Watch: Lolita 1997 123movies, Full Movie Online – In early adolescence, Humbert fell hopelessly and tragically in love with a girl his own age, and, as he grew into adulthood, he never lost his obsession with “nymphets,” teenagers who walk a fine line between being a girl and a woman. While looking for a place to live after securing a new teaching position, he meets Charlotte Haze (Melanie Griffith), a pretentious and annoying woman who seems desperately lonely and is obviously attracted to Humbert. Humbert pays her little mind until he meets her 13-year-old daughter Lolita (Dominique Swain), the image of the girl that Humbert once loved. Humbert moves into the Haze home as a boarder and eventually marries Charlotte in order to be closer to Lolita. When Charlotte finds out about Humbert’s attraction to her daughter, she flees the house in a rage, only to be killed in an auto accident. Without telling Lolita of her mother’s fate, Humbert takes her on a cross-country auto trip, where their relationship begins to move beyond the traditional boundaries of stepfather and step-daughter…
Plot: Urbane professor Humbert Humbert marries a New England widow to be near her nymphet daughter.

Lyne outdoing Kubrick
LOLITA by Adrian Lyne, was immediately and understandably compared to Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of the novel by Vladimir Nabokov, and although I think Kubrick made a wonderful film, what I do think director Lyne’s version does better, is the way it captures the tragedy of it all, instead of the comedy. Tragedy in the sense that it dares more than Kubrick’s film did (which I believe has nothing to do with the censorship in the 60ties), because director Lyne isn’t interested in sexually or provocatively exploiting the relationship between Humbert (a marvelous Jeremy Irons) and Lolita/Dolores (Dominique Swain), he makes it sort of enigmatic, carefully lingering and beautiful. More faithful to the novel, the film successfully achieves the great character nuance of the civilized and sophisticated Humbert Humbert, and the way he falls completely in love with such a obnoxious and difficult child, who’s at the same time such an alluring, facetious and sexual creature. Another stronghold for the film in its dignity as an adaption of the novel, is Ennio Morricone’s sweepingly romantic and classic score. It may just be a notch better than Kubrick’s film, and for me personally, as an adaptation of the novel, it also rings more true.
