Glenn Close Dishes On The Original Ending Of 'Fatal Attraction' & Revisiting The Story | PeopleTV
/ people - Zábava
I’m not going to be IGNORED Dan!Lol,Nobody else could have played this role like Glenn!So iconic!
I love Glenn Close! Looking at her body of work, she should have been given the Oscar and I'm sad she lost for the 7th time! So unfair!
Omg I was SO jaw dropped when they called Olivia's name! I love The Favourite but damn!!! Not giving Glenn the oscar on her 7th nod is just bullshit!
Peter o'toole and r burton both had 8 nominations
@@davehoward22 Glenn Close has now tied record for most loses.
She should have 3-FA, Dangerous Liaisions and The Wife.
It is preposterous that she hasn't been given an Oscar yet but everyone knows she's one of the truly great.
Close was absolutely brilliant in this...I was 14 when I saw that movie and I can tell you it made a profound change in my life...for years I wanted to be a psychologist... I'm 50 next month...and I am not a psychologist.
lol we are the same age, and watched it at the same time. The profound effect it had on me was that I have never ever cheated!!!!
I saw it when I was about 28 ... newly married ... I remember everything about being in the theatre watching it. It's still one of my favorites. Expertly done. Great acting. Classic.
She is a great actress!
It's a travesty she didn't receive an Oscar for this role. Glen is amazing in this and 101 Dalmatians as Cruella.
Just a random bit of trivia: Cher won the Best Actress award that year for her role in MOONSTRUCK
I Love Glenn...Any Time..Fashion..Age...This Woman STAYS BEAUTIFUL ❤️
She gave one of the most legendary performance in cinema in that movie. I can never be on his side in the movie because what he did was selfish and thoughtless for both woman. He took a chance with a woman that so happened had mental problems and he, at least, should've confessed it to his wife when he learned that. The character trying to kill off someone to solve his problem only added to his selfishness. The movie (using the alternate take) ending with him going to prison and her tossing the tape, divorcing and moving on would've been justified.
Who hurt you? Lady was psychotic.
Somebody call the police. There’s a 36 year old robbery right here!!
I would have preferred the original ending with a twist. She tries to off Douglas because if she cannot have him - no one else should. Injures him - thinking he's dead - she offs herself but Douglas survives. Douglas is left with a permanent scar of some sort - a daily reminder to himself and family of his betrayal.
She deserved that oscar! Cher shouldn't have won!
Yes, a lot of shame at the Academy. Like Chicago against The Pianist. Com'on.
She was totally robbed 😔 so sad!!
@@tomtommler7536 pianist is 1 of my favorite movies too!!
Absolutely 100%. Best female performance that didn’t win an Oscar. She should have 3 right now-Fatal Attraction, Dangerous Liaisions, and The Wife. Completely pathetic how the Oscars passed her over that many times
Only reason Cher won was star power
I admire her and a friend worked near her modest and beautiful summer home in ME - beautiful woman and powerful performer
Intelligent woman: magnificent actress
Great Interview
She should win the oscar for the role...
The ending should of been similar to the original deleted ending, after listening to the tape Beth hears something she doesn’t like and finds disturbing. You should of been left wondering if she would use the tape to help her husband and then cut to Alex kill herself. A double shock ending.
Nahhhhh
Her POV would be interesting indeed
I would love to see her reprise the role some way. Of course, in the original she died so that's a bit of a stretch but I actually cared for her character. I thought Michael Douglas' character was an asshole. Not that it excused boiling bunnies, lol... but anyways... it would be fascinating to see her play a similar character to Alex but in a way that she wants to do it, from Alex's perspective, or whatever that character might be.
We couldn't get Close (unless they pulled an Irishman), but I smell IP ripe for a prequel- the Alex Forrest origin story.
Both endings are unsatisfying... here's how I would have written it: Alex turns up at the family home when Dan is not there, and stalks Beth and Ellen through the house (who are hiding in terror). Once Dan arrives home and intervenes, he attacks Alex and they fight, causing a candle to be knocked over and a massive fire to begin. As the fight rages on, Dan gets out of Alex's clutches and looks for his wife and child. As Alex chases Dan through the now burning house, he finds Beth and Ellen and the family desperately navigate their way out of the house. As Beth begs Dan to stay, he is overtaken by rage for Alex and goes back into the house to confront her but she intentionally goes to where the fire is most ferocious, trapping herself. Whilst trapped, Alex's personality transforms from a psychotic woman to a terrified little girl and Dan's fury changes to pity. Finally, he tries to rescue Alex, but she tells him to leave her alone. As the fires flare up around her, Dan is forced to give up on the rescue and is forced to save himself. Beth, thinking Dan has died, screams in agony, only for him to emerge from the house for an emotional reunion with his family. Together, they watch it burn and the last shot would be their family photograph in the hallway wreathed in flames.
You have a great imagination!
The rabbit returns from the grave as a zombie and stabs her to death
Except Alex wouldn't tell Dan not to save her from burning flames.
wow! you have a great imagination. i agree with you on most of the parts except for the part where Alex asks Dan to leave her alone. i think it would make more sense if Dan was trying to save Alex from the fire and she found a way to trap Dan in the fire with her so that they both die but Dan finds a way to save himself leaving Alex to die in the fire and then reuniting with his wife and daughter while Alex burns to her death.
@lemmieatit lmao
Hi Jess!!!!!!
And now their making a remake told from Alex’s perspective
He talks way too much. Let her talk! Damn.
The alternate ending was better but back in the 80s it would probably have been too much for a lot of people
It wouldn't have been "too much". The ending was what people wanted for the reasons she said. There's no great mystery there
I consider the alternate ending to be the true ending of the movie. I hate that they changed it.
@@ZukoHalliwell The original ending is more narratively & karmicly satisfying but that jump scare when Alex emerges from the tub is EVERYTHING.
Its funny every time I see Glenn Close I see her as Alex Forrest! Has she ever been on the actor's studio? She never got an Oscar and she was long overdue and I was so sure she would win for 2019! She lost. I always loved Glenn Close and she does good movies and she never disappoints but Fatal Attraction made her into a huge superstar. I really hope she wins an Oscar. A lot of men have come up to her and thanked her for saving their marriages b/c of Fatal Attraction. Did you guys know that Sharon Stone auditioned for the part of Fatal Attraction???? She got Basic Instinct instead. That made her into a super star. She has the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and now I wish these two Actresses would get an Oscar! I like Sharon Stone too. When I saw Basic Instinct I didn't feel like a victim after that movie.
Great actress, I hated her in fatal attraction, but loved her character!
Movie (34 yrs later) absolute ART and ages like fine wine. Alex was the furthest thing from simply a 'crazy pain in the ass b!tch villain' w/ 0 depth who needed to 'pay and pay badly' That' thinking was very 1987/88.
The GP (& surely middle, older white men in the Academy...even female voters) simply did NOT like her character at ALL. So...even THEY felt by not 'rewarding' her would be punishment.
TODAY, the *brilliance of her verbal but esp NON verbal (and, yes, 'what' was up w/ the father etc..) THOSE things critics would zone in on (how/*why did she become this person). Esp Post Me2. In '87 Douglas was considered the 'victim' when HE did waay more of a # of her very broken mind and soul then she did (even w. the bunny boiling lol)! Her entire makeup was of an ABUSED woman (from childhood).
I heard that Fatal Attraction is now a play in London Royal Theater. Kirstin Davis played Beth and it was a play by James Dearden and only Glenn Close could play this role. She did her research and she nailed it.. and I think Alex was a victim or so than a villian she was cast aside and she was a victim.
And FULLY agree (glad Glenn does now too) esp in '87 u NEEDED that revised ending. Yes, way less artistic and REAL but it's *Hollywood and all abt $$. Was nothing like it before (only endless lame wannabes after).
She suffered severe BPD (at the min) and most, if not all the time, they end up most harmful to themselves. OG ending waay more sophisticated but less 'thriller suspenseful shock value' to the GP. In the bathroom w/ Beth she starts cutting herself. THAT was clearly at attempt to retain who/what she really intended to do to herself! Also, if they kept OG ending **Archer would've prob had a better shot at the Oscar! She SHINED in the scene listening to tape!
Oscar is looooong overdue for Glenn. Her take on Alex's past is interesting. I might have thought there were abandonment issues going on with her father - emotionally unavailable, which turned her into this clingy (and unhinged) woman. !ncest never occured to me when I watched it initially.
"We decided she had been incested by her father at a very early age long enough to damage her". I'm not a psychiatrist but I don't think Alex Forrest suffered abuse, sometimes we can't explain somebody's behavior but she was unhinged. Also it is hinted in the film that her dad died of a heart attack and she lied and said he was alive. Dan Gallagher breaks into her apartment and finds a newspaper clipping and confirms it.
I love you
The original ending is online if anyone’s interested
czcams.com/video/GY_NQK7rJrY/video.htmlsi=wrPMgYvF2_BE-Pl4
It’s far more downbeat but it’s truer to the M Butterfly themes throughout the movie. I think it wouldn’t have played as well in 1987, but probably would have been better remembered today
a guy named jess and a gal named glen
You're telling me this guy is NOT Bret Easton Ellis?
The original ending would be better received today
Robbed of an Oscar. Best female performance to not win an Oscar. And. IMHO, Close is the person who most deserves an Oscar who never got one. She only gave the best performance in the category 3 times. Somebody call the police. There’s been a 36 year old robbery right here!
Alex was mentally sick she has had a traumatic childhood. Bpd are usually quite intelligent which makes them even more dangerous. They know exactly how to be sweet honest and kind because that is anothet side to them.
Forget it, Glenn, it's "Chinatown".
The original ending is better.
The ending was perfect. Pushing feminism on women is like giving whiskey to Indians. Feminism needs to be destroyed or women end up miserable.
of course she doesn't wish they had kept the original ending !
The 2nd half of the movie is really terrible drivel that robs the character from the believability and groundedness in the first half. Coud have been so much more profound.
Trust this woke interviewer to immediately peg it to ‘mental illness’.. The true artistry and genius to that film was that Alex was, what a lot of women could become, if pushed, and used. Thats the genius. This silly interviewer missed it and immediately starts talking about mental illness. 🙄
We need to try to understand alex what kind of life has she had to turn her on such a monster she was probably.made like that not born. If only she had received professional help instead of allowing hersef to feel whole. Dan should not have used her for entertainment he is at fault too. Yes he paid the price that so many others have not. He has been punished.i bet a few men and woman out there feel relieved after watching fatal attraction because they dodged a bullet
Like alex
It's a man baby yeahhhh!
Did Michael's character tell Alex that he was married before or after he banged her if it was after I am team Alex?
Watch the movie, before.
