Gunga Din Last Scene

Gungha din…. It’s 2024 and you are still respected. Thank you sir

[@caitlinthomas5044]

Gunga din

[@BoRhap77]

I remember watching that movie as a child. When Gunga Din died after heroically sounding the alarm, I cried like a baby.😢

[@martinlynch5111]

I could not help but weep.A Monumental film indeed.

[@marianovaliente2103]

Yo también la vi de pequeño y recuerdo cuando aviso a los británicos de la emboscada que les tenían preparada tocando su corneta.al final lo mataron claro.pero cumplió su sueño de ser un soldado del ejército británico. Le dieron la cruz victoria a título póstumo y lo hicieron soldado ascendiendolo a cabo.en verdad Gunga-Din eres mejor que todos nosotros....... los versos de Kipling son muy adecuados..

[@franklujan8304]

😢

[@pikachus5m166]

So an Indian manservant helped the colonial British Raj to kill .... his own people???, Lmao!, any self-respecting Indian would have his corpse dug up and fed to the vultures.

[@ralphpussilano]

I cried also

[@dlagrua]

This was one of the greatest films of the golden age of Hollywood epics. Its message was one that applies to this day in that sometimes the least among us can prove to be the best among us.

[@jupiterlegrand4817]

"You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!" Kipling is my favorite poet by far.

[@martinlynch5111]

A soul satisfying, piece of prose.

[@christineheinrich6338]

My brother and I watched GUNGA DIN as kids we always loved this movie, and we will ALWAYS LOVE OUR "GUNGA DIN" A Poem Written By Rudyard Kipling, and made into an excellent,, unforgettable movie with Sam Jaffee AS "GUNGA DIN" 💜

[@javiercastro6747]

That line and honor will live forever.

[@epm5433]

Greatest adventure movie ever. Anyone who likes Gunga Din will also like The Man Who Would Be King.

[@gregkral4467]

That was indeed a great movie, the man who would be king.... thank you for reminding me.

[@minnowpd]

Aye.

[@adamsmith8370]

The Man Who Would be King has a lot of Masonic references in it…

[@zionmolina3039]

I actually cried at the end when Gunga Din got his wish to be a soldier in heaven at the end .

[@Metatron141]

So did many others. The great American author William Goldman who wrote the bestseller The Princess Bride watched this film something like 15 times as a teenager and he said in an interview that he would sob uncontrollably at this scene that his parents would have to console him and comfort him in the movie theater.

[@zionmolina3039]

@@Metatron141 the first time I watched it I was in shock that they buried him with full honours.

[@Metatron141]

@@zionmolina3039 Yea, pretty cool scene. Din finally got the respect and love that he deserved at the end.

[@ModernState]

Me too. I was born in 84 but my father introduced me to this film when I was six or seven. I get all misty-eyed every time when they posthumously make him a soldier.

[@infinitecanadian]

I feel more happy that he existed (in the universe in the film) than that he died. He got what he always wanted, probably since seeing soldiers in his childhood.

[@boudusaved4719]

When the camera cuts to Victor McLaglen teary-eyed guilt-shamed face after the other guy reads the line from the Kipling poem "Tho' I've belted you and flayed you" I lose it every time.

[@arslongavitabrevis5136]

Very true! A wonderful moment!

[@danielanderson6013]

One of my favorites of all time. Love stories like this, where the most unlikely character saves the day.

[@danielanderson6013]

At a time when tough guys didn't cry, notice the tears in Victor MacLachlan's eyes!

[@genxer1]

Yeah, that was a great touch. And they didn't come any tougher than him.

[@Xerrand]

You're a better man than I am Gunga Din.

[@martinlynch5111]

One of the greatest lines in the history of movies.

[@Setebos]

One of the few poems my father knew by heart.

[@johnlewtas6833]

same man. my dad used to read it to me as I fell asleep... "so I'll meet him later on, in that place where he has gone."

[@thomascampbell4730]

I once fancied myself a poet, my ambition broken by the reciting of Gunga Din by a lady of the peerage who, with perfect poise and diction, rendered perfectly the cockney which was as foreign to her as I. Poetry became Kipling to me, from then til now. The memory of that evening, is never far from my thoughts. Other poets became mere pretenders. Our social stations could hardly have been further apart yet the doggerel of Kipling bridged that chasm. "So 'ere's ~to~ you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in the Soudan; You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man" For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Chuck him out, the brute! " But it's " Saviour of 'is country " when the guns begin to shoot;

[@markstergios9851]

I watched this at the drive in when I was 7 or 8. I cried my guts out all the way home! That was a very satisfying cry! What a movie!

[@albertopa58]

One of my dad's favorite films. This heavily influenced Spielberg in the Indiana Jones films. True high adventure. A great film.

[@captain4595]

Inspired Spileberg in making wrong portrayals of a place,though I excuse their ignorance.

[@classicgunstoday1972]

One of dad’s favorite movies too. He saw it in the theater like a dozen times in one day in the late 1940s or early 50s. Showed it to me growing up in the 80s. Indiana Jones is a fun great adventure movie in it’s own way. If it wasn’t for all these great movies from back then, we’d never have had the magic Spielburg and Lucas gave us growing up

[@christianreynolds7856]

I’m so glad I found this-as a child, I remember watching the end of this movie with my dad. I made him rewind the final scene with Auld Land Syne over and over. Watching this felt like being back on that couch again with him. Though I’ll never again make new ones, I’m so grateful to still have those old memories with him

[@AchtungEnglander]

Now I finally understand where the opening scene from The Party came from. Good on Peter Sellers to send this up

[@ruffianoo]

I love The Party!

[@yerushalimey]

Watched The Party for the first (and last ) time last night. The beginning was the best part.

Thank You so much for posting this. One of the greatest endings to a film in movie history. He did become a Corporal Of The Regiment.

[@annkendrick1734]

You're welcome

[@alanfoster6589]

Second-highest grossing film of 1939 (after some picture with the word "wind" in it). The British army advisers on the film, who had served in India, said that the locations near Lone Pine, CA looked just like the Hindu Kush area.

[@glp329]

Magnificent ending.

[@infinitecanadian]

Gunga Din symbolizes all the brave men who proudly served in the British Army in India.

[@captain4595]

Nope,nope at all.He symbolises a group of traitors who helped foreign invaders in enslavement of their people.

I came into this movie towards the end, but that was all I had to see to be moved by Corporal Gunga Din's final appearance.

[@dhall5785]

Great music. The Campbells are Coming mixed with Auld Lang Syne

[@kennethkellogg6556]

It is a fascinating irony that the song the regiment sings as they approach the Guru's lair is "Will Ye No Come Back Again", a song of rebellion against the English!

[@craigham93]

Not a rebellion against the English at all. A rebellion against the House of Hanover. It refers to Charles Stuart, who sought to replace George II with his father James. They wanted to rule the whole of Great Britain. They also sought support from English jacobites but it only amounted to a few hundred volunteers who comprised mostly of the 'Manchester regiment'

[@arslongavitabrevis5136]

@@craigham93 It was a rebellion against the English because the House of Hannover was backed by the English nobility who was determined to have a docile puppet on the throne. The ethnic cleansing of the Scottish highlanders after Culloden demonstrated that it was not just a simple dynastic dispute.

[@craigham93]

@@arslongavitabrevis5136 it was backed by a significant number of the Scottish nobility as well. The 1745 rebellion was the smallest of the 3 main uprisings largely due to the fact that Scotland was prospering from commercial interactions within the british empire. The ethnic cleansing of highlanders after the fact was perpetrated (as it had been as far back as James IV) by scots as well. Notwithstanding the numbers of highlanders who enlisted in the army thereafter. It really isn't as simple as a rebellion against England.
