Bright eyes, by art Garfunkel

I took it to mean she hated him by her single word - enough she saw him for the coward he was

@@johanvajse8410 hi Johan, I feel that what ever interpretation we have depends on where we are when we watch it in our lives. Grief, anger, heartbreak... So many emotions.

​@@AussieBenita, I agreed with @johanvajse8410 . She had sometime to after the "beyond my control" treatment with various facts he admitted about other women. The last words were useless; hence, she said "enough". Grief, sad, wasted, heartbroken, guilt(since she said at least twice about pride and 'not listen to the advice'), etc. and she had a husband too. Yes, to her at that point, it was all too late, too dead, too far gone, too embarrassed, too sad, and too ill/defeated. And, Coward he was indeed.

@@Alex-pm8wr 🌷Yes, I see what you say. It was too late.

+VelvetGal5 The feeling that you have for a man like that may be very very strong, but it is not love. It is addiction.

VelvetGal5 So do I. Valmont et Tourvel this relationship is touching me. So sad to them.

I hope you are still around,and have come to see that your own self worth and value and life are worth more than any dude ever could be,

Are u still alive? Hope u can recover.

Your true love will come.

the music es perfect!

👏🏻👏🏻Spot on!Pure Narcissism!

what about the sinister Madame Merteuil ego's? off course is a woman is innocent!

Well said. i might add that Madame de Tourvel's fall killed Valmont and her death triggered Madame Merteuil's humiliation. (Yes, Valmont struck back after his death but people turned on M. Merteuil because M. Tourvel was so loved.)

@@astrofabio68 yeah, women are always innocent and men are never responsible 🙄🙄🙄 They are both equally guilty of what happened but he shouldn't have given Tourvel up. It was more important to him to sleep with a woman he didn't love than his true feelings. He had something = Tourvel love, Merteuil had nothing but her ego, she had to hang on it

@@aci1970 How can you say he didnt love Merteuil? They both love each other in the movie! He precisely has made all the sacrifices she required, the way she told him to, repeating the words she requested him to use. He is dying to turn back to her, even told her he wanted "to come back home", when he broke up with Tourvel he came back asking what happened to the man from her earlier story, if he had been received back? (it was of course about him, hoping inside she will receive him back). He has tantrums of jealousy, he demands her that it's also her turn to make sacrifices (and you dont tell that to a person you want to sleep with once, and not with that autoritharian voice as if you own her...but he was truly desperate to have her back), he told her he can still make her happy if they untie the knot, that in fact nothing had been broken between them. He even said Tourvel that is about a woman "he adores" that requested he would give up on her. There is a constellation of so many signs that he truly loves Merteuil. She is just skeptical, for some reasons that i cant truly grasp but i speculate that she loved him badly and he betrayed her, "going in his journeys" (from where he wanted to come back to her, and mind how she closes her eyes when she hears that from him, as if deep down somewhere she would want that too, but she doesnt want to trust him anymore). The topic about a man who is totally devoted to her is recurrent throughout the movie which makes me speculate that she loved Valmont but he was not devoted totally to her,despite de love that they apparently and esentially share. Cause thats her problem at the end: she is messed up by her vanity, past wounds and incapacity to trust him anymore (remember when she told him: "illusions are always sweet" and he tells her back "there is no more illusions, i lost them on my journeys"..."now i want to come back home" and hugs-kisses her). And she still gets hurt by what he does, she gets hurt by his stories filled with emotions about Tourvel, she gets hurt when he says whata happens with Tourvel is "beyond his control" and seeks revenge by the means of the same words when she sends him back to break up with her by using exactly the same words. She is just such hurt creature, still bleeding for him because she is still actively loving him. Thats so unfair if anyone says he didnt love Merteuil. He loved her even more than he loved Tourvel, apparently. Or this is how it came to me through the movie. And she also was loving him. Her cry at the end was, beyond other colateral damages, that she lost him, she killed him basically with her vanity and incapacity to trust him. As she herself says: "vanity and happiness are incompatible". She was painfully aware of it. Sure that many would question: should she have trusted him? Cause his habits and behavior with women wouldnt advise her to do so (he may well turn back to his escapades). But the way i understood their story was that there was something deeper and stronger out there, wasnt just about one night spent together. I want to believe she should have trusted him based on all the mentioned evidences :) (or at least i wish i saw this happy end, between Valmont and Merteuil, NOT between Valmont and Tourvel, Tourvel has a husband 😂)

Hope you sought out help and got over whoever that loser was.

@@crowleysridgegirl please recover and dont waste your life for someone who does not deserve your love especially your life. God bless you.

@@mightyobserver12 oh yeah I’m good, I was replying to that person above and you probably meant them too

I m so sorry for you my dear I m here if you want a listener . But let me tell you I had many broken 💔 I ve been broken many time now I stronger I wish it for you too😢❤

That sounds great, although I don't mind Malkovich one bit. Certainly no one else apart from these two could have done Valmont's character justice in the movie.

Malkovich is so perfect in this role. With all my love for Rickman I would not change John for him in this movie.

John Malkovich was just perfection

Malkovich is much better

@@joas3324 How would you even know that? Did you see Rickman perform in the play? He was nominated for a Tony award.

It is possible to die of a broken heart.

Many have died from a broken heart
