I remember watching this movie, 45 years ago, wow now i feel old, 52. Great movie, i still love to the outdoors, hike, camp, bushcraft, and this movie had an impact on that.
[SPOILER ALERT] You got about a year or so on me. Your comment got me thinking. This movie has likely also influenced my interest in bushcraft (our family has been hikers & campers for 4 generations now). I think the influential idea was that anyone, even as young as Shawn, could survive out in the bush with the correct know how. Patrick Foley fast-tracked Shawn's related education by 'teaching a man to fish' rather than 'giving a man a fish' (so to speak) even though it seemed harsh of Patrick to not 'give' Shawn much than the hard lessons that ultimately saved Shawn's life.
I’ve not seen this since I was 10 years old! Now 47 and it’s exactly how I remember it. Thank you for sharing this, words don’t capture how it felt to see my favourite childhood movie again. 😊
Love this Movie. It takes me back to when I was a little girl and my Father would say quotes from this movie to me. I still cry when i watch it. Thank You.
I Absolutely love seeing this movie just This morning , Wednesday 9-2023 and IRS the same experience as when I first saw it in the 89”s with my parents , such a great memory in my life , I just love the Whole movie from the beautiful scenes in the mountains to the truth of life and death❤😢
Good picture quality.A movie that seems to have been buried and not widely known or seen.I remember this on HBO in early 80's always liked this because it's just different and strangely moving and poignant
This is one of William Holden's last films, and the director Peter Collinson's last film before he died of cancer a year later. The movie was probably his last ode to his sons.
Lovely film, I'm ordering the DVD it touched me so. Thank You for sharing this. It was an unsentimental, at times rough meditation on life and death, youth and old age/death. Bill Holden was perfect and I would love to hear how Ricky Schroder feels about it. Again, much thanks!
This is the best movie I’ve ever seen in my life I love the spectacular Mountain scenes it looks so beautiful. This was sad charming film but I love it. 😊😊❤❤❤🎉
It was sad but also great! Foley not only teaches shawn how to survive in the wild, but also teaches him about life and love, and the importance of living in reality! At the end, I felt confident that Shawn would be able to find his way back to civilization, and will live a full good life, all thanks to his meeting Foley! One of my FAVORITE movies too!
The trailer scene makes a lot more sense in the EU version. His anger after the argument explains his recklessness, where as in this version he just seems to be acting kinda nuts for no good reason. Thanks for uploading though mate. This really needs to be more widely known.
I loved how he made the sacrifice of teaching the little boy how to be tuff enough to survive by living off the fruits of the land. He wanted him to bury him, then follow the stream downhill.
Yep. I'm 50 and still get emotional at about 4 specific end scenes. Foley reminds me of my great grandfather who was my superhero when I was Sean's age.
Wow. Another great performance by Ricky. And never knew of this movie. Must have been filmed after "The Champ"? Thank you for sharing this. These days all I search for is the movies from the 80's. This one knocked it out of the park for me this evening.
Right on. You're welcome. Right now, I'm trying to find some good 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century' and the late 70's 'Battlestar Galactica' - just for flashback fun.
@@BautistaVids If youlike films,you should.check Holden'career.He worked in at least threememorable movies which have made history:Sunset Boulevatd,Bridge on the River Kwai and Network.And he was excellent in them.
I'm Sean and Foley. I'm both depending on the dialog. I couldn't touch my father either. I knew my daughter hated me but loved me. I can finally show love now. Forty years on.
THE GOLDEN BOY S penultimate SWAN SONG FILM. A real life semi-allegorical life sitrep full of existential premonitions, ghosts of the past, lukewarm nostalgia & insinuated kind acceptance etc before, supposedly, getting killed by his night table in Santa Monica soon after. Holden s life path was truly strong and profound. Every one of his major films was a message of human dignity with deeply-carved moral aptitudes, not platitudes. "Simple Human Decency" was his key phrase in NETWORK when educating the upstart 70s yuppie, Faye Dunaway, a product of the "TV-generation". His other late-late works such as the 4gettable WHEN TIME RAN OUT and OMEN 2 were basically cover stories to conceal his rugged facade he successfully kept up despite serious alcoholism. Even the poetic violence in THE WILD BUNCH had its merits in moral terms : the outcome was no Wild Hunch, but a protest toward the carnage in Nam. Only his last film SOB (1981) by Blake Edw was ill-advisedly mistitled: Bill was the opposite. The film herein is quite rare, even 4 myself this is 1st viewing. "They don t make actors like he was any longer" -cliche suits fine as a cadenza. 🇫🇮
My family had this on the old videotape. I remember thinking of Shawn's father in this cut as just a very careless man, which is what led to both him and his wife's demise. And seeing the EU cut for the first time, I was surprised to see Shawn's parents get more screen time, namely the father. In that cut, I think he is shown as someone trying to be calm and friendly, but deep down, he is actually very arrogant and hot-headed, thinking that he is always right, which again leads to his death.
[SPOILER ALERT] I appreciate your comment. One thing I observed with the EU version was that the marriage was on rockier ground than the US version showed. Both the husband and wife seem to be dealing with some differences that relate to the tension. While I appreciate watching the EU version, I really did enjoy the US version and the idea that both parents had a more Cleaver/Brady family relationship. I think that is what the producers of the US version had in mind, but they failed at completely hiding that tension, particularly relating to the camper scene. For years that slightly interrupted flow of love and harmony in that US camper scene bothered (didn't make sense) me, like a splinter in my mind that was finally removed after watching the EU version.
@@BautistaVids I like this version better as well. I feel that the EU cut is more melancholic, while this one is more bittersweet. The music in this version strikes me as living your life to the fullest. It can be sad sometimes, and will come to an end eventually, but life can still be fulfilling and content.
You noted in your description that it was made for TV. Not sure that is true. I suspect it just got limited or no distribution into theaters. It was finally released on HBO here in the US the year after it was made, which was the common release gap for films that played in theaters at that time for a film to go from theater to HBO and home video in the 80's. In the case of the Earthling. not even sure it got a VHS release at that time.
[Spoiler Alert] - I have the EU version as well, but I prefer the US version. As I mentioned in the description, the EU version will, to an extent, fill in some gaps. At the same time, the alterations and cuts were done to lighten the mood a bit (they disguised/removed the tension between Shawn's parents for instance). So, the US version is intended to be a different presentation than the EU version. IMHO, the gaps filled only relate to some of the scenes themselves- not so much about the presented story (unless there's an original book that reveals an original author's intent).
Okay, it's uploaded. I changed both thumbnails, added the EU version to the same playlist, and linked the EU version at the end of the US version using an 'end screen'. Enjoy!

I didn't like the ending of The Earthling, it's only showing that poor orphan Shawn had to travel alone back to civilisation even with a unknown fate after that, I hope Shawn least later found someone who would help and/or adopt him, find and be taken care of an adult relative who least had to know what happened to his parents, or least be taken in to orphanage after if he got back to civilization.
Yes, that's approximately the exact way it happened while just passing first but before second while contemplating third right up until he changed his mind.
Maybe. And if someone was kind enough to purchase and share a video without being compensated, I might then try to obtain the subtitles / captions and share them as my own contribution.
I found a transcript online that was pretty close to accurate and was able to generate the captions based on that (with modifications). It may not be 100% accurate and there is my own emotional formatting, but it is better than nothing (none of the Disc's sold online come with captions - so this is my creation based on the transcript someone posted online).
It's always either 33 or 13. Both are Messianic references. This film suggests self salvation or the new ages' 'heroes journey'. Only Jesus Christ saves however.
No doubt the mother and father also represented Adam and Eve and their crash represented their fall from paradise. Kabbalists think they have the tree of life figured out through their own rebirth ritual but only Jesus Christ saves.
Note also how the little boy shouts 'I am God'? This is a very occultic film if you notice all the references. Hollywood always codes their films like this. They always reference the Bible, their own Kabbalist/ Gnostic beliefs and they always reference Jesus. Notice the friend he leaves behind is called 'Christian'? This film is loaded with references. These films aren't entertainment but Gnostic propaganda.
I am halfway through this movie and bored. Schroder was a great child actor, but this film is not as good as The Champ or Little Lord Fauntleroy. Sorry.

One of the best movies I've ever seen. Have loved it and rewatched it for years.
I'd say this was Schroder's best acting work . . . Hard hitting film, beautiful country, scenery.
I remember watching this movie, 45 years ago, wow now i feel old, 52. Great movie, i still love to the outdoors, hike, camp, bushcraft, and this movie had an impact on that.

Should See " My side of the Mountain "

Comments like yours make be glad I uploaded it - share similar sentiments. You're very welcome.

You're very welcome.
One of my favorite movies of the past filled with words of wisdom. Thanks so much for sharing it's appreciated!
My pleasure!
Schroder named his first child after him.
I'm so grateful i was blessed enough to see this again.
lovely movie...deep and philosophical. my first time to watch it. thanks .
I remember watching "The Champ " with Ricky Schroder and John Voight ,I was crying my eyes out when John died ,wish they still made movies like this .
I Absolutely love seeing this movie just This morning , Wednesday 9-2023 and IRS the same experience as when I first saw it in the 89”s with my parents , such a great memory in my life , I just love the Whole movie from the beautiful scenes in the mountains to the truth of life and death❤😢
One of my all time favorites, first movie to make me cry...

If you hadn't learned by now, Ricky was so impacted by the time he spent with Bill Holden on this film, he named his first son after him
❤Thank you for sharing this entertaining and heartwarming picture.
You're very welcome and glad you enjoyed it.

Good picture & sound quality. Great movie. Thanks for share/ uploading.
Absolutely, your welcome. Sorry for the late reply.
@@BautistaVids ++ Thank you very much. The film is old but a real gold! A classical movie!💯👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing the movie. I watched it many years ago. This is one of movies you can watch over and over and it's still an emotional journey.
You're very welcome & I agree with you.
Thank you for uploading this amazing movie with this great quality.
Such genuine, and pure beautiful movie :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Geat audio and HD. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
The scene where he says he loves him crying. For a moment, it reminds Foley the boy is just a child.
He needed to be held.
This is the best movie I’ve ever seen in my life I love the spectacular Mountain scenes it looks so beautiful. This was sad charming film but I love it. 😊😊❤❤❤🎉
That's pretty much how I feel. I'm glad you appreciate it and that YT allowed me to upload it. 😊

They don't know how to make movies like this anymore. I wish they did.
You got that right ty
The trailer scene makes a lot more sense in the EU version. His anger after the argument explains his recklessness, where as in this version he just seems to be acting kinda nuts for no good reason. Thanks for uploading though mate. This really needs to be more widely known.
Exactly and well said!. You're quite welcome and thanks for your comments.
I left Italy to go to Australia after i saw this movie in 1982, been there 25 years...i got lost.
I loved how he made the sacrifice of teaching the little boy how to be tuff enough to survive by living off the fruits of the land.
He wanted him to bury him, then follow the stream downhill.
I'm 68 yr old male, end made me cry. I do not cry ! 1:22:22 Stopped watching too.
Yep. I'm 50 and still get emotional at about 4 specific end scenes. Foley reminds me of my great grandfather who was my superhero when I was Sean's age.
I have not seen this film in years thanks
You're welcome. BTW - I've just uploaded the EU version if you want to trip out on the some more of the original back story.
Fantastic 👍
Excellent Movie ❤
