My sentiments exactly. Any number of lesser actresses could’ve done just fine in such a thin, one-dimensional role. But then we have a goddess like Glenn give us an iconic performance!
I also find it funny how actor Ioan Gruffudd (Kevin Sheperd) is able to keep a straight face as he says out of seriousness, "I'm really beginning to dislike that woman."
Glenn Close should have won an Oscar just for this laugh alone! Emma Stone played a wonderful Cruella in her younger years but Glenn Close will always be Cruella Devil! I read somewhere that Meryl Streep's introduction as Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada was based off Cruella's introduction in the film
@@athomenotavailable im sure she got the hang of it after a few takes or had to do it in the auditions but i see what you mean (plus there was probably water on set)
The scene shot was longer, in a making of or a trailer you can see from the same point of view that she laughs out loud, in her bed, shaking her legs 😊 I wish they had kept it in the final cut.
I personally love this one too because it shows just how maniacal and truly insane Cruella is. Glenn Close really gave this one her all and truly brought the timeless villain to life!
All of the films gives the shivers. First two 101 and 102 original that have people playing cruella, the cartoon of cruella is shivering laugh’ I am serious about the laugh loving hearing laughing
I was in love/fear with this woman when I was 5 or 6 yo. That wicked, malignous and very stylish aura was powerfull for me. Glenn Close as Cruella meant too much for me, now as an adult.
If you see other movies of her, you will notice she has the cackle. In this movie it's just a matter of let the crazy come out. Not a lot of people go full evil crazy laugh, you should try it haha.
1:47 POV: This is coming towards you very slowly, cackling all the way. It is going to chop you up and turn you into something to wear. Imagine just how NOT fun it would be to be in that costume though
@@xtianchen7977 yea because the 2021 version is suppose to be her younger self of course both films that has completely different plots wouldn’t relate but it’s still a movie about cruella which is why the commenter said this cruella was better because it really showed how evil she is🙄
@@Annabellethedoll666 since both are different, one movie portraits the old cruella, and this the young cruella both personalities of course are not the same by age comparison(this cruella is still in her 20s while the another 40s i guess and thats a big gap) so its understandable this cruella wasnt supposed to be that evil yet, still has a long journey to go. Thats what this movie is about, the story of her young-self before becoming so disgustinly evil.
@@xtianchen7977 Of course it has to be related. It's the same character!! It's not about dalmation dogs, but that is just a different part in her life. We have to see and feel why she became like this evil. They did a poor job. It should have been a much darker movie.
We should have appreciated this back then because Glen Close (along with the rest of his movie) was the perfect combo of respect for the original and being a good Disney remake
I honestly love how she walks the line of both extremely hammy but also kind of terrifying at the same time. We laugh with her because she's so over the top, but then you realise how much of a pyschotic nutcase she would be IRL. It takes a certain camp sensibility to play a role so seriously yet ludicrous and Glenn achieved that. FULL STOP.
Keep in mind that this is what Emma Stone's Cruella will eventually evolve into. How many 20 something year olds behave like this. It's an evolution. Something will happen that will change young Cruella into this. I'm very interested to see how the writers are going to pull it off for the sequel.
@@givenchyhomme8694 Eh, NO, I don't accept this wretched 'origin' story as part of the continuum. It's political garbage. Cruella De Vil is supposed to be just evil. There's no 'but' to it, not every villain needs a damned anti-hero story. For crying out loud.
