A stunningly beautiful, inspiring, and powerful film. Sooooo underrated and underappreciated. Affected my life deeply since I first saw it at the age of 17 when it came out, and continues to do so today, 30+ years later.
I was 23 when this came out. None of my gf's would go. 1st movie I went to alone. Cannot express what it brought out within me but I left that theater knowing I was going to have a wolf. One wk later I found my first wolf hybrid 80%, Akla. Yana, his mate followed a yr later. Had 4 litters. 37Yrs later, numerous hybrids and wolves, training and rescue. All due to this movie. I have one pr now, Esuqtak Atka and Quillaq. Wolves have become a part of me. 2mo. later,, June 26th 2020 4days ago my pr have had a litter of five gorgeous babies!!💜💜💜😂
My dad's favorite film of all time. The only one he has ever watched start to finish without falling asleep! I'm impressed to see someone so young with such a deep appreciation for it, and an urgency to share it.
There is something magical about this movie. The sense of space, of loneliness, of life in the raw. Rarely have I been so enthralled by a movie so as to feel I was walking in the steps of the main character. And the wolves...oh lord, such magnificent animals, in their element. And we so much out of ours. One of my top 10 movies ever.
Then you OOTEK the savior. Tyler dies without Ootek to save him, to teach him. Oddly enough this was shot up around Atlin, BC, the THING was shot there a few years earlier.
Yes there is...The end is such a trip. It's like the life lesson you never wanted but it's broken to you easy. Sort of. It's probably why I don't like killing animals today. I would kill to eat or protect myself but never for money. I've seen wolves, coyote's, and foxes in the wild and I would never hurt one. I even saw a fox with her baby in the middle of the night on an abandoned trail 15 odd years ago and it's like this movie. The vibe changes.
you expressed exactly what i feel and think - thanks! (i just learnt about a month ago that Farley Mowat died in May this year and was very sad about it )
The First "MAN versus WILD" movie that I ever saw but it has intrigued me forever! Questions: Can i PASS the TEST? Like the Inuit , the eskimo's and indians.. of Northern Canada. I love the mix as Brian Dennehy is the half-crazy adventurer who risks his life and death every day! Facing our "mortality" every man and every woman has an "expiration date"..
My favorite thing about this film is the tone. This is a lonely, solitary, melancholy, yet funny film. It's simple feel is the perfect setting for it's complex ideas. A film like this today would be far more cut and dry with it's message of modern society is wrong, primitive cultures are right, and nature is pure and perfect. This film is so much more. Without preaching, or shouting in your face, it portrays the complexities of modern humans trying to understand and nurture nature, and that there are no simple answers. Tyler's struggle to understand is as complex and difficult as the wolves' struggle to survive. I need to find a copy of this and enjoy it on a quite evening.
Loved everything about this film since I rented it on VHS in about 85, introduced me to Mark Isham's music, loved the cinematography, the humour, one of my favourite films of all time, most people I mention it to have never heard of it......
I saw it around the same time and liked it, but I needed to see it again a little later in life to get that transformation that you mention. Few movies can convey 'nature mysticism' and life depth as strongly as this film in my opinion. What an unknown gem!
everyone here , I saw it when it first came out on the big screen . Wish We could all see it again that way Definitely changes you . Hits deep . Knocked me out with its beauty ! Its humour and the music and the end , so precious!!! I love everything about this movie .
One of the most beautiful movies ever made. Remember watching it on Lazer disc at 10 years old and being absolutely blown away. Thank you science teacher that I don't remember.
this film's narrative is poetry and I'm glad someone else like berserkerpoetry here shares this sentiment with me. I wouldn't mind if someone could post the whole film again.
Farley Mowat wrote another excellent book entitled "Lost In The Barrens", which was also made into a movie , albeit not on the same epic scale as this fantastic Carroll Ballard film . Read it to my two sons as a bedtime story years ago ; they liked it too . My all time favorite author of Northern Wilderness literature !
My husband and I watched this movie back in the early 80’s when it went to VHS. Of course we loved it. Here in 2020 I still think about this movie. I have shared this trailer with friends.🌲❄️💨❤️
Such a beautiful movie. Miss my dad when I watch this. We laughed at and admired this movie so many times in the 1980’s and 1990’s. This movie and Jeremiah Johnson👍🏻
I remember sitting alone in the River Ridge Mall theatre in Lynchburg Virginia when this came out, I was seven years old and knew I needed adventures. And I've had a few, and I'll have more 😆🇺🇸💞🇨🇿
My GOD somebody remembers this movie!!! I saw it as a kid and loved it!! As I recall, it was my mother that dragged my ass to go see this, but I enjoyed it and she fell asleep. : ) LOL!!! Thanks SO much for posting this!!!
BERSERKERpoetry , first time I saw this movie, it happened one thing I´ve never experienced : I was totally hypnotized. By the message, the soundtrack, the images, the reality I found about wolfs. I have a DVD since this. And probably saw it dozens of times. I still feel hypnotized.
This film almost sent on my way to become a field biologist. Then I realized I'm kind of stupid, so I went with the beer drinking, and a casual mouse dinner.
Image and sound that will never be forgotten in a lone humans eye, tranquil and disheartening all at the same time, it reminds me of a person I came across in my travels of living...mouse powell is the nomenclature, but bill is the speaker of life's stories that have meaning and resonate.
I'm so glad that young people all over the world have seen this. It was the first Disney money at so called "adult movies", they pulled off after this. It's so great but it doesn't necessarily sell. Love Ballard and Charlie for making it happen though. So now we have star wars
Saw the movie and it was awesome. Have the video recording from TV and still watch it from time-to-time. I love it even now. Would like to read the book though.
There was a period after leaving college when I thought I wanted to live in a fire watch tower in one of the National Forests. It might have a dream that this movie inspired.
I saw this as a kid after it came out but on laserdisc not in the theater. Wonderful film. However I would say a newer film that resembles the tone, themes, and struggle of man to understand his relationship with nature and "natives" is Terry Malick's The New World though it does have more characters and more "action", it also conveys the vastness of uncivilized regions and how small and fragile we really are in the face of it. I'll never forget watching THAT one at night in a near empty theater. The sound design alone was transformative.
The New World was certainly a beautiful film. Though for me, I always drift most toward the tales of near-total isolation. For me, nothing beats the beautiful loneliness of Never Cry Wolf. It's certainly had a huge influence on my own photography and short films through the years - not to mention my experience with nature in general. I keep up a list on IMDb called "Quiet, Personal Films". Perhaps you might find some you haven't seen on it to appreciate! www.imdb.com/list/ls000058732/
Hi :) I have seen this movie 2-3 times now, and i just love it, its realy good...to bad nobody can upload the hole movie on youtube... Best regards from Norway.
I saw this movie with my mom when i was a kid (about 8 or 9 yo) and never saw it again, however, i always remembered and didn't know the name untill now.
It was a powerful film and got great reviews and much acclaim. The film did well and we watched it whenever it came on TV. The green movement picked up some points with it, and environmental studies in colleges burst with new admissions. It was a smash and still remains a favorite today 2023.
i didn't know the title, only had few minutes recorded on a cassette. I have been looking for it for 6 or 7 years and now just found this excerpt. Thank you. I loved this film a lot; shame there is only one part to be seen on You Tube ! Thank you , is marwelous ! Any more to be seen ?
Movies from every time period are the same as others, sometimes you just have to look harder sometimes. Here's a good place to start - "The Snow Walker" (2003). It's directed by Charles Martin Smith, who's the star of "Never Cry Wolf", and it's also another adaptation of a Farley Mowat novel.
@@chrislist7456 It's not quite the same level artistically, but I did find it quite moving.

@@SteveSkafte I think I just expected more from The Snow Walker, given Charles Martin Smith's involvement in Never Cry Wolf and was just disappointed.

I hope you ended up watching it! It's a great movie and I can see why Jotaro likes it aswell
A stunningly beautiful, inspiring, and powerful film. Sooooo underrated and underappreciated. Affected my life deeply since I first saw it at the age of 17 when it came out, and continues to do so today, 30+ years later.
Me too, completely reinforced my need for wilderness
Same here! And I was 17 too. Amherst, New York USA
I totally agree

After 37Yrs and many wolves later they still remain a big part of my life! All due to this movie they captured my heart
One of the best movies ever, with a stunning lesson.
Jotaro made me discover this gem of a movie and I couldn't be more grateful
Mark Isham's score very much adds depth to each scene, as only he can.
My dad's favorite film of all time. The only one he has ever watched start to finish without falling asleep! I'm impressed to see someone so young with such a deep appreciation for it, and an urgency to share it.
Is your dad's name JoJo by chance?
Are you Jolyne?
Are you Coochie?
Are you a jostar
I like cookies...!!
This is my all time favorite movie. As an aspiring biologist, as a nature lover, and as movie goer, I cannot express how much I love this movie.
Jotaro sent me here.
+GoyaGokou I admit, i need to see the movie and figure out...why Jotaro has this as his fave film, it could speak voluems of him.
Omg yes 👌
Me too
yep
Same
It's a truly great film, unbelievably so. It never grows old for me.
No it doesn't

What a gift of a story! Thank you Farley Mowat! And thank you Carroll Ballard for making it into a very visual telling movie! RIP Farley Mowat...

Fun fact: this is Jotaro's Favourite Movie
Great movie with memorable music and brilliant cinematography.
Always loved this movie. Love it but also it makes me sad. Love the music score as well. Thank you Farley. We will miss you.
Thanks, Jotaro

+sheena holly Ah man, I out with friends after seeing The Force Awakens.
Wonder if I can find the Never Cry Wolf soundtrack...
Its in a 1985 Mark Isham collection titled “Film Music” released through Windham Hill Records
One of the best movies ever made. Period.
And the sound of the wolves , and the bassoon ! Perfect . And the perfect combo of Farley ,Carrol, and Mark , created a wonder to see .
I'm 43, this was the first movie I ever watched in a theater. I was 5 and I still remember scenes from this film. It's funny what stays with you.

everyone here , I saw it when it first came out on the big screen . Wish We could all see it again that way Definitely changes you . Hits deep . Knocked me out with its beauty ! Its humour and the music and the end , so precious!!! I love everything about this movie .
30 time watcher. I think the essence could not be as well captured as this.
One of the most beautiful movies ever made. Remember watching it on Lazer disc at 10 years old and being absolutely blown away. Thank you science teacher that I don't remember.
my favorite movie, hits the heart in that hidden spot we all want.
this film's narrative is poetry and I'm glad someone else like berserkerpoetry here shares this sentiment with me. I wouldn't mind if someone could post the whole film again.
.. and thanks for teaching me the
word berserkerpoetry! :) :)
Haha, it's just a username. My poetry is most of what I post on this channel. I've posted very little else.
MrHorsehelp yes this is a great flick, I like the isolation myself..great photography..and music...don't miss it..
movie is fantastic, my recommendation to watch, one of the better in my opinion :))
Right. It's such a great film you won't even spend the 2 dollars to pay to watch it. You'll just sit and wait till someone posts it for free. Lol.
The movie's a masterpiece.
This will always be in my top 10! Brilliant and evocative!
"Never Cry Wolf," the book, is also a worthwhile investment.
Linda Doreen Hicks Loder can you tell me who the author is?
J. Peters Farley Mowat. Legend.
Farley Mowat wrote another excellent book entitled "Lost In The Barrens", which was also made into a movie , albeit not on the same epic scale as this fantastic Carroll Ballard film . Read it to my two sons as a bedtime story years ago ; they liked it too . My all time favorite author of Northern Wilderness literature !
I read the book first - so glad I did - made the movie more enjoyable!
Absolutely beautiful movie - acting, content, and movie score.
I could not understand for the life of me when this movie did not get more attention everyone I ever asked if they did see it always say no.
It's because you didn't asked me.....Yes. (wink)
I have watched this movie several times and never get tired of it:)
Best movie ever. If you haven't seen it, you've missed something very special.
not to mention the cinema photographer and editor! just WOW .
Amazing.. I can't stop loving this movie :')

Been one of my favorite movies since I was 4 years old.
This movie is spectacular! A true Gem
RIP Brian Dennehy
I was peacefully reading Jojo manga and now I’m here
Edit: I watched it but still don’t seem like thing Jotaro would like
I don't think so
Am I the only one who can see Jotaro liking it?
Still wish I had this. Haven't seen it in years. Found out recently that my neighbor was a motel clerk in this and that they used his own motel.
Nice one, Jotaro.
What a brilliant video, nicely done. Like you, this is one of my very favorite films of all time.
A film sublime... in every way. The music!!! ❤
superb...on all levels...life changing film
MASTERPIECE ! Real story , the book was write by Mr Farley Mowat , excellent adaptation !!! ^^
this is my beloved movie - and the book by Farley Mowat as well! :) :)
Jarka Királyová Me too. It's unreal how much this connects with me.
Beloved. Well put. Me too.
this is what i grew up watching. wish i still had this movie.
I love that he Stay with the wolves rather than getting back to the sad life of the rest of the world :)
Ya know, the fact that Jotaro Kujo likes this 🤔
Les Stroud and Jotaro both loves this movie

Jotarno love this movie
Than 4 uploading this vid, i was absent on the day my clas watched this.
Awesome movie. Need to buy it.Seen it years ago and as a wolf lover it has been with me ever since.
I didn't realize then that this movie would last this long in my memory.

Re-membering of a timeless soul love...!!
I'm so glad that young people all over the world have seen this.
It was the first Disney money at so called "adult movies", they pulled off after this. It's so great but it doesn't necessarily sell. Love Ballard and Charlie for making it happen though.
So now we have star wars
I [ Max Waller - Max Rafael Waller ] enjoyed it in 1983 ....... it is a thought provoking movie about life
Saw the movie and it was awesome. Have the video recording from TV and still watch it from time-to-time. I love it even now. Would like to read the book though.
There was a period after leaving college when I thought I wanted to live in a fire watch tower in one of the National Forests. It might have a dream that this movie inspired.
One of the great movies of all time
Great movie, needs to be looked at again

One of my favorite films. This is a Disney film, but for some unfathomable reason Disney+ doesn't have it!
The movie does a great job creating an atmosphere as if your there with the actors.
Just bought the movie off of Amazon. I hope it's as spectacular as the book was.
One of the reasons I've always loved wolves and associated them with my lifestyle. Great film. I only wish I could see it in its' entirety here.
