They Shoot Horses, Don't They ? Final scene

[JellyBoom]

Body & Soul playing in the background! Classic favorite!

[makthnife]

easily..I use a finger gesture. Care to pick which finger I am holding up? Considering how long ago I posted here, I take it you have nothing better to do than think of these things. to quote a much better movie and one w.ou overacting, "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?" Sad, sad, sad.

Now, beat it- (happy? I used two words for your one! Still prefer the fnger gesture here.....)

[iowacorn123]

Why'd you do it kid

She asked me to

Is that the only reason you got

Yes. Awesome lines.

[rem2267]

Gig Young deserved his Oscar.  Yay, Gig!

[rem2267]

When I saw that Bruce Dern's character and his wife were still in the contest, I cried like a baby.

[guillermoj1]

Brilliant!

jane is absolutely marvelous!

[ZippyBarnstormer]

My Cousin likes to show women this film before he takes them to the pool.

[gladefire]

To bad Jane didn't shoot herself, for real!

[moonwalkerfilms]

@gladefire too bad scum bags with nothing creative, brilliant, interesting, compelling, soul evolving to offer the world just spread their envious, negative, angry, mediocre selves when spouting off inanely their substandard, vulgar and ignorant criticism.

[kerekest]

Ez szörnyű.

[mzeiksz]

Nagyon jó film!

[agenttheater5]

I saw it with my parents and my dad commented that it was brilliantly set up, because they couldn't have been thinking straight. I'd already read the book, but I still felt extremely depressed. You know he's going to hang right?

[outinsider]

1) This is a legendary memorable performance by Fonda. And the only reason why some commentators are hating on her is based on their misinformation about what she did in Vietnam

2) Rest In Peace MIchael Sarrazan.

3) If Jewish people really controlled Hollywood, would Mel Gibson still be making movies?

[rafaeladrianayolanda]

Will never forget this film, no matter how old I get!

[makthnife]

Sarrazin...RIP. SO shoulda won. Fonda's a hack. How does such a sucky actress get away with so much? every line is conceited and mastabatory. That punch in the middle of the line followed by the breathlessness is her "trademark" people. Same in every role. Watch "Sunday In New York" and "...Golden Pond." Her overacting is in every damn role! Like watching a bad high school actress outta lemont, IL or somethin....le meow

[Babyhowdy233]

@makthnife

I couldn't have said it better! It has always amazed me that so many folks think she is a great actress when she overacts in every role she does, and always essentially plays the same character too.

[kraftdinnerboy]

@makthnife I looked up "knob" in the dictionary - and there you were!

[makthnife]

@kraftdinnerboy

Just cause yer jealous of my mug in the good book doesn't mean you have to meow meow meow all the way home, now. NO COMMIE-HORSE SOUP FOR YOU!

[moonwalkerfilms]

@makthnife How do you masturbate if you can't even spell it is my question?

[MrBEB123]

Another Jew controlled Hollywood actor bites the dust.

[moonwalkerfilms]

@MrBEB123 another two bit racist scum bag posting crap.

[60scinema]

Stunningly shot drama, and the way she says "I'd never make it," haunts me to this day. The pain, bitterness and resignation in her voice is so heartbreaking. Jane Fonda is amazing!!!!

[creolelady182]

I can see why ig Young and Fonda won the Oscar. great performances and great writing-not like the trash thats out there today!

[TL250Rider]

They Shoot Horses Dont't They?

[TL250Rider]

It is Lick Pier it is the Aragon Ballroom Lick Pier Venice California

Right after the movie was made the Aragon AKA Cheatah  Burned down

[Kaatibun]

"What are you gonna do?" "I'm gonna get off this merry-go-round. I'm so sick of all stiking things." "What thing?" "Life. And don't give me no sunshine lectures!" "I wasn't going to." "Then what were you looking at me that way for?" "I wasn't, I was just tryin to see you face." "Well keep looking. And stick around till the end." "Why did you do it, kid?" "She asked me to." "Obliging bastard." "Is that the only reason you got, kid?" "They shoot horses, don't they?"

[mistamistaladyisdead]

Jane Fonda! How Beautiful! How Talented!

[RatedArggg]

If she'd won the contest, she would have had to "reimburse" the organizers for food and use of facilities, etc. That would have left her with about 2 cents. That's the whole reason she gave up - there was no winning.

[flowerricee]

get a life reejon1. get over it. as the other poster said, blame the government. they are responsable for thousands of deaths in a senseless war. stop scapegoating jane fonda.

[reejon1]

So that makes what she did OK?

[jerryjoe88]

Marathon dance contest. Metaphor for life.

& just like life..she quit the dance.

[Dehzee]

I find it sad and bizarre that this type of bizarre hypnotic neural linguistic programming, used to mess up the masses, hasn't been seen through yet, and that so many are still here celebrating this type of senselessly violent PROGRAMMING. Sigh.

[TL250Rider]

Aragon Ballroom

Lick Pier

Venice California

The Cheeta Club

Lick Pier

Venice Valifornia

Note This was not a Part of Pacific Ocean Park.

Great Place

[justcallmeassinine]

@TL250Rider Aragon ballroom ? Maybe Avalon on Catalina no ?

[reejon1]

Was a great film but it does not excuse the fact that Jane Fonda was a traitor to our country and service men during the Vietnam war, the woman caused the loss of life to a lot of our men & woman!

[jerryjoe88]

@reejon1 You know who caused a BIGGER lose of life than Jane Fonda? The Johnson/Nixon administrations.

[UncleMcCrustyPoo]

Clearly she should've used that gun to cripple all the other contestants, then win the money. Or just like, rob someone.

[acent2112]

More like this film: DONT LOOK NOW, Donald Sutherland, STRAW DOGS, Dustin Hoffman, PAPILLION,Steve McQueen, SLEEPER,Woody Allen, KING RAT,George Segal, CABERET, Liza Minelli, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, Peter O'Toole, BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER KWAI, Alec Guiness- Just a few titles to consider for this type of dramatic purposeful storytelling.

[acent2112]

Revealing is the fact that the Blacklisted directors and screenwriters like Dalton Trumbo (Papillion) wre beginning to find a newlt granted lease on life after the 1950's exile.

[acent2112]

Realism and the gory truth from 1970's cinema. I just viewed Dustin Hoffman in STRAW DOGS this morning, another ABC Productions film of this era,

I realize I was a small boy at the time of these films, but with that said, it was absorbed to me to be among the Times that were happening & now again presently, seeing current political socio environment.

[acent2112]

I can say these films are more than necessary but are not duplicated or shown with the directness of intentional social moreway debate and discussion.

[ShatterdKhaos]

Awesome movie. Thank you for posting this scene I've been looking for it off an for a while.

[jamesdv54]

Naturally I wish I had met Jane Fonda before Roger Vadim did; but I was too young at the time. It should however be said also of Michael Sarrazin: his greatest moment (the whole film).

[InYourFaceNewYorker]

Is this the movie where a man dies of a heart attack during one of these dance marathons?

[EastofEli]

Yes, Red Button's character.

[slomoschon2000]

It's more about assisted suicide shown at the final scene where the girl is to eak to press on the trigger and beg her partner to do it for her at her time. Listen well. Now? Now! At the police station , he sait only and simply: "They shoot horses, don't they?" It's a blow of mercy.

[olvispoli]

520 - 620

[jferkfjkj]

hey jane put some more gusto into you're acting, you're faltering.

[bigredscorcher]

awesome, awesome, film!

[barkbbdog2]

This is the dumbest movie ever made, they should have been all shot!

[jefflondon80]

Jane's absolutelly outstanding in this film. One of the greatest perfomances in film history, period.

[Gl0wh0ney]

Thank you so much for uploading this. I've always been profoundly affected by this movie and this scene.

[GinaAlexandra]

Jane Fonda is tremendous in this film.

[Hazelnutcake]

Jane Fonda giving one of her best performances in this film, she should have won the Best Actress Oscar!

[lizziesecondstreet]

Jane Fonda is brilliant! If you get the chance, go see her on Broadway now in 33 Variations!

[bjorkwhale]

magnifique tout simplement

[bjorkwhale]

wonderful

[nw8778]
