When I was 15 my mom divorced and we lost the farm house we grew up in. 20 years to the month I bought the house back. Tomorrow I am taking my mother back. She doesn't know. She hasn't been there in 20 years. That home meant everything to her and will again
@@luisandrade5500 She cried. A lot. We found old pictures of ours in a box in the basement. It was a great feeling. We are all moved in now. Its been a amazing change of life. Thank you for asking.
Such an amazing thing for you. Don't know you, but I'm very happy you were able to achieve something so meaningful. Nothing but respect for you my guy (or girl), well done.
+Fit Guyonline Jup, just because some historians and wanna be historians thought this wasn't accurate it was downgrated to just a avarage popcorn flick, when it's so much more! Definitely one of the best movies from the past 15 years, same goes for Sunshine btw.
sunshine was fucking brilliant... but i get why people dont like this movie.. its had potential too be great. some of the greatest actors ever assembled was in it.. but something is missing somehow.. some dialogue wasent giving properly.
It is, but then again, it also has some bad moments. Don't get me wrong, compared to some modern pieces, it's very good, but at the time, it didn't stand. Worst part, i bet that with a little more work on the editing floor from a better editor, this could've been a far better movie.
wow didn't know he passed away until I read this comment. So young too. Been a fan of his since HBO's Rome or Punisher movie forgot which one came first.
I don't know what other may think, but this is by far the best scene in the movie. To watch them all happy but at the same time fearful that such moment as themselves being free doesn't exist.
+bob tony Something was lacking, I can't really put my finger on it.... maybe the poor villain. Maybe the Picts should have been shown more and maybe it was Clive Owen, his acting in this movie wasn't exactly stellar... This movie missed by a little being great.
+Vlad Bayard I agree. They had a mixture of some amazing actors, scenery, music, but there was also some awful dialogue or actors that couldn't pull it off. I didn't care for Knightly or the Picts (or the actors that played the father/son Picts.) It was a good movie, but it could have been so much better.
+bob tony I enjoyed the movie and didn't mind the sub-par acting at some points, but the reason I couldn't appreciate it as much as I wanted to was because it lacked more scenes like this. This movies themes are the longing for home and misplaced identities in a fading empire, yet the movie jumps around from scene to scene so much, it never gave the audience enough time to appreciate their journey. This take on King Arthur would have made a much better trilogy. More time could have been spent developing these characters and showing the audience the conflicts and struggles of that age.
+bob tony Because this deserved either a trilogy or a 10-part mini series on HBO. To this day, the only character that truly *was* a fleshed out character was Bors. And while he is hilarious, I wish I could've gotten to know each of the other knights and characters with equal screen time. Would've made their various sacrifices much more poignant.
Yes, it definitely had an atmosphere.However I remembered from this movie mainly the music.The actors not so much.Not that they were entirely bad, but that my own subjective experience.
Never noticed before but Bors is actually crying upon hearing the song. A strong and battle hardened man and yet the thing that moves him to tears is a song about home. His buddy Dag also looked very sad when he heard the song as well. Powerful shit.
Land of bear and land of eagle Land that gave us birth and blessing Land that called us ever homewards We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains Land of freedom land of heroes Land that gave us hope and memories Hear our singing hear our longing We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains Land of sun and land of moonlight Land that gave us joy and sorrow Land that gave us love and laughter We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains When the land is there before us We have gone home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains
This movie (especially the director's cut) is way better than people give it credit for. Arthur and the companionship he shares with his knights is by far the best part. Just look at this scene and how much you learn about each of the knights just by watching their expressions upon hearing a song from their homelands. I just wish they'd been given more screentime individually.
yeah, this in my opinion is the best cast of characters/actors ever assembled...since at the time, the only one really known (here in the US anyway) was Keira Knightly. so it was like they were unknowns but we all know now that they are the best in the biz. but the movie had to be big, so the character development had to be compromised. but it is in my top 2 fav;s (neck-in-neck with Last of the Mohicans).
@@geolinkin6579 Lol I'll give you Skarsgard, Mikkelsen, and Edgerton, but that's literally it. The rest are solid actors, but nowhere near the best in the business.
Having watched "Rome", "Amazing Grace", "Warrior" and "Hannibal" and noticing the lead actors being in this movies together as the Knigths of the round table is the cherry on top for a movie maniac!
I personally find it fascinating how this song brings forth such strong emotions for almost everyone. There is no doubt in my mind that warriors and people from even 1000s of years ago, could have heard this and felt the same longing that we do today. The human condition is one that connects those from our past, with those we cannot even imagine in the future.
This movie is the most realistic approach of an Portrayal of King Arthur and his Knights. I don't get, why this movie wasn't praised higher back at its release? Movie like this would be a masterpiece in todays standards.
got to remember the movies released that year that would be considered in the genre, troy with brad pitt, alexander with colin ferrel, not to mention the blockbusters like spider man 2, dodgeball, irobot, without a paddle, hellboy, anchorman, harry potter 3, f'ing passion of the christ, and even that damned notebook movie, no wonder this one went unnoticed by most.
Best King Arthur movie is Excalibur. See King Arthur is a myth and legend. It's supposed to be fantastical. I like the idea that what if we try to make a movie on a realistic version of him which might have inspired the legend but it just wasn't that impactful in terms of cinema. The movie feels drab at times.
@@gabbar51ngh well King Arthur was a Legend. But it has some real roots like: The Anglo-Saxon-War, The Romans leaving britian, The Picts as enemies of the romans, the Battle on BadonHill (Ambrosius Aurelianus). and more. Personally i´d like to see an historical aproach on King Arthur, without all the Fantasytales, wich were added in the end of middle-age. You see the problem is that some legends were just written down badly in history so, we today can just interprete if it was real or not. The same happened with Beowulf, or Nibelungen-saga. There are some reasons why i dont like Excalibur (Movie) it´s fantasy + even more fantasy. These armors are the strangest things i have ever seen. It´s so far away from the real early middle-age that the armors feel (look) like from a modern video-game. Also i didnt have nostalgia for that movie and watched it the first time 2 years ago. And viewing all the other movies of King-Arthur before, it felt strange for me. Funny thing is: that im born in 1995 and totaly was into all middle-age movies-comics and so on (like PrinceValiant comics i totally liked the design of KingArthur and Camelot even if it was also completely fantasy) And if someone showed me "Excalibur" when i was a kid i would have even liked it.
@@Aldiraider That whole idea that King Arthur was some Roman military leader is Samartian hypothesis. There's no way to tell if that's accurate or know what even happened at that time. Some Characters like Lancelot were added by French and not originally part of story. There's similarly conflicting problems with Merlin's origins. So this movie is as much fictional as a fantastical one and it strays away from what's already established about this legendary King to us. That's what I am trying to say. Plus villains in the movie acted so dumb from time to time. They didn't really looked that challenging. Entire story is such a mixture of several legends from various places that trying to retrofit it all in one historical event wouldn't really work. I like the attempt of the movie but Merlin as some leader of picts? Guinevere belonging to them? Lancelot dying so early on? If director was going that route, I just believe they could have taken more liberty in making a more impactful movie. Merlin could have been shown as inventor, philosopher or science enthusiast of that time hence why he was considered a "dark wizard" to some. As for Guinevere, they could have shown her as daughter of a tribe leader or a Warlord if they couldn't go full fledged princess route. King Arthur marries her inorder to secure an army to win? As for Excalibur, it could be just a sword which had been incredibly lucky and gifted by religious order to him after he saved them. It has no magical properties but Arthur believes it has? And Arthur and his nights routinely outsmart larger forces by using tricks, traps and help of Merlin. They don't need to add supernatural but if they're going the non fantastical route then so much could have been done while still keeping elements of the actual King Arthur stories. The movie completely ignored that. Excalibur movie also shows how these characters weren't so moral or idealistic which is often omitted. This King Arthur movie doesn't separate itself from other theatrical versions and tries to paint a very romanticized picture.
Besides the power and grace of the song, This is one of the best scenes in the movie.... here is why. These men for who life is war 15 years fighting just to survive to go home. The knights always seem at the tip of readiness, tense, never at ease. Then vanora starts to sings and (to the all actors credit) you can see in there faces just for a moment the pressure subsides and they get the barest glimpse of peacefulness on there faces and then the very second she stops singing they snap back to the ready. Yes its a party, they think there freedom is mere moments away but still you can almost feel the tension they carry. Vanora's gift isn't just the song or her voice. She soothes these weary and harden men with nothing more then her heartfelt song. Edit: Thank you all for the likes and comments, really nice of you all. Be well and stay safe.
... you can also see the sadness of missing their homeland, one is even with his eyes close (at 1:14), perhaps imagining being back on their lands. This makes me sad every time I watch it.
And then Arthur appears in the background, having to tell his men that they are not yet free. It's a very touching scene, one of my favorites. I love this film in general.
Their faces tell it all...one desperately tries to recapture what is left/lost... one that realises that they are not the same people anymore, nowhere to go back... so sad. an amazing scene and acting...
I could watch this scene on repeat for hours. there is so much talent in this movie, I just never realized it when I was younger. now I recognize all of them and its like, "What??? give this casting director all the money in the world!"
I signed up for military service and a year later this movie came out i remember being in the theater when this scene came up it hit me hard, I was stationed in North Carolina and my home is California where the bear is on our state flag and eagles can be spotted along the coast or mountains, from where I was stationed my home was over the mountains the Rocky mountains, it made me so homesick, i never fully understood the feelings of characters like i did at that moment.
What a pity the studio didn’t have the ambition to tell this story as a series - this scene would have been so powerful as the opening to the final film.
Agree with the other comments ....just wish this could have been issued (in a full version ....the "Arthur !" interruption is so raw) . The deep bass drone on this is gorgeous : you don't get that on the many youTube vids of the original song plus the "Sorrow" piece that seems to bridge this scene.....
Land of bear and Land of eagle Land that gave us birth and blessing Land that pulled us ever homewards We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home, across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home, singing our song Hear our singing, Hear our longing We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home, across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home, we will go - home.
Damn theres some great actors in this film.. Clive Owen, Ray Stevenson, Mads Mickelson, Ioan Gufford, Ray winston, Joel Egerton, Stellan Skarsgard.. Superb 👍
EASILY the best scene of the entire film and this song / arrangement (sans the interruption at 1:22) should've been on the soundtrack! We needed a full version of this! So good.
Whenever I hear this I think of the Scottish Highlanders who joined the British army after the clearances just so they could survive. On the far side of the Empire fighting and dying for a cause not their own - longing for their clansmen, longing for the glens, longing for home.
That makes me think of Colonel Munro who fought in the French and Indian War. He must have longed for his bonnie homeland while General Montcalm and his native allies laid siege to Fort William Henry.
redsx3785 Why the aggression friend? besides I don’t follow your logic. Mentions Highlanders serving in British Army in 1800’s = SNP supporter. Bit of a jump there.
What I loved best about this movie was the camaraderie and chemistry the Knights created with one another. As someone who has fought and served in a combat unit, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger bond between men than that of those who have shared combat with one another. The movie presented this very well.
Sarmatians in my opinion where the best auxiliaries in the Roman army second only to the Tungrians Auxiliaries who where also stationed in Britain. Damn shame those at the end when Rome pulled the last Legion out of Britannia never did get to go home. Damn good warriors
So.Let me get this straight.Arthur's adventuring party had amongst it's members the punisher,Hannibal,Mr Fantastic and last,but sure as the Nine Hells not least,Beowulf.Holy shit.
Underrated movie and probably the best scene of the film. No words, yet through their facial expressions you can see how tired they are of war, and how anxious they are that they are so close to freedom.
undertated movie and also remind me old days very nostalgic can any one answer me why this movie make a noise like troy and 300 and clash of titants how come???????????
Serving overseas, a lot of times, it feels as if we are the outcasts, the rebels, the exiled, I think thats why such a strong brotherhood is created, we fight and defend for a home we have to be away from for many years. We are honored to serve, but somedays, we are humbled that at the end of our service, we will go home...
Dagonet loves Vanora, silently, quietly, and is at peace with it. Just look at him and how this scene is filmed through his eyes. So subtle, and so moving.
What people need to rememberbis the what is now England was then ruled by tribes of Britons and parts under Roman rule, not English! The English are Saxons,normans and other invading tribes who eventually pushed the Britons to what is now Wales,Cornwall and Brittany the English are immigrants! The word for England in Welsh is "Lloegr" which means "lost land"
If someone was to ask me what is my favorite movie, I would put this in my top 5. I really loved this movie and have watched it many times! I love this version of the song and dont understand why it is not on the soundtrack!
The guy that says "Arthur" at the end looks like the actor who plays Will Graham for the Hannibal television series. Even weirder is that Mads Mikkelsen is also in this movie.
Fantastic film absolutely love it and everything about Arthur and his knights, the movie soundtrack was great but this song should have been longer in the film
You're confusing mercenaries with conscripts. Mercenaries are voluntary soldiers who fight for a fee and conscripts are civilians forced into military service against their own will. They are the latter obviously.
Liutprando D. Drang Lol! I saw that mess of a movie some months back. A waste of my money.🤦🏽♀️ I love this version with Clive Owen and Kiera Knightly.
I don't know if the true story of King Arthur is this, but it's a great story. This song was mixed with other great piece of music, "Sorrow", sang with the incredible voice of Lisa Gerrard
Land of bear and Land of eagle Land that gave us birth and blessing Land that pulled us ever homewards We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home, across... i love this
One of the best movies with one of the illest scenes... Gets me every time! I'm Mexican and I use this Celtic style ( I think lol) song to put my baby to sleep it's great
"Don't bury me in our sad little cemetery.Burn me. Burn me, and cast my ashes to a strong east wind."
This gave me chills
Same
Greatest movie that is under appreciated
Song of home. Sorry black peoples
It’s perfect just the way it is to me. Drives home that sense of longing.
It’s criminal they didn’t extend this song and make it part of the soundtrack
Same thought: criminal
SOOOO MUCH THIS!! SOOO MUCH!! God its so incredibly beautiful & eerie & got chopped by the talking.

Nailed it
And then Arthur appears in the background, having to tell his men that they are not yet free. It's a very touching scene, one of my favorites. I love this film in general.
Their faces tell it all...one desperately tries to recapture what is left/lost... one that realises that they are not the same people anymore, nowhere to go back... so sad. an amazing scene and acting...

You could see lancelot deep in thought wondering about home
Ray Stevenson/Dagonet has gone home. ...R.I.P.
I wish this track would go on repeat forever...
Was in Afghanistan listening to this, i never longed for England more.
Irony being the English were the invaders who Arthur was fighting against
England has fallen to the savages
I could watch this scene on repeat for hours. there is so much talent in this movie, I just never realized it when I was younger. now I recognize all of them and its like, "What??? give this casting director all the money in the world!"

You can see Bors about to tear up. This scene kills me😢
RIP RAY STEVENSON 🙏🏾 you finally get go home and rest💯 rest up king 💯
This is one of the best movies I have seen in my lifetime ❤️! And this scene is a class! Anyone in 2019?
I signed up for military service and a year later this movie came out i remember being in the theater when this scene came up it hit me hard, I was stationed in North Carolina and my home is California where the bear is on our state flag and eagles can be spotted along the coast or mountains, from where I was stationed my home was over the mountains the Rocky mountains, it made me so homesick, i never fully understood the feelings of characters like i did at that moment.
hans zimmer are one of the best cinema music composer! I love his music very much!
What a pity the studio didn’t have the ambition to tell this story as a series - this scene would have been so powerful as the opening to the final film.
I know everyone here FEELS this,who else feels the pull,the want to find your place?
I just love how Valora's voice fades away to the somber vocals of this song. Wish I could find a version just like this.
sang this while on patrol in Afghanistan every day
Agree with the other comments ....just wish this could have been issued (in a full version ....the "Arthur !" interruption is so raw) . The deep bass drone on this is gorgeous : you don't get that on the many youTube vids of the original song plus the "Sorrow" piece that seems to bridge this scene.....
worst part ever is when they say "ArTHAH!!".... "ATHAH!!"
FFS why couldn't this be longer? MUCH longer.
😂😂🤣
Arfur
Land of bear and
Land of eagle
Land that gave us birth and blessing
Land that pulled us ever homewards
We will go home across the mountains
We will go home, we will go home
We will go home, across the mountains
We will go home, we will go home
We will go home, singing our song
Hear our singing,
Hear our longing
We will go home across the mountains
We will go home, we will go home
We will go home, across the mountains
We will go home, we will go home
We will go home, we will go - home.
I love how they show each knights face in turn. The looks on their faces is heartbreaking. Great acting, great movie, great everything.
Damn theres some great actors in this film.. Clive Owen, Ray Stevenson, Mads Mickelson, Ioan Gufford, Ray winston, Joel Egerton, Stellan Skarsgard..
Superb 👍
the "ARTHAH ARTHAH!" at the end still cracks me up.
lovely song.. way to short but i think thats part of the charm. a smol gold nugget.
I would love to have this song just as it is in the movie don’t add anything to it’s perfect the way it is
EASILY the best scene of the entire film and this song / arrangement (sans the interruption at 1:22) should've been on the soundtrack! We needed a full version of this! So good.
Arguably for me one of the best minutes in cinema...I put it right next to the moment when young William Wallace was given a thistle in Braveheart.
Whenever I hear this I think of the Scottish Highlanders who joined the British army after the clearances just so they could survive. On the far side of the Empire fighting and dying for a cause not their own - longing for their clansmen, longing for the glens, longing for home.
That makes me think of Colonel Munro who fought in the French and Indian War. He must have longed for his bonnie homeland while General Montcalm and his native allies laid siege to Fort William Henry.
shut up you SNP boi
redsx3785 Why the aggression friend? besides I don’t follow your logic. Mentions Highlanders serving in British Army in 1800’s = SNP supporter. Bit of a jump there.
RIP Ray - One of my favourite actors, gone too soon.
What I loved best about this movie was the camaraderie and chemistry the Knights created with one another. As someone who has fought and served in a combat unit, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger bond between men than that of those who have shared combat with one another. The movie presented this very well.
This is actually a good movie! Definitely recommend it.
fucking bors lmao x/D
where are all my bastards at, have you been fighting, have you been winning
This scene is fkin heartbreaking :/ And the music is just perfect...
Sarmatians in my opinion where the best auxiliaries in the Roman army second only to the Tungrians Auxiliaries who where also stationed in Britain. Damn shame those at the end when Rome pulled the last Legion out of Britannia never did get to go home. Damn good warriors
Such a stellar cast. And everyone is looking FINE.
So.Let me get this straight.Arthur's adventuring party had amongst it's members the punisher,Hannibal,Mr Fantastic and last,but sure as the Nine Hells not least,Beowulf.Holy shit.
LOL. Dont forget Titus Pullo (Ray Stevenson, Rome)
Eric Smiley Ray Stevenson also played the punisher.
Ray Stevenson also played Volstagg, an Asgardian.
And their enemy was Eric Selvig.
KingAuthur, a truly epic movie... especially for those of us who are warriors
Not warriors, this song goes for all of us.
Can she sing me to sleep every night? Voice of an angel for real
Underrated movie and probably the best scene of the film. No words, yet through their facial expressions you can see how tired they are of war, and how anxious they are that they are so close to freedom.
This piece should definitely be extended. It's so haunting as Lisa Gerrard begins with her amazing voice.
undertated movie and also remind me old days very nostalgic can any one answer me why this movie make a noise like troy and 300 and clash of titants how come???????????
Serving overseas, a lot of times, it feels as if we are the outcasts, the rebels, the exiled, I think thats why such a strong brotherhood is created, we fight and defend for a home we have to be away from for many years. We are honored to serve, but somedays, we are humbled that at the end of our service, we will go home...
It is 2020 and i still love this movie
Nobody loves peace more than a soldier.
You cry knowing there is no home to go to
And that several of them will never have the chance to go back.
Dagonet loves Vanora, silently, quietly, and is at peace with it. Just look at him and how this scene is filmed through his eyes.
So subtle, and so moving.
Good lesson to learn from this movie "if you are to live by the sword than you will almost definitly die by the sword"
What people need to rememberbis the what is now England was then ruled by tribes of Britons and parts under Roman rule, not English! The English are Saxons,normans and other invading tribes who eventually pushed the Britons to what is now Wales,Cornwall and Brittany the English are immigrants! The word for England in Welsh is "Lloegr" which means "lost land"
@Alexander Smith DAS RITE!
If someone was to ask me what is my favorite movie, I would put this in my top 5. I really loved this movie and have watched it many times! I love this version of the song and dont understand why it is not on the soundtrack!
Most underrated movie of all time
2024 and I'm here again!!! Love this movie
The guy that says "Arthur" at the end looks like the actor who plays Will Graham for the Hannibal television series. Even weirder is that Mads Mikkelsen is also in this movie.
+Dillon Jensen That IS Will and the guy who played Tristan is Hannibal. They met on this set.
Lol, that's Hugh Dancy. He is the guy in Hannibal alongside Mads :D
A very underrated movie. Has its place along "troy" "kingdom of heaven" and the best pictures of the genre.
"Oh a song i like"
Studio: "You can't have it"
"Thanks!"
Morgan Freeman "Thats not supposed to be out"
*Puts it back in the drawer
Fantastic film absolutely love it and everything about Arthur and his knights, the movie soundtrack was great but this song should have been longer in the film
You are right..so upsetting that it isn't.
although the movie wasent a great succes this scene makes a deep impact on the viewer.
R.I.P. Ray. You are truly missed...home across the mountains
This is scene is just etched into my memory forever!
Sing, woman! SING!!
Land of bear and land of eagle
Land that gave us birth and blessing
Land that called us ever homewards
We will go home across the mountains
This song hit me hard when I was in the submarine service on deployment.
I didn't know Hannibal and Will were in this movie lol
The song of every Soldier far from home. The wish of the families far removed. The solace of their return by plane or box.
We will (all) go home.
I miss movies like this, someone still here 2021?😬
Best scene of the whole movie!
God this speaks on so many levels...
Love it! As a former warrior that longed to go home after hard combat, this songs pretty much sums it up.
The best king Arthur movie out there
You're confusing mercenaries with conscripts. Mercenaries are voluntary soldiers who fight for a fee and conscripts are civilians forced into military service against their own will. They are the latter obviously.
This Is the King Arthur movie, Not that magic shit of 2017
Liutprando D. Drang Lol! I saw that mess of a movie some months back. A waste of my money.🤦🏽♀️
I love this version with Clive Owen and Kiera Knightly.
So true
I don't know if the true story of King Arthur is this, but it's a great story. This song was mixed with other great piece of music, "Sorrow", sang with the incredible voice of Lisa Gerrard
This makes me wanna see the movie again .... man I LOOOVE this movie !!!
If this doesn’t give you the chills im sorry for you. This is sooooo good.
wow i love it i want the sound start at 00:38 anyone know about this pls
Lisa Gerrard- Sorrow
Cesar Torres It's "Amergin's Invocation".
One of my all Time favorites and not much people talk about it
Such a great movie. I love it so much. Hans Zimmer is amazing. The legend is epic.
Land of bear and Land of eagle Land that gave us birth and blessing Land that pulled us ever homewards We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home, across...
i love this
Sing about home......
So few left after so so many years they yearn to be free
One of the best movies with one of the illest scenes... Gets me every time! I'm Mexican and I use this Celtic style ( I think lol) song to put my baby to sleep it's great
Done it with both of my children, they almost feel this scene emitting from you right?
@@nathanleigh3486 calms him down with the quickness
Such a beautiful movie soundtrack one of my favourite films ever ❤
This song is so powerful.
Great cast in this film.
Clive Owen
Keira Knightly
Ion Groffoud
