Life's fine but t'aint easy-The Yearling

[7447ttl]

The best way to recognize a lie is when it says "Full Movie".

Born in the early 50's and to watch a movie like this was a natural way of life, we were brought into the World to learn from our parents and most of all respect them. Some years after it was up to us kids to take up a job and support the family, My parents never left us without heat food or a bed to sleep in, it was our duty to try and help out in the home!

[Gigilaughs]

As a child, I cried about how the father solved the problem. Then I grew up in the country and saw what happens when people set out to domesticate wild animals. When he quotes the Bible, " When I was a child I spoke as a child," it really gets me. I can look back and see how we are ruled more by emotions as a child. I love this movie.

[zqfan27]

hah im just commenting something around the beginning. or this vid, "it's me" Greg peck, " JODY!" just how he said it...

[deliriousweare]

I love Gregory Peck- but it is a little overemphasized....so much moral... I could hardly stand the film.

[micmoable]

Life was fine-----but nowadays I don't think it's as fine as those long ago days when belief in God and family values were the way of the day-----now these computers and satellite tv and so many things are ruining America's Family values----folks would rather be watching some filth like Family Guy making fun of christians than doing the right things in life--like reading the Bible or praying for a neighbor or whatever---it's a sad thing to see the values slipping away!

Thank you Tresomme12 for posting what is, perhaps, one of the best scenes in this film ... I stumbled accross this film about 25 years ago, it was on TV, i missed the very beggining but the rest captured my attention with "a grip more fierce than old sluefoot" ... it's a fine film, powerful fine with the attention to detail that Gregory Peck bring outside the novel its based on.

Thanks again

[komodoman]

Wonderful film, a real tearjerker, love it.

[Doobie1975]

This was a really good movie, I'm hoping to get my hands on the DVD someday, I haven't seen this movie for about 7 years and I thought this was a great movie

[acb0003]

[swordsman00]

[tottatippi]

This most be one of the most

powerful movies I have ever seen, this

[angelowpg75]

My all time favorite movie !

[homeimps]

In my opinion, Claude Jarman Jr's performance in this film is one of the all-time great kid acting performances. It's such a shame that it was felt he had the "wrong" looks to be a star. This isn't his best scene in the film by a long shot. Watch the whole movie and you will be impressed. If someone can post the scene with Jody's frolic, running with all the deer, I would be sincerely grateful.

[musikview]

Hi Homeimps and I sincerely agree with you. Claude Jarman Jr. deserved that special Oscar as 1946's outstanding juvenile performer. And I also love the scene you're referring to; the music used in that sequence was from Mendelssohn's "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

[homeimps]

I ordered the CD of the score partly to get the music from that sequence, but it's not there. The orchestral music itself is apparently not usable. You are given the vocal tracks composed by Mr Stothart that overlay the Scherzo. I suggested once that there should be one or two more Oscars given each year, Best Boy/Girl/Kid performance. The consensus was that it would put too much pressure on the child actors and they would be devastated to lose. Well, maybe.

[musikview]

Hi again Homeimps. Much of the other music in "The Yearling" is by Delius, but you probably know that already. Regarding special Oscars for outstanding child performers, many were given during the 1930s up until 1960. I believe most (but not all) of them were noncompetitive and the recipient knew ahead of time that he or she would get one.

[homeimps]

Yes, most of the score is based on Delius themes. But I believe Herbert Stothart did the actual arrangements. I was pleased to see that Jamie Bell won the BAFTA award for Best Actor for Billy Elliot over Russell Crowe and other Oscar nominees. Of course he had home court advantage, but still I thought he deserved it, inasmuch as it is possible to declare a winner in an acting competition when everyone is playing different roles.

[Pimblit]

What exactly did Gregory Peck say at 0:38? I don't know what's wrong with me but I can't understand what he's saying in this sometimes.

[tresomme12]

he says " Why we nearby give you out." In others words..We almost gave up on seeing you again. I believe that being poor was often equated with being uneducated. The characters in the movie convey a lot of heart though. if you listen with your heart and not your mind, you'll get most of it...maybe...lol.

[Pimblit]

I know what you mean by poor being equated with uneducated. The ironic thing is that educated rarely means clever. Poor people generally see more than wealthier people do, and are usually more knowledgeable. I know what you mean.

[konachrisman]

Gregory's line is "we near about gave you out boy"

[musikview]

I have to agree with you, Tresomme, and Pimblit as well. Some of the most important decisions to be made in life are made with the heart rather than the intellect (as in IQ). But then wisdom (and the use of one's heart to make such decisions) is a different kind of intelligence.

[rjl2000]

He said "Well we near bout give you out"....thought he was dead or never coming back.

[etbella3]

@Pimblit "Well, we near by give you out". He speaks a dialect, part Everglades, part ??? wherever he came from. And the ET's are near -- this movie came out on December 18, 1946 and the Roswell incident occurred in July, 1947. Although they may have just been the scouts since Scout was the name of Atticus Finch's (Gregory Peck's) daughter in the movie To Kill A Mockingbird. That movie was released on December 25, 1962, 11 months before JFK was assassinated.

[amazinglyace]

I love this film. It breaks my heart.. especially Mrs Baxter distancing herself from Jody so she doesnt get hurt.

[konachrisman]

I've used this line a million times (and I always credit Greg Peck). "Life's fine, powerful fine - but it taint easy" Thanks for this clip! I'd love to see some more. Especially with Donny Gift.

[tresomme12]

I'll try...;)

[homeimps]

Count me as another who would like to see Fodderwing(?) and Jody. My CD liner notes point our that Jody and Fodderwing are practically mirror images of each other. Only one is healthy in mind and body, the other is "crookedy"
