Didn't it? This segment almost made me into an environmentalist. Those majestic views of the land at the end, the deer creeping back out, the holes carefully filled back in...with earth.
The old man lived because he left nature in balance (digs holes and fills them in, takes eggs but puts 3 back) they make a point of lingering on the owl hooting and flying away before he makes his move in the hole.
I feel like they let the old man live as an act of kindness to the audience. Let's face it this movie is brutal, just like life. Thank god they let us have this one little scrap of hope, otherwise this movie would have crushed me. Like Tom Waits, like my old Grampy, If they could do it so can I.
The John Ford westerns are similar as well as many westerns of the 1940s and 1950s. If you have not already, take some time exploring them, they are spectacular.
I only hope this place - and it is actually a real place, is left unspoiled. I never have to visit and just hope it continues. The world has plenty of parking lots already.
I loved this chapter of the movie. Waits was superb. I lost it when after he gets shot, he’s up and headed for the creek. “Ain’t hit nothing important! Just guts is all! Nothing important!”
Mother Machree / There's a spot in my heart, Which no colleen may own. There's a depth in my soul, Never sounded or known; There's a place in my mem'ry, My life, that you fill, No other can take it, No one ever will.

I kiss the dear fingers, So toil-worn for me, Oh, God bless you and keep you, Mother Machree. Ev'ry sorrow or care In the dear days gone by, Was made bright by the light Of the smile in your eye, Like a candle that's set In the window at night, Your fond love has cheered me And guided me right. Sure, I love the dear silver That shines in your hair, And the brow that's all furrowed, And wrinkled with care. I kiss the dear fingers, So toil-worn for me, Oh, God bless you and keep you, Mother Machree.

I used to take my wife to the gold canyon and carry her down hill while i sang very loudly for the nature to hear and have a picnioc in spots excatly like that. unfortunately she is gone..but this was beautiful

This portion of the movie is one of the best films I’ve ever watched. The land was so sacred and untouched. The natural beauty was to behold. After a short disturbance and desecration things were left mostly intact. I wish the world was so vast, this was the most impact we left in our path. The music was very connecting for me.
It wasn’t fully happy, we see how he brought death and tarnished the land, but he does end up leaving and we can see how nature recovers after the disruption. I like the message, it isn’t trying to make a value judgement, just letting us take it as hard as we want
Buster Scruggs had a happy ending too. The psychopathic singing gunman gets his just desserts and still manages to go up to heaven, singing along with his killer.
@@k80_ he did nothing that permanently damaged the area or anything, unless you count the egg and the fish. Everything will be back to normal pretty fast, except a little bit less gold in the ground, and a little bit more... dead body.
This beautifully shot chapter reminds me so much of my dad; A simple, gentle man who respects the environment that surrounds him and possesses somewhat an understanding of nature without thinking too much about it - and he's a massive Tom Waits fan too! God Bless you both Ethan and Joel Coen.
Jesus Christ, thanks so much for uploading this. I'm viewing The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs at the moment (I'm 5/6ths of the way through!) and only chose to watch it because I saw that TW had a leading role - I wasn't disappointed. A beautiful film and Tom really steals the show. Tears were shed ... and I'm a no-nonsense kind of bloke, usually. I don't care much for cover versions, nor does Waits especially, but like Andrew King says, a full TW rendering of this track would be amazing, especially if it's as insanely mad and brilliant as his version of "Goodnight Irene" from the "Orphans" triple CD!
Finally a video of this where the comments are not turned off damn.... this was one of the most beautiful cinmeatic moments ever i was married and lived near Gold canyon and would carry my sweet wife down to a brook just like that... she cheated on me and left me and I returned to my foothills of the appilachian

Love the irony in this! He takes a egg from a hard working bird after it did all the work. The owl disapproves, and the old man gets shot in the back after he put in all the hard work finding the pocket. I think the owl was the one who cursed him with the killer
I like your interpretation. I personally felt there must be some connection to the owl, but couldn't figure it out. Your comment got me thinking that you're onto something. I wanna add, the prospector took all the eggs, which in the owl's perspective would end its continuation of life, but then gave three back and took one. Three eggs seems a reasonable number for a chance at a successful offspring, and thus, while it must hurt to lose an egg, the prospector didn't take anything important (threatening to its continuation of life). He also took the eggs while the owl was away, another parallel to being shot in the back. How high can a bird count? Apparently very well. Maybe not numbers, but it understood and exacted an equal revenge. Again, thx for the idea that the owl cursed the prospector. I can sleep now.
Always poking around for the latest Waits upload. Real Waits, that is. Best performance in the film? Well, for me, that would have to go to the final story, with the heavily bearded fellow in the carriage. When it's his turn to go for it, he owns the screen. Kind of like the setup in Waiting For Godot. A non speaking charter suddenly blasts off near the end.
Beautiful film, one that I've watched several times. Each chapter is done in a different style with many layers that in my experience take several viewings to notice and appreciate. Every chapter includes breathtakingly settings, this one in particular, and the casting is spot on. There are also some obvious anachronisms however, this song being one of them. The copyright page of the book from which the stories supposedly come shows a date of 1873 so the stories are set prior to that, but the song "Mother Machree" was written in 1910. At least a couple of the other songs in the movie also postdate 1873, as does the "dead man's hand" reference which causes Buster Scruggs to refuse to play his hand at the poker table. The legend of the dead man's hand didn't originate until sometime after the assassination of Wild Bill Hickok in 1876, but didn't become widespread folklore as consisting of two pairs with black aces and black eights with an unknown hole card until the 1920's.
@@waltz4657 That's the Carter Burwell Instrumental, it doesn't have any of Tom Waits vocals over it - I personally think the vocals are the best part :)
I highly recoommend looking up the Jack London short story this is based on "All Gold Canyon" which is a great read. It is online if you search for it for free to read. Extremely faithful adaption of the story.
My favorite one if his was the one about the man that's hiking out to meet up with some friends at a cabin in the Canadian wilderness with his dog and ends up misjudging how cold the weather would be and freezes to death. Always thought it was wild how he tried to kill his dog so he could shove his hands in its guts to warm them up....
My head cannon is that he only dug up "Mr Pocket" and then left because while he could keep digging for more gold, what good would that do? He is an old man and he probably don't have that many years left. Better to just take as much as he needs so he can live the rest of his life comfortable.
Jesus' Love Never Failed Me Yet: a recording of a homeless person, gradually getting reharmonised by an orchestra with Tom Waits' voice as well. Totally in the fashion of this song!
This was my favorite chapter of the movie. So beautiful, and the good guy actually won and left and nature was restored
It was my favourite too.
Me too
shut the fuck up

It was totally ZEN
@captainboodie weird flex but ok
san juan mountains colorado. come visit, tons of free dispersed camping and awesome hikes
I watched this high and was absolutely spellbound. Felt like I was actually in that valley!
Would love a full Waits version of this.
Yes!
Me too.
I want more full on Waits everything...and anything.
@@johnasee2049 You've probably seen Mystery Men. He's great in that.
The old man lived because he left nature in balance (digs holes and fills them in, takes eggs but puts 3 back) they make a point of lingering on the owl hooting and flying away before he makes his move in the hole.
The owl is the symbolic reason he was only shot once
Yep. Only took one egg. Only shot once.
Exactly. Built up good karma by respecting nature

This is a pretty faithful adaptation of All Gold Canyon by Jack London. The old man survives there, too.
Blessed be the name of God forever.
@@TRUECEL14 Amen to that
I think this may be the most beautiful scenery and cinematography I’ve ever seen in a film

It would be a lot better without them dang 'ol words in the way.
My heart swelled at the viewing of this episode - just like the music.
I was so amazed I looked it up. It is touching that so beautiful a place exists.
I only hope this place - and it is actually a real place, is left unspoiled. I never have to visit and just hope it continues. The world has plenty of parking lots already.
I cried when I imagined a world without Tom Waits no longer in it. Then I cried again with THE GIRL WHO GOT RATTLED. Great film.
The girl who got rattled? What film?

This is the best story of the movie, beautiful cinematography, great plot twist, good story, good music, and Tom waits
Nobody sings Mother Machree so good like Tom
thumbs up if you needed to hear this song on repeat to help your day go by
One of my favorite vignettes of the movie. Gotta love that Tom Waits almost has a Disney Princess moment, hehehe
This part was one of the most visually stunning part of all the movies I've ever seen in my lifetime.

I guess I’ll be the first to say it, this area looks exactly like Big Valley from RDR2
It looks EXACTLY like little creek. It’s actually scary
@@charlessmith9198 I also thought the same. You can also find a prospector in that area when free roaming. With deers around him and such

This was my absolute favorite segment of the Film. Tom Waits was great as the old Prospector. The song Mother Machree was very fitting.
Best version of this song.
Hahaha...I like Tom, but you should also listen to John Mcdermott's.
Sit tight mr pocket

We need to lobby Tom Waits to do a full version of this in character!
Tom Waits is ALWAYS in character!
Coen bros + Tom Waits = Gold
They found Mr. Pocket with this section.
Wholesomeness levels off the charts
When i saw that scenery I thought that is the most beautiful place I have ever seen captured on film.
I came here looking for this beautiful song. Reminds me of songs my great-grandfather, grandfather, and grandmother used to sing. I miss them all.
It was fantastic watching this on netflix, made me think of my grandfather. Never give up💛☀️🌟🌍
Just finished watching Sisu and couldn’t stop thinking of this story the whole time. Don’t mess with old men and their hard-earned wealth.

I love the dead silver that shines in your hair....
Best part of the anthology. If they released even just this one part on Blu-ray I would buy it.
The one guy who was just minding his own business and was pure of heart was the only one got a happy ending. I think that was part of the message
Outstanding tenor with that rustic voice sounds better than most legendary Irish singers.
bo i get chills and tears every time that top chord and timpani hits…..
Is there anything that Tom has touched that hasn’t turned into gold?
