It’s crazy,Jane Fonda’s voice is honestly exactly the same to me here in this 1980’s movie as it is now in 2020❤️🌹 This movie looks so good and sad/suspenseful 😩😢❤️
A true masterpiece, I remember this film and I have waited long for it. Thanx for posting. I'd like to read the book also. I only saw the movie once, and I remember it very well. We need more films like this.
Cuando el cine era arte. Grandes actuaciones de Fonda y Redgrave. Una historia de valor, valentía y dignidad. Maravillosa película. Una de mis preferidas por siempre.
I just love movie trailers from the 1970's .I still like many of the newer one but there is something about that time they really drew you into the story.
Quite a lot of her memoir exaggerated and made up stories about the extent of her involvement in the Spanish Civil War and World War II, as it contradicted quite a lot of what was said by other notable people who were there. The real person on whom Julia is believed to have been based never even knew her.
One issue I have with this film, aside from the fact that Lillian Hellman made it up and presented it as fact, is that the actors who play the "young" ones are in their 20s playing teens and don't really resemble Jane Fonda or Vanessa Redgrave who are about 39 and supposed to be in their 20s. They should have just had one set of actors instead of two, unless they were depicting kids.
JULIA (1977) with Jane Fonda is my favorite film. But Vanessa Redgrave's performance as Julia shines in a film filled with great performances. Set in the 1930's, the themes of anti-fascism, friendship, art and theater are blended to perfection. The apogee is the tense, fraught scene between Hellman and Julia in a Berlin tavern as Hellman smuggles in cash for anti-Nazi activities, and while Fonda is excellent, Fonda herself said Redgrave's performance was on an entirely elevated level.
Several things struck me in this beautiful film. First can anyone recognise the game Julia plays with her companion towards the end involving reciting a story and adding details until the action cuts out by what is said? Secondly is there a lesbian subtext to all the friendship or was it entirely devoid of sexual attraction...was Julia irresistible because she was Julia.? Thirdly I simply love seeing the perfectly reenacted corps of the League of German Maidens who throng the train and the station when Jane Fonda goes to Berlin. Hitlers famously designed uniforms in such evidence and the whole milieu so well evoked. Yes I could believe in every frame of this film and nice to see Meryl Streep in an early role as well as Fonda at her very best and Vanessa Redgrave playing a character with whom everyone would soon be enamoured. The tragedy snuffs her out too quickly.
The real-life story of Muriel Gardiner is worth knowing about. If Lillian Hellmann's fictional story helps Gardiner be better-known, I can't complain. And the movie has some narrative validity, regardless. When I was growing up, I was the sort of kid who couldn't cross the log bridge, and would've needed to wade through the creek. I wish I'd've had a supportive friend like Julia, who'd have told me it's OK not to try to do what I can't do.
@Wanessa Lima: In your description, you say that "Julia" stars Jane Fonda, Vanessa Redgrave, Meryl Streep, etc. The movie hardly stars Ms. Streep. It was one of her first film appearances; she has two miniscule scenes, and in one of them, at Sardi's, the night of the opening of "The Children's Hour," she hasn't a single line. . However, you have her name mentioned before Maximilian Schell and Jason Robards! Hey, I love Meryl, and who doesn't? But "starring Meryl Streep? Hardly!
Although in fact not a starring rôle, not so objectionable as to make an issue of it. Younger audiences might look up the movie further who otherwise would not. Same can reasonably be the case with 'Manhattan' and 'The Deer Hunter.'
This is based on a true story, one which Lillian Hellman experienced first hand. And how typical for the rich girl, Regrave, to risk her life and lose her leg to help this cause who did nothing for her in return including caring for or about her child. Filthy bastards. Hellman went to her grave with her secret re the identity of the players.
HBB I read that Hellman appropriated the life story of another woman, a doctor. the doctor had the same agent as Hellman and the agent told the story to Hellman and helped her to write a book proposal passing it off as her own. I have no way of knowing whether this is true but I remember reading the accusation when it was made publicly.
@@haw95 You may rest assured that it was/is COMPLETELY true. I had the honor and the pleasure of being a friend of Muriel Gardiner's until her death in 1985. (I will be 66 in November 2020). Hellman appropriated Muriel's career in the Austrian anti-Nazi resistance, and wrote a bogus memoir with herself as the heroine. If you want to read the true story, track down a copy of Muriel's memoir "Code Name Mary: Memoirs of an American Woman in the Austrian Underground." Every detail of Muriel's account was amply vouched for, both by the people whose lives she saved (approximately 600), as well as by the surviving members of the Austrian Resistance. The exact opposite is true of Hellman's account; no one in Austria ever heard of any "Julia", or indeed of ANY American woman in the Resistance other than Muriel herself.
OF COURSE IT WAS COMMON! It wasn't out in the open then the way it is now, but it was certainly common. And as for the film, lesbianism is a side issue at best, as Lillian and Julia are not shown to be lovers. If they were, you might have a point. The whole movie, anyway, is fiction masquerading as autobiography.
Here's your fiction ...Lillian Hellman being portrayed by Jane Fonda...wishful thinking...would have more realistic if the Hellman character was portrayed by Golda Meir or a reasonable facsimile. as Hellman looked nothing like Jane Fonda
I am glad I own this movie, it truly is a masterpiece of the seventies, with a strong cast.
35年前中学生の時深夜映画で観ました。ビデオに撮ってなんども観ました。この作品に巡り逢ったことを感謝します
I watched this movie many times. This movie teaches us what the noble spirit is.
Greetings from Japan.
It’s crazy,Jane Fonda’s voice is honestly exactly the same to me here in this 1980’s movie as it is now in 2020❤️🌹
This movie looks so good and
sad/suspenseful 😩😢❤️
She is a good actress, but her politics are atrocious.
Ms Fonda has a beautiful voice.
@@thinkforyourself2109 I won't disagree.
A wonderful movie, great story and great actresses and actors. Fred Zinnemann was a great director
A true masterpiece, I remember this film and I have waited long for it. Thanx for posting. I'd like to read the book also. I only saw the movie once, and I remember it very well. We need more films like this.
It’s on again this week...

Es una gran película con un reparto de primera, pero una historia muy triste!
I was named after this film :)
I am thinking of naming my baby girl Julia who is on the way.
fantastic movie!
A Masterpiece
A great film. You can see Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave together again in the film, The Butler!
Meryl Plays a small but important role in "Julia"
I just love movie trailers from the 1970's .I still like many of the newer one but there is something about that time they really drew you into the story.
Great movie
Some of Murch’s best editing.
The anti-Nazi German underground was a fascinating story in itself. Another good story on that topic is "Shadows In Paradise" by Erich Maria Remarque.
Probably a much better story, since it turned out Lillian Hellman was full of shit.
Sam Huddy Can you elaborate? Thanks.
Quite a lot of her memoir exaggerated and made up stories about the extent of her involvement in the Spanish Civil War and World War II, as it contradicted quite a lot of what was said by other notable people who were there. The real person on whom Julia is believed to have been based never even knew her.
Sam, while what you say may be true, it still is a great story as a work of fiction.

Such a nice Remington portable, and she had to treat it so cruelly.
I had a portable and it cost me a lot. Had to work hard to buy it. Actions of a spoilt brat.

ótimo filme
Lindissimo!!!
Great movie!
How can I watch this wonderful film? Saw it once a long time ago but it is not in your tube.
So you'll all know, this movie was pure boloney. It never happened. This was all in Lillian Hellman's imagination. ps: there was no Julia
Anyone who can post the whole video of this movie in you tube? I really appreciate it.Thank you in advance.
Meryl Streep's role was, at best, miniscule.
Think about this. The difference in the timline of the movie and 1977 is the same as 1977 and today. Weird to think about.
@Wanessa Lima: In your description, you say that "Julia" stars Jane Fonda, Vanessa Redgrave, Meryl Streep, etc. The movie hardly stars Ms. Streep.

She does speak a few lines, especially when she hints at the lesbianism between Lillian and Julia.
Although in fact not a starring rôle, not so objectionable as to make an issue of it.
Younger audiences might look up the movie further who otherwise would not.
Same can reasonably be the case with 'Manhattan' and 'The Deer Hunter.'
have you seen the film?
I've own it and have watched it often.
Small, yes. Important? Hardly!
about Muriel-Gardiner-Buttinger the Wife of my Granduncle ! I am very proud !
Vi solo una vez esta película. Es hermosísima, también el tema se podrá conseguir completa??
Um grande filme e atores
bello e interessante
as I posted the brother implies, lesbanism. perhaps I was not clear to you, not common in film in the 30s or 70s as I was discussing the film
Me gustaria ver la pelicula en español.Donde puedo verla ? Gracias
vanessa was such a peach
Please download Julia film for me please !!
Watching the trailer, I forgot the title of the film... could someone help me?
"Julia."
Alguien podria bajar esta pelicula en Español? Gracias
not common in film in the 30s or 70s, as I was posting about the film.
Jane Fonda is really magical in this film. She radiates jewishness and seems to capture some feminine spirit from the 1930s.

And how typical for the rich girl, Regrave, to risk her life and lose her leg to help this cause who did nothing for her in return including caring for or about her child. Filthy bastards.

Wow, thank you so much! Awesome and so glad the baby survived and is alive! God bless and thank you again for the info!

That might be the best of both worlds!
Bit of a pot-boiler - but acting to die for.
isnt the narrator the same guy from the twilight zone??
Meryl plays a small and unimportant role in "Julia."
Bet no one new a star in the making was in their mist
Spoiler.... The Nazis lost
Aren't you the guy who told me that Titanic boat sank - and spoilt the movie for me.

Not rely unimportant, as the brother implies lesbianism, not common in the 30's or 70's.
s/b not really unimportant
"A true story" yikes...

Barbra Streisand was the right choice un my opinion.
I always dislike the "doesn't look like" excuse. Olivier didn't look anything like Richard III.
