One of the most overlooked & under appreciated movies ever made.
I know, when I was a kid I thought the movie sucked because I didn't see Liam fight with the alpha wolf. I mean I was disappointed because of the trailer and then the movie. As I got older I realized the meaning of the movie and hits hard once I understood it more
This is a metaphysical, spiritual movie.
The angry prayer that the protagonist makes to God at the end of the film has already been heard at the beginning. God finally grants him the grace to die fighting.
Absolutely. People said how a helicopter or something should have appeared during that prayer but I think that would've ruined the film completely and obliterated the message behind it. The wolves saved him from killing himself (howling) and then later gave him the ability to fight to survive and "want that next breath". Amazing film. Probably way too deep for most people.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 anyone that says that should’ve happened clearly doesn’t understand the message of the film. It would’ve contradicted what it is!
@@aamesworld exactly. The fact that he says "I'll do it myself" and then places the wallets in a crucifix shape, before strapping up for his last fight he'll ever know, tells me that God WAS listening and gave him the strength to continue. The post credits scene and another pic from that scene heavily indicate that the alpha and Ottway both kill each other and die laying on top of one another. I guess it's also possible that Ottway lived and was eventually found with the GPS tracker from the watch that John Diaz gave him. This film is amazing and doesnt dare spoonfeed the audience and I love that soooo much. Ottway in the beginning, walking into an extremely loud and wild bar full of people but drowns it all out to silence is a PERFECT depiction of depression and loneliness. As was the dream after the crash where he's in bed with his wife (who we don't know is dead yet) and is suddenly YANKED from under the covers of her warm embrace back to the cold freezing harsh reality of the aftermath of the crash. This film is literally "next level" type brilliant.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 yep it’s definitely one of the most slept on movies I’ve ever encountered
God not real
the sad thing about this is that liam was asked to write a letter to his wife who had passed away for real
"and i've stopped doing this world any real good."
really adds more depth to that line when you think about this
Ditty for real? Holy crap, I had no idea. This brings a new depth to this movie and moves me even more. Damn.
link? sounds too fake
It's true. It makes this movie even more deep than it already is.
Danny Danko she wasn’t wearing a helmet and had a fall on the slopes causing a sub Dural haemorrhage, very nasty thing, that’s why if you bang your head always go to the ER and get checked out, Natasha thought she was alright until she collapsed in the hotel, tragic ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
1:08 really captures what depression is like. You can be surrounded by so many people but hear no one. You feel like everyone and everything is a million miles away.
Sadness over an event is real, sadness for the sake of being sad is like a drug.. I know from experience. Chemicals in our brain should never be enough to conquer our will. We romanticize being depressed too much. Anyone can flip the switch one day and say 'No more..' and lead a healthy, happy life.
@@retrotechgames-diyrepair4691 bullshit, you obviously have never suffered with major depression so.
People who say just pull up your bootstraps are the most moronic fools who should not be near someone who is suffering.
At least if you know why your down, like a bereavement theres some solace in that.
But to feel like that and not know why is hell.
@@retrotechgames-diyrepair4691 wish it were that easy.
@@retrotechgames-diyrepair4691 Who romanticizes being depressed? Depression sucks I cant even imagine wanting to be depressed. There are some strange people so I can see how some people would I guess...
@@retrotechgames-diyrepair4691 spoken like someone who has never dealt with it
This movie was an overlooked gem. Everyone I tell to watch this movie end up loving it and say “I didn’t think it was gonna be this good!”
Same with Drive (2011). They were totally misjudged based on crappy trailers. They made Drive look like Fast and the Furious and made The Grey look like Taken with wolves. Both films are absolutely amazing and this one especially touches my soul.
IKR, when I watched the trailers I thought it was going to be just another generic B-movie featuring monster wolves.
Boy, was I wrong.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 I loved both
I don't know why I always watch this video when I'm miserable and drunk af.
SAME
Really?
We bleed the same bro.
Same
You guys aren't going to make it long
Terrific score as usual completely ignored by the oscars.
This score comforts me at my worst, I swear 🥺
Part of it is from Ink the movie which was also greT
This film was actually dedicated to his beloved wife who passed away.
I can't possibly tell you the amount of times I've watched this movie or specifically googled this scene over the years. Whenever I feel down, it's my go to. Sometimes you just need to cry it out and keep pushing forward, but boy this scene in particular makes me cry the most.
have you lost people in your life recently too? 2022 has been rough for me so i have this movie on repeat almost every day...
@@JEGOJAMS I have consistently lost close loved ones since 2020. It seems never ending. 2020 and 2022 being the hardest hit years.
@@Marcie1988 same here..2022 has been rough for me. A lot of my loved ones have passed away in the span of 12 months. It feels like I’m just drowning in all of it..
I pull it up about once a week
Such a realistic, moralistic scene. So much truth in this scene. Hollywood take note.
Love this film because it strips you of all the bs. It is not just about how to meet your end; how each man met his end revealed how he viewed and lived reality. Some held religion above everything else, some pride and ego, some family, some the external beauty and stimulation. All of those things matter, especially family, but when almost everything is stripped away, true life is revealed harsh and beautiful. You are existence, you are everything from the rock to the building. You are the culmination of hundreds of years of evolution of life. All that was and is manifests itself in you. Your own life and purpose matters, but in a survival situation all notions on reality that you may have are insignificant. The separation from the mortality and other life is dissolved. Live like you're in and extended version of this movie because you are. Tape that knife to your hand and live life to the fullest.
You just blew my f'ing mind. This comment can take anyone away from the ledge.
Yes, live life to the fullest, every moment, every day
Figures this amazing comment only has 18 likes (one of which are mine I just made). Very insightful and thanks for sharing it. I see life the same as you described and I don't believe we are meant to have all the answers yet here in this life and maybe never do but to me it comes down to positive and negative. I try to focus on positive and truly believe this life is a gift.
Best movie of 2012.
Angelus *Best movie of all time*
@@andrewrogers2575 agree
Score is amazing
There's a nice bookend to this movie, though. At the start, he calls the guys around him "men unfit for mankind." But at the end, he makes a small cairn to them out of their wallets. He understood that despite their faults, they had love in them and were loved, just like him.
Beautiful as is life, when stripped back and bare.
I don't care what anyone says. This is a great film. Used to watch it with my dad all the time
Putting the hand on the dying wolf. A sign of respect, understanding facing death and giving the creature some small comfort before it dies.
There is not a second goes by when i am not thinking of you in some way
that deep breathing of the wolf while dying is similar to that of the ending scene after the credits.
i Always had a passion for good film in all the 22 years i roam this planet, but no film could have ever put tears in my eyes until i saw The Grey .
These scene where the guy sees his daughter and her "hair" is tickling his face made me break down
@@landonwoods2408 right that was hard to watch you knew it was the wolfs going at his face but in his last moments his vision was of his daughter doing it before he passes
Truth
@@landonwoods2408
Not his daughter ...its his wife who is dead actually...
I miss working in the oil & gas industry. Something about being in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of nutcases is actually kind of beautiful.
What kind of stuff did you see ?
NatFillion S I worked in the outback in Australia, and we had contractors from all over the world working there, so it was a lot of fun meeting different characters and also being amongst the wildlife there.
My dad was a geophysicist working for SSL .. went all over the world looking for the black stuff ... OIL
I'm ex-Merchant Navy and I know exactly what you mean. Never met anyone on dry land who I related to like my shipmates.
This film is so powerful and moving. It even moved me the way he went up to the wolf he shot, and checked it's heartbeat which turns into a soft petting embrace. The wolves literally save him from killing himself and give him back his desire to live and have Faith.
The grief never goes away.....the feeling of loss is unexplainable.
I like how the wolf’s howl saves him. Reminds him of his purpose
The love of my life left me.Car accident 1986.I struggle on alone. Its not all bad,but I can never forget what we had.
You are stronger than you will ever know. Take care man and I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤️
I adore this film. So powerful. So relatable.
4:23 onward kills me every time, man. I have a feeling Liam didn't need too many takes for this scene. I know that face all too well
This film moves me beyond words. Liam Neeson wasn't even acting during this scene.
I'm 46.. Combat veteran grandfather..this has crossed my mind and is doing more so these days..🌹🙏
Hey rusty, I hope you are still going on. Everything is redeemable . Trust your faith
🙏🏻❤️
It’s alright, sooner or later when people are at their lowest, they will hear a wolf calling in the distance.
I move like I imagine the damned do, cursed.
Amazing movie, underrated by a generation that does not reflect or stops to think deeply about life's harshness. By the way anyone knows the name of the Rock Song playing in the background @ 0:41? thanks

First time I watched this movie I thought it was just okay. But it started to grow inside of me. There's poetry here, in many ways.
Wolf: Awooooooooooooo!
Translation: *Hey Liam Neeson, I've heard you have a particular set of skills. Come and try them, noob!*
LOL
Fate "Good luck"
Human species has stopped doing this world any real good
Danny secret There are still some of us that are willing to do what's right, when given the chance.
And as long as their is one who thinks that way then its worth fighting for.
An extraordinary film, one of the decade's best.
Whenever I deal with heartbreak i come here. I saw this movie after my 10th grade in 2012-13 . Around the same time i fell in love too and after watching the movie i used to wonder what heartbreak would feel like . After 10 years and 3 unsuccessful relationship i think my heart soul mind have had enough. I wish I could just go over to some small mountain town .
Do it. Live life how you want. Sometimes you have to give up small creature comforts for a while to get there but its worth it. Find a small town in the mountains. Look for work anywhere you can there.. There are always jobs. Maybe you could even find a farm or a ranch somewhere that would give you a place to sleep, warm meal and a little bit of pay in exchange for your hard work. The world is a huge place my friend. Dont spend your life wishing you did this and that only to regret not doing any of the things you dreamed of when you're on your death bed and its too late. Don't get trapped in the rat race like the majority of people. You could die any second. I know you're probably going to read this and get a small spark of courage but then you'll let it die and then forget you ever read this. Don't do that. Gather kindle for the spark and let it burn.
@@forrestallen9354 country where I am from, society that i grew up in ,there's too much of obligations that always shimmer down the spark.urge to live in one's accord. I will remember what you said my friend, hopefully I would be to keep this thread alive too.
Same here. Dealing with heartache now and this scene is connecting with me. I hope you are doing better.
From Wiki: „According to Empire magazine, in the climactic scene in which Neeson's character pens a letter to his wife, Carnahan urged Neeson to "channel his grief" over the death of his wife Natasha Richardson.“ Understandable why this performance is one of Liam Neeson’s better ones.
a man feels most melancholy at the end of the day...
It's not suicide.
The wolves in this symbolise the demonic forces of evil. Ever at work, relentless, unforgiving. One by one they devour each of the surviving members of the plane crash. Until Neeson faces the apex predator itself. The Alpha of the forces of evil. The wolf descends from the high ground, while the beaten up, worn out, exhausted, barehanded Neeson straps on some blades, broken glass vials and anything that he can find that will arm him against his nemesis. Then they fight.
Thankfully, actual wolves are nothing like portrayed in this movie. They're loyal pack hunters.
I don't think the wolves in this are evil. I think they're death. Death isn't evil, just like life isn't good. Death just is. Whether or not he succeeds, Liam Neeson's character makes it to a place where he fights death rather than giving up to it.
@@dars5229
Tl;Dr version: that's another way of looking at it. Thank you.
------------------------------------
That's another lens to view the entities hunting Liam and his crew as. Essentially they do terminate the crew one by one down till the last one. They're relentless, cold, brutal. Attributes that characterize death. However just viewing it using the logical lens which focuses on tangible facts divorced from the subjective human experience rooted in the humanities doesn't account for the full picture.
Essentially the field of ethics versus science. Science deals with the understood observable properties of our existence which inherently do not have good or evil properties. Death is one such property which at its surface is neither good nor evil. However scientific discoveries, which are then applied, have far reaching ethical implications and consequences of their own. This is where the fields intersect.
The field of Law and Jurisprudence is also derived from and is a subset of the field of Ethics. In a similar vein, the number of homicides (in other words deaths) in a community can be measured as a statistic. However, the circumstances of each death are different, there are different severities/gradations of each crime (read evil). So, yes, the victims did all die. However they all suffered differently and their loved ones must be compensated by due retributions sanctioned by the laws of that community. And the (evil) criminal must face justice for the safety and sake of the entire community. There are ethical consequences for letting a criminal roam free which affect the entire community. This is the human element. The statistics do play a role and should influence decisions on the macro level. However, one cannot be indifferent to the ethics at play at the micro level that need to be addressed as well.
In conclusion, reality can be viewed through multiple lenses. Each painting a different picture at various levels of abstraction. Which are all significant in understanding the human condition.
I don’t know why I have done half the things I have done....ain’t that the truth
Whenever I’m at my lowest, I think of this scene
The meaning and reality between this is unrealistic! He has a drive further then most for sure! He's driven on love and everlasting peace! He's lost and only has to give! One of my favorite movie's! At the end with the alpha was on point! I'd hope we could all wish to go out so victorious! Even if we lose
4:23 Smh The look on his face is completely broken and grieving. That’s the look of “why”
enjoyed this movie. I loved the wolf's in it. leim is a great actor
I think of you every second ! feel you against me every second , but i m cursed to live without you !
Frightening to have been so close to the end had it not been for the howl of the Wolf to remind you your purpose for being there at that time.
So close.
1:28 that whole monolog is exactly how I felt after my first love left me. Maybe that's why I identify with John Ottway so much, idk, but man this movie never fails to make me cry and not give up on life or love
Me every day. I see no hope.
not alone....
I wonder if drinks are included in your contract when you’re on the slope.
I move like I imagine the damned do.
This movie moved me in ways that maybe 1, 2 others have in 40 years of watching movies. God granted his desire to die, but instead of suicide which would've taken him to hell, he was granted the death of a fighter. He wasn't too fond of the others yet honored them in the end. He became a leader whereas he started as someone who wanted to die alone. The transformation doesn't beat you over the head with its obviousness however it does show us what courage in the face of insurmountable odds looks like when a man is truly left to ask himself "Do I want to keep on living?'.
LOL Frank Grillo whooping ass in the background, what a shocker!
great movie, great actor
I relate to this film I lost my daddy 2 months ago I held his hands whilst he lay dying kissed his forehead and there is not a day I don’t think of him want him back............so unfair he was taken from us, bad luck, I hurt every day my mom said she wanted to be with him I had to try to convince her to go on 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
God bless Samantha. Your dad was lucky to have you.
Powerful. Keep fighting. Never give up.
My father passed away 1 week ago, as you did, i hold his hand till his last breath, since then, i miss him so much... Thanks you Daddy.
Going great until a big dirty ad ruined it!!
This movie gives out a very strong doomer vibes it's relatable in many ways..
I always liked to think he died but with the will to live. Which is much happier of an ending than the one he was going to give himself in the start of the movie
Liam Neeson put his faith & courage to sleep over the loss of his wife & his drunken father. Even though, he was keen to sacrifice his life because of the pain, he felt the need to live for something.
Same goes for all of us.
it hurts so much, theres not a second goes bye I don't feel any good any more
0:21 lol. The way he describes oil field workers is not fair.
powerful movie and powerful scene.. I hope you could have started the video with @1:12 ..
No. Adding the context in the beginning makes the scene more powerful.
but the real music and depth begins at 1:12
the context is crucial, we need understand what sort of people he's surrounded by, what sort of people he groups himself with.
I think the lead up to 1:12 (or just before that) is necessary to appreciate that powerful moment when the raucous noise and scene fade away as he mournfully reflects on his lost wife. Compelling.
amazing movie
It almost gives a person hope when you see no hope and face the hardest things in life. A good movie to help others to not give up even if it looks like it's impossible to go on

Well said Liam. You've described half of America. Wonder why we're crazy?

It’s not another movie exactly like all of his others is it?
I loved this movie but I wasn't really "inspired" by it. It's hard to say. I just don't see the point in making a romance out of suffering. Even though it's kind of what I do every day. I tell myself I don't kill myself because I'm too chicken shit. Which is partly true but something inside me just wants to see what happens next I guess. Maybe eventually I'll get somewhere that doesn't feel like an absolute fucking waste. But my self hatred is malignant and has been matastasizing for decades despite my best efforts. I just don't see the point anymore in anything. But I just keep trying anyway. It's inane, stupid, almost criminal for me to be wasting space that other, "better" humans could be taking up on this planet. Whatever. I don't even know why I'm saying any of this.
What's your measure of "better"?
I dont know about your past but, Love yourself my brother.. atleast start small and build up

As someone who has fought depression and continues to fight it, the thoughts of suicide is just poisonous. When thoughts of it comes up it does feel like everything drowns out at times and nothing matters except just "going away"...

Yea I agree, the wolves represent the fight for survival. “The wolves are at the door” kind of thing. Wolves have always represented that sort of thing.
@@aamesworld You're right, I agree most would agree it's symbolic. Listen to this guy's analysis of the film. The wolves represent emotional suffering. I think this guy has nailed the interpretation.
