the straight story - final part (contains spoiler)

[eddaje95]

what is the final song?

[scrambledeggsfilms]

@eddaje95 angelo badalamenti - montage

[NoocracyNow]

Richard Farnsworth's sharp intake of breath right before the final score opens up gets me every time.

[fraserclubbx]

The most underrated David Lynch film. Beautiful.

[scrambledeggsfilms]

one of the most beautiful endings that a movie can have

[agpoloster]

Great movie-so true. Thank you for posting this.

[forri087]

Only a few words are spoken, and yet so many things are said...

Amazing!

[stratocaster1986able]

Alvin is such a loveable character.

[Saadles]

When I first saw this, I thought Lyle wasn't there and darn near lost it. And then again when Lyle starts choking up at the realization of what Alvin did to see him.

[legendkiller2004]

Films like this don't come along very often, but when they do, they will always be remembered. I saw it for the first time only last night and it had quite an impact on me. I think the story is something we can all relate to; especially those of us who have brothers and sisters, and that's a special feeling. The fact that Alvin didn't care how long it took to get to Wisconsin to see his brother was a testament to the human spirit.

In the end, its not worth falling out with someone you love.

@legendkiller2004

I saw this film a few years ago-about three- and it strucked me to my knees with its purity and simplicity. How beautiful person is Alvin Straight. I have a brother and we got anger each other a year ago. I am about sixty and he's sixtyfour. It is a pitty that people hurt each other with such huge pain, sometimes.

It is a most realistic picyure of human life in this world- this "Staright Story". I love it so much..

[scaleop4]

I found it really hard not to cry watching this.

[mamachar1]

I love this story, the movie, the actors that with their beautiful hearts - put it so nicely together ♥ RIP Richard Farnsworth ♥ We lost you too soon...

[totillion09]

Notice how Lyle recognize the voice of Alvin after all those years, being sick and hearing it only once.

[gordonw01]

There are barely any words but this is one of the most powerful and poignant film scenes i've ever saw.

The sadness in Lyle's eyes and the intake of breathe he takes when he hears his brother's voice yell back are truly touching.

[JAMESMCCULLA]

as good as it gets. who hasn't had problems with a brother, or sister. yet at the end.... wonderful piece of work.

BUT WHERE'S THE 3D VERSION??????????? (that was a joke, by the way)

[ReekoChet]

It's POWERFUL in it's simplicity. You can feel Richard Farnsworth's emotions as he gasps for breath upon hearing his brother's voice signifying, he made it...! Very emotional moment....!

[Durhandoni]

Why everybody i know, who has seen this movie, says it is sad. i think it leaves you with some kind of peace and freedom.

[spaceodds]

David Lynch is one of the greatest directors of American Cinema. Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, Mullholland Drive to name a few. All great works of mystery and surrealism. Hell Eraserhead started out as a student film, and it became a phenomenon on the basis of Lynch's grand vision on such a small budget. Now this film goes to show how much Lynch tries to stear away from the mainstream, and in doing so he has created a very realistic, down to earth interpretation of sibling relationships. Masterful.

[SkivMarine]

I like how the camera pans upward at the end. Sort of like saying; "you did your part boys, the rest is up to God".

[tedrupi]

better than twilight i say

[tedrupi]

whats the music at the very end?

[ElevenMileRecords]

Hollywood today is such a joke. This movie has more guts than anything put out by a major studio. We miss you Richard Farnsworth! Great performance.

[philipg52]

My God, is'nt this better than all those hollywood special effects.Very little spoken and yet so powerfull.This film has whats called a story.A very moving story.Pure genius>>>>

[VinBad007]

And to think that Richard Farnsworth was actually dying of bone cancer during this movie. He was in agonizing pain during the entire shoot. Absolutely astounding.

[Ilcristian]

You can't help crying in the end :'(

Great film!

[uzapuca]

Great acting. Just the right short dialog and then enjoys the silence in between. Beautiful ending with the sky.

I did not know it was based on a true story.

[flashoftruth]

one of the finest movies ever. i saw it on a flight to japan and i have been a fan ever since.

[jpuk2006]

there are thousand of movies about junk love ...this one is about brothers .... solid /loaded love..... great work ....

[hamtrak]

Harry Dean Stanton's the Man!

[ejazasi]

and so is David Lynch!

[2345678899]

Un film capolavoro la + bella scena è quella finale quando Alvin ritrova il fratello e poi guarda il cielo stellato in quel momento la musica è qualcosa di indescrivibile e guardando quel cielo è come se ognuno di noi fosse eterno con le migliaia di storie umane di questo mondo

[TADGELL]

one of the most genuine, touching movies ever. good job farnsworth and lynch.

[phille22]

can't find the soundtrack, damnit

[4jonah]

i dont know how, but my dad has it on cd. so its out there somewhere. he emailed me all the tracks...i love this film.

[phille22]

I found it :)

[ramusling]

Try Laurens Walking ;-) Great tune.

[ramusling]

The end always makes my eyes tear. I guess anybody who has a brother must feel the same way. Great movie and excellent music. Mr. Farnsworth was absolutely fantastic. R.I.P.

[Badfan4eva]

I have the soundtracks. i'll send them to you.

I also uploaded the movie on youtube :D

Check them out please.

[mrbradj]

Can someone post the scene where Alvin is talking to his daughter while they are looking at the stars? This is a great scene, but that one is my favorite.  "Look at the stars, Rosie..."

[Feerulace]

The lead actor,Richard Farnsworth (the one driving the lawn-mower)killed himself by gunshot in 2000. He was ill. God rest his soul.

[botto12]

This movie is great.

[stipefan11]

@wes: Try "Great Scenes - The Straight Story". I think that´s the one you are looking for.

This is my favourite movie.

No Spielbergian "I spent 1000 Billion Dollars just for the dresses" bullshit, no over-dramatized "Gone with the wind" crap, no screaming beauty wanting to be saved, no trigger-happy (and badly shaved) lonesome-wolf-like "hero" - and above all, NO KITSCHY ENDING!

Just a plain, quiet, simple story about what love can do - and the most touching soundtrack I can think of.

[tiomau]

I just cry every time I listen to the music and see the beautiful sky.

[Madjetdeux]

Just Wonderfull...

[ludbianchi]

As draws music end of this film?

Someone help me? If you know, write down!

[diegojavs]

The name of the song is "Montage" by Angelo Badalamenti, listen to the others tracks, the soundtrack is amazing.

[631959]

Great Man Great Movie.This man is a role model for commitment.God Bless us one and all.

[mrbradj]

Best movie ever. I wish it had a different title though. Whenever I mention it to someone, he/she thinks "The Straight Story" is about sexual orientation.

[wes1220]

Anyone have the scene when he meets the other war veteran? That just ripped my heart out completely.

[jayklemer]

I agree i have been looking on the net just for that part...

[owg59]

this movie is proof positive that the academy awards are a joke. this film wasn't even nominated for best picture, and a completely anti-family piece of drek called "american beauty" won best picture.

yeah, right.

[bobbelibob]

Well, American Beauty deserved an Oscar - but so did this - I definitely agree with you that it's joke this film wasn't even nominated. It is on my top 1 list.

[Ilcristian]

HE DESERVED the best actor oscar, IMHO

[Atta67]

This movie is definitely one of the greatest ever created. Two superb actors in this last scene. And the end title music...! Everyone that has a heart cries seeing this.

RIP Mr Farnsworth.

[jarrisonpottah]

Always gets me.

[Charly23carlos]

america not is only USA, america is everybody all american continent... USA is only and just part of northamerica

[klemanjaro]

this is america that i love.

[Bayern11]

I saw this movie when i was like 9... After watching it, i cried and sweared i would never fight with my bro...

[Gamblior2]

this movie rocks

[ffej980]

i have two brothers...and i would do the same thing for either one of them...

[MarciaClaireMusic]

I cry every time I see that scene. I just went ahead and ordered the DVD and the soundtrack from Amazon.
