The powerhouse ending to John G. Avildsen's 1970 drama "Joe", with Peter Boyle, Dennis Patrick, and Susan Sarandon. As featured on "A Decade Under the Influence".
It's ugly. What's scary is we're currently in a cycle of history not altogether unlike the urban warfare in the streets after MLK and RFK were murdered as well. Trump is the latest example of Joe only with lots more money and power and meanness than Nixon ever publically talked about. Listen to the Nixon tapes about All in the Family and homosexuality in 1971. Nixon was Trump with a lot more restraint on camera. It's on RUclips too.
it's possible Joe killed Compton after the final scene and got away clean leaving dead bodies and the cops would assume Compton killed all the hippies and his own daughter.
@@steamboatwill3.367 good idea if Compton killed Joe that would have been a better ending he's so enraged at what Joe forced him into he kills Joe but then what happens? Compton would have to drive back to the city with Melissa's body in the car and confess to the police and make sure Melissa gets a funeral then Compton goes to prison for his murder spree.
@@moviesgalore9947 ) or (worse?), he'd off himself after..... also, maybe some who were shot survived and could testify and certainly the girls who were left at the party would know.
ironically the actor who played Joe, Peter Boyle, was protesting the Vietnam war and running from the police two years previously at the 1968 democratic convention.
@@rossdiamondthief6627 this movie is still really unknown... largely do to the fact that it was so controversial in the 70's, not a lot of theaters showed it. it's not like a bunch of stoner hippies wanna watch this movie at midnight either.... this is a MAGA's wet dream.
RIP PETER BOYLE 😢YOU WILL BE MISSED BY ALL THE FANS YOUR A NATIONAL TREASURE HE IS SO AMAZING AND SO TALENTED, AND SO YOUNG IN THE 70S YOU WILL BE MISSED PETER BOYLE 😢
I think Compton would have killed himself after realizing he killed his own daughter. That is the most likely thing to happen after this scene he would never be able to tell his wife what happened it's a tragic ending and it shocked audiences in 1970.
very true , I mean how do you go home to your wife and say , ahhh ya honey I accidently killed our daughter, no doubt he would have offed himself or entered prison
Boyle never said he didn't want to do more violent movies. He said he didn't want to be typecast as "Joe" types, and therefore turned down playing Popeye Doyle in The French Connection. And yes, he was annoyed with being so closely associated with the role. People who cheered on Joe's thoughts and actions were missing the point of the movie. He was not supposed to be as lovable as Archie Bunker. In fact, he was supposed to be repulsive.
I loved this movie when i saw it in college long ago...ending is still shocking...only problem with this post is that it cut off too soon..the song is wonderful and very hard to find
The hippies in this should have read "The Whole Earth Catalog." Complied by an ex-Marine hippie, it stressed the need for any farm commune to have a few guns for hunting and defense.
Peter Boyle once described this movie in an interview "Archie Bunker with bullets" but did not want to go any more about the movie, It was this movie that Peter Boyle stated he did not want to be involved in anymore violent movies, hard to believe John Lennon was his best man at this wedding
This film came out when I was 6, and I'd never seen or heard of it till 1998, when a friend of mine (a 60's teenager) showed it to me. It was never shown on free or cable TV in the 70's-90's, for obvious reasons. What an ending, and I saw how it could have inspired All In The Family.
@glimmer2158 I think he mellowed a bit by Taxi Driver, but its true the guy turned down many high-profile "star-making" roles because of the "positive" reaction the final murder got from many audiences. Most famously, Popeye Doyle.
then you would have a hard time believeing (and trust me I did to) Peter Boyle did not like people on the streets thinking he was exactly like the character that he played, he did not like when people were cheering in the theater and,,,,,,,,,,,,,picture this,,,,,,,,,,,,,he was good friends with John Lennon
Oh, the Sturm und Drang over this movie when it premiered. Never did see it. I remember the movie posters in the Coming Attractions glassed-in recessed places in movie theater lobbies. One poster has Joe with his shotgun slung over his shoulder holding a target with the picture of a hippie-looking woman on it. The whole media campaign for Joe (1970) was very visceral.
Always loved the the commune house setting with the mountains in the background - it was filmed in Rockland County, New York. Anyone have know exactly where this was?
ok well people listen idk which part of it and all but the bar used in this film was owned by my grandfarther cool right he and my uncle were given extra roles in the film
the portrays white guys, middle/upper class executives, working class tools and middle/lower class "hippies" as hypocritical scumbags.... So the film actually is "woke"
Crap I was wrong about this movie. I thought it ended where he took Sarandon's character into a cavern and left her there in the dark. Wish I could remember which movie that was
You've probably answered your own question in 6 years, but just in case not -- the film you're looking for was "The Other Side of Midnight" -- it's one of my "guilty pleasures"... I was just watching JOE from 1970 & saw your question so I thought I'd answer it. It was about a pilot who screwed over a sweet French girl with promises of marriage then abandoned her. She found them years later and he (and his once again French again-girlfriend) tried to lure and abandon Susan in a cave. She actually survived and was taken in by a convent of nuns and the lovers were both hanged for attempted murder. There, you don't have to find it now, it's very difficult to get on cable and online if I remember. You're welcome!
So Susan Sarandon gets shot at the end, and it's supposed to be a "sad" ending? lol Seriously, it's a good movie. Listening to Peter Boyle mispronounce the word "orgy" is worth the admission alone.
I see from the comments that the hate is still strong among those who are most afraid of change, or someone or something different. There haven't been any hippies since seventy three, find another boogie man, there are many minority scapegoats out there.
I think this movie also is a great metaphor for how the working class and the capitalist top killed the hippie movement by uniting in their hate towards it. The workers, who were the back bone of the Left movement, who were the people behind the unions in the 20's and 30's, were disenchanted by the radical social policies advocated by hippies, who have overtaken the movement in the 60's, and leaned towards Republican politicians, who cracked down on the hippies in the 70's.
Yeah, thats part of the picture...but many of the unions had gone mob corrupt from the mid-50's on...THAT did not help. And it is the Civil Right's movement that really boiled to the surface...had little to do with the Hippies...if anything, it's the Hippies that got traction from them. Once MLK was shot....the power of the CR movement split...and the radical edge of the movement separated, and was stomped out by Nixon's illegal FBI programs.
ahh Don "crack down on hippies" Think about this for a minute , how would they feel about life style today, rap music, guys walking around with pants hanging down, President Obama, Gay Marriage, etc
How would anyone cheer on Joe killing young people ,? Sic) I was 16 when this movie came out the point of this movie was the hatered some older people had towards the youth of America hippies. Bigotry right wing conservatives who have a one track mind my way or no way. In reality we were right Nixon was a crook Watergate etc. All we wanted was peace & love that was one time in history the youth would rise up all over the world against the establishment. Student power the youth rebellion was in full force in 1970 for every student that was clubbed a 1.000 more would take his or hers place they could not fight that we were the( majority) 53% were under 30 love always wins over hate.
It would never make one bit of sense how anyone could cheer, if they did some research on this film, Peter Boyle himself went to a theater and sat all the way in the back not to get noticed and said he was very turned off by hearing people in theater cheering at the end, he was very put off from that and if you read about Boyle , he insisted he does not want to play that type of character again. He said people thought thats how he is in real life
Not a single gun was actually fired all dubbed sound and angles lol. Looks so weird the way they point the gun and the actors pretend to fall lol. I guess it was cheaper that way.
@glimmer2158 I dont know Glimmer thats what I read, I also heard on an interview that after he did the movie people were coming up to him on the street and calling him Joe, which he in a pissy way said, I am not JOE
Avildsen did a nice job directing this with almost no money. And Peter Boyle was really kind of scary in this. I still think this ending is kind of hard to swallow. You shoot nine people over stolen wallets?
@@christiannationalpartymnoa5300 Yeah, it's about killing people that refuse to live the way YOU think is "normal", it's what happens when people are raised to lower the value of a person's life, all you have to do is give them labels like "outsiders" or "immoral"
To make things worse, Peter Boyle had a hard time shaking this character off, many people on the street were calling him "Joe" and he did not like that one bit and people thought Boyle was like that in real life ,
well the one thing that leaves you wondering, Where does Compton end up from here, how does he explain this to his wife, does he commit suicide, does he shoot Joe, I dont imagine you can go ahead in your life if you just killed your daughter
That wouldn't be true to 70's nihilism. The monsters must get away. This type of ending makes the experience a lot more powerful. What we feel here is for Bill, not Joe.
but I feel compton would have either done one or the other, commit suicide or end up in prison the rest of his life, I would never picture him coming home to his wife saying, Hi dear, just shot our daughter, but like you say , it would be more about Bill
@Michael Anderson Mike it wouldnt go that easy, Compton KILLS his own daughter, it would tear apart anyone , even if he kept it from his wife and others
Yes Bob but you have to stop and think about this, if there was an extra 5 minutes to this film, Compton would have a. shot himself b. shot joe and then turned the gun on himself or c. waited until the police came to end up in prison,, there was no winners at the end of this film when you think about it, he was just too weak minded to stand up to Joe
So you think it is normal to go shoot and kill a bunch of people over a stolen wallet? The idiot ends up killing his own daughter in the end, and you say that alright?
it's never brave to shoot unarmed people,its actually pretty cowardly. Great movie,really shows what been going on from then to now. So much has changed,yet stayed the same. The 60s and 70s started this division in our country.It won't end till JESUS comes back. Then you will see TRUE JUSTICE.
and in the end Compton, who is supposed to be an educated man, kills his daughter at the end, I wish they added another 5 minutes to the end of this movie, Compton would have killed himself in reality
The movie was great due to, the fact the early seventies were very explosive with Nixon's promise to get us out of Vietnam. Also, the Drug Compensation Control and Substance Act of 1970 gave Cannabis a Scheduled 1 Drug. Stuffing our jails with potheads and turning them into criminals.
I predicted what you would say verbatim lol. I knew you were going to ignorantly call my picture anime when it actually isn't and I knew you would have no argument and resort to your insults like all leftists do when hit with facts. Maybe in 4 years when you SJW crybabies learn to change your attitudes and engage in conversation and debate instead of name calling and playing victim you guys can successfully win the white house.
70s were a golden age for Hollywood movies
Also 80s and 90s. There was a good 30yrs of classic movies being made
Wow, Tarantino didn't exaggerate-- that ending is fucking wild.
I just started reading his book.
It's ugly. What's scary is we're currently in a cycle of history not altogether unlike the urban warfare in the streets after MLK and RFK were murdered as well. Trump is the latest example of Joe only with lots more money and power and meanness than Nixon ever publically talked about.

So does anybody know the name of the song that plays during the closing credits?
ITS ON HERE...where are you going joe by jerry the iceman butler....GREAT SONG !!
Peter Boyle was so embarrassed by his role as Joe, he would tuck his head, as it turned red, when walking the streets of Manhattan
The ending reminded me of American history X in some ways

Best line in the movie was when Joe tells the college ho he doesn't need any foreplay before banging the muff.
If you would like to see another fine 70s film with Peter Boyle, then look up Friends of Eddie Coyle.
a question for you all, what do you think could have happened to Compton after the shootings
Didn't you ask already? (or was that someone else?)
well, my take is that he would shot/or beat Joe and then offed himself.......
Why did he have to kill Dave Grohl at 3:00
Heard he was big liberal in real life he could have turned down the part
The other actor is Dennis Patrick, better known as character of vaughn leland from "Dallas" fame. His character was on the short list for who shot JR.
He once turned up on "All In The Family" as a salesman who tried to screw Archie.
So Susan Sarandon gets shot at the end, and it's supposed to be a "sad" ending? lol
Seriously, it's a good movie. Listening to Peter Boyle mispronounce the word "orgy" is worth the admission alone.

What did Frank Barowne do to your daughter?
