I was a young PBS documentary cameraman and was at the set in Isleton in 76. We watched Hal Ashby direct the scene with the two young girls singing under a tent. We interviewed both Ashby and Haskell Wexler. Haskell's camera had broken down and they were on hold until a replacement could be sent up. My camera also jammed shooting Wexler. He was delighted yelling that it was not just him but some kind of malevolent force that had waylaid both our cameras. It was an amazing early experience to be able to watch these men in action.
This movie was my introduction to Guthrie as a kid and opened me up to Steinbeck and then a lot of radical politics since then. Amazing that you got to work on this!
Watched this for the first time today. I grew up listening to my Grandmother's depression stories. Make me appreciate having a job and food on the table for my children.
A great docudrama about a little known American folk hero who influenced other musicians like BOB DYLAN. I gave this dvd to an aspiring musician along with some cash for his equipment needs.I then told him, after you watch this movie ask yourself this,am I also willing to SUFFER FOR MY MUSIC,TO BRING IT TO THE PEOPLE,TO TOUCH THEIR HEARTS&SOULS,like this man.? Great movie,great acting.One of my all time favorites.
Epic movie about the struggles of those refugees from the dust bowl, in some of the toughest times in America, and the hurdles they had to go through. So realistic it made you feel as though you were taken back in time and suspended in those scenes, yourself.
those where the halcyon days of david carradines career , his post kung fu film break , i recall i had no idea who woody guthrie was when i sat in my dark cinema on the derby road nottingham > delighted me
hal ashby was an underated director. the 70s was last golden age fore moviein america. great storys great Cinematography. some of my favert movies were made in the 80s and90s but the 70s was the last gasp of american greatness thes days . good movies are like minning fore gold must are ok
Ever since I discovered The Grapes of Wrath two years ago, I listened to the audiobook many times. And I saw the same movie, which needs to be remade right about now. But I kept remembering, vaguely, a scene where there was a big camping area, and people singing and listening to songs, and a fight. I knew it wasn’t from The Grapes Of Wrath movie, but I couldn’t place it. And I had the feeling it had to do with the same story. Finally, yesterday, I was thinking about Woody Guthrie, got on RUclips, and there it it: Bound For Glory. Can’t find it on RUclips or iTunes, but I’ll watch it before a week goes by.😊 The Grapes of Wrath, pg.298.: ‘ Goddamn reds is drivin’ the country to ruin, he says...’Mr. Hines, I ain’t been here long. What is these goddamn reds?’ Well, sir, Hines says, ‘ A red is any son - of- a -bitch that wants thirty cents an hour when we’re payin’ twenty- five!’😊 Imagine being so conditioned by your government, that for over a century any talk of making progressive improvements is met by 70 million people screaming, ‘red! Commie!, and the rest of these worn out words millions don’t even understand. And will never understand as long as successive republican governments are elected, and Fox News shows are there to make sure their audience sucks back that propaganda. All anyone had to do was spend a half hour on Google to absorb objective information, learn a few definitions, check the philosophy and policy of two parties, to learn they’ve been voting against themselves for decades. Even listening to the audiobook of The Grapes of Wrath would explain, in a simple story, so much. It was written 80 years ago, and could have been written about today.
@@Caperhere Those two films always reminded me of each other. Both were epic movies about the struggles of those refugees from the dust bowl, in some of the toughest times in America, and the hurdles they had to go through. Both movies were so realistic it made you feel as though you were taken back in time and suspended in those scenes, yourself.
The steadicam is not stable by itself. The biggest part of the steadicam is the ISO elastic arm, without that the whole system does not work as the cameras are too heavy for the person to hold. So yes this is the first movie where it was used and the opening shot shows how Garret Brown is gentle with the system. You still need delicate hands and you have to learn the system movements so that your shot is dead centered. Greatist invention for Movie filming in decades.
Mu buena película, referente a la canción de Woody Guthrie!!! PODRIAN traerla para ver en Toytube, teniendo en cuenta que hay partes documentales de época de los E,U,A,!
@GratefulVince My faverit Filmakers are Akira Kurosawa , Sergio leone , Sam pechinpah, Stanly kurbrick , Sergio Corbucci, richard stanly , Guillermo del Toro, and ridley scott
@GratefulVince Thank you im amzed you could read that. yay i to enjoy Peckinpah . they brought american cinema some respecteblty . what other american directors . do you think brought our cinema some respectibilty. and what do you think are promicing american directors . thank you
I recorded a french version of one of his songs. I don't know the original title neither original lyrics. ruclips.net/video/WRN-a9dEi4Q/видео.html It's very clear for me that songs like this one were a big inspiration for Bob Dylan. When I sing it, people ask me if it's a Dylan's song. I'd like to see this film.
@GratefulVince oh sorry you answrd my quesion all ready . sorry im tired .Scorses for me is hit or misse. Cimino . how is heavens gate . ive heard of its long production history and its flope but how is it
There have been always persistent rumors that Tim Buckley should've been casted as Woody, but he died one of an overdose of heroin before anything was decided. I really like David Carradine, but Tim Buckley would've been perfect as Woody! And it might've jumpstarted his stuttering career. He managed to kill himself in a completely pointless and preventable fashion! He wasn't even an addict, but took all the dope out of spite because somenone told him not to do it! And instead of getting the main role in a Hal-Ashby movie he didn't even manage to secure a place in the illustrious 27-club! He was 28 when he died! But he was a great singer with a huge voice nevertheless! And he looked much more like Guthrie than Dave Carradine! Btw, Tim's son Jeff Buckley managed to kill himself in an equally silly fashion. It must've been in the genes: he decided it might bei a great idea to go for a swim in an unsafe river - in November, and being fully dressed with boots! He was 31. Maybe, someone should make a movie about father and son Buckley! I know that it was talked about for a while, but for some reason it never happened.
@@kentclark6420 , yes, Tim and Jeff Buckley's stories are indeed very sad! And David Carradine's death was equally stupid. But he was over 70 when he died, and he lived a full life and had a good career! I found out by now that the movie about Jeff and Tim Buckley has been made. It's not bad. But the focus is more on Jeff, and IMO they didn't get Tim at all - neither his flamboyant personality nor his great voice. It's also quite obvious, that the makers didn't know how to re-create the aera of the 1960s and early 1970s in an authentic fashion. Personally I prefer Tim, who had a stunning voice and was a highly creative musician and song writer, who mostly recorded and performed his own stuff. Jeff also had an intriguing voice, and he was a very talented musician, But I don't like his high pitch. And I think that he wasn't as creative as his dad. I like Jeff's covers much more than his own stuff. Granted, I do not like everything Tim wrote. Nobody does 😉 But he was so productive and he wasn't afraid to experiment. He often changed his style completely - not always into a good direction. He managed to alienate many fans, and that really hurt his career. But there is so much stuff that most people find something which they love. But this comment section is about "Bound For Glory" and not about the Buckleys 😉 Tim was a great singer and looked a lot like Woody Guthrie. But Tim was not an actor. Therefore we cannot know if he really would have been better than David Carradine. And since Woody did not have a phenomenal voice, Tim's great and versatile voice was not needed for the part.
@@kentclark6420 , thanks for answering 😀 The movie is from 2012 and called "Greetings From Tim Buckley" btw. It's neither great nor bad, but it's informative and pleasant - maybe more for Jeff's fans, though 😉

I fondly remembered singing, "This Land Is Your Land" back in elementary school in the mid 70s. Wonder if it's still sung today?
I don’t know about schools, but it’s still sung in kitchens and around campfires.
There’s a Canadian version, too.
