I think the father is so stern because he had to take care of his mother and siblings when his father left the family,this left all the worry of the future on his young shoulders.
This story is an assignment for college. I was both reading the story and watching the film. I gotta admit the end made me cry of joy. Such an amazing family with a strong and fearless mother that reminds me of my mum. LOVED IT!
I loved in the story, how it said that she was shelling peas, like they were bullets, and the reverent realized that her meekness was out of sheer will. She DETERMINED to be meek, by gum! But when she put her mind to something, she did it. I really love this story. Every time, I get something new out of it.
Hard to understand how he could blow her off & ignore everything she said, but what she did he suddenly sees the light. & why he could explain things to the son, but just refuse to communicate with his wife.
Krystal Russell not all women understand men OR women....I HATE BEING A HUMAN & I HATE ALL that Humans Represent....bloody complicated painful NIGHTMARE. But THANKU for letting me know that there IS ACTUALLY HOPE at the end of this film. The beginning ANGERED me SO MUCH, I have it on mute right now as I type...& Iam SO NOT Going to watch anymore. This man reminds me of my dad & my husband 🤢🤮🥱🤧🤕😾👎🏽👊🏾....the fist is for them, men in my life.
"I had no idea." She spoke to him plainly, and all he could say was, "I got nothing to say," but then, "I had no idea." Why did he THINK she was speaking plainly to him, if it didn't MEAN anything to her?!
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Bryant Jayce thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thank you for uploading this film. I read the book that inspired it many years ago but could not think of the name so had to do some searching. Was happily surprised that a movie had been made based on the book.
So glad women today have options, and don't have to take men's crap. And bulldinky, he didn't mean to hurt her; he just flat out didn't care - period. His actions for 19 years.... And you wonder why there's feminists!
Oh hell naw, i would've blown a gasket if my man sat there at the dinner table and emptied the dirt out of his boots right there on my clean kitchen floor! I mean, come the heck on, being a submissive wife don't mean putting up with a piglet. Js
That's pretty funny ... you have to know there are people who think like that and, of course, it's wrong .... but freaking out isn't really going to help. You have to work like Sarah did to get your point across and to fix things.
Someone please could you explain the meaning of the book? First I've read it, than I've seen it, but I can't understand why he doesn't want to build the house but have buil the barn
He believes that she truly doesn't CARE about the house he promised her, when he proposed to her. After all, she lived in that old house, that was never even finished, and never complained once, in nineteen years. More than half of her life! So, if she never complained about it, surely she never cared. And if she never cared for such things as finished rooms, and parlors and larger butteries and promises kept, then the money was more practically spent elsewhere, building up the farm, so that it could endure, despite trials. He was doing his best to make the family prosperous, and able to make it through famines and pestilence and hard times, and thought there was no need for luxuries, like a fancy house. And because she had supported him, every step of the way, without a single complaint, he figured she thought the same way, too. When she did speak plainly, he thought she just had a bit of a bee in her bonnet about some pride, or other, wanting to have a nice parlor for their daughter to be married in. He just did not understand HOW MUCH it meant to her, since she only spoke about it, the once. But when he saw that she would actually act on it, he knew, and in that moment, he knew just how much he hurt her, putting off his promise for 19 years, and then actively breaking it, by building a barn, which was better housing than he ever gave to his own family. He realized that he had treated his livestock better than his family! And that SHE CARED that he had not treated her and their children as well as the cows. Really, when you read the book, you see... The description of the new barn is quite glorious. It's practically a chapel, it's so nice, and everyone knows it. But he just figured that the family's livelihood depended on the livestock and the crops, so he put his all into them, and gave the family the scraps, because, they didn't complain, so apparently, they were just humble, and didn't need anything to soothe their vanity and pride. He didn't understand that she wanted COMFORT, as well as a home to be proud of. She wanted her children to live in a home they could actually ENJOY, and not just survive in. And sometimes, building up material wealth is not as important as building up your FAMILY. He thought, all those years, that he was doing the best for his family, but because he didn't UNDERSTAND that it actually hurt her, his meek, patient, and uncomplaining wife, he just figured the wealth was more important.
To keep it somewhat short.. He cared more about making money rather than caring about whether or not his family was comfortable and happy. They had the bare necessities even though they could easily afford more. The husband was greedy and being a cheapskate when it came to things that actually mattered, even prioritizing the animals over his own spouse and kids. Maybe he thought his wife was just going to keep putting up with it.
@@Coryraisa Yep. And then, when she stopped calling him, "Father," and called him "Adam," he knew she meant business. "Adam, you come here." That was gently spoken, but that was a command that he dared not ignore. To do so would be to teach his children to disrespect their mother, and he couldn't have that.

Mother is a fine diplomat. A really valuable woman. An immeasurable benefit to her family.
I think the father is so stern because he had to take care of his mother and siblings when his father left the family,this left all the worry of the future on his young shoulders.
I never really thought about that. You make a really good point.
This story is an assignment for college. I was both reading the story and watching the film.
I gotta admit the end made me cry of joy. Such an amazing family with a strong and fearless mother that reminds me of my mum. LOVED IT!
Jr Medina what college course?
@@pressmin
It was for my literature class(:
Was it an assignment for u as well?
@@JM-ok6zq no, never saw this video in lit class. Read something else similar to this.
I loved in the story, how it said that she was shelling peas, like they were bullets, and the reverent realized that her meekness was out of sheer will. She DETERMINED to be meek, by gum!
But when she put her mind to something, she did it.
I really love this story. Every time, I get something new out of it.
Hard to understand how he could blow her off & ignore everything she said, but what she did he suddenly sees the light. & why he could explain things to the son, but just refuse to communicate with his wife.
This is real strength. Mother said it in a profound and serene way.
I played the character of "Rufus" @26.55
Do you still act?
I like the ending he admits he hurt her and it takes a true man for that. Not all men understand women.
Krystal Russell not all women understand men OR women....I HATE BEING A HUMAN & I HATE ALL that Humans Represent....bloody complicated painful NIGHTMARE.

I know what it's like for men not to be understood! Try walking 39 years of hell in my shoes men and women!
My dads didn't treat me like a woman at all.
@@lionessprincessbear2174
Oh, please see the end. It restores so much hope!
Also the little boy is such a sweetheart
I saw this years ago. Watching it again it's just as profound
Thank you! This was great!
Simply Beautiful!
Well made production with a fine performance from Amy Madigan
"I had no idea."
She spoke to him plainly, and all he could say was, "I got nothing to say," but then, "I had no idea."
Why did he THINK she was speaking plainly to him, if it didn't MEAN anything to her?!
"The Magic of Ordinary Days" best true story there is
Star Anna I’d HATED to have lived this true story & SO WOULD YOU!!!!
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Adonis Trevor Instablaster =)
@Bryant Jayce thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm.

@Bryant Jayce it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
Some people don't like change.
Thank you for uploading this film. I read the book that inspired it many years ago but could not think of the name so had to do some searching. Was happily surprised that a movie had been made based on the book.
"I had no idea," and tears now that's what they call a turn a round.
He had an idea…
Here is a link to the original short story: americanliterature.com/author/mary-e-wilkins-freeman/short-story/the-revolt-of-mother
But apart from that, something beautiful about a horse and buggy
poor lady, living in such hell with all her patience ):
I feel like her right now.
Pencka Gancheva THANK YOU!!!!! FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO CARES!!!!! Iam hugging you right now.
So glad women today have options, and don't have to take men's crap. And bulldinky, he didn't mean to hurt her; he just flat out didn't care - period. His actions for 19 years.... And you wonder why there's feminists!
Anyone in 2024🎉
Very good story...great women !
yes you go girl
LOved it...
Beautiful movie*
Cute and humble!
Oh hell naw, i would've blown a gasket if my man sat there at the dinner table and emptied the dirt out of his boots right there on my clean kitchen floor! I mean, come the heck on, being a submissive wife don't mean putting up with a piglet. Js
That was just outright disregard.
They apologize when they want you to put out.
Just beautiful I wish
Wow wodwrful
We watched this in class blue haired girl freaked out when he said me were created to think for women
That's pretty funny ... you have to know there are people who think like that and, of course, it's wrong .... but freaking out isn't really going to help. You have to work like Sarah did to get your point across and to fix things.
Lots of people thought like that in those days.
Lots of sexism, racism and ignorance ran rampant in those days.
the dude from JFK, "the guy couldn't do the shootin!" :D
Here i am with my last assignment and too lazy to read a story :v
Someone please could you explain the meaning of the book? First I've read it, than I've seen it, but I can't understand why he doesn't want to build the house but have buil the barn
I want to know too!

CHEESE VIBE
hehe i win
I have found ashtons channel
Later for them cows! Lol
They talk so weird. The I thought the lady was his daughter first calling him “father”
😂😂😂
Me too!!! But then I remembered that in those days spouses called each other _Mother_ and _Father_ especially farm families.
@@Coryraisa Yep.
And then, when she stopped calling him, "Father," and called him "Adam," he knew she meant business.
"Adam, you come here." That was gently spoken, but that was a command that he dared not ignore. To do so would be to teach his children to disrespect their mother, and he couldn't have that.
Damn, it would be so nice if women still dressed like women. This is so comfy.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm glad women don't have to wear those cumbersome dresses that inhibited free movement.
Love the women's clothing. Haven't worn britches in years, and don't miss em one iota.
So depressing we stopped watching, plus husband and wife, not titles Mother & Father.
