Life's fine but t'aint easy-The Yearling

In "The Yearling," Gregory Pecks' character explains the,sometimes harsh,facts of life to his son. When I first saw this movie some 30 years ago,I thought the father was totally in the wrong,that there could have been a better way to deal with the deer. But, that's when I was a child.

What exactly did Gregory Peck say at 0:38? I don't know what's wrong with me but I can't understand what he's saying in this sometimes.

he says " Why we nearby give you out." In others words..We almost gave up on seeing you again. I believe that being poor was often equated with being uneducated. The characters in the movie convey a lot of heart though. if you listen with your heart and not your mind, you'll get most of it...maybe...lol.

I've used this line a million times (and I always credit Greg Peck). "Life's fine, powerful fine - but it taint easy" Thanks for this clip! I'd love to see some more. Especially with Donny Gift.

The best way to recognize a lie is when it says "Full Movie".

Born in the early 50's and to watch a movie like this was a natural way of life, we were brought into the World to learn from our parents and most of all respect them. Some years after it was up to us kids to take up a job and support the family, My parents never left us without heat food or a bed to sleep in, it was our duty to try and help out in the home!

As a child, I cried about how the father solved the problem. Then I grew up in the country and saw what happens when people set out to domesticate wild animals. When he quotes the Bible, " When I was a child I spoke as a child," it really gets me. I can look back and see how we are ruled more by emotions as a child. I love this movie.

@Pimblit "Well, we near by give you out". He speaks a dialect, part Everglades, part ??? wherever he came from. And the ET's are near -- this movie came out on December 18, 1946 and the Roswell incident occurred in July, 1947. Although they may have just been the scouts since Scout was the name of Atticus Finch's (Gregory Peck's) daughter in the movie To Kill A Mockingbird. That movie was released on December 25, 1962, 11 months before JFK was assassinated.

I love Gregory Peck- but it is a little overemphasized....so much moral... I could hardly stand the film.

Life was fine-----but nowadays I don't think it's as fine as those long ago days when belief in God and family values were the way of the day-----now these computers and satellite tv and so many things are ruining America's Family values----folks would rather be watching some filth like Family Guy making fun of christians than doing the right things in life--like reading the Bible or praying for a neighbor or whatever---it's a sad thing to see the values slipping away!
