The Year of Living Dangerously | Full Movie Starring Mel Gibson | Warner Classics

[@blu48]

The realism in this film is outstanding. You can feel the humidity along with the stress of impending danger. Gibson and Weaver are stunning. Hunt is unforgettable.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

Totally agree Under fire 1983 ,Apocalypse Now 1979, Salvador 1986 ,The Killing feilds. Also have that intense realism that we will never see again. They just had all the right ingredients back then

[@yingma9604]

My mother left Indonesia with her parents (Chinese father, Dutch-Indonesian mother) for China in 1953, they had relatives that stayed in Indonesia. I knew very little of the country until I visited in 1995. It was quite a contrast as I was living in Italy at the time and flew in from Hongkong, I remember that on the day of departure our relative had to bribe customs officers at the airport so that he could accompany us to the plane. I am glad things are going well for the people despite the country having to go through a lot of trauma in history. In 1998 violent riots, thousands burnt to death, women brutalized, and so much bloodshed at a time not so long ago. If corruption and poverty were the root cause, I hope the country is on the right track now.

[@jamescalvin902]

What a magnificent film; haven't watched it in decades. Gibson and Weaver, so gifted with screen presence. They were at the peak of their fame in the 80s, and with good reason. This was the role of Linda Hunt's life, and she was terrific.

[@likeke.benoyt]

This film is just one of the reasons I'm a fan of Peter Weir and his films.

[@reesebn38]

He is the best! Witness is my favorite.

[@DelightLovesMovies]

@@reesebn38 Yea that's a great one, too.

[@Kathryn551]

Weir is a tool of the US evil empire. He failed to document that it was the US govt via CIA that propped up Sukarno who murdered MILLIONS of his own people to stay in power and serve Americans.

[@alanwhit8770]

Fearless (1993) is an unknown gem!

Brilliant film. Finally got the opportunity to see it again after all these years. Linda Hunt an enigma. Terrific performance. Gibson,naive,just starting off on his way to stardom and all that it entails.

[@RileySP-j7n]

Onlly a person can be brilliant

[@jondevaney6860]

1) Lots of people speak informally. 2) When we say a film is brilliant we are giving credit to the director for doing a highly successful job with the film - the director's work was brilliant. Supplementary credit for a great script, great acting, great cinematography, etc. - key components of a great, "brilliant" film.

This movie back in a days won some few big awards.. There were few recognised Filipino actors, Bembol Rocco the taxi driver and Kuh Ledesma she served Mel Gibson some tea. She's a famous singer back in the 80s. Thank you for uploading this classic 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🍻

[@reesebn38]

I saw the Year of Living Dangerously in the theater when it came out. I was an instant fan of Peter Weir after I saw Gallipoli. He is Australia's greatest filmmaker. Linda Hunt defines the meaning of actress in this film.

[@robinhampshire8923]

actress? superb!

[@steved8053]

both landmark films. don't hate me but i'm glad Mel Gibson's Trump's ambassador to hollywood.

[@reesebn38]

@@steved8053 Dude I was an instant fan of Mel's with Gallipoli! I couldn't with Mad Max because in Canada it was dubbed on first release. I've seen all his movies in the theatre. The Road Warrior, Lethal Weapon 1&2 and Braveheart were life changing movie experiences. I've always supported him. I understand how bad addiction can be.

[@LadywatchingByrd]

Oh MY 🤩😍I have never seen Mel this young or clean cut🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@JoeyDaytona]

I saw this in college as a double feature with The Killing Fields. Changed my life.

[@larkop6504]

Hard to believe this is the first time watching this at 40, really good film. A lot more poignant now that i live in Indonesia and having spoke to family who lived through this massacre.

[@josemaria8177]

One of Peter Weir's most underrated films

[@TheKeggie]

Its a highly regarded film but i do understand what you're saying.

[@LineChau]

Such an atmospheric movie. When I saw it first in 1985 I think I was very impressed by how much Nature can be felt through the screen. It is something quite rare in movies. Rewatching it today I sense that again.

[@pagano1905]

Saw it when it came out … and fell in love with both Mel Gibson and Richard Strauss. So glad to find this brilliant film after all these decades.

[@gruntsrule1]

I just stumbled onto this movie today and I really enjoyed it!

[@JoeS-e5s]

Saw this when it first came out. Still a powerful movie today as it was then. A classic that will endure over time.

[@mayogal]

same here, about 1983?

[@tomknoll796]

Not-so-guilty secret: I'm a film buff. I've seen thousands of films from every era. I love a lot of the predictable directors and films and have seen many over two dozen times. However, this is the film that I have seen more than any other - probably close to 70 times. It speaks to me on so many levels.

[@JoeVandenberg-t6q]

@tomknoll796 tom, I just screen it when I like in my man cave theatre. -- it's so indelible. Ever read the book?

[@tomknoll796]

@JoeVandenberg-t6q I read the book twice. I've taught Buddhist meditation for 25 years. I used to be a History professor. I've lived in Indonesia for 7 years. So you put all these things together and the movie resonates on so many levels.

[@ColeenFogle]

This is truly one of the most well done movies I've ever seen. All the actors were at their best. Ive seen it many times and will definitely watch it again. Linda Hunt was amazing.

[@Zeibekkikina]

Saw the movie when it was released, bought the video too. I was such a big Mel Gibson fan ❤ he has never looked more gorgeous

[@clovisdacruz6078]

Linda Hunt is simply outstanding in this film.

[@vikstankus1743]

Classic movie. Cinematography, dialogue, acting by Mel Gibson, Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hunt (playing a male photographer) transcending a historical moment in time- the Indonesian Revolution of 1965. Thanks for showing

[@ovedj333]

When law and order breaks down, there is only desperation, fear, courage, faith, and sudden death or miraculous escape left. Great movie!

[@PerryLisa]

I have not seen this for years. I had forgotten how great "Year" is, and was surprised again by the music that held me captive for a long time. Hunt, Weaver, Gibson and all of them were rivetingly good.

[@PerryLisa]

I also forgot that this is where I first heard Kiri Te Kanewa's voice and became a loving fan of her singing.

[@andyromano5837]

Would absolutely LOVE to get this film remastered by Warner Archive and have a proper blu-ray release. This brilliant Peter Weir film certainly deserves better. At least to be seen in it's proper aspect ratio - not just the opening titles.

[@dixjam2258]

My father was Indonesian, born in 1940, who emigrated to Europe in the early 60-s. I remember watching this movie with him several times and although he generally liked the movie, I recall distinctly how uncomfortable he was at a few of the scenes, namely - the handicapped dwarf dance, the prostitutes swarming over the 2 characters and the poverty and sickness scenes in the harbor. Also, he was not very fond of how Sukarno was portrayed - for his generation, Sukarno was more of a hopeful figure who tried to elevate the country above outside dependence and bring meaningful reforms in just about everything. It was much less about political affiliation.

[@anairenemartinez165]

You mean like Castro? As the late Queen Elizabeth II stated " recollections vary"

[@dixjam2258]

@@anairenemartinez165 You will have to be more precise in your question, I don't understand what you mean. But I can tell you this now: why would anybody care about what some obsolete political figure like QE II had to say about anything, particularly issues outside the UK?

[@berits.2346]

@dixjam2258 because, QE II obviously has more experience and a smarter mind than you will ever achieve, I'm sorry to say. And this is coming from someone who is not a monarchist at all.

[@dixjam2258]

@ Smart has nothing to do with what is being discussed here, I am not a political figure, I am not in public office and I don't take decisions affecting millions of people. But for the sake of the argument, here is where I am definitely smarter than QE II: I am earning my livelihood in the private sector, using my skills and my knowledge. I had/have no inheritance, no hand-outs, no money from public funds and certainly no job handed to me unconditionally on a silver platter. Instead of trying to downplay people on the internet based on your perceived expectations about people you don't know, maybe you should get back to a rational debate about this movie and what I said.

[@teresabarbieri3894]

Your father supported a communist and another thing, overbreeding and not being able to take care of your offspring is another problem but expect White Western countries to help you. Those days are over, no more handouts.

All the major companies like Warner, Paramount, Universal etc are going to start releasing their older films on KZbin to make sure it keeps their copyright on them so i guess that's good for every one.

[@KasimirZierl]

Really? Where can I find more information about this?

[@TheKeggie]

@@KasimirZierl I've worked with licensing media and its dependent on their copyright to keep renewing their ownership on them by continuing to monetize those properties. In the past they could do this by releasing on Home Media but KZbin is just an easier option now which is why they're releasing all their back catalog now and keeping them all in one place rather than outsourcing them to different streaming sites.

By far, the best Peter Weir's movie. Segourney Weaver and Mel Gibson are great but Linda Hunt is incredible.The way Historic events and individual destinies are mixed is very clever.

[@JoeVandenberg-t6q]

@cecildemille190 cecil...no one seems to be mentioning the author, or his book, here...surely must have something to do with the grip of the film! And the story's hero -- his casual disregard for the various serious civil topographys. As in, merely a year of danger...

Trekked rural Bali in '90s and found a shadow puppet play in a small village. Puppeteers saw a White family watching, and changed the script to say, "Oh Monica I love you long time!" The village people turned to share a big laugh with us over a Bill Clinton reference, making sure we all felt at home for the rest of the Ramayana story.

[@limeliciousmapping4652]

Thank you for uploading! I watched this movie for the first time, because I really enjoyed the book. I think the antagonisms in the book were beautifully reinforced, and it is super interesting to see what was changed in comparison. I can't really tell, but I've noticed that many of the actors had filipino names, I wonder if my friends from Indonesia would notice it. But it's crazy how similar everything is to how it looked in my head! Normally I don't enjoy movies this old, but this one was great! I just think Sukiyaki would have been a great choice for music track during the credits, it was mentioned in the book as a reoccurring theme of Hotel Indonesia

Despite the limitations, like was not being able to conduct the filming in Indonesia and had to do that in Philippines.. I think the producer of this film had done a great job at portraying Indonesia during 1960s. First, they got all the weapons & uniforms correct. Second, Linda Hunt, her acting as a dwarf chinese-Indonesian man is convincing.. at first I didn't even know the actor was woman (Linda Hunt).
