The way that his "please"s become more and more insistent and aggressive toward the end always put me on edge. The most unsettling thing about the Chamberlain is that, despite the fact you know he's wicked and can't be trusted, he always manages to be just persuasive enough to make you doubt yourself and almost believe his lies. Very well-written villain.

And yet, everyone who interacts with him takes him at his word. It finally takes the protagonist Wirt saying to his face that the Beast is obviously a liar for him to be defeated.

I always wondered why Chamberlain's grammar was simplistic in this scene, since in the castle scenes his grammar was fine. I had assumed he was talking down to the Gelflings, or trying to seem less threatening. But now that I know the original cut of the film had the Skekses speaking their own language, and that the Skeksis language was also limited and basic in structure, it makes a whole lot more sense that Chamberlain would have difficulties when speaking in the Gelfling's language.

I have a whole list of reasons to say no to that bastard.

I always wondered to myself whether he was really being sincere or not. It's almost a sort of personality test, judging whether one is an optimist or pessimist. It's all too easy to assume the scheming chamberlain is just trying to trick them, and in the end he even does turn in Kira to the rest of them. But he only does so after they attack and wound him, so it's fair to assume the deal was totally off at that point. But for him to be trying to deceive them, he goes about it in a very convincing manner. He doesn't omit anything, and his plan seems solid. He even admits to being an outcast and having his own agenda in bringing them back. If his only goal really was to haul them to the castle and buy his station back, then why did he stop the garthrim? Naturally, he wouldn't receive credit, but he could just as easily let the creature kill them and bring back the corpses. Another angle would suggest that he would betray them simply because he's "evil", but honestly, the Skeksis are much more complex than that. It's dubious whether some of the others would bother to listen to an agreement, the Priest would almost certainly be opposed, but I can see the chamberlain in particular giving it a shot. And if things go south, he can just claim it was his plan to bring them there and kill them all along

@animefan77

This all depends on how gray or black/white your morality is. If gray, then Chamberlain is genuine in his deal, thinking that he can befriend them enough to not pursue their destiny and after they go to the castle together, he'd try to at least have them be sent to an isolated place until the Great Conjunction has ended- leading to a grateful, now immortal group of Skeksis will at least allows the Gelflings to live- plus he's back with the others so it's a win-win. And since Jen attacked Chamberlain, then he's now justified in that Gelflings in his eyes are as inherently destructive to their race as the other Skeksis believe them to be. If black/white, then Chamberlain is a deceptive jerk that lured the two Gelflings to get himself back.

I was born in the 80's and I remember one day when this movie was on TV. I didn't sit to watch it but I do remember the Gelflings' faces gave me an unsettling feeling, they looked a little creepy which was a little traumatising for me as a child and that creepy memory stayed with me through the years. Now, as an adult I still find them a little creepy-looking but less traumatising than when I was a kid.

Oh, SkekSil. So close, and yet so far away. Though I do give him props for being upfront with them about the actions of the past here.

I have loved this film since I first saw it in theaters. When you're a wee one, the Garthem were scary. The sound of their movement, their size in comparison to Gelflings and I didn't like them because they hurt the Podlings too. Even though I now know -somewhat- the movie making aspect, this film will always connect me to who I was at 10 years old. Everyone who was involved in it's creation, I thank you. Jen's riddles and Kira's singing always anchor a remembrance of innocence and purity in a world torn asunder. I haven't seen any of the Age of Resistance .....yet. ❤ this film. Will always be a part of me. 🍀

For those of you wondering I counted and he said please 12 times.

We don't want what you're selling!

Like I would ever trust that guy... "Please make peace! Give me the crystal shard first! Please! Peace!"

When you learn that please is NOT the magic word after all.

1:54 why does this bit give me chills?

Daniel López because most of the time you always hear him speak in a mostly tempting tone to convince ppl on his suggestions but moment someone tries to ignore him knowing what’s he planning he shows aggression and anger.

You know he was kinda persuasive, I would have fallen for his trick.

Got to admit Chamerlain is a skilled politician. He wants power, ability to twist things to make others see his point of view, convince others to do things they never thought of doing and is able to sound like he's the victim while ensuring everything he does is to benefit him.

This was one of the scariest scenes to me as a kid. It's still so good!

Everything about this clip screams Stranger Danger!

Lol He says please like 12 times, geez

Q of the top 10 most iconic scenes in 1 of my favorite movies of all time. 1 goes 2 the score! I read the novel. Still amazed that it was done in 82!

People don't get that Skeksis are as equally magical power as the Mystics, he was casting a spell on Jen here

The best movie & series 💙

Thank you Netflix for having this movie otherwise I would have never seen it!!

Try saying them that you are an atheist. I make that move to one who try to give me one of their damm papers and the poor bastard stay silent for a few seconds and said "Ok. Bye". It was pretty evident that he wasn't expecting that LMAO.

I had never seen The Dark Crystal movie until a few days ago. I've seen this "please make peace" scene a bunch of times on youtube over the years. I thought Lord Chamberlain was going to be a good guy. I was surprised and disappointed to find out that he ends up being one of the main villains. Having said all of that, and after watching the show now too, I've concluded that Lord Chamberlain is my favorite character in the Dark Crystal universe. mmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm :)

And there's more of him in Age of Resistance now. It's like he had a brain before but lost half of it by the time of the film.

I know the chamberlin could be a backstabbing dick but for some reason this scene always got, like I wanted SkekSil to be true to what he was saying and that he didnt want to harm them. But then in Age of Resistence he did a similiar move by saving a fellow Skeksis only to then kill him.

I love Jen's description of writing, words that stay, that's so creative!

Gotta love Chamberlin

Still a great movie today!

PLEASE!

1:30 your friend begging you to buy them one more drink when they've clearly had enough

When you ask your mom if she can buy you a kit kat bar. "Pls pls pls yes pls"

*S T A Y , A M F R I E N D*

I like when Kira says: "Don't listen to him it's a trick"

Anyone one in 2018?

Love this movie

J'adore ce film et j'ai 55 ans ! Je l'ai vu à l'âge de 15 ans et il restera un émerveillement pour moi. Le chambellan est un personnage extraordinaire, ses gémissements sont légendaires. Ici il ne gémit pas. lol

Going back to this scene, I’ve never been more terrified. Used to watch this when I was little and felt no dread.

The next time I want something I’ll remember to say “Please”

“Hey man, gimme a dollar. Hey-look at that wall!” “No! Don’t give him our dollar.”

this movie was so under-rated. Have watched it multiple times. No CGI, just lots of muppet-teers.

Remember, the Skeksis Chamberlain and Pontius Pilate have the same vocalist.

There really need to be videos that compare the workprint to the final film. If memory serves correctly, this bit saw surprisingly little change compared to other parts.

With Jen's looks, and knowing who plays him, I saw Stephen Garlick in a series back in the 70s as a kid, and he resembles Jen a lot. Or Jen resembles him. I think Stephen did a good job voicing Jen.

Stephen looks like Jen to me. I think he did a great job voicing Jen. I actually asked him a question about how he voiced Jen on Twitter recently and he told me that he had to make sure some inflections didn’t sound British. I was in shock at first cause I didn’t expect him to reply to me but now I’m happy that he did 😊🐐.

The weird way Jen and Chamberlain look at each other puts me on edge. How sour it is

Jen and Kira are so beautiful together. They will make a beautiful couple. I haven't seen the Dark Crystal in 13 years. This scared me and my friend who is now my boyfriend so bad that we screamed at the top of our lungs. This is the only part of the movie that we were not scared of. We were 5 years old when we saw this. You can buy Jen's flute on amazon.

Rennie Ash I don't know. I don't have the flute. I will guess that it's easy to play, but I don't know. I found out they were selling it on Amazon when I was going to see how much the movie cost that was when I saw the flute. I was just about to see how much it is but my dad polled me away from the computer and was staring at the flute. I'm going to get him the flute for Christmas this year along with the movie.

*Please make peace!*

Dude's lost his knack since AOR, used to be he could talk someone into confessing to murder AND consigning their people to slavery, all while sounding like he was right.

That “No!” kinda reminds me of the emperor’s taunting “no” to Seladon. Skeksis being served some karma? :)

Knowing that the Skeksis are half of one being, the other half being the Mystics, it's understandable that Chamberlain does want peace in some form. However, he is the corrupt side of his original form. Similar to Piccolo from DBZ. The Mystic has the control of sinful nature, but in return is slower and in parts weaker. The Skeksis have no control of their sinful nature and don't care then some.

Evil Starscream bird creature!

The chamberlain was dark crystal’s version of starscream, the minute he gets an opportunity to be a leader, he takes it with no hesitation. Not to mention he killed a skeksis once, and who knows how many more times.
