I feel The same

Her presence is also really powerful in this movie. Love it ♥️

no doubts

Yes . I'm 63 and it makes me cry..

nice movie, i just didn't like her when she was all arrogant and obnoxius towards him and his friends, right down nasty she was with her comunist ideas

⁠​⁠​⁠@@AT-cy7im You could have simply left it at “nice movie” since you obviously don’t understand the premise of the movie nor the era it depicted.

@@dozzer009 u joking right ? the fact that she was insanely selfish in her personal persuits to the point of ruining her family shoudl not be mentioned ?! only the love story is important? the fact that she took him to be while he was pased out ? LOL are you kidding me ??

A woman falling in love. Too one sided.

He knew he loved her when he went to his ex-girlfriends house to ask about moving to Hollywood and she gave him the answer he wanted to hear and knew at that moment that Katie was the girl for him and all really wanted was Katie's approval on his first draft of the novel.

​@@marymiller4494yes but Katie was living a delusion and she was too competitive with him. .....he realized this in the delivery room when he brought her flowers and he looked around and she was surrounded by a garden. He gave up. She seems neurotic in this film, just way too independent and unwilling to be vulnerable with him. He's constantly asking her to be real with him, but she's putting on a show for him...she somehow is insecure of her Jewish roots and is trying to show him he's not better than her.

Totally agree!!!!

And she never stopped.

Who isn’t? In. Love with him

@Mary Kruk I loved him in “All the Presidents Men”.

I am in love with him too, lol

she had to coerce him with food. This is a pivotal point in the movie. It shows that he did not want to spend time with her. a lot of women make the mistake she did when a man is not interested in them.

Redford is different with BS because he said he wasn't comfortable with her. Something like that. He liked Natalie however Wood and was in her wedding in real life. This is probably why these two have no chemistry - Redford just couldn't click with BS. He said in an interview that he wore two underpants for the love scenes. 😮😮 Redford was more comfortable with Meryl strep also. It took the director two years to finally get Redford to do this movie - Redford really didn't want to work with BS.

Opposites attract but they don't last. After 26.5 years and 2 kids, my wife and I divorced because we were always diametric opposites and just never truly bonded. It's been 17 years and I know I will always love her, so the end of this movie always hits home.

​@@stevejensen3471That's what happened to my parents. He did remarry but she never did. This movie makes me cry every single time I see it.

Bridesmaid peps me up,hilarious

And bridges of Madison County, ah,she faints.

The movie took place during the time my parents dated. It took them back and back to that time. They often looked at each other like that. They loved each other so much. I wish I could tell you...

He was a brunette. Look at his roots. First time I noticed it and yours was the first comment. Lol. he definitely needed his roots dyed here. I thought he was a natural blonde till i saw this scene. Every other time he was in a movie, his roots were touched up. I recently saw a video with his natural hair. Its medium to dark brown. Look at his part.

Redford was gorgeous in the seventies. In his prime. Attractive beautiful yet masculine man. Hard to find men like him these days.

@@m.e.d.7997 yes he had that combination.

Redford actually had reddish hair. He was never a blonde since he was a little boy. His hair is bleached here.

@@HolgerRuneFan right. His roots are very dark and if you look at photos of him early on, his hair was medium-dark brown. So I think the blond highlights here and also maybe he made his hair more red than blonde in certain films

I don't believe he loved her. Maybe he admired her for her strength. She tried to manipulate love. If a man is not physically attracted to a woman, there isn't a chance. That's just my opinion .Watch this scene again. He did not want to stay at her house. She coerced him with food. You can coerce someone only for so long.

And that's why here, you don't know. Bc it's not true love. It's one sided hero worship by an insecure woman with low self worth.

Lol I just have to laugh a little. I believe it could be your own bias and definition of beauty that's clouding your view, just a bit. Like, how could someone like HIM ever settle for ethnic looking Babs. Although I admit these first moments were a little uneven and awkward, so are many of our real life moments of hooking up with someone...although I believed Hubbell when he said she was beautiful... I have never met a man, especially one as inarguably attractive as he was, who would ever care about eating a steak if the woman cooking it for him he felt was so crushing on him and so unattractive, let alone then to initiate intimacy and then to proceed to spend the next decade or whatever it was, absolutely devoted to her, and loving the idea, initially of course, of having their baby...no man could or would be able to put up such a facade and pretense lol, esp one who could have everything and anyone he really wanted? Instead he got back together with her and moved her in to a beautiful home on the beach in Malibu. She was his best friend, she was his life, he shared and bounced everything off of her...it wasnt till he recognized all he indeed wanted was the easy way, was perfectly comfortable selling out and not fighting the good fight, that he finally looked for reassurance elsewhere...he was tired of pretending he was worthy of her, if you ask me, and finally was accepting himself that he couldn't live up to his potential, just wanted the money and lifestyle...

@@stevieray8428 You're right about one thing - he wanted the easy life. And nothing is easier than a woman who adores you; compliments the shit out of you; is willing to do anything and everything for you; disrupts her life for you (as she did in that radio station); spends all her money on you (as she did with the ration stamps). She did everything for him except wipe his ass and she would have done that too if he had asked her. He never fell in love with her. He fell in love with his reflection in the mirror - the illusory, illustrious him that Katie reflected back at him. He left bc he ultimately had to accept that the reflection Katie was projecting back at him was a lie. You pretty much said so yourself by acknowledging "he finally looked for reassurance elsewhere". Last time I checked, LOVE != REASSURANCE. "I love you bc you reassure me I'm fabulous." Please. And, yeah, sorry to break it to ya, but Katie was never in his league and he's always been all about the league.

@@innag6888 I know what you're saying, but I feel like its easy to forget that their lives didn't really exist in movie time, for this analysis, we have to believe they were real people in real time....daily life, as you know, can seem painfully slow, redundant...I dont know how many different types of relationships you've been in - maybe youre a little younger or lucky enuf to have found that special one early on, so your experience may be limited in variety...lol, unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on the day lol, I have been in my fair share.... At one point, I was going thru an extremely difficult time, depressed, grieving a loss, and I had a wonderful man propose to me and want to take care of me...he was actually quite handsome, tall, lean, perfectly symmetrical, almost pretty features with beautiful blue eyes and long lashes, but yet in no way effeminate...he was so absolutely crazy about me? It would have been so easy to just to stay with him because he spoiled me, let me take time from working, brought home gifts and thoughtful surprises and notes, and as bad off as I was, he somehow only saw this great girl full of potential, who he had said, he was honored by and grateful for. All I had to do was go along for the ride? Maybe a human could pull it off for one year at the most...but trust me, and I was no equivalent to his level of attractiveness nor did I have an immediate, easy successful career going for me? And yet, you just cannot keep that up, sorry. To have to spend every day and night, day in and day out, have to have sex w someone so nuts about you but you feel nothing for? Every night? To be nuzzled, cuddled, etc...To be kissed by them so passionately and you just don't feel it? It becomes nauseating? To have to wake up every single day to them stupidly gazing at you lol? All you quickly start to want is to feel like that too. And not to feel like you're having to force it and live this lie? Maybe, this is just me, I dont know...but unless she also came with a trust fund from daddy we never knew about, I just don't see it. That level of selfless devoted intimate deception is too hard to pull off for that length of time... ...yes, he needed reassurance that him being a total superficial sellout tool would be acceptable to his more attractive, empty headed, like minded ex-girlfriend to the plastic ken doll he really was...

Too bad it fell apart at the end with one of the worst editing jobs in motion picture history ... in fact, so badly chopped that it literally altered the story (making it look like they broke up over infidelity).

You know that he's still very much alive, don't you?

He’s more handsome than brad Pitt I’m a straight male too lol

donkeydump63 and unfortunately very very old - looking

@@MTknitter22 yes everyone ages 😂😂😂 not a soul alive is immune

As of this writing he is 85 but more accomplished and successful as ever! ❤ him to pieces.

Jes Rasa iz naci ,,fuj,, holivud

@@vesna.krstic8691 ROMANS 6:23

We had a measure of class back then. We also wished each other well. At least the best of us did.

Without Marvin Hamlisch lush music, the movie wouldn't have been as good.

Before democRats destroyed it

@@Iwtchutube yes indeed. NYC was my stomping grounds in the 70's and 80's. an amazing city now destroyed.

@@crochethappy3786 Cali is worse

@@Iwtchutube very sad.

Yep growing up in NY and going to school there in the 60's and working there in the 60's early 70's was so great! So exciting and bustling. Now a hell hole. So glad I left years ago!

so?

Well, he's in his 80's now. The version of him when he was in his prime as here is long gone. No one in their 80's is going to be anything close to what they were in their 30's and 40's...that's just the way it goes. He still looked pretty good into his late 50's and early 60's. It's like an athlete, you reach your peak and then It's slowly downhill after.

Everyone gets old.

@@captainh3831 Have you seen Barbra lately? She certainly didn't age well!

We all age. I’m 45 and never really saw this movie. Wasn’t alive yet, but it always melts my heart to see all these senior celebrities so young. We all were young and beautiful once.

@@auroraaurora2420 I know we all age. I was young and pretty when I watched the movie and now I'm 71 but what I meant is that he had such a beautiful face and even his face skin has changed a lot. I used to have breakfast in a place in NY City where he used to go too. I saw him once long time ago.

There was a time that I couldn't watch this movie, the pain was so great for me. But I agree the best love story ever.

A classic example of how love just isn’t enough sometimes…they loved each other but were so incompatible in so many ways. Love this film.

Nah. A feminist would never be so desperate

@@shelleysolomon2228 Feminists are desperate, they just won't admit it. The're desperate for something they will never attain.

@@forlove5859 Lol, ok I’ll bite, what exactly haven’t I attained?

Me too 😢

The end is so frustrating .

no they didn't. she loved him.

@INDY girl well, he also wanted that type of woman. Silent

So true!! And I'm old enough to have seen quite a few wrecks in my lifetime. Just recently here on RU-vid, a couple who travelled the world and vlog their travels, broke up because after 7 years of travelling and living together. They decided to settle down in Mexico. He wants to have children and she doesn't; that was the deal breaker.

It’s that whole “opposites attract” thing, which I think only works on certain things. Values and principles, no. Some personality traits like outgoing vs. shy or quiet vs. gregarious, yes.

I think that was the whole point of the movie - wouldn't you agree?

After seeing this movie in the 70s and recently, I don't believe he was ever in love with her. She was physically attracted to him, and saw him as a project. She was not his type and in this scene had no interest in her, just crashing at her house. The food kept him there. And with her strong personality, she kept pushing....he gave in, then left in the end.

@@crochethappy3786 They also came from very different backgrounds.

you must be an introvert

She has personality …

the minute she said she got steaks with her ration stamps, i would have picked her up, kissed, her, proposed, and then spoiled her for the rest of her life.

Really? They had an affair offscreen?

​​@@samhayet4286 In another interview Redford said that he wasn't comfortable with BS but he really liked Natalie Wood and Meryl Strep. During his love scenes with BS Redford said he wore two pairs of underpants! There is no chemistry between these two actors! Redford said he didn't want her to sing in the movie! And the director had to ask Redford for two years to do this film - Redford finally agreed...

HE not she was gorgeous

@@bsbusterbsbuster463 She, shmock!

@@bsbusterbsbuster463 wearing a uniform doesn't say somebody is gorgeous.

@@bsbusterbsbuster463 open your eyes. Are you blind? She is GORGEOUS

@@michaelandrematrhews9972 she's never been gorgeous and never will be gorgeous

Как можно смотреть и не понимать смысл,он её любил и ушёл любя.Он не выдержал её характера,разные принципы.Не все мужчины любят классических красавиц.

@@Оленка-ц3г нет,они расстались по другой причине.Сидней Полак (режиссёр) вырезал сцену из фильма,где показывается,что Кэти была внесена в чёрный список из-за своей политической активности.Если бы они не развелись,то Хабблу больше бы не дали работы в Голливуде.Когда в последнем эпизоде он говорит ей:"Ты никогда не сдаёшься"-она отвечает :"Только когда меня вынуждают"-имелось ввиду именно это,что она отказалась от него,чтобы он не лишился работы.

Him dancing with her and then walking away. I've been there. Adored him from afar for 4 years.

Barbra had a crush on Robert Redford but he was happily married to his first wife, Lois.

@@harperstacey9604 Yes, but there’s a rumor that they had a fling during the movie (I don’t know if that’s true).

@@bhar48204 Barbra streisand always tries to have affairs with her handsome leading men.

@@harperstacey9604 his wife was so ugly too.

@@harperstacey9604 OMG, she's not trying, she doesn't have to, it's going wise versa.

Absolutely. The best love story ever!

Why give away the whole story like this?

@@EyeLean5280 you should have seen it way before. Geeze!!! It's a classic. Try watching it.

I am in my 60's and remember this movie, yet my life had only begun without any real life experiences yet. I'm reading the comments bc I want to see if anyone sees this scene as I do, never having realized its impact before. I totally agree with you. As a Jewish woman myself, who always sees herself as an activist, I have always attracted weak men who at first saw my strength as something they admired, but later resented. I can say that in both my marriages, I am not sure there was love from my partner and I can so relate to how Barbras character was constantly trying to win him over, when it was evident that he really never wanted her. A gorgeous Gentile man with a strong Jewish woman...He was no match for her. She saw in him a man she could mold, but she didn't have the Gentile, soft spoken woman personality that made him the man in the relationship. (before anyone reacts to that comment, most Jewish women would understand.) I always tried to be that kind of woman to my husband who began resenting my strong personality that once attracted him to me. She was always trying to help and "better" better someone who didn't want to be "bettered". Its bc her character was very intelligent and sharp, and he was laid back. I have seen resentment from my spouses for this character in me. She was just too needy and wanted to be in control. This scene is very sad bc she had to coerce him to have dinner and it appears he gave in without true desire. It was that way through the entire movie. I saw the movie about a decade ago, and didn't believe he really ever loved her. It reminds me of the scene in Saturday night fever where the friend of Travoltas coerces him to intimacy with her. She is a pathetic character in that movie. The same with Barbras character.

@@crochethappy3786 I believe in the end she finally saw him as he wanted to be. I believed she still loved him, but not like the way they were. I also love she was her original self, hair and all. Still protesting.

@@crochethappy3786 I don’t see her as pathetic

Barbara was beautiful. Yes. I realized that one of my acquaintances looks like her. I never could pinpoint who she reminds me but now I I know she looks like young Barbara. She is short but athletic and attractive and she has face of Barabara!

So Nonconsensual intimate acts, yeah no

Brad is cute, but Robert Redford was gorgeous. At least to me...he is my all time heart throb. :)

I’ve always thought Robert Redford could so easily be Brad Pitt’s father…very similar ❤

I thought the same. Brad Pitt is his generation Robert Redford. They’ve played similar characters in some movies. Both devilishly handsome with real acting ability.

only one person is in love here and it ain't hubs

He was certainly in love but different.

@@ningtaylor6186 nope. he was just along for the ride

@@innag6888 You don't deserve this film

@@maryfrancesoconnor4770 thanks! i think so too. I deserve better.

I have seen this movie several times and when it came out. I have come to believe that he was bulldozed by her. She kept coercing him and many times he wanted to walk away. Perfect example is this scene. She guilted him into having dinner. Without the dinner she had nothing to offer him to want to hang out with her. Somehow 50 years later, I see this movie differently. I've lived it.

Yeah he is intrigued by how desperately in love she is with him lol

He loves the attention and being the center of her life - just not her!

Same. Her and Omar Sharif also had great chemistry.

@@kimberlyr.7712 Hey...hey...hey...in this picture isn't Omar Sharif...is Robert Redford.

Love makes everyone beautiful including men. The woman behaving part sounds a little twisted.

@@lightshift3431 Don't overthink it

@@lightshift3431 it sounds to me like she made a reference to her song

Ahhh 😅 yes! Barefoot in the Park! Soo handsome and good looking and....

I believe it was self inflicted. He was her project. She coerced him to stay for dinner when he wanted to leave. It wasnt about her ever. It was about what she did for him and that wont last.

It was heartbreaking to see them split up. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

💋 Like maybe "The Way We Are" ♥️ Lol

And she kinda looks like Barabara too

@@olinebar7193 She really does!

Remember in satc , Sjp did a line out of this film to mr big .

@@Redpilled-vv5lk Yesss! I remember this episode. "Your girl is lovely Hubble" I'd never seen the clip however, I never knew just how close her acting style was to Barbara's during the whole series.

I always thought that to. DNA test would be interesting.

.... you are right but Brat Pitt didn't age too well because of his drinking and his crazy wife Angie. I did see a picture of Robert Redford the other day and for an 80 year old he looks okay but he also resembles an older Elton John!!
