Wonderful, meaningful, powerful scene. My most favourite in this movie.
I still read Somerset Maugham's writing. This is a wonderful story about a good man in search of purpose. Extremely romantic, but not kitschy. Power and Tierney were perfect. The music was incredible.
Randall Huntley Somerset Maugham was a wonderful writer particularly of the colonial era and captivatingly evoked the human condition. Amazed more of his magical stories aren’t dramatised for film or tv
Newman was the best at composing "spiritual" music.
One has to admit that they sure knew how to make movies back then. Unfortunately movie making of this caliber is rapidly becoming a lost art.
The idea of transcendence, surrendering to something greater and sacred, is beyond the cynical grasp of our material culture, which fails to fill the deepest need of all humans.
Noe. Well said.
makes me so happy....thanks!
I wish Tyrone Power had found the knowledge in real life that he did in this picture and shared it with Errol Flynn.
The greatness of the Hindu philosophy of advaita vedanta shines bright in this scene..While the western world and their copycats(Japan, South Korea, Singapore etc) may have made massive material advancements, however they mean nothing as they are ephemeral and shortlived..The spiritual path of salvation presented by the east and moreso the Hindu philosophy of India is what proves ultimate meaning in life..
Shri Ganesha (Ramana Maharshi)!
The modern version with Bill Murray remains the most influential film experience of my life.
I feel the same way except I love the original in 1946. I think its great that we share the same film but in years apart.
I'm really happy there are people out there that feel this way. When I first saw the movie and read about how poorly it was received; it was very isolating to me.
The 1946 is more faithful to the book, but I felt Bill Murray's version captured, for me, the spirit of the book.
Read the book in fact read all his books, a master story-teller
The classic in 1946 is by far the best rendition of this classic. Tyrone Power at his best. What a cast.
I cannot play the two Holy Man clips too frequently lest the profound message goes stale.
I have to disagree. I think Come to the Stables (1949), The Bells of St. Mary's (1945) and some other movies with religion-related themes treated those themes quite delicately and properly.
His former girlfriend in the film was right. He was totally insane.
Please, do tell.
