    Watching this shit right now. it's so lifeless compared to Kubrick's one. It honestly feels like im watching a lifetime movie.
    it lacks the satirical humor of kubrick's. I'm only 12 minutes in and i already want to turn it off.

      Watching the Kubrick version everyone in here loves. 45 minutes in,
      The acting is fricking trash ....
      I'm not trolling or shit posting.
      The mom is fricking awful. The guy is half asleep. The girl barely acts.
      Holy shit is the acting on this fricking bad.....
      At least the 90s version had better acting.

          kubrick:
          the mom acting: shit, loud, very very cringe. yells for everything. one note.
          humbert, sleepwalking through the role. zero charisma. barely awake
          e-girlta: same shit, barely emotes. acts annoyed and not spoiled.

          sorry no. the actors in the 90s version are more three dimensional. emote better. e-girlta and humbert are WAY WAY better

          kubricks movie is fricking dull

            the brilliance of kubricks is that it takes itself less seriously and is more of a comedy.
            and the acting is the typical old Hollywood acting you'd see in it's era.

            Kubrick:
            a comedy, full of double entendre and innuendo, sharp writing, brilliant cinematography.
            does not try to make you empathize with humbert, just laughs at the absurdity of it.
            lyne:
            a drama, which tries to make you empathize with a pedo

                The book is about many things. America and how it compares to Europe, solipsism, mass media, lust, etc. I would say the main thing about it is Humbert’s ego and how the whole book is just an insane testimony by a guy who sees himself as a genius for being attracted to things that are really mundane

    You can't do it with a 16 year old Dolores, she has to be 12. So it can't realistically be done. Kubrick focused more on Charlotte, which was the only option really.

      She doesn't have to be 12. honestly 14 is fine like in Kubricks.
      Sue Lyon is also more alluring than dominique swan. Makes it easier to sympathize with humbert.
      Lynes version has a girl who looks like she's 17 dressed like she's 9 years old. It looks moronic

        nymphettes already start to lose their charm by then according to Humbert, it's really not the same. but I liked the focus on charlotte, she's a tragic character really.

      Honestly would it really be so taboo to authentically adapt e-girlta? Humbert doesn't even do much sexually in the book if I call recall. Half the time he just talks about how much he likes her feet.

    e-girlta was Nabokov's magnificent tribute to literature. And the story only thrives reading it as a novel and you pretend you're reading the account of an imprisoned lunatic who is writing this grand novel trying to justify is morally abhorrent abduction and grooming of a young child and well you should read the fricking novel if you haven't already.

    Neither Kubrick's film or the shitty 90s movie captures how Humbert Humbert is an elaborate parody of an Edgar Allen Poe narrator. How Humbert's flowery poetry on his e-girlta is juxtaposed with the fact that he's a child molester talking lovingly of a smelly 12 year old brat. Or how Quilty is a doppelganger or Humbert, Peter Sellers was a once in a lifetime performer but his performance just didn't work in the movie. SPOILER below read the fricking book jesus christ it's easy as hell to pirate you have no excuse.

    Reading the preface again after finishing the novel and realizing that Delores died in childbook felt like a punch in the gut. The most genius set up I've ever experienced in any work.

      reading it now humbert seems absurdly horny. like he's getting off to just the scent of her unwashed hair. I'm not that smart tho and the prose is above my vocabulary.

      • 2 years ago

        That's the other important detail. The fact is you look at Sue Lyon (who is aged up to 16 in Kubrick's version) or Dominque Swain in this movie and the viewer really can't condemn Humbert Humbert as a monster for wanting to tap some teenaged poontang. It's morally wrong but it's not utterly vile.

        In the novel e-girlta is a literal child, if I remember correctly Humbert bribes her with Coca-Cola and cheap supermarket sunglasses. He's a total piece of shit. I think the funniest and most disturbing idealization Humbert has in the middle of the book is when he contemplates marrying and impregnating e-girlta. He then tells the reader that his plan will be to then move on from fricking e-girlta who would then be out of his sexual desirability and then begin molesting his theoretical daughter. Utterly hilarious how Nabokov writes it but it's the shit that Josef Fritzl did.

        Anyway I would urge you to keep reading and keep your phone at hand to define/translate the words that Nobokov uses. It's what I did and 3 chapters in I really couldn't put the book down, as you should tell I'm not well read either but you will get acclimated with it. The wordplay and literary uses are just amazing in e-girlta. Also feel free to look up the annotations that SparkNotes has for free, they'll point out amazing details you might miss.

          the films don't make it as clear as the book does that Humbert is a monster. The films have lots of young & dumb female fans who think it's a story about forbidden love or something, and that being into older men makes them sophisticated.

      Both of the films take themselves too seriously, I agree. I mean the whole structure of e-girlta is that Humbert is a deranged megalomaniac who sets out to describe his infatuations with Dolores as if he's creating an artistic masterwork. The movies are too humorless. Nabokov always puts meta references in his works like how Dolores is partly inspired by Shirley Temple or all the academic parodies in Pale Fire
