Saw the movie when it first came out. The only time I've seen a movie crowd stand up and applaud when the words "Directed by Barbra Streisand" appeared on the screen.
The greatest of all time…..her performances are from her heart and soul first and foremost…..you can tell that she is also a great actress…..there is Barbra, then everyone else. Thanks.
I have listened to this song countless times. And I am in tears now listening to the sheer brilliance of her voice. Just think about the monumental achievement of Barbra’s Yentl. She directed, wrote, produced starred in, sang all the songs during a time where no women directed movies in Hollywood, and it was her directorial debut and it was the first Hollywood movie made behind the communist iron curtain. It won the golden globe for best musical/comedy picture and she became the first woman to win the golden globe for best director. And to show how much a hurdle it was to make the movie during that era, this masterpiece was snubbed at the Oscar’s in categories she was eligible for. And no, your daughter is not too young for the movie.
So happy you finally listened to this!!! Barbra is the GOAT!!!!! Yentl is truly some of her best work! Please listen to the entire soundtrack and/or watch the movie. You will be blown away! I agree with listening to the soundtrack version before going to the Yentl medley from the concerts. You’ll be blown away again when you hear the medley. I highly suggest watching the medley from The Concert from 1994. Have a great day!!!!
For me the best performance from Barbra she is for me the best ! So emotional the orchestration of Michel Legrand is incredible the final scene of Yentl with this song is unforgettable each time I see or hear I feel WOUAH !
I'll make this simple - For me - this is Barbara at her absolute peak, which makes this song the peak of recorded female singing of all time as far as I'm concerned. Very few might rival, but none has ever surpassed this as far as I'm concerned.
When she returned to the concert stage in 1994 for the first time in many years, she performed this song live as a duet with this scene from the film. You’ll find it online as “Yentl Medley.” It is beyond phenomenal.
Me and my Best friend who was also in High School aspiring to be in the Enterrainment Industry, went and saw the premiere of Yentl at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood when it came out! It was Phenominal, to saly the least.. Great movie for you to enjoy with lots of great movie and music in it.
I have been a fan of Barbra Streisand for many years and own several of her albums. There is no other like her, she is absolutely captivatinĝ, not only with her voice but also with her acting. She is definitely one if a kind. Yentl is one of my favorite movies; i saw it in the theater when it was first released and immediately purchased the soundtrack, and almost wore it out playing it. May i say, ANYTHING you listen to by Barbra will amaze you. There has never been, nor will ever, be anyone better!
Ive seen Barbra Streisand twice once here in Ireland and once in London and she is the epitome of grace, elegance and pure undisputed talant ,the woman is one of the greatest entertainers in history ,shes 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Questa è la vera capacità di Barbra,riuscire ad esprimere perfettamente la sua anima.Non puoi dire di aver vissuto se non hai visto e rivisto questa Opera.❤️
The Sound Quality is best from the Film. I wore out several copies of this on vinyl back in 1983-84, it was one of the first CD's available, when CD's were brand new in 1983...There is a vid of this song from The Film on UA-cam. But your best bet is watching the entire film. It is not a musical comedy, It is a drama with music. I'll never forget watching Entertainment Tonight, on broadcast TV back in 1983 they did a 10 minute segment at the premiere of Yentl at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. They interviewed Spielberg, and Gregory Peck. The Theatre was the Coronet Theatre in San Francisco that I saw this movie when it premiered is no longer standing, was bulldozed. This film is one of Barbra's Best accomplishments, IMO.
She is a remarkable singer...what a wonderful song, soundtrack and movie. She and Karen Carpenter had the best lungs in the business, able to sustain and hold a note!!!
Hi Saeed! - Fantastic reaction as always! - That last note too, stunning!! - You love Lara too, I know, so now you definitely owe it to yourself to see Lara's fantastic tribute to this track, in her Yentl Medley performance... spine-tingling stuff!...
Her masterpiece, vocally speaking. So glad you finally reacted to it ! No matter how many times I have listened to it, this finale note still continues to amaze me. ❤
One of my favorite Barbra Streisand movies! Yentl › Film synopsis Rebbe Mendel is a single father who teaches the Talmud, a sacred text of Judaism, to the boys of his small Polish town. Behind closed doors, he also instructs his daughter, Yentl, despite the fact that girls are forbidden to study religious scripture. When Yentl's father dies, she still has a strong desire to learn about her faith -- so she disguises herself as a male, enrolls in a religious school, and unexpectedly finds love along the way.
Yentl melody live consists of: Papa can You hear me, will someone ever look at me that way, a piece of sky (a very special rendition). You don’t need to listen to them separate first.
One of the most extraordinary female voices of all time. I enjoyed your reaction and your enthusiasm. If you get the chance, don’t miss the film-it's a spectacular experience and definitely worth watching! My opinion : for this film, it might be better to wait a few years until your daughter is a bit older....
Hello Saeed, thanks for the reaction. Barbra has a stunning voice. Love it. You can also react to Lara Yentl medley cover LIVE in concert in Montreal. Stunning in its own way too. Enjoy. Ciao.
A must watch is Barbra Streisand’s A HAPPENING IN CENTRAL PARK from 1967. You’re the type of listener that would really appreciate it. She does a whole act live before a gigantic outdoor audience and she looks gorgeous. The special runs the gamut of her vocal repertoire and it also showcases her comedic talent right before she became a megastar. To me, she is the absolute GOAT at singing the popular standards from the stage and movies. It’s Barbra at her best. I know she’s been successful with pop rock hits, but I’ve never thought that genre shows off her vast talent.
Such a pure pure voice. "The more I live the more I learn" Live is worth living in so many facets. So amazing just to explore and find gems in the music world, in reading, in people. Love love it that your daughter is curious ( like her father). Greetings from South Africa
@@daleenengelbrecht4861nee vrek Daleen, hou jou kakkerige diskriminasie na jouself toe. Hy het al lekker baie gewys dat hy nie aaklige vooroordele soos joune hou nie.

Yentl is rated PG. A kid's questions would most likely be about gender roles. It has a message about equality of the sexes, and that's different than saying men and women are the same. It celebrates the differences, but doesn't settle for those differences being accepted without question. The 'divine adrodgeny of the soul' as Barbra said (when she was quoting someone else...).
Please react to Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond's duet "You Don't Bring Me Flowers". Two iconic voices. Beautiful! I haven't seen any Neil Diamond reactions on your channel. "I Am, I Said", "Play Me" are two great ones to start with. Neil Diamond's "America" is a MUST watch/listen. My favorite early Neil Diamond hit is "Cherry Cherry". Classic!
Just hearing the first few bars, the first phrase, brought tears to my eyes. It’s such a gorgeous song with an equally beautiful sentiment. As others have said, I think you’d enjoy the movie, but not knowing any eight year olds, I can’t judge whether it’s suitable for your child & you should watch it yourself first. However, I think it’s pretty clean measured against a lot of today’s movies. 🤷♀️ However, I did want to mention that at the very beginning of the song when she interjects “Papa can you see me”, that is the name of one of the first songs in the movie and it’s also a stunner. 👍👍
Yeah saw the movie few times and listened to the songs on the album as well and her live performances.. Barbra out shines them all with her voice and ability to perform a song(s) great reaction. Thanks try to see some live performances.. Also Broadway songs of hers..
Yes.....in the live as well....insanely great. God this totally amazing. This movie is incredible... you should watch this soon. A bit adult. View it first. Awesome, seeing you appreciate all these amazing songs from my youth.
There are some lives of the Medley live, including Papa Can You Hear Me, and then this, intertwined with her telling the story of the movie Then there's the Lara Fabian cover in 1997 which is ridiculous, it's like she was possessed by Barbra herself
Hi Saeed, thank you for reacting to this song. I knew you'd like it. The look on your face while she was holding that last note was priceless 😀. Yentl is a very great movie, but I think it might be too adult for a child under 12 to comprehend. As the story goes on towards the end it shows more adult themes of life. So, in my humble opinion it's better understood at a later age. But Barbra sings wonderfully in it so there's still that to enjoy. This song is actually already a medley of the songs she sings in the movie. The Yentl medley Live 1994 basically is an extended version where she sings longer versions of the songs and then ends it with a duet with herself. The Yentl medley 2000 Live is a duet with a young actress/singer who represent young Barbra. This was performed at her Timeless concert on 31 dec 1999.
There is a film clip of her singing this from the movie. She incorporates parts of "Papa Can You Hear Me" into this song. You should listen to that and you'll understand how she combines the lyrics into this song.. The movie isn't too adult, it's PG, but it may be hard for your daughter to understand the story, because since she is not allowed to study the Talmud as a woman, she disguises herself as a male student, and a woman falls in love with her thinking she is male. (which is really impossible to believe for real, but it doesn't matter, it's a wonderful story, and this situation was true for Orthodox Jewish women at the time.
You have to watch the clip from the movie of this song, even though it`s not a live performance it looks like one and it`s the close of the movie and it`s amazing ( every time, by the way )
I came across a video of her recording “Make our garden grow” and it’s somewhat of a rough video, but she holds this note at the end that you would never think is possible and at the end it seems like she cuts the note off herself like she could’ve kept going. Saeed, you have to check it out. Insane vocals this woman has.
Goosebumps EVERY time I listen to this!! I love your astonishment and how wide your eyes went at the end! The medley may refer to her concert where she duets with herself, or it may be from the Timeless concert where she duets with herself and her "younger self". I don't know if your daughter is too young to watch it. I guess I would watch it first and make a judgment call. Thanks for continuing to explore Barbra. I have a few rare suggestions of Barbra coming soon!
Magnífica 📽 película escrita dirigida interprete y autora de la banda sonora increíble sencillamente una obra maestra de la gran Barbra streisand pocas mujeres han logrado cotas tan altas en el mundo del espectáculo cine 📽 música 🎶 y como cantante polifacética donde las haya toda la banda sonora de la película Yentel igual que la película muy recomendable excelente reacción Saeed 💥💯💥💯💥💯🗯💯💥💯💥💯💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
This is the last song in the movie. You can see as it was sung in the movie. Is exact same song. Just in context of the movie. Thanks for the reaction.
This is an amazing movie about culture, religion, acceptance and courage to be yourself. Barbra was panned a bit by critics but I adore every moment of this movie and the score (all sung by Barbra) is exquisite and moving. "A Piece of Sky" is truly an amazing vehicle to showcase her vocal prowess and great musicality. I remember the final scene of the movie and her performance on the ship headed for " the new world" moves me to tears even to this day. It may get lost on a child of 8. As it probably is a bit mature for a kid. I imagine children would find this movie boring.
Yeah…she was about 20 years too old for the part. It took her a LONG time to get it financed and produced. You have to suspend your disbelief that she could be mistaken for a boy.
@helenespaulding7562 Well, I think if she had been younger she would have looked even softer and more feminine. However, I do agree that she really wasn't fooling anyone as a boy. That said, I was willing to pretend because of the beautiful story and journey of her character.
Definitely see this movie. Not sure if it’s appropriate for an eight year old. Certainly in my day, some 50+ years ago, not appropriate for an eight year old. But kids are way more sophisticated these days. This was the last song/meshed with another from the movie. So possibly that is what they mean. I saw Barbra in concert and she sang this song with the movie scene behind her. This song closed out the first half of her concert. Needless to say, it ended in a standing ovation…..and a few tears.
I think u probably saw it around this age and because I've watched it so many times over the years, I absolutely know there were things I didn't pick up on until muuuuuuuuch later 😂 Definitely not nearly as adult as The Sound Of Music and I'm fairly sure I started on that movie when I was in kindergarten 😅
An interviewer once asked Barbra..."How do you hold notes for so long?" Her reply, "Because I want to." She manifests things purely by will... that's probably her single greatest quality and key to her success and longevity. As everyone has said, it's a must see movie. It takes place at the turn of the 20th Century, in 1904 in Eastern Europe. Yentl very much wants to learn the teachings of the Talmud, and after her father dies, she goes out into the world to learn at a Yeshiva...only masquerading as a boy, Anshel... and studies with another boy (Mandy Patinkin) who she winds up falling in love with. As far as your daughter is concerned... you know her better than anyone. My suggestion would be to watch the movie yourself first, and if you feel she's ready for some of the content (btw, there is no nudity except for a rear shot of Patinkin walking into a lake to go skinny-dipping), then you decide. Eight-year olds today are like 14-year olds, compared to back in my day. The movie has such great messages, enjoy!
Have you read/listened to her memoir? She has immense discipline and an indomitable will, but even with all that, there were several projects that she LONGED to do that she simply could not bring together. I almost feel cheated She could have done even more if the wind had been at her back.
@helenespaulding7562 I sure did, all glorious 48+ hours. Before I started it, I thought, "Oy, this is sooo long," but nearing the final chapter, I was sad it was ending soon and wanted more." I too feel a bit "cheated" that we didn't get to experience more of her great work in other projects. I know losing "The Normal Heart" must have taken a chunk out of her. There were some projects that eluded her, but there were others that she just didn't pursue and, maybe in hindsight, wished she had. But she knows herself, and even describes herself as being "... simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy, and driven."
@@donnamentrasti2695 I grew so used to her voice that I now use it as a calming sound to fall asleep to. Doesn’t matter where in the book. I just set 30 minutes. I’m always asleep before it runs out. 😁
@helenespaulding7562 Oh yes, her speaking voice is amazing too... so engaging and alluring; she draws you in and it's so easy to listen to her every word. I'll have to try that for sleeping. 👍
Every song on the Yentl soundtrack is gorgeous, although A Piece of Sky is the standout track. If you have to react to another song(s) here, check out Where Is It Written, This Is One Of The Moments, and The Way He Makes Me Feel. You won't regret it.
Wow! How about that, Saeed! Ha! You're finally in the "A Piece of Sky" fan club! I wish I could post pics here on UA-cam. That look on your face immediately after the song ends is like the look on kids' faces on Christmas morning, when they first come in the room and see the Christmas tree with all their presents under it! Lol! That song ends the movie. And what an ending it is! If you don't mind being spoiled a bit, you can find the ending of the film with this song here on UA-cam. With the visuals Streisand created, it makes it 100 times better than just the audio, if you can imagine! Here's the list of songs used in The Yentl Medley from the actual CD, Barbra: The Concert 1994 (at Madison Square Garden, NYC - the one I saw) and Video/DVD (at Arrowhead Pond, Anaheim, CA): 1) Where Is It Written (a portion of) 2) Papa, Can You Hear Me (complete) 3) Will Someone Ever Look At Me That Way? (a portion of) 4) A Piece Of Sky (last portion and a very special rendition) Best quality of it on UA-cam - ua-cam.com/video/1scD4H03Y08/v-deo.html (You can bump it up to 4K!) Thanks again, Saeed! Always a pleasure watching and hearing your take on Streisand's songs. Being a writer, you really get into the words. How you interpret is a gift.
Incredible song and how she sings it just next level. Magnificent! Definitely want to watch the film. Thanks for taking the time to share this! Have a wonderful day.
I would watch it first before you show it to your daughter. You'll be able to better assess her ability to understand what's happening and whether or not it will be beneficial to her at her age. Definitely by the time she's 11 or 12 should be able to grasp the plot better.
Good advise. I would also say that she doesn't necessarily need to "get it" at her age. And any of the themes that are more adult are going to fly over her head anyway. I was easily only 5 or 6 when I started watching The Sound Of Music and my parents definitely started taking me to Shakespeare productions between 8-10 and I definitely didn't really understand what was going on until much later. But the exposure to the music and the words was so beneficial as a young child. Especially in terms of inspiring the imagination.
thank you for posting it its last song in movie your daughter can see this movie you would love this movie i saw it when it came out in 1983 find papa can you hear me from the movie
I didn’t know this song, although I remember seeing the movie when it came out in 1983. I think you should wait to watch it with your daughter, because I believe it’s rated R for some sexual content. This is a beautiful song, sung so magnificently by Barbara Streisand! There’s a completely different kind of movie (about a serial killer) that I went to see when it came out in 1978, called Eyes of Laura Mars, in which Barbara Streisand sings the theme song Prisoner. Beautiful and haunting! Thank you again, Saeed, for another wonderful reaction. I always enjoy them.🥰💗
I was told in the request the video quality on YT isnt great so the link to the audio was included. Now i can watch the film and still have some surprises😀
You have to see the movie, it is excellent. The song is kind of out of order, need to experience the total movie. The last song of the movie is the best
A fair quality UA-cam video clip of the scene from the movie Yentl where Barbra sings A Piece of Sky is here ua-cam.com/video/kT7R-QCrhtg/v-deo.html A very good quality UA-cam video clip of Barbra singing A Piece of Sky over a montage of scenes from Yentl is here ua-cam.com/video/iHMJX1J1MNI/v-deo.html ''Yentl'' is rated PG (''Parental Guidance Suggested''). It contains some suggested nudity and sexual references. According to IMDb Content Rating: Sex & Nudity: Mild Violence & Gore: None Profanity: None Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking: None Frightening & Intense Scenes: None What Parents Need to Know from Common Sense Media: Parents need to know that because the basic plot involves a teen girl disguised as a young man, there are numerous scenes that place Yentl in embarrassing and uncomfortable situations, some of them with sexual overtones (i.e., Yentl being in the presence of several young men as they strip and jump naked into a pond). Though there is no actual sexual activity, the "marriage" ceremony performed between Yentl and another young woman is taken seriously by the "bride" and she attempts to make love to her husband, unaware that it is Yentl, a girl. These scenes are presented in a gentle way and do not emphasize sexuality. There is occasional wine drinking both in social situations and for religious ceremonial purposes.
Una recomendación Saeed a ver si es posible que hagas una reacción a A Song for you de Whitney Houston me gustaría saber como es tu reacción ok gracias te vas a llevar una grata sorpresa 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I would stick to Disney films for your daughter for now. "Yentl" is a beautiful movie in every way but I think it's much too complex for an eight year old little girl. If you know the story you'll understand what I mean.
She is UNIQUE
There are no words! 😮 Wow!
Impeccable! Pure genius! She is THE GREATEST ever!
Saw the movie when it first came out. The only time I've seen a movie crowd stand up and applaud when the words "Directed by Barbra Streisand" appeared on the screen.

ALWAYS DOING DUETS WITH MEN AND WOMAN.
BARRY GIBBS AND HER.
DONNA SUMNER AND CELINE DEON... SUCH BEUTIFUL SPIRIT IN HER
IN ALL SHE'S DONE.🕊
The best singers can put the best DYNAMICS on their songs...Barbra Streisand is definitely one of the best ever!
There is BARBRA, the divine... and there are the others.
Ive seen Barbra Streisand twice once here in Ireland and once in London and she is the epitome of grace, elegance and pure undisputed talant ,the woman is one of the greatest entertainers in history ,shes 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I'd add Judy Garland to make my top 3 female voices.
It's a beautiful movie! I still cry when I hear it and I WEEP watching the movie every time 🥰
Feelings… Feelings…Feelings…A Piece of Sky A Piece of Heart……… Marvelous Song Marvelous Singer …… Unique !!
World class vocalist!
Hi Saeed! - Fantastic reaction as always! - That last note too, stunning!! - You love Lara too, I know, so now you definitely owe it to yourself to see Lara's fantastic tribute to this track, in her Yentl Medley performance... spine-tingling stuff!...
This is another great movie from Barbra, you really should watch it when you get time!
The Greatest contemporary voice I have heard.
One of the longest notes ever held by a singer. She only outdoes this by 2 seconds in her unreleased cover of Candide's Make Our Garden Grow.
Her final notes in Before The Parade Passes By from Dolly and On A Clear Day You Can See Forever were also impressive in their length.
Forgot to add, that Last Note was 19 Seconds!
And it's not her longest!
Her masterpiece, vocally speaking. So glad you finally reacted to it ! No matter how many times I have listened to it, this finale note still continues to amaze me. ❤
Truly magnificent! Thanks so much for watching.
One of my favorite Barbra Streisand movies!

When Yentl's father dies, she still has a strong desire to learn about her faith -- so she disguises herself as a male, enrolls in a religious school, and unexpectedly finds love along the way.
The medley is where she sings this song with herself in concert. plus other songs from the film
Amazing
Yentl melody live consists of: Papa can You hear me, will someone ever look at me that way, a piece of sky (a very special rendition). You don’t need to listen to them separate first.
Are they the full songs? I thought medley implied that it might have been parts of certain songs weaved together.
You did it!!! The one I praised the highest to you. Dear God, this woman. The sum, of both her talent and her emotion, is unmatchable. ❤
Great song and the way she sings it is impecabble. Definitely made me want to see the film.
One of the most extraordinary female voices of all time.
I enjoyed your reaction and your enthusiasm.

My opinion : for this film, it might be better to wait a few years until your daughter is a bit older....
She truly is one of the best of all time. Thanks for watching, Orly and for the advice on the film. Much love!
The Best female singer everrrrrrrr

As others have said, I think you’d enjoy the movie, but not knowing any eight year olds, I can’t judge whether it’s suitable for your child & you should watch it yourself first. However, I think it’s pretty clean measured against a lot of today’s movies. 🤷♀️
However, I did want to mention that at the very beginning of the song when she interjects “Papa can you see me”, that is the name of one of the first songs in the movie and it’s also a stunner. 👍👍
wonderful movie with wonderful songs.
Yeah saw the movie few times and listened to the songs on the album as well and her live performances.. Barbra out shines them all with her voice and ability to perform a song(s) great reaction. Thanks try to see some live performances.. Also Broadway songs of hers..
Yes.....in the live as well....insanely great. God this totally amazing. This movie is incredible... you should watch this soon. A bit adult. View it first. Awesome, seeing you appreciate all these amazing songs from my youth.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There are some lives of the Medley live, including Papa Can You Hear Me, and then this, intertwined with her telling the story of the movie
Then there's the Lara Fabian cover in 1997 which is ridiculous, it's like she was possessed by Barbra herself
you need to watch this movie immediately a classic
Hi Saeed, thank you for reacting to this song. I knew you'd like it. The look on your face while she was holding that last note was priceless 😀.
Yentl is a very great movie, but I think it might be too adult for a child under 12 to comprehend. As the story goes on towards the end it shows more adult themes of life. So, in my humble opinion it's better understood at a later age. But Barbra sings wonderfully in it so there's still that to enjoy. This song is actually already a medley of the songs she sings in the movie. The Yentl medley Live 1994 basically is an extended version where she sings longer versions of the songs and then ends it with a duet with herself. The Yentl medley 2000 Live is a duet with a young actress/singer who represent young Barbra. This was performed at her Timeless concert on 31 dec 1999.
There is a film clip of her singing this from the movie. She incorporates parts of "Papa Can You Hear Me" into this song. You should listen to that and you'll understand how she combines the lyrics into this song.. The movie isn't too adult, it's PG, but it may be hard for your daughter to understand the story, because since she is not allowed to study the Talmud as a woman, she disguises herself as a male student, and a woman falls in love with her thinking she is male. (which is really impossible to believe for real, but it doesn't matter, it's a wonderful story, and this situation was true for Orthodox Jewish women at the time.
You have to watch the clip from the movie of this song, even though it`s not a live performance it looks like one and it`s the close of the movie and it`s amazing ( every time, by the way )
I came across a video of her recording “Make our garden grow” and it’s somewhat of a rough video, but she holds this note at the end that you would never think is possible and at the end it seems like she cuts the note off herself like she could’ve kept going. Saeed, you have to check it out. Insane vocals this woman has.
Goosebumps EVERY time I listen to this!! I love your astonishment and how wide your eyes went at the end! The medley may refer to her concert where she duets with herself, or it may be from the Timeless concert where she duets with herself and her "younger self". I don't know if your daughter is too young to watch it. I guess I would watch it first and make a judgment call. Thanks for continuing to explore Barbra. I have a few rare suggestions of Barbra coming soon!
At last!
I never saw this movie. The song is new to me too
Magnífica 📽 película escrita dirigida interprete y autora de la banda sonora increíble sencillamente una obra maestra de la gran Barbra streisand pocas mujeres han logrado cotas tan altas en el mundo del espectáculo cine 📽 música 🎶 y como cantante polifacética donde las haya toda la banda sonora de la película Yentel igual que la película muy recomendable excelente reacción Saeed 💥💯💥💯💥💯🗯💯💥💯💥💯💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
This is the last song in the movie. You can see as it was sung in the movie. Is exact same song. Just in context of the movie. Thanks for the reaction.
Thanks for letting me know! Great song.
I love "Yentl"! There are amazing songs I highly recommend seeing the film. As a film buff and a Streisand fan, I exoect you'll love it!
This is an amazing movie about culture, religion, acceptance and courage to be yourself. Barbra was panned a bit by critics but I adore every moment of this movie and the score (all sung by Barbra) is exquisite and moving. "A Piece of Sky" is truly an amazing vehicle to showcase her vocal prowess and great musicality. I remember the final scene of the movie and her performance on the ship headed for " the new world" moves me to tears even to this day. It may get lost on a child of 8. As it probably is a bit mature for a kid. I imagine children would find this movie boring.
Yeah…she was about 20 years too old for the part. It took her a LONG time to get it financed and produced. You have to suspend your disbelief that she could be mistaken for a boy.
@helenespaulding7562 Well, I think if she had been younger she would have looked even softer and more feminine. However, I do agree that she really wasn't fooling anyone as a boy. That said, I was willing to pretend because of the beautiful story and journey of her character.
@@mcoudeniii absolutely
Definitely see this movie. Not sure if it’s appropriate for an eight year old. Certainly in my day, some 50+ years ago, not appropriate for an eight year old. But kids are way more sophisticated these days. This was the last song/meshed with another from the movie. So possibly that is what they mean. I saw Barbra in concert and she sang this song with the movie scene behind her. This song closed out the first half of her concert. Needless to say, it ended in a standing ovation…..and a few tears.
I think u probably saw it around this age and because I've watched it so many times over the years, I absolutely know there were things I didn't pick up on until muuuuuuuuch later 😂
Definitely not nearly as adult as The Sound Of Music and I'm fairly sure I started on that movie when I was in kindergarten 😅
An interviewer once asked Barbra..."How do you hold notes for so long?" Her reply, "Because I want to." She manifests things purely by will... that's probably her single greatest quality and key to her success and longevity.
As everyone has said, it's a must see movie. It takes place at the turn of the 20th Century, in 1904 in Eastern Europe. Yentl very much wants to learn the teachings of the Talmud, and after her father dies, she goes out into the world to learn at a Yeshiva...only masquerading as a boy, Anshel... and studies with another boy (Mandy Patinkin) who she winds up falling in love with. As far as your daughter is concerned... you know her better than anyone. My suggestion would be to watch the movie yourself first, and if you feel she's ready for some of the content (btw, there is no nudity except for a rear shot of Patinkin walking into a lake to go skinny-dipping), then you decide. Eight-year olds today are like 14-year olds, compared to back in my day. The movie has such great messages, enjoy!
Have you read/listened to her memoir? She has immense discipline and an indomitable will, but even with all that, there were several projects that she LONGED to do that she simply could not bring together. I almost feel cheated She could have done even more if the wind had been at her back.
@helenespaulding7562 I sure did, all glorious 48+ hours. Before I started it, I thought, "Oy, this is sooo long," but nearing the final chapter, I was sad it was ending soon and wanted more." I too feel a bit "cheated" that we didn't get to experience more of her great work in other projects. I know losing "The Normal Heart" must have taken a chunk out of her. There were some projects that eluded her, but there were others that she just didn't pursue and, maybe in hindsight, wished she had. But she knows herself, and even describes herself as being "... simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy, and driven."
@@donnamentrasti2695 I grew so used to her voice that I now use it as a calming sound to fall asleep to. Doesn’t matter where in the book. I just set 30 minutes. I’m always asleep before it runs out. 😁
@helenespaulding7562 Oh yes, her speaking voice is amazing too... so engaging and alluring; she draws you in and it's so easy to listen to her every word. I'll have to try that for sleeping. 👍
You must watch the film....the last song
.i really enjoyed
You really need to watch the Film, or the Concert Medley, to get the Full effect of the 🎵! A Standout Performance!😎👍
Definitely want to watch the film and check out the medley. Maybe i will do all the songs first.
Yes, take your time, it’s all good!👍
Great job! See the movie then decide if your daughter is old enough for the story, you know her better than we.
Will look up more of the story! Thanks!
Perfectly acceptable for children!
Every song on the Yentl soundtrack is gorgeous, although A Piece of Sky is the standout track. If you have to react to another song(s) here, check out Where Is It Written, This Is One Of The Moments, and The Way He Makes Me Feel. You won't regret it.
Wow! How about that, Saeed! Ha! You're finally in the "A Piece of Sky" fan club! I wish I could post pics here on UA-cam. That look on your face immediately after the song ends is like the look on kids' faces on Christmas morning, when they first come in the room and see the Christmas tree with all their presents under it! Lol!
That song ends the movie. And what an ending it is! If you don't mind being spoiled a bit, you can find the ending of the film with this song here on UA-cam. With the visuals Streisand created, it makes it 100 times better than just the audio, if you can imagine!
Here's the list of songs used in The Yentl Medley from the actual CD, Barbra: The Concert 1994 (at Madison Square Garden, NYC - the one I saw) and Video/DVD (at Arrowhead Pond,
Anaheim, CA):
1) Where Is It Written (a portion of)
2) Papa, Can You Hear Me (complete)
3) Will Someone Ever Look At Me That Way? (a portion of)
4) A Piece Of Sky (last portion and a very special rendition)
Best quality of it on UA-cam - ua-cam.com/video/1scD4H03Y08/v-deo.html (You can bump it up to 4K!)
Thanks again, Saeed! Always a pleasure watching and hearing your take on Streisand's songs. Being a writer, you really get into the words. How you interpret is a gift.
Incredible song and how she sings it just next level. Magnificent! Definitely want to watch the film. Thanks for taking the time to share this! Have a wonderful day.
Absolutely masterful!!!! You should check out "Somewhere" by Barbra Streisand!!!! The song is a Masterpiece.
Great song! I reacted to Somewhere. That video should be in the Barbra Streisand reactions playlist.
From her backyard......
Yes please watch the video it’s better for sure
Yentl disguised herself as a man to study the talmud. Barbra write,produced,directed this movie. Yentl is wonderful. Beautiful movie visually .
I would watch it first before you show it to your daughter. You'll be able to better assess her ability to understand what's happening and whether or not it will be beneficial to her at her age. Definitely by the time she's 11 or 12 should be able to grasp the plot better.
Good advise. I would also say that she doesn't necessarily need to "get it" at her age.
And any of the themes that are more adult are going to fly over her head anyway.
I was easily only 5 or 6 when I started watching The Sound Of Music and my parents definitely started taking me to Shakespeare productions between 8-10 and I definitely didn't really understand what was going on until much later.
But the exposure to the music and the words was so beneficial as a young child. Especially in terms of inspiring the imagination.
That was her actually holding the note for that length at the end, is it not lengthened by computer.
you have got to watch the video!! or the movie!!
Está el fragmento de la película donde puedes verlo y también en concierto
😭 ❤
thank you for posting it its last song in movie your daughter can see this movie you would love this movie i saw it when it came out in 1983 find papa can you hear me from the movie
Oh no! Why aren’t you watching the video, and just the vocals?
This was the link sent to me and in the request it said the quality of the video wasnt that great. Also it's better for copyright issues i think.
I didn’t know this song, although I remember seeing the movie when it came out in 1983. I think you should wait to watch it with your daughter, because I believe it’s rated R for some sexual content. This is a beautiful song, sung so magnificently by Barbara Streisand!
There’s a completely different kind of movie (about a serial killer) that I went to see when it came out in 1978, called Eyes of Laura Mars, in which Barbara Streisand sings the theme song Prisoner. Beautiful and haunting!
Thank you again, Saeed, for another wonderful reaction. I always enjoy them.🥰💗
great story . some adult stuff but not overt. check it out solo first.
the movie is Too adult for an 8 year old. But the song stands on its own.
Thanks for letting me know!
Faut que vous écoutiez ce film! ;-)....vous allez plus comprendre la teneur du texte. :-)
Should have watched the video from the movie!
I was told in the request the video quality on YT isnt great so the link to the audio was included. Now i can watch the film and still have some surprises😀
You have to see the movie, it is excellent. The song is kind of out of order, need to experience the total movie. The last song of the movie is the best
A fair quality UA-cam video clip of the scene from the movie Yentl where Barbra sings A Piece of Sky is here ua-cam.com/video/kT7R-QCrhtg/v-deo.html
A very good quality UA-cam video clip of Barbra singing A Piece of Sky over a montage of scenes from Yentl is here ua-cam.com/video/iHMJX1J1MNI/v-deo.html
''Yentl'' is rated PG (''Parental Guidance Suggested''). It contains some suggested nudity and sexual references.
According to IMDb Content Rating:
Sex & Nudity: Mild
Violence & Gore: None
Profanity: None
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking: None
Frightening & Intense Scenes: None
What Parents Need to Know from Common Sense Media:
Parents need to know that because the basic plot involves a teen girl disguised as a young man, there are numerous scenes that place Yentl in embarrassing and uncomfortable situations, some of them with sexual overtones (i.e., Yentl being in the presence of several young men as they strip and jump naked into a pond). Though there is no actual sexual activity, the "marriage" ceremony performed between Yentl and another young woman is taken seriously by the "bride" and she attempts to make love to her husband, unaware that it is Yentl, a girl. These scenes are presented in a gentle way and do not emphasize sexuality. There is occasional wine drinking both in social situations and for religious ceremonial purposes.
Una recomendación Saeed a ver si es posible que hagas una reacción a A Song for you de Whitney Houston me gustaría saber como es tu reacción ok gracias te vas a llevar una grata sorpresa 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thanks for the recommendation. Will add it to my list.
Such a great movie!😊 She pretends to be a young man to study.
R rating....love making scenes in the movie. Have you explain the birds and the bees to her?
I would stick to Disney films for your daughter for now. "Yentl" is a beautiful movie in every way but I think it's much too complex for an eight year old little girl. If you know the story you'll understand what I mean.
Thanks for the info!
You have to react to Lara Fabian Yentl cover. A masterpiece!
