Loved this movie ....The performance of Daniel day-Lewis is perfect Michelle pfiefer too the movie is A MASTERPEICE LIKE GONE WITH THE WIND AND OTHER GREAT MOVIES
My family were all extras in the movie Jaws, but after going through the movie frame by frame, we couldn’t find ourselves. Apparently we’re on a cutting room floor. They paid each person $65.00 foot the day but my mother took the money and CLAIMED she was gonna put it into the bank for us. I still don’t know whether I believe her or not.
@@JL-qz1lr I received $65 a day, plus 3 meals. 3 days of shooting. The scene I am in is in the first 10 minutes of the movie. I was wearing an 1880s tuxedo. They provided all wardrobe (there were 700 extras). If you are familiar with the movie, there is a scene in the Opera House (which was filmed at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia) when someone stands up from the private box across the way from the 3 stars. An usher in a George Washington Wig puts a cloak on the person. Then the camera pans to the audience and I am in the first seat of the second row. Black hair and black beard. The elevators weren't working in the building, and I was sitting on the stairs between scenes when DD Lewis, Wynona Ryder and Michelle Pfeiffer came down the stairs and walked right past me. Pretty exciting. But movie making is a boring business. In 3 full days of shooting they got about 8 minutes of film.
EmmaGennaro - I love you. Thank you so much for all the DDL videos you have posted. You have made me a very happy woman. I don't know how or where you get these, but thanks again. Watching all these snipits from all his movies makes me appreciate his talent even more. He is absolutely incredible. It's hard to even imagine Newland Archer as Bill the Butcher or Guido as Hawkeye. He is THE greatest actor of all time. And also quite easy on the eyes.
I think the reason I love this movie is the chance to see DDL be the Most Gorgeous, Gracious, Primo, Grade-A movie star I know he can be! The actor thing is completely fine, but to see him dapper and unsweaty and many, many, facial closeups never ever hurt anybody!
Thank you SO much for posting this. TAoI is one of my absolute favorite movies and I've always dispaired over the lack of "behind the scenes" info: to come across this is an utter delight. Because of his (deservedly so) accolades for his "modern day gangster" films, I feel is one of Scorcese's most underrated. Also, its one of the rare adaptations that's a faithful book-to-movie narrative. Its a shame it was overlooked during that year's Oscar season. My sincere thanks for sharing this.
Hermosa película. Con grandes actuaciones de Michelle Pfeiffer, Daniel Day - Lewis y Winona Ryder. Los actores de reparto también están a un gran nivel.
i loved may's character too. most of the time people feel attached to ellen olenska i felt so much companion to may. she was already engage when she came and she did what she had to in order to save her marriage.
It's funny that he should say The Heiress because the character Archer always reminded me of the Montgomery Clift character in The Heiress. They are both the most elegant of men. Archer even more so. I love that.
Film magnifico, attori magnifici, regia magnifica, costumi magnifici!!! DANIEL FANTASTICO, INDIMENTICABILE, veramente le vittime di una società ipocrita e crudele sono Newland ed Ellen, May organizza bene, con la complicità di tutti, la sua guerra, e la società del tempo gliela fa vincere. Difficile essere dalla sua parte...😢
I adore how accurately they portrayed New York upper class society. "She will fight to the death to save her marriage" I am always cheering May on to toss Olenska out. May wanted Newland to be who he was, while Olenska wanted to change Newland into someone on her terms.
We must have watched different films. May wanted Newland to fit into her tight little world, and Olenska wanted to be free. He says himself that he's more himself with her. Or words to that effect.
May cared for others' feelings and would sacrifice her own happiness if it meant it would cause harm. Ellen wanted to be free and enjoy the arts and saw the same with Newland but they were both handcuffed by their upbringing and the rules of their elite class.
That's what I thought the first time I saw this. But then I matured and re-watched it and realized how excellent it was. You have to be mature and wise to be in a position to appreciate this kind of a film.
SuperBat I agree, and I liked the book. Scorsese spent way too much time twirling his camera over and around the sets and the furniture and the dishes and the clothes (and chose to change the story's timeline from the early 1870s to the later part of the decade, judging from the fashions), and had the actors speak in an overly-cautious, stilted tone. I'm old enough to remember relatives who were born in the 1890s and, besides a few expressions, they mostly talked like we do today. Why they had each actor labor over every word and speak in slow motion is absurd (and not a mark of class, now or then) but it's a common error in most period films--and most likely added to you boredom. I know it did mine.
I feel the exact same way! I was in high school when I saw this movie at its first release at the theatre and it was a 10pm showing. I fell asleep, only to wake up to the credits! I so much appreciate it now. Such an exquisite work of art and fantastic actors!
Well it was called the Ages and Ages of innocence at the time and if it’s not your thing then it’s not. If you gave it another chance now, as the other posters have suggested you might like it. As an older person I found it a visual, sumptuous delight. I think the actors and director may have chosen that speech pattern to demonstrate how they all had to watch what they said all of the time. I thought it was a brilliant way to show how narrow and repressed the society was. Also all three of the main characters had something to hide, even May had her duplicitous behaviour to conceal. It’s also held up remarkably well.
life's hardest reality: wanting things we can't have, and having things we don't want.

Daniel Day-Lewis was and still beautiful ...
Almost 20 years later, wow. I was so young when I first saw this movie, and it still moves me.
And 30 years later , it still does!!!
My favorite film of all time.
"Whether it's 1993 or...2010." Slightly freaky to hear that for some reason. Thanks for uploading this!
The Age of Innocence ... still ❤.
I appreciate in spite of myself.
I was an extra in this movie and got 4 seconds of screen time!
Amazing! Pl tell us what scene/timestamp/costume and any inside tidbits you have from your experience!
@@JL-qz1lr yes!! Although that comment is from 9 years ago. 😟

Most people overlooked this Scorsese film because its very feminine. There's an ingrained sense in our society to think feminine things are less than.
Loved this movie and felt as though it was a great period peice to share for historical value displaying New York society.

Daniel Day Lewis is increidbly handsome and sexy, I wouldn't be able to say not to him

Michelle Pfeiffer can't be more beautiful 😍
Thanks for this, its a shame its not on DVD :(
Amo questo film. Amo gli attori . Ho letto il libro ma il film è sublime. Ogni tanto me lo riguardo con gioia .
thaks a lot.one of the best movies ever made!
i loved may's character too. most of the time people feel attached to ellen olenska i felt so much companion to may. she was already engage when she came and she did what she had to in order to save her marriage.
...but WHAT are you fighting
to save ~
a hollow marriage
a hollow victory...
Who wants to be 2nd best ...
the one he settled for ?
xocalatier , a number of people believe that May's character was actually Sly and controlling while pretending to be so ladylike and innocent .
oh shit this is banging! i was lookin for this for a long while now thanks to the one who put this up on the youb :D
It's funny that he should say The Heiress because the character Archer always reminded me of the Montgomery Clift character in The Heiress. They are both the most elegant of men. Archer even more so. I love that.
DDL clearly is a Montgomery Clift fan!
I've seen his face light-up everytime Clift's name is brought up.
I want some of Marty's hair gel. Serious swag.
love this movie!! the actors are great!
Thank you!!
Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder in the same movie? I like it a lot!
@EmmaGennaro
I recorded this off of cable as well.
I can't believe they never thought to add this to the DVD release.
It's unaccetable, if you ask me.

@@zackclarke2895 I guess both you and I watched the same film
Michelle Roberts Me three, along with you and Zac this is the film I watched and loved based faithfully on a book I also loved.
What they hey, Daniel? Shave!
I liked the messy beard
barbara de finas so boring it confirms that i never want to have anything to do with producing, just directing
Man, this movie is boring!
