@adrianfisher9641 Exploitation of the poor, and lower level working class...as referenced by her hopelessness in the last scene. She got it, she understood it,.... Much like most people STILL DONT today. We live in a world where you do LITERALLY HAVE TO SELL YOUR SOUL to (a secret cult society, a college frat/soror, a Hollywood/music industry, a medical or military system, a pope mafia, etc.) ..to make it in this world. This woman, just didn't want to.... She was free, her own agent, no "handlers," middleman, or pimp... That's what she wanted. But in the end, she realized, like many of us.... it's hard to get out of the beast system and have your natural born, God given freedom. She saw that the system was rigged, we're all slaves to the system (of what "they" will allow us to be...). There are those in this world who believe that they are our gods.... No MAN is a god. For there is only one Gold, and our savior Jesus Christ. THAT is why HOLLYWOOD/music industry, etc work to blasphem God and his word at every turn. The metaphor of the wild, free horse in the beginning of this film, is very telling, and how the old expression of "braking in" a horse or a worker.... The true meaning is to "break their spirit." Spirit, another God given gift. And if the spirit/will is to strong to be broken down (as Satan works to break the spirit) then they work to put them down (in a multitude of ways). For me, this movie goes WAY BEYOND black/white, rich/poor, male/remale.... There are SO MANY LAYERS in this one film. I'd Love to get together with people and see the many points of view we could share.... Much Love.
I saw this movie only once when it came out in theaters. I have never forgotten Jane Fonda's character; broken, exhausted and used. Magnificent performance.
This must be one of the saddest, thought provoking movies I have ever seen. Such a stark indictment of the human misery caused by the great depression in the 1930's.

I quite literally bumped into him - and for him, you could tell it was an opportunity to meet someone new. He was so sociable. Usually, I found celebrities (of which you run into so many in West L.A.) to be very shy - but not Sydney; he was all smiles - and I ended up being the shy one!

Saw this on its release when I was 13. It was so strikingly depressing that I recoiled and chose to not think about it for days afterward. Now I realize it was a masterpiece. Captures perfectly the mood of the depression years and the futility present in so many hundreds of thousands of lives caught in that era with no work and little hope. Gig Young is the stand out for me. perfect characterization of a low rate, low brow emcee with his own chilling agenda.

My hope is for everyone who sees this film,.... to be stirred with questions that drive within them a passionate curiosity to seek out the truth. Answers. As it seems most people seem to be allowing their brains to atrophy with the daily mainstream news programming.
Thank you for posting such great movie. I watched a review on a TV show about Cinema here in Brazil in the mid 1980s. It is even better than what I thought. Jane Fonda, Michale Sarazzin, Gig Young and Susannah York deliver great performances. The direction by Sidney Pollack and the screenplay by Robert E. Thompson and James Poe based on the book by Horace McCoy are also splendid.
You said a mouthful!!! I agree. Most movies are for people who want to be "mindlessly entertained," ... They can't handle a movie that requires some brain calisthenics!
Nooooo. There are so many strong points, on so many different levels in this film. If I could start you out on the focus on WHO'S in charge in this film?, WHY are these people poor in the first place? Are they people being punished in society for something? ...They seem like most people with problems like everyone, so how did they become so desperate to be circus animals for the masses? There are SO MANY METAPHORS in this movie that even seem to apply to today. Seek, and you will find answers.
Just watched this for the first time and read McCoy's book too. How much humiliation do people down on their luck need to go through for a break ? I was glued to my seat .... I recommend the movie and the book.
How much humiliation? I agree.... Ive been watching people move like mindless zombies go in to take their dose.... just because their godvernment said "BOO!" There's so many layers here. So many....layers. I agree, I think this is a fantastic movie!!! I wish EVERYONE could see it, but wonder if they'd pick up on the many nuances.
Simply WOW!!!! All the hardship for all those people. I can relate when one is really down..not just down but....the meanings are there...the acting fantastic 😍😍😍 thank you 😊💟💟💟💟💟💟
What a film! You can see why it's such a celebrated classic. Much more a 'horror' film than any dystopian future sci-fi type story of our insanity and inhumanity-if this was what was really happening in our past, and in 'peace' time. The total dehumanisation of everything being a matter of money, and 'entertainment'.
Money + "entertainment" = Trump. I saw the film when it first came out and I was very impressed. Beautiful, moving, real. Great performances. The music by John Green went straight to the heart...
Me too, and I've rewatched it quite a few times ever since. "THEY SHOOT HORSES" was one of the most acclaimed US movies of that remarkable year (1969), along with "THE WILD BUNCH", "EASY RIDER", "MIDNIGHT COWBOY" -- i.e. the very start of the New Hwood era. I do remember they'd mostly released the dubbed version of it even in Paris, which happened to be a top one because Jane Fonda was dubbing herself in French too. (She already knew the language to perfection through her marriage to director Roger Vadim).
There are some good intelligent comments about this classic film, I suppose I should have expected the trite ones but it makes me despair when people cannot see the layers. Its as deep as 1984, but it's focused on the insanity that was, and still is, the un united state of america. The corporations and the controllers of the ordinary desperate people unfortunate enough to live there
The irresistible allure of the casino. Thousands still pour in to try their luck and millions still dream about it. There are worse places in this world. I've been to a few. Not to say it shouldn't be better.
Back in 1969 I was really into film and when I saw this film I thought it was the best movie I ever saw. Time and many other movies old and new have altered my opinion but it's still excellent.
I know a person who really enjoys scamming people. This individual brags about their exploits to anyone who will listen. They really think they're slick, if you know what I mean! They scammed themselves out of any future winnings along with my worthless friendship! LOL!
@@davidluck1678 True. These actors sign blood oath contracts (just like the musicians do) to get into "the club." These actors and musicians then turn out to be controlled by their "handlers."

It's all of us, who are controlled by the globalist elites as we have been signed off as property through birth certificate contracts, Social security numbers, job applications... The world is run through it's contracts that enslave us all.
Fonda made many of them, this was the beginning of her Oscar winning roll, Klute & then producing & starring in hits, got her Dad the Oscar for On Golden Pond.

It makes me wonder what the oligarch class will dream up at our expense. Im not looking forward to the next 4 years especially because my darling grandsons will be draft age.
Many people see this as indictment of capitalism and a condemnation of oligarchy. But pay attention. Bruce Dern's character? Competed before, won before, lost before, and came back for more. The sailor too. They knew the score. It was a chance to exchange one set of hardships for another for a while, stave off hunger, and get off the streets. Rocky keeps them going as best as he can. He's making money off of it, yeah. Or is he? As he said, all that stuff has to be paid for. He also knows the score. He's giving them something to live for. They're all volunteers. They dance, they give out. But his part is the most grueling of all. The marathon never ends for him. The showman's just giving people want they want.

My mom took me to see this when it came out. Of course I didn’t understand it at the time. I was 9. But I’ve watched it twice since. They just don’t make movies like they did back then. Hollywood had balls back then.
Main Opening Theme: The beautiful standard, "Easy Come, Easy Go"/Music: John Green - One of the most serious (and depressing) American films ever..... Whatever happened to Michael Sarrazin?
He was supposed to 🌟 in Midnight Cowboy, it didn't happen & his career never recovered, he continued to work but returned home to Montreal & died there a few years ago. Very sad.
Films like this don't exist today. The mentality of theater goers today is that of BATMAN, THE JOKER, ANYTHING DC COMICS, AND EXPLOSIONS ! SICK SOCIETY.....
In the independent movie world like films from A24 quality still exists. But the only way to see any of them in a theater is to live in a big urban center.
The thing is that, it will pass...even die hard Mavel,DC Comics , Si fi fans will have enough someday, and when that day comes ( coming soon now; numbers are falling), we'll get back...
Wasn’t it Bush junior who, when encountering the single mom with three jobs, congratulated, “ . . . Uniquely American, isn’t it? I mean, that’s fantastic . . . “
I like seeing the'60s Jane Fonda. when this came out, I was in middle school and did not see it. But in light of recent events, it feels like everything old is about to be new again... What freakish "challenges" will we gladiators need to put on to entertain the new emperor and court? Depression has begun. Question authority. Resist fascists and fascism.
Glad your curiosity drove you here. The great godvernment gods don't want people to have curiosity, that's a bad thing (my sarcasm), people might become educated, truly educated and learn things if they followed they're curiosity more often. Glad you're here.
Guess you had to be there. This movie is now considered a cult classic. At the same time you had Newman and Redford doing 'The Sting'. Add 'The Great Gatsby's, at the time, Australian kids were shown these at primary school, 5 to 12 years old. Thankyou for sharing it with a new generation.
America has been covertly dumbed down for a very long time through means of the Rothschilds/Rockefeller school systems. Reference the book THE DELIBERATE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA By Charlotte Iserbyt
This movie won Best Picture at the Oscars in 1970. I recall watching this movie on TV when I was a teenager during the 1970s. The movie is in excellent quality. I bought a cheap version on DVD, and it is poor quality. I hope they release this movie on Bluray and 4K disc.
I really wonder if they would.... This movie seems to cerebral for most people who just want to mindlessly sit back and be mindlessly "entertained." If it would be reissued, I think they may be afraid to many people would start to wake up.... Or they may be interested in seeing if people can recognize the layers of relevance to today.... just to test out their level of successful brainwashing of modern day movies, and mainstream programming.
The "Entertainment - Professional Sports" Complex is every bit as nefarious as the Military - Industrial Complex. At the Top, ironically - are the Bottom Feeders...the Producers, Directors, and Agents who feed on the "Hungry", and "Exploitable", who they see as nothing more than "Commodity"! As tragic, and horrific as they are - The Los Angeles Fires would, in earlier times when have been considered - "Poetic Justice"! If Humanity survives another century, people will look-back at both Hollywood, and the 1948 Creation of the State of Israel as being horrible Mistakes! - and strange how the 2 are intrinsically linked.
Everything seems to be intertwined. I agree with you on many levels. I believe the globalist elites are in control on all levels. Even all people in public office (especially president's) are paid actors, selected by the globalist elites, working for THEM not "We the people...." I could say so much, but often have my comments deleted, or ghosted. This entire world, (military, medical, godvernment, religion, education, police, legal, ...) EVERYTHING is run by the globalist elites. Even the pop runs the mob, and started the religion of Muhammad..... Not to mention the damage the covert interjection of COMMUNISM did to the US, or the bringing in of cult secret societies.... Don't get me started.

Hungergames sorrow ! Around & around. If I could weep, I would weep. Appreciate your posting.❤
It was filmed as if it was on stage.. perfect...
It makes me wonder what the oligarch class will dream up at our expense. Im not looking forward to the next 4 years especially because my darling grandsons will be draft age.
Поверь они очень плохо кончат. Те, кто ушёл пытаются предупредить тех, кто ещё ходит по земле.
and the last line in the movie sums up the title
Many people see this as indictment of capitalism and a condemnation of oligarchy. But pay attention. Bruce Dern's character? Competed before, won before, lost before, and came back for more. The sailor too. They knew the score. It was a chance to exchange one set of hardships for another for a while, stave off hunger, and get off the streets. Rocky keeps them going as best as he can. He's making money off of it, yeah. Or is he? As he said, all that stuff has to be paid for. He also knows the score. He's giving them something to live for. They're all volunteers. They dance, they give out. But his part is the most grueling of all. The marathon never ends for him. The showman's just giving people want they want.
:D This film is hysterical.
Thank You!
Sad movie.
Sad, but highly educational, AND RELEVANT!
Alot Of Great Actors In This And, I Probably Seen This, It Looks, Many Years Ago, But, I Was Only 7 years Old, When This Was Made, And, Sooo, I Probably Seen It In My 50's, B-lieve or Not, And, Do'nt Remems, And Or For Details, And, Ca'nt Even Indulge Momentarily This Timeframe, But Automatically, When I Seen How Young Jane Fonda Is, Here, And The Title, I Am All In, But, I Have Too Chores It, For Some Mins, And The Sailor☺️😅, ECT., I'll Be Back, Sooh Put Her ✋🖐️👏🤝There, The Film Depot, I'll Be Back Thru, Too Enjoy, And Rate. SOOO Thankyou, I Know It's Going TOO Be A Good One!!!
My mom took me to see this when it came out. Of course I didn’t understand it at the time. I was 9. But I’ve watched it twice since. They just don’t make movies like they did back then. Hollywood had balls back then.
NO DOUBT!!! I SOOOO AGREE!
Now days they're just making mindless movies for people who want to be "ENTERTAINED."
There are thoughtful authors and filmmakers exploring the human condition currently too.
Good luck keeping the kids off your lawn!
@xmillion1704
Not anymore.
Mindless idiots can be easily swayed
This MOVEI give inspiration for BIG BROTHER.
Main Opening Theme: The beautiful standard, "Easy Come, Easy Go"/Music: John Green - One of the most serious (and depressing) American films ever..... Whatever happened to Michael Sarrazin?
He was supposed to 🌟 in Midnight Cowboy, it didn't happen & his career never recovered, he continued to work but returned home to Montreal & died there a few years ago. Very sad.
A very young Bonnie Bedelia.
Jane styled her hair like Viva superstar .
I was smitten with Bonnie Bedila the pregnant patner oc Bruce Dern . She was in a xoap opera ,
She was also in both Die Hard movies.
Films like this don't exist today. The mentality of theater goers today is that of BATMAN, THE JOKER, ANYTHING DC COMICS, AND EXPLOSIONS ! SICK SOCIETY.....
In the independent movie world like films from A24 quality still exists.
But the only way to see any of them in a theater is to live in a big urban center.
I SOOOO AGREE with the original commenter here.
The thing is that, it will pass...even die hard Mavel,DC Comics , Si fi fans will have enough someday, and when that day comes ( coming soon now; numbers are falling), we'll get back...
They don't exist... yet I am watching it.
Yep, it's 2025. And reality is not what you think . . .
Hint: it's what's real.
Wasn't the author John Steinbeck. This movie is so memorable.
No, the author of the book was Horace McCoy.
It was a totally draining film to watch on the big screen...a very long time ago!
Back when we were expected to move our heads back and forth, to and fro!
@Roberta... What?
Old Cut-Em-Off Gloria just needed a little charm in her life. We all do.
"Battling to win isn't it the AMERICAN WAY? " the AMERICAN way isn't it great? Nothing like it😅
Cretin.
Wasn’t it Bush junior who, when encountering the single mom with three jobs, congratulated, “ . . . Uniquely American, isn’t it? I mean, that’s fantastic . . . “
@@xmillion1704sounds like the shrub...
I like seeing the'60s Jane Fonda. when this came out, I was in middle school and did not see it. But in light of recent events, it feels like everything old is about to be new again...
What freakish "challenges" will we gladiators need to put on to entertain the new emperor and court?
Depression has begun.
Question authority.
Resist fascists and fascism.
I was a child when this movie comes to italy, and this title maked me curious...not the usual hollywood's movie
Glad your curiosity drove you here.
The great godvernment gods don't want people to have curiosity, that's a bad thing (my sarcasm), people might become educated, truly educated and learn things if they followed they're curiosity more often.
Glad you're here.
@RobinL-x6j ✨️✨️✨️
So sad.
But INCREDIBLY EDUCATIONAL ON SOOOOO MANY LEVELS!!!!
Grandpa from The Munsters
Reminds me of circus diablo
Hanoi Jane literally just plays herself.
Yes, this certainly looks & sounds like Viet Nam.
Her work out video tape.
@@johnsmith-ht3sy 👏😂
I bet they think this film is about them. Don't they? Don't they!? Don't they!!?
Hi
Can people stay awake for WEEKS?😮
this was the inspiration for squid game i presume
Like watching vampires
🤺💐
Like reading the Bible in learning lessons.
Guess you had to be there. This movie is now considered a cult classic. At the same time you had Newman and Redford doing 'The Sting'. Add 'The Great Gatsby's, at the time, Australian kids were shown these at primary school, 5 to 12 years old. Thankyou for sharing it with a new generation.
America has been covertly dumbed down for a very long time through means of the Rothschilds/Rockefeller school systems.
Reference the book
THE DELIBERATE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA
By Charlotte Iserbyt
This movie won Best Picture at the Oscars in 1970. I recall watching this movie on TV when I was a teenager during the 1970s. The movie is in excellent quality. I bought a cheap version on DVD, and it is poor quality. I hope they release this movie on Bluray and 4K disc.
I really wonder if they would....
This movie seems to cerebral for most people who just want to mindlessly sit back and be mindlessly "entertained."
If it would be reissued, I think they may be afraid to many people would start to wake up.... Or they may be interested in seeing if people can recognize the layers of relevance to today.... just to test out their level of successful brainwashing of modern day movies, and mainstream programming.
Nope...try Patton...
Wrong.
Gig Young deserved his lowly oscar in this. The angry toxic bint, all talk and too scared to do herself in is why this is so infuriating a watch.
Whoa, who hurt you then?
@@pipfox7834
Obviously a woman hater.
The "Entertainment - Professional Sports" Complex is every bit as nefarious as the Military - Industrial Complex. At the Top, ironically - are the Bottom Feeders...the Producers, Directors, and Agents who feed on the "Hungry", and "Exploitable", who they see as nothing more than "Commodity"! As tragic, and horrific as they are - The Los Angeles Fires would, in earlier times when have been considered - "Poetic Justice"! If Humanity survives another century, people will look-back at both Hollywood, and the 1948 Creation of the State of Israel as being horrible Mistakes! - and strange how the 2 are intrinsically linked.
Everything seems to be intertwined. I agree with you on many levels. I believe the globalist elites are in control on all levels. Even all people in public office (especially president's) are paid actors, selected by the globalist elites, working for THEM not "We the people...."
I could say so much, but often have my comments deleted, or ghosted.
This entire world, (military, medical, godvernment, religion, education, police, legal, ...) EVERYTHING is run by the globalist elites. Even the pop runs the mob, and started the religion of Muhammad..... Not to mention the damage the covert interjection of COMMUNISM did to the US, or the bringing in of cult secret societies.... Don't get me started.
Great movie, in Spain titles "Danzad, danzad malditos"
This is what capitalism does to working class people.
bleak house
First time watching this and I see such striking resemblances to Sigourney Weaver and Cillian Murphy in the lead actors, it was uncanny.
A better question is: Do they shoot horses?
They Don't Shoot Horses, do they?
Of course they do.
Yes, when they break a leg.
I can't watch the traitor Jane Fonda in anything.
Just troll her, too bad, you've missed some great movies, see Coming Home? About veterans. 9 to 5 also, different kind of veterans.
Serve your godvernment gods,
or "We the people....."
You choose.
@@RobinL-x6jNot in Amerikuh, Electoral College has handed off White House to losing GOP twice this century & rolled back Roe v. Wade>protecting actual living children with gun control.
Then there was Hanoi Jane !
Still calling her that after all these years … sad !?
Stupid comment
Let it go..what mistakes have you made??
Never betrayed my country ! Thank you
Forgive but wont forget !
No one ever needs an excuse to do that to Hanoi Jane.
Century ago, dud, move on, you didn't even have internet to troll her when it happened & she's apologized ever since, why don't you go get arrested with her in a climate protest, many have.
@@unowen-nh9ov
Thank you!!!👍
Quite possibly the worst film I have ever seen in my life, in any language.
Quite certainly because you didn't understand it
How old are you? That's your answer.
Funniest comment I’ve heard.
@@s.p.8803 That is always a possibility with foreign language films. Despite American and English being substantially mutually intelligible there are cultural and social differences between the US and Europe which may have occurred. I thought the film just took fat too long to make a simple point. It would have benefited from substantial editing. You seem to have enjoyed it, Fine. I was just bored and felt it an utter waste of my time.
That 'Locust' film with Karen Black much worse.

This movie portrayed dystopian society far better that today’s movies that rely on amped-up graphics & 4th grade dialogue.
