Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?
12
10>>
wait i think 10+ is the right way to put it lol
Definitely a 10
10
That man she stood up, will never know what a lucky SOB he was that day...
LOL
He probably wasn't married. Not much for her to damage anyway.
@@PointofConnection You missed the point
As nutzoid as she was the other "date" probably never existed.
@MarcusStaples78 Internet is choc-full of thickos.
Glen Close did a brilliant job here. You could sense in her mannerisms, the way she laughed and talked these little signs of her personality disorder. It's so nuanced. She's such an amazing actress.
Hello there!
What were those signs of her personality disorders that you mentioned? I haven't watched this film yet but I think I will.
Please can you explain further on the nuances for eg the way she laughed?
Explain
@@londongirl1321 Dont pay attention, she's just PROJECTING
My lord....Glenn Close was just PERFECT in this role!!
Absolute!! And she also played Cruella DeVil in 101 Dalmatians from 1996 and then in 102 Dalmatians from 2000. And in 1999, she played the voice of the female gorilla "Kala" in Tarzan.
@laurentseghers6579 when you have a moment, watch her in the movie "Albert Nobbs". INCREDIBLE!!
@@golden8972 Albert… Nobbs…. Is that a movie or a serie?
@laurentseghers6579 it's a movie. She plays the starring role. You have GOT to see it. As far as I'm concerned, Glenn Close is At. Her. Best.
@@golden8972 Yes that’s absolutely right. And I've known Glenn Close since I was 4 years old, because I saw her for the very first time in 101 Dalmatians.
This movie should be shown at all pre-marital counseling sessions. The risks just aren’t worth the hassle.
Bubububut da bunnnneee
I also think so. His daughter and wife could die because he decided to cheat. And that's not even something unusual. Jealousy murders happen every day
You're right. Just too big of a risk to get married.
It doesn't stop people unfortunately. But the risks are worse now than they were then.
They are with the hassle. If you are discreet
The chemistry here is just unbelievable
She looks like a man
Química, y que actores los dos .
Its not chemistry it's lust because a man having had sex with his wife that is all he will be sorry soon as he relieve his self
Not sure about the chemistry. Dan didn't stand a chance. Alex held all the cards.
My guess is that Dan felt at home, bored, tired, dead, routine, always the same, dead.
The movie that kept husbands from cheating for decades
for a few months maybe
as if , lol 😂
Decades? Not even seconds 😂
Poor rabbit
Or help them pick wisely
FUN FACT: The Alex role played by Glenn Close, was originally offered to Michelle Phifer......but she turns it down; after reading the script. But i feel Glenn Close did a amazing job, she should have received an Oscar for that role.
@Antoine Casey That is a fun fact. I had no idea. Another big role turned down by Pfeiffer, along with the Jodie Foster role in "The Silence of the Lambs."
Fun fact: tRump lost the election
As much as I like Michelle Pfeiffer, I don't think she would have been right for this role. Glenn Close nailed it because she's braver as an actress than Michelle.
Glenn Close has a fiery spirit that’s why she could pull off a role like this. Michelle phifer not same caliber
I wish a young Sharon Stone could have played the role.
Watched this again recently after many years & must admit Michael Douglas acting in this movie was bloody brilliant.
yes he's perfectly likeable/hateable/relateable.... perfectly ENTITLED, too in a way that just makes you wanna smack em throughout the whole movie... even saying he's "happily married" haha... the logic here is fascinating... it's like "i'm such a happily married and successful guy, that I deserve an affair and no one should really think too much about it.. " .... there's something very interesting about that...
@@florencehenderson3707that's deep. He slept with a woman who wanted sex. Why should he be killed for it?
@@DarkMoonindigo I never said he should be killed for it. I don't remember who threatened who first. If she threatened him, I see what you might be getting at, otherwise, not sure what you mean by that.
@@florencehenderson3707 him being happily married commands respect. He successfully has a relationship. Thus him having sex outside that relationship means just that. Having sex. She on the other hand cannot command the same respect because she is not happily in any relationship commited or otherwise.
@@DarkMoonindigo that's quite the concept you've got there. But if he's getting his happiness and success through lying and deceiving people close to him, then I would say his happiness is skin deep, if that. It's little more than a clever ruse and easily upturned by crazy pants.
*This movie had a huge impact in 1987. The term "bunny boiler" became a common catchphrase and men all over the world realised just how dangerous an affair could be. Fantastic movie*
Bunny boiler was not a " catchphrase"
@@Kgio-2112 Catchphrase - "a well-known sentence or phrase, especially one that is associated with a particular famous person"
And in the Collins Dictionary - "bunny boiler
in British English
NOUN

Word origin
C20: from the 1987 film Fatal Attraction, in which a female character boils a pet rabbit to terrorize the family of the lover who spurns her"
Is that enough for you?
@@JC-jk3kloh yeah, men are such angels
Yes I remember, a married man wouldn’t sleep with after he saw the movie.
The poor,bunny😥
You know you have a great actress when you can tell Alex is really off without her even talking. Her eyes were mesmerizing and telling.
The wife was a lot hotter and more feminine. If it were today I would assume Alex is really a man. It was a total bonehead move to get with that psycho. Reminds me of Bezos ditching his wife for the crazy post-wall Latina and costing himself $80 billion.
yes! there's a wildness in her eyes that seems dangerous... but could easily be interpreted as healthy excitement when that's what one wants to see.... hindsight 20/20... :) she's so good....
One of my favorites. Excellent film. Back when actors were actually the best at their craft.
I know right
What's done in the dark always comes to the light
Glen herself said that this role called for someone younger & way more attractive then she was but her acting is so superb & phenomenal that I did not even consider either one of those two things EVER while watching her performance…❤️❤️❤️👏🏾
That’s what makes it super realistic because that’s how it would go down in real life
Yeah, I only knew her from other movies and I thought "She plays a seductress in this one? But she's not even pretty!" - but she's pulling it off perfectly. It doesn't even MATTER that the character's real wife is prettier than her. She's so seductive and charming.
Imho it is even much better when someone average looking with great charisma / talent plays this role. It is more believable and relatable and she was brilliant. I absolutely cannot see any other actress pulling this off.
I think she looks gorgeous here in this clip!
I agree. I felt like she was perfect for this role. I don’t think this role called for someone younger and prettier. All I kept thinking was that Alex had been kind of an awkward slight ugly duckling growing up. That no one saw her, not even her parents, so this caused her borderline tendencies. Then she grew up, had her glow up, but because of her personality disorder, she couldn’t attach properly to any man to have a marriage and family. Now she’s cruising towards middle age and the stakes were getting higher.
Years ago i read a magazine article featuring Glen Close. She said after this movie came out she could not get a job or a date, everyone in Hollywood was afraid of her.
I can't speak for the job situation, but her not being able to get a date would have been due to her being in her forties, rather than the character she played in this movie.
@@russkate88 oh, bs...a woman in her 40's is sexual prime.
@@triplegrace155 lmao 🤣. You've gotta be kidding 🤣.
A woman in her forties is at least ten years past hitting the wall 🧱.
That's not to say that Guy's won't sleep with her. But they won't get into a relationship with her, nor will they pursue her.
@@russkate88 look it up.
@@russkate88Glen Close can still get a date in her 70”s.
What strikes me is that he makes himself vulnerable by telling her personal details right from the beginning. He hardly knows her and he begins to tell her his whole biography.
Narcissism on both their parts. Who's seducing who ?
@@PJHEATERMAN For the most part: She is seducing him.
@@kleinhocico9915 i know, i lived it. Weak minds with a painful aftermath. I got a lesson in narcissism.
Nada nuevo , que crees que les cuentan a las chicas de la noche ? Toda su vida , es al revés un hombre callado es lo raro.
A person lacking discernment and deprived of intimacy will talk to anyone who will listen.
People can't act like this anymore this wasn't my generation but actors from the 80s and 90s sure are better actors then today imo
Also the sex scenes were very passionate in these 90,s movies ie sliver and basic instincts ( just can’t match it in todays movies )😍😅
You're absolutely correct. Actors today always look like they're acting. They have no depth . It's the difference between growing up reading novels, classic literature, Shakespeare, etc and growing up taking selfies.
True. Today they are cringy just like singers are today.
100% less tik-tok more Stanislavski.
It takes a certain caliber of a person to do what they do in front of a camera whether it be to cry, smile, laugh, get naked, get angry, etc.
I still think we have some top actors today such as:
Timothee Chalamet
Adam Driver
Anya Taylor-Joy
Florence Pugh
Will Poulter
John Boyega
Robert Pattinson
Andrew Garfield
Jake Gyllenhaal
Zendaya
Rebecca Ferguson
It’s amazing how Glen Close can drop tiny little hints of just how psycho her character will be in the next few minutes. You get an inkling that Alex is really disturbed while acting totally normal. What an amazing performance.
Michael Douglas, giving this performance in the same year he won his Oscar for Wall Street, shows how -- even while being recognizably *him* -- he can turn his charm in very different ways.
Michael followed in his fathers footsteps. Kirk was one of the finest actors ever . Micheal was often on the set when his father was working and he followed n his father’s footsteps. He is awesome just as his father was.
I loved the way she made him hold the lit match for an extended period of time…it almost burned him and he didn’t flinch!
just as she almost burned him, he flinched then though
They don’t make movies like this anymore ❤
As crazy as Alex is, the way Glenn portrayed her makes me have just a little bit of sympathy for her. Alex is a very sick, sad woman who seriously needs mental help. Glenn gave Alex a humanity that made her kinda pitiful and tragic as well as scary. And that really makes the movie better. Such a fantastic performance.
Close has said in many interviews that she had a lot of sympathy for Alex the character because she was mentally ill. She thoroughly researched borderline personality disorder with psychiatrists. That’s why she didn’t like the ending of the film. In keeping with her character, she would be infinitely more likely to harm/Jill herself than anyone else. She fought for the originally scripted ending-hard-as it didn’t go over well with test audiences or the producers. I think this is honestly the best female performance to never win an Oscar.
@@paulvoorhies8821 I do like the new ending for the suspense and excitement but I have to agree with Glenn about the original version. The new ending made Alex almost like a slasher villain and that kinda cheapened it. Typical crazy lady with a knife attacking people. The original ending is devastating. Alex's sick obsession caused her to take her own life and ruin Dan's in the process. His family will suffer for a long time because of his choices. He was innocent as far as being framed for Alex's death. But the rest? He chose to cheat and the consequences were devastating.
@@LiirThropp2687 I like the “new” ending too, as did audiences, obviously. FA was number 1 at the box office for 8 weeks-which is pretty incredible-and was the highest grossing film of the year at 320,000 ,000. I myself saw it in the theaters 3 times. To this day, I’m convinced that Close’s performance was so outstanding that it actually scared some (mostly male) Academy voters, who opted for Cher that year instead. Talk about a robbery!
@@paulvoorhies8821 Strangely, I haven't seen this movie at the time. Maybe, because I was busy with much more important things at the time - was pregnant and giving birth to my second child.
@@irenamoiseykina7724 It sounds, indeed, that you had much more important things to do. I was just a freshman in college at the time and had plenty of downtime on my hands. I don’t know if you’re saying you still haven’t seen it, but if not, it’s definitely worth your time.
That scene from 'Sleepless in Seattle.'
Dad: "Didn't you ever see 'Fatal Attraction?
Son: "No, you wouldn't let me."
Dad: Well, I saw it! And it scared the shit out of me, OK?! It scared the shit out of every man in America!"
🤣And every man in America fancied himself the object of some psychopathic female's obsession. LOL!
Men in these comments are saying en masse that men are so immoral that they literally need to be scared out of cheating otherwise they have zero conscience betraying the wife. Wild. No feminist is bigger advocate of how shitty men are then men themselves. Men have zero standards for themselves and happy to admit non stop how untrustworthy, selfish and degenerate they are and don't care for consequences of their actions unless it strikes them in most brutal way
For 5 minutes.
This whole sequence is just phenomenal acting and cinematography.
He missed the warning sign. She knew he was married. Any single woman who cancels a date to be with a married man is off.
Exactly what I thought
No, Michael's character knew what he was getting into. He just chose to ignore all the danger signs because he thought he could have his cake and eat it too. He wanted to believe Glen's character because he was lying to himself, so he "believed" the lies she told him.
@@jamesfeldman4234 that was the only warning sign before they hooked up. They began coming in waves after though. I think he figured he’d just hit it and roll since she knew he was married. But boy was he wrong
She where ??
@@jamesfeldman4234 the whole point of having a cake 🎂 is so you can eat it.
I thought Glen was gorgeous in this role with that wild hair framing her face. But she was also scary.
Glenn Close nailed that role. She had just the right amount of confidence and Michael Douglas had just the right amount of trepidation. I never thought of Glenn Close as especially attractive, but she was very sexy in this movie. Then she got to be frightening. I'd say a solid B. 8/10.
Man...if this is sexy for you then...well. Megan Fox in Transformers is sexy, Christina Hendriks is sexy, Penelope Cruz is sexy.
Yes, i agree about Glenn Close’s looks . She was never a true ‘Hollywood beauty’. But she suited this role and was pretty enough, and sexy enough, to be totally believable. One of the truly great actors.
I never thought she was sexy. That 80's perm--ugh. I find her looks vs Anne Archer made it harder to believe he could cheat. I think he cheated on his wife before Glenn.
Glenn Close is positively radiant . These two set the screen on fire .The affair and its downfall when Alex cant dislodge herself . Very real
She looks nice here but radiant? Most the time she looks like a man in drag!
This is the kind of flirting men can't resist, words beautifully expressed and made it more inviting.
She looked so great in white!
She looked so Beautiful in White 🎵
I watched the film over the weekend. Great film. Glen is very sexy in that film.
I actually met Glenn Close in Vancouver during filming of Immediate Family. She was very sweet.
I LOVE that movie.
She's a great actress. Underrated.
Why didn't you ask if she'd like to go on a date with you?
You met her but because you are discreet never approached her ! 😅
@@cameliap1146 LOL
Saw this at the theaters when it came out.....did not expect it to be so powerful. Phenomenal movie and acting.
amazing acting by Glenn Close
It looks like Alex’s hair has been styled to resemble snakes, possibly in reference to Medusa from Greek mythology. The men who gazed into Medusa’s eyes were turned to stone- quite literally fatal attraction.
Stacked perms were the rage in the 80s.
And her earrings looked like snakes
That was the 80’s hair for women.
We didn’t write academic dissertations on why our hair was curly in the 80s. Curly hair was just the in thing to do.
@@ravenel2 I see many of these dissertation style comments under videos these days from millennial types, must be some class they take or something
Michael Douglas was
King of the Suit Movies in the 80's with Fatal Attraction and Wall Street...defining movies of the Decade!
now he was great in Wall Street. the devil personified.
Don't do it Michael, run...Run....RUN !!!
Such an intense scene. Incredible both of them.
One lucky guy she stood up.
Gosh Glenn Close is an incredible actress. Her eyes her seductive smile and the way she holds the eye contact with him. She could charm the birds off the trees that woman.
Yes I totally agree with you
She should have won the Oscar.
Cher winning was a freaking joke
There is your one of many red flags. She stood up her date.
I thought the same thing. Character issue.
People are dying to show you who they truly are .... all you have to do is pay attention.
What people fail to realize is when he had the nerve to say " Maybe because you want things you can't have." While bragging about his family in her company changed her approach in the situation to match his selfishness .
This movie was so huge in the 80s. I remember when it came out.
This entire movie is an acting lesson from those two
Only a handful of actors are on this level today. Timothee Chalomet. Daniel Day Lewis , Ralph Fiennes. Marion Cotlliard is also amazing.
@@trawlins396 agree
They were amazing
@@trawlins396 Gary Oldman is up there today too. His performance in Tinker, Tailor was unbelievable
@@nickcurran3105 absolutely. Love GO
She is 100% the opposite of discreet 😅
God...its sad and painful to see both Glenn Close and Michael Douglas so young and beautiful. It's hard to see them become old now 😔
That may be true, but these two individuals had more fun in a month than most people in a lifetime. Old age is the law!!
I find it sad that people think aging is a tragedy.
Ageing is the true equalizer- you will be there too
Growing old is better than the alternative
@@raoulduke3770 Got that right 😂
UGH, Glenn Close is one of my favorite all-time actresses. She steals every scene she’s in!
Mine too. One of the greatest!
....I never, never NEVER thought of Michael Douglas as 'sexy' (too 'Wall Street', ironically)....but, when he whispers nervously, "....let's get the check...." (3:39) ...with that BURNIN' eye contact....hell, I was ready to run off with him, TOO!! ...ha-HAAA!!
Then after he said that he swallowed. Like he knew he was coming into danger. It was a swallow of trepidation.
Oh he is, plenty of roles he has been in are sexy
I'm not gonna be ignored Dan!!!!
Glenn should have won an Oscar
Cher winning was a freaking joke
@@catherinecatlover no it was not.
A better time with better actors and actresses. Michael and Glenn are superb
Glenn played it so perfect, you really believe she's in love with him and would kill.
Even just this scene makes me nervous!! Such a good movie all these years later! I wish he'd just go home :(
If he went home, then we wouldn't have had such a good thrilling movie. 😉
Later on the same director explores women's infidelity in Unfaithful. And in the end just like you said she think her to herself how her life and life of her husband would look different if she just walked home.
G.C. should have received an Oscar for this role.
Talk about missing 100 red flags 😂
I still get goosebumps over her psycho acting.
Never be anyone’s side chick ladies! Only be someone’s number 1 💖⭐️
Dan fell for the "discreet promise" hook, line, and sinker! 👌🏼🤣👍🏼🙄
I think she lied,she didn’t have a date.
when she kept turning up at his work 😬😬
Woman always have dates. It is like breathing to them.
@@dbentertainment9148 Found the bitter incel
@@josefinebliss2801That "incel" is you.
You could be right!
How could he not feel her energy? You could tell something was wrong with her. I never felt sorry for him
it's almost like the plot hinges on him being inherently more unlikeable than likeable... it's fascinating... if he were this "nice guy" we'd be feeling so sorry for him that we may not even enjoy or want to watch the movie, but because he has already shown himself to have that dark side we're more engaged by the bunny boiling and whatnot... 🤔hmmm...
Alex:: "Are you discreet?"
Also Alex: "It only takes a phone call!!"
Michael Douglas is always a class act.
Michael went the sleazy route with this, Basic Instinct, then Beyond the Candleabra. I was surprised. His father had to be envious.
yeah I don't "like" a lot of his characters but he plays them so well...
Turn back time and give her the damn Oscar!
This is why you don't cheat!
Even if it's not this extreme nothing good ever comes from it.
Glen Close was positively gorgeous in this movie.
I love when she asks him about his wife and he responds with "My Wife?" As if he was really confused about the concept that he's married and that he's not supposed to sleep with anyone other than his wife.
I think it was a question masked to confirm if he had one
Michael Douglas definition of charm .
Omg look how young they are
* they were
Weird to see this movie you saw in the theaters and realize it's so old that they light cigs in the restaurant. Wow....
Glenn Close was just as remarkable as she was menacing. A very memorable movie, to say the least.
Knowing the trajectory that the movie goes on, watching this scene almost makes her seem predatory. She knew what she was doing. Phenomenal acting by both.
They both knew! He could have stopped it then and there but chose not to lol
almost?
She was the predator here. He was being friendly, innocently flirting, could have gone home just fine. Then she whips it out and hands it to him on a silver platter. . nothing "discrete" about it LOL. Now, she didn't force him to take it. He could have walked. But he saw how easy it was going to be and thought "eh, why not." As we learn later in the movie why not.
@@cecilyerker Women who sleep with married men are the worst.
What gets to me is how Alex talked like she totally could make it casual and handle it like a normal person. She switched the second he was involved in it.
“We’re both adults.” Girl…
Movie looks so fresh, it’s hard to believe this classic movie came out 36 years ago. Take the shoulder pads out of the clothes and swap cigarette packs for mobile phones on the table and it could’ve been today.
NOOO.. keep shoulders pads. That era was the LAST time women had class. I know.. I was at my prime in that era. Bring shoulder pads back and class!
She damn lied when she said she’s discreet 😂🐰😢
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Another good thriller similar to Fatal Attraction was Play Misty For Me with Clint Eastwood and Jessica Walter as the psycho he has a one night stand with,who makes his life a living hell.
The original!
Glenn Close and Meryl Streep are two characters played by the same dude.
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 wtf
Ha...that was funny..
Are you insinuating those two actresses are unattractive? 🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a completely different character he played here than in Wall Street at the same damn time. He is a lawyer here, but still.
Can you imagine Gordon Gecko falling for this woman, even for a one-night? The roles would have been reversed. Douglas is such a terrific actor!
Glenn Close as Baby Jane & Meryl Streep as Blanche.
Glenn,should have won
The Oscar", hands down!!!
Sin duda un robo total !!!!
Yes Cher winning was a freaking joke
@@catherinecatlover😲
she was the real victim, just like in unfaithful movie the french guy was the main victim
2:13 The 'Doesn't make me feel bad' moment certainly has the Nicholas Meyer touch. He helped James Dearden write the screenplay for Fatal Attraction. As a fan of Meyer, he certainly has a witty and smart way of writing his screenplays.
Eerie the way she cradles his hand while she lights up.
Actors were better back then? More like there were movies for adults then. Now you have superhero films, Disney movies, action franchises and a few independent films. The only movies for adults now are mostly independent movies. Medium budget adult movies are unheard of today. Also, this scene shows that attractiveness is more about personality than anything physical.
The lighting of the match scene was a genius hidden message to the entire plot of the movie
Dan lights the match meaning he's willing to start a romantic fire
Alex pauses while the lit match is still going, putting Dan at risk of getting burned, meaning she's capable of being DANGEROUS
My parents had a date night to see this movie. I was 14 at the time. They came home laughing. Been married 55 years. I remember a conversation about the cat in the microwave or something..asked my mother how was the movie Mum she said there were nervous looking men in the audience..😅
Sht no cat in microwave, she put the kids pet rabbit in boiling water.
Glenn Close rocking the most 80's hairdo. Lol
1987 academy award nominee best actress Glenn close..impressive performance. I remember watching these movie in Betamax ..she was so convincing . Her voice her eyes her hair
Another dude thinking with his schfonse 😂😂😂
When two people play with fire 🔥
Play Misty for Me came first. But that being said I loved Fatal Attraction
The constant smiling or smirking and eye contact she has here is a big red flag. You can tell she has some sort of mental problems and at the very least attachment/abandonment issues. You can tell right off she's going to be a problem.
no it's jjust called flirting. your generation didn't grow up with much contact outside of the internet even as adults so you don't recognize flirting the way we used to do it (gen x and boomers)
I absolutely love this film, the acting is so good, I could never get tired of watching it. This is the one movie I was I saw in theaters with a full crowd.
They don't make movies like this anymore. Nowadays it's "Are you discreet?" "No I'm gender fluid"
What are you babbling about?
And they'd get offended.
I remember this movie coming out and all the guys in the ad agency where I worked were scared to death. Especially in advertising and PR agencies there was lots of playing around. It was funny times.
In the real world these type women are everywhere.
And men.
I was a teenager when this movie came out and the lines to see it wrapped around the corner
She's portrayed as the evil one, when he was the married man who couldn't keep it in his pants for two days, betrayed his wife, thought he could just use Alex, and expected her to slink away afterward.
right! it's a beautifully complicated story... remember he tells her he's "happily married" ? Really makes you wonder what that means to him... sounds a bit like "my attractive wife is kept under relative control while I keep myself from routine and boredom..." meanwhile, the women in his fantasy world where he is "happy" get destroyed.....convenient, eh? makes glenn's character relateable to women, no doubt....
@@florencehenderson3707 And he gives his wife the "It didn't mean anything" when he's forced to confess. If it didn't mean anything, why do it? I never understood that.
@@user-fi8lf8bs7p I think maybe men and women think of "mean anything" quite differently. I think for women, the whole thing is more personal. And as hard as it is for me to truly understand, I think men are able to really distance themselves from s#xual encounters. When I think about it, it seems impossible.. but I think there is something in numbers with them.. like I think they are pushed into quantity over quality and I think it happens on a chemical level.. and that's why they're able to distance themselves.. I dunno.. 🤷🤔
Or! Maybe an affair like this, as intense as it was, was more about ego gratification for him than anything else.. and for years scientists have tried to understand the male ego !! I mean it's crazy, he could have been getting it so good from his wife.. we don't know. But the ego might always need more than whatever is there.. I hate to blame biology but I just can't make sense of it any other way. Would a "happily married" woman be as prone to cheating ? Not sure...but I know her ego is not the same. If hubby is not giving her attention she might start to act out... ?? #theories
Maybe it's just a line they use on their spouses... for sure they would be downplaying the affair..."didn't mean anything..." sure buddy... it's an interesting topic. But there are secrets about affairs that will never be shared...secrets the cheater might take to the grave.. but still they'll say "it didn't mean anything.." it's what they HAVE to say...
I liked Alex.I found this character attractive with a lot of energy.She was a well read woman, independent and sexually strong.Whoever felt attracted by her?.The turning point in this movie was when the rabbit was killed.The latter was an idea of the producers.The reason?, the traditional wife's image had to be preserved.
And a complete lunatic.
Glenn Close was so gorgeous in this movie!!!
Really??
@@xana5649 yeah.
I don’t think she was ever gorgeous.
@@Gemmarose9012 you're only jealous of her.
Reminded me in some ways of the 1971 film, "Play Misty for Me" with Clint Eastwood and Jessica Walter. Excellent thriller/drama. 📻🎶🔪!!
Although this script is very well written, only a handful of actors have the ability to take any dialogue and raise it to the next level due to their personality they are
1. Jack Nicholson
2. Michael Douglas
3. James Spader
4. Clint Eastwood
5. Al Pacino
6. Tom Cruise
Any other actors can be easily substituted and the movie will do just fine. The actors above can not replaced.
Denzel Washington is a superb actor.
I'd add Russell Crowe to that list. He's an excellent actor. I'd take Clint Eastwood off the list. He's a crappy actor.
I love this movie! I wish they would have kept the original ending, it was way better than the theatrical version!
the original ending?
@@87scallyThey hold a dance competition to savee the school from greedy developers, wai- oh, sorry wrong movie.
@@87scally IIRC in the original she dies by suicide. The studio thought it made her too sympathetic. They wanted her to be a villain not a tragic figure.
@@BouncyBrown Thank you
Eastwood did this movie earlier. Play Misty for Me.
