The ending makes me cry because the war is over and a new life and work begins, both on earth and in heaven for the characters who died throughout the film. :)
This wasn't the end of Randall Flagg. If you read the Dark Tower, Randall Flagg survived. He became the Man In Black that was chased by the Gunslinger...
So, what, vegas and about 300 poeple are now a hole in the ground, jeez, this show was depressing all the way through. But it did do a good job during the superflu spread.
It must have taken you quite some time to (download?)/upload this much material. I had first read The Stand in 1983, & once again a few years after. When the miniseries came on TV in '94, I was aware of it, yet only caught bits & pieces. I just spent part of the last 3 days watching this strait thru. Oh, the nostalgia. Thanks for all of your work putting this together. I did read somewhere that as of this year, they may start shooting a feature film(s) of The Stand...Peace
by the way, thanks for uploading this! I started watching in the evening. now it's 1.30 in the morning. i had no idea it's so long, but i just couldn't stop watching! :D
so what exactly was the point of sending the 4 guys to las vegas, other than to "stand" there (or to hang)? the exact same thing would have happened in the end whether they went or not, except that they would still be alive.
It's funny how in the beginning of the show and for most of it you get such a creepy feeling by it all and here it's really mellowed out at the end of it all, still suspenseful but not like in the beginning when the plague first broke. It's just amazing I think how far it can go from one end of the spectrum to the other.
I loved reading this book and I think it would be nearly impossible to translate every detail, especially the suddle ones that really can only be felt through words, into a movie. That being said, I think they did I pretty good job. Most of the cast was pretty good (Gary Sinise is just perfect as Stu, loved him) and they stuck to the story aside from a few details. I can't figure out why they made Fran's baby a girl instead of a boy though. I liked him being named after her father in the book.
@MsCerealKiller I would have had a huge problem with the movie ending in Stu asking if humanity will ever learn from mistakes, since humanity has been trying very very hard and even harder in very recent times, to correct the mistakes of world power elites. To blame the species as a whole for the inbred ignorance of a financial few is downright retarded far beyond M-O-O-N that spells new world order, if you catch my drift. Long live sovereignty, good luck and God bless us all.
@ciocod That's the biggest joke of it all, what do people always say? 'People who don't learn from their mistakes repeat them' but somehow we go in cycles of repeating the same mistakes over and over and over no matter what happens.
Yeah I never quite got that , just send em to Vegas to get blown up. Maybe mother Abigail should have told them not to go to Vegas but just get a nice far off view of the place and watch God blow it up from a safe distance.
I watched this movie growing up but think about what really happened. They all got together and went to stand up to Flag. Stew didn't make it. Tom didn't gather any intelligence. That one chic went undercover only to sleep with lloyd and die. The 2 guys that did make it to Flag died in the explosion. What did they really accomplish? Mother blew up the bomb. Great movie though.
@pbs0713 I believe the 4 were chosen to go because God was punishing those in the committee for Pride - like Mother said to Fran in her dream. They were the only ones not killed by Harold. Fran lost Stu (for a while), Stu got his leg broke and almost died, Tom ended up saving Stu's life, the 2 who died in the explosion allowed all of those in Vegas to congregate next to the a-bomb.
Thank you very much for posting all of this. I really appreciate it a lot. This is one of my all-time favorites and I have not watched it in years. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well it was alright ,but i dont get the fuss ,,so god had a plan along but put them all through that to get rid of all the scum on the planet,and usher in his new world order lol
I love these films... you know that Marvel is publishing (maybe alredy published all) the story of the entrie The Stand books....but based on the books and not on these films (so the characters are drawn differently, and the story is slightly different at some point, guess it's more faithful to the books this way)
I do wish they would re-do this, I hate that did this as a made for tv movie, it had so much more potential, but then again the way modern movies are going I don't know if it'd be any good but it's worth a shot.
@knuckles593 ...true dat...maybe if the producers took a few hits of acid b4 they went into work....maybe movies today wouldnt suck a bag of dicks! (thank you Dee Reynolds)
Although this adaptions budget was quit up to snuff . King really captures the essence of Americans who are generally an unconventionally very Christian devote people . At least the have been throughout history. For king God had to be put in the story. Because he's writing an apocalyptic novel which has an anti christ figure . What are you gonna do leave God out. But clearly King is encapsulating the essence of the Bible Belt's fixation on Armageddon . Also love his pop/ Class rock references
really good movie ty for the uppload, i originally saw the movie when i was ten, so i really appreciate you uploading it, i was trying to find it on the internet for free so im glad u posted this, ty good sir.
I wonder where the residents of boulder got all their food? If over 10'000 people were there then all the food would be gone in a matter of days, even the stuff from the surrounding towns. Then anarchy. King made no mention of farming or food cultivation.
@gringolazlo They mentioned in the book about going to the supermarkets for the non-perishables first. That would be the canned foods, rice, beans, pasta, etc...
They would eventually have to start farming though. The people would also have gone for the existing farms and orchards.
realy enjoyed that thankyou, i saw the message at the beggining, if peaple are going to complain they should uplaod it themselfs, buy the film or read the book! truly brilliant film, i first saw this when i was about 11, dad put it on for the whole family, me and my bro couldnt believe our luck being able to stay up so late to watch it, thanks again.
Not sure why they changed the gender of Fran's kid.
This ending's more optomistic than the book's, which has Fran responding, "I don't know," to Stu's question, followed, of course, by the epilogue with Randall Flagg resurfacing to find another group of followers to manipulate. My guess that was a network mandate to have a wholy upbeat ending, instead of King's ambiguous finale.
thank you for the time it took to load these! this is one of King's better stories. I love how he has an appearance in all his movies :)
you guys who have read the dark tower series, have you also read his other books? the characters are in them all, and the DT series brings it all together. duma key is excellent!
I love King's novels, he's so talented that I always get a little depressed after I finish his books. But it's always a risk to get fond of his characters :c When I was reading "The Stand" I kept thinking; "Please, Mr. King, do not kill Larry. Or Glen. Or Nick. Or Tom. Or Stu. But if you DO have to kill one of them, let it be Stu. Fran can't get everything she wants, it's not fair because she whines" :D Aaaand look what happened... Well, at least he saved Tom!
Love the book, did not like this miniseries. It doesn't do the novel justice, and everything feels hyperaccelerated. Thank you for posting it, though. Maybe people will watch this and give the book a read. The book is far far superior.
auronguy: Yeah, I've been reading the DT books since I was a teenager and the integrity of the characters (and who they choose to play them) would be paramount. If SK were to involve himself deeply in the project, as he feels the DT books are the lynchpin of all of his books, I think that we'll be pleasantly surprised. For me, they are the best of his books and he needs to get them out there somehow.
no matter what i do starting at about 4 minutes in i just start bawling like a baby. i've easily seen this movie 100 times and it always ends the same-me crying my eyes out.
Thanks so much for uploading this for everyone to enjoy! It's one of my favourite SK novels and I enjoyed watching it as much this time as the first time I saw it years ago! Now, if SK could make the Dark Tower Series into a series, that would be truly exceptional!
@shaych12 I'm really scared of the idea of a dark tower miniseries. I was totally immersed in the Dark Tower for years, and I'd have a tough time dealing with anybody but Clint Eastwood playing the Gunslinger (who is now too old for that part by far)
Ferrer (who plays Lloyd) would have made a better Randall Flagg - he's a good actor. The transformation scenes were not scary especially when Flagg throws a tantrum.
Interesting, that after a short while watching, one does't see the letters in the middle of the scree anymore!
BTW: this happy-ending really alters the idea of the book, as in the book, the evil came right back in some other place, I think it was some kind of god for a tribe on an island or something like that (it's quite a while ago that I read the book- and when I read it, I jumped over some passages, as it was sometimes a little bit... boring, to be honest).
I had heard if the movie since I read The Stand many years ago. I have re-read it often, always finding a new perspective or some nuiance I'd missed before. This is my first watch of the movie, and I find it doesn't do the book justice, although it is an excellent film. Thank you for uploading, we all appreciate it.
It was amazing in the early,mid 90s when they aired this over 3 maybe 4 nights..nowadays the networks would not even consider it..also Stve King's The Langgoliers'..the little entities that chase you and actually 'eat' time and space..the people are in an airplane the entire time..check it!
Thank you for the time it took you to upload this Brunette427, Ive been wanting to see this again for some time. Maybe when I get more savvy I'll upload the audiobook.
I always enjoyed this book, and I'm agnostic. Its a story non the less, whether you believe in god or not is irrelevant. There were so many themes that if all you picked up was the spiritual message, you need to read it again. So push the preaching back up the asses for which it came already.
@Psychowilly You're certainly entitled to your views at this time as whether you believe anything is your gain or loss and that may be sad to some but that's your business. But the fact that you show uncalled for nastiness towards someone who I agree should keep those comments to themselves shows that she may be pushy and gives credence to how many see some spiritual people, but you also give play right into many's thoughts about agnostics so you are both a wash.
A lot of the characters wrestle with the theology as well. They come to accept god at the end because of all that they have been through. Obviously an experience like that would completely change you. I have to say the ending is one of the best Stephen King has done. He has a tendency to write a fantastic book and build it up and then end it with a spider or something.
What a fantastic story. Well adapted to the screen. Well done Brunette, thanks for sharing!!! I ordered the dvd just to have, S. King owes you one. Thanks again!!
If you don't believe in God and that really spoils this book for you, I have two words: Grow Up. It wasn't a problem for me since this is a really well done story and God is a part of it. It seems like alot of you are offended by God, which is immature. Put in context: Are you kids offended by Percy Jackson?
@Domzdream Nope I am not gonna try you, I believe you. I guess it just struck a cord with me. Everyone is entitled to thier beliefs, and you to yours, it was wrong of me to comment the way I did. And for you a smile =) and an apology. Take care and thank you for your reply
@Domzdream He says her enjoy millions of times a day around the world to people, but I would never say anything is silly when we don't have the intellect to know why he does what and when he does those things. It would be like a 5 year old saying that something is silly that his father does. We can't possible have his thoughts.
@Domzdream How else can your sin be paid for if it was not paid for by a God who became one of you? The God of the Universe is a holy and righteous judge and those who have sinned against him have to put their faith (believe) that Jesus died to pay the penalty for sin. Romans 3:24 says we are justified (declared righteous before God) by faith apart from works. Only Christ can save a person who has sinned before God. It makes a lot of sense when you really stop to think about it.
@vanmoody You are starting with the presumption that there is such a thing as "sin" in the first place. The concept in and of itself is a religious institution.
@jjobie You believe in sin too. Don't you do things that are against your own conscience? Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever stolen something, even something small? Have you ever not loved God with your whole heart? Friend, I bet you have broken your own rules, not just God's. There are times when we are not good people. We do what we know is wrong. That is sin. We sin against God, ourselves, and each other. It's not an institution, it's a reality.
@vanmoody And yet, across different societies, different cultures, and different eras, the concept of 'right' and 'wrong' is constantly changing. What is considered Wrong in one place by one people at one time can be considered Right in another place by another people at another time. Furthermore, if we go by the textbook definition of Sin, i.e. violation of a moral code handed down by divine law, then there are plenty of people who do not believe in sin, to whom no such divine law exists.
@jjobie Isn't this why we need a written standard? What if our society said that it's ok to put old people to sleep because they have lived their days and are a drain on society? It's good to have an objective standard that doesn't change according the whims of people. I would point out that there are plenty of moral codes that all people hold to. Murder,cheating,adultery, stealing, are considered wrong by the vast majority of people on this planet. So there is a standard on the heart of man.
Very Good Adaptation, I missed the part at the end when RF appears on a beach and makes his final smile but this is part of the extended version, not from the original book
The Stand is one of the great novels of fiction and far suppasses anything King did, i'm annoyed a blockbuster has'nt been produced as the story is gold for Hollywood. Perhaps the problem with sticking a 1500 page novel into a short film is it's implausable, the length of the novel ironically is a strength as your with the characters for long periods of time i.e. Stuart in the gravel pit and connect with the characters more.
The movie totally isolates you unless you are a 100% beliver. I guess the "Stand" is about just standing there letting god do everything. The plot is full of apparitions, telepathy, angels, devils, psychokinesis, and church. Ughh.
I'm not really sure. I just did a report on him for English 102 and I never saw anything that said if R.F. meant anything to him. The Stand is the first book I've read from him. Are there any more R.F.'s in his books?
Well, all in all not bad. Everyone seems to agree on that, although I seem to be the only person who thinks a lot of the music sounds like crappy 80's porn music. I didn't even know that they made a movie/miniseries out of this, until like.. a week ago. I guess cuz I was only 7 when it came out on tv. Molly Ringwald should have retired back in the 80's, just like the porn music. Either way, thanks for the upload, watermarks and all. I can only imagine how much of a pain it was. =)
Many thanks for spending all that time uploading this movie, been wanting to see the film again for ages. Much apreciated, it has been an nice escape after a bad day at work.
No one ever said who the father was. Even the mother herself never said who he was. Maybe it was Jess, maybe it was someone else. Nothing was said definitively. I'm just making a statement. What is your question?
@FoodOrFail defenitily jess did u read the book? apparently not, then again maybe even fran doesnt know, i mean she is kind of a whore...o wait im thinking of molly ringwald
i didn't totally get the ending of the book, where there was a man on an island named russell faraway who had a bunch of people worshiping him and kissing his feet where he promised them good things. it went back in time to the 70's as the initial story was in 1990. i guess this man faraway was the walkin dude with a different name.
Over the last 20 years, I've read this book cover-to-cover four times. I don't feel like I'm reading a story so much as visiting old friends. I saw this mini-series when it first appeared on TV; I knew it couldn't compare to the book and I was right. But even being 50% as good as the book means that it is wonderful.
Thank you brunette427, thank you so much for all the effort you put out to share this with us!
And I agree with Ryan's comment below; the watermark disappeared quick enough.
The movie is never as good as the book. Of course, it's been a very long time since I read the book. I'm going to have to read it again since I did enjoy the movie...... Thank you brunette427 for uploading this movie and no, I didn't mind the words one bit! =)
The baby was a boy in the book, named Peter after Fran's father. Peter Goldsmith Redman I think it was.... this movie was dumb as shit but it had its moments as well. Thanks for uploading it though.
What a great way to spend a day! Thanks for the upload. The watermark disappeared as I got into it. I only noticed it when I chose to, if that makes any sense.
Brunette427 i loved this when i first saw it and still love it now,thanks so much for uploading it,it might not be exactly accurate to the book but what movie is?? even the lord of the rings trilogy left out characters like tom bombadil so i for one am glad they made
Book Spoiler ***the ending Flagg washes up on a beach of a deserted island and is worshipped by the primitive tribe living there.***
And if you want to criticize the plot holes please try to write a better story than this one.

Love the book, did not like this miniseries. It doesn't do the novel justice, and everything feels hyperaccelerated. Thank you for posting it, though. Maybe people will watch this and give the book a read. The book is far far superior.

auronguy: Yeah, I've been reading the DT books since I was a teenager and the integrity of the characters (and who they choose to play them) would be paramount. If SK were to involve himself deeply in the project, as he feels the DT books are the lynchpin of all of his books, I think that we'll be pleasantly surprised. For me, they are the best of his books and he needs to get them out there somehow.

@shaych12 I'm really scared of the idea of a dark tower miniseries. I was totally immersed in the Dark Tower for years, and I'd have a tough time dealing with anybody but Clint Eastwood playing the Gunslinger (who is now too old for that part by far)

Ferrer (who plays Lloyd) would have made a better Randall Flagg - he's a good actor. The transformation scenes were not scary especially when Flagg throws a tantrum.

Interesting, that after a short while watching, one does't see the letters in the middle of the scree anymore!
BTW: this happy-ending really alters the idea of the book, as in the book, the evil came right back in some other place, I think it was some kind of god for a tribe on an island or something like that (it's quite a while ago that I read the book- and when I read it, I jumped over some passages, as it was sometimes a little bit... boring, to be honest).

I always enjoyed this book, and I'm agnostic. Its a story non the less, whether you believe in god or not is irrelevant. There were so many themes that if all you picked up was the spiritual message, you need to read it again. So push the preaching back up the asses for which it came already.

@Psychowilly You're certainly entitled to your views at this time as whether you believe anything is your gain or loss and that may be sad to some but that's your business. But the fact that you show uncalled for nastiness towards someone who I agree should keep those comments to themselves shows that she may be pushy and gives credence to how many see some spiritual people, but you also give play right into many's thoughts about agnostics so you are both a wash.

A lot of the characters wrestle with the theology as well. They come to accept god at the end because of all that they have been through. Obviously an experience like that would completely change you. I have to say the ending is one of the best Stephen King has done. He has a tendency to write a fantastic book and build it up and then end it with a spider or something.

If you don't believe in God and that really spoils this book for you, I have two words: Grow Up. It wasn't a problem for me since this is a really well done story and God is a part of it. It seems like alot of you are offended by God, which is immature. Put in context: Are you kids offended by Percy Jackson?

Domzdream 1 year ago
@Domzdream How else can your sin be paid for if it was not paid for by a God who became one of you? The God of the Universe is a holy and righteous judge and those who have sinned against him have to put their faith (believe) that Jesus died to pay the penalty for sin. Romans 3:24 says we are justified (declared righteous before God) by faith apart from works. Only Christ can save a person who has sinned before God. It makes a lot of sense when you really stop to think about it.

@vanmoody You are starting with the presumption that there is such a thing as "sin" in the first place. The concept in and of itself is a religious institution.

@jjobie You believe in sin too. Don't you do things that are against your own conscience? Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever stolen something, even something small? Have you ever not loved God with your whole heart? Friend, I bet you have broken your own rules, not just God's. There are times when we are not good people. We do what we know is wrong. That is sin. We sin against God, ourselves, and each other. It's not an institution, it's a reality.
vanmoody 1 year ago
@vanmoody And yet, across different societies, different cultures, and different eras, the concept of 'right' and 'wrong' is constantly changing. What is considered Wrong in one place by one people at one time can be considered Right in another place by another people at another time. Furthermore, if we go by the textbook definition of Sin, i.e. violation of a moral code handed down by divine law, then there are plenty of people who do not believe in sin, to whom no such divine law exists.
jjobie 1 year ago
@jjobie Isn't this why we need a written standard? What if our society said that it's ok to put old people to sleep because they have lived their days and are a drain on society? It's good to have an objective standard that doesn't change according the whims of people. I would point out that there are plenty of moral codes that all people hold to. Murder,cheating,adultery, stealing, are considered wrong by the vast majority of people on this planet. So there is a standard on the heart of man.

The Stand is one of the great novels of fiction and far suppasses anything King did, i'm annoyed a blockbuster has'nt been produced as the story is gold for Hollywood. Perhaps the problem with sticking a 1500 page novel into a short film is it's implausable, the length of the novel ironically is a strength as your with the characters for long periods of time i.e. Stuart in the gravel pit and connect with the characters more.

The movie totally isolates you unless you are a 100% beliver. I guess the "Stand" is about just standing there letting god do everything. The plot is full of apparitions, telepathy, angels, devils, psychokinesis, and church. Ughh.

I didn't even know that they made a movie/miniseries out of this, until like.. a week ago. I guess cuz I was only 7 when it came out on tv. Molly Ringwald should have retired back in the 80's, just like the porn music. Either way, thanks for the upload, watermarks and all. I can only imagine how much of a pain it was. =)

I saw this mini-series when it first appeared on TV; I knew it couldn't compare to the book and I was right. But even being 50% as good as the book means that it is wonderful.
