What a great man. I met him and shook hands with him one year before he passed away. He talked to about going to school and encouraged me to get a good education. I was 17 years old and didn't really understand what he meant at the time but now I do at 77 years old
Can you tell us more? Are you from Tennessee?
Tennessee gave him alot of ground.
My Daddy loaded cattle for Alvin York when he was a boy and Dad had nothing to say about him but good things.
Ray Eldridge i wish I could have met York
wow that must have been so cool,,
York was a killer.
My Dad's grandmother was Alice York... Alvin's mother's cousin. Their house was on "Alice Court".... in Newport AR.
@tdcrud413 it is entirely possible that WE are related.
This movie was made 1941 at the beginning of our involvement in World War II. York's internal debate was this nation's debate until Pearl Harbor was attacked. This debate is still one worth having both as an individual and as a nation.
No man eager for violence is fit for service. But the man who sees it as the last option by a caring world may well be the best fighter among us
@@CodaMission you just gave me chills
@@CodaMission what you say was true but in these new times we need the most violent obedient of fighters. Honer is gone only survival matters, by any means that is what will save our country. Example if China invaded only the hardest and ruthless of people could fight back a million man army of brainwashed communist that see people as flies.
@@eiii5843 Yeah, only problem with that is that you'll be fighting communists to the front and Marxists (those who think America is too white, too male, too cisgendered, and ultimately too Christian) to the rear. The Marxists will undermine you at every turn, and in the end it will be their faces that you see in your last moments.
@@1966johnnywayne who said that’s how it would be and not forcing them to the front or die enemy at the gate style to thin them out.
Every man in America needs to watch this scene.
They should watch the whole movie. Later, he is offered a lot of money to advertise cereal. He turns it down because his endorsement of something he had never tried would be lying.
Also, it would be enough, I think, if we could just get every member of the congress and senate to watch it.
and Woman.
Agreed
@@Schrankerle In the light of recent events, I believe that there are people in congress who wouldn't give two hoots for Alvin York, his beliefs or his heroism. Alvin York fought for his country and his people. He didn't do it for personal gain or power or glory. So many congress men and women are not even fit to shine his boots.
@Arthur Scott whataboutism, they're not President are they
" a government of the people , by the people and for the people ..." those words have lost their meaning in the times we live in ..
I agree. We have a corrupt government. Controlled by greedy men and women. Who only think of themselves. How much can I make. Not what's good for this country. Republicans and Democrats. This country is in a world trouble. Morals are going down the drain. God help us.
People twist the Constitution as the way they twist God's word
citizan soldiers via the draft not all pros
I suspect that the corruption was from the found ing
George, i wonder if that was ever true. Seems like ppl have always been fighting to make that come true but never actually experienced it. Maybe it was intended that way.
My Great Grandfather was a Gospel preacher in the church of Christ, which Alvin York and his family were members. My Great Grandfather would sometimes preach and attend Worship service with Alvin and his wife. He always said that there wasn’t a finer man alive than Alvin York.
That’s wonderful. This one of my favorite movies. I visited his home/museum many years ago. What a great American story.
What a great post! The best preachers are in the hollers :) My family traces it's heritage back to the eastern coal hills of Kentucky. About 10 years ago, my wife discovered she married into a hillbilly family :)
These are GOOD officers - they understand that soldiers are people first, and soldiers second. They see that York is true and honest in his position, and that his Faith is not something he displays to brag about, but that he actually lives by his non-violent beliefs. A powerful scene.
I don't think you've spent any time in the military 77 gravity.
Yers, good officers like those who were enjoing a formal dinner at La Havana while their USS Maine was blow up from inside in 1898 in order to have a excuse to start a war against Spain and Uncle Sam could grab Cuba, Puerto Rico, Solomon Islands, Guam and the Philippines. No matter how many American sailors died on board because the country got new territories after Spain rejected to sell Cuba to USA as Russia did with Alaska. Naaaaasty traitor country
Dave Constantineau i have, as an officer, and let me assure you, the good ones work exactly like that. The rest are officers by name only...
Perico De Lospalotes - pull your head out of your ass man.
@@pericodelospalotes5738 And they were all given their freedom or became voting territories.
Watch the rest of the film. York didn't kill just to kill, he killed to save his unit from being killed. He defended those that were in need. That is the point.
Alvin York wouldn't like today's America very much I would imagine
What is worse, America today would not much like Alvin York.
him and many like him are rollin over in their graves, knowing we let russians be involved in our elections, put bounties on american soldiers, and we did absolutely nothing, shameful
@Rusty Shackleford ;I had the privilege of helping one of York's descendants learn how to shoot a handgun.
Not being an American I have the fortune of looking in, not being part of. US politics has always been a dirty business, even men of great integrity have sometimes had to land some low blows. USA is great still because its people not its politicians make it so. Those that stir things up on the left and the right by spreading untruths deserve condemnation from you all. Remember you will soon be back to the moon and beyond. Mankind's greatest achievement is all American. You have fought a long war since 2001 with many losses but stuck at it. Be proud of yourselves and not your politicians or even flags but of your own hard work and grit.
Simon Campbell-Smith i agree with most of what u said but the last part i cant. Invading the middle east for their natural resources is not something to be proud of. Strafing apartment buildings full of women and children with a-10’s and attack choppers is fucking despicable. Pat Tillman, an american hero, said it best when watching what I just mentioned happening one night in Iraq, “ this is fucking illegal “.
Possibly the most touching thing about Sgt York was when he returned from the war and they held a big parade for him in New York City. In his charming naivete he assumed they had such a parade for all vets...
Since this movie was made, we have lost so much integrity. What has happened to us. We need to get back to the basics.
Y'all need to stop invading other countries for a start
@@daveyboy_ We wouldn't have to invade if they acted half civilized. I think you are a half-wit echoing the same crap that fell into your ears.
Speaking as a UK Citizen,the Samething has happened over hear in the UK and it all Boils down to Money and Greed
Globalists are anti-Americans and want to take over places for their own benefit. Freedom is special.
Absolutely and all the Problems started with Margaret Thatcher and her beliefs in Multi National Companys and in the end it will all Bounce back on those Multi National Companies
A great scene and despite being a movie, it's entire message should resonate today more than ever.
We have failed to teach this to the upcoming generations. Nowadays Boone would be disrespected.
Oscar winning scene.
@@47colton Nowadays D. Boone is just some colonizer, maaaaannnn! 🙄
My dad had me watch this when I was just 8 years old. And again when I was 12, and again when I was 16, and again when I was about to leave home for college.
He told me it was a true story; and it was a good example of how a man should act when presented with hard choices and difficulty.
I'm greatful.
HTMR4445 1 Not many get to experience a great father, he obviously cared for you and wanted to help you along your path in life!
My dad has taught and still is teaching me:
Good fishing tactics
Success hunting
Proper gun safety
And working on cars
@@sergeantmarcusstackerM1903 Sounds like you have an awesome dad.
Barry Maynard he is
my dad made me watch along with many other great movies
A number of years ago, my wife and I visited the grave of Alvin York in Pall Mall Tennessee. It was one of those moments of reflection as I had studied his CMH citation and his walk in faith. He lived in a time where ordinary Americans rose to the need of the nation.
Those are two good officers. Never forget that subordinates we lead are people, each with their own beliefs, convictions and dreams!
One officer, however, tries to use the Bible as a sort of law book and fails. The senior officer gets to the heart of the issue.
A video every American should watch.
This is my father's favorite film, after my mother ran off on him he had to deal with me as a rowdy young buck. I still come back to this film and think about honor, integrity, religious convictions....basically what is right and what is wrong.something people in this country dont seem to grasp.
Blessings to you
These days, too many people just get handed too much on a plate, without either having had to work for it, or care about having any of those virtues, of which you wrote.
People who understood the threat to freedom back then wouldn’t recognize today’s govt. or nation. We take so much for granted with so many people who’d have zero spine to defend their freedoms today. Thank god for those earlier generations willing to stand up to the tyranny so many seem to embrace today.
Then be the Alvin York you idolize.
I am a Canadian whose family served in every War our Country got involved in my Grandfather was killed in France on Sept 29th, 1918 -43 Day before the End of WW1 Grand Father was 43 years old with 8 Children the last being my Mother who was born in 1916 a few Months after He deployed---My Father went overseas in April 1941-i was born in Dec.1941 and Father was killed in Italy in March 1944 and like my Mother I never got to meet my Dad....So I kind of see my Family as being the same sort of folks as Alvin’s were decent, hard working Patriots who put their beliefs & their Country first. God Bless all such Christian Men & Women everywhere!
May God continue to bless your family and all of your descendants. Regardless of what disgraced events occured in your family, your keen continued to serve God and out great belov d human Country. To Caesar what is of Caesar, and to God what is of Gob. God bless everyone, and thanks to your great heritage for their devoted service to our Country.
My 6th Great Grandfather was a Sergeant in the militia of the town of Harvard Massachusets. He was a Minuteman. He and his unit Responded to the Lexington Alarm, April 19, 1775.
Later, he was at the first battle of Saratoga. Along with his then future son in law, my 5th great grandfather.
My 2nd great grandfather, from New York, fought with two different Illinois companies on the Union side of the Civil War. My maternal grandfather was a farmer and was exempted for WW1. But his so, served with the Navy in the Pacific in WW2. Also during WW2 my Dad was Army his brother was Navy, Sunk by a U-boat in the Greenland Sea in early 42 while Naval Armed Guard on a Liberty ship. He survived, lost toes to frostbite. Was picked up by British Navy ship. 3 firs cousins. 2 cousins of that maternal Uncle served, 1 Navy, 1 Army in the early 70s. I was USAF. Active, reserve, and 73-78 & 83'86. I was R&D and coms. Never fired a weapon except a .38 revolver during ROTC field training..well and my personal shotguns plus borrowed .22 rifles.
Roger that!! You wrote powerful words. Heartfelt. Thank you.
Why just Christian men and women? Ponder that when you comment about the good old days.
A great movie about a truly humble man who answered when he was called for duty.
So was Hacksaw Ridge with Doss.
@@docalexander2853 yea but this is honestly still 1000x better just due to the writting alone
He answered his country and God.
Gary Cooper one of the greatest actors' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A female actress said he was built like a horse and could go all night.
The women said he was built like a horse and could go all night. LOL
And one of the great womanizers of Hollywood also.
How different this world would be if we all yearned for righteousness like Alvin York did.
There were two men, one a murderer and an insurrectionist and the other the Prince of Peace and one could be let free and the people cried give us Barabbas and Kill Peace because men love murder and insurrection.
If more men were like Alvin York.
The powers of hell would be shaken forever. Satan himself would have no power over the hearts of men.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Edmund burke
So true
Amen
They will never make films like this again.
@Harikus Hacksaw Ridge. The true story of Pfc. Desmond T. Doss , who won the Congressional Medal of Honor despite refusing to bear arms during WWII on religious grounds. Doss was drafted and ostracized by fellow soldiers for his pacifist stance but went on to earn respect and adoration for his bravery, selflessness and compassion after he risked his life -- without firing a shot -- to save 75 men in the Battle of Okinawa.
We'll never see the likes of Gary Cooper or John Wayne. That's for sure. This will always be a favourite of mine.
@Harikus it is a really good movie. Put it on your must watch list.
Rev, Clint Eastwood came close on a couple.
You are right. We just have a few who get the MH. But we have many heroes who don't.
One of the most powerful scenes in any movie..ever. KInda puts the world in perspective...
There are men like this in every generation, every community. Rarely are they called, but they are there if needed.
hoodoo2001 I nominate Jordan B Peterson! A father’s voice to many.
I’m 42 and this is way ahead of my time but wow these old movies are phenomenal, I just finished it’s a wonderful life ! And when I was younger I always hated movies like this. And now I love them.
After watching this and thinking back on the Oscars this year, it's really sad to think that the Hollywood that once was, will never be again and may even disappear completely.
Lots of truth to that. We don't like to make movies that inspire anymore. When was the last time a movie made you want to be a better person.
There were perverts, drug addicts, and communists in Hollywood in the 1930s and 40s. They just weren't allowed to use the film industry to push their agendas. These days, anyone who is straight or Christian has a target on their back in Hollywood.
It is gone.
@@donnaleveron6511 you are probably right..
Decades ago, I used to have Oscar-watching parties. Now I rarely see a contemporary movie, and I don't follow the Oscars at all.
I'm from Oneida TN and I knew Alvins Son. Alvin sent the movie back to Hollywood until it was as it happened and no lies were in it. They gave in and could not afford to spend anymore on it and thought the truth would fail. But Academy Awards followed.
Except the part about being struck by lightning.
God bless Sgt. York!!! For his principals!!! In God and Jesus Christ!!!!
@@drakesucks I always wondered about that part. He may have allowed it for the brevity of it compared to a longer train of events.
These scenes touch me deeply. In my 20s I was something of a conscientious objector -- which hurt my bird-colonel father something fierce. The poor man had to humble himself before the Adjutant General of the State of Tennessee to get me an honorable discharge from the Air National Guard. (As a hippie in California I actually [stupidly] threw away some family firearms into a canal.) I didn't get my head straight on the subject until after I was born again at age 36. Thank God Dad and I were reconciled well before his passing. Reading the Word without the Holy Spirit can be dangerous!
@Real Thailand Jesus Himself said the Way to Life is narrow and few find it. That Way is not a religion but a living Person, the Creator of all. He has a clever enemy who invents religions that appeal to human pride. When I was lost I thought the devil was a myth. I dare you to read the Book that bears the signature of God in a thousand ways.
@Real Thailand Jesus also said unless a person is "born from above" he or she cannot SEE the kingdom of God. So we are all born (the first time) spiritually blind.
Go Vols!
This is one of the greatest movies ever made with a simple message. I love this movie and this scene, it inspired me to join the service and serve our country. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your service.
I saw this about 40 years ago IIRC. I was very different then, and serving the in the British Paras, ergo aggressive, but even then I was utterly impressed by Gary Cooper's brilliant and sensitive portrayal of an uneducated man struggling to make sense of his conscientious objection.
I can't remember the end of this film, but it's getting late and this will have to wait until tomorrow, but it's a wonderfully feel-good film to sleep upon, no matter how it ends, it's uplifting that someone struggles so deeply to follow his own conscience, and that his CO doesn't berate him for doing so.
Good night all, may we all awaken to a more peaceful tomorrow 🙂
Wonderful comment.
How powerful. I wish this movie would be seen by the younger generation and many in DC.
I get all choked up when i see that scene. Especially when the major says. " that's your heritage and mine too and every American. But sometimes the cost of that freedom is high sometimes it cost everything we have even our lives " God Dam. My eyes water up. : ) i first saw this movie as a lil boy at my Grandpas on reel 8mm. One of his favorite movies.
garyd044 You like this movie about an American hero and a devout Christian, yet your profile picture seems to glorify Lenin and the Soviet Union? Do you see the irony in this?
garyd044
York and ilk , Audie Murphy, were murderers. They may be in Hell
...irony abounds, within and without.
Unlikely, shit for brains.
Doug McGahie the larger give away is gary has no affinity for the Christian when he takes the Lord's name in vain,
What an awe-inspiring film - great actors especially Gary Cooper, one of my top favourites; wonderful message about faith, freedom and courage; and a story of a simple, honourable and remarkable man! This film is a substantial and nurturing food of the soul! Highly recommended to all!
Gary Cooper was one of my favorite actors growing up on old sitcom and movie reruns , amongst Charlton Heston, Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson , Chuck Connors and Clint Walker.
This man and others fought for our rights, and freedom.
I am proud to be an AMERICAN!
Lol, enters a European war like 12 months before it finishes and claims they're fighting for their freedom, piss off Yank
America's masterpiece. No lovelier place in the world than the hills of Tennessee.
I saw this movie with my dad when I was a kid. Used to go to York theater at Fort Bragg. Camp Gordon I was there took basic and Camo training it's an honor just to know who he is.
Brilliant movie and a great performance by Gary Cooper and a wonderful supporting cast
9:08 9:11 I truely wish i could be been more like Alvin. He was a simple man and his faith unbending. Still working on it. RIP Cousin Alvin. I'm sure your in Gods loving hands. I stop by his grave every time head home. I was at his funeral.
It wasn't very long ago this movie was free on RUclips... I've enjoyed watching Sergeant York's movie many times over 30 years. I have this movie in VHS I bought over 30 years ago. I myself was born and raised in the hills, hollers and mountains of Tennessee.
Jeremiah 51:20
He says, "You are My war-club, My weapon of war; And with you I shatter nations, And with you I destroy kingdoms.
All history classes should show films like these historical masterpieces
This Made me the American I am now, watched this back in grade school and it stuck with me for life! This is what is missing in the world today!
Me too
I’ve been to the Alvin C. York state historic park. If you are the least bit interested in his history you should go there! The guided tour was amazing! We learned so much about his personal life!And as a bonus ,the area is absolutely beautiful! There’s also a grist mill near there that you can walk through!History buffs should make this a bucket list must do!
I went 4 years ago and had the opportunity to meet and talk with Alvin's son. The ranger told me the family comes to the home place museum often.
I'm a WW1 reenactor that has been there a couple of times, sure I portray a German but it's still an amazing experience.
@Just think I wasn't talking about the scene. I was talking about having gone to Alvin York State Park.
Nor did I say anything about the go government.
Alvin York gave his allegiance to the United States, and his heart & soul to God.
Hard to find quality men & women with this type of character in today’s society. Great movie, great actors and inspiring story. Thank you for sharing
I respectfully disagree. They are everywhere, but they don't go around thumping their chests like donnie the coward!
Mark 🇺🇸 you almost had my attention until I view “coward” wasup with that comment??? Respectfully, I agree with you on half of your comment “ Chest Thumper”
You take issue with my use of the word "coward", but say nothing about Trump's denigration of our military and others. I have no beef with you, but I won't apologize for a failed human being! (Trump)
Mark 🇺🇸 I agree I have no issue with you or your opinion. I respect difference of each others perspective. No apologies necessary. Currently there’s enough hate and discontent in this world. We don’t need to keep adding to the problem. Have a good week, stay safe 🇺🇸
@@xvsj-s2x You're right. I can choose peace.
This scene never gets old
I can watch this movie all day long. I live not far from Sgt York lived. My in-laws are from the county he lived in. York was a great American Hero. That’s a fact. He came from the hills of TN like me.
The only film maker making movies close to this today is Mel Gibson. No irony. No sarcasm. Just love of storytelling of a pure hearted protagonist. Beautiful movie.
Yes indeed - Hacksaw Ridge is amazing, as is Andrew Garfield as Desmond Doss.
This is a film we should be showing our children and especially our grandchildren. And we should be with them whilst they watch it. I may not go back as far as the events of this film but it's so important for our young people to appreciate that what they have today was worked and fought for.
Now that we are afflicted by a world wide pandemic where things could possibly get a lot worse, they must be prepared for a time when what they have taken so for granted can no longer be obtained and the ease with which they could once have what they needed or wanted now has to be worked and, if necessary fought for.
This film also teaches that soldiers are people and citizens, not robots or cannon fodder to be expended at the whim of ambitious despots.
I came across this movie about a year ago on this here RUclips. Finally saw the whole thing on TV. Recorded it because I enjoyed it. Thanks. Problem is they don't make movies like this anymore.
Duhhh, because they made 911 instead as a recruitment tool duhhhhh
One of the greatest scenes in movies!
I remember watching that movie, as a kid , before I knew what it meant. God bless our soldiers.
Still my favorite movie! When ever i am asked, sadly i have to explain that it is an older movie that most have not seen.
My wife’s kin folk live in the big holler where York’s family and him came from. York was a great American. I love this movie I sure do.
This is such a beautiful portrayal of a simple man with little former education from the sticks with principals. Sergeant York was no coward and wanted to stick to what was right in his heart.
So many Scotch-Irish that were from those kinds of environments back then were such good people that looked out for others and wanted to love, be decent, and do what was right. Now you have these trashy Jerry Springer types.
Notice he can read?
Lots of backwoods folks learned to read with the King James Bible for a primer. Many back-country families would sacrifice everything they had for a Bible of their own, and use it to teach their children in the English language. You can see that archaic turn of phrase from the KJV turn up in American writings as late as the early 20th century as a result.
As a result of the back country love of the Bible, literacy in early Americana was actually pretty solid, with most villages achieving a literacy rate of somewhere between 50 and 75%, which in an agrarian era was pretty solid. That and the proliferation of public libraries in the late 18th early 19th centuries (and a large assist from the Catholic Church of course) actually allowed America to stay pretty close to the forefront of education through the Agrarian and Industrial eras
With a surname like "York", I suspect he may be of English ancestry as opposed to Scottish or Irish.
What I get out of this piece is humble is not simple and he s humble but decent.
@@alekzander2010 The name "York" indicates at least one English male ancestor. However, the prevailing culture in that part of the country was Scots-Irish. When other Americans moved into that region, there was still a strong tendency to be assimilated into the prevailing local culture. Also, the Scots-Irish were a unique people, neither true Scottish nor true Irish. The Scots-Irish were lowland Scots who were relocated into Northern Ireland to help establish a stronger British claim to Northern Ireland. The Scots-Irish were mostly Presbyterians who had differences with both the English Anglicans and the Irish Roman Catholics. More than a few English people who rejected the established Church of England also moved to Northern Ireland. Check out the miniseries "The Story of English", especially episode 4, here on RUclips. ruclips.net/video/Lbr148pL21o/видео.html
Amen.
I was just noticing that York is wearing the canvas gaiters which were worn in the US only.
When the troops went overseas they wore puttees. The more I keep seeing this film the more I am impressed with their attempt to "get it right", with some deliberate "realism concessions". The three best known are York's use of the 03 Springfield rather than the m1917 "enfield" he was issued, his use of a Luger in the combat scene (he actually used a Colt 1911 .45), and the lack of light ground snow.
One of my favorite movies of all time. They don't make movies or men like this anymore. I wish everyone would think like Alvin.
Maynard G Krebs yeah, real big wuss that can’t hold a candle to York’s truck-sized balls
Maynard G Krebs I was talking to that Leo fella, not you, sorry
Maynard G Krebs take care
I saw the old Sgt. York movie maybe for the first time. Whether or not every detail is factual, it is an inspiring and worthy watch, depicting common decency, respect, Biblical morality and ethics, and simple and humble patriotism! All of which is polar opposite attitude of the current culture. Too bad this is not still championed as the *right way*. Look at our crumbling society.
This is a brilliant film. Timeless.
Way back when it meant something to hold to Truth, Honor, and the Written Word. God Bless our American soul. We are His.
How nice it is that there are conflicting quotes you can use any time you feel like it.
Truly classic movie. Movie like this has no R & R censored. Really enjoy this old classic. Thanks for sharing it. Much obliged.
Major knew when his men started dying. York would defend them with his life...
Major, we lost that freedom. It is no longer a government of, by, and for the people. I lament that.
Movies no longer celebrate innocence.
you are so right. now. Hollywood is just the opposite. they are a bunch of elitists who think we are too stupid to brush our teeth.
No mate we have not lost that freedom, Freedom is not free... Our republic is very valuable... In a republic we are the government.
We will be again.
We never lost it. We have been encouraged to forget that we have it.
Here's George Clooney from my neck of the woods northern Kentucky in response to Trump and you idiots who call him Hollywood elite:. Clooney said, “Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years. So this idea that I’m somehow the ‘Hollywood elite’ and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.
“People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of ‘coastal elites’ living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble? He lives in a gold tower and has 12 people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people! When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction. He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say ‘Hollywood elite.’ Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! F-k you!”
This movie was made before my Mom was born but It is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen .
A lot more kids need to know this movie this is my favorite!
God bless Alvin C. York! Hoorah!
I've only ever seen this film once and I loved it
Saw this movie as a kid...
Tears in my eyes...
Some of the greatest acting I have ever seen.
Excellent CO and a strong scene.
I'm gonna be a thinkin about everything in this scene for a long time
Good for you! Thanks for doing that.
This should be required viewing in every high school and for every person about to enter the armed forces! All Americans, in whatever form, need to fight for what makes this the greatest country ever created. God bless America!
I LOVE OLD MOVIES LIKE THIS!
EXCELLENT MOVIE I'VE SEEN IT MANY TIMES, EACH TIME I SEE IT AGAIN, I GET SOMETHING NEW AND DIFFERENT. I'LL WATCH IT AGAIN AND AGAIN A LOT OF HEART IN THIS MOVIE
I will always love this movie!
Alvin York is one of the few I have been able to look up to. With his isolated upbringing and necessary labors, he was able to understand what our nation is and what is required to keep it. The freedoms and rights we hold have been so eroded over the generations. Our government, schools, and most all of the other institutions have become corrupted by greed and graft. Having a strong sense of duty to god nation and self are now generally held in low regard or even with open hostility by fellow countrymen. So sad. I don't reckon it will be long before its all gone and replaced by its opposite. May God have mercy on us all.
One of my very favorite clips from all movies.
I ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT FREEDOM ISNT FREE . THIS COUNTRY IS WORTH FIGHTING AND IF NEED BE DYING FOR !!
Bill Huber The Left try and piss this freedom away everyday! Apologies for the profanity.
I’m a with you with one little exception. This country is worth fighting for and if need be, making those other poor bastards die for testing our resolve.
The mark of a good man...willing to see someone else's viewpoint and consider the alternatives
One of the all time great films.
Sergeant York is supposed to be in my family tree; a third cousin or something. I knew he was a known war hero. No one talks about him today or when I was growing up, so I didn't understand that he was such a huge deal. I had no idea there was a movie about him. Wow.
:"Book says a man dont' live bread alone"
too tru
that moment on the hilltop when the bible hit that passage was the turning point in my life when struggling within in regard to entry into service and the taking of life in combat. but i also did research on alvins reluctance to have any movie made about his life, seems he had 2 demands, 1. that cooper played his part, and 2. that no hollywood B.S. , "stick to the exact facts of his story". i know it sounds corny but its the truth, and i sometimes wonder how many other men of faith had the same experience.
I have had this battle in my own mind in hypothetical. It's a fine portrayal.
I loved this movie as a child. my family has served in every American war and were farmers.
And add to the emotional thoughts that are going through Alvin Yorke's head play by Gary Cooper, it's Really cool to watch as dog follow him up to the ledge and LAY Down and as soon as Gary Cooper gets up the dog gets up and it's Really a great piece of cinematic history.
This guy is perfect for playing Sgt York.
Mr. York picked Cooper himself
Psalm 144:1 Of David.
Blessed be the LORD, my rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
Psalm 144:2 Of David.
He is my loving devotion and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer. He is my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.…
8:20. Pastor also got Alvin to go,by a-sayin' "Alvin,the Lord said all that,true enough,but He also means you gotta defend against Evil out there,and that don't count as killin',in my Book",or words to that effect,when he recky-minded Alvin to comply with that there draft. Right spot-on movie,to this ole Tennessee boy.
Very moving account. Thanks
I always loved this movie. They had to really be backwoods though. Still using muzzle loaders in the early 1900s out West in Texas they were using Winchester Lever Actions
What young people need to see and understand.
Mac, that is not enough to say.
Stand up, and step up...Son of Danel.
The best movie i saw.
I think reading some of the comments about this segment from Sergeant York is worth your perusal.
Agreed. It should be requisite viewing in every high school in America. In this day and age we are sorely lacking in knowledge of American Culture, History, Ethics, and Morals. Civics classes used to be required in High Schools. There was the CCC, and many other organizations and events which educated people on the importance of these subjects. Real patriotism and integrity are sorely lacking nowadays and are not learned or made interesting if they are not taught; if we are not reminded of them.
The commandments don't say "Thou shalt not kill" they say "thou shalt not murder"
It does say thou shall not kill. It does not say that you shall not murder.

Great movie, I just re-watched it on TCM. I am glad that Gary Cooper won an Oscar for his role in it.
Man, this is so awesome.
