- My favorite scene from one of my favorite films. If your heart doesn't melt from this, then you are Dick Cheney!
1902. Tateh (Mandy Patinkin), a poor Russian immigrant, takes his daughter from the Lower East Side in NYC to Philadelphia to start a new life. But in order to do so, he asks his daughter to make a sacrifice.
directed by Milos Forman with Oscar Nominated Original Score by Randy Newman
The sets, costumes, and hair styles are perfect; a beautiful film!
Randy Newman's finest movie score ever was for this WHOLE movie! From beginning to end. Oh, and a wonderful movie too.
Great underrated far-too-unknown movie by Milos Forman.
Absolute great score by Randy Newman, my favourite of his works ! By far !
Lovely scene from a brilliant film, IMO one of the top 10 or 20 english movies of all time. Thanks for the clip!
one of the very best american movies ever made, and the main character (Rollins) was robbed of his well deserved Oscar
Howard's acting was other worldly. His performance in this movie was on par with Daniel Day Lewis and some of the work that he's done.
Great scene from a great movie
The real crime of this movie is the way they condensed the story Tateh's story gets pushed to the side. They never mix with the other characters the way the story meant them too - they just feel like characters from a separate movie. And it really is a shame, because Mandy was the perfect person to play Tateh.
Among the many 'lost histories' in 'Ragtime' (I mean, who in 1975 or 1981 knew who Evelyn Nesbit was?) Doctorow points out that the inter-urban railways systems of the east were once so comprehensive that it was possible to travel as far west as Ohio from the Atlantic coast on them - without ever having to use a long distance train line...hence this scene where Tateh seems to be travelling to Philadelphia on a streetcar. As for the separated narrative...it works if you are not relying on absolute faith to the book, functioning more like a classic 'fusion' screenplay where parallel stories eventually come together. Also, it is my understanding that some key scenes were cut: there is a beautiful ten minute long scene between Emma Goldman and Evelyn Nesbit that should never have been cut (Forman didn't want to, but Di Laurentis - backed by Doctorow himself! - won out).
thank you, that's so interesting. I never thought about the fact that he was on a streetcar.
And wow, this is a great scene: ruclips.net/video/GjzjGFB1_Y4/видео.html
WTH do you never see or hear anything about this movie? There's hardly any clips of it to see on You Tube.
This is a very good film, more people should be seeing it.
Hey Shamborn. Maybe I am Dick Cheney (It is possible) but I tell you this: with this scene even my heart melts.
I cried.
I must read the book and see this movie. :)
I would also encourage you to check out the Tony Award winning 1998 musical too!
It has a book by Terrance McNally(who also did Frankie and Johnny in the Clair De Lune), and a masterful score by Composer Stephen Flaherty and Lyricist Lynn Ahrens(the same team that wrote the songs for the Don Bluth movie(and it's recent stage adaptation), Anastasia!).
"If you do give it me I will be proud with you.." oy vey..a heart tugger.
American dream baby.
An incredible emotional movie with a story that could inspire any human with a decent heart (not chenney, of course!)
Since Cheney's son in law works for a degenerate crackhead felon, I'll have to agree.
This whole sequence is an advertisement for capitalism. It shows what made America great.
Yet it's also ironic as, in the book that this movie is based on, Tateh is an advert socialist(and even still considers himself as such after making his riches from movie making).
@@michaelwilliamybarra2409 Yes, Michael, yes! Most professed socialists I know are filthy rich! They like to dress it up with social justice consciences and whatnot. Makes it easier to get invited to parties.
You are so right. This era is when the country really began to prosper and America was taking her role in the world. This was when, with limited government, anyone could succeed. The left has done it's work well, getting many Americans and others around the world to despise America and capitalism. Fools don't understand how many millions of corpses and destroyed lives socialism has left in its wake.
