I believe this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. It is also (notwithstanding poor Sergeant Howie's torment) one of the most beautiful pieces of film I have ever watched.
The contrast between the eroticism of the Islanders and the repression of Sgt. Howie, the pleasant activiteis depicted and described, and the meloncholic melodies of the songs, all create a sense of forboding, leading up to the realization that evan paradise has a dark side.
It is a seedy contrived paradise though. The paganism is extraordinarily plastic and synthetic. Just like Summerisle's genetically modified fruit and veg that the Hebridean soil is finally rebelling against hence the failed harvest.
Do describe the island as paradise as well as characterising not giving into sexual temptation during a murder investigation as repression is beyond me...
I can't imagine a scene like that in a horror movie nowadays. And look how badass is the way the main antagonist is introduced to the audience. The scene is relying on the tenderness rather than violence or anything else. 👏
That and other elements is what made this Classic which almost got destroyed is what makes this film one of the all time greats and not just in this genre . It is atypical and unique sort of like Sgt. Howie as we later found out in te third act.
GayGeisha , I’m guessing that a lot of these scenes were cut for the American theatrical release, especially the early scenes featuring sgt Howie on the mainland. I’m also betting that that shyster Allen Klein had something to do with it.
I love all the songs from this masterpiece of a film, but this is my favourite. I worked out how to play it on the piano. So erotic, sensuous, nostalgic. I can just lose myself in this song.
My family used to go to Cornwall on holiday in the 70s when I was a kid and the pubs were exactly like this. It's funny, this is "supposed" to be "scary".......but to me it brings nothing but happy, nostalgic memories.
It’s not even a horror film in my mind, not even close, like you said this film is nostalgic and magical, as per this scene, especially this scene! It reminds me of growing up in the 90s when there was still a hangover from the 70s present. All but gone now. It’s bewitching drama and fantasy. Adam, uk
Half of this film was apparently filmed in a village in Scotland called Plockton where I went to High School. Brings back fond memories for me too. The scenes where the masked folks are watching and showing themselves as he walks to the sacrifice are all wee houses I would pass most days when walking to the shop. Great place and great film.
if you don't mind the 3yr belated reply, were one of the places in Cornwall you visited Padstow? not that i'm from Padstow (let alone the UK, i'm American lol) but i've got a feeling the Oss inspired some of the procession in The Wicker Man
In college I wrote an instrumental piece based on the snails in this scene. It was called “An Offering for Aphrodite”. The fabulous music in this is a big part of why this is my favorite movie.
Classic film, a great one from the 70's totally hot as hell and it was decently good. Talking about gently johnny my jingelobe that was some bold shit back in the day. Willow was smoking.
@@broombroomstickempahpahsti4441 Think some of it ended up under the m25 motorway. Christopher Lee loved doing the movie (waived his fee as well) but bemoaned how some of it went missing.
What I love about this scene is how we’re introduced to the sinister side of lord summerisle first, and its the ONLY time we see that sinister side (not even at the end of the film). There’s so much to talk about because of the characters setup being this way, but I don’t have that kind of time, but fucking hell its awesome
Such a classic scene of any movie. The Islanders have sung the song before. Its erotic and so sweetly crafted. So sad it wasn't in the TV aired broadcasting of it years ago.
Oh my yes, I was horrified, when this scene, the one I bought the movie because of, was cut from the film.... Thank you for letting me see it once again
I think i could turn and live with animals. They are so placid and self contained. They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins. They do not make me sick discussing thier duty to god. Not one if them kneel to another or their own kind. Not one of them is respectable or unhappy
Great scene. Contrived, yes, as someone here put it but makes it's point. Which is the real sin....fighting your true nature, or giving in to it and accepting it as a part of you.
I'm thinking all of them. Checking the character list on IMdB the character names given are Willow, Broome, May, Rose, Daisy, Alder, Oak, Holly, Briar, and Ash.
@@nightthornkvala94132 Although I did find myself wondering how this remote isle managed to have a librarian (played by Ingrid Pitt) with a Central European accent.
2:38 I REMEMBER this sampled from something, potentially a metal album or an industrial album. Maybe Neurosis, Skinny Puppy, or some other band from that era. "They do not lie awake ------ They do not make me SICK" repeated several times over and over.
Just watched the re-release with this in it last night at the 99w Drive-In in Newberg, Oregon last night, and I personally loved that this was there. I don't think it detracted from anything, and was a nice buffer between the earlier stuff in the film and "Willow's Song." For me, at least, it made the film flow a bit better. But then, I was pretty high, so I dunno, lol.
Many people who were not high said the same thing, Dan :) Even Robin Hardy felt it flowed better with "Gently Johnny" on the first night and "Willow's Song" on the second.
Absolutely beautiful. The only scene hotter than this is the one where Eklund dances in her room singing 'Willow's Song' and driving the policeman crazy with temptation. THAT is the right was to spend Beltaine. Unfortunately, the prudes at youtube took that video down. Damn shame.
We have something quite magical and you have to bring it down to that! Do I recognise a fellow victim of a Roman Catholic (or equally execrable) education?
@heartsinflight this is on the directors cut of the wicker man i saw the whole version on tv years ago it was the directors cut . It is a beautiful song and it was criminal to cut it from the film.
This song, this enchantment, made me fall in love with this town singlehandedly. I never thought the gods would want a plain, repressed law man for their sacrifice though.
Like any great film such as Once Upon A Time In The West , Wicker Man also features good original music that enhances even to the point of also becoming a Character . However the music never interferes ; it only makes its team player appearance to advance and enhance the story. !
This scene was in the vhs in the USA when I found it in 1997. At the time it was forgotten. Nobody I knew (UK or otherwise) had seen or heard of it. I didn't see it in any video stores in the UK.
@Nagneto You need to get the double DVD, which includes the Director's Cut. It's issued by Studio Canal and there are several for sale on Ebay. Best film ever made!
@@derekhallows9479 You luckily saw the middle version of the film :) When the original film was determined to be lost, Abraxas wanted to release it in any form possible here in the US, but luckily, Roger Corman, to whom a print of the 99 minute version was sent, came through with that print and a 95 minute version was prepared in 1977. :)
@zaragala15312 He made another monologue about apples later on and it was really good but all cut. They said something about the original tapes lying under the M1. Not sure how that happened but that is what they said (excellent documentary on youtube on the wickerman)
There's nae dubbin in this film, Britt Ekland spoke (or tried tae) talk wi a Scottish accent! its maer likely tae be whoever pit in oan here, hasny git it in syncronisation!
I prefer the Aboriginal rite-of-passage, Walkabout, where a young man has to go out and live in the Australian outback for 6 months on his own, he can't come back early and he can't get help. He shows that he can survive out there, that he can find his own food and water, that he can protect and defend himself, and then he comes back a man.
@help4343 Ah, but you realise that Sgt Howie was given the role of King for a Day - the chosen one who is showered with sex and favours for a day, and is then sacrificed for the common good... The villages were not in any danger - none of them were foolish enough to take the role of Fool... which is why Rowan's disappearance was used to lure a Christian to the Isle. The Pagans knew his rigid faith would propel him to the end result
But how can he be king for a day and showered with sex and favours for a day when they need him as a virgin? Besides, in that book he was reading, the chosen sacrifice, either a virgin or the king, was always someone from the community. Can he really count as their sacrifice if he isn't part of that community
0:49 Well that was the stupidest thing you could possibly say - unless you want bad things to happen to you or to someone you care about or to the woman you're talking about, you never say that any mortal woman is equal to or even surpasses Aphrodite or any of the goddesses. If this guy is their religious as well as their community leader, no wonder the crops are failing. And for the record, I don't think this years sacrifice will work. The Librarian talked about whether or not the burial ground could technically be called a graveyard or a churchyard, how could she not say that they couldn't call the sacrifice their sacrifice?
@MondoBeno Well they might have done. Might have done? Well, I am 54, I first watched that film when I was around 18 years old so I guess Brit Eckland may be a tad past it by now ha ha ha ha ha!.......
If such a community of people lived in my town the worse they'd get from the police is a disturbance of the peace, and maybe watch you're arses as you jump over the bonfire's. No objection to mating with the opposite sex though. As for burning, maybe told to keep the noise down. LOOL.
steve mcgill LMAO! Sounds about right for Britain! (Where I live) and "oy! Have you got a license for those animals!? Are you aware this is a massive health and safety risk?" Hahaha
I would have loved this song be in the original version but I really don't know if this scene necessarily adds anything to the structure of the movie. Maybe it would have been nice to have the Christopher Lee monologue somewhere else
As is, I prefer the way the edited version did it, with Willow's song (probably the better of the two) played here as the glimpse of the dynamic we're about to see. This sort of says too much too soon. But it's a good scene on its own. Maybe the best option would have been for the two scenes to just trade places in the movie.
“For they do not make me sick discussing their “duty to God”. That’s pretty rich coming from a guy who painstakingly arranged to conduct a human sacrifice in order to appease the god of the field. The worst part about Lord Summerisle was that he was a hypocrite. lol
One thing I'm really curious about though that if you would have wound up going next door and banging Willow would they've still sacrificed him probably not yeah he really made some poor choices
I don't think so. The point of the plan is that they chose a sacrifice the thought they could tempt but who'd be able to withstand it, so when the time came, they could say they gave him plenty of chances to make himself ineligible - he remained a suitable sacrifice of his own free will.
@@dskcgaming2109 Not sure what they would have done had Howie been tempted. Perhaps they would have had Rowan 'turn up', sent Howie on his way, then sacrificed Rowan after all? Howie was the 'perfect' sacrifice but if the plan hadn't worked out they would still have thought they had to sacrifice somebody. Maybe losing his virginity would have made Howie less than ideal, but still suitable - he came of his own free will, claimed the power of a king for himself, etc, after all.
I can never figure out about the Boy that is brougt to Willow It seems like a pre sacrifice Of some sort from the conversation Willow has With the man who brings to boy to her window

one of my favourite scenes from any movie ever. the song, the whitman poem and the whole vibe of the scene is quite bewitching.

My favorite scene in the movie by far.
Happy to say ive drank in the Ellengowan in Creetown where the pub scene was filmed, unfortunately now is a sad state. Love this song, best ever.
Very interesting to hear that, the local pub from my very small hometown in Australia is called that too
