Ésa película me marcó pará bien y La agradezco mucho porque gracias a ella en cuanto un amór tóxico sé me acercaba Yo salía corriendo sin volver ni siquiera La vista atrás, era él o Yo
Extremely handsome m an even by today's standards. So well mannered, well spoken, and intelligent. He was extremely well dressed and groomed in this film. I cannot wrap my head around how he never found another more relatable w oman to fall for.
In this movie, he manages somewhat to result believable as an ante litteram incel, despite looking like... well, Terence Stamp. Samantha Eggar's performance is great, too.
i saw this movie when I was 12 but came in midways through so i never was able to figure out the name of the move. FINALLY after 14 years of googling I finally fond it
I doubt this sort of thing started with The Collector. Men have been snatching women up and imprisoning them for their own purposes since the dawn of time.
How on earth is he considered a hero?! The poor girl became ill and died because of his negligence. He was even more of a coward the way he secretly got rid of her dead body.
I went down a serial killer documentary rabbit hole on RU-vid and two of the most vile killers were inspired by this. Leonard Lake was fascinated with the book and having an “off the shelf sex patner/captive”. He and another man did just that, going on to rape and murder possibly dozens of people in his sickening pursuit. Then there’s Bob Berdilla who was intrigued by this film and eventually went on to commit some of the most vile crimes against young men that he held captive, tortured and raped. Truly sickening and makes you wonder how many frail minded monsters can be so inspired by a form of macabre entertainment that they eventually act it out in real life.
I went down a similar rabbit hole, but i wanted to read the book first. It does make you wonder how such a story inspired so many individuals just like that main character Fredrick. And how many Miranda's that all share the same hopeless end. I'll never see framed butterflies the same way.
If you ban books and this is "mild" John Fowles was/is a favorite author of mine- if you expect to place only "happy ending" books in the market place, that isn't reality and I don't believe in censorship for the most part. If you watch on You Tube an interview with Samantha E. the actress who plays Miranda, his captive, you'll discover, John Fowles based his novel ON A TRUE CASE...I don't believe art makes monsters- sick people will crack anyway- I am very interested in forensics and watch much true crime and I don't claim to be an authority but it seems to me- now I know you CAN argue video games and really disgusting pornography, ie snuff films, have been cited in certain criminal cases, at least the criminal might mention something or other but WAS THE BOOK OR GAME OR FILM THE REAL REASON? I doubt it- psychopaths don't require a push, they will act regardless- sorry if my response is muddled- insomnia- a Saturday night, as I was getting up, my neighbor was arriving home from a happy night on the town- I am not as young as him and have problems with depression and chronic pain, so forgive my slightly garbled answer- imagine American film without Hitchcock! No way, and after viewing, the great film, Psycho, do you want to buy a motel, wear a dress, etc- no! Namaste from Tom Waits' Diner
@@MSYNGWIE12 I have read the book, but never saw the film, but I was left with the impression that the main subject matter of the book might well be the relationship between the artist and artistic patrons or the art market.
A really well done film that lives up to the novel. Samantha Eggar and Stamp were really good. This trailer contains some scenes that are cut out of the film.
Except that the novel ends with a different ending...a happy one. By the way, some morons tried to copycat the movie and failed miserably to the point that they did not get the point of the movie.
@@keyvanattaie ??? In the John Fowles novel I read, the young woman gets sick and dies, the guy buries her in his garden, and makes plans to "collect" another young woman. You're either thinking of a different book, or the police seriously need to check your basement.
@@tomripsin730 I might have heard wrong then because I heard that in the novel she actually escapes. Then the novel and movie end in the same way. I like to think of “The Collector” as the opposite of the horrendous pornographic “50 Shades” saga. Ironically Freddie’s last name is Grey!
Do yourself a favour and watch this one in black & white. It's how William Wyler wanted to shoot the film, and it suits the story much more than technicolour.
Even if you run I will find you I decided I want you, now I know I need If you can't be bought, tougher than I thought Keep in mind, I'm with you Never left out fate, can't concentrate Even if you run
The last lines of the book (don't expect "spectacular") are brilliant. Great film (Wyler, so how could it be otherwise), very much enhanced by an excellently appropriate and beautiful Maurice Jarre score.
Even though this movie is about a girl trying to escape her kidnapper, I feel like the filmmakers were subtly warning young women of dominant men who want a wife who will always go with the flow-right or wrong-a woman that doesn’t have a mind and a tongue of her own, who won’t get in his face and tell him like it is when necessary. Hence the butterfly collection with the insects all arranged to his specifications in the glass frames.
No. It is a representation of the 1960's meeting the bygone era of the earlier half of the 20th century and the times before that. A very handsome, well spoken, well mannered, dapper, highly intelligent gentleman meets the brutish career f emales of modern day. He became obsolete in the Britain/ America of new. It's sad that his heart belonged to this w oman who is from another time, alien to him and his values.
@Emma Martinez Yes, he crossed the line. He wasted his effort refining himself to be a renaissance man only to be alienated from society because of his intellect and sophisticated tastes.
@Emma Martinez There's nothing wrong with him personality wise. He's reserved but very observant and well spoken. This is a sign of high intelligence. The problem with mainstream society is the expectation that people be extroverts and egomaniacs to assimilate to the host culture. Extroverts are pathological liars who inflate their own value and consistently fabricate their achievements and events in their lives.
@Emma Martinez I said that there is nothing wrong with his personality. I didn't say that he was mentally stable. He obviously committed a crime and really stepped out of bounds with his actions but everyone develops an attachment to someone and appreciates them in ways that they cannot do to others. It's naive and innocent in the sense that our perception of the people that we grow an attachment to are viewed only in positive light. Like Samantha's character said in the film, he was clinging to a schoolboy, juvenile fantasy about her which didn't line up with reality. It's hard to let go of someone who you feel spiritually connected to even if it's from a distance. As we grow older we learn to let go because wisdom says that there will be others or it wasn't meant to be. Loss is part of life and the stars rarely ever align. His reclusiveness stunted his maturity in his ability to interact with people especially the opposite gender. We all get lonely, even the introverted need companionship. It's in our design. She did not reciprocate those feelings for him and his fantasy became void. The film did a disservice to his character at the end by having him looking for another victim. Did he love Samantha's character or was he just a lonely, collector?
I HOPE SOMEONE REMAKES THIS FILM WITH A HAPPY ENDING, FOR MIRANDA'S SAKE. He returns to the cellar with the tablets, but the butterfly has flown. He exits cellar, hears sirens and sees police cars approaching at speed. The End.
No. Not a hero by any stretch of the imagination. His social development just became stagnant due to his reclusiveness and biological need for a companion in life. This film is a tragedy. There should be no stigma about his hobby. There would be no science or civilization if people did not have the kinds of hobbies that he does. I personally collect rare minerals and am fascinated by their atomic makeup, physical qualities, and industrial uses. Society has degraded to the point where being intelligent, well read and studied for the sake of personal mental development is considered strange or obtuse. The absence of a companion in his earlier life really damaged his ability to interact with post "career w omen" f emales. His manners, style, and intelligence do not attract these types of w omen in the 1960's to modern day.
I think this referrs to the movie langage The male main part is usually called the "hero" and there is in almost all movies also a "villain", so using here the word "hero villain" in the trailer I think the trailer just wants to give the audience a hint, that in this special movie the "hero" infact IS the villain himself, I think that´s a nice and clever marketing idea.
@@gracealexandre3381 I used the term villain as a movie term, in a "normal" movie you have a hero and a villain. In The Collector there is Stamp the villain and there has been a part played by Kenneth Moore who would have been the hero (he is in the final movie only seen from behind in the scene when Miranda meets with him in a restaurant and they are watched by Stamp. Moore part had been edited out of the movie, so there was no hero in this movie and Stamps part became both. Wyler used here a trick also used by other directors, the story is told from the point of view of the villain as if he is the hero, the audience watches what happens from hism point of view. This trick is also used in Bonnie and Clyde with Beatty and Dunaway. They are killers but the audience is manipulated in watching the movie from their point of view.
It's hard being alone for even reclusive people. People are wired to require companionship. They become sick without it. M en are especially victim to these biological needs because they tend to have weaker social networks than do w omen.
@@warrenbuffet5152 and now we have the pandemic where everyone is alone! I wonder how these criminal types are faring with few ppl around and even pretty faces masked and nobody talking?
Thanks for this W.D.L. It has taken me over 35 years to finally find this film and to prove to myself that it actually existed. I saw it but once, yet at 15 i found it a real turn on and secret wish in many a maiden's heart. It's good to know there's a bit of the The Collector in every man.
Pellicola davvero stupenda, sceneggiatura a suo modo originale che ha tenuto desta la mia attenzione, pellicola tenera e drammatica, quindi davvero stupenda e davvero stupenda per me come valutazione è 8,5.
What an actor (Terence Stamp), Since I was a teen when his movie "the collector 1965" was released 0:20, I didn't search or follow his later movies , now suddenly his name came to my mind, oh how his face has changed , but still the same piercing blue eyes
Se O Colecionador ganhasse uma refilmagem cinematográfica brasileira, eu penso sinceramente que Sérgio Guizé seria perfeito para ocupar o lugar de Terence Stamp como Freddie Clegg enquanto que Débora Nascimento seria a escolha ideal para substituir Samantha Eggar no papel de Miranda Grey. Iria ser o maior sucesso de bilheteria nos cinemas.
When I was 9yo my mom let me & my little sister watch this (& other adult themed films) bc she was watching it. It was so scary. When I had children she was critical of how I raised my daughters 😳, but I sure never let them watch anything like this when they were little.
I was watching this movie at 7. My mom wasn't winning any awards either. It shaped and molded me in some pretty strange ways to watch this movie so young.
@@LovePeaceDontHateWar My mom never met my kid. She did enough damage to me and my sisters (way beyond this movie). No way was I cutting her loose on my son!
@@LovePeaceDontHateWar Oh I hear that! In my house it was the opposite. Mom was the psycho, dad was passive. He was a good man otherwise but he let some horrible stuff go down. We all survived tho didn't we? And yes, it taught us what not to do with our kids! Much respect to you.
More sad than dark. There's more to life than being a part of social groups. It's important to advance as a person by meeting multidimensional people who have interests that aren't celebrated by broader society. I personally collect rare minerals and am a bit of a recluse myself. It's a very uncommon hobby to have but I've learned a lot about the Earth, nature, our ecosystems, and how civilizations are built with the natural resources, that we turn into tools, surrounding us. This book/ movie is very telling of how mindless modern society is today. Both high society and for everyone else.
@warrenbuffet5152 Sweetie, you sound like an intelligent man. I do agree that trying to fit in is not a recipe for happiness. But you’ve got the crux of the book all muddled 😰 You sound like you’re trying to justify a serial killer‘s deeds 😨 Fred‘s butterfly collection is NOT the issue here. In Miranda he meets indeed a multidimensional human (in the book, have not seen the movie) and HE DOES NOT CARE on iota! All he cares about is shiny hair, underwear photos and dominating her. He wants a marionette, not a companion. He is literally and metaphorically suffocating her and her will to live. If you can’t see how terrifying that is, I am worried.
while watching this i was thinking "how the hell could that handsome well-spoken guy be single...then we find out why, amazing film, very interesting and tearful ending, she knew he wasn't just a monster and knew that his death meant her death..and captives do die that way and do get captured that way, gotta love how he controls himself (we all like the psycho who keeps things in order and lives by a "code, sophisti-psycho) and sometimes totally instinctively says something evil without thinking twice about it..and he faked his harmless posh accent too, right?
this was my brainteasers this morning, her voice @ the end of the film, she said "oh, i'm so glad." when he wasn't much hurt. weird, it was when i~ woke up. and, ummm, YOU!!! this is. this became my favorite film in 1998. ~♡☆♡☆♡~
Three, actually. Leonard Lake was inspired by the book, Australian Serial Killer Christopher Wilder had the book nearly memorized and had a copy with him when he died, and Torturer Robert Berdella was inspired by the film version, and kept men prisoner
“Inspired” might be a better word. I’ve watched plenty of scary/disturbing movies without them influencing to commit criminal acts. Those people were already messed up to kidnap and murder others.
Kitabını yeni bitirdim ama filmi izlemeyi istemiyorum çünkü mirandanin haline vok üzüldüm kurtulup o caniden öc alacağını tahmin ediyordum olmadı fakat 😰
Il looking fir a movie where a woman is held captive and chained up about this era the trailer was always in here but now can’t find it any ideas thanks
Jakub Nowak oh yes, it does. Frederick/Ferdinand/Caliban is not how i imagined him to be, but he is still very good. He doesnt blush as violently as he did in the book, but whenever he gets flushed he hunches, which i believe was the greatest justice they could have done to the book. The dialoge is almost word for word, and the parts not in the book blend perfectly with those that are. both actors did a splendid job. i fear to think what would have been done had this been remade today. however, i do greatly recommend the book. there is a lot of dilly-dsllying about a certain G.P, but it does work well to exentuate her lonelyness and desperation. i couldnt recommend it more.
@@ylvakattokig5777 is there no mention of G.P. in the movie? I believe the whole G.P. digression is a huge plus to the book. And what are the scenes that are in the movie that aren't in the book, if you don't mind?
@@TheGroove no, he's a youngster that flips off everything he doesn't understand, but then, can you blame him? After the boomer kids, they didn't bother teaching kids in daycare (or in school, or at home . . .).
I remember my 12th grade English teacher forcing us to read this book and do a project on it. I was not about it! I refused to read this. I even offered to read something else. She really gave no f*cks about what this may do to someone who’s been through trauma. Needless to say she failed me for this project and then years later she died from heart failure so.. karmas a real one!
No way! My 12th grade (a male teacher in Albuquerque, NM) teacher also made my class read the book and watch the movie. I read it over Christmas break, and it freaked me out. I still can’t get through a Christmas without thinking about it. Extremely disturbing. It bothered me. It never occurred to me at the time that I could have just refused!!!!
A remake of this masterpiecs wouldn't be as powerful, feminism has ruined Hollywood - hence why the emasculated men and "empowered" women. Here there is only man and woman - and if the man didn't try to negotiate "Ok Miranda, 4 weeks then?" and had asserted himself sharper - she would have been willingly his.
What...? Are you kidding me Dude? This has nothing to do with "feminism" and " emasculated men", Terence Stamp's character is one sick fucker and needed to be put down !
@@seanobrennan2372 This book/ film is a tragedy. It's the colliding of two different worlds. A representation of a well mannered, well spoken, well dressed, very handsome, highly intelligent m an from the early 20th century meeting the brainwashed modern day career w oman. His biological need for a companion was delayed into adulthood causing him emotional and psychological distress. He reclusiveness hampered his ability to meet people and his hobby became archaic and alien to modern society. His life is a tragedy. Society failed both of these people and unfortunately their paths crossed and misfortune became of their encounter.
@@femalesupremacistoverlord6800 This is a fictional movie. Unfortunately, her high and mighty attitude is not. Don't use that "he kidnapped her, that's why she's so hostile towards him" line. Almost every young woman these days behaves like this. They are victims right out of the whom.
