- Scene from Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs, where David Sumner (Dustin Hoffman) starts to play music while his house is being attacked. Gave me chills right now my spine, first time and every time.
I love how calm and collective David really is during the attack, and how nonchalant he sounds when he says "don't come in here" and "the gun's empty."
I totally agree
Such a great film! I cannot praise this film enough. The remake doesn't even come close.
The music is a good idea. Forget the psychological aspect, if they cant hear each other they cant worontogether effectively. Hoffmans alone and has no one on his side, so noise is useful to him.
Omg thank you for explaining it to me 💛
@omg9261 there's little that else will stir a fighting spirit better than the pipes blaring. Perhaps a Zulu chant or a Russian "Urha" or a Japanese "Banzai." But in circumstances like this, noise means confusion. And confusion is the friend of the outnumbered man.
The rat catcher still got his nose on, that disturbs me what a scene marvellous.
"Every Dog Has His Day!" David Sumner unleashing his inner Straw Dog.
This film is art. Carthatic violence...
Amen
It is. It’s almost like a Greek Tragedy in its cathartic effect. Or should that be ‘Geek Tragedy’.
No, this movie is a perfect metaphor about the eternal fight between reational and irrational. His wife and the workers that rape her and try to invade his home, represents irrational people of hour time. Hoffman 's carachter represents the smart's man suffering, trying to live in peace after all.
The music fits the scene so well honestly.
Great movie. Hoffman is impressive
Impressive? He's a total badass in this film.
Apparently, the music was turned on so that Hoffman's footsteps could not be heard.
Theo P He doesn't need to. As the owner of the house he should know all the ways in so all he needs to do is be vigilant.
@@ShadowRaskolnik amen
Even with though the music is playing as a strategy ploy, I still think it gives a sense of bravery and courage. Like William Wallace and the Battle of Stirling. Plus, what better music to fight off intruders to, than the pipes???
This movie is like savage home alone
“Gun is empty” what a work..
For me it's not the bagpipes that make this part of the film, it's the distant fog signal.
this fucking scene. I'm telling ya
The tune that the audio is playing is a 6/8 March called farewell to the creeks
Thank You!
your welcome@@scottquigley9707
Never listened to bagpipes the same again after this movie
Bagpipes are played by Scott's just before they go into battle
defend you home like that today in the UK and you're off to prison for a very long time
That is just plain bollocks. I bet you voted Brexit !
Perfect..!!
Sometimes people sing to set their mind to what needs to be done and nothing else exists. It used to be commonly used in the military bagpipe players for instance. Some people look at the floor and start humming and then get up and do what they need to do. Some people refer to it as dying inside. Nothing matters nothing exist only that moment is all.
hmm..deep
I can't help it but everytime he puts on the music, I giggle so frickin much! I know this scene is supposed to be full-on brutal and tense but it always gets me laughing, we can't get a good action thriller with scenes like that anymore :(
UPDATE: What if David Sumner stuck on Lady Gaga's "911"? Would THAT be funny?!
If assholes try to break into my house one night and I put on a song on full blast to cover my footsteps while sneak attacking the burglars, I'd put on Lady Gaga's "911" myself! Hahahahahaha
This remind me of deliverance 1972 crazy locals beware of the owner (:
I believe Peckinpah was slated to direct that famous back-woods odyssey before Boorman took the reins. Both films, for me, are masterpieces.
Classic movie. Hoffman and Susan George were fantastic along with supporting cast. S. Pekinpa directed The Wild Bunch.
That's what he gets for breaking into the guys house
While working nights at the local abatoir I almost fell into the mincing machine.
Farewell to the creeks
Philosophical question I don't claim to know the answer to: Has David changed or has he revealed his true nature?
He revealed a necessary side of himself, which will have traumatic and long lasting affects on him. Not once did I feel his violence was overkill. He was restrained if anything. If he seemed a monster to some, it's because violence is ugly whether its necessary or unnecessary. He defended his wife and he defended a man from lynch mob justice.
This experience may well show a man like David that his temperament is more good than bad. He's not a coward like his wife claims. He's a reasonable and careful man, slow to anger and that is a good thing. That he doesn't need to prove his masculinity to naysayers. I got the impression that he regretted his hunting kill too (his silly attempt to prove his masculinity).
His biggest mistake was certainly not firing the men after the discovery of the cat.
This movie was great I loved the ending
Bishop Brennan in full on weird mode.
Pipes & Drums..!
WWZ novel has the humans playing music as they take the planet back from the hordes of zombies.
Some played bagpipes.
Straw Dogs, for me, is Peckinpah’s 3rd best film after 2nd, Ride the High Country and 1st, The Wild Bunch. Technically, there are some unforgivable bloopers, not least a scene where the viewer can clearly see the reflection of the camera in a car window, but this notwithstanding, this film is a masterpiece. A revolting masterpiece, to be sure, but for me, the blood-soaked, skin-strafed pile driver ending was in no way gratuitous. Hoffman’s feckless, feeble (until this climax), David, had had his buttons pushed to the limit, such that the seemingly sudden, sanguinary slaughter committed by this rather repressed, timid, mathematically rational milquetoast was wholly in keeping with the foregoing events of the film. For me, amongst other things, this film may be subtitled, ‘The Revenge of the Bullied’. Peckinpah masterfully orchestrates things such that we are wholly rooting for Hoffman in the notorious denouement. I like to consider myself a law-abiding, generally mild-mannered individual, but in this revolting (in a good way) movie I can live out my vicarious revenge-fantasies in a cathartic (a Geek Tragedy?), safe way.
I once rented a U-Haul from Sam Peckinpah's nephew (circa 2000)
Bishop Brennan from Father Ted gets bludgened!
