Knockin on Heaven's Door - Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid

[kostestastevi]

Wonderful!

[drduke28]

This is what God thinks about when he needs to cry.

[dudkhalia]

Probably, a lot of guys could not imagine what hard it would be...we in south america, have seen a lot of rural bandits and they were not as bad as official history try them to appear... it has been a very complicated story, but what a great song... we have all left our souls in this scene... perhaps a better analysis is needed, but the feelings are great. greetings to all warriorrs that never surredender!

[dysplasticrome0]

@rossrjensen I have seen all the Westerns you posted and "Once Upon a time in the West" has to be my all time favorite film!

[hippyblood4]

@dysplasticrome0 Agreed...........The only time Henry Fonda played a villain. Directed by Sergio Leone, who directed my favorite gangster film...."Once upon a time in America".

[dysplasticrome0]

Love Sam Peckinpah's films. I agree with Pretorious700's comment.

[altoona701]

@RichardElden you again retard

[ragtoprider01]

@RichardElden ........Go buy a GaGa CD and go to your room.

[radabon]

This song is meant to sound like it's sung by a dying cowboy. Guns N' Roses is way way way off.

[ShareTheMike]

@radabon Both versions are good....although I agree the original was better....I think Axl Rose, in his version, was trying to say something about a hard living "rock and roller" getting older and feeling his mortality...

[radabon]

@ShareTheMike Well, when you put it that way...

[Sieglinde84]

Really beautiful. And Katy Jurado look so proud and she's a wonderful, brave woman.

[pretorious700]

All of the idiots who accused Peckinpah of misogyny and relying too much on violence should watch this scene and then stfu forever. The pain in Coburn's face at having to kill again is one of the most subtly powerful things I've ever seen in a film.

[curbArlecchino]

I finally saw this after many years of being curious but not enough to rent it. I wish I had seen this years ago, I love it.

[nvet1953]

Great charactrer actors.....James Coburn...Slim Pickens.....memorable....

[monk22yrs]

anesthesia started being used in the early 1800s, but it wasn't something that could be used in the middle of nowhere of the wild west.

president garfield died in 1881, after being shot---but it was doctors putting their fingers in his wound to find the bullet that killed him.

a pbs documentary even noted how doctors would use dirty knives on patients that they used for autopsies.

the western BITE THE BULLET...taken from saying of biting something during a painful operation.

[zombieswithcandy]

One of the greatest film scenes ever... Period!

[1979berty]

Amazing, Thanks :)

[LFL84]

Bwuahahaha I just saw your comment! Let me grasp "superficially educated". Oh you mean specific? Pompous? Yes I tend to type those specific comments in the....you ready for it? The comment section.

[JPW1213]

This is the scene that stays with me when I think of the film. Slim Pickens and Katy Jurado say it all without saying anything.  My favorite western along with Lonesome Dove.

[juanfss]

es una puta obra de arte...

[carbine125]

This is probably the best scene of the whole film but really its not that great as a whole. Compared to alfredo garcia or wild bunch it doesn't match up. Plus Bob Dylan is terrible in it even if he symbolises something.

[hej2iscool]

I wish i was in the army or lived in the old days, where you got killed in war, and returned glorious home, in a coffin :)

[monk22yrs]

@hej2iscool in the olde days, you crapped in a bucket and threw it out a window.

in the olde days, horse shit was everywhere on the streets---which is also something they don't show in westerns.

in the olde days, if you had to get your leg or arm cut off during the war, they just got you drunk, and you passed out from the pain on the operating table, cause there wasn't any anesthiacs.

such were the olde days.

[LOLwafflesPRODUCTION]

@monk22yrs How didn't they have anesthetics?

[pretorious700]

@LOLwafflesPRODUCTION they weren't invented yet kid, were you born yesterday?

[LOLwafflesPRODUCTION]

@pretorious700 Uh, how long ago are we talking here?

[Colton8646]

In my opinon best ten Westerns of all time not in any order 1) Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid 2) True Grit 2011 3) The Good, The Bad and The Ugly 4) For a Fistful of Dollars 5) For a Few Dollars more 6) Hangmans Knot 7) Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid 8) Hang Em High 9) True Grit 1969 10) Red River

[rossrjensen]

@Colton8646 If you haven't seen Once Upon a Time in the West, you should. Not only is that my favorite western, but it's also my favorite movie.  I would also throw in Unforgiven, the Wild Bunch, Shane, and the Outlaw Josey Wales into the mix. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford was pretty spectacular to me too.

[9nomni]

This scene should have been longer and the whole song played out. It's so emotional and you kind of feel gypped when it fades out so soon. Not to mention Dylan wrote it for this scene and the rest of the lyrics pertain to to it.

[lllDevilbytheDeedlll]

I love how Richard Donner paid homage to this wonderfully poignant scene with the ending to Lethal Weapon 2. :)

[Derl30]

Perfection

[anomie13]

Slim Pickens steals two movies with his dying scenes--this one and Dr. Strangelove.

[sb2244]

In my book this is one of the greatest movie's and soundtracks ever made. If you are either a western or Bob Dylan fan please do yourself a favor and see this movie.

[m00se321]

Great Acting one of the Best Westerns

[azowipe1]

Have to say I prefer the 1988 cut, without the lyrics ...

[bobbya16]

@azowipe1 ....the lyrics make the scene...its not even close..

[LFL84]

@bobbya16 if you think the lyrics make the scene then you must like your emotion and subtext spoon fed to ya.

[themitch1966]

@LFL84 I think the whole scene:lyrics, Pat looking regretful at HAVING to kill,the Bakers poigant looks of love and pain. To ME it all comes together to make one of the best scenes in all of film.

[LFL84]

@themitch1966 you almost convinced me, and it does work well as a music video, within a poem of a movie--that Pat Garret is. I see the appeal but it is a bit heavy handed and obvious for me--ONLY compared to the original instrumental which for me does not subtract from the same depth and emotion you are getting from the scene. I don't need the added subtext to feel the moment. It is cool as hell though with the full Dylan song but I do not think matches the subtle poetry of the instrumental.

[themitch1966]

@LFL84 Now, keep in mind, I have only viewed it such as seen on this video. I am going to have to try and find it with out the lyrics and then compare.

[LFL84]

@themitch1966 I just saw it on the big screen 2 weeks ago. It was bliss. But I would like to see THIS version though as well. It's a favorite film definitely and I am surprised there are various version. I guess another misunderstood masterpiece like Bladerunner.

[inayellowsubmarine]

@LFL84 ......you try to talk superior, but you're not fooling me...you're one of those superficially educated people that have a pompous attittude....loser!

[kamancheh]

@themitch1966

Yes - I agree. And Slim has been belly shot and he and his lady both know he's gonna die. They say everything with their eyes after Slim wanders down by the water. It just rips your heart out.

[themitch1966]

@kamancheh I always thought Slim Pickens was a VERY under rated and under appreciated actor. You see this scene and think "How could he not have EVER won an Academy Award?". Of course, then you remember: The Academy voters are idiots. This scene is easily one of the top 5 films scenes of all time.

[kamancheh]

@themitch1966

I concur ... however once in a while the voters surprise me and do a good job. Once in a while.

[67sixtyseven67]

@bobbya16 Everything makes this scene

[LFL84]

@azowipe1 I prefer the instrumental as well. Is that the 1988 version only?? Watching it now with the Dylan song and his vocals in the scene--it hits the nail on the head too pronounced. It's trying to tell us what the scene is about now. It feels like a Robert Zemeckis movie ;)

[Gaudiamusigitur]

Thank you
