THE GREAT ESCAPER (2023) Official Clip #4 [HD] Michael Caine, Glenda Jackson - In Cinemas Now

[@tonybmw5785]

The British cemetery scene had me in tears because it brought back powerful memories of my grandfather making almost the same comment when my dad and I took him to Normandy on the 50th anniversary.

[@ashleywetherall]

Me too. 1994 ,50th anniversary. The black cab association arranged the trip. I remember my grandfather weeping at a grave of one of his fallen comrades.

[@stevenmoore3130]

As an army veteran looking forward to this with two fantastic Oscar winning British actors. One small technical point. The correct salute once learned is never forgotten. Michael was an army veteran in the Korean war. So, here he employs his drilled in him Army salute. However, he is playing a navy man in the movie and their salute is not flat of hand facing forward but rather, facing down to the ground. Small technical point, in an otherwise, I believe, we'll told story.

[@lotuselise4432]

Good to know Father was a Navy man and was a stoker, was also on a support ship on D Day and did the Arctic Crossings at least he was warm.

[@KJs581]

I thought exactly the same thing. Maybe the producer/director thought him saluting differently would look strange, but I spent 40 years in the "blue suit" (my Navy, RAN) and I (like any sailor)will never salute any other way than "our way"; that is, hand over right eyebrow, angled 45 degrees to the deck. But concur, small point; I can't wait to see this movie.

[@Trek001]

@@KJs581 There is an alternative shot used in some trailers and a poster that shows the correct naval salute - I guess they picked what looked like the better of the takes

[@enzobuso5933]

Seeing how history is important to the movie these kinds of things should not be overlooked imo

[@treecloser]

I saw this scene in the movie watching it alone in the living room. It put tears in my eyes when they all got up and salute. Later on i told my wife about this impressive scene and showed her. Unfortunatly she didn't care a bit. Amazing this true storie i have read 8 months later after he came home from his "great escape" journey to Normandie he had passed away. Love this movie thank you. Greetings from The Netherlands

Young lads who fought on opposite sides of the same battlefield meeting as old men 70 years later. Beautiful.

[@colin10ten83]

Saw the Film today. Absolutely brilliant and totally moving. The pity was though, there were only four of us in the cinema.😞

[@arielgatti8975]

Spread the word. Word of mouth is powerful. I, for one, plan to see it...and will look for it.

[@gillie-monger3394]

Probably because today's generation expect hero's to have supernatural powers or big tits and preferably both. True hero's as depicted here are beyond their understanding.

[@balinthehater8205]

@@gillie-monger3394 more because the movie was very under marketed. As a younger veteran i didn't even know that the movie existed before finding it at random on a streaming platform and i was literally moved to tears by it

[@gillie-monger3394]

@@balinthehater8205 I agree about the promotion being 'under the radar'. I couldn't understand why. I mean, it has two of the greatest actors Britain has ever produced and the subject matter is one of remembrance and compassion for all who took part in the war. Maybe the last few generations would rather forget about the wars and the bravery of those who fought. I know quite a ew '20 somethings' who don't know a thing about WWI or II, or indeed that there was ever a World War or that matter!

[@redeemed_sigma]

That's one more than what was at my screening

[@stevekwong1979]

I have seen this movie but I sense that it would be and one of the great acts and movies of the century. Salute.

[@lairddougal3833]

What a moving moment, brilliantly acted by all concerned. Caine is, as ever, great!

[@katiedid1851]

Michael Caine shines in any movie he is in. He is a phenomenal actor. His earliest in the 1960s, Alfie. Wonderful movie. I will buy the DVD for this movie.

[@ashleywetherall]

I honestly believe that Sir Michael Caine unknowingly channelled my Grandfather, Harry Wetherall perfectly. I was in tears in the cinema.. God bless that generation..

[@uclaztec2]

Such a powerful scene. The german actor is the same person was in Band of Brothers playing the general making a speech to the surrenduring German army.

[@bobjackson4720]

I watched this today it was very well made. Poor Glenda Jackson died before it was released. The cinema was small but almost full.

[@Manujones27]

Rest in peace God bless her❤

[@richardholmes8027]

Sir Michael and Glenda Jackson going out with a bang. Going to watch this later.

[@TameTheMind]

Just this bit of The Great Escaper--- had me all teary.

[@bobbymothershaw]

God me too, the long pause as they looked into each others eyes as they recalled the horror these two brave men had to suffer. These are just actors, the real veterans are still with us. Thank you for what you did for us 😥

[@jcstanley1835]

Same

[@BAMB9396]

Great actor Michael Caine ❤

[@grahamhawkins9026]

The acting from Wolf Kahler in this scene. Top drawer.

[@englishkernigit8294]

Someone was cutting onions in the cinema when this scene came on.

[@stuartmcpherson1921]

My friend had to wash her face after the movie.

[@alexandermoore6244]

Crying and welled up at this one teaster scene, what the feck am I gonna be like with the whole film

[@jewelvoth1578]

The whole movie has these moments. In the theater today, virtually everyone there was alive when D-Day took place. No dry eyes.

[@juliewillard1367]

I bawled my eyes out in this scene. 😢

[@Merylcaine]

I love Caine so excited for this film

[@FilmandTVFan]

This scene was profoundly moving, hit me right in the heart and left me stunned! Such an overlooked film already! The Great Escaper is absolutely beautiful 🫡❤️

[@TellySavalas-or5hf]

Caine was a real life Korean-war vet.

[@72mossy]

The German guy was The German General talking to his men in Band of brothers

[@jcstanley1835]

He was the German in raiders of the lost ark

[@Patricia-ic4ee]

Hi everyone bet you are looking forward to seeing this true life film,I certainly am, two wonderful actor’s, ❤❤

[@hayleywilliams8750]

I feel sorry for caine he was an actul veteran of the korean and so i thank him and any soldier for their service to their nation 🫡

[@berh307]

the one german was a general in band of brothers that gave the speech to his men at the surrender

[@Manujones27]

Great actors, great film, true story

[@markhooper4532]

Winnie Wallace... Can't wait till I've watched this film... Micky Caine is excellent in the trailer and so is Glenda Jackson, in fact it looks tip top acting all round.

[@robertsipos7664]

2:17 Respect ☝️☝️☝️💖

[@scottjoseph9821]

The only thing I can to all of our lads from than total respect all

[@yorkiepaul154]

Shame he got the Royal Navy Salute wrong at the end of the clip.. The Naval hand salute is made with the palm of the hand inclined downwards.. part from that looks a dam good film !!!

[@Trek001]

I think they shot this scene a few times because I've seen a trailer and still image showing the naval salute - I guess it was a choice by the director and editor which one to use

[@tiffanygrever8092]

A shout out to my step grandfather Tiny Myers 1915 -1991 that served under general Patton they risked everything for is and it wasn't a waist 🙏🏵️🏵️🏵️✝️✡️🇬🇧🇨🇮🇺🇲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇵

[@MediaArchive2-z9f]

Glad to see they forgave and made peace with each other despite being mortal enemies on both sides in ww2. Germany and Britain are Brothers in Arms in NATO now and glad they are. Germany may never fully recover from the horrors of the Nazis in ww2 and East Berlin and The Stasi but she can build a better future.

[@alasdairmacleod7769]

What matters.....is how we move forward I guess

[@frankfisher99]

oooh that's pretty effective.

[@rutger.evertzen7968]

Its the same german from band of Brothers the last episode

[@thedealer777]

Sincerely, a very meaningful and touching scene. However I feel if a Frenchman was sitting at that table, he might STRONGLY disagree with both the German and Brit, as to whose beach that really was. Of the estimated 78 MILLION people who died in WW II, 60 - 67% were civilian.

[@chrisgaunt1515]

Really enjoyed the film but noticed that in the Bayeux Cemetery scene that some of the trees were very red implying autumn colours. As this was supposed to be the 70th anniversary of D-Day on 6th June, it must have been a very early autumn in 2014!!

[@robertofraser101]

Yes seen yesterday brilliant touching funny and life tips film.shows stupidty of world leaders over period of time I world leader knock all heads together sort yourselfs out and look after people touching scene anyway yes what can I say last note enjoyed film.very much made me think for a hour or so after film.if a film.can do that well oh I didn't know it was true story respect anyway

[@dereklea3661]

I wonder if this actually took place with the real Bernard Jordan? Would be great if it did!

[@calebharvey8979]

The German guy. Doesn’t he play the German general in Band of Brothers who gives a speech at the end?

[@jcstanley1835]

The old German was the German officer in Indiana Jones raiders of the lost ark

[@sim-unation]

I have to wonder, some 30-40 years down the road, if I'll ever sit across a table with former Taliban members. Yeah, probably not.

[@feiningerjones738]

Not all German soldiers were supporters of the SS or Hitler in general. Many were forced to fight.

[@brianosborne9446]

Oh dear, incorrect salute😮

[@katiedid1851]

I am sniffling also.

[@Fj8282haha]

I wish Russian and ukrine soldiers seen this movie before they go killing each other….

[@haskapaska]

Soldiers aren't in command. They are ordered. Hence they are soldiers. "Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die".

[@alasdairmacleod7769]

I may be 29, and Scottish, but I apologise for all the atrocities Britain committed over the past few centuries

[@susanbarker2525]

That wasn't an RAF salute!

[@jcstanley1835]

Does it really matter no it doesn’t

[@WDKimball]

What I found poignant about this this is that Michael Caine (age 90), John Standing (age 89), and Wolf Kahler (age 83) were in a film together, The Eagle has Landed, in 1976. It really is a reunion of friends and colleagues. 🥲

[@redeemed_sigma]
