"The Hunchback" (1997) - Peter Medak
("The Hunchback of Notre Dame")
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Films I've watched in 2022 (183/210)
The main trio (Patinkin as Quasimodo, Harris as Dom Frollo, Hayek as Esmeralda) is very good, and Jim Dale as Clopin has a good balance in his "dual" role of the fool later revealed to be the King of Truands.
Mandy Patinkin plays Quasimodo with great warmth, humor and vulnerabilty, and his prosthetics are very good. Salma Hayek is vibrant, sensual, empathetic and strong as Esmeralda. Richard Harris's Frollo is a man whose whole world has been shaken to its very core by the feelings Esmeralda stirs in him; his subsequent actions (violent but not in a sexual way) are absolutely not defensible, but you can understand why he does the things he does, and nearly pity him. Nearly. I do also like the fact that he seems to have genuinely cared for Quasimodo, to have taken him in from a genuine wish to protect him.
Full film: (The picture quality isn't too good in this video, but if you can get past that I definitely recommend checking it out.)

Peter Lorre as "Le bossu" in Stupéfiants (Narcotics), the French-language version of Der Weisse Damon (The White Demon), both from 1932 and directed by Kurt Gerron.
I had to slow down that gif because I love Lorre's sly, considering look at his chess companion, half-hidden by his cigarette smoke. Delicious!
Here's the film clip that scene is from:

Toralei’s Campus Stroll Diary - July. Two. Eight.
I went to MH today to pick up some pictures I left in the FearBook office. When I was done, I went up to the belfry. It’s a good place to keep an eye on things without other eyes watching you. It’s also a good place to take a nap. Usually, the hunchback who rings the bells…the bells…works up there, but he was on summer vacation in France or somewhere, so I had the place to myself; until Spectra came floating through that is. She thinks that she’s very stealthy, but it’s almost impossible to sneak up on me, and I heard the rattle of her chains long before she actually appeared. I pretended to be asleep for a moment, then with my eyes still closed, I said, “What do you want, Spectra?” “Oh, hello, Toralei. Did you hear the news?” Most monsters don’t trust anything they hear from Spectra. I know better. There’s always an element of truth in her “news”. You just need to know how to listen. Here’s an example; Spectra told me she heard that Nefera is moving back to town and will be taking over for Ms. Kindergruber in Home Ick. Not only that, but Ms. Kindergruber is also going to quit teaching to become a roadie for her favorite rock and roll band. Now as much fun as it is to imagine Ms. K. climbing stacks of amps while wearing a sleeveless leather vest, bandana, and steel-toed boots, it’s not going to happen. Although when compared to the thought of Nefera actually “lowering herself” to teach, it’s practically a done deal Ms. K. will be hitting the road. I’m pretty sure out of that confusing jumble of information, the one true fact is that Nefera is moving back to town and probably sooner rather than later…now there’s a monster who enjoys kicking somebody when they are down.

EL JOROBADO DE RIALTO
THE HUNCHBACK OF RIALTO
(Español / English)
El 'Gobbo di Rialto' es una escultura situada frente a la Iglesia de San Giacomo di Rialto. He aquí algunas notas históricas:
Esculpida por Pietro da Salò en 1541, representa a un hombre desnudo agachado que sujeta un pequeño tramo de escaleras. A este hombre se le llama comúnmente "Gobbo"(jorobado) debido a su posición. Junto a él se encuentra una columna de granito rojo, conocida como la Columna Bando, procedente de la ciudad de Acre como botín de guerra.
El Gobbo di Rialto se utilizaba como podio para las proclamaciones oficiales. El Comandatore leía las leyes más importantes de la República veneciana o anunciaba los nombres de los condenados a muerte de pie sobre el bloque colocado en la piedra de proclamación. Su ubicación cerca del mercado de Rialto la hacía ideal para estas comunicaciones. También se utilizaba como punto de llegada para los condenados a la pena de flagelación. Los condenados debían besar la estatua para poner fin a su tortura.

The 'Gobbo di Rialto' is a sculpture located in front of the Church of San Giacomo di Rialto. Here are some historical notes:
Sculpted by Pietro da Salò in 1541, it depicts a naked man crouching and holding a small flight of stairs. This man is commonly called "Gobbo" (hunchback) because of his position. Next to it is a column of red granite, known as the Bando Column, from the city of Acre as spoils of war.
The Gobbo di Rialto was used as a podium for official proclamations. The Comandatore read the most important laws of the Venetian Republic or announced the names of those sentenced to death standing on the block placed on the stone of proclamation. Its location near the Rialto market made it ideal for these communications. It was also used as a point of arrival for those sentenced to flogging. The condemned had to kiss the statue to end their torture.

I'm watching The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 out of morbid curiosity and I can't emphasize enough how ridiculously flamboyant this villain is. This isn't even queercoding. They need to invent a new word for whatever Sarousch is.
