The Grey -The Letter

[Update: 28/3/16] I've added subtitles if anyone has difficulty hearing it.
I've had this idea to make small music video type things to certian monologues/conversations in a movie. And I was listening to the soundtrack from The Grey and I got inspired.
I absolutely love this film, and I didn't think I would make another video for it. I guess I was wrong.
Liam Neeson is by far one of the greatest actors of all time, and he brings life to every character he plays. This probably being one of his best roles (and films) to date.
If you haven't seen this film yet, I highly recommend you do.
Once more into the fray,
Into the last good fight I'll ever know.
Live and die on this day,
Live and die on this day.
Film: The Grey
Song used: The City Surf by Jamin Winans

I'm a woman, and this film kicked the shit out of me. Honestly! It gave me the most honest insight into a man's psyche; the most honest I have ever seen in my life on planet Earth. Can I say this? I never knew how much we women drive you ahead; how much we give you purpose, and how much you LIVE for us. ...and after watching this, I can only imagine the fury that 'GOOD men' have towards men who take what is offered to them from women and children and use it to make themselves feel more powerful, as opposed to using that love and trust to build yourselves up and nurture what you have. And believe me, GOOD women see a GOOD man, and are so thankful for what you sacrifice for us. We TRULY are thankful...as GOOD women. Anyway, I guess I'm just rambling here, but this film hit me hard, and is completely underestimated and undervalued.

[@Clandsom]

Loved your comment thank you for writing.

[@filipdjordjevic1528]

You are unique soul nonetheless a unique woman, you'll find a man if you haven't already lol that Cherishes your appreciation and acknowledgement of the fact that women do most of the time give a man true purpose when we think that person is the one we put 100% into it, a Man that truly loves a woman, builds his future and life dedicated to taking care of that woman and family, well the good men lol it's wicked on the journey but once you find that person that becomes a team with you in this game called life instead of an extra hard opponent

[@diondemers7649]

Until a truly loving Man gets hurt that one last time by a cheating dirty woman. Then he realizes maybe he was meant to be alone because women use love itself to there advantage when a good Man actually cared🖕 FTW!!!

[@ronaldparker4353]

This is a fine story of Men, what they have seen, felt , emotions and how they deal with their personal demons, to give up or to fight. Their is empathy on both sides, every man has a breaking point.......The question remains what will you do when you have had enough?????What direction or action will you take when you are broken and have no hope???Its hard not to take the easy way out when its in front of you, and you find peace there.... It doesn't matter about the wolf, perhaps we should call it fear and pain which lives in every man mind, its how you deal with it..

[@UnderwaterScotland]

Well read man,respect👍 The greatest fight we will ever have is with ourselves...

[@jorabohem]

Fine story of HUMANS, in my opinion.

[@work-in-progress.]

This movie was cleverly disguised as an action movie for the knuckleheads but it's philosophical. The wolves represent death as they don't behave that way in nature. It covers survival, love, loss, grief, fear, persistence, "God", fate, "beast vs. man", death.....EXISTENCE. It's got Neeson minus the mindless 'Taken' nonsense. Life = White. Death = Black. THE GREY = Survival....at least temporarily (and that goes for us as well). The antithesis to Life of Pi in it's message regarding faith (although, that was a good film too). Beautiful music.

[@UnderwaterScotland]

Well said👍

[@work-in-progress.]

Thanks.

[@UnderwaterScotland]

you're welcome,my absolute pleajure buddy;)

[@rayraygunner]

I agree with most of what you said but I feel like the wolves represent more than just death. For example, when Ottway was contemplating suicide outside with the rifle barrel in his mouth, the wolves distracted him. Strangely enough, it was almost as if they were giving him a reason to go on in this world.

[@cassandrathomas5248]

Wolves are spiritual guides to the after life. They don't represent death they represent the journey to death. You were right in everything else

[@cardio-thoracicsurgery8092]

The theme is universal. The struggle and grapple with/for purpose in life. Everybody can relate. So moving. Seriously underrated.

[@edwardelric4975]

I like how it has a Liam Neeson voice over, making the song 10x better.

[@atownlosocarrillo3368]

I always come back to this video

[@macky1369]

This movie is so amazing and under appreciated. The writing is a perfect simple survival story that allows the real emotions of fear to shine. I just saw 60 minutes interview with Liam Neeson talking about his wife dying. This happened before this movie and makes those scenes even more real.

[@thanos1229]

It’s been 8 years , are you still alive ?

[@stevevigil8891]

I just want to thank you for posting this. It means so much to me. My friend took me to see the movie one night. My wife and I were the closest we had ever been and going through the toughest time. We had been beaten up by everything, people, the system, everything. She held on to her faith, how, I'll never know. Me, Ide given up on God a long time ago. We lost our children for nothing, to a corrupt system and supposed loved ones. We turned to drugs and that pain and suffering when you go that far down is incredible that I am here today. We were homeless, lost everything. All we had was each other. Then I lost her too. We had battled addiction and were clean. Before we could even get going with our new found everything and fight a major injustice, she died. It was over before it began. Have law suit, not so much for me, but for our girls. It was shortly after when I was taken to see this film. Wow! It hit me deep as my wife had cancer, an unfair world and God who I called upon to save her as I struggled to breathe for her, never came. Now I wonder this world only to be here for my girls. I wanted to die. All the while I pleaded with God that instead of her, take me, take me I cried. The wolf means many things for many people. This movie put some things into perseption for me at just the right time. How the story of my life ends is but a tale to be told at best. All I can do is try my best as I really do think I am lost without her. I put a gun to my head many times knowing I stopped doind this world any real good. Then I think of my girls. Who would walch over them and help them during their hardships. I have to live and be here for them for every thing in their stuggles in life. I have to live showing them that life isn't easy. Once more into the fray Into the last great fight fight I will ever know Live and die on this day Live and die on this day Anyway thank you for your post.

[@wHisperis001]

Neeson wrote these words for the movie whilst thinking of his wife who died in 2009.

[@fwalsh101]

*No, Joe Carnahan wrote this for the film.*

[@wHisperis001]

According to Empire magazine, in the climactic scene in which Neeson's character pens a letter to his wife, Carnahan urged Neeson to "channel his grief" over the death of his own wife, Natasha Richardson

[@wHisperis001]

Well maybe he just acted it :S

The letter he wrote for this film was to his actual wife that died...Amazingly sad but extremely powerful.

I don’t know why I did half the things I have done. But I know this is where I belong. Surrounded by my own. There is not a second goes by when I am not thinking of you in some way. I want to see your face; feel your hands in mine. Feel you against me. And I know that will never be; you left me and I can’t get you back. I am cursed, and feel it’s only a matter of time. I don’t know why I am writing this. I don’t know what can come of this. I know I can’t get you back. I don’t know why this has happened to us. I feel like it’s me. Bad luck. Poison. I’ve stopped doing this world any real good. Once more into the fray, into the last good fight I will ever know. Live and die on this day, live and die on this day.

[@badbadleroybrown]

You did a great job on this montage. I think the trailer for the film should have been more in this vein as many people hate on this film as they went in expecting a typical brainless Hollywood film, but this film is so so much more, brings me to tears every time, it's so deep. The director was fearful that a more allegorical deeper character film wouldn't be a commercial success so that might explain why they went for a more mainstream feel in the trailer. Good work fella! PS don't you just love the piano score they use - it resonates the feel of those scenes so perfectly.

[@schmoovey]

+badbadleroybrown Well said. Too many brainless people went in expecting another brainless Hollywood movie. They came out confused and still wondering what they had seen, because most of them have no clue how deep human emotion can get. They are the sheeple. They are the simpletons. They are the unevolved.

My Final Words... Hitting the ruthless bottom... feeling the impending coldness... contemplating in loneliness... When darkness strikes your world and you are surrounded by your darkest inner fears, what do you do? From the ticking hands of life To the swinging pendulum of death We count down to the end of the day Until time consumes us all At the midst of dawn to the brink of dusk Your life passes by before your eyes We die for what we live for And we live for what we die for In faith, we found hope In trust, we found belief In the people we love and the things we cherish We sustain our purpose in life We fight to the bitter end once more into the fray Into the last good fight I'll ever know Live and die on this day live and die on this day But what do you do... When you have nothing to live for And no one to die for anymore When you are at the end of the road And one extra stretch from breaking The world is oblivious to your existence And life drifts further into the empty distance living in world perpetuated by despair Can't you see I'm already dead Standing between the valley of death Contemplating life for one last time Before embracing death itself I lived to this day And I died on this day Soul is Shadow-Wolf Soldier Live and die on this day.../This is my story of a Soldier i was born 94/02/17 as a twin but he die 94/09/17 My real name is Vincent Tyler Robinson i stand at 6.0 feet tell 170 pounds... but I,m not what you think of tho I,m not a human I'm a Furry a Spiritual 1500 pounds Shadow-Wolf/Lone Soldier demon hunter.......

[@stuartrowe8320]

I think this film relates to Liams own struggle through his own losses in life and how the Wolves represent the hurdles he's having to face through life and leads poiniently to the final battle, with the Alpha wolf at the end, his ultimate test. I believe he fights through this and lies exhausted, but triumphantly and takes him to his next chapter. I also believe the Wolves are taking revenge for the ones he's taken during the film.

[@3000KJH]

I think I read somewhere he was still really struggling with his wife's death and this drawn him to this film.

[@cassandrathomas5248]

Wolves are spiritual guides to the afterlife there is no hate this is Hunter verses Hunter his will to live verses nature's will to take he is the aloha black wolf rematch the story each wolf and human die according excactly to their character.
