An awesome band, named 'Miischa,' used the quote where Deanie discusses the poem and made it even more powerful.

Good movie, good band.

[FelixFelisis]

Such a powerful scene, one of my favorites.

[adrianfrodo]

Can you belive this is my first time watching Natalie Wood acting? And I have to say I'm gonna watch some of her movies, I like her a lot in this scene! :)

[shamaho]

Why is Taylor Swift in that class?

[beckigreen]

@shamaho< I thought the same thing!

[InfinityNebula]

Natalie was as american as it gets she is considered an AMERICAN ACTRESS

Everyone has roots somewhere She was never considered a Russian actress Be serious LoL People take things way too seriously

[stayAU]

This is a true story. The playwright heard about it growing up in his hometown.

[suso61]

The splendour is not of the grass but it went it of our youth and of our beauty; this youth and this beauty that do not have to look for desperately because remains hidden like a small and luminous sun that lights the grass on which other young and passionate bodies join lovingly.

[deriter64]

In general Wordsworth gives me a cramp because he's a lousy poet compared to Frost or Tennyson but when Natalie Wood reads his lines he is immortal.

[AQUAMARINETMI]

Exactly where I am at this moment broken hearted

[dralika1982]

Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower, We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind;

Great actress, great scene and great director.

The explanation of the poem is given in the final scene of the film.

This young couple suffers from their bad education. Padrone (Warren Beatty) and madrone (Natalie Wood). But at the end of the film, they seem to have overcome the majority of their problems and as young adults, capable of dealing with the diffulties, that lie ahead, getting strenght from good memories in the past.

Thanks Elia Kazan, Natalie Wood and Warren Beaty.

[gimlileskateur]

@4807avh I really don't agree with you on your interpreattaion. I think the end of the movie just show how their lives are ruined and how the social conventions destroyed their love. So "nothing can bring back the hours of splendor". This is not time for grieves any more but the life has lost its beauty. You have to read the French Book Belle du Seigneur by Albert Cohen wich is also really releavant regarding on the beauty of a youth love !

deeeeeeeeaaaamn, this is such a heavy scene. She's a GREAT actress.

[JoachimderZweite]

She was fluent in Russian. Who would have guessed it.

[rhinovirus156]

@JoachimderZweite no way!

[MrsBethHudson]

@JoachimderZweite She WAS Russian

[dizzy365]

@JoachimderZweite Um, Natalie WAS Russian .

[recovergirl360]

There is a song that uses this clip of Natalie Wood reciting this poem. I can't remember the band -- Do any of you know the name of that band?

[Djeicabe]

Splendorous.

[ninadalin]

I always cry watching this scene.

[RobertM4M]

Brilliant

[theZibi72]

Choć nic nie zdoła już przywrócić wiosennej bujności traw,

nie smućmy się , lecz czerpmy radość z okruchów codzienności,

[hebneh]

It always amuses me to see the teacher looking over her classroom with some exasperation after she asks the question and all the kids try to avoid paying attention to her - and when Natalie is singled out, everyone else is silently relieved that it wasn't them. It's so typical of school.

[TheRandomJenShow]

2:16 the boy to the left (your left) looks like Richard Beymer :] (though it is not)

[8moody1]

This poem is my favorite of all time although I don,t agree with one word of it. I believe in idealism and innocence and I will never change. Peace

[seempleased]
