Children of a Lesser God

[miranda75gr]

I like the part where she asks him what music is and he tries to describe it but I can't find that on youtube. any help????

[NinetoPhive]

@miranda75gr I don't know if you found it yet, but if you search "children of a lesser god bach concerto for 2 violins" you will find it.

[mrblueface07]

they filmed the school scenes at my school. its a boarding school in new brunswick

[jfulbright]

You know, if she couldn't walk, why would he not want to watch the Olympics in front of her. If she were colorblind, would he avoid the color green? I LOVE this film, but his character is off in his guilt. I can't sing, but if my husband wanted to, I'd let him watch "American Idol."

[kevinkahosgay]

@jfulbright

your an idiot.

[greensquareferret]

i know how he feels, even when im not around the Deaf, i get the funniest feeling when i start to enjoy music to much...it really sick.

[KarthikSoun]

@greensquareferret why is that a wrong thing? your just appreciative of what u have and u should be.

[Devikattack]

@greensquareferret

Many deaf people enjoy music. They often say they can feel the music through vibrations, which has been scientifically proven. In fact, Marlee Matlin herself says in her memoir ("I'll Scream Later") that she loves music, particularly Billy Joel.

[punchsnakeman]

I love her is because she looks just like my cousin,she looks related to me.

[philfeerich]

Sorry people. Dont have a great lot of experience of deaf people,signing etc but, this fat,old,offshore-engineer has come across this by accident and been reminded?...

Why should this be my favourite Love movie of all time?

Is the acting that good that it's burned into my memory forever?

[Jefgg]

I am a hearing person who signs. Holy crap. John Hurt signs just like a hearing person who is a little rusty.

[jfulbright]

He's being a dick, IMO. Yes, hear music, but don't make it about HER!

[cymbeli]

@jfulbright He's not the whole movie is about their bonding struggle...he wants to share everything with her because he loves her so much.

[tamonettX500]

@jfulbright I don't think so...I know and love to death a deaf man, and it hurts that he will never know the music, of any kind :(

[hemet92544]

no captions, DUMB !!!!  and its god, not God. man, at least know how to write.

[slvgdvg]

Where is the part where they teach them to swear or she swims naked? Those are the only good parts I remember haha

[accordlord7]

The guy who directed this is my Film teacher!!! Had no idea!

[pilotman1009]

my best friend Mason Marks's Grandpa is the director of this film. Mark Medoff i think his name is.

[slvgdvg]

Does he like deaf jokes?

[accordlord7]

I have no Idea, I have him for class tomorrow, maybe I'll make one?

[valiant1940]

Bigmisterbig1- Yes I have to agree with you.

This is a good movie. I saw it recently again. Its been several years since i saw it & its still good.

[valiant1940]

I guess he said he cant enjoy it because she cannot enjoy something simple as the music.

Is he really being selfish?

[BigMisterBig1]

As I said to jfulbright, I think he's motivated by love. He wants to share who he is & what he likes but realizes he can't. It would be the same as if he were enjoying a sunset without her there.

[jfulbright]

He's being kind of a jerk! Just because she can't enjoy the music doesn't mean the situation is bad...that's like a guy who like's to fish blaming his wife for being a vegan.

[choppedlogic]

@jfulbright I definitely agree he can be a jerk, especially when he's playing savior of the world.

However the comparison you make is not all that analogous. The wife in your analogy would still have the ability, if not the desire, to taste fish.

[BigMisterBig1]

Wow, I didn't see it that way at all. He's falling in love with her and can't enjoy the music because she's so much a part of his life now.

His sadness comes from the desire to share.

[Siemianowicee]

2:30 I can't because you can't is a bit stupid, it is the same as I won't do a particular thing and neither will you. . She was smoking at the time which is a transmission to him of nicotine poisoning. . Had she gone outside for a smoke he would rather have enjoyed the music. . Much like "I'll do oral sex on you if (and only if) you do it on me in return". . The world is full of options and choices and they are all the same; this sceen is one of folk at a develpomental stage. Cheers.

[kattecorn]

They were fucking when this was being shot...

[nimadee]

Its true though.

They were.

[kattecorn]

what? they were! read her biography, "I'll Scream Later"

God, people, don't hate without kmnowing what you're talking about...

[Siemianowicee]

@kattecorn Any proof?

[kattecorn]

Um, yes, actually.

It's called Marlee Matlin's AUTOBIOGRAPHY. It's called "I'll Scream Later," and in it, she details her relationship with William Hurt. They were involved in a sexual relationship by a few months into filming.

Proof enough for you?

[Siemianowicee]

@kattecorn Dear kattecorn, Thanks for your response. . What happend to your original comment, now deleted? . Bit too rude perhaps? Had you been in a similar relationship; did you nearly get caught? . . Cheers. from, del-boy.

[kattecorn]

um, no...im 14...O.O

And I didn't MEAN to delete it, I didn't freaking remember POSTING it and I wanted to see what all the angry replies were about, but I accidentally clicked delete because I was expecting there to be something that said "show." Happy?

[Siemianowicee]

Dear kattecorn,

Thanks for your response.

.

I too can't remember what you wrote.

I don't think my original response to your comment was angry -I never get angry!

.

Cheers.

from,

del-boy.

[helloaicrag]

what is the name of this song? i know it's bach but i don't know the name. thanks.

[SounthRecords]

This is the second movement from Bach's double violin concerto, the largo ma non tanto (BWV 1043).

It's definitely one of the most wonderful compositions ever created.

[thetevinator]

Bach's Double Concerto in D Minor for Violins.

[broadwaymelody33]

Hehe...I can understand everything they're signing =D

[kattecorn]

im so jealous! i want to learn to sing!

[poppylv21]

still a great film

[PinkLibra9]

Yu nut !!!!!!! Why rude? She good actress ever !

[debudemokimochii]

I am going deaf. I will lose my hearing completely soon.  There are medical fixes, but I cannot afford them. I guess I better learn sign language soon. If you can help, give me a ring.

[pinz2022]

I love the expression on her face at the end of this scene. She looks so pissed. "Why the hell is he dumping this s**t me?" There was nothing wrong with her. It was Bill Hurt's holier-than-thou character that had the problem.

[pietka70]

the best i've ever seen

[fartlessbear7]

That is a great universal scene that will never aged.

[jenniferbabe]

Like the Way She Painted Her Toenails different colors when pregnant , that was really Cute Hot , oh Dear God LOVE Her Always in All Ways , Oh All She So Completely My LOVE to me ....

[jenniferbabe]

oh She is So Beautiful Cute (always had a Crush on Her) , She So Cute Delicious Yum Yummy LOVE , OH ALL YUMMY CUTIE FROM CUTIE TIP OF HEAD/NOSE TO TOES AND ALL IN BETWEEN , OMG SUCH CUTIENESS AND CUTIE VOICE LOVE , OH LOVE

[juliG]

can anybody post the entire movie please!!! i want to see it!!!

[IrishBarFight]

This is such a phenomenal movie. and the exact reason why I decided to learn sign language.

[goodman854]

my mom was actually in this movie not a big part tho. I live in saint john NB were it was being filmed, wasn't born yet of course.

[jfulbright]

O-B-S-C-U-R-E is easy enough to sign. How long will it take us to incorporate differences into our lifestyles?

[jfulbright]

"How the hell would you sign 'obscure'?"

Wouldn't that be O-B-S-C-U-R-E? I can sign that, and I haven't got a clue about ASL.

Twenty-something years is a long time. We've come a long way, haven't we?

[HaShomeret]

when i watch that, its like watching a horror movie, i just want to scream "dont do it man!"

[allowmetojackyou]

please post the whole film. Totally dying to see it and I can't find it at any video store.

[montyfuzzy]

Marlee Matlin is incredibly beautiful. she is hot! i think she looks a bit like tina fey, especially near the end of this clip.

[caitie04]

yea she does look like tina fey at the end of the clip...marlee is awesome

[kblixt]

Damn right.

[kblixt]

Since the first time I saw this movie I have had a crush on Marlee.

[wsiklogfh]

same thing with me dude, she's one beautiful woman, isn't she?

[mortimerbequiet]

Gorgeous :) And she gets even more beautiful every time I see her. I LOVE her in The L Word.

[interlexio]

Marlee is the youngest actress to won an Oscar for best actres!! increible actacion!!

[david2008long]

your right because tatum o neal won for best supporting actress for paper moon

[interlexio]

an she was 10, isn't she?

[JRRDPR]

I wish their were more movies about the real struggle of one person,not about the spoiled girls and boys that only worry about getting laid,or drunk or just simply leave off their parents.I live near an institute for the hearing imparied and blind and their day to day life is not a soap opera or the next "Hollywood" glamour.Thanks for uploading this beauty of work.

[biteyourthumbsoff]

Amen. I completely agree with you. I am 22 and just saw this movie for the first time last night and I can honestly say that NO movies like this are made anymore. Really heavy, beautiful stuff.

[wsiklogfh]

right on!! i have seen this movie over a dozen times and i still can't get enough of it. this movie is so incredible, i believe that marlee matlin's greatness and acting prowess is surpassed only her beauty. this movie has influenced me so much that i have began to learn the sign lanquage.

[neptunecello]

@JRRDPR Couldn't agree with you more.

[jenniferbabe]

She is Most Beautiful , i lose , never touched , i very good looking bit younger than Her , oh well of tiny "earth" , so near , yet of space , so far , She "married" know , hey if Mormons can have more than one wife , how come She can't have more than one husband LOL , sarcasm on ideology , the curse of my Brown Prof. said 164 IQ , science major white male LOL

[jenniferbabe]

i's male know Marlee, had many times lost hearing in left ear from "doc" defect caused, but Doctor at Brown when at school said needed to protect now i hear in stereo , so much different , i cry for Her .... We Live

[jenniferbabe]
