Speech from "Brian's Song"

[DrHaZyM]

4 some reason i don't find this sad it was ... cold and boring

[DrJ739158]

@DrHaZyM You know what else is cold and boring? your heart...

[DrHaZyM]

@DrJ739158 haha maybe ur right, i was hoping for some one to enplane y this was so sad though, but thnx anyway

[BrianSacco29]

That is "A Heart of a Giant" try using subtitles when watching the movie.

[phillyphan221]

Brian Piccolo has a Hearty Vagina?

[corsi71inc]

"Please ask God to love him."

And God said, "No."

[Yankeesfanforlife5]

This just sad movie. Its never easy to say good buy to someone dying Friend Family Member.

[flamebot4475]

lol gay shit

[irish89055]

@flamebot4475 scum..

[Nathan920]

I think I can justify why people disliked this video, it isn't because they didn't like the video, the reason is that this scene makes them so sad that they don't like it. I didn't like it when Brian Piccolo died, and I doubt anyone else does either.

[xxanf29xx]

The movie Brian's Song is the guy verison of the notebook. If your a guy who doesn't tear up at the end either has no heart or has no soul.

[TimSchohdesmoines]

@xxanf29xx

265-2 (I think we can ignore the 2)

[xxanf29xx]

@TimSchohdesmoines

Wait wat?

[KassidyGHill]

This is such an emotional scene. But I can't watch it now without laughing a little because of that According to Jim episode. Where Jim's son is asking him about the one movie he cries at, and Jim and Andy start quoting this scene. Funny stuff.

[DrakeGrad]

having lived through this albeit young at the time I remember the movie and I remember Brian Piccolo..and of course Gale.. God rest Brian..God Love Gale..

[jbadaluco]

i saw this movie with my wife, girlfriend at the time we were teenagers in highschool. i played football and man did i ever cry watching this movie. just pure emotion. to this day i can barely even think about the movie without getting choked up. read the book, i am third by gale sayers

[Juliaflo]

A movie on Freddie Steinmark would complete the Trifecta.

[Egarka1]

I LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUV BRIAN PICCOLO

[lawlers3]

cmon whats not to like!

[plymouthbelvedere]

DAMIT Y U DO TH IS TO ME

[ifucould4me]

Being in the Corp and as a football player, you know how great is a friendship for life. I applaud you for being human remembering the fallen ones.

[diamonddhk222]

this movie created the athelete in me- and to all atheletes dont even say brians song doesnt bring a tear! for real we all hit our knees back in the 70's and still do!

[tmaley163]

who would dislike?

[jfsgro]

@tmaley163 WHO ARE THE 2 ASSHOLES WHO DON'T LIKE THIS SCENE

[zzbmg2001]

I agree with IlliniwekLivesOn. This scene (and movie) just makes me cry...Incredible acting and the Harry Belafonte Theme song doesn't hurt either. Excellent flick!

[youngmindedman]

@texdale64 I saw this movie at least 4 times; each time I cried more. haven't seen it in several years, but just listening to Billy D. Williams makes my eyes begin to water up.

[Spiderfan85]

I'm not crying I just got dirt in both my eyes at the same time.

[littlefishman18]

The Ultimate guy-cry movie... brings a tear everytime

[invadr1]

@littlefishman18 faggot

[DonOfPC]

only the 4th movie to make me cry. This, field of dreams, miracle, and gran torino all made me sob.

[bertmustin]

192 People have something in their eye.

[TheHalfBloodAsian]

A well put together movie. Awesome!

[mahboub28277]

Great movie!

[Offsides09]

Such a great movie. Outstanding acting all around.

[bukowskibabe]

The two people who dislike this have no souls.

[singapore7773]

@bukowskibabe AMEN

[hcvideoproductions]

anywhere where i can find the real speech? or was it not filmed

[edwdixon5]

How can any racist watch this movie and this scene and just go back to being a ridiculous, hillbiilly, moronic cracker? I mean dumb must really be to to the bone.

[SCE2AUX]

@edwdixon5 Especially when you consider the scene where Brian is trying to help Gayle's rehabilitation from an injury.

[singapore7773]

@edwdixon5 AS if only whites can be racist, how sad u must b

[edwdixon5]

@singapore7773 Is that what I said? I'm only sad about poor literacy rate. If it makes you feel better though, let's even it up. The scourge of black racism against whites in the U.S. is part of the original sin of the country, a glaring hypocrisy that undermined the country's founding principles and led to a war that almost dissolved America itself. Then Jim Crow laws, generational bigotry and even biblical injunctions were used to subvert hard-won freedoms, but white equality won out. Happy?

[singapore7773]

@edwdixon5 happy happy joy joy. to me as a white catholic. racism sucks no matter who is doing it. period. i read recently on the DRUDGEREPORT, that a white guy got fired from his job for using the N word at a meeting. At the same meeting black co-workers routinely use the N word? He is suing. i hope he wins. peace

[kburnout]

still gets me

[mulder1021]

I didnt know Lando Calrissian played Professional football...where was this shot at? Alderan? Hoth? The Degaba system?

[edwdixon5]

Cried when I watched it when I was nine. Still cry three decades later. Two good men who loved each other and helped teach the world how to do the same.

[hilerc]

turtle and drama are watching this when vince and mandy break up

[Juliaflo]

That 2001 'remake' (if you want to call it that) is, as my late father would put it, 'ge-STINK-en'.

[edwdixon5]

"Please ask God to love him." I don't know if Gale Sayers actually said these words, but they are some of the most beautiful and honest ones ever spoken. And I'm an atheist. I saw this movie on TV when I was a kid. It should be shown to every racist (of every color) in the world. Two good, decent men who did a lot more than carry a football.

[dunndebbiedo]

@edwdixon5 Yes, Gale Sayers said those exact words, I was hoping to find the original on line somewhere but no luck yet

[rollomf1]

Excellent movie that will never be able to be remade as good. Your heart is made out of stone if you don't feel emotional at all watching this. I am not sure which scene is more emotional. At the point he talks about Brian or in the locker room when he tells the team he is very sick. Just as good today, as when it came out!

[wukalar76]

Brian Piccolo died on June 16, 1970 - 40 years ago today.

[wukalar76]

I love the scene where Gale and Brian were running through the park. They

finished their run when they arrived at a refreshment stand, and then they bought

two beers.

[075august]

How many of you know why witch John Cappelletti picked 22 as his number. 22 is a masonic, witch number, masons & witches use for power. All double numbers of powerful to witches. John is part of the witches, masons, occultists, satanists & kabbalists who blew up the WTC. Ann Cappelletti & Barbara Bush are witch daughters of Aleister Crowley.

[1967mustanggta]

I was so much into football as a kid when this movie came out - thought I'd see a movie about football - instead I was introduced to human relations and how men can love each other (I don't mean that way) and how race doesn't have to be a factor except in humor. Wish we had all grown up to be what we saw back then.

[Bo618]

BEST TOUCHING SCENE

[twilight1998m]

cant wait to see the movie im almost done with the book

[shadyside79]

Any man is allowed to cry during this movie

[WatchMyAwesomeVideos]

@shadyside79 Same thing with Saving Private Ryan and The Green Mile, LOL.

[chickm4gn3t]

best movie ever

[Juliaflo]

Outstanding!

[seanconner4]

first movie I cried at, I was 12

[killnumber1]

im also and im gonna see this movie soon cuz i just read the book and it made me cry especially at the end.

[gizmoshadow1978]

i wonder how butkus and sayers got along? lol and does anyone know where u can see the real sayers talk about piccalo?

[Dawn1959]

This is the best Brians Song Movie..,No one can come close to playing the parts as well as Billy Dee Williams and James Caan.What was so great about this movie,was Piccolo and Sayres made racial slurs against each other only to make them laugh at each other.I had a friend at school and we were the same way.He made fun of me being white and I made fun of him being black..,it was a bond like no other.People wear their feelings on their sleeves now and people cannot joke with each other.

[MermaidKristen]

a wonderful post......i watched this movie growing up and recently as an adult....and i still cry...Brian was an amazing man....an so was his best friend Gayle....I agree Billie and James did an amazing job playing these characters.....two friends that shared such a special bond...:))))))))

[sher3394]

I'm watching Brian's Song now..........what a wonderful picture....My best friend died at the age 27 yo....I know the pain...............rip

[weneedheroesnow]

I just lost a friend of 15 years 2 weeks ago.Same here.

[delise54]

This movie meant so much to me, I told my grandmother that I wanted Gayle Sayers' book for Christmas( "I am Third"). I still have it and I love it and everything associated with this story, including the song "Brian's Song" which never has left my mind. James and Billie were great in this. Thanks for posting!

[brgob]

Have seen this film on TV some 35 years or so. Cried a lot especially the scene where Brian was about to die and in this particular scene. Loved also the Legrand music.

[frankd1965]

i have several versions of the Legrand song by Johnny Mathis, Ed Ames, Andy Williams, Perry Como, Vikki Carr, Tony Bennett, Henry Macini & Doc Severinson.

[Bronwyn51]

I saw this movie when it first came out, and I cried like a baby, and then the next day at school, I had to watch it seven times in succession, and I cried every time. this had to be the saddest movie of all time, brian was only 24 when he died, leaving behind a wife and three daughters aged 5, 4 and 2. I am sure he is still watching over his widow joy and his daughters from heaven

[polska58]

its a great movie, and a great story...... and if what you say is true 2817brownie then it shows what a great man sayers was, i'm tearing up thinking about it,

[davebo48]

i believe this was the first time i ever cried watching a movie and it was on this scene. i think i was 11 yrs. old and i still recall it today.

[Tr0llsNeverDie]

that means your a homo.

[courageux28]

This movie is a classic. Former Chicago Bear wide receiver Dick Gordon is a good friend of mine. Says James Caan and Billy Dee Williams were nice guys while filming.

[furnace05]

his tears act as a lubricant....

[pard]

Johnny Drama... Cursed with wisdom is all.

[075august]

John had his witch powers taken away in 2007 along w Ann & Joyce's powers. I wonder if Martin is the son of L Ron Hubbards as Joey was. btw, Joey has been released from the demonic bondage in which witch Ann put him. He will have a chance to live a real life. I hope he meets up w the evil Cappellettis.

[7beers]

My God, I've never seen the movie, and I'm halfway to crying just from this scene. How weird is that?

[Edhallick]

I remember seeing this when they first played it on TV and I remember being absolutely horrified that something like this could happen to somebody. I was about 8 years old and it was REALLY traumatic. Then when I was about 20 it happened to my brother just like this movie and then my best friend when he was 30. Anybody out there thinks they have a gauranteed life from birth to old age, think again.

[skdenney922]

My husband has a toy football autographed by Gale Sayers and I know it is his prize possession. He considers it to be an honor to have something so meaningful. My husbands name is Brian and when Mr Sayers signed this- he made it a point to acknowledge Brian Piccolo. This is a true honor!!

[marcellisrobinson]

40 years ago we were lucky to have many classy guys like Gale Sayers playing in the NFL. They were more sportsman like, frowned on trash talking, and never committed felonies off the field.

Things are much different today. Too bad Ray Lewis, Tank Johnson,etc. don't know how to emulate a man like Gale Sayers.

[legalbeagle05]

Whatta buzz kill, Gayle.

[mikemoair]

this is the worst comedy ever!!!!!!

[amazingjecklebrother]

i break down more during the locker room scene

[cindysmith893222]

I agree. That locker room speech gets me every time and I've seen the movie over 100 times - the James Caan/Billy Dee Williams version, not that other garbage they re-made.

[amazingjecklebrother]

:) yep

[sooperfukker]

lando calrissian ?

[Tannerislegend]

before he met Han

[phonefreak290]

This is a sad movie. Remeber Brian Piccolo

[davidlroot]

Wow, how is that for serendipity? As you remember yesterday (June 10), the shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Museum was a tragedy that personally affected me. While watching this, I am thinking of not only those who are victims of the Holocaust, but also the courageous individual Stephen T. Johns. In other words, here we are comparing tragedies.

[doobeedoo58]

He still took the trophy at the end of the speech, tho!! Would have been more dramatice for him to just leave it there and sit down!!

[2817Brownie]

Actually, Sayers took the trophy and taped Brian Piccolo's name on to it and at his funeral laid it in his casket. It has been buried with Brian Picccolo's remains sincce June 1970.

[imniceer]

my opinion is i think this speech in the newest movie is done better because the actor that did this speech in the newest one realy got into the character but i still think there both great and i love this movie.

[TravisPLoverPage]

Today in my class we watched it.

Three of the girls (One of them being me.) cried..

This movie is so sad, yet it is one of the best movies ever.

[mybuddy64]

can you give their numbers because I'm feeling pretty romantic...!

[jkid54321]

I saw this movie today in class. We were also reading about it. It made me feel sad when Brian died :'(

[fottballboy456]

One of the only movies my dad has ever cried at

[TheStyxfan34]

@fottballboy456 mine too!

[placekicker]

My mom used to cry when this movie aired in the 70s, when I was a kid. I didn't watch it all the way through until I was 19...and I finally understood.

[bugboyngt]

It was amazing, absolutely beautiful!!!!!

[74magnolia]

The theme song from the movie always gets to me-beautiful, but such a sad reminder.

[hellwind909]

im crying right now :( i saw the hole movie i was crying like a baby and just this part gets to me

[Wehategod]

Its a Football tragedy however he never amounted to much as a player its a pity. However if he never had cancer he may have been second to Sayers but no one can run it like sayers did. Also don't forget on the 65 Bears you had Butkus, Sayers, and Ditka.

[TeamTraz1]

aww this is soo sad we watched the movie and read the book in school!!

[lifeonmars56]

One of the best made for TV movies ever.

Caan and Williams were awesome...

What a tearjerker !!!!!

[simluverk]

I cried!! My reading teacer was right... it is sad!!

[gitmotogo]

As children we may cry at many movies.There are only two movies that a man can cry while watching: 1. Brian's song  2. Deliverance (only allowed during the Ned Beaty scene)!

[USMCOCTOBER]

You mean Brians Song and Rudy.

[kickfostermac]

I thought the Ned Beaty scene was hot!!!!

[murphdawg40]

uh field of dreams over them all

[rustyalien]

can anyone post more videos of this movie ?

[BertieHigginsfan]

If this movie does not make you cry, the

song will.

[N8908E]

They say every true story ends in death. Well this is a true story.

[cpmg1978]

billy dee made a great performance.

[sparkyspiers]

I love this movie and it will make you cry. I played the game and there are no greater bonds you have with those guys. I am watching this video now and crying. God bless you Pic and Gale and there family's. There is no greater love but for your wife and then the bond with your teammates. Pic Rest In Peace.

[phishing4fun]

a movie that any man no matter how macho you are will cry even chuck norris cried RIP Brian Piccolo (yes he was real person)

[IlliniwekLivesOn]

37 years later and this movie still makes my cry. It with "We Are Marshall" and "Miracle" are my fav sports films and guaranteed to make me sob like some little girl! James Caan, Billy Dee, Shelly Fabares, Jack Warden and Judy Pace were all awesome.

[tubeeorrnottubee]

@IlliniwekLivesOn ~ Timeless classic.. will always pack a whallop I think. They can remake it all they want to, but this will always stand as the all time best. They don't make 'em like this anymore..

[iwtfy]

This clip cuts the scene short just a bit short because what added to the power was the dead silence after Gale finished. Nothing at all from the audiance. Just silence as people absorbed the power of Sayer's speech.

[Tripleggg1959]

This still makes me cry. I watched this movie when it was on the ABC movie of the week. I was in the 7th grade at the time.

[gobears1987]

According to "A Short Season," the speech in this film is verbatim to the one Gale actually gave.

[amazingjecklebrother]

i like the locker room speech its sadder to me then this one the one where they first find out piccalo is sick

[lookingfortalent2007]

Hello, do you have the locker room scene when Gale told the team?

[BertieHigginsfan]

Every true story ends in death.

[ilb410]

Beautiful ... and with heart.

[amazingjecklebrother]

tearjeakers for me

1 brains song

2 we are marshall

3 miracle

[jlfahrer]

I thought Cinderella Man was a good one too.

[NeedJustJesus]

My favorite sports movie. I had the 45 rpm disk record from the movie.

The theme song written,composed,and conducted by Michel Legrand Brian's Song(Hands of Time) was also charted on the radio in 1972.

[metareborn]

1 of 2 movies to ever make me cry. Other one was the champ

[kbrowd]

As a 3rd generation WAKE grad, I can tell you that every freshman class is required to watch this film, on campus, during orientation.

[mrhatXXL]

Really? I go to Wake now and they didn't have us watch it...which is a shame, of course

[Juliaflo]

@kbrowd Kudos and plaudits. I hope it is the authentic film released 40 years ago this year and NOT that insulting so-called remake.

[onawinganaprayer]

Two lives....one heart.

Brians Song was based on Gayle Sayer's book, "I AM THIRD."

God, family....and then, Gayle.

[runswithscissorsalot]

one of the best sports movies of all time. as with the other great sports movies: it's based on a true story and it's NOT about sports.

[BethnJulia]

This movie is guaranteed to make me sob. The first time I watched it I cried & cried & cried some more. I cried myself to sleep. When I woke up I remembered watching Brian's Song and cried some more. It's too much to bear.

[meversole0925]

This by far is the saddest movie I every seen and can watch it ever time it comes on. We as a nation of people need to learn from this movie that we must try to love each other because this is all we have.

[Mike01136]

im only in my teens read the book.

a really great book and movie when i do get

see it

[ladylike1980]

As far as I am concerned - this was one

of the best TV Movies of all time. So sad.

Beautiful Message.

[blmoodring]

This and the "Ricky bell story", and "something for joey" (Bill capalettes brother), are reality checks on what life is really all about.

[rustyalien]

thankyou for posting this ...if you have anymore go ahead and post it from this movie...what a great movie..thanks again

[jbolin000]

I agree with Rusty, there used to be several different parts of the movie. The ending is what is good and sad!

[GobBluth1]

Entourage.

[mrhatXXL]

Yeah, they played this same clip in an episode of Entourage. I figured someone looking for it might have remembered it from there too so...it's a tag.

[usadec27]

i first saw this when i was about 9 and cry everytime i hear the music. the remake is not as good as this original. thanks for posting it.

However, I have a question, why is there not the Michel Le grand version of the song anywhere on youtube? I mean there are solo versions but not the original movie version.

Thanks, carole

[jbolin000]

Just a remarkable movie and friendship. If any of you are old enough to remember this movies in the seventies and early eighties was on every Thanksgiving afer the Thanksgiving football games. Great times,... thanks for putting this on.

[gobears1987]

Such a great and sad movie
