    There are alot of moments in film where the viewer goes "my God, this is perfect." This scene is one of them.

    Ms. Hepburn gifted the remote and stoic Henry Fonda with Spencer Tracy's cap just before filming began and the great actor cried. Stars like Fonda and Tracy and Hepburn no longer exist in today's Hollywood.

    These two legends are superb in this wonderful movie! I loved when she was telling him to get back on the horse. They both remind me of my awesome parents. R.I.P Henry and Katherine.

      And that's why Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda both won Academy Awards for their roles in this film. 35 years later, the loving portrait of Norman and Ethel Thayer they etched together is still one of the most believable elderly couples to ever grace the silver screen.

      Thier chemistry in this movie made it. You can't fake these truly heartfelt scenes. The Great Kate has always been my favorite actress of that Era.
      I grew up and still live in New Hampshire not far from Winnesquam Lake where this was filmed.
      I remember the e xcitement in the little town and our little state..

    There's a line in this movie that goes something like this, "sometimes you have to look real hard at a person and realize they're doing the best they can, they're just finding their way, just like you are".... I try to remember that when I'm dealing with life's adversities, but sometimes I forget... Loved this movie in 1981, and now even more, as I get closer to Ethel and Norman's age.

      That is such a powerfully insightful perspective to adapt. I was speaking with a close friend of mine the other day, and we discussed something similar. To understand that others misunderstand, that others lose their cool, that others truly struggle and deliberate, only to make the complete wrong choice. Very few people have ever set out to do poorly or badly. Most people genuinely try their best. We are all finding our way. Understanding, patience, mercy, and love are the only way we can find it. I’m a man with a harsh and violent past. I do my best everyday to change the stars that the fates have laid out for me. I am not perfect, but I am embracing the struggle of finding my own way and granting myself love and forgiveness.
      I’ve never seen this movie, but I stumbled on this scene after reading a bit about Katherine Hepburn. This scene is masterfully written and it resonated with the softest pieces of my heart. It gives me hope for the future, despite the certainty of life’s tribulations and end.
      Thanks for sharing your thoughts, 10 years after the fact. I hope you’re still doing well and continuing to exercise empathy in this way.

      There are many people in love out there, only a very few amount can be as sharp-witted as these two.
      What you are seeing is two epigrammatic-gifted people happily married.

    I lived in Omaha when this movie came out. As Henry Fonda was born and raised there and learned his craft there, the movie was premiered at the Orpheum Theater downtown. They showed it there for a few weeks after the grand premiere and I was lucky enough to score tickets with a friend of mine. We were in the first row, as that was all that was left. This movie blew me away! Acting, cinematography, set design...everything was just perfect.
    I was lucky enough to meet the man who owned the cabin where the filming was done. He told me that they had to add the second story on for the story line. The film crew is obliged to put everything back the way it was at the end of filming, but he asked them to leave the place as it was, with the second floor still intact, so they did.

    I love this scene... Henry Fonda: "I could feel safe... I was still me." I agree that it is everyone's secret wish to just be able to grow old like Ethel and Norman and still be so much in love with each other... very, very special.

    • @annalopez4383
      @annalopez4383 3 роки тому +1

    This movie is one of my favorites. I am a huge fan of Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda but I also feel a really close connection with the film because I grew up going to the New Hampshire lakes during the summer. We have a cottage right on Winnisquam which is very close to Squam. New Hampshire is my favorite place in the world and I am only 15.

    My grandparents were, for me, more than my parents- They gave me a LIFE, full of wonderful memories- They were..really special- and I believe in true love because of them- During 77 years they loved each other madly- When my grandmother saw this film..she told me: "they are just like us!!"- just like Norman and Ethel- I LOVE this film, and each time I see it..well, it,s like seeing, again, my grand-loving-parents.

  • @juancarlosucedaperez3815
    @juancarlosucedaperez3815 5 років тому +3

    For me this is the most powerful scene of On Golden Pond and one of the main reasons that Katharine Hepburn won her fourth and final Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading role and Henry Fonda won his second and final Academy Award (the first one, as an Honorary Oscar, and this as Best Actor in a Leading role). Hepburn was so amazing in this scene (for all of those who say that Hepburn always played Hepburn 🙅, in this scene I don't see the spoiled and rich woman who was Hepburn in Morning Glory... I see a sweet and optimism old woman who try to encourage her husband) and Fonda too... Anyone who dared to say that Hepburn always played Hepburn, please, I want your opinions.

    • @jasonpeng33

      It really is..it shows Katherines resilience to be a loving unconditional wife to her bitter husband..its further expressed as Henry breaks down as to criticize himself for the way he is..

    Just watched this movie on Netflix...so much to say, this movie was so powerful to me....But this scene in particular has to be one of the most beautiful and touching performances ever captured on film! I had to pause and take a few minutes to recover from this. This showcases the power of film! And of course this transcends acting, this is the type of scene, that when understood, can enrich your life beyond measure!

    As a man you always feel the need to be the protector of your woman, your wife, your significant other. He was most vulnerable at that moment because with his memory loss he was losing his identity. What she did with the “knight in shining armor” line was so profound in that she was giving him back his pride and identity. We all know the woman really is in control of relationships. Men need to be reassured just like women do that they are still strong and attractive to their mate.

    Growing old. After having worked as a nursing assistant for s long in so many different nursing and retirement homes, I've realized how much of a hell it is for people to grow old. I don't know if it's worse for people now, since they live longer and then have the chance to become more sick and disabled, or if it's always been this way. Whatever the case may be, I feel like growing old has become something worse than what it was meant to be, but I don't have the solution for this.

      The people who harmed me were sons and boyfriends who proposed marriage. I had to refer to it as it. I had to detach to stay alive for the Lord, to do his will. I couldn't go in connected to such a horror. For my innocent mom and dad, who remind me of these two beautiful people. Sometimes you have to look hard, and see, he's doing the best he can do. 👌😁
