Capturing The Harpies | Jason and the Argonauts | Creature Features

[@mrc1737]

Another fantastic scene from the EPIC movie Jason and the Argonauts! Those Harpies would definitely give another the chills alright!

[@alexbaxthedarkside]

2:30 thats Beautiful animation right there from Ray, how the Harpies show up at the usual time for their meal and Phineas is not there, and they look around for him and see him there, and you see the wings rise up as they notice him. I love it that even though they are Creatures and Monsters of Myth, Ray was able to "Humanize" them, make them seem real, treating them more like actors emoting through their body language than just his figures to be moved back and forth.

[@stevelangstroth5833]

Forget CGI. I'll take Harryhausen's effects, any day!!!

[@alexoblivion9295]

Indeed

[@chrisdodson8118]

'Legend' is an overused term... however, Harryhausen was a bona fide legend - it's simply an inarguable fact. One look at the harpies or the skeleton warriors tells you all you need to know.

I know people praise the stop motion but the music is really what stands out for this me - the slow build up that marries up with the Argonauts and then the xylophone as the Harpies try to escape and then the sudden horn section as they "get to the ropes" and then the triumphant finish at the end.

[@jonnocotton48]

Well said my friend!

[@leestamm3187]

Music by Bernard Herrmann. One of the best movie score composers of all time.

[@grimreaperhenrik]

I know what you mean, its impressive when they bring the ropes

[@jondellar]

Bernard Herrman eliminated the string section entirely for this film, focusing instead on woodwind, horns and mallets.

[@Blisterdude123]

Personally for me it was the detail that the Argonauts specifically turn their spears, when warding off the harpies, showing their intent was to capture and not kill them. To kill the harpies would have invoked the wrath of Zeus, but capturing and rendering them harmless was a clever workaround. And Jason, of course, was known for his wits.

[@trevorbailey2431]

What a brilliant film this is.

[@andreastewart8871]

I love the end bit when harpies are captured and he has the food and drink; he claps his hands, giddy 🤣 always makes me smile 😊❤️ thank you!!

[@andrewlopez411]

Zeus went too far with Phineas. Punishing him with the harpies. Now Phineas gets to enjoy a good meal and they have to eat scraps

[@SouthLondonForever]

Absolutely love what the Argonauts are wearing

[@markgohl2660]

What I always thought funny about this scene is the absolutely HUGE net they just happened to have on the ship. I mean its big enough to enclose a whole temple. Who packed that thinking it might come in handy :) Slight technical issue. According to mythos there where three harpies and you only seem to have got two. Still well done team ......

Gary Raymond is in this. He said it would unwise to go against Zeus. I remember him from The Rat Patrol

[@robertbuys8986]

I love this movie. One thing that bothers me is all these years I only counted 4 times Jason asks for the help of the gods, not 5. Maybe I need to watch it again and really count.

[@sebolddaniel]

This was filmed at Paestum, a Greek archaeological site a couple hours, if that, south of Pompei, that is, assuming it is not a blue screen..

Phineas is like the anti-Job. Instead of continuing to show blind devotion to god despite the horrible treatment he receives, Phineas openly defies Zeus for punishing him so severely and undeservingly.

[@kingbeef66]

I don’t blame Phineas. He made a mistake and went blind for it, but Zeus sending harpies to torment and starve him of food is just plain petty.

[@NO-GAMES]

Zeus may have been A God, but evidently was not THE God, therefore it was God who intervened by sending Jason by Devine intervention. There's only one true God. The Alpha and the Omega.

[@kingbeef66]

[@ethericboy]

The only thing I don"t get is why they waited so long before dropping the net

[@NihilisticSnake]

They had to time it properly

[@cielant]

For argument's sake: they might want to tire out and distract the Harpyies by distress first, so that they don't have enough power to resist their caption in the net.

[@gaz8891]

To give them a bit of their own medicine first, I think!

Comical, how ancient people believed in the gods

[@Frankie2012channel]

Why is it comical? It took mankind thousands of years to build civilizations and have enough understanding of nature, the world, science and other disciplines to understand the world around us. The ancient peoples had no such background to explain ANYTHING in the world. But they did start civilization that built upon itself, generation upon generation until we have people today .... who mindlessly spout inane stuff on the internet, thanks to people who were much smarter who actually BUILT societies and civilizations.....

The harpies look like demons

[@Frankie2012channel]

Harry hausen basically copied a winged homunculus as the design for these harpies. The classical Harpies were originally supposed to be half bird/half woman, usually a great bird with the head of a woman and hands where the claws are. I prefer this incarnation of them since the original appearance of a harpy looks good in books but probably ridiculous in movies.

These are not succubuses. Those were creatures who appeared often time in dreams and reality as desirable women, sucking the life out of those who looked upon them. They are not imps either. Even though imps are in European mythology, they are not necessarily Greek. Aericas, of Greek folklore, are similar to them, but are invisible. The creatures shown here are definitely harpies.
