Brassed off: Wilhelm tell overture

Another great moment of the movie Brassed off: wilhelm tell. The very ill conductor went out of the hospital to join the performance of the brassband

[@miguellima3205]

One of the greatest movies ever. I saw it 15 years ago and still feel the same emotion.❤❤❤

[@seasmacfarlane6418]

The wonderful, wonderful Pete Postlethwaite, God bless him.................. what an actor, what a film! ❤❤

[@MUSICLOVER72]

What a bloody fantastic movie!!

[@reginaldlynsey6107]

As a euphonium player this movie really hit close to home on the references made to everyone calling it a trumpet and the annoyance portrayed in response. Although I’m used to being called a baby tuba which is even more insulting! This movie really hits close to home as an American. Especially as a euphonium player. The only place we are taken seriously is the brass band. This was a damn good movie!

[@petermacleod5710]

And the ‘trumpets’ were cornets

[@jessicamasonsonneborn4864]

I’ve watched this 15 plus times and still get tears

[@artin80]

with a posthumous tribute to Pete Postlewaite, he will live on as a great actor. Great picture, a fan from Holland.

[@ronmyers624]

And that people is THE best version of that epic tune that you will find anywhere. The best, bar none. ❤

[@rockyfjord6982]

Whatever would humankind be without music of this tradition? It makes us better, gives dignity to our sometimes afflicted lives.

[@petermacleod5710]

Which is why mis’lums wont allow music, srt, or besuty

[@kevandsue50]

One of the best films ever made, it deserves recognition. So does Grimethorpe Colliery Band.

[@jpathak6227]

Pete Posthelwaite should have received the Academy Award for his part. Great actors sometimes get neglected and overlooked by the Academy.

[@SonshineLady7]

This portion of the film always brings tears to my eyes. Brave British people speaking out against their government with music. I wish Danny's speech had been included.

[@stevetaylor7403]

With music. And petrol bombs, half-Charlie’s (bricks), railway sleeper bolts. And the rest.

[@44oblong]

@@stevetaylor7403 Absolutely right. It's ironic that if the Government tried to bring back coal mining they'd now face violence from those opposed to it. As for the 'brave British people speaking out against their government', it was a minority of extremely violent left-wing thugs (violence including murder) attempting to overthrow a democratically government that had the full support of the the majority of the nation at the time.

[@cantstoplookin]

I know it's just a movie and the guy playing the conductor probably knows about as much about music as my cat, but I love the job he did. To me it seems like he was "driving" the band more than leading it. He worked very hard to realitically show what it's like in the orchestra pit.

He’s also a very good butler.

Ovations to the British Brass Bands. And at the same a tribute to the mining industry. During this time the same thing happened in the States with the same kind of Administration and decimated the middle class and it has never recovered since.

A superb performance by Grimethorpe - if Carling made colliery bands...The cornet solo was masterful. A couple of years ago a stage version of 'Brassed Off' went on tour and here in Cheltenham the band was Bristol's Flowers Band. Their performance reflected their status as British Champions. Andy Smith on cornet. As good as this clip from the film.

[@kimisthebest1]

Brassed off is a great film about us normal people who try to make the best of what we've got!

[@jonnysouthjersey]

[@chkuentz]

[@1987yorkie]

the speech that danny gives at the end is the original speech that was made by band leader

[@qed456]

That said as a former member of Thoresby Colliery Junior brass band (cornet) I like the film -brings back memories of playing at garden fetes and pubs at Christmas. Life moves on and so does the world -who wants to work down a hole all day anyway -so much rubbish written about its all maggies fault - some people should show some self respect but I doubt the detractors on here are miners (who by and large did have self respect)

[@sirskullington9213]

It’s a governments responsibility to gently move these people on towards a betterfuture. Not to criminalise them. Maggie was a cunt to them and deserves the hate. Horrific woman. Will take generations to get over.

[@chrisbell631]

Other than the fact that this is a great performance and a very entertaining clip from a film, it appeals to me since my mother's family all left Wales(Merthyr Tydfil) in the mid 19th century and came to the US. That alone adds enormously to the appeal of this for me.

music to get the students up next door,that will teach them to have a party

[@JamsBrosOfficial]

This is superb! Probably the best recording out there! After hearing this, the cornet solo at 1:12 became my favorite part. In every other recording, the solo was extremely underwhelming. Here, it's brought out and played so clearly. I also am very much amused by Harry's conducting style. He was by all means taught well :) All the compliments aside, one thing that bugged me was Tara Fitzgerald's acting when she played the flugelhorn. It reminds me of one of Danny's quotes earlier in the movie: "That girl blows flugel like a dream." (Referring to Gloria, played by Fitzgerald) Well, if you dream about a girl who can't play flugel, then you're definitely right.

[@Fcutdlady]

If you watch the film, the man 'conducting' is only a last minute substitute for the 'real' conductor who is seriously ill in hospital. That man escapes from his sick bed to see his band compete in the national finals. The sub is meant to be more enthusiastic than accomplished.
