On The Beach Part 19

[Mychandyl]

Any chance of uploading part 20 please? :)

[coventrygardens]

@Mychandyl it is uploaded. maybe you just didn't see it. if you can't find it next to the side of this video, maybe try the video-poster's youtube channel.

[Professor6871]

I think I'm not sure but its the first time Peter fully brakes down in the entire film. Up to then he's been one of strongest of the main characters in the film.

[Professor6871]

The soundtrack is out of zinc again.

[Professor6871]

What was this blue pill they took cynide or something else? Even in the novel it doesn't say what it was they'd taken

[teddythebenny]

well, it would be our generation.. who will decide, the fate of mankind, this century.. and it may end, or it may go beyond.

[GalaxyHorse]

At least they do not have the gangs of blokes staggering around singing Waltzing-ma-bloody-tillda like they did in the 1959 film of the same story-the reality would be of course that the self-titled "Elite" of military, wealth, politics would be stashed away in deep underground bases for 5 years or so-only to emerge to carry on the same game, just imagine that world.ugghh

[Professor6871]

@GalaxyHorse They would also have only themselves to govern when they came out after 5 years. Not the inconvenance of having to rule the chavs.

[rowanmonkey]

the ginger woman gets on my nerves a bit

[HerrEllsworth]

If we blow ourselves up, then ALL the lives, ALL the accomplishments, triumphs and failures and lessons learned have been for NOTHING!!

[skshootings]

;(

[InkyNibIllustrations]

whats the point of turning of the mains? Not like you need to worry about getting cut off cause of an unpaid bill ffs

[Professor6871]

@InkyNibIllustrations You'd also assure yourself of a cramation if you didn't turn the gas off. I mean why be worm food?

[ddd1953]

Great soundtrack!

[bigcat178]

Got to be the saddest part of the movie. For me it would be my XJ-S off Beachey Head with a bottle of single malt and Frank belting out "My Way" Now thats a way to go.Peddle to the metal!!!

[anisete46]

@bigcat178 Pedal

[shimmisking]

You can hear the little thing breathing while they say goodbye. It's crushing.

[TomDeTomTom]

Gawd those shoes on her are AWFUL!!!

[anisete46]

@TomDeTomTom absolutely ! when I go out, will be wearing red stilettos ! not Birkenstocks

[musicalglenn]

the most sureal bit of this is ironically the time lapse...not the ,message..AussieRoo...for fucks sake...clean it up mate!

[blueeyes6533]

@musicalglenn If you don't like it, why don't you buy it and upload it yourself, complainer?

[saintrobbie375]

1 Person didn't have the blue pill

[irish89055]

the original movie end was disturbing enough.. this version even more so.. No scene/movie in cinematic history is more troubling....

[Professor6871]

@irish89055 I agree there. Its a warning to all of us.

[anisete46]

wish I could understand all they're saying at the end....

[anisete46]

How so hard for a father..... and mother...

[keydet72]

The original movie was so much better. Gregory Peck was perfect.

[Steve10578]

4:00 - I don't think a car would blow up for crashing into a billboard. I have seen loads of movies and tv shows where cars have jumped or crashed through things like billboards and not explode. Maybe they should have had him crash into something more solid.

[geoffck6969]

@Steve10578 Was symbolic.

[dawidjoseph05]

@Steve10578 the scene with car is mega kitsch

[RipVanCamper]

The Cold war is over yet the US and Russia still have a nuclear arsenal in place ready to launch doomsday. There are people in this world that would destroy millions of us just to make a profit. They are the same industrialists who took an unknown lunatic from a small German beerhall full of drunks and turned him into Adolf Hitler. Eisenhower warned us to be vigilant against the military industrial complex. Since JFK they have controlled US presidents. They think we dont know. Some of us do.

[2242bzo]

I know a lot of vindictive gals who would gladly assist their ex's in their deaths.

[walleyrt69]

Nothing be so bad as a womans scorn.

[senhuan]

What fuel is he talking about? They have a nuclear reactor for propulsion. That baby doesn't run on gasoline lol

[555banzai]

if this was me i wouldent like to die with my family because i wouldent want to see them in soo much greif and sickness i am not sure how i would handle it

[anisete46]

I think you'd want to be with them, nevertheless..

[ancalites]

Jules had the right idea. If I was to go out, it'd be bombing around a racetrack balls to the wall at 300 km/h, not dying on my bed with some sissy pill.

[anisete46]

Pedal to the metal.....

[RodneyAHampton]

Truly Jules had the best death of any of the ones offered. Unfortunately, a family man has to stay with his family.

[anisete46]

@ancalites he only did it that way because Moira left him to die alone...

[ChristophDollis]

@ancalites

Hear, hear!

[eric777100763]

@ancalites Alright JULES!!

[johntchai79]

@ancalites

Bull shit mate

[anisete46]

wish Aussie Roo could redo the sync???

[anisete46]

I bought the DVD but without subtitles in English I missed some of the dialogue at the end..

[anisete46]

For dying, I would have worn a tight red dress, stiletto heels, not those awful mules and capri pants.. superficial but essential

[anisete46]

how could a father find the courage to kill his own child..

[MSparks909]

What would you expect if his child has radiation poisoning? Would you want them to suffer to the point where the kid wishes he/she was dead? Radiation poisoning is worse than death. And don't bother trying to object, because even if he/she doesn't get euthanized, the child's gonna die from radiation poisoning anyway. They were doomed when the nuclear war occurred. What would you prefer, euthanizing a child, or letting him/her die a very painful death?

[anisete46]

You misunderstood me msPARKS... I would certainly have done the same for my own children rather than see them suffer, but to find the courage to do so is amazing, even if necessary in the face of certain painful death...we could only hope to be able to do it. I was just justifying his bravery, I dont think Mary could have done it;;;

[MSparks909]

I hear you, man. Seeing a father kill his own daughter to keep her from suffering is unthinkable. But he had to pull himself together and accept that they were gonna die. He would kill her when he was ready to finish the job. But yeah, that is pretty unthinkable, even if they were gonna die anyway. I feel sorry for the family, pretty sad, dude. :(

[anisete46]

Very sad.. I'm a mother and not sure if I would have the courage, hopefully my husband would...

[NZSindi]

WHORE!!!

[anisete46]

Watch your language mate

[cro499]

Yuk......Why the hell did he inject the needle into the little girl,s eye ?.......Hasn,t the poor little mite suffered enough ?

[Iznibz]

He didn't. The needle only passes in front of her eyes

[anisete46]

I can't understand the dialogue between Peter and Mary from "No, that would be too cruel"...

[mutulatu23]

I guess he says, "How, the Devil, you can be so cruel?" OK, my conversation English is not as good as reading and writing. Does somebody have subtitles for this movie?

[skyraptor]

rofl..english subtitles for english movie? :D

[anisete46]

I'm a native english speaker but still have trouble understanding some of the dialogue.

[turner681]

It would have been better if the sound track had been on this clip, had been synchronized with the picture.

[anisete46]

I would have finished the bottle first

[anisete46]

The "Requiem" of this film I have included in the music for my funeral arrangements, as well as "Into My Arms" from a previous chapter

[cro499]

there,s nice dear.

[keyanage]

in the original he organises a car race that kills them all

[anisete46]

Yeah, but his helmet really sucked..

[anisete46]

What could possibly be in those pills???

[keyanage]

crack

[MannenQ]

Something that makes you fall asleep, but never wakes up again, it's like to sleep on the night but never wakes up.

[thegirl44]

@anisete46

Likely phenobarbitol, in small doses it's a dreat sleep aid, in large doses it stops he heart. Much quicker and cleaner than cyanide which causes convulsions, vomiting, frothing at the mouth, nose bleeds and doesn't always work.

The remaining governing body probably issued it when they knew that the radiation was coming.

[anisete46]

@thegirl44 thank you, that sounds right... if it ever happens, will make sure I have some, luckily I no longer have young children so would not have to make a horrible decision....ru a nurse or doctor ?

[thegirl44]

@anisete46

I'm a biologist, but I served in the army to be one, that's where I learned about the physiological properties of different drugs in regards to ceasing life.

I had read you comment about hoping that your husband would be strong enough to do the dirty work, I've read all of your great comments, actually, and it's interesting to not that in dire situations history shows that it's usually the mother who takes the initiative in both saving and ceasing life.

[anisete46]

@thegirl44 women are stronger in general...I would have liked to be a biologist, more specifically a geneticist, but my maths were a disaster :(( both my parents were Army medical service...nursing and admin WWII and beyond...Valley Forge, Ft. Sam, European Theatre...grew up during Cuban Missile crisis, thus my obsession with nuclear holocaust films...

[thegirl44]

@anisete46

My maths in highschool were reprehensible, as well. I had three different tutors AT ONE TIME in university to help me with the mathematics for my qualifications.

I don't know where my obsession with last man standing, zombie, nuclear holocaust films comes from? I grew up outside of San Bernardino, CA so we had munitions plants all around us, but I don't remember being that aware of them. I guess that I just like preparing for the inevidable, we've gotta go sometime, right?

[anisete46]

@thegirl44 During the summer I read at least 5 post apocalypse novels, I have the same obsession. In my fantasies, I'm always trying to figure out how I would survive a global cataclysm (where to get arms, crop seeds, what talents I could provide ?) Weird. Perhaps as you say it is a way of accepting and facing the personal inevitable, which I believe is the message of this film.

[thegirl44]

@anisete46 I remember reading somewhere that the clans that thrived after the Black Plague were those who managed to remain mobile. They avoided the wars and slaughter that happened directly afterward by simply walking around the dumb fucks that were fighting.

Have you read either of Max Brooks books, World War Z or the Zombie Survival Guide? Remove the word Zombie, apply your apocalyptic catalyst of choice and you have pretty good manuals, up there with Angier's "How to Survive in the Woods".

[anisete46]

@thegirl44 nice to hear from you again ! I've read a lot about the Plague, one of my 'hobbies" LOL I don't believe from these books that there were organised bands roaming about, what did happen was that serfs tied to the land were free to seek higher wages elsewhere, this led to population displacement and rise of middle class.. Dont know Brooks, but am interested in cataclysm survival, unfortunately here in France difficult to find defensive armsbut have a country house with veggies....

[anisete46]

@thegirl44 If it interests you, I recommend The Black Death by PHilip Ziegler, or A Distant Mirror by Barbara Tuchman. both excellent. One of those novels, the best, I read this summer, is The Earth Abides...written in the 50s but still relevant, like Neville Shute's On THe Beach

[thegirl44]

@anisete46

Thank you. I'm always looking for book reccomendations, especially this time of year when I'm in the middle of nowhere Alaska where there is nothing but bum and fuck.

An interesting read is a book by Michael Bliss called Plague about the small pox epidemic at the turn of the 20th century in Montreal. It delves deeply into how likely the imput of organized religions would contribute to our eventual demise from a killer bactria or virus.

Good to talk to you again!

[anisete46]

@thegirl44 P.S. Have added you

[Professor6871]

@thegirl44 That's morbid a bit. But mind you there, the entire novel was in that frame of mind.

[Barrykrocker]

Brilliant.

[pg200]

Powerfull stuff???? Rubbish, it makes a mockery of one of the finest pieces of literature to ever come out of Australia.

[williamkendrick]

OH SHUT UP.

like someone pushed the button and YOURE the left one.

you can enjoy a movie without dissing it.

oh,

go back to the fifties. we dont need you.

[pg200]

And you're point is?

[anisete46]

the book was great, like ALice Springs, but I like this version

[000Goldie000]

powerfull stuff!!

[mysterymac38]

Now I remember why I stopped watching this

[anisete46]

Re sync please ????

[XBoyZontherun]

yeah thats so annoying... :(

[anisete46]

Love this, it always makes me cry.. but even if the world is ending, does she have to wear such ugly shoes? I would have worn red stilettos to die in...

[ezraakave]

Yea, those mules are really ugly.

[anisete46]

Plus the bad nail polish...

[Mushroomwig]

that made me cry alot =[

[Johindes]

and me. Full on sob mode.

[Barrykrocker]

Would you be able to re-upload this part? the sync is completely shot.

[williamkendrick]

[anisete46]

@Barrykrocker it s fine on the dvd
