@@paulheydarian1281 Why would you ask that Paul? It's a bit childish don't you think? Have you no education about the abuse inflicted upon the vulnerable at all or did your parents fail you by not raising you correctly? Seriously, how old are you?
I remember her in the movie I’ve been trying to purchase for my children for years! It’s Tom Sawyer! It was made in 1973, when I was a little girl, too, not much younger than Jodie Foster. Ever since I saw her in that movie, along with Johnny Whitaker, I’ve been a fan of hers, not a crazy fan, but just interested in what movie she’s in. There have been a lot of them because she’s continually worked as an actress since she was elementary school aged! When I was a young high school student, I was shocked when our President Reagan was shot by John Hinckley and he claimed it was for Jodie!! I thought that was extremely stupid of him, and why would she care about that, anyway? I’m sure that Jodie Foster was glad President Reagan wasn’t killed, but involving the POTUS in a crush on a young movie star! …How thoroughly ridiculous!! I felt badly for both the President AND Jodie!! 😮😢
Both men are abusers. Father n son . Maybe son’s mother got ( killed). Both men make corpses disappear ( something that continues,sort of like a tradition. Bodies found by stumbling upon bones)
Like Stings’ song, ‘ every breath you take, I’ll be watching you.. I like actor Lithgow . He’s a good character actor. “ Terms of endearment” great movie.
Jodie Foster: Well I'm just about to start this movie. I know full well that anything with the beautiful and talented Jodie Foster has to be of exceptional performance. ❤❤❤
@@JudithSanchez-j3k / Mr Lithgow actor was made o look old. Here he’s no more than 30 or 35. He’s a great character actor. See him in “ Terms of Endearment “ with Debra winger( she was having an affair w/ Lithgow).
One has to realize that this was a time when women had no rights. They were bought and sold like furniture or livestock. They were completely at man's disposal. Right or wrong, it was how the world lived. True love was rare. They were servants in their own homes and only valued as potential child-bearers. There were many women consigned to fates far worse than hers.
Not historically accurate. Many women were running their husbands estates and kept the books. Some also inherited if no male heir. Saying they were cattle is blowing things out of proportion. Also there were laws against domestic abuse and peers pressure. The problem is that things were more taboo.
Very interesting movie. So sad that her husband and his Dad were jerks. Glad the younger brother was supportive and was able to help get a better life than the one she started with.
A very sad story,l lived in similar violent relationships and mental , emotional and sexual abuse is just as damaging to a woman as physical abuse🤔🔦this is probably based on a true story of a poor woman's life,she deserved to be with a man who appreciated her🛡️🙏🙏l hope she found peace and happiness with the other brother George 👍
We where both young then 23 then known for years also hung with same friends over the years...she was a student of my Aunt and her ex husband in college...😊
Although he was abusive, she gets away with his murder because she's such a talented hypnotist, and no one knows how she could get him to take the poison willingly. Even the actual giving of it is left to our imagination. What a beautiful femme fatale, and no one is going to condemn her, because he was such a bastard.
@@catherinekeller4230 Yes, what a monster. He has to be, so we don't have any qualms about his murder. Of course on one level, we know she shouldn't get away with murder, but the film cleverly seduces us and takes all our misgivings away.
Why did he want to many her in particular? Was she his daughter who had been placed in the orphanage 18 years prior? And the baby she had that died, a product of incest with her father unbeknownst to her? Unanswered questions. Creepy.
@Trudy *Even Victoria asked (her brother-in-law) how her husband found her. Everyone knows about mail order brides btw. No need for bold letters acting like a know it all.*
@@TrudyPatootie That doesn't explain the opening scene, hiding the identity of the man dropping off his son's unwanted offspring in the Victorian era of hypocrisy & appearances, New Zealand became a British colony in 1840. Then there's the 20+ year age gap and the twisted obsession of the "husband" (father) for the naive girl, spying on her. He wanted his child back in his life, and this "marriage" (adoption) satisfied his curiosity. That's my take on it. People are strange, and incest is as commonplace now as then, perhaps even more so back when women had few rights, and no access to social workers or legal help, or youtube, and such dreadful intimate revelations were not discussed in polite society. There was a tv series called "Mistral's Daughter" on the subject of an father's unnatural lust for his daughter, made in 1984. "Mesmerized" came out in 1985.
He made me nervous from the first moment and Jodie Foster's performance triggered a panic attack at the same time that the film captured 100% of my attention and the atmospheres were well created with the music.
Only at given times, when they are in love and then mostly to have children. Never in human history women and men were together as nowadays. Married men worked with men, married women with women. Men dealt with men, women dealt with women. A man would sometimes help a woman and viceversa, but friendships between women and men were never not at all tolerated as they are nowadays. Orthodox saints also say marriage is not happiness but martyrdom. Why? Because men and women are so far apart.
This is based on a true crime that happened in 1886, London. The TH-cam channel "They Got Away with Murder" featured it: "A Poisoning in Pimlico" was the name of the video. The actual story is fascinating!
An excellent TH-cam channel by the way "They got away with murder" by Mark J. Maguire, so glad you mention it. All the cases he reviews are fascinating because of his reasearch, reasoning and masterful narration.
Janet, "PS": I know looked at the "Poisoning in Pimlico" once more, because I couldn't recall a similar story on the channel "They got away with murder". Now I know why - the actual story is so different from the movie and where it put (at least the moral) blame that I didn't remember them as similar. So I guess Hollywood /Foster put their own perspective on it, which makes sense in the context if the movie story and her sympathetic figure. Just that it doesn't seem to bear much resemblance to the facts. But again, thank you for making the link!
It was so great to see a great film from New Zealand , ❤❤❤ . The 80s was a very good era for " film 🎥. "Smash place," "Battle truck," "Came a hot Friday," "Utu," "Quite Earth," "the piano," "Veglelance" may well have spilt that wrong ????. Great kiwi films.
Her husband was unpleasant. He probably bought her, and she was trapped in an unfortunate marriage. But make no mistake, she was a murderess. Just because we sympathize with her doesn't mean she wasn't a calculated murderess.
So,sad that many yrs ago women suffered alot of abuse and had to just put up with it…….. how mnay young girls had their lives ruined by being forced to marry young to older men who abused them
It is truly sad, and as women ee understand our bodies and how horrible it would be to have someone impose horrible things on us, so I believe women who allow men to hurt their daughters should be held more accountable like Jennifer Soto who forced her daughter into a predators clutches daily.
A Jodie Foster film I have never seen. And Lithgow did not disappoint as the pervert husband. I'd have to say, if Victoria and George made it out, God bless them both. The rest of the men, as portrayed, were flawed at best. And Victoria certainly beat the odds stacked completely against her -- marriage, the church, medicine, servants -- all part of a fabric woven to subordinate anyone with a dream of freedom.
Jodie as we all know can be a most expressive actress. She was so expressionless and bland here that one lost interest quickly. In this film, there was virtually no character development of Victoria. It was a dark, boring, weird film with the audience left wondering what was going on. No wonder most people have never heard of this. I looked it up and the critics felt much as I did.
but even if one is hypnotized, how would this affect the pure physics of chemical burn in the throat? physics and chemistry know nothing of the human mind or its potential to block out pain -- but blocking out pain is an entirely different thing than affecting the physical laws involving how chemistry works.
Exactly 👍 besides why the drs didn't think about intubation? Only through a tube from mouth to stomach can explain absence of burn in mouth and windpipe. Or may be intubation was not done in those days🤔
@@baisalimitra4865 yeah, but even with intubation, there would still have been signs of chemical burns in the stomach and intestines. the tube would only lead in to the stomach. but the stomach would still be filled with the chloroform or chloride or what ever she supposedly used. and it would certainly have burned its way in to his intestines, which means the evidence of what she had done would still be in his body regardless.
@@quinnoshaughnessy you are so right. Erosive gastritis was not mentioned in the movie. The actual case happened in 1885 or 1886, don't know how much info could be obtained from autopsy done by a Dr known to the victim and accused at that time.
Awesome brilliant Jodie foster! She’s very good and the performance was amazing! I was surprised at the end when the actor was dead 💀 and suddenly rising and attacking her! Brilliant! Thanks for sharing! 🩵🩵
@@rtru9801 If you really had watched this movie, you would have understood that he accused his wife of killing his brother, which wasn't true. So she spent months in agony because she believed she did kill him, even by accident. But the brother was well and alive in Australia. When he wrote to her, the creepy husband kept the letters in his drawer, so that the wife couldn't know. That's very abusive !
@@misstoujoursplus... Besides emotional and psychological abuse, there was rape, the not allowing her to go anywhere alone, the voyeurism... Did I miss anything?
I can’t believe I sat through this. I love Jodie Foster and John Lithgow but this was an abysmally written movie. No character development to speak of and the slow burn didn’t help except to create a fizzle.
I am watching it on October 16 2024,so that was Him peeking through the hole really,yeah,pervert would be the right word,untill I can find another word.
The younger brother was wearing a light coloured hoodie type jacket near the start of the movie when they go to see the dogs, was there such type of clothing in mid 1880's??
He accused her to have killed his brother, which wasn't true. The brother wrote to her from Australia where he went and her husband never told her that he was alive. Imagine the suffering of this woman !
He was also constantly trying to humiliate her, forcing her to do gross things because he was a creep. He let his dad treat her like crap. He controlled her. He peeped on her when she was undressed, for God's sake! It's implied that he was a sexual pervert.
The husband was sick in bed for most of the film. The little orphan married at an early age with prudish manners a rotten prude. No emotion ....so very cold. The actress is known for her cold robotic roles. Abusive ......lol You people do not have any idea of what an abusive husband is. I know. I live it.
Jodi Foster always raises the acting bar not too many these days can reach. Stunning !!!!!
Seriously, she is the business.
1:26:19 And can you imagine the intensity of playing that role so early in her career!
Jodi Foster is a lesbian, never convincing as a heterosexual. She once told an interviewer that she wasn’t a good actress. I concur.

Did you watch the movie? How did you not get the abuse????
@@ChrisAllison5036Okease do enlighten us on this imaginary abuse
@@rtru9801 If you really had watched this movie, you would have understood that he accused his wife of killing his brother, which wasn't true. So she spent months in agony because she believed she did kill him, even by accident. But the brother was well and alive in Australia. When he wrote to her, the creepy husband kept the letters in his drawer, so that the wife couldn't know. That's very abusive !
@@misstoujoursplus... Besides emotional and psychological abuse, there was rape, the not allowing her to go anywhere alone, the voyeurism...
Did I miss anything?
@@TheWanderingFinnegan No, you're right🤩
The kiwi accents they've put on make us sound like aussies
I hate to break it to you, but to most Americans Kiwi accents sound Australian lol. Sorry! 😂
Great movie 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
I can’t believe I sat through this. I love Jodie Foster and John Lithgow but this was an abysmally written movie. No character development to speak of and the slow burn didn’t help except to create a fizzle.
You sound so much stronger and brighter. Always put y
Excellent movie.
Thankyou x
I am watching it on October 16 2024,so that was Him peeking through the hole really,yeah,pervert would be the right word,untill I can find another word.
You cannot put commercials every ten minutes and break the flow of this film.
The younger brother was wearing a light coloured hoodie type jacket near the start of the movie when they go to see the dogs, was there such type of clothing in mid 1880's??
Not sure, but that's a fair question. Thanks S.
There is no hood on his jumper just a large collar
Great movie.
Thanks Kath. Glad you liked it.
I do not understand this story. In what way is he abusive to her ??
He accused her to have killed his brother, which wasn't true. The brother wrote to her from Australia where he went and her husband never told her that he was alive. Imagine the suffering of this woman !
He was also constantly trying to humiliate her, forcing her to do gross things because he was a creep. He let his dad treat her like crap. He controlled her. He peeped on her when she was undressed, for God's sake! It's implied that he was a sexual pervert.
He wouldn’t let her be an individual, that was how he abused her, she was a prisoner. They in no way relayed sexual abuse.
@@industrialcathedral, what gross things?
@@brendabrown7130 like underssing in front of him?
The husband was sick in bed for most of the film.
The little orphan married at an early age with prudish manners a rotten prude.
No emotion ....so very cold.
The actress is known for her cold robotic roles.
Abusive ......lol
You people do not have any idea of what an abusive husband is.
I know.
I live it.
Fantastic!!! 👏👏👏👏
Mystery movie!!!!!!!
Thank you soo much for uploading this movie.
You're welcome Rb.
I didn't finish it, just found it slow and boring. The husband is very strange. In fact him and his father are terrible!
