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
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.
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
@@Mildredpotka
No. She’s got a point. Pay close attention to the eye acting, especially when he’s talking. They scream desperate and clingy. There are problems in her eyes. Great acting.
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
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.
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....
Yeah, and she's really pretty
*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
slang
a person, esp a woman, who is considered to be emotionally unstable and likely to be dangerously vengeful
Collins English Dictionary. Copyright © HarperCollins Publishers
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😥
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.
@@PointofConnectionDan had a lovely home life, we didn’t see him and his wife have any hardships. Dan cheated because he wanted to.
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.
Even more impressive - from what I understand, he shot both movies at the same time.
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.
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?
@@Khan11u 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.
@@Khan11u 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.
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.
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 ❤
One of my favorites. Excellent film. Back when actors were actually the best at their craft.
I know right
"Back when" oh blah blah blah
@@arrowix98 Agreed. There are still good actors now
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.
😂😂
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.
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
This whole sequence is just phenomenal acting and cinematography.
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!
I’m not seeing it. Not an attractive woman in my estimation.
She's playing an obsessed psycho flawlessly 💯
@@rosspimental8384 then you need to get glasses.
@@rosspimental8384 then get yourself a pair of glasses
I thought Glen was gorgeous in this role with that wild hair framing her face. But she was also scary.
Not to mention her personality goes good with her hair too. It shows off her wild side.
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.
To be with a MARRIED man.
@@yokiryuchan7655 he should have just gone home and walked the dog after their drink.
@@sallyjoan He should have never went to dinner with her.
Dan fell for the "discreet promise" hook, line, and sinker! 👌🏼🤣👍🏼🙄
Men love discretion. So many things can be swept under the carpet if you are discreet.
Woman my tell you they’re ok with no strange attached but it’s a trick. In their eyes you become obligated to them afterwards
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.
@@taroman7100 come on, you fancy her really
This is the kind of flirting men can't resist, words beautifully expressed and made it more inviting.
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 forget about Basic Instinct with Sharon Stone
Saw this at the theaters when it came out.....did not expect it to be so powerful. Phenomenal movie and acting.
This movie was so huge in the 80s. I remember when it came out.
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
What's done in the dark always comes to the light
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 .
Weird to see this movie you saw in the theaters and realize it's so old that they light cigs in the restaurant. Wow....
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.
Such an intense scene. Incredible both of them.
....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
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.
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
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
amazing acting by Glenn Close
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
A better time with better actors and actresses. Michael and Glenn are superb
One of my favorite scenes.
Phenomenal acting from all actors.
Glenn deserved an Oscar.
UGH, Glenn Close is one of my favorite all-time actresses. She steals every scene she’s in!
Mine too. One of the greatest!
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.
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
Turn back time and give her the damn Oscar!
One lucky guy she stood up.
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...
"I definitely think it's up to you." The first sign of Dan's character flaw as a husband. He refuses to put his foot down when he sees where this is going, and Alex did make her intentions very clear.
Glenn Close was just as remarkable as she was menacing. A very memorable movie, to say the least.
I still get goosebumps over her psycho acting.
Glen Close was positively gorgeous in this movie.
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.
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.
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.
Why? She was way more attracted to him than with the other guy...
Eerie the way she cradles his hand while she lights up.
Don't do it Michael, run...Run....RUN !!!
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...
Talk about missing 100 red flags 😂
She damn lied when she said she’s discreet 😂🐰😢
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.
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.
Alex:: "Are you discreet?"
Also Alex: "It only takes a phone call!!"
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…
Glenn Close as Baby Jane & Meryl Streep as Blanche.
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.
This film was perfectly cast, GC captured the character's nuances perfectly. MD was such a charismatic and watchable bad boy. Affairs are not about beauty, are about availability, secrets/lies, and naughtiness, and besides, GC looked fab here. Affair-girls are usually average if not plain. Beautiful women don't need to resort to being some man's side-chick, they already get many offers for the real deal.
This was a woman who had been been hurt/used before, not about to get tossed aside this time around. Got the feeling this character was playing out a personal revenge against previous men who'd scorned her.
Excellent movie, the ending was too dramatic imo.
Glenn,should have won
The Oscar", hands down!!!
Sin duda un robo total !!!!
Yes Cher winning was a freaking joke
@@catherinecatlover😲
I'm not gonna be ignored Dan!!!!
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
Glenn should have won an Oscar
Cher winning was a freaking joke
@@catherinecatlover no it was not.
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.
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.
Play Misty for Me came first. But that being said I loved Fatal Attraction
She is 100% the opposite of 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!
Another cheat movie.is "Unfaithful"
Richard Gere, Diane Lane and Albert Martinez.
Play Misty for Me, I think Clint Eastwood did not cheat. It's just the woman was crazy about him, he was a DJ in a radio.
If this movie hasn’t kept you from cheating; nothing will!
I wonder what the standard of beauty was back many years ago when this movie was made? because I heard in many interviews Glen Close barley got this role because film makers thought she was not pretty enough, I think she is beautiful.
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!
I was a teenager when this movie came out and the lines to see it wrapped around the corner
She was perfect, and so very beautiful with those curls. I love you Glenn, your movies have exhilarated me. Thank you for being you. ❤❤
Douglas is 80 years old today. Great acting legacy.
Omg look how young they are
* they were
Glen Close was Born to Play this amazing complex character. What an actres. She is very attractive woman but can be very scary in the same time.
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!
If you watch the documentary rehearsal/audition footage, Glenn Close does this scene multiple times and each time she does it differently. What an actress! Each time she does it (sad version, sexy version, quiet version etc.), it makes you wonder how the movie would have been different if that clip made the movie. That's real talent!
Glenn Close rocking the most 80's hairdo. Lol
Glenn Close was so gorgeous in this movie!!!
@Xana yeah.
I don’t think she was ever gorgeous.
@@Gemmarose9012 you're only jealous of her.
When I was 6 I had a huge crush on Michael Douglas in romancing the stone. I was 14 when I seen this movie and I saw him in a whole different light. 😮
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? 🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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
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)
Notice how the waiter ignores him. He will later ignore Alex.
“I’m discreet.”
Calls wife
Boils rabbit
Breaks into family home
Not the Oxford definition, but yeah .... kinda discreet
Lol 😆
Pretty goddam good a movie, especially considering it was made in 1987. One minute you're in love with Alex and the next you despise her. Awesome performances by all the actors
Glenn played it so perfect, you really believe she's in love with him and would kill.
G.C. should have received an Oscar for this role.
Several actresses were considered for the leading role of Alex Forrest in “Fatal Attraction.”
Among them, DEMI MOORE, who was soon turned down for being too young. Born in 1962, she was in her twenties when the film was shot.
ANNIE POTTS was offered to be Alex Forrest, but she dismissed it. Born in 1952, she was in her thirties when the picture was made.
One favorite contender, BARBARA HERSHEY came close to personate Alex Forrest and was willing to, but - to her chagrin - she was unavailable. Born in 1948, she was in her late thirties at the time.
In the end, as we all know, GLENN CLOSE was cast as Alex Forrest, despite not being a credible prospect at first in the eyes of reluctant producers : they did not believe she was “sexual enough”❗️ She was ultimately granted an audition, proved those skeptical minds wrong*… and the rest is history❕ A CLOSE CALL (pun intended)❗️
Born in 1947, Miss Close was about 40 years old in 1987. In the movie, Alex’s age is mentioned a couple of times : 36-odd years old. For instance, based on unused opera tickets (Giacomo Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly”), we see that it is 1986, putting Alex’s birth year at 1950.
Thanks to ONE OUTSTANDINGLY GIFTED FEMALE PERFORMER, “Fatal Attraction” has become a cult classic, better yet a genuine cinematographic and cultural phenomenon‼️ 💎🎬💎
* She made the ever so complex key-personage her own : one Alex Forrest who could not possibly be “ignored” by pic fans❕

Great comment 👍
@@scouser19a Thank your very much. Warmest regards to you.
I agree. Wonderful contribution!
@@Khan11u Thank you, and warmest regards to you.
It would have been interesting to see how the other actresses you mentioned would have played this part.
This movie breaks my heart for the wife because she's absolutely adorable. He cheats on her so easily like it was nothing, without any stress. Total disregard for his wife or getting caught. I would've dumped him so fast. All he wanted was to get his rocks off while recklessly handling the fate of his family.. it's truly evil.
she was the real victim, just like in unfaithful movie the french guy was the main victim
But only because Karma did hit them - by their own initiative.
