Tourvel and Valmont

[@candyhunter4262]

Just watched this today,first bars of the music and I was away 😢 this is the only song in my life that I’ve not ever been able to listen to for a second time! The first time I heard the song was as a child watching the film Bright Eyes! Talk about tears!!

[@呀你可]

She is so beautiful!

[@seimio8077]

Very well cast movie.Michelle Pfeiffer is stunning,Glen Close and John Malkovich deliver to perfection.This movie is the classic example of how a man's arrogance and ego can not only cost him the love of his life but also his own life.Valmont puts the rivalry with Merteuil and his pride regarding his ruthless playboy reputation above his love for Madame Tourvel.He believes to be immune to love.When Madame Tourvel falls gravely ill(due to a broken heart)he realizes that his life is worthless without her.Two lives wasted for one man's ego and arrogance.

[@beatricewagner5794]

👏🏻👏🏻Spot on!Pure Narcissism!

[@astrofabio68]

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

[@willardsteele4857]

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.)

[@aci1970]

@@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

[@irish9463]

@@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 😂)

Song, movie, acting and I'm sobbing 💔 . Beautifully created. Thank you

[@melwyl]

I love Michelle Pfeiffer in this film. She broke my heart with her emotional luggage and expressions (especially at the end). And Malkovich was ... *awkward pause* ... totally desirable. :)

[@andregomes1280]

GREAT Michelle..Sao Paulo- BRASIL

[@laurabianchi4257]

Una delle storie d'amore più belle, film stupendo e tre attori super

[@pacoenfadonha]

omg GOOD movie!! He is so mean to her with the "It´s beyond my control" thing.....

[@halehmarandi9033]

I think after Daniel Day Lewis John Malkovich is the greatest actor of the 20th century he was sensational in Dangerous Liaisons

[@demitri1011]

I think so. Its very famous, and it is one of the classic period drama of the 80s.

[@kristinwolf1165]

I ask did she die happy or even more distraught knowing that he loved her very much but its too late to do anything about it?? I would feel sadder honestly. So did she die because she was waiting for his true declaration of love or because her heart broke some more over what could have been....

[@johanvajse8410]

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

[@AussieBenita]

@@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.

[@Alex-pm8wr]

​@@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.

[@AussieBenita]

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

[@Crazy4life24]

I got cast in this role for my school's competition season. We are doing the play version of Les Liaisons Dangereuses, and I cannot wait to wear the costume and really play the role of Tourvel :D

[@adele-md4rm]

What a beautiful “should have been” love story. He sure was skilled at deceit. Would have worked on me too lol

[@cattepusen]

Wow that was really sad ); I LOVED it. The song fits perfectly

[@jeanneadele]

i never thought it was possible to die of heartbreak, so when i first saw this movie, i couldn't help but think it was nonsense. to my deepest surprise, now i know differently. dfk, you're the death of me.

[@annamillan2903]

It is possible to die of a broken heart.

[@TheCharliemike11]

Many have died from a broken heart

[@mariajosebayma323]

Maravilhosa! Em o Feitiço de Aquila também..

[@VelvetGal5]

People do die from heartbreak. It's called Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy - Broken Heart Syndrome caused by acute emotional stress. I'm dealing with a broken heart now. My brain and body feel worn out and depleted due to crying, lack of food and bad sleep. I've been through major surgery and accident in 2010, but heartbreak takes a far worse toll on one's body than even the most difficult surgery. I feel it now. It's harder for a person to recover when he/she had preexisting medical problems as well.

[@crowleysridgegirl]

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

[@mightyobserver12]

Wasn't a different score used in this video? The village soundtrack?

[@VelvetGal5]

"Dangerous Liaisons" is one of my favorite movies. I relate to Michelle Pfeiffer's Tourvel a lot. I feel that my ex-boyfriend has been behaving badly like John Malkovich's Valmont. But at the same time he does care for me, too. I pretty much have accepted my fate that I will die of broken heart and alone like Michelle Pfeiffer's Tourvel. I'm very much like Michelle Pfeiffer's Tourvel. I'm not interested in being with another man. That ex-boyfriend is my last relationship. I have medical issues. My health is getting worse. My spirit and life energy is waning and decreasing. And I knew some years ago, that this was going to my fate - that my ex-boyfriend was the last relationship for me on this Earth and that I will die due to BOTH heartbreak and declining health and medical issues. The way Michelle Pfeiffer dies in this movie is most likely the same way I will die. It's okay. I already had a strong feeling that this was going to happen to me. For anyone to understand what i'm going through, watch "Dangerous Liaisons' with Michelle Pfeiffer and John Malkovich. Anyways, nice video clip. I'm glad that Valmont realized in the end that he loved Tourvel and that he confessed everything - his love for her and apologizes for all the hurt and pain he caused her and then she was able to hear all of that on her deathbed before she died.

[@samsonnie]

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

[@Noblesse_Azul]

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,

@missineichen Alan Rickman played Valmont in the stage version. I don't know why they didn't choose him for the film. He's better looking and has a superior sounding voice, plus everyone I've heard of who saw the play said he was brilliant in the part. Oh well, that's Hollywood for ya.

[@nea8541]

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.

[@Weronika-ev4gp]

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

[@SilviaVillarespe]

John Malkovich was just perfection

[@joas3324]

Malkovich is much better

[@MsAppassionata]

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