A Chance Meeting | The Way We Were | Love Love 

I never thought of The Way We Were as a romantic comedy. I don't think I've ever seen it classified as a rom-com before.

💔😭

It’s a romantic drama, not romantic comedy. Same as “Casablanca” and “ Gone With the Wind.”

Love Robert Redford's he is still very handsome now 😍

Confusión, comedia es comedia, película de amor es otra cosa. Yo la recuerdo como película de amor ícono. Dr.Zivago.

So true

Except they both still love each other...star crossed lovers..

@@tinaokeeffe5060 Just what I was thinking.

And still do. Very painful.

The truest words❤

False. He was never into her.

I always thought so.

I completely agree with you

@Kacey Reagan probably too much sun on his ranch out west

B7tbit's the lafter Weeee wi reme e em ba When ecah we reme e en ba The way we w e r. e. Loved tge song. Scattered pictures Of rhe smilss we left behind Smiles we gave to one ano oth a .4 the way we were. I was a teen .living w a fellow student. Free. When we moved I had to give her my beloved Striesand albums. They were all I had. It was very poor out then. 😂 I cab donBarbea. Well,falsetto in places. I am an alto, baratone. Ha! My dav of hers is the duet with Celine. ' Tell him'. Magnafique. I.sure hope the hunky hubbs she bought really loves her .

1992 my first love.... i only wish he would live happy life

So so correct!!! The long shot of Glenda Jackson won for "A Touch of Class " won!!! Barbra was totally robbed of that Oscar!!! Politics as usual. The Academy did not want to award her more awards.

Two theories exist to explain her loss: 1). Her unpopularity in Hollywood at the time; and 2). The deletion of scenes--esp. the political ones--undermined her chances.

Hollywood hates her, because she refuses to conform. She “acts too much like a man.” Hence, her total lack of directorial nominations, even though she deserved at least one, for her great work in “Yentl.” I did find it ironic they let her present the Best Director award once, probably because everyone was certain Kathryn Bigelow would become the first female director to win the prize - and she did. (Still think reigning Best Director Danny O’Boyle should have been co-presenter). Like Ida Lupino and a few others, Streisand was a true pioneer, paving the way for other female directors to enjoy the acclaim she was denied. Two other female directors have since taken the prize (although not nominated, Sian Heder directed last year’s best picture winner, “Coda,” and won the Oscar for Best adapted screenplay). I respect Barbra’s talent and determination enormously. Most of the public does, too.

Outstanding performance!

@@emmalancaster2013 she is just like in this movie in real life:)

Also loved him in "The Great Gatsby" (albeit sad ending) and "The Natural" (happy ending). He was a gorgeous man!

You and I both

@Grace Adler good for you

@@LPD15ponce как фильм называется

He wasn't in love ! Only she was!!

Better to have loved & lost than never to have loved at all.

Definitely!!!.

@@annemccarron2281 It depends on how much it hurts and for how long.

Or that gets ripped away without being able to do a thing about it.

@@jjhpor time heals everything...

Sequel:. Hubble loses his spouse, again. And is retired from whatever he used to do. Packing up he peruses old photos and sees her. Cut to moving van and car driving Hubble to high end retirement center in (wherever Megan and Harry live) and there Hubble runs into his love again. This time it's a rom-com. Yes??? With Sussex Royal look alikes and plastic babies and the real Melissa McCarthy. And a billionaire truck driver who rescues dogs all over the USA.

True and that is such a pity. Same thing with TV 📺 shows. Most of the stuff written 50-60 years ago is far superior to most of the stuff aired on 📺 TV today.

Never…..

It's because it wouldn't be realistic. People don't love like this anymore. It's sad really :(

@@yyaaii Oh dear have you been hurt in love ? I don't agree at all that 'people don't love like this anymore' !

My mother loved this movie, I remember so clearly how much she loved it, and most of Barbra Streisand & Robert Redford. It was a great love story. In her memory, I think I will watch this classic!

@@strawberryredz1997 watch it and let me know what you think .. it leaves me in tears every time.. truly an epic Love story

I’m in my late fifties and no matter how many times I watch this and Love Story I end up in tears every time!

I know the feeling.

Me too

you said it perfectly, I always wondered what it would have been like.

To walk past someone who you used to run toward..pain.

I’m there now. And I’m in tears now. The love of my life, now and for always ❤…..

I usually go through a box of tissues whenever I watch this scene.

I think she loved him more.

@@Viv1398 No, they loved each other equally. Look at the way they look at each other and the little gestures.

@@13ththeatreco Sorry I don't agree, he did love her but nowhere near as strongly as she loved him. It was obvious from the start that she had the stronger feelings. He looked at her the way he did because of all their shared history.

Agree He loved her just as much as she loved him but she was the stronger person and wanted to impact life and that was too much for him.

Con sólo acordarme de esta banda sonora y de esta película esperando y esperando para que dieran la canción que le da titulo... una de mis favoritas.

I can understand the feeling. It happened to me with my ex. Your heart breaks but you go on. Everyone could see it and they talked about me after I left. They had all heard about me and seeing us together no one had to ask who I was. It's been a long time and my heart is breaking again as I write this.

I can’t watch this movie without getting choked up. Barb is absolutely stunning and the pain in her eyes when she holds him in this scene is just heartbreaking. I wanted them to end up together. You can see how much he loves her too…just a weak man, and yet she still loves him more than anyone ever will. This movie is still one of my favorites

@@paletteandeasel5167 That happened in my life. I had to give up the one who made my life complete. It was better that way. I'd have gone back in a moment for many years.

Crying... lumpy throat... 💔💔💔

Yes, she was cheated in not winning the Oscar for this performance, by far her best.

@@eldiran2 who won?

@@larciabella Glenda Jackson, 'A touch of Class".Perfectly decent, charming performance.

@@eldiran2 oh I have that movie.Its ok but I can see why you think that.

@@eldiran2 this came out in '73?

😘

2 wonderful actors

To bad it’s not real but they make you believe it is!

@@dondressel452 You are right, they made me believe it's real.

Even the performance by the actress playing Hubbell's wife is perfect, she appears to shrink before the suddenly rekindled flame emanating between Hubbell and Katie, and never utters a word.

Спасибо за мудрую цитату.

Story of my life🥺

@@carpediem6221 doesn't have to be-----look at what you call yourself. Seize the love my friend. Be open to it.

@@carpediem6221 same here

I so miss you Michelle K from TX

Still hate this ending. He abandoned his child

Yes, it makes you realize just how shallow he actually was.

I disliked that cold man who left a pregnant woman, this was not love. 😈😈😈

@@elisabethdakak878 He was shallow and very selfish!

He was only a sperm donor. I think Katie got into all this mess because she wanted to be impregnated by him. Crazy woman.

Barbra streisand and Robert Redford were absolutely fantastic in this film. The music made me cry. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

Now, I'm crying. I knew I shouldn't read these comments, but, I had to. ❤

Random smamdom. Pooey gooey

Wow...this was so well expressed!

Como pode alguém normal q não é um criminoso ter um filho junto por amor, uma paixão, algo maravilhoso não ter o q conversar? Um filho, um ser humano, alguém por quem se luta por um mundo melhor, como uma criança vai entender essa mãe e a ausência desse pai. O egoísmo desses dois está acima de qualquer princípio, talvez pq no filme eles não tenham família.

Steve - Beautifully conveyed!❤️

Me too

I had this movie on VHS, DVD, and now streaming and I still bawl my eyes out.

Eating onions while watching?

@@richardkronberg4925 I’m not quite sure if you’re mocking me. If you are, please let me know.

@@sampuatisamuel9785 And that music ....

Barbra Streisand was a terrific actress who deserved an Oscar for this movie. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

He was good i. 'OUT OF Africa ' also. My 2nd fav film ' Gone with the Wind ' #1.

He winces while hugging her as if in pain..so poignant

Streisand Barbra another movie 😂

I agree, her and Cher have that "it" factor, they both are multi talented!

@@teresaromanski3925 I agree....and I feel like Bette Midler fits into that category too.

There's also glen close with a stunning voice and she's a fabulous actress

@@lala-gj4oo I didn't know Glenn Close could sing. Will look for vids of her singing

I always cry when I watch this film. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

Never let politics ruin your relationships is the lesson

Why did he give his daughter up?

@@TheNOGGS Unfortunately, that's sort of the way divorce typically went back then. When people divorced, One parent, got the kid and the other disappeared.

@@hollygolightly8943 wow! That’s sad ☹️

Hi Teresa how are you doing

I've this I have watched it over and over again and again

and "Sunflower" by Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. Have you seen the movie, yet? It might make you cry. I did cry my eyes out.....

@Frances - Oh, yes!!

It really is!

THE most romantic and heartbreaking scene in film history

Ditto... The thing is, you KNOW they still love each other...Heartbreaking.

Agree

Well said ..v true..I share ur views..fact that, .they still love each other but had to give up on that true love for extraneous reasons ..that adds to agony thousand times..

And they both know he CANNOT come for a drink, and it would only be cruel to bring his wife along.

Me, too. Every time.

Hello Christine how are you doing ❤😊

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

Me too, this movie slayed me when I first saw it back then as a teen. Still does…stirs so many emotions….

Marvin Hamlisch played the piano when Barbra Streisand and James Brolin got married. She even made a cute joke about it that night, saying that "Hamlisch is back doing weddings".

No. It never ceases. It's just painfully beautiful.

It's a heart- breaking scene because we all knew that they should have been together. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

Nope

I hope not.

I also sob in the scene where she asks him to stay until the baby is born.

He really loved her but politics got in the way. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

@@harperstacey9604 Pretty much...

Hi Caroline how are you doing

Hello

Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand were perfect in their roles. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

I cried so hard until I couldn't breathe. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

@@harperstacey9604 I've only to think about it, and I cry.

@@carolegriggs3107 the Way we were was the saddest Love story in movie history. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

Was this the final scene?

@@angelight677 Yes, the final scene - every time I watch it, I'm willing it not to be...heart wrenching.😢

They should have been together. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

Marvin Hamlish said the Way We Were theme should come in at that point! Was he right or what!! YES, he was.

I just think they will stay together. Because they were in true love

This is the greatest love story of all time.

Me too!

Me too

I just cant help laughing

Me too 💗

Hi Nancy how are you doing

He didn't blow it with her. He couldn't measure up to what she wanted him to be. She was the one who didn't know how to just sit back and relax and let life come at you. Had Katy been just a little less intense, they would have stayed together.

Qual o nome desse filme..em portugued

Her political CRAP is what ruined it!

Calm down jessie

It was because he can’t see his daughter, it would destroy him. Nothing about politics

@@adorejunk why wouldn't he want to see their daughter?

@@harperstacey9604 They have both moved on in their lives. But seeing his kid once, knowing it will only be the one time, and he will mean nothing to her, just “ an old friend of Mommy’s” would break his heart. That’s why he can’t come.

@@jenniferlapidus2229 he should at least pay for child support. I don't understand why he didn't want to be in his daughter's life from the beginning.

@@harperstacey9604 Child support wasn’t really a thing until 1975. This movie takes place in the 1940s and 1950s. Plus it’s a movie, of course. Apparently they made a lot of cuts in the film before it was released, so they went from happily married to divorced in, like, 2 scenes. Didn’t make a lot of sense.

Great movie but such a tear jerker. I can watch it over and over and I cry every time as though it was the first time.

A Big Amen.

And heartbreaking...

How about scream 3?

"When you are a grown woman you will realize that life can be complicated and love doesn’t always conquer all. She added it’s wonderful when it does but sometimes it can’t and this movie shows that perfectly". Beautiful words!!!

. . . " Ah , ' self - preservation ' ... how correct of you to both 'do' - and mention that. Learned that 'one' the hardest way .

Hi Elizabeth, how are you doing?

Hi Kate, how are you doing?

Wow! I would have loved to watch this in theaters

LOL. I remember too. Everyone sobbing and then the lights came on. LOL

12-year-old me wept when she didn't win the Oscar that year, even though I also loved Glenda Jackson's performance.

Some men can not deal with strong women, they are weak. They prefer the quiet kind of good girl. Cowards.

Well, we can dream, can't we?

Hi Lisa how are you doing

Lisa L, how true! 😭

She was a good sport. Even her eyes had touches of lightheartedness and good wishes to them. And so sad, but life goes on aspect in the hustle and bustle of New York. Just a slice in time. The perfect parting to last a lifetime.

Hi Linda how are you doing today 😊

An iconic pairing! We'll bring the clips, you bring the tissue! 😭

Hi Connie how are you doing

Thank you for sharing this

Great insight! Thanks for sharing. 100% agree. That totally reframes the ending!

👍🔥

I always wondered why they split up especially when the baby was on the way now I totally understood the reason behind

Had no idea, a significant missing piece, possibly the most important scene of the entire film, cut- I would really like to see that scene, thanks.

I guess if they did a sequel this scene would not be the same. So Beautiful Barbara and Robert. Loved this movie

Barbra wanted to do a sequel but Robert said no so she wouldn't do it without him

The happy ending would have been beautiful. These two are so amazing together❤

Sequels are usually bad. Leave well enough alone

A decade after _The Way We Were_ was released, Robert Redford contacted screenwriter Arthur Laurents to discuss the possibility of collaborating on a sequel where Hubbell and his daughter, a radical like Katie, would meet and the complications that would ensue. Ultimately, the idea was dropped.

Hi 👋 how are you doing

That old devil they call love always makes me cry after all these years the look in his eyes every woman should get that look once in her life 💙

yes

Dave B. You romantic, great observation!

Well said! You conveyed that final scene beautifully. I share your sentiment.

True ...well said... great......Indeed re-watched clip after reading & it made deeper impact...thanks for sharing ur keen observations

Something must have been done with lighting or in post production because her eyes truly pop throughout this scene. Sure she was born with big blue eyes, but here they positively glisten.

Hi Linda how are you doing today

Hi jean how are you doing

Hi Amy how are you doing today 😊

Hi my friend how are you doing 😊❤

That's a great description of the movie. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
