Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Your comment peace love, brought this verse from Romans chapter 1 to remembrance. Brother Paul an apostle chosen by God to preach the gospel of Christ was not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, and I am currently at the age of 31 right now. Been sharing the verses from the Bible for a long time since coming to Jesus Christ back in 2018 to become born again. May this verse help you out in following Him.
Probably the best scene in one of the best movies ever made. This film is endlessly ridiculed for being sickening sweet, but has so much to be learned from in it. Just imagine our world if people applied the concept of finding the good in people. It would be wonderful!
Pollyanna: "There are 800 Happy texts...did you know that"? Minister: No, i didn't know that. Pollyanna: Yes, well there are...my father said, "if God took the trouble to tell us 800 times to be glad and rejoice, HE must have wanted us to do it! ❤🥰
Absolutely ,I've loved this movie for so many many years and I wish it was something every child saw and adult atleast once a month .I've played the glad game in my home with my children and Grandchildren and Ofcourse ,If U only look for the bad You'll certainly find it ,Why not look for the Good in people .
Academy Award for Hayley Mills. And I think she deserved it. The way she hit that off-hand, disarming tone ...so natural. Maybe the greatest child performances ever.
That little dress she has on is beautifully made. Plaid is very hard to match seams up with and someone sewed this perfectly. It is a very detailed piece of work.
@@thelastsidewalk My best friend's grandmother sewed professionally, when I was a girl. She could have made this. It is just something I notice. You do too!
@@thelastsidewalk Disney Studios Wardrobe Dept made this dress. I wonder if the seamstresses were also responsible for the cast costumes back then at Disneyland. Probably made dozens and dozens ever week.
Hayley Mills recently released her autobiography and in the book, she says that plaid dress was her "least favorite and least comfortable of the dresses".
@@miamars90 Walter Plunkett designed the dress. He was nominated for 10 academy awards in his career, won it for An American in Paris. It was a costume, not a dress for wearing. It was designed for show, just like the high button shoes and the pulled back hair with the huge bow, probably all not too comfortable. I looked the dress up and his creating it validated my opinion of it. Similar to liking a painting and discovering a master painted it, which Plunkett was in his field. But Haley probably did hate it, she was a pro and knew not to complain. All the costumes look uncomfortable, except for the skinny dippers in the beginning!
Many years ago, I read something in ‘Readers Digest’ magazine that was a way to not be like the Abraham Lincoln quote of finding ‘the bad in people’. Find something good and then focus on that, see if it works. So I tried it the next day at our main Post Office. The lines were very long and most people were very grumpy, by the time they arrived at the postal clerks counter. It was my turn and I smiled and said to the grumpy clerk, that she such lovely fingernails. That my nails always crack or split and I admired hers. Her whole demeanor changed and she smiled too. I’ve found that this works almost every time--find something positive, be polite , smile.
The true power of Pollyanna isn't that she spread delight... it was that she didn't give a f*ck when people pushed back or got in her way. Proceed my dear, proceed.
This was the first scene that Hayley shot on this film and she admitted that at the start, in the morning, she didn't do a good job. She was distracted by being able to see the food service truck in the distance and she couldn't stop thinking about having an "American doughnut". When they broke for lunch, her father told her (nicely) that she hadn't been "on", and after that, the scene went fine.
@@thelastsidewalk That story is from an interview I saw last year on RU-vid, but now I haven't been able to find it again. Hayley was speaking from her home in England with an interviewer who probably was in the USA.
I think the reverend realizing his mistake is the best part of the movie. Later in the movie he rails her aunt explaining how the town was blessed the day she came to it.
I can think of lots of churches that need to watch this scene. Too many of them focus on the drama of Christianity and not enough of the happy parts of it.
Ah, they cut the part which makes this my favorite scene in the movie! Right after this, when Rev. Ford reads Aunt Polly's letter, and realizes than "nobody owns a church".
I am surprised that this is the first time seeing this clip on RU-vid. Lincolns words are profound and since watching this movie, decades ago, I have used his words many times. This movie is one of the best that Disney ever produced! Thanks for sharing!
A fun fact about that line. Lincoln never said that line. The writer/director David Swift came up with it and was quite proud of that whole scene. He was extremely honored that everyone thought that something he wrote was good enough to be thought about coming from Lincoln.
the nuclear family...the patriarchy....remembering....wisdom from a child...humility.... "humble yourself before The Lord" ...err child..."the word of the Lord endures forever"
It's very true to tell people the truth is very important, even when they don't want to hear it. But it's also very true that it's important to respect the dignity of our fellow man/woman.
Our family saw this Walt Disney film at an outdoor drive-in (no longer there) in 1960. As an 8 year old Catholic, indoctrinated with the Baltimore catechism, I shut my eyes to avoid the opening scene of skinny-dipping
Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John Chapter 10 27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. Galatians Chapter 5 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Here are some of the verses that are good. One of them I love the most is Matthew 24:13 about the one who endures to the end they shall be saved.
Aunt Polly explains to the Reverend earlier in the movie that Pollyanna's father was a minister in the British West Indies. I never noticed that as a kid, though! Clever of Disney to sneak that in to explain it.
@@bookdear That's an explanation for this particular role, but she still had the accent in all her other Disney movies too, in which she played Americans.
Halley's first movie was a little known British-made B&W called "Tiger Bay" (aka "Mystery at Tiger Bay") in a totally different role than she played in any Disney movie. A not so very nice tomboy.
Perhaps when you say "little known" what you mean is "little known in the United States". The film is seen often enough on British TV - it's a pursuit story in which Hayley's father (John Mills) plays a police detective on the track of a sailor (Horst Bucholst) who has kidnapped the little girl (Hayley Mills) who has witnessed him apparently committing a crime. A good film.
Numbers 32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out. 1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
you can't preach fire and brimstone or God loves you exclusively. you gotta preach the whole counsel of the law. that's fallen out of fashion today, sadly
Who better to get bible doctrine from than old honest Abe. Forget the part about "all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God" or "none righteous among you, no not one" Disney dosen't want to get people saved, just keep them entertained on the way to hell!
rich h your right , Lincoln was a good man but notice how the writers of this slyly used something other than the Bible to straighten out this pastor ! Preachers don’t let the world tell you how to preach,; use love , be happy but above all be truthful
Obviously you haven't listened to the DVD commentary. Lincoln didn't really say that at all. That quote was made up by David Swift, the director of the movie.
