Time to submit my entry for “One Musical Scene” a prompt created by @Nando v Movies in where you pick on scene from a movie and look at the music in regards to it and explain why it makes the scene so special and so I decided to go with the “Heaven’s Light/ Hellfire” sequences from Disney’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, I hope you all enjoy and if you do spank all the buttons.

I LOVE "Hellfire"
My favourite scene is around the end of the movie when quasi’ said “I am the protector of this world! I am… the Hunchback of Notre Dame!!”
I love this song (Hellfire is just amazing) but the movie's deviation from the source really shows its Disney-fication of the themes. There are no truly healthy relationships in Hugo's book, Phoebus and Frollo lust after Esmerelda without considering her actual wants/needs, Quasimodo recognizes her kindness but it is a one-sided and unreciprocated love, and then everyone dies in the end, save for the playboy Phoebus who spends the remainder of his life unhappily married.
its always so amusing to me how these songs, which are the best in a standout score, both get immediately slapped in the face by the absolute worst in the film, a guy like you
I'm a simple man, I see Hunchback content I click
While I agree that Hellfire is absolutely AWESOME, I feel the character of Frollo in total in the movie is actually not that interesting as a villain due to being somewhat one-dimensional. The version of Frollo in the broadway musical is a lot better, they improved on the character massively there.
I feel it also worth mentioning regarding the contrast between Quasimodo’s selfless love for Esmeralda versus Frollo’s selfish lust, is that it is also a key reason why Quasimodo going from being heartbroken when discovering that Esmerleda has fallen in love with Phoebus, to accepting her decision for that in the end, is so important to the story (despite several petulant outcries from the audience about how this “stigmatizes deformed people by saying that they are always doomed to lose the love interest to someone else who is more attractive”.)
Because it’s a major defining character trait of Quasimodo that not only makes him completely opposite to Frollo, but also shows a level of maturity that is rarely seen in most fictional characters in general.
Frollo’s mindset is that if he can’t have her, no one else can, and she must therefore die. But Quasimodo ultimately being capable of putting aside his own feelings and going out of his way to save her life (not just at the climax, but also when he goes with Phoebus to the Court of Miracles to warn her that Frollo’s coming) is his way of showing that he genuinely loves her and respects her, rather than just being in love with the idea of her being there to complete HIS life. Because unlike Frollo, he doesn’t get possessive of her or look for any personal reward, as he shows that he prioritizes her well-being and happiness.
Plus, he stops being jealous of Phoebus and no longer sees him as a threat to him getting the girl, but rather as someone else who sees Esmeralda as a human being and loves her enough to try to save her even at his own expense, without forcing himself upon her. Quasimodo is humble enough to recognize that Esmeralda loving Phoebus doesn’t mean that she doesn’t also love him (just in a different way from a regular lover), and that her having more than one man in her life who would fight to the end to save her, means all the more for her, not less for himself.
Judge Frollo Holy Hellfire! ❤️🖤💜🔥
I am SO happy I found your channel. I am obsessed truly.
I look forward to your channel growing and getting more subs, you definitely deserve it
It 's always striking to me how the chorus from Hellfire is the same as the main theme of the entire movie. The musical notes are exactly the same, but perverted into something darker and more sinister.
