Man From Snowy River Part 1

[califinn]

I love this film. My stepfather is in love with Australia, and he doesn't get the chance to travel abroad very much anymore after his transplant. Would love to take him out into this country and see some of the sites and landscapes.

Does anyone remember when George read the riot over a piece of fluff caught in the film gate? I think it was blown out of proportion. I was too busy looking at TAA'S vapor trail in the fresh Alpine sky...those were the days...

[GrenadeCatcher]

A beautiful movie so sadly underrated.

[o0SallyM0o]

Thrilled to find this. A movie I watched a hundred times in my youth! Thank you thank you.

[AlexDhuna]

Great upload haven't seen this for ages.

[cadaei123]

I'm finding a film with a strong, solid Australian theme for a school assignment. Does this film inlcude typically Australian traits like 'mateship' or symbols like the vast landscape or even some Australian stereotypes??? Thanks!! :)

[HunterToJumper]

@cadaei123 Just get to the part where "ahh... he was a good mate.." becomes a quote. =P And its got gorgeous landscapes. Also includes the brumbies, big aussie thing there. I think it'd be perfect for you're assignment. Good luck =) and enjoy the film.

[NightmareTroubador]

@HunterToJumper Thank you thank you thank you so much for posting this. Is there anyway you could do the second one as well? I would practically worship you for posting both of these movies up.

[AustralianWolf11]

does any one knows whats the differences between brumbies and mustangs? if so can you tell me?

[NightmareTroubador]

@AustralianWolf11 They are both feral horses. The difference is Mustangs are located in North America, and are mostly descended from the horse brought by the Spanish to the Americas. Hence the name. Brumbies are descend from horses brought to Australia by the British mostly, and any others who made it to the continent Island.

Each group adapted to their new environment. So they have similar origins but are still distinct breeds.

p.s. Sorry if this is long, I'm obsessed with horses.

[AustralianWolf11]

@NightmareTroubador nah, thats fine and thank you! i've been trying to figure it out for a while. i'm also obsessed with horses as well :)

[StreakedFreaks101]

why do most movies (At the sad part)(in real life movies) a baby cries...i find it weird...

[elfcanread]

I loved this movie when I was a kid, :) thanks a million for posting- I had all but forgot about it!

[saloliguita]

esta pelicula me veia de pequeño y es la mejor desearia que la suban en espàñol

[HunterToJumper]

@saloliguita Yo no hablo español (Google Traductor). Y lo siento, esto fue mi única carga, no puedo soportar más películas ...

[cyobicyobitto]

Thanks you. I really enjoyed this... I want to watch "return to snowy river" too... Does anybody has it?

[HaematoxylinEosin]

excuse me?! What`s the problem? Why can`t he stay & why is it not his land after his father died? Who are those man anyways.....?

[HunterToJumper]

@HaematoxylinEosin

It is his land after his father dies, but he's still a boy. Those guys who kick him off are fellow mountain men. They don't want to have to watch out for him up there, they don't think he can take care of himself. So they tell him to go down out of the mountains to become a man and "earn the right" to live there.

[HaematoxylinEosin]

@HunterToJumper okay, that makes sense, thank you!

[elenore88]

@HunterToJumper the snowy mts were pretty rough country back then - it may not look like much in the movie (and most of this was filmed in NZ anyway) but the mts claimed quite a few lives in the winters (and the australian bush isn't an easy place to survive at the best of times anyway.) America got the bread basket and 'amber waves of grain' while we got the 'sunburnt country - with droughts and flooding rains'.

lol

[elenore88]

@elenore88 (and lucky for them they did)

but it made us tough : )

(if I do say so, myself)

[pinz2022]

@elenore88

If you think we Yanks had it easy you should have a gander at the Laura Ingalls Wilder "children's" books. They spent their whole lives at the mercy of ruthless nature: drought, flood, locusts, malaria, savage, frigid winters (perhaps you've heard of cold), oh yes, and the ever-present Indian threat, which was very real once upon a time, and always seems to lurk at the edge of the horizon.

[HunterToJumper]

@pinz2022 Dont argue kids. =P Everywhere was tough to settle, just different.

[bpolacek89]

@pinz2022 No offense to you, but Indians weren't really a threat at the time of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Sure they were around, but this was after small pox decimated them and the buffalo were dwindling. Even when they had larger populations, few Indians attacked wagon trains. You are right about nature being a tough obstacle.

[MikeTomCrow1987]

This movie is so fantastic! Thanks so very much for uploading it...it has one of the absolute best soundtracks...aside from Last of the Mohicans. I know it takes time to upload stuff like this, so my hat's off to you friend! God Bless

[HunterToJumper]

@MikeTomCrow1987 No problem whatsoever, I was annoyed that noone else had posted it, and therefore lots of people couldn't really see it. I'm very glad you enjoyed.

[pstm1188]

@HunterToJumper Just curious, do you also own the second one. I think that one is also very good, even though they change the character of the father, which I can understand would annoy some people.

[HMJ0997]

I was recently in Australia up by the Snowy Mountians in Carins

[HunterToJumper]

@HMJ0997 LUCKY!! I've always wanted to go.... How was it?

[HMJ0997]

@HunterToJumper It was really amazing up there, just beware they need cooking lessons :p the scenery is really pretty, if you ever go to Australia go to Carins, Brisbane, Fraiser Island, The Gold Coast, Scotts Head, and Sydney. They are all really cool

[fatkinson1954]

@HMJ0997 I was visiting near that area in 1991.

[HMJ0997]

@fatkinson1954 I bet it was alot different then

[fatkinson1954]

@HMJ0997 It was absolutely beautiful.

[HMJ0997]

@fatkinson1954 It was still pretty beautiful now :)

[rollingstone1088]

I watched this over and over and over, makes me cry every time, because I love horses and a man that rides them, He is not a boy.

[HunterToJumper]

@rollingstone1088 Thanks. I'm glad you like it =)

[Lopsided42day]

Yay!! This is an awesome movie - great music and story. Thank you for uploading :)

[HunterToJumper]

@Lopsided42day Thank you, and no problem, I was annoyed that noone has before.
