The Browning Version-Taplow's gift

[musicmusing]

There is no sadder scene in the history of films.

[1986ant1986]

I watched that film for the first time today. Great acting. Need to watch the origional now. This has gone on to my favourates list.

This scene, more than any other, in any film, moved me more than I can say. I can't praise both actors enough for such a moving portrayal of their respective roles

[hernanm6]

"Forgive me, Taplow..." ¡Incredible and emotional performance from Albert Finney!!!

[franckylime]

i like this version better over the original. this is more cinematic and moving. and finney is perfect.

[IBeGodly]

I, too, cried when I saw this. 

[HighNortherner]

Michael Redgrave mastered this scene in Anthony Asquith's 1951 version--the original. No disrespect to Mr. Finney ... I'm just sayin'...

[josepablobolanos]

I watched both versions. I find Finney's portrayal of a bitter, burnt-out and tormented professor much more appealing than Asquith's original one. My mother was a caring but very strict Languages teacher and something about his acting reminds me of her. I don't think the first one is "better". They are just different approaches to this character...

[ambrogiofogar]

yes is true

[sarahknowstheanswer]

[maxigil70]

Anyone knows the name of the movie?

Many thanks

[j0andc0]

Yes it was a good film and certainly gets exactly what it deserves, no more, and most certainly no less.

[Westyrulz]

ha,ha,ha,yes rather!!

[Westyrulz]

Is this movie better then the 1950's one?

[mort367]

I think both versions are excellent. For me, I would give Michael Redgrave a slight edge over Albert Finney, for depth of portrayal.

[40704400]

@Westyrulz yes, in on simply unadultrated word

[Cem0305]

One of the greats!

[josepablobolanos]

Extraordinary acting... As a young educator, I was very impressed and moved by this film... Bravo, Albert Finney, bravo!

[emersus10]

excellent film ... where we emphasize the values we teach our teachers. What I would like to know is the phrase that he wrote in Latin (and translation) that gives so much emphasis Taplow.

[Parrotguy1999]

The phrase he wrote is "God from afar looks graciously upon a gentle master".

[yekdeli]

@emersus10 It is from the Greek...not Latin...Aeschylus' Agamemnon, but Parrotguy1999 has the English of it. A moving scene, and moving words.

[reollest]
