movie is pretty mindless and stupid.
The book however portrays a beautiful message.
That's not strictly a hate crime,but it can be interpreted as one because that student was walking around wearing a t-shirt insinuating that anyone who doesn't share his beliefs is below him, and their life is wasted so they shouldn't be living. At least in Canada we can't disrespect fallen soldiers by going to their funeral and picketing at it, saying they because this man was gay so God took his life in combat, and holding signs saying things such as "God hates gays". Just saying.
Don't misunderestimate our neighbors' perceptions, I don't see how anyone can look at America today, be they in or out, and not see this madness.
Im reading THIS in school?!?! Wtf
so whats the story with this movie exactly? not the story like script- i read the book. it's just , i was googling the book cover and a vhs for this movie came up and it struck me as odd how '' sultry '' they made offred look on the cover given the story is bleak and full of rape and sexism and general torture. seemed like an odd fit for her to have a sort of mall glamour shots pic on the cover. even in discussions of the book though i have NEVER heard anyone ever mention this movie- was it a flop? is it worth checking out?
When did I say anything about that...oh wait I didn't so that "point" of mine (yeah I noticed the quotation there...) doesn't exist and you aren't refuting a thing here... So your "point" has nothing to do with our conversation. Nice try though?
Oh wow I did not know there was a movie.. this trailer looks old-fashioned and as if the acting is probably very bad. I will not watch it, I don't think they chose the actors right..! Especially Offred does not come acorss as genuine even in the trailer. Perhaps they can do another movie one day
When there's a trailer for Stephen King's 'IT', you know it's going to be a messed up film.
I posted a link on your page. I suggest you read it.
Natasha Richardson? Fuck, I fucking restock the world
i am a christian
but i am afraid Christianity will turn out like this movie and book
The GOP's dream!
ha no
Jeremy Kershaw it feels like it sometimes
Shut up communist
Maybe not the GOP, but definitely A LOT of it's members and founders who get them elected!
It's sad how painfully stupid and paranoid you libtards are. I really, truly feel sorry for you.
Lol why does this spoil almost all of the plotline? It's not even subtle, this whole thing is a synopsis, not a trailer
The book is so much better (naturally) ... Watch the movie anyway.
this looks horrendous, while the series is incredible
I don't think we're the dumb ones. Are you actually admitting that you like Rick Santorum?
cannot believe this..someone I know read the book.....not a fan am I..just viewed trailer. women are denigrated..however everyone is entitled to their own opinion. not my scene.
I've read it for your information. Please try and explain how they are different, I'm all ears. Ps. Islam isn't a religion actually...it's an ideology. So you're wrong about that. Next time you call someone uneducated try to know what the difference is.
Perhaps you are a bit confused here, but islam is in fact a religion, its followers are known as "muslims." I don't know if english is your first language, but here's a Britanica link to prove it.
www.britannica.com/topic/Islam
As you see, it will state that islam is a "major world religion." If you google "Islam", you will find many sites and news articles referring to it as a religion. Perhaps you were a bit confused or English isn't your native language. We all make mistakes sometimes.
