Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - final fight

[LastlyMore]

@RichardElden to each their own. I was moved by their performances. Sounds like you're a hater, regardless of what that guy does.

[LastlyMore]

Tremendous acting

[TheQuentinStuckey]

Amazing movie, so emotionally powerful...

[Kellyrowan15]

@RichardElden why do you even watch it then? ^^ bastard hahahah pathetic bastard you just don't know anything.... don't you have a live mhm...yeah well I don't think so. but hey you know what keep on leaving useless comments, sucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DU HURENSOHN, DU HURENSOHN, ICH MACHE PARTY AUF DEINEM GRAB ....KIZ

[VeronicaAlsina]

@woohoorachel: read the entire play. You're doing yourself an injustice as an actor if you do a monologue based simply in one movie scene. Don't get me wrong - Elizabeth Taylor was brilliant; she won an Oscar for this role, but read the whole thing. The play is incredible.

[KateAtherton09]

'i think i'll have you committed'

' you WHAT?!'

:') love it

[WTFunkyStuff]

Because Liz Taylor is AWESOME.

[AppleSaysNo]

Revolutionary road is very similar... Liz and leonardo dicaprio are very talented... So was kate and burton

[wohoorachel]

Hey I'm thinking of doing a monologue from this. From 3.00-4.00 but I'm not sure if this is actually apart of the play can someone help me out? Thanks..... Basically I just need to know if that monologue is actually from the published play and not just the movie.

[zombielust1969]

@wohoorachel Do your own fucking reasearch, but the film is line for line perfect!!!!

[wohoorachel]

@zombielust1969 Maybe you should take some classes on how to not be a dipshit online because you're doing nothing but making yourself look like an idiot.

But on a side note; I auditioned with this piece and got into the advanced class! Woot!

[dmatt10635]

Gotta love it! Incredible!

[forbush37]

This is fantastic acting on both characters parts. However, Liz Taylor does too good of a job. Martha, Taylor's character, is suppossed to be an unforgiving person who is not supposed to be sympathetic in the original play of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

[Aganiel]

@RichardElden aren't you grumpy.

[lasbagman1]

@ Richard Elden, I think you are a very warped individual or a talentless simpleton.

[KellyGreen5555]

@lasbagman1 This idiot troll posts hateful garbage under EVERY Taylor/Burton video.

[ThePharaoho]

Now that bitch could act! We lost one of the greatest actresses in cinematic history. Goodness, she makes the hollywood actresses of today look like shit.

[diddeliduddi]

Paul Scofield deserved it and Richard Burton deserved it, they all fucking deserved the statue. The funny one thing is Burton declined A Man for All Seasons (which Scofield accepted and won an oscar for) to play this, but in the end I'm just happy Burton got the part.

[fewcusi]

Richard Burton was a racist?

[ToughXArmy69]

Bravo to Jack Warner and Mike Nichols for casting The Burtons. I recall Bette Davis wanted this movie and thought she had it with James Mason. Others considered were Pat Neal and Roz Russell (who would have been interesting) but Liz Taylor at age 32 and the Queen of Hollywood and the most gorgeous woman in the world took on the role and play the harridan Martha at age 50 to a fare thee well and won justly the Oscar. A great movie and a classic film from a great studio Warner Bros.

[silrosm]

RIP LIZ !!!

WHERE IS THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE, PLEASE'¡+`pç´ñ-.,87(/)=?¿

[vbabe11111]

@RichardElden

ok i get you. its kind of like liz taylor doing all those british movies and not being able to attempt a british accent. but if you think about it  liz's not being able to attempt a british accent was a lot funnier than burton not being able to attempt an american one. poor liz just looked so out of place. beautiful, but out of place in those movies!

[LaMarquiseDeMerteuil]

Both Taylor and Burton were absolutely amazing in this movie. This level of superb acting has rarely been equalled since. they both deserved an Oscar. I'm among those who will never understand why Burton didn't get his well desrved reward. But, in the end, both actors have made this film unforgettable and that's what truly matters. They've now been re-united in whichever afterlife there may be.

[vbabe11111]

@RichardElden

was that a crack or is it your belief as to why he didn't get it?

[TheJoanna227]

absolutely brilliant.

[2225530]

Goodbye to my girl. I'll never forget how regal and grand you were with just enough spice to work nerves.

Sincerely and forever,

your girl Diva Ramirez..3/2011

[TheStanbabe]

Dear V.Babe,

Dick Burton should have won the oscar for this,,but he lost..Damn It!

[nanteuilly]

Brillante actrice...

[dontchalovett3]

AMAZING!!

I find it extremely hard to believe why some people hate this film. I am blown away by this

[MrBlairblack]

i'm not convinced of the idea/concept of 'afterlife', but if there is such a thing i hope that richard and elizabeth find each other once again for eternity. (richard burton, rest in peace. elizabeth taylor, rest in peace. you both have enriched the culture of this world, and i am grateful.) aum.

[jumpforjoy6]

@MrBlairblack They got married twice and it didn't work out. Pretty sure it wasn't meant to be!!!

[redvan2000]

hopped up arab?

[MsMrsHerbert]

final...R.I.P. Liz...Great Woman and Actrees!!!

[bazzbazzley]

Edward Albee's script is a masterpiece and she delivers it with aplomb as does Richard Burton...in short, a jewel to rival anything she ever wore! It's unrivalled in modern drama! An actress bearing her talents....superb! RIP

[Albacorewing]

She was just brilliant.

[Jimmibear13]

RIP Liz and Dick!!

[Thewaiter525600]

RIP ELIZABETH. :(

[CuddlyBadger]

Thank god the foul-mouthed miserable creature is finally able to zip it.

[Famannefr]

Great Actress. Eventful life. Hope she's with Dick now.

[Famannefr]

Great Actress. Eventful life. Hope she's with Dick now.

[lloyddobblerNJ]

R.I.P.

[sequel6]

RIP - LIZ.

[paulb1988]

RIP Liz. Now she and Richard can fight for all eternity. =-)

[rolltide624]

NARCISSIST she's a perfect example of a horrible mother or wife

[miceandcats]

@RichardElden oh, shut up.

[2225530]

Ms. Taylor, the last of the classic Hollywood stars..real stars. She is the only one left.

[SchoenbergWebernBerg]

@2225530

Kirk Douglas and Lauren Bacall

[2225530]

@SchoenbergWebernBerg Absolutely, Douglas and Bacall are great Hollywood cinema names who are still alive along with de Havilland, Fontaine, and Rooney. However, there are stars; and there are LEGENDS AND SUPERSTARS. Ms. Taylor is was a Hollywood Superstar from the first time she was introduced to the world. Unlike the other afore-noted, hers is a household name. Thank you for being a fan.

--diva ramirez, the best fan she ever had....

goodbye to the most beautiful eyes ever...3/27/11

[2225530]

Praising a video warrants a removal???? Weirdos

[Kellyrowan15]

liz please don't die on us too soon...what a loss that will be!

[major7rm]

Get well soon Liz. We all love you.

[billygoyboyII]

They're both brilliant! One of the best scenes in the movie! It looks like Liz, really hits her head on the car?! Comments?

[Kellyrowan15]

@billygoyboyII she did...I read she fainted right after

[jackmcdaid53]

I just saw the play and the screenplay seems to be a lot different, same idea, different dialogue.

[cruzicalthemusical]

I love this movie and it's one of my favorite plays. I did this scene in my acting class, and niether I or my partner physically fit the part, but it was really fun for us because it was so different from the types of characters we are used to playing. After we did that scene I discovered the movie and I know love, with this being my favorite scene because I can quote most of it and it is one of my favorite memories of the class. :) Thanks for posting this!

[bichomaldito]

This movie is so full of awesome scenes that you can't watch it in parts.

[lashkaretoiba]

The whole thing is a game.

[masaimao]

WOUNDED ANGRY DRINKING. TOTAL!

[masaimao]

ANGRY DRUNKS. TOTAL! 

[Thundralight]

drunks

[2225530]

Im going to finish you before Im through with you.

[mocktheflock]

what's wrong in simply getting a divorce and sparing themselves from all this shit? Did that never occur to the author?

[lucky90000]

Unfortunately i think the author was trying to reflect real life. And all to often we stay in these horrible relationships for fear of being alone and our own issues with co-depend personalities

[vbabe11111]

@lucky90000

no this movie is a clear cut case of what happens when unresolved issues are not faced and dealt with.

[bhalle66]

This film never gets old. Makes as much sense in 2010 just as it did in 1966.

[ole9421]

I remember watching this movie on a Sunday afternoon matinee back in about 1975 when I was 11 years old. Up until then monsters like Godzilla, Frankenstein and werewolves were the scariest things I could imagine. Then along comes the monster of Virginia Woolf! Scared the shit out of me! Kept me from wanting to get married for years.

[2225530]

@ole9421 ... I have the same memory..except mine was a Saturday matinee. The tv guide was the first page I'd grab from the newspaper. And, I had to sneak to watch because it came on at 2AM as well as the earlier matinee time slot. At that time I was only a 9 year-old who was supposed to be sleeping. lol

[ole9421]

@2225530 Thanks for sharing your memory. This movie is an all time favorite classic of mine as well. Cheers!

[krofan]

It's really richard burtons rol with i like most.

[VitaXiBella87]

Real actors, ladies and gentlemen, real honest to God talented ACTORS

[Kaichita]

a thousand years of you has been quite enough!

[MrCastilloNathaniel]

One of those rare movies that can be re released and still have the same inpact.

[ScottishArtFan]

"You can stand it - You married me for it" so cruel and so desperately sad at the same time. Abuse and Psychological Warfare - Foreplay for Martha and George. Amazing piece of work by Albee.

[Minnexyz]

Two very intelligent people who can't seem to find anything better to do than make each others lives a living hell.

[morchie717]

Is it just me or did Revolutionary Road rip off this scene?

[veeganboy]

@morchie717 : I also thought that there were strong influences from this movie on that film.

[mckd3]

@morchie717 I thouhgt the same when I saw it! So it wasn´t me after all.

[JPLV]

@Rootie1963 Now I haven't read or seen Revolutionary Road, but the novel was in fact published BEFORE WAoVW in 1961. And WAoVW premiered in 1962.

[zombielust1969]

@Rootie1963 Oh please, have you ever had an argument with a lover??? Both works are great and amazing!!! There is no homage anywhere and nothing was stolen, the stories in each piece of work are totally different.....read the play and the book before you comment...

[zombielust1969]

@morchie717 No, it didnt!!! Just because a couple is fighting, it doesnt mean they are fighting about the samething....pay attention you idiot...

[thadxxx]

SNAP...probably the best scene of the movie...incredible acting... this movie had to affect their relationship in their "real life"

[Aganiel]

They should never remake this movie. just to keep the magic of this

[bawoman]

acting like this,dialogue like this,its just.....orgasmic.

[CranberriAppl]

They don't make them like this anymore. I've only seen it once, but it is brilliant.

[shallwethen]

i caught this on tv once and it blew me away. incredibly intense

[Etheline]

"Total war?" "TOTAL" What a scene, what a film - one of the best EVER! A real masterpiece!

[YouCanSayIt]

@marekerhardt - Sorry, but you're claiming something that's not true. Liz & Richard didn't raise their grandchildren.

[marekerhardt]

These were my grandparents and I was in the middle. Now it's me and certain men......

[YouCanSayIt]

This was an amazing movie. In real life, they were a disfunctional couple, and in this movie, the world watched them act it out on stage. In real the two of them did it all, living life as large as one could imagine.

[feelgoodaboutit]

Elizabeth's acting in this movie is what acting is all about. She is what the old Hollywood studios used to turn out in terms of movie goddesses. She is one of the last, if not the last great star to come out of the MGM studios. She has captivated the world for the last 65 years, and all eyes are still on Liz.

[vbabe11111]

@feelgoodaboutit

and she wanted more roles like this; roles that depended more on the craft and not so much on her looks. but they wouldn't give them to her. and i believe it's because they had her in a a box that worked for them-the box that made the studio money-and thats where they wanted to keep her. a real shame if you ask me. she was a damn good actress.

[KURISUCHRIS99]

its liked martha embarassed george in the beginning and in the end he started emarassing and tormenting her

[fosbury68]

What's she so angry about? She sounds deranged.

[LickMyCuntMoFo]

Her husband has exposed the secret about her son.

Watch the movie.

[JMoneyYourHoney]

@LickMyCuntMoFo

He doesn't expose it until the end.

Heed your own advice.

[longfoot]

Total depression loses every time to semi/no depression. I left this movie theatre totally depressed. Thank the devil I live in a very happy relationship. They should have just divorced..oh they did, in real life, twice.

[dale1966gto]

to think the movie actually depressed you is a testament as to how good the acting was. both were english gold. they don't come any better. this movie would serve as a source or textbook of acting for intermediate or advanced students. meryl streep is the only contemporary actress that comes close to this level. it's a shame both of their lives and careers suffered because of alcoholism.

in a second thought, their personalities were forged by alcoholic thinking. you have to be one to know.

[chaddersthechad]

@Ufospace, oops you mean Edward Albee, not Albert Albee lol! I think Liz is excellent, Yeah bergin thing confuses me too..think you can just treat it as bourbon. Anyone?

[VthatsME]

I don't get the ''joke'' about the bergin. The story George tells to Nick about ''the grandest day of my youth''; the boy who had killed his mother (George) orders bergin and everybody starts to laugh. Why is this? I can't find the name ''bergin'' on the internet, does the boy mean ''bourbon''?

[tbirdlizzy]

Yes. Everyone laughs because of his mistake.

[UFOSPACE1999]

The part was for a older woman, Bette Davis wanted to do it. AND would of been excellent for it. BUT while Taylor is great and deserved her Oscar, Katherine Hepburn would of been SUPERB in THE ROLE. SHE KNEW ALBERT ALBEE and loved his work.

[phryedbanana]

One of my favorite scenes. Grateful you posted. The subtitles a nice touch for those who don't speak english. I wonder.  Does it translate the same? I think the scene, the acting, is enough to show anyone what's going on. Cudos dear.

[vbabe11111]

oh and i forgot to add: liz received academy wards for butterfeild 8, and this film. she was also nominated for suddenly last summer, cat on a hot tin roof and raintree country. now you tell me: does this sound like an actress who doesn't have any talent? get real!

[dale1966gto]

when liz passes the world will have lost one of the finest actresses ever. she ranks right up there with bette davis. meryl streep is the only contemporary who comes close.

[Extrapolator29]

I'm quite amazed to see that this clip has Portuguese subtitles as the marriage as depicted in the wonderfully sharp and dark screen play is culturally so anglo saxon that I would have thought that the interest in / empathy with this film in Brazil or Portugal would have been minimal (I've spent years living in the UK and in Portugal so know both cultures very intimately). If anyone can cast light on this - admittedly highly tangential - point, I'd be very interested to learn more.

[phryedbanana]

I suppose the content speaks beyond borders. Good diouloge and fierce acting can be appreciated anywhere.  Great film.

[dale1966gto]

i just glanced at the subtitles and assumed spanish, but they're similar. more similar than german and dutch.

i never thought of it as being an example of a bad anglo-saxon marriage.

i can't readily recall but did burton have to loose his welch accent for this role. he played a history professor, right. and the younger george seigel was a biology prof.

this movie should be bought and kept for a study in acting. if liz didn't get an oscar - and i don't think she did - she should have.

[marekerhardt]

She got an Oscar! The subtitles are Portugese. I learned to lose my acent at will. These are my grandparents and I grew up with them....OY!

[tallulah1961]

Actually Liz was 34 when this movie premiered on June 22, 1966. She deserved the Oscar for this film. I always loved Richard Burton as an actor as well.

[vbabe11111]

i was pissed when richard didn't get the oscar for this

[KURISUCHRIS99]

they both deserved one

though elizabeth did win one

[Extrapolator29]

This is a wonderful depiction of marriage as living hell: a co-dependent couple who can't stand each other's weaknesses but can't live without each other and feel too old and tired to leave each other...mesmerising and true to life in a bitter, dark way.

Wonderful acting, although, according to many accounts, Elizabeth and Richard (who were married to each other twice) were playing themselves...Burton sadly died at 58 with a liver destroyed by alcohol.

[PeterFirthFan]

I think the cigarettes clogged all the arteries in his brain, leading to a massive cerebral haemorrhage.

[dale1966gto]

this is a sad situation and an example of how alcohol can destroy the minds and bodies of geniuses. liz taylor thankfully recovered from her alcoholism. she had a couple of relapses, however but is sober today to my knowledge. another couple of geniuses in the literary field were edgar allen poe and steven king. steven king recovered with help from family and friends. poe did not...dying in a baltimore sanitarium of delirium tremens at age 40. he could have cranked out many more masterpieces.

[Extrapolator29]

incredible as this may seem, Benny Hill did a wonderful spoof of this in which he played both parts and did a superb job on Burton's voice.

For some light relief, look up 'Benny Hill spoof Richard Burton'

[Zebrowski32]

Liz Taylor and Richard Burton were remarkable in this film. Liz was only 33 - incredible to believe: she put on two stone purposely to middle-aged and frumpy. Some aspects of the characterisations are reputed to be close to real life as the two of them were married to each other twice and were both known as having very strong, combustible personalities...

[CarlyIsAGangster]

It's scenes like this when you really see Elizabeths talent.

She didn't win the Oscar because she was nice to look at, quite the opposite actually.

Minus the marriages, diamonds, and money Elizabeth Taylor had amazing talent. You can't deny it.

[vbabe11111]

alot of people will deny it because eliz was pretty. they did the same thing to grace kelly and audrey hepburn and they are now doing it to kate winslet. in other words, good actors look a certain way and good looking actors are not to be taken too seriously. its a shame.

[Tigerlily21]

nah I think they are doing it to Charlize Theron. No one is denying Kate Winslet's talent because of her looks and she's seen as more of a down to earth English rose. Charlize Theron is stunning in that old hollywood way and gave the performance of a lifetime in Monster but people stil say only because she had to use makeup that it was all makeup, when she did amazing acting in that film.

[vbabe11111]

its being done to Kate to. look at the movie she received the AA for last year. it was a good movie don't get me wrong but it had a lot of sex scenes in it and i just think Kate deserves better than that.

[markape1]

for anger management check out "PRANKSTERS IN THE PARK" here on you tube...

[dogwillhuntt]

amazing!!!

[eugenie017]

Great, great, great!

[chavelavargasfan]

total war !!! lol

I simply LOVE this film !!! Liz and Burton gave their very best... I can't imagine a film better than this: human drama, love & hate, fantastic music, interesting actors.... Fantastic !

[thebride6781]

Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor together on screen is like watching thunder crash...remarkable!

[Beatleschick1]

how does this movie end?

[eddie1967]

We find out that Martha is indeed off kilter....

[ricyboi7]

has to be the best acting ever!!!

[tiltowwhirl]

Wow, that's intense.

[simonzon]

This tiresome couple are two of the most self centred, nauseatingly unattractive and belligerent people it is possible to imagine!

[KiNgAli20uA]

can anybody help me ?

what happens in the third act?

[BeondaPale]

Sweet dreams are made of this. Who am I to disagree?

[babyycat]

YOU MARRIED FOR IT>>>> God how true for so many these days....

[fayntenksendyu]

YOU'RE NOTHING

YOU WEREN'T THERE!

[gdyr08]

shut up whore

[BusinessButterfly]

love love this line

[oscarfanatics]

ok. the person who puts liz over kate hepburn is certifiable... IMO. Though liz was great!, kate was NOT overated. she was allll she was cracked up to be. A brilliant actress

[perrypearl]

God, these two are my grandparents and they had the only hand in raising me. Somehow I'm considered sane.

[perrypearl]

Liz outperforms that overrated Katharine Hepburn easily here.

[softcelltainted22]

"After 1000 years of being married to you." there are fucken great lines in this-

"I swear, if yo existed I'd divorce you"

(when she's wearing the tightest and loudest fucken thing she could squeeze into) "Oh, Martha, you're Sunday chapel dress"

countless others...

[BrianGodard]

Richard Burton is my hero!

[Hellhathnofury]

This is one of my favorite scenes in the whole movie. Watching this scene, I can see a little bit of my friends' relationship and some of myself as well.

[blastedwpg]

Great scene. Easily one of Elizabeth Taylor's best scene.:)

[dvlaries]

Woolf never stops entertaining because the character of Martha drives the 'angel' side of the viewer to want to punch her in the mouth and bloody it, but the 'devil' side of the viewer would love to pull precisely the same shit AND get away with it! "You can stand it, you married me for it! ...You're gonna get it, baby..."

[senoramariposa]

I would love to play Martha.

[kiajoon]

Is Martha Stewart working in the kitchen at the diner?

[lilchuy01]

this is elizabeth taylor's best seen probably in a whole movie

[ephender1]

"Your melons bobbling."

[missingklink]

What an acting job!What a pair!Absolutely SUPERB!!!!

[freefromfolsom]

I cant believe they didnt give Richard an oscar for this.

[skinnyfat55]

@freefromfolsom

[skinnyfat55]

@skinnyfat55 @freefromfolsom - hollywood never forgave Richard Burton for taking Elizabeth Taylor away from them. he deserved more than one oscar. his performance in Virginia Wolff is brilliant.

[korintenkaker]

Superb acting!So real it makes you shiver.I lived it with the grandparents that raised me.Somehow I stayed relatively sane.This was a hard way to grow up,a very very hard one indeed.

[Logan5v]

Yeah. I can only imagine. But you came thru and that takes some determination. I wonder how different I would have been if I had George and Martha as parents.

It probably would have done me some good.
