This shows the difference between black and white cultures in the 1960's....blacks were mostly dying in riots for "civil" rights....most Whites were dying in a senseless war.
You should have heard the collective gasp from the entire theater audience at 2:18. I've never been to a movie before or since that got that kind of a emotional reaction from everyone watching. Very sad and powerful.
One of the most beautiful and powerful sequences on film. The woman who made this incredible film is a creative genius. Such a clever person. This version of 'Let It Be' with that beautiful singer and the choir just kills me every time.
This is THE most powerful amazing "gospel song" ever! Just the way the director portrayed the song and the meaning!! It may not have been what Paul McCartney was saying or maybe it totaly was, either way this should be played everywhere all over the world 24/7, maybe people would start to realize how egotistical many people are and that racisim and war and everything else that that totaly rediculous dosen't have to be...period!
lagrimas en las mejillas y la piel de gallina... esto es lo unico qe causan las guerras, dolor,muerte,sufrimiento,destruccion, nose que idiota puede creer qe esta sea la unica forma de resolver las cosas... como es el hombre eh? no aprendemos mas
@spirtkid128 The scene with the kid isn't a war, it's the Detroit riots. The boyfriend is dead because of Vietnam, which this movie takes place during.
this is just... spectacular. absolutely beautiful. the original is great, but this one has so much emotion and power even without the visual. phenominal.
Terrific scene, though I can't say the same for the movie as a whole. I just wish it didn't take such literal interpretations of the Beatles' lyrics, and instead focused a bit more attention on developing the characters so that we could actually care more for what happens to them. I love this scene but the movie itself was just a big disappointment to me.
is it just me, or does this seem sped up some? from other versions on youtube i mean.... like the key seems different but i think the audio is just sped up a bit
@SparksYukiSparks - I remember watching the movie for the first time & when they showed him in the coffin, I cried. Didn't see that one coming. Thought it would be the girl's boyfriend.
@dilophtoraptor It's interesting that you say white people are portrayed as evil and Blacks as hope. Especially since Julie Taymor the screenwriter and director is white. So who exactly are you suggesting needs to get over it? Also with the exception of the race riot(which happened during those times making it relevant to the movie's plot) all the problems were written in a way that's universal across all races.
when i watched this movie for the first time i wasn't expecting this and i cried my eyes out which very rarely ever happens to me! they way they have composed this piece to keep the integrity of the original song and yet give it so much meaning is just beautiful
@dilophtoraptor There not really for me at least portraying white people as evil i feel more like there just describing the equal suffering of both and the pain that unites both of us
I usually don't cry during movies... I will proudly admit that I was in tears halfway through the song. It, combined with the imagery, is just so moving... Thanks for posting this.
this was the saddest scene of the whole movie. i symbolized the deaths of the ppl in the USA of riots and how little kids shouldnt have to die. it symbolizes the death of all the american soldiers in vietnam who were fighting a war that may or may not have been there. think about it. should this happen?
kids intro is my favorite part :) acappella just sounds so powerful and more appropriate for this video, i guess it goes better with the story line of the movie leading to the song.
i cant help but say i think the people who sing their songs in their movie do a better job then them. esp this women, her voice is so beautiful and i cant explain how utterly amazing it is.
@ff2paladin It was to the soldier's mom, not the girlfriend, the girlfriend just happened to be there and saw what was happening. Did you even watch the movie? It's not even supposed to be about their ranking, just appreciate the scene. It's a beautiful scene, appreciate it for what it is.
This part always makes me get so sad!! i am 14 so i wasnt born in the 60s. were these riots really this violent? because if it was, then i am for real disappointed and shocked!
@SimpleFaith The most moving part of the "Let it be" scene was the whole audience gasping that it was the little boy who was in the casket....I'll never forget it.
this scene still makes me cry... so heartbreaking
