Gerard Depardieu plays piano and sings a poem in Green Card

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

I have seen this movie only once, about 25 years ago. This scene stayed with me through all this time.

[@lepetitchat123]

Can anyone tell me why Bronte doesn’t just marry Phil instead of marrying a stranger? If she truly wants to help out George then I can understand, but she doesn’t know him or even like him. Why would you marry someone you don’t know anything about just to buy a greenhouse apartment? The rest of the film is fine but this plot line is unrealistic., illogical and irrational.

First he breaks every expectation from the crowd then plays this little tune to get back to normal and wins.. Smart

[@margaretfoss7207]

Love this film. Have watched it many times during the pandemic here in Long Beach California. The movie and cast never gets old. Gerard Depardieu is such a great actor and so ruggedly handsome.cant believe this movie is Almost twenty years old.

[@dawnb1108]

@@margaretfoss7207 and Helene Staley, I feel the exact same way. I think this is the most beautiful scene in the movie. And that poem, oh. It still brings tears to my eyes. Just. Beautiful. (And honestly, does anything ever sound bad in French? lol I've never heard anything that does.)

Classic piece of cinema, chapeau to Dep, the writer and director. He deserved an oscar for this film.

Written & directed by Peter Weir.

[@hesoraptured]

Saw this movie over 20 years ago. Woke up at 5am to use the bathroom and this scene popped in my head. Been looking for it for 3 hours 😩 just found it. Not disappointed 🙂

[@pansworldnews]

I never seem to get tired of watching this scene!!! Gives me sooo much!!! It means a lot that you've put this here on KZbin... Laughter and tears at the same time!! ...

[@bontempo01]

The scene is awesome. I think I watched this movie some 10 times and always marvelled at this. Depardieu at his finest. For information, the music piece (the real one ;)) is "Asking You" by Hans Zimmer (one of the great composers of our time).

[@nonh8nsk8r]

I've tried in vain to get the sheet music for this piece. It seems easy to figure out, but i'm always distracted by Gerard's poem.

[@eggizgud]

@@nonh8nsk8r listen to the soundtrack.

[@pansworldnews]

This poem and the piece he's playing always makes my heart sooo ... so... wordless! The children and the trees...... Thank you!! And I loooove when he goes crazy on the piano!! That party needed to eas up!!!!

[@PeterteRiele]

For me the best scene in the movie among many other favorite scenes. You need the story to understand what's exactly happening.

[@hispanicruiz4656]

Peter te Riele This screen is the best. I just wish this clip started with him playing the piano while speaking in French. Another great part was their goodbyes to each other. Of course you have to watch the whole movie to really feel it. Chica

[@noonoali1521]

This movie can make you feel better about your life at anytime Gérard always the most beautiful actor ❤

[@soc3chappd]

It is a very moving scene, as strong as any I've seen in a film. The film is not serious, but theres something about this scene which is so beautiful. I think the embarrassment where George is playing randomly....vs the delicacy of the poem just works perfectly.

[@brianraper4836]

One of the greatest moments ever laid upon film. IMHHO

[@user-bi3st7ek5w]

This scene shows what a man in love can do for a woman. Great performance by Gerard Depardieu.

[@56music64]

one of my all time fav films, stellar cast and wonderful direction by outstanding Oz director Peter Weir. This is another story which says "you are the person I never knew I always wanted" His masculinity to her was at first a turn off, but at the end he swept her off her feet and I always think he would have eaten her up once he got his hands on her, but in a good way, just what her character needed. You can be an independent woman but still need to be loved hard, we all do

[@skilomic]

Andie McDowell Is so georgeous in this scene...She still is btw

[@Jan96106]

She's gorgeous in the whole movie, and her clothes are beautiful, and she makes the clothes look so beautiful; one can see why she started out as a fashion model.

[@JokinglySerious]

Once I heard the sound of the wind in the trees Once I heard the sound of the laughter of children And I wept warm salted tears for the lost trees Let the little children come onto the trees and I will give them hope But there are no trees for the poor lost children Decay is their toy Despair is their game They have only chaos to climb.

Une fois j’ai entendu le bruit du rire des enfants. Et j’ai pleuré à chaudes larmes pour ces arbres perdus. "Laissez les petits enfants dans les arbres et je leur donnerai de l’espoir", il a dit.
