Part 23 - Around the World in 80 Days (1989)

[@everos100]

It was Pierce Brosnan's first film, which they gave to us. Then I was 15 and I fell in love with him. Today, 28 years later, I love the movie and the hero even more than before.

[@singhanmolpreet5935]

Its a miniseries*

[@ttigerbell6060]

32 thumbs up along with 32 yr later

[@alidamalina]

Great movie, a timeless classic! It manifests the most important human values, such as friendship, forgiveness and above all, true love, as it really should be: pure, self-sacrificing, unconditional, as well as brave enough to be expressed. Huge congratulations and eternal thanks to the creators!

Beautiful movie n good old memories, I watched this movie ones before n today watched it all over again after 34 years! 🥰

[@PoojaSharma-pr2xb]

Loved every second of all the 23 parts!! ❤️ such masterpiece!!

[@mgreg8134]

Of all the versions of this story I have seen this one has to probably be my favorite so many great recognizable actors.

[@stephenquinn-music1251]

Just finished watching the serie, think this was even better than the 1956 film

[@sandothemando8924]

I remember watching this as a kid and being on the edge of my seat in the lead up to the ending...

[@ssebinnnyy]

Phileas Fogg was unemotional and stoic in the book but Pierce Brosnan here is very lively. Also Aouda proposes to him instead of him to her

[@evelinagotchkova7548]

That's right, that's why I don't like Fogg from the book, he disappoints me, especially in the end. Thousands of times I prefer this mini-series. Brosnan recreated his love for Aouda in a unique way - even with just a glance.

[@easternlights3155]

@@evelinagotchkova7548 That's why I liked Brosnan's performance here so much. Characters like Fogg (stoic and stuck up at times) slip so easily into being completely insufferable, but he makes Fogg true to his characterization on the book while also making him genuinely likeable and endearing. Rather than a man without feelings, he comes off as someone who is very emotional by nature, but tries his damndest to hide it, which is infinitely interesting to watch.

[@evelinagotchkova7548]

@@easternlights3155 I agree. And not only is it interesting, but it is also an endless pleasure to watch. Determined and unyielding in character, but extremely soft inside. He knows how to express his feelings and the happiness of his beloved is the most important thing for him. My favorite Brosnan role and my favorite character ever.

[@evelinagotchkova7548]

Brosnan's Fogg is indeed better than the book's Fogg in many ways. 1) He gave his dismissed servant - an adult, not a 15-year-old, two weeks' salary. 2) Early on, showed much more concern for Passepartout in Paris and gradually developed a friendship with him. 3) He was warmer towards people, for example when he taught the Egyptians to play whist with great patience. 4) They showed his moral principles, in relation to the women he met on his way. 5) There was a much greater contribution to the salvation of Aouda, and probably also to that of Passepartout, who rose from the pyre quite late and it is a wonder how he did not suffocate from the flames under the blanket. 6) Showed a lot of tenderness and feelings towards Aouda. 7) Showed sense, like on the ship "Tankadere", took care of the safety of Aouda and his own, down in the cabin, and not to stay on deck, as in the book. 8) He went through many more hardships on his way to Shanghai, which he withstood without an iota of anger or indignation. 9) There was love and romance between him and Aouda unlike in the book. 9) Confronted James Jesse to protect Aoud, not because of a personal grudge. 10) Involved Aouda in the game of whist from the beginning. 11) He explained to Aouda why he couldn't commit to her, and then he himself found the courage to offer her his heart and hand with the desire to change her life. 12) He split his profit with Fix and Passepartout so that they could be happy with their beloved women, and although Fix did nothing for him during the trip, and in the end even arrested him, Fogg forgave him. For all that, I adore Pierce Brosnan's Fogg!

Magnificent memories u bring dear

[@44musher]

Fantastic ! Thank you...

[@chena3]

came across pt 22 of this movie watched a bit, then chased it back to pt 1 spent the evening watching a great movie thanx +1

[@poragahmed6598]

Wonderful

[@115road]

Of all the productions of Verne's novel, this has got to be the best. Is there anyway to have the film without being cut into 23 segments? That would be the icing on the cake. That is the wedding cake : )

[@reneenoldus3621]

I absolutely loved every minute. Thank you so much!!

[@trippcory]

Pierce Bronsan was my favorite Phileas Fogg. David Niven, Steven Coogan and Mickey Mouse were all good foggs thought too.

[@RingoandCarlin]

Yes this was the greatest role Pierce ever did. He was the best of all the Fogg.

[@randyflamini9285]

Thanks! Very nice!!!

[@trippcory]

Yes indeed

[@Ninja-wm5pg]

1:19 the best part And 3:07 when he says “that is what I said”

[@MaisAnimado]

Ah, I loved this miniseries! It managed to be quite faithful to the book, and what was created above does not escape (in general) the reality of the original story! And there was still their wedding scene in the credits! Clap for this production! Ah, eu amei essa minissérie! Ela conseguiu ser bastante fiel ao livro, e o que foi criado em cima não foge (no geral) da realidade da história original! E ainda teve cena do casamento deles nos créditos! Palmas para essa produção!

[@evelinagotchkova7548]

I totally agree. For me, the miniseries is better than the book in many ways, mainly because Fogg was acting like a real man here - he acknowledged his feelings for Aouda, made her a marriage proposal, took her with him to the club, regardless of order. I adore Fogg-Pierce Brosnan's hero!

[@shelbymitchell1828]

I live Eric Idle he is a favorite of mine with Monty Python

[@lukez5117]

It took me a month to see this movie 🙋🏻

[@chanu541]

Detactive is very funny

[@rb1691]

My favorite is the David Niven version. But this comes close.

[@evelinagotchkova7548]

In the first version, there was nothing but acting and beautiful scenery. In the version with Brosnan, there is a deep relationship, Fogg showed his full character and mainly, his love for Aouda - this was missing in the first version, as well as in the book. For me, this is the best version.

[@ieungeggcats]

AOUUUUUDAAAAA

[@JMJung-od4em]

I don't mind this Fogg but I like the book character better. I love the good and generous man under the stoic surface. And he feels much more right as a British gentleman of those times, with exact habits and preferences. To each his own.

[@evelinagotchkova7548]

That's right, everyone has an opinion. But personally, I wouldn't trust a guy who doesn't show any feelings. Gentlemanly habits are a good thing, but when there is true love, these understandings and habits must sometimes be neglected for the sake of the beloved woman. Otherwise, believe me, love can be broken after time. Brosnan's Fogg is a true gentleman. He also knew how to love and forgive, which I didn't see in Fogg from the book. Moreover, Fogg's self-sacrificing actions in the series moved me many times more.

[@evelinagotchkova7548]

I see nothing gentlemanly in the Fogg of the book leaving Aouda to wait obediently at home for him to go alone to the Reform Club, with Passepartout, as if she had not traveled and risked her life with them. There is nothing gentlemanly, nor is it right, for a man of those times to wait for a woman to propose marriage without him showing his feelings for her. Certainly 19th century gentlemen would not, especially those who truly love. They have fought for their beloved women. Fogg probably had an unrequited love in the past, he explained himself to some lady, she rejected him, and he swore to himself never to show feelings again. That's the only way I can justify it, though not entirely, because women are different.

[@barbarablue2571]

Pierce Brosnan for me is not 007 but Phileas Fogg

[@matthewkirby6080]

Pasportaut can’t spell his name is Monty Python star, Eric Idle.

[@grindupBaker]

How come they didn't invite poor old Detective Fix to stay with them at Phineas's at 6:13? That's not very hospitable.

[@alidamalina]

Detective Fix wasn't poor, nor that old, or he wouldn't be running around the world chasing the 'thief'. He had a home in London and now he could go home. Fogg considered himself ruined, at such a difficult time Fix was simply not welcome. It was also Fix's fault that Fogg lost the bet because no one knew yet that they had actually arrived a day early. It was a real miracle that Fogg still forgave the detective and split the money with him, and Fix was able to marry his Millie. And Fix knew he was to blame for Fogg's supposed loss, so he wasn't going to stay at his house. No man with a conscience would do that.

14:50 " ..the evidence before your very eyes" but it is hardly an evidence, strictly speaking. it could easily be a yesterday's newspaper !

[@RpGfreak901]

He could've just said "the international dateline" to make it easier to understand.

[@mckernan603]

Why’d they change it to 9 o’clock?
