I love how the guy behind Berger (and possibly the guy behind him too) makes a double step (leans to left of screen) to get into sync with how Berger is moving as they step onto the plane so it looks robotic and cloned when they are in shadow.

@@Sonyetc Well, the black soldier singing here, he's being marched off to war, and he sings: Somewhere, inside something there is a rush of Greatness, who knows what stands in front of Our lives, I fashion my future on films in space Silence tells me secretly Everything Everything I take all that to mean he's sort of trying to reason with the universe and Fate saying I have all this potential, these great things ahead of me. Don't let me go die in this war. The universe says nothing in return. And that silence tells him everything about the indifference and hopelessness of his situation.

Not to mention how poignant his reprisal of Manchester, England is because his last lines are "I believe in God and I believe that God believes in Claude.

Not being American I couldn't really identify with American flags flying about, we had our own protest movement here in Australia as well, railing against the "all the way with LBJ" mindset that sent our soldiers off to Vietnam.

Unforgetable song, with strong Message about friendship AND love.

[@orelskivis]

Yes it is !!! But The REAL message is about enslaved American Folks going in wars with the only aim to occupy other lands and to die in those senseless wars for the profits of the federal Bank and other imperialistic interests

[@zsupersaiyan]

God this scene hits so hard

[@janshegers7667]

explain it, never saw the movie, no idea what is going on. He was trying to get someone off the plane? Why was he not supposed to be on the plane?

[@zsupersaiyan]

So the guy trying to chase the plane, Claude, is an army conscript who belongs on the base. Before being enlisted he befriended a group of hippies in New York, and they came to visit him on the base. They weren't allowed in, so instead they devised a plan where one of their girls seduced a senior officer on leave and stole his clothes. Using these clothes the hippie friend Berger got into the base, found Claude, and swapped uniforms with him, so that he can pretend to be him, answer roll call for him while Claude visits the friends outside the base. In this scene, Claude is returning in the officer's uniform to find Berger and swap back, but at that time Claude's unit is mobilised into Vietnam, and Berger has to play along with it, getting dragged there instead of Claude, to his death.

[@janshegers7667]

Oh ok... honestly this is kinda weird. I get the set up of the plot but it just comes over as a bit too idiotic... as if no one is going to notice it is another dude...

[@zsupersaiyan]

Jan Shegers in the scene before this, some of the soldiers in the unit do notice Claude has changed into someone else, but they think its quite funny or dont bother asking. And once they notice he is different on the plane its too late

[@monisamontoya1968]

I remember the day that this final scene was shot. There was a request for people in the DC area to wear 1960's style clothing fo r this scene. I was in high school in the 1960's and it was surreal seeing so many youngsters in the retro outfits on the mall glad to participate in a massive crowd scene.

[@erikstein5854]

why was it surreal seeing people in 1960's clothing when you were in DC in the 1960's? And why was it retro when you were in the 1960's?

[@somerandomvertebrate9262]

A scene of extraordinary power and beauty in a very beautiful film. Highly seductive. To imagine that the generation romanticised in this musical have in their old age themselves turned into the very warmongers they protested against is no less baffling.

I watched it in the cinema when it came out. A ten years old boy. I remember when we walked out at the end so many people with teary eyes. 52 years old now, after doing my own tour, I can't watch this or sing along without crying my ass off. FUCK EVERY SINGLE FUCKING WAR PROMOTER

[@DarthMohammedRules]

There are so many great singers in this movie, but that black guy singing at 1:30... OMFG!!! I seriously have chills listening to his voice. Freakin' amazing, and he wasn't even a star in this movie. (Admittedly, I have no idea if the actual actor filmed is the one singing, but still, those vocals, whoever does them, are awesome as hell!)

[@jessiesstuff6453]

Many of the main characters sang in the movie. Treat Williams, Beverly D'Angelo, I believe John savage sings and the black main character is from welcome back kotter.

[@mbear1639]

This scene is really well-filmed. The yawning, black chasm of that cargo plane.....sends chills up my spine. Such a waste of human life.

[@MrWayne1701]

Only someone who grew up in a peaceful, plentiful time and place (bought for them by the blood shed by young men like those, and the blood they spilled in turn), would call their sacrifice "a waste".

[@mbear1639]

dom uncl I wasnt being disrespectful to our fallen veterans and I truly believe in the mantra, "Freedom ain't free". Apologies all around for my poor word choice.

[@MrWayne1701]

Any war is a horrible tragedy...Vietnam all the more so because it was so unpopular, and our warriors treated so badly, those who made it back. It was before my time, but I have an Uncle that was in country, and still suffers from it. Thank you for clarifying, sorry if I jumped to an unwarranted conclusion, have a nice day.

[@mbear1639]

dom uncl You too. I did grow up then. I was young 7 or 8 when it ended but i remember protests bc Ohio State University was my backyard and Kent State, well it was "up the road" a bit from Columbus

We starve, look at one another short of breath, Walking proudly in our winter coats, Wearing smells from laboratories, Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy, Listening for the new told lies with supreme visions of Lonely tunes. Somewhere, inside something, there is a rush of Greatness. Who knows what stands in front of our lives; I fashion my future on films in space. Silence tells me secretly everything, everything. Manchester England, England Manchester England, England (Eyes look your last) Across the Atlantic sea (Arms, take your last embrace) And I'm a genius, genius (And lips, owe you the 'dors) I believe in god (Of breath. seal with a righteous kiss) And I believe that god believes in Claude, (Seal with a righteous kiss) That's me. that's me. (The rest is silence) That's me. (The rest is silence) That's me. (The rest is silence) We starve, look at one another short of breath, Walking proudly in our winter coats, Wearing smells from laboratories, Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy, Listening for the new told lies with supreme visions of Lonely tunes. Singing our space songs on a spider web sitar, "life is around you and in you." Answer for Timothy Leary, deary.

Adam Manyfingers Dear Adam thank you for the lyrics. I' m born in 1960 and remember this movie well. My mother is an ex hippie... I'm never thought that this is So relevent TODAY. Your extra comments regard Manchester England I am still digesting it. Look Adam I'm always knew that this middle/ last part when Manchester England was song was a message but I am just enjoyed this part of the song for years and even forgot about it. You shook my foundation. Mission accomplished my Dear Brother.?!. You may not have known but you are a big part of the Matrix and the beginning of the end. This video just popped up out of the blue onto my learning table. I have watched it for three days straight and today I go through the comments and find your beautiful reminder and full and correct lyrics. You have given me one of my last clues and a lot to chew on. May God/Allah Bless YOU.... STAND STRONG, ALWAYS SPEAK THE TRUTH AND UPHOLD RIGHTEOUSNESS.

I think my favorite part of this scene is the black girl's unspoken transformation. When she first appears in the movie, she's dressed like a schoolmarm with buttoned-up dresses and straight hair tied back in a tight bun, and when the Tribe go to Nevada, she and the kid kinda just go along for the ride to be with Hud. But here, she's front and center with an afro and hippy-style clothing, suggesting that she ended up joining them. I love it ❤️
