- If my memory serves me right,it was 15 years ago when i watched this movie for the first time while it was newly released in China.I can say that i was greatly impressed by the beautiful,tranquil landscape of English country and also by the emotional story.
And if my memory serves me right I think Daddy was Ian Cuthbertson who I knew as a Lt in my regiment where he was doing his National Service. I am ninety, how the years had gone by.
@Batphink Reynolds Amen.
Thank you for your service. I hope you are well xxxx
You still alive?
@@OndaBoosters disrespectful.
This scene always made me cry as a child. My father passed away recently and it pains me so much to know I can never run into his arms again.'Daddy!My Daddy!'
Same here x my dad died 16 months ago and tomorrow would have been his birthday. Id give anything to give him a massive hug and never let him go x
SarahSings you will one day in heaven, and you’ll never be separated again x
My Dad died in 1996. And I still cry my eyes out at this. Men are allowed to, you know.
My lovely Dad passed 28th December 1999, very suddenly. No matter how many years pass you never forget or stop lovimg the people who were and still are SO precious in your life ❤
@@staffsyeoman There is no shame in that mate, it just shows you loved your Dad and are human .I am sorry for your loss and hope you see him again in the next life, because the human mind is too powerful to cease to exist.
As a 59 year old woman still watching clips from when i was 8 .this still is etched in my heart, If only i could embrace my Dad one more time ,,
RIP Bernard. Shed a tear this morning. There throughout my life and particularly my childhood - Dr Who, Carry On, Wombles, Jackanory and many, many others. But it was the Railway Children that will be my favourite of his performances. Humour, pathos, kindness and the sort of lovable, funny uncle we'd all love. An absolute legend. 'Let Perks be about it!'
Don't forget "Dangerous Davies: The Last Detective". A very talented actor. I'm not sure if the Railway Children was his best performance but it's definitely one of his most popular.
There's something so haunting about 1:50 onwards. As if to say, despite the happiest of moments, there is also a very dark and traumatic underlying tension to what has gone on, to which Bobbie can no longer be ignorant of. She's grown up through this experience and now can no longer see through the rose tinted glasses she's been looking through which she's been gazing for the majority of their time by the railway. Her walking away from the house, leading her siblings is like her wave goodbye to childhood and innocence. For someone who grew up with this film, it's one of those poignant moments where the art imitates how you feel. I've grown up and no longer see life so simply as I once did, just in the same way in which Bobbie now does in this moment. It all serves to show this film truly is timeless, as a child you can watch and relate to their childlike wonderment of their adventures, then as an adult you can appreciate the beauty of that innocence in the stark contrast to the dark adult themes which sneak through only now and then. Perfect.
Very well put sir. I do think that that scene if quite haunting. It's very melancholic - probably a combination of the dialogue and the music "We're not wanted there, not for a few minutes anyway. I think it would be best for us to go quickly and quietly. We'll go to the end of the field, among the thin gold spikes of grass". For some reason, I've always associated these lines with dying (I've not idea why!)
Just has me choked up even before the daddy my daddy line... This always got me tearing up.. but even more so now I have a daughter ....
Still brings tears to my eyes, and i'm a 42 year old man! My dad died in april 1991 and when its my turn to go i hope that when i meet him in heaven again we will greet eachother like that!
I'm 53 and my dad died in June 1991. Of late, I am missing him and my mum (Feb 2016) terribly.
@Batphink Reynolds Thank you for your very kind words, very uplifting indeed, especially during this time with this lockdown. I extend my sincere best wishes to you and your family, please stay safe and well.
@@itsacarolbthing5221 My comment is from 8 years ago and I am now replying to you with the sound down, I will be 51 in August, It can still get to me. Stay safe and well, your dad died not long after mine. My sincere condolences to you. Do you know what really hurts Carol B? My dad didn't see my two children that were born in 1999 and 2004, he would be so proud of me , I hope. If we could see our dad again Carol B, we will tell them of the things they missed, stay safe and well.
@@Loverboy19691 that's the thing, isn't it? All the things we want to share with them. Lots of love xxx
It’s like reading what I’d write. Same age, same time. Still miss my dad very much. I miss him when I’m trying to do something practical and can’t speak to him about it to get advice. I miss our long talks about mad conspiracies and recommending books and videos. I miss him having not seen my garden as we did that together from when I was a small boy. I miss that fact that he wasn’t around to not approve in my choice of partner, or visit my new house. It’s all the funny little ways we miss the departed that catch you when you least expect it.
One of the few times I ever saw my father cry when I was a child was at this scene.
I'm nearly eighteen, and I cry more and more at this scene every time.
Hey man , I'm guessing you're maybe 21/22.Hope life has been good.
British and gentle. No hint of vulgarity. Naturally.
I grew up with this film and this scene never made me cry but now I’m older it never fails to make me shed a tear
Lionel Jeffries was a true talent....directed with such a light touch.
i saw this film as a child .i am now 50...i remembered this film throughout my life for its wonderful story and wonderful cast...i shall sit down with my grandchildren when they are a little older and watch it with them....i still cry at this scene..jenny agutter is just so believable as roberta..wat an actress...one of the worlds finest ...just beautiful.
Ellie I hope you did sit down with your grandchildren and enjoy this film?
beautiful tale of innocence I've cried so many times watching this wonderful film x
That quote tale of innocence reminds me of a plague tale of innocence
I'm a manly man and I cry at many scenes in the wonderful warm human drama. I cry at Bobbies Birthday party too. This is how I wish humanity was still, sadly the world is insane in 2024.
I'm 43 yrs old , and let me tell you this scene has always tore me to pieces ..... I lost my dad at a very young age ,,,,,, I wished he could come back to me on a train like this , I would do the same as she .
James I am SO sorry to hear of the loss of your Dear Dad at a young age. I personally believe you will see him again, God Bless you and yours and RIP your Dad!
Everyone always says that this scene makes 'grown men cry', so I googled it, thinking: "I'm not going to cry at this," because I rarely cry at films. I started watching, and within ten seconds I was in floods of tears. 😭
I posted a message two years ago, saying how my family enjoyed watching this film, and how my Dad was reduced to tears when watching the “Daddy, my daddy” moment. Sadly, Dad has died but I will always remember him when watching the whole of this film. Rest in peace, my train-mad Dad. Mum and I will love and miss you always (but my brother Richard will be with you).
So sorry for your loss and how could anyone not cry during this scene. I'm just revisiting my fave film of all time, Bless you and your Mum and RIP your Dad and Brother, I believe you will see them again!
@@batphink2655 Thank you for your kind words, which I will always appreciate.
Just the saddest and happiest scene ever, all rolled into one. Well done The cast and crew and the direction of Lionel Jeffries, it's never been bettered in my opinion.
All it takes is for someone to mention this scene and I get teary. Daddy, my Daddy.
This is a fantastic film, ever since my parents, my late brother Richard and I first saw it the 1970s. Mum, Dad and I saw this on Hong Kong TV in 1983 and enjoyed seeing the Yorkshire countryside so much. This particular bit was one that used to reduce Dad to tears. I continue to watch it and I will enjoy the memories that this film produces.
Really tear jerking scene. Not just the 'Daddy my daddy' moment but also Bobby saying the last lines of the film with the three of them heading off together. Really need to go up and visit the Keighley & Worth Valley railway.
Its a good day out looking round the filming locations.. took an ex up there a few years back n she really enjoyed the experience.. we stood on the same spot Charles Waterbury n Bobby embraced. A good day i wont forget in hurry.
I'm 60 and this just never fails to move me, such a beautiful warm film ,showing humanity at it's best and kindest unlike so much of the violence and filth shown today. Reminds me of my childhood being 7 when this came out.
Watched this lovely film so many times but it always makes me have a tear at that part when Dad gets of the train Brill film and brill acting
This is one of the most emotive scenes of any movie
The perfect, perfect scene. If tears tumble down your cheeks I applaud you all.
You really need to have a heart of stone not to shed a tear at the end of this wonderful all time classic movie.
beautiful ending I have a lump in my throat and my eyes fill every time I watch it a classic cant make films like that eney more very sentimental.
Another wonderful film on similar lines...The Amazing Mr Blunden x
Choked up watchin this.. 51yr old n i still tear up at this part..
I miss my dad so much, the world has never been the same since he went. .............if you still have a dad, tell him you love him.
Thank you for this. Remains the best "Railway Children" adaption by far!
My daddy is the words that make me sad every year but I have to remember my dear dad and I put myself up for it in memory of my dad whom I loved very much
No one can get through this scene without crying ❤️
Makes me cry everytime I see this film. Spent alot of time being dragged around Worth Valley Railway as a child (Where The Railway children was filmed) and now I get to drag my own! Happy memories as a youngster and now again with my own flock.
impossible to watch without shedding tears!
One of my fav scenes from TV , I was 10 and in love with Jenny Agutter. .. It was an escape from the madness ogoing on in Belfast at the time .. so long ago but beautiful
If that never to be forgotten scene doesn't bring a tear to the eye nothing will
Wonderful and fantastic bit of film history, then right in the middle of the scene.....an ad kicked in, THANKS YOU TUBE.
I can't think of a better use of music than in this film, especially leading up to the big moment on the platform
Love how Jenny Agutter, the actress, played "Bobby" in this version then played the mother in the 2000 version :)
Phew such an emotional scene .... so resignates with me ... I was 10yrs old in 1970 and we had a phone call at home to say my dad would be on the train after working 5 months in Argentina.
I’m crying so much this scene is so touching
"Daddy, my Daddy!". Love this movie.
2 scenes in film never fail to make my eyes water. This is one and the other is when the little boy in KES gets caned for nothing, I cry with him. Proud to be British.
1970 please. Since motion pictures began, the number of perfect ones, maybe you can count on the fingers on your hands. This is one of them.
The build up to this was also wonderful, with everyone at the station greeting Bobbie joyfully, and she didn’t know why.
My gripe with this is that the brother and sister were denied their own reunion moment. I have three children, and in that position I would want to see all the family as soon as possible.
As for the famous moment, it is beautifully done, with the gradually clearing smoke, the use of slow motion and freeze frame, and in particular the music.
What a Beautiful Film.
Thanks for posting this beautiful, sentimental scene, which I've loved since I saw this movie at the cinema, at the age of 10... The suspenseful reveal, the music, the joyful reunion... As Rip Cruncher says, it's perfect. Still brings a tear, without fail.
Slays me every time.
It's a pity Jenny's last line was cut short.
And now Jenny is in the wildly popular BBC “Call the Midwife” the similarities are incredible
This scene always makes me cry when she says "daddy my daddy"
I have just read Ben Lawrence's splendid piece on this film in today's Telegraph. His first word are 'Daddy, my daddy'. For me the tears that flow are not for a lost Dad, but for the overwhelming trusting loving innocence of a child for her father -- now epitomised for me at near 83 years old by my little girl aged just 8. How nearer to God can one get?
When this film comes on its OK...right up to the point when this scene comes on...then I have to leave the room....
This scene, and the scene where Roberta has a surprise birthday party and she's literally floating around the room. She says, 'Wouldn't daddy have loved this,' and I'm gone. Gone! GONE!
Gets me everytime, brilliant film
Incredible scene....very moving xx
Welcome back to the Family.
Sally Thompsett, who played the younger sister was actually aged 20 when this was filmed. She had her own car and lived with her boyfriend at the time. But she signed a contract banning her from revealing her true age to the press, or the crew during the filming - they didn't know and treated like a child on set. (Although I guess the costume helped)
"... nor anyone else is wanted now."
Wonderful touching words.
watching this on a sunday afternoon as a family, thats the best day (even though we all cry at the end and my mum can quote the entire film!!)
thanks for posting :')
Gets you, doesn't it? Every time.
gets me evytime ; ..)
Whe the father reaches the house and the children walk off across the meadow,does that piece of music have a name,I find it so haunting
It's the original theme for the film, written by Johnny Douglas
It is hauting isn't it (ha! reply after 4 years! Unfortunately, don't know the name of that peice of music but I bet if there is a soundtrack available, it'll be on it).
So has no one noticed the ghost that jumps off the wall at the end behind the children about 2:22 in top right corner
Looks like a piece of tree that fell down, probably put there by the production crew to hide the modern building in the background.
Yes, I've spotted it too. Thank you for pointing that out. I agree it is probably a tree falling down (see comment below), but I see what you mean about it looking like a ghost!
The most remembered scene, in my opinion, is when the children save the locomotive.
Jenny looks so good.
Absolutely:)
To the best daddy, my daddy Jim Marcus x
I find it difficult watching the whole film. Wet hanky time all the way through.
Every time.
Every time 😥😥😥😥😥😥
Forgot to add......... R.I.P. Bernard Cribbins.
love her
I always loved to imagine what she was thinking at 0:56 "She's happy. I hate her"
I love the novel
'Daddy!! My Daddy!!!'
check out the original version of this movie. thanks.
Lol it was filmed down the road from me
At 1:20 it sounds like the scene was filmed in an aviary.
I can only imagine what the girl said to her younger brother and sister.... "Just got a telegram saying Daddy wont be coming back and Mummy is blaming you both so you must run away and never return." whilst thinking to herself "He is my daddy and no one else's, not even yours" Unless she is taking them from the house whilst Mummy n Daddy have a quickie haha. Now on a serious note....very sweet scene.
Six foot three Millwall supporter approaching fifty and I daren't watch this scene with anyone else in the room
Jenny kept her clothes on in this flick....
'Mummy why is daddy in prison?' - 'Because he's Charlie Endell' !
every fricking time......
aww
was i only person who saw the ghost that climbs over the wall ?
Me too.
I Think it was a piece of tree placed to hide the modern farm buildings in the distance...whooops. Another scenic artist loses his job!
I wonder if it’s really black widow under there.
Mark Kermode brought me here.
Try the H.P.
It's, well, established.
Can you post to QQ or Youku? Would love by gf to see this...
That is a Kurb Kings Dismissal.
2:14?
That's no ghost
...that's Predator!
How is she so short
Is this some deep. existentialist question?
Total snot fest (again...)
jenny marry
ME
I really have to watch this version because I've only seen the 2000 version with Jemima Rooper as Bobbie. Being nearly full-blooded English myself, I found Rooper's sharp black eyes and Botox looking lips quite unnatural for a little English girl. (Never mind the fact she was actually born & raised in Britain, that doesn't count these days.) She was also ... well...how shall I say...kind of hard on the eyes. Horse face. Acting was mediocre at best. From what I've seen of this version, it looks more natural all the way around and not as pretentious and sanitized looking as the 2000 version.
