This part of the film gives me chills every time...

[@benjamintaylor3878]

101m4n I’m obsessed with this film

[@trumpetbwf12]

They should have him just do the entire poem! I'd buy that in a heart beat!

[@mranderson4580]

I want this to be played at my funeral

[@adrianzajzer]

Brandon Czech im an alcoholic and im supporting myself by this poem

[@mranderson4580]

+Adrian Zajzer keep supporting yourself you're doing a good job :)

[@NoNamenoonehere]

+Brandon Czech Play it Now and Rage against the dying of the Light,RAGE and RAGE!!!

[@Ramenoth]

+Adrian Zajzer Leaving alcohol behind is one greatest things you'll ever do, a heartfelt hug to you, you see you'll never need it again.

[@VioletIsBulletproof]

Oh my god. Ur brilliant. This is my favorite poem..and it would sooo be perfect. Just straight up love how he says it, love the poem, and love the song and feeling of it overall...thats it..must put it in fake will until I get a real one...>.>

[@doseofnews9497]

this poem is a masterpiece and the music fits perfectly well; this poem is exceptionally powerful and gives me chills

[@WarHammer654]

The movie was a masterpiece itself

[@Nofarewell]

Michael Caine should release a standalone version of the whole poem. His delivery especially for this piece is just immense

[@andew8922]

Gives me goosebumps all the time

[@bkreativepainting7461]

AndЯew JC theres just something about it, isnt there, makes me think of amazing things.....impossible things

[@emirhanburul4400]

Ben quemp Nothing is impossible friend! :)

[@bkreativepainting7461]

i dnno, theres this pretty banging chick who lives me near, the husband loves her to death and i know hed never cheat, and shes the same i know shed never cheat even when theyre both drunk, id say my chances of fucking her under any circumstances in the next 2 days (this weekend) are pretty impossible

[@BigCybran]

+Ben quemp There is a difference between impossible and very unlikely, my friend ;)

[@konoko196]

AndЯew JC this speech was probably the best thing about the movie

[@WalterUnglaub]

This is honestly the version that should have been on the special edition soundtrack, not the one by the rest of the cast.

[@bernardelsse847]

couldn't agree more. The cast version is terrible.

[@virajmali1582]

Exactly. Michael Caine's voice has nailed it. Cannot imagine any other version to be so amazing.

[@mnomadvfx]

@@virajmali1582 The Richard Burton version is the best I have heard, and appropo as he is also Welsh as Dylan Thomas who wrote this poem. That being said I was beyond baffled that the far inferior and muddled multi cast recital is on the Interstellar soundtrack instead of the Caine recital from the film itself.

[@bkreativepainting7461]

i could listen to this over and over again and still love it, ive listened to it 30 times on repeat now and it hasnt lost its effect

[@jordanthomas206]

It’s always amazing to see how much influence Dylan Thomas has spread around the world with some of his amazing poems, I always kick myself about the fact I haven’t visited his home in Swansea that’s like a 10 minute drive away. Truly a great poet and pride to Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Gigatony74]

this poem is fucking powerfull even without music behind

[@Dargies]

Thanks for uploading this. I’m struggling with health problems and this is really helping me. I’m just a stranger but thank you 🙏🏾. I needed these words from this man in his voice.

[@MarsTheDoomer]

I listen to this everyday, it keeps me focused and will to actually get up and do something. Take this video as a wake up call do do something with your life. If you just live to eventually die, then life is pointless. Rage against that feeling of weakness and uselessness.

[@Kannnas]

Thanks for the great quality

[@pharaohimhotep4676]

One of the most beautiful poems ever made.

[@slaughterchainsaw]

it's funny how Michael Caine's voice can calm me down so much, even if it says the exact opposite

[@13anomalous16]

Thank you sooooo much for uploading this in perfect quality. This was one of my favorite scenes just because of how mesmerizing the view and the poem were together.

[@CRIZA0099]

Do not go gentle into that good night , old age should burn and rave at close of day Rage, rage, against the dying of the light Though wise men at their end know dark is right, because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night 🌌🌠 Rage , rage , against the dying of the light🚀

[@asbestosfish_]

this is fear, primordial and raw, it speaks to our very bones.

[@youraveragegrunt72502]

If this song isnt played at my funeral, im not dying

[@luisbennett4478]

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rage at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

[@dlucco]

And you, my father, there on the sad height, curse, bless me now with your fierce tears I pray, do not go gentle after that good night rage, rage against the dying of the light

[@jonathancroft828]

This is cinematic perfection.

[@871mumu]

wow dude how did u get this in such good quality and thank you so much for uploading cheers

[@ebm9732]

I can't get over Micheal Caine retelling this poem, he needs to recite the entire poem

[@steyningtowncfc7890]

brilliant poem, brilliant film, brilliant Caine

[@joeyrozic1100]

The best of humanity is here, 90% at least. ;)

[@juanfutureguy]

best voice by far

[@ElTheJono]

inspirational

[@lunitariaprime]

That time when Dylan Thomas launched us into space on the most important mission that had ever been flown - as read by Michael Caine. :D

[@jenniferhardin8442]

Great performance

[@loveharrydaily]

this is so climactic.

[@AdventurerBatman]

If only Michael read the full poem. Still an amazing poem though.

[@kil4fun677]

Frankie!!!

[@DudeNope]

There is my explanation for this poem: After I've listened to the whole poem read by the cast I know it's about death but these particular lines could have a different understanding. Remember the part at the beginning of the movie where they teach kids that the moon landings were fake just to make them less likely to chease knowledge? You could think that these lines are about standing up against this kind of obscurantism. The LIGHT means KNOWLEDGE and Goodninght means Blissful ignorance...

[@Nuvendil]

DudeNope or you could go back to the original text and find the poem was written to tell the poets father not to "be at leace" or be "calm" or have "hope" facing death, but rather to say "eff that noise, be pissed and shake your fist at death and scrape every last breath possible out of this life you can!" Looking at this, the real meaning of the poem, you can now look at how it relates to the characters Nolan chose to connect to this poem: Mann and the professor. Now in a broader sense this relates to the whole film (launching this insane plan rather than accepting earth's death), but Mann and the professor embody this sentiment: they are raging against the night, doing whatever it takes to scrape out some semblance of existence for humanity - and in the case of Mann, himself - in bitter defiance of death. They stand in stark contrast to Brand, Cooper, Murph, and co who extole love, hope, and risk everything on the off chance they can save lives rather than just preserve human existence. Nolan made this contrast quite intentionally.

Me: "It's time for bed." My toddler:

[@kristynadostalova4359]

Masterpiece

[@michellelightwood-jones7871]

Richard Burton's rendition of this is even better.

[@A7Xanthony]

"Rage..rage..." "we are suppose to destroy the Siths,not join them!"

[@SuperTf2rocks]

This literally makes all my hairs on my body stand right up. Spooky e.e

[@samarium1934]

as soon as I read your comment the hair on my arms stood straight up

[@moonlitmistral]

Michael Caine = My cocaine LOL

[@TheTriquetraYT]

Though wise men at their end know dark is right, 👍🏻

[@bizarrebongos685]

Death is unpreventable.

[@drakemott1123]

first time ive ever lifted outside of my home gym, ive always been the strongest guy i know but i guess some guy here can squat 858 in sleeves! this video make me feel better i will become stronger

[@GhSt-vl5sq]

Excellent

[@CooperHayes0795]

this reminds me of the mw2 moment when ur in space on a sattelite and get nuked

[@gwgaming8405]

A fanmade fallout dust trailer brought me here

[@NCR_RangerRUS]

Lmao me too

[@dagoninfinite]

Is this about old age dementia?

[@huanquatro]

Eh. The actual poem is much longer and deeper than what is presented here. Sadly, not all of it has been recorded with Michael Caine.

[@lifevideos4617]

the link is broken the copy was discontinued as of 2016

[@wetfoodinthesink6173]

Im kinda sorry for this stupid question but....what does this mean? Does it mean that you should work hard at trying to get the things you want/need? :0

[@wetfoodinthesink6173]

or that you should never give up?

[@RichardXing]

+Robin :D You pretty much got it! It's talking about how we should fight against death although we all know that it's inevitable. In other words, do not give up but instead do everything we can to live.

[@seanrodgers1869]

+Robin :D No it means when you think your done or over your not. Think about what you want and go get it and push over anythng that stands in your way

[@LinusE]

+Robin :D Live your life like you don't have an end

[@steezmunky]

That you should fight back no matter how bleak the situation is. Even if there's no chance of success, I think

[@ragon39]

Put on the auto generated sub titles. Really works wonders...

[@fernandopereira8313]

There's a version with Anthony Hopkins but the musical instruments are too loud.

[@transastra]

is this a genre? dramatically read poetry?

[@ultimatemonkey]

does any one know if there a version where Caine reads the complete poem? i cant seem to find one ...

[@beaubarri2243]

If this was originally written by Dylan Thomas, who wrote it subsequently?

[@FatCatw]

Send this to Trump

[@NCR_RangerRUS]

Anyone from Fallout Dust trailer here?

[@StevenTorrey]

Except it's NOT the complete poem!

[@Josh-ji8ym]

Frankie :)

[@jackdaniels.6887]

it means we all have to get on jets and fight aliens with will Smith unless it's p2

[@charlieking8561]

Who else is here because of Act of Rage?

[@relentlessmotion]

...

[@thelostsparten]

Should be the motto for those who fight against trump

[@troywinters8208]

yup. I really hate this movie

[@leemcqueen500]

Fuck you.

[@bassrooten2217]

Remember everyone. Rage Rage
