One of the most powerful, magnificent scenes in television history on so many levels. An absolutely phenomenal scene and one of my favorites.
The reading of the letter is very powerful. Robert should've taken it to show the Resistance so they'd remember it as they fought for months.
Absolutely! Bonnie Bartlett was always a wonderful actress, and this is a perfect performance.
And absolutely relevant in this trying times.
@@WeissVogel 💯% ♥️ more relevant than ever.
Mine too. When I am in serious trial or in meditation, I often think of this segment.
I'm 47 years old and to this day, this scene remains as one of my favorite TV moments of all time! And it's more relevant now than any other time in my life, with our nation actually being taken over by evil leaders.
I’m 49. I was maybe 10 when I saw V (1985?) and I remember this scene. At 10 I maybe did not understand the complexity of those words in relation to the Holocaust but I knew something profound was being said and I remember being deeply moved by the actress and her performance - Bonnie Bartlett.
The message hear is so great and people sadly miss it.
Especially now!
@@xenofett7008 absolutely now. Even 9 months later when vaccines are becoming more and more mandatory in more places.
The best mini series of all time
Kenneth Johnson explains that they had to do this specific scene over and over again, because the actress playing Daniel's mother was not faking it, she was crying for real and at any take, she was never able to finish her line ... That's why the actor playing Daniel's father finishes instead; but originally, the actress was supposed to read it herself from beginning to end.
She was really moved by the content she had to read in the script, for real.
It plays better this way, anyway.
I saw this on television when I was 14; I cried and didn't know why.
I'm 53 now and I just teared up again but now I know why.
Just as Abraham had to teach Stanley the right thing to do Stanley had to do the same thing by making his wife read the letter. What is particularly moving here is Abraham's traumatic experience as a holocaust survivor. This gives him the moral authority to guide his family to do the right thing. The similarities between the nazis and the visitors are uncanny.
That was the idea here. It basically was Nazi Germany on a global scale.
yes V is an allegory of fascism and Nazism. Perhaps also of the NWO.
The only thing better than this scene in the miniseries is watching both 'or else we won't have learned a thing' scenes back to back. 😊
He fought 2 times against people who were trying to make slaves of people
Who will fight now? There is still slavery going on - and even more so as time continues to go on.
Or simply dead in the millions.
“We have to help. Or else we haven’t learned a thing.” The old adage about those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, delivered in a devastating way first by Abraham to his son, then by his son to his wife-a survivor of the Holocaust’s last lesson to his son, and the most important one. A lesson taught by over 6 million Jews alone, let alone all of the tens of millions that died by Nazi hands- lives that might have been spared if the world stood up to Hitler far sooner than they did. Because the other lesson to be learned here is that all that evil needs to flourish is for good people to do nothing.
Best scene of the entire series I think, the writing, acting and music make it so moving and emotional
yes so much better than that new V that came out in 2009.
2nd best. The best scene is when Abraham shows the kids how to properly vandalize space fascist propaganda.
@@joncarroll2040 3rd best. The very best is when Abraham tells his son what really happened to his mother. Watching her being marched off "To the showers with no water".
Abraham was the Biggest Hero of the show.
With Ruby a close 2nd.
And the biggest traitor is Daniel.
I subscribed to you because of Abraham's Final Message. I only wish I could go out with the same dignity as this brave old man.
Abraham would be so proud of his son.
Thanks for posting this! One of the best scenes ever!
agree 100 percent!
This is one of the best scenes of the miniseries this has meaning today in the 21st century you have to find the meaning in this scene
Almost 40 years later and still as relevant as ever.
That message was very inspiring
Great final message. Thx for upload.
Exactly what happened in Europe during the Nazi occupation when neighbors began turning their backs on each other.
The whole idea of this miniseries was taking Nazi Germany and putting it on a global scale. That was Ken Johnson's idea.
informants. And it is happening today also with the covid crisis. People are informing on those who they think are not obeying the restrictions.
I love this series and this scene so much. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for posting these.
*The other day, I was walking in a street of a middle-sized city of France, and I noticed on a ''V'' traced (with the general de Gaulle's cross inside the V) ... It obviously was an old house which probably used to be a small factory about to be demolished; the V seemed very authentic, traced with a white/grey-ish painting like concrete, and it was there for years and years ... I think it was really from the WWII days, since in some cities of France, on the old buildings, you can still see on the walls the ''V''s (either with or without the general de Gaulle's cross inside) that guys from the resistance used to trace on the walls ... Well, it was just another old building about to be demolished to build a new project
Kennith johnson legend
"...or else we haven't learned a thing."
In the paperback novelization of V, the letter is longer. But this is still good.
In the novelisation, Stanley and Lynn are featured a lot more. Not sure why-after this- they didn’t appear at all in the series until one shot of them in the final liberation.
@@alexanderjones9572 That was the sequel. I don't know why they didn't appear in the sequel. I guess they weren't interested.
People say that television and media has been negative and made us passive. This is one time where it did well.
I literally can't watch this and keep my eyes dry.
This idea is relevant idea in any place and time. There's is a circle of light and dark as they take turns ruling.
I wonder if the moment with Lynn's glasses was a mistake that they just kept in.
I was thinking somewhat - it seemed so real to me like anyone would do that with their glasses.
…and the clock, ticking in the background…
This and the scene by the pool house where Abraham offers to hide the Maxwells are the two most powerful and poignant scenes in the entire series.
I was too young to understand or appreciate this scene the first time I saw it. I was only interested in the aliens, the spaceships, and the lasers, which is why I found the second miniseries more entertaining. But after watching both miniseries plus the regular show years later, I realize how good the first miniseries was and how much the quality declined afterwards. Science fiction is great for allegory, even if it isn’t subtle. This series was truly ahead of its time. I look at the world today with the rise of fascism, the distrust of science, etc. This miniseries was based on the book It Can’t Happen Here. But Trump and MAGA shows that it absolutely can.
If fascism is globally on the rise...could the "New World Order/Antichrist/Mark of the Beast 666" be somewhat close behind? God help us all.😭
Well, Robert did die eventually.
I watched it happened on Sci-Fi.
Was it ever explained what happened to Abraham?
He was killed by the Visitors. The Visitors saw him an an old man they could experiment on and eat.
What's interesting is that they were not in the sequel, notice?
They were briefly shown in part 3 of the Final Battle when the resistance spreads the dust. You can see them stepping out of their house to watch as the balloons are flying. Nice touch. The original miniseries was the best V of all though.
@@samirsinha1135 If that was them, I could recognize the actor who played Stanley but Lynn looked like she was played by someone else.
The republican senate should be made to watch this.
The whole senate should.
They’re all lizards. Too late
Everyone needs to see this video. If you forget the past. Your doomed to repeat it.
You mean the Biden regime
