This movie was part of my high school years in the 80s...I miss those days..when you believed in love...we were young and care free and happy go lucky...innocent, believed the world was all good..it all seemed so much more simple back then yet we made more drama over the smallest things.. lol...the love letters that we actually wrote BY HAND to one another..the drawing of the hearts on someones school locker that we secretly liked... it was fun, so much fun :-)
Life is cruel. Time passes and we misses the time we best spent. more sadly we miss someone we loved the most who is not our lives now. Someone like me, could not even tell her my love. I remember i used to cry. Never had a talk with her after the school. She married later. She is happy now I guess.
@@classroom3223 I was a 1980s teen. Damn, the 80s were fun. I reflect a lot. Older now, of course. The years, and decades how flown by. Older now than my parents were when I was in high school. Some family members, and friends, have since passed on. When you are an adult the reality and truth of life is so real, and so in your face. When you are a kid, living in the reality that was our reality back them seemed so dramatic, lol. And I guess it was as we were living it. When you became an adult, so much reflecting about the past. Some great memories, and some things wish we could go back and redo, change. Wiser now, for sure. Line from Pet Shop Boys song that sums up a lot to a point, and gets to me. People come into our lives, some remain since we were kids, some we lose touch with, some grow apart, some have passed on. There are some you wish were around, who are not around for whatever reason. This gets to me. I never dreamt that I would get to be The creature that I always meant to be But I thought in spite of dreams You'd be sitting somewhere here with me
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams.
Hell, these days certain social media obsessives even SEEM to have accepted that. Their main goal in the time they spend with people, the activities they do, the places they visit, etc., is apparently 'making memories'. It always struck me as twee, because the phrase is so unoriginal and overused. And surely enjoying the moment now, is MEANT to be the aim (rather than just hoarding endless photos on social media to 'look back on')?! But who knew?! Maybe social media copycats, are actually more profound and fatalistic than I gave them credit for. Or maybe they are just twee and unoriginal. Take your pick.
@carolinafan2016 - You are so welcome! Have hope and stay true to yourself. As long as you do that, you will find the right person who will love you just for you. :)
I watched this movie last 1981 together with my late sister and we love the story very much.Until now it makes me cry remembering my sister because it was her favorite movie and we are the fans of Brooke Shields .NowI'm already 71 and still hoping to see the movie once more .It's a touching story of true love ,seldom could be found now in new generations....
@Eric Smith Very well said.. i was in love in college.. and now being single and being in my mid 20's the last thing I'd want is being "in love". It sounds cheesy but i love being single and not relying on anyone or needing someone.
It is hard to find "great" Chemistry. It's destiny. It is the alignment of the planets. It is the issue that the opposite gender is just too stuck up. People change (when they get old) but it is kind of late because they are close to death, unattractive physically, and ready for the coffin. Late Teens and people in their twenties think that 1000 years have to pass away, and then they will turn "21" years of age. Life is not like that, but they will see it and experience it once they are gray and wrinkled. Words of wisdom does not do any justice. They have to live and breathe the journey. They will understand the situation once they are old and alone.
You can still have an unconditional happiness and fulfillment that comes from within you. Yes, it would be great to have this and it's more than just a supplement. But there's a kind of happiness and fulfillment that comes only from within and that only you can give you. You and your life can be complete and whole from this and it is enough. You can then be happy and feel whole and complete even without this. Maybe it still won't be as good, but it will be plenty good enough. So, seek within, not out.
I don't understand why, but this movie has always been so powerful to me to the point where I have to emotionally prepare myself to watch it. This last scene is the best scene, and stirs up such emotion in me, I sobbed so much the first time I watched it.
After 40yrs looking for my first love I finally found him! Thank you Lord amen 🙏 it was painful I still can feel the pain he gave me until now! But I love him.
@@naughtyvalues I think his is my destiny… I did looked for him for 40 yrs thank goodness we have now social media 😂 and yes I found him in Facebook! He was my classmate when were in college. Stay safe!
No Disrespect to the 2014 Endless Love. But To Me The 1981 Endless Love Was Better Because It Was More Passion... And That's Why The 80's Was So Awesome. PASSION... And The Music GREAT... !
🥺♥️ that's was my favourite scene. Nobody will Love me like that the way David did . She 💯 she will get love but they will never love they way he did . It's a once in a lifetime thing . The way he loved was rare . The way I see it it was his childhood wounds not getting the love from his parents . I relate too David .
The years of notes being passed in hallways. I remember the note my husband wrote asking me to go with him when I was in 7th grade. We wandered in and outta of each others lives for about 8yrs. Then on June 10th 1987 he showed up at the door with a rose. I had not talked to him for at least a year. Here we are 32yrs later. Husband & Wife, Mom & Dad and now Mammaw and Pappaw. He is my only true love. We couldn't help ourselves when young. We were always drawn toward each other.
That’s real. That’s why I believe u only love God and urself. U care for people, but not to the point u can’t live without them. It shouldn’t be anything in this world we can’t walk away from in a heartbeat if necessary.
Met my endless love in 1977 when we where 15 separated just after this came out the cynicals will say it does not exist at such a young age but I can assure you it does took me one failed marriage and twenty years to find someone to love like that again I still think of her now and that was 36yrs ago we recently became friends on Facebook so it's gone someway to healing the wounds but when I hear this song it brings it all back again
And I certainly will never forget my endless love, Tonia and 1985/86. Just as in this movie it was only a fleeting moment in time......and then I hurt for months just like David did in the movie. But, at least for a moment in time it was nice.
I had one Love in my life where i felt this intense love but now he is gone and has been for awhile but my hearts still aches...i am the fool because i will always love him until i take my last breath.
I met my first love on the schoolyard at age 16. We were together for a few years then broke up. He moved out of state. He came back to me after a 20 year failed marriage. I had wondered about him after all those years. Our second time around onky lasted 5 years. I felt He came back for the young girl he left but he found a 36 year old woman. I wish I left him in the past. Him and the memory were much better. He cake into my life mourning his failed marriage. I received him into my life believing I would have happily ever after. His leaving me caused me so much more damage I still have not fully recovered and we broke up the second time in 2003. Whej someone tells you for 5 years that they will grow old with you, it's kind of like being brainwashed. You believe it. Sometimes it's not good to return.
why I feel very sad after watching this movie.. felt like I'm David who had found his true love but lot of barriers ahead.. Truly Sad Ending ever.. 😭😭😭
The ending of this movie: Is she really coming back to see him or is he imagining it? I really think people should read the novel Endless Love that the movie is based upon. It's way more detailed about their relationship but the ending isn't that happy...it's peacefully resolved in an un-resolving and sad way. I don't think anyone forgets their first love, and if it didn't turn out well, I will warn you that reading that book won't be enjoyable, but it's necessary! I read the book once and it made me so angry...it triggered a lot of the pain over my own situation. Sometimes in life, the only way you can go on is by closing the door to a part of your past unless somehow it can be resolved and healed. For me, I've written/journaled, prayed, tried to learn the lessons of my debacle ad nausem, and yet, all it takes is a clip like the one above to open the wound.
It's up for imagination unless Franco Zeffirelli, the director, said it wasn't. What was his point of view? For me, I don't think it was she seemed older and not some high school girl fantasy. Anyway Watched it as a kid back in the nineties and threw up as soon as it ended, haha. I remember feeling so bad and only now I know they were triggers cause I've just watched this and threw up again. Ah fascinating our minds eh
@E Smidt SPOILER: The book and movie have different endings and different things happen. In the book, David is retelling the whole story, and they are not together anymore. I suggest reading the book.
It’s purposely ambiguous. Despite EVERYTHING that happened, both of them still love each other very much, but will they get back together??? -- In that way, this ending honors the essence of the book. -- In the scene w/ Brooke Shields & Mom, she’s younger. / In the scene w/ Martin Hewitt, some years have passed. So if Brooke is coming to see Hewitt, it took her some years to work through her own mentality. And during all those years, Hewitt is still longing & thinking of Brooke Shields. -- Again, while it is different from the book, it still very much honors the message of what the book is trying to say (even if the rest of the film doesn’t, book is a masterpiece btw).
It feels pain to think about first love. I cry most of the time. But i think this is life and life goes like this. Life is heaven for someone and hell for others 🥲
Thank you for being vulnerable and telling part of your story. Life, especially life today in 2023, is hard as hell. No one gets through unscathed. That said, we can walk in an attitude of joy despite the hardships. Joy is always an inward process. We can experience joy even through the darkest of circumstances. That, however, takes cultivation of our inner world. I wish you joy in this realm and any other that you experience!
Amazing film - I was 20/21yrs when I first saw it at Cinema with my girlfriend we were both obsessed with each other at the time and I think the film could have left Subconsciously - emotional scars down the road of life - as not too long after we had a harsh emotional break up - being young and naive you never know till it happens how emotional painful it is, to part ways with true love - and in retrospect it’s the cliche of being stronger for experience!!! Do we ever totally compensate???? As alas such experiences makes you wary from then on for ever and a day to be totally committed to love in reckless abandonment - this film encapsulates these emotions to a Tee !!!
I rember seeing this movie when i was in junior high school i have always loved this scene wnen she and her mom are walking through the snowy woods talking i didnt really understand it then but i do now wow thats a wonderful feeling to have someone love that much.
I was about 15 when this movie came out, then I met my first love.. I married him but ended in divorce. He’s still my first love & this movie tugs at my heartstrings ❤. This scene when she’s walking with her mom in the snowy woods… it makes me cry now because my mom passed away in 2015. The way she waves bye to her mom… really makes me cry. 😢
My grandmother always said I looked like her, maybe that was her way of telling me I was beautiful.Thanks Grandma, miss you. I do a little, just in that last scene maybe. I'm just a few years younger.
This movie is and will always remind me of the innocence of an endless love, the first and last, the love that years later, many years later one still remembers and don't forget....ever.
This movie has been called one of the worst ever? Anyone who thinks that has never been in love. It's an awesome story, awesome acting and a bittersweet ending.
.... Really? That disgusting man (the lead) tries to practically rape her in the end and force her to stay and begs her to stay with him... it's so gross and pathetic. Not to mention horrifying and DISGUSTING!! For some reason, Jade changes her mind after he tries to rape her, and says that she does love him after all. I am so grossed out by that disgusting man in the movie. EWWWW!!!!!!!
Well...my dude SNUCK IN MY GARAGE AND CAME IN BROKE MY KITCHEN TABLE bc i didnt text him for 10 days...he's now in jail. IF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA doesnt grant me restraining order...im not filing one.
Love can be obsessive, can be illusive & unexplainable.. as they say anything to do with love isn't easy but at the end its worth it, it's lovely... atleast experiencing tht someone can love u to this level..
Stumbled on this video purely by chance. I listen to soul music at night and Endless Love ( Luther and Maria version) and so i came to Utube to listen again and found this movie clip. I remember this so well ,watched it in a friends house a few doors down as they had a video player and we didnt. Can remember the feeling i had inside thinking as a young teenager that ' thats the kind of love i want' . My parents were of the time that they didnt show love to each other or to us kids . So when i started working at 16 when ieft school i met a guy who was 20 and that was the first time id experienced affection and so i was engaged at 17, mortgage at 18,married at 20 and 2 children by 26. .Marriage ended after 20 years together. I was still searchi g for that Endless Love and im 53 now and still its something that seems to have passed me by . I will stay alone in the hope that it hasnt and will still happen ❤
I belong to the generation Z, and when I had the chance to watch this film (I do already love vintage films) I cried a lot with this film, with this ending... Even my grandma (she didn't know this film) she told me "what a lovely ending" sorry Endless Love 2014.
God, I've felt love like this once. The burning constant moth to the flame insanity, of wanting to be with that other person that makes you beyond happy. Even now I am in perpetual need of him. It's crazy and there have been two films that showed that kind of love. Romeo and Juliet and Endless Love. Pessimist and cynical people may not believe in it or have been wronged by a wrong. But it does exist and I'll defend it and declare it in court and point to young people in love or those lucky enough to experience it later on. It's real. I'll never forget my one true love. The song at the end is perfect.
That’s so irritating and un- romantic. 🤣 although I must say I never watched this movie and found the trailer hilarious haha “she was 15 and he was 17..” sounds like underage se*
I, ve been trough.but in my late 50. I felt love that I never felt before. To me is such a mistery. Never taught I can love someone again. Years past by. But memories stay in my heart. 🧸
I think of my Mother and Father who were both WW2 US Army vets. They met and married after the war but I remember My Mom telling me that before she met my Dad, she had been in love with a soldier who had been killed in the war and never returned. I was one of my parents six children and even after they had been married for over 40 years, I always thought it was their faith that kept them together through many troubled times. Then came the internet. For some reason one day my Mom searched and found out that the soldier she once loved was not dead, but was very much alive. They reached out to one another and although so many years had gone by and both were married, they decided to meet. I never knew about the two rekindling their love for one another or that they carried on a long distance love affair for some time until both my Mom and Dad had passed away. My sister knew but had been sworn to secrecy. I now know why there was such a drastic change in my Mom as my parents grew older. Dad certainly had his faults and maybe even deserved some ill treatment, but when I witnessed my Mother's angry, cold-hearted and uncaring attitude towards him that I had never seen before, it was hard to take. At one point I remember her telling my Dad in detail she was in love with someone else, but I tried not to pay much attention to this. In the end I felt sorry for both of my parents. It was nearly unbearable to watch my Father in his declining years being stabbed in the heart as he felt the sting of rejection. But I also felt deep sadness for my Mother for being haunted by her first love, and that because of time and circumstances the two had missed out on a lifetime together. I personally know that there is no "cure" for an Endless love, nor can time ever heal a broken heart. I have my own memories and heartbreak from 40 years ago in 1981, but that is another story.
Thanks for sharing. I understand everything you said to the deepest level. We're all trapped in this life of uncertainties. Sending you love from a stranger James.
Well I am done. This is so true to have that type of love which is endless is a once in a life time shot for most of us. The acting was superb. What a beautiful couple. I love the way this movies ends. This movie leaves me in tears every time I watch it. Thank you for sharing !. I hope everyone finds their endless love. Happy New Years to you and yours!
This movie just gives me bad vibes all over. I was in an obsessive relationship like this with my prom date, years ago. And it did not end well. The first time I tried to break it off with him, after I began to realize that he was too unhinged, he threatened suicide, and he had a very clear plan on how he would do it. He also made it clear that he would make sure that his family would know it was because of me, and they would come after me. When we did finally end it, he called me non-stop, and after a few months passed and he seemed to calm down, I agreed to stay friends with him, at his request.. And that was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. When I did try to finally cut him off for good, he continued to call our house nonstop for the next 3 years. I changed my cellphone number, I blocked our landline from him multiple times.. Nothing worked. The problem with being young is that we become addicted to the idea of love, and for some people, that idealization goes way too far. I couldn’t see my other friends, I couldn’t go on vacation with family without him calling our hotel room nonstop.. And I foolishly thought THIS was love. Please teach your daughters to love themselves first. We tell boys that they can have all kinds of other hobbies, but we tell girls to just fantasize about boys and love, so much so that our radar doesn’t even work anymore when the first crazy psycho that wants to shower us with attention comes along. Love is a GREAT thing, don’t get me wrong, but when it isolates you and becomes self-serving.. That’s a problem.
"Once upon a time, there was this boy who lived across the street, near the park. He had sandy coloured hair and soft brown eyes. When he smiled, I smiled. When he cried, I cried. When I stepped back, he pulled me in. When I wasn't there, he came looking for me. Anything that ever happened to me BACK THEN. Anything that mattered. In some way, had to do with him." Malvern Pa 1975 "The winter's cold, but I'm so warm with you...."
I felt this way about my 1st love......32 yrs ago. Then she was gone. I haven’t been the same since.....nor have I ever felt about someone as I did her. I really don’t think I ever will again.......
@@fcktongispumpkin8943 Two times married. Nothing compared. I know this was unfair. Couldn't help it.😪 Since 15 years alone. Don't want anymore. Rather be alone.💔😏 😘😘😘
@@kaylee8229 💐Thank you. How sweet of you to say this. I'm very happy for you that you are reunited with your love. This is so amazing and exceptional. 💕
I was one of the lucky ones who watched Endless Love and The Blue Lagoon together as a double feature when double features were a thing at theaters back in the 80s. Back then I was in high school, and the girl I was so, so infatuated with reminded me so much like Brooke Shields. I was too shy to pursue her. The summer when Blue Lagoon was released, I was visiting Mexico staying at several beach communities. The white sand and turquoise water surrounded with palm trees made me feel I was there, where the movie was filmed. And yes, that summer, I got that deep dark tan I was never able to duplicate ever again.
I see why- she was rly hot. I just watched the blue lagoon and was searching for more stuff. Its kinda funny cause at that time she made that movies I wasnt even born
This is all about obsession, not love. It is because of movies like these that people grow up with the wrong idea of what true love is. Many families are broken because people were taught to believe that love is the cotton candy feeling.
@Eric Smith Maybe so. But if you've experienced it when you were young, it stays with you forever, even when mature love comes along later. It's just that sort of thing that sort of stays with you forever.
If anyone is interested, this was Tom Cruise, first movie he grew up here in Louisville Kentucky went to Saint Xavier high school, a decent Acker not a great win, his primary promise being a Scientologist.
The 80s was the best decade for music...period end of story
I absolutely agree.
God, I love eighties music.
She loved David. No question he loved her. Endless Love. Beautiful.
Yes she did...🥰
When the frame stops and she's looking up, she is actually look to see if she can see David. The ending is beautiful.
No he was obsessed that's not love. He most likely would have been abusive.
This movie was part of my high school years in the 80s...I miss those days..when you believed in love...we were young and care free and happy go lucky...innocent, believed the world was all good..it all seemed so much more simple back then yet we made more drama over the smallest things.. lol...the love letters that we actually wrote BY HAND to one another..the drawing of the hearts on someones school locker that we secretly liked... it was fun, so much fun :-)

Beautiful comment
This is one of the most underrated movies of all time. Absolutely love it!!!!! Watched it the first time as a teen
That last still camera shot to end the movie is a classic ending.
I definitely agree!!!!
What was she looking at?is David waiting for her?
So lovely ❤😢
Yes it is. Sometimes I play it over and over again. Very touching ending. ❣️
Who is watching in quarantine days?
How forget first love? It is impossible and we shouldn't, It makes so good for soul!
I lived it in 80s!!!
I don't understand why, but this movie has always been so powerful to me to the point where I have to emotionally prepare myself to watch it. This last scene is the best scene, and stirs up such emotion in me, I sobbed so much the first time I watched it.
Longing for everlasting love but deep inside we know it all ends with separation because of death.
I agree
I think First time I watched it was 1988 . I was so sad at end . I didn't understand why they called it endless love. I never watched again.
They don't make this kind of genuine movie anymore.
Nowadays, it's all fake and artificial.
Yes , me too, it's very emotionel ❤️❤️
Love is an obsession....in a way....those that experienced love to the greater degree know what I am talking about
Grief is the bill that comes due for love.
After 40yrs looking for my first love I finally found him! Thank you Lord amen 🙏 it was painful I still can feel the pain he gave me until now! But I love him.
Congratulations 👏
Congratulations, your comment gives me hope. I’m still looking for mine
Congrats still looking for mine

No Disrespect to the 2014 Endless Love. But To Me The 1981 Endless Love Was Better Because It Was More Passion... And That's Why The 80's Was So Awesome. PASSION... And The Music GREAT... !
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
U dam skippy it is, and the 80’s was powerful.
Fuck the TV-14 2016 version, long live the O.G TV-MA 1981 version
I agree
Oh please! Remakes always suck, originals are always the best.
The modern love story like The Romeo and Juliet.
What a beautiful movie and music.
🥺♥️ that's was my favourite scene. Nobody will Love me like that the way David did . She 💯 she will get love but they will never love they way he did . It's a once in a lifetime thing . The way he loved was rare . The way I see it it was his childhood wounds not getting the love from his parents . I relate too David .
Sim😢
I have this ending ingrained in my mind since then. Just everything came together perfectly.
The years of notes being passed in hallways. I remember the note my husband wrote asking me to go with him when I was in 7th grade. We wandered in and outta of each others lives for about 8yrs. Then on June 10th 1987 he showed up at the door with a rose. I had not talked to him for at least a year. Here we are 32yrs later. Husband & Wife, Mom & Dad and now Mammaw and Pappaw. He is my only true love. We couldn't help ourselves when young. We were always drawn toward each other.
🤮
@linzieloo1 No need to be rude. Don't like my post? Simple solution...don't read it.
Such a beautiful song . Brings tears to my eyes everytime . I am one of the lucky ones that have found true love and I am so grateful .
U r lucky
Ur very lucky Stay happy 40 years gone by no man has really loved me so I guess some of us are just not lucky
It’s all overrated once the passion dies it’s just repetitive
The best romantic movie ever. Brooke Shields and Martin Hewitt in a deep and sad love story.
😥😥😥😥😥
Two Young Lovebirds
Rocky was not a romantic movie, but it was the best love story. Best picture of the year...Oscars.
Love is such a paradox because when it ends it gives pain and sadness.
That’s real. That’s why I believe u only love God and urself. U care for people, but not to the point u can’t live without them. It shouldn’t be anything in this world we can’t walk away from in a heartbeat if necessary.
Love is a battlefield, but God is Love!
No one will ever love me like that, not like that, Not like David. Oh, The Heartbreak!
Met my endless love in 1977 when we where 15 separated just after this came out the cynicals will say it does not exist at such a young age but I can assure you it does took me one failed marriage and twenty years to find someone to love like that again I still think of her now and that was 36yrs ago we recently became friends on Facebook so it's gone someway to healing the wounds but when I hear this song it brings it all back again
mark thomas I met my wife when we were 14, and we are 25 and married now. She’s incredible. It does indeed exist, my friend.
And I certainly will never forget my endless love, Tonia and 1985/86. Just as in this movie it was only a fleeting moment in time......and then I hurt for months just like David did in the movie. But, at least for a moment in time it was nice.
How did u meet?
We met in high school
John Wise I don’t know how to talk to girls lol
I’ll never forget the tag line for this movie:
She’s 15. He’s 17. The love every parent fears.
True love that no force in this miserable world or in the universe can break it. Their love is written for the eternity.
I had one Love in my life where i felt this intense love but now he is gone and has been for awhile but my hearts still aches...i am the fool because i will always love him until i take my last breath.
Your not a fool your being true to yourself and the love you felt.
I understand how you feel I had it to then he died and breaks my heart everyday
I just love this movie and song. The movie grasps the story of that one true love. That first love. That endless love that you will never forget. 😘💕
This movie reminds you it is not healthy to be obsessed.
Heard the book ends with them separated for good. He gets released and sleeps with women (maybe moves on), and the girl gets married.
Frank Conley u get hooked on the sex it drives u crazy n u dnt settle until u get the plug in the socket
Yes, you are right.
@@HenshinHeroesMedia he does not move on. In the end, he's living with another woman, but says that he still sees Jade's face wherever he goes.
Finally someone who understands!!!! Everyone else in the comments is like, "Oh my God best movie ever!!!!" EwwwwwwWWWWWW!!!!!!!
I met my first love on the schoolyard at age 16. We were together for a few years then broke up. He moved out of state. He came back to me after a 20 year failed marriage. I had wondered about him after all those years. Our second time around onky lasted 5 years. I felt He came back for the young girl he left but he found a 36 year old woman. I wish I left him in the past. Him and the memory were much better. He cake into my life mourning his failed marriage. I received him into my life believing I would have happily ever after. His leaving me caused me so much more damage I still have not fully recovered and we broke up the second time in 2003. Whej someone tells you for 5 years that they will grow old with you, it's kind of like being brainwashed. You believe it. Sometimes it's not good to return.
I'm sorry to hear that, thanks for the advice you are right
@@user-wm9fd6sv9j you're welcome. I hope you find the one who can't live without you.
@@user-wm9fd6sv9j thank you. I hope you find your true love, the one who can't live without you.
My all time favorite ending of a movie!!! They captured her beauty so beautifully!!!
The film I watched the night I got home from my first date with my husband of thirty years. My soulmate 💗💗
why I feel very sad after watching this movie.. felt like I'm David who had found his true love but lot of barriers ahead.. Truly Sad Ending ever.. 😭😭😭
@Jay Bee yes.. the pain of eternal love.. I can feel how much pain inside David & Jade's heart.
I miss Blockbuster Video. I wish I could rent this in the VHS Format. This looks like a very beautiful film by Franco Zeffirelli. Typed Feb. 11, 2021
Wonderful movie... and i believe she is coming to see him... and they will be together again ❤❤❤❤❤
l agree. She was coming to see him! They still loved each other very much
4 years later, still love this film❤❤❤
The ending of this movie: Is she really coming back to see him or is he imagining it? I really think people should read the novel Endless Love that the movie is based upon. It's way more detailed about their relationship but the ending isn't that happy...it's peacefully resolved in an un-resolving and sad way. I don't think anyone forgets their first love, and if it didn't turn out well, I will warn you that reading that book won't be enjoyable, but it's necessary! I read the book once and it made me so angry...it triggered a lot of the pain over my own situation. Sometimes in life, the only way you can go on is by closing the door to a part of your past unless somehow it can be resolved and healed. For me, I've written/journaled, prayed, tried to learn the lessons of my debacle ad nausem, and yet, all it takes is a clip like the one above to open the wound.
It's up for imagination unless Franco Zeffirelli, the director, said it wasn't. What was his point of view? For me, I don't think it was she seemed older and not some high school girl fantasy.
Anyway
Watched it as a kid back in the nineties and threw up as soon as it ended, haha. I remember feeling so bad and only now I know they were triggers cause I've just watched this and threw up again.
Ah fascinating our minds eh
@E Smidt SPOILER: The book and movie have different endings and different things happen. In the book, David is retelling the whole story, and they are not together anymore. I suggest reading the book.
It’s purposely ambiguous. Despite EVERYTHING that happened, both of them still love each other very much, but will they get back together??? -- In that way, this ending honors the essence of the book. -- In the scene w/ Brooke Shields & Mom, she’s younger. / In the scene w/ Martin Hewitt, some years have passed. So if Brooke is coming to see Hewitt, it took her some years to work through her own mentality. And during all those years, Hewitt is still longing & thinking of Brooke Shields. -- Again, while it is different from the book, it still very much honors the message of what the book is trying to say (even if the rest of the film doesn’t, book is a masterpiece btw).
It feels pain to think about first love.
I cry most of the time. But i think this is life and life goes like this.
Life is heaven for someone and hell for others 🥲
Thank you for being vulnerable and telling part of your story. Life, especially life today in 2023, is hard as hell. No one gets through unscathed. That said, we can walk in an attitude of joy despite the hardships. Joy is always an inward process. We can experience joy even through the darkest of circumstances. That, however, takes cultivation of our inner world. I wish you joy in this realm and any other that you experience!
Amazing film - I was 20/21yrs when I first saw it at Cinema with my girlfriend we were both obsessed with each other at the time and I think the film could have left Subconsciously - emotional scars down the road of life - as not too long after we had a harsh emotional break up - being young and naive you never know till it happens how emotional painful it is, to part ways with true love - and in retrospect it’s the cliche of being stronger for experience!!! Do we ever totally compensate???? As alas such experiences makes you wary from then on for ever and a day to be totally committed to love in reckless abandonment - this film encapsulates these emotions to a Tee !!!
Crying in 2017?
I am... Man. That final six minutes is just too much
Gets me ever time the remake doesnt come close to this
Crying in 4.2019
As soon as it begins the years come but friends who haven't seen it don't get it. I get it xx

I rember seeing this movie when i was in junior high school i have always loved this scene wnen she and her mom are walking through the snowy woods talking i didnt really understand it then but i do now wow thats a wonderful feeling to have someone love that much.
4029 @ yeah mom..its moms love😢
facts...love this movie
I was about 15 when this movie came out, then I met my first love.. I married him but ended in divorce. He’s still my first love & this movie tugs at my heartstrings ❤. This scene when she’s walking with her mom in the snowy woods… it makes me cry now because my mom passed away in 2015. The way she waves bye to her mom… really makes me cry. 😢
My grandmother always said I looked like her, maybe that was her way of telling me I was beautiful.Thanks Grandma, miss you. I do a little, just in that last scene maybe. I'm just a few years younger.
without even ever getting a glance at you...will you marry me? =)
You must be georgous.
Pics or it didn’t happen
“What is straight? A line can be straight, or a street, but the human heart, oh, no, it's curved like a road through mountains.”―Tennessee Williams.
Tennessee is my favorite playwright.
This movie is and will always remind me of the innocence of an endless love, the first and last, the love that years later, many years later one still remembers and don't forget....ever.
This movie has been called one of the worst ever? Anyone who thinks that has never been in love. It's an awesome story, awesome acting and a bittersweet ending.
.... Really? That disgusting man (the lead) tries to practically rape her in the end and force her to stay and begs her to stay with him... it's so gross and pathetic. Not to mention horrifying and DISGUSTING!! For some reason, Jade changes her mind after he tries to rape her, and says that she does love him after all. I am so grossed out by that disgusting man in the movie. EWWWW!!!!!!!
Maybe just cause he burned her house down separated her parents killed her dad other than that it’s lovely
You call that bittersweet? I call that very depressing.
Yep we all when on crime sprees when in love
Because it’s based on a book and it apparently deviated severely from it.
No one will ever love me like that… I was once like David! Never felt love like that again… I’m an old man looking back at my life,…
Well...my dude SNUCK IN MY GARAGE AND CAME IN BROKE MY KITCHEN TABLE bc i didnt text him for 10 days...he's now in jail. IF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA doesnt grant me restraining order...im not filing one.
Love can be obsessive, can be illusive & unexplainable.. as they say anything to do with love isn't easy but at the end its worth it, it's lovely... atleast experiencing tht someone can love u to this level..
Stumbled on this video purely by chance. I listen to soul music at night and Endless Love ( Luther and Maria version) and so i came to Utube to listen again and found this movie clip.
I remember this so well ,watched it in a friends house a few doors down as they had a video player and we didnt. Can remember the feeling i had inside thinking as a young teenager that ' thats the kind of love i want' . My parents were of the time that they didnt show love to each other or to us kids .
So when i started working at 16 when ieft school i met a guy who was 20 and that was the first time id experienced affection and so i was engaged at 17, mortgage at 18,married at 20 and 2 children by 26. .Marriage ended after 20 years together. I was still searchi g for that Endless Love and im 53 now and still its something that seems to have passed me by . I will stay alone in the hope that it hasnt and will still happen ❤
Something's never need to be touched, and this is one of them. absolutely one of my all-time favorite.
I belong to the generation Z, and when I had the chance to watch this film (I do already love vintage films) I cried a lot with this film, with this ending... Even my grandma (she didn't know this film) she told me "what a lovely ending" sorry Endless Love 2014.
despite receiving many criticisms, the film shows how a passion can become a big emotional problem! It's all or nothing
God, I've felt love like this once. The burning constant moth to the flame insanity, of wanting to be with that other person that makes you beyond happy. Even now I am in perpetual need of him. It's crazy and there have been two films that showed that kind of love. Romeo and Juliet and Endless Love. Pessimist and cynical people may not believe in it or have been wronged by a wrong. But it does exist and I'll defend it and declare it in court and point to young people in love or those lucky enough to experience it later on. It's real. I'll never forget my one true love. The song at the end is perfect.
Yes. It exists. X
Both beauty and agony in it. And we would do it all over again and again x
totally, agree, Never forgot him, even though it could never be. No regrets.
Yes... I was like that.. My first love..about 15 we were together 3 years And I fell in love like that again when I was 45....i was very lucky....
This kind of love does exist. I was 16 when I met my angel and 36 years later she has never left my sight...
I have to believe she's going to see him. It breaks me every time I watch it xx so sad
How do yakk know she didn't see him and it was just his imagination
i was 15 when i saw this movie at AL-mansour cinema in Baghdad i cried a lot ...it is very good movie
Kills me every time. I just cry when I see that lol
2019. April. Still crying. I am Real Romantist
Me too.
Brooke shields plays the most unique and vintage characters every movie her looks just leave the audience speehless
I was 14 and it's clearly one of the most romantic.
“No one will ever love me like that”. Yeah, because he is freakin crazy. Don’t worry though, he will find you when he gets out.

Extraordinary comment
Underrated comment
Awesome comment...love it !!
That’s so irritating and un- romantic. 🤣 although I must say I never watched this movie and found the trailer hilarious haha “she was 15 and he was 17..” sounds like underage se*
I'll love my man David till the day I die.
I, ve been trough.but in my late 50. I felt love that I never felt before. To me is such a mistery. Never taught I can love someone again. Years past by. But memories stay in my heart. 🧸
I think of my Mother and Father who were both WW2 US Army vets. They met and married after the war but I remember My Mom telling me that before she met my Dad, she had been in love with a soldier who had been killed in the war and never returned. I was one of my parents six children and even after they had been married for over 40 years, I always thought it was their faith that kept them together through many troubled times.
Then came the internet. For some reason one day my Mom searched and found out that the soldier she once loved was not dead, but was very much alive. They reached out to one another and although so many years had gone by and both were married, they decided to meet. I never knew about the two rekindling their love for one another or that they carried on a long distance love affair for some time until both my Mom and Dad had passed away. My sister knew but had been sworn to secrecy. I now know why there was such a drastic change in my Mom as my parents grew older. Dad certainly had his faults and maybe even deserved some ill treatment, but when I witnessed my Mother's angry, cold-hearted and uncaring attitude towards him that I had never seen before, it was hard to take. At one point I remember her telling my Dad in detail she was in love with someone else, but I tried not to pay much attention to this.
In the end I felt sorry for both of my parents. It was nearly unbearable to watch my Father in his declining years being stabbed in the heart as he felt the sting of rejection. But I also felt deep sadness for my Mother for being haunted by her first love, and that because of time and circumstances the two had missed out on a lifetime together. I personally know that there is no "cure" for an Endless love, nor can time ever heal a broken heart. I have my own memories and heartbreak from 40 years ago in 1981, but that is another story.
Thanks for sharing. I understand everything you said to the deepest level. We're all trapped in this life of uncertainties. Sending you love from a stranger James.
1981?
@@mE-zx7pt Yes. The title of this youtube video says 1981.
Well I am done. This is so true to have that type of love which is endless is a once in a life time shot for most of us. The acting was superb. What a beautiful couple. I love the way this movies ends. This movie leaves me in tears every time I watch it. Thank you for sharing !. I hope everyone finds their endless love. Happy New Years to you and yours!
bellisima brooke hasta ahora no hay quien la supere. y q bella musica.
This is true.,what people go through, in endless Love,You love someone, despite,how different they are, compared to you.
This movie just gives me bad vibes all over. I was in an obsessive relationship like this with my prom date, years ago. And it did not end well.
The first time I tried to break it off with him, after I began to realize that he was too unhinged, he threatened suicide, and he had a very clear plan on how he would do it. He also made it clear that he would make sure that his family would know it was because of me, and they would come after me.
When we did finally end it, he called me non-stop, and after a few months passed and he seemed to calm down, I agreed to stay friends with him, at his request.. And that was one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
When I did try to finally cut him off for good, he continued to call our house nonstop for the next 3 years. I changed my cellphone number, I blocked our landline from him multiple times.. Nothing worked.
The problem with being young is that we become addicted to the idea of love, and for some people, that idealization goes way too far. I couldn’t see my other friends, I couldn’t go on vacation with family without him calling our hotel room nonstop.. And I foolishly thought THIS was love.
Please teach your daughters to love themselves first. We tell boys that they can have all kinds of other hobbies, but we tell girls to just fantasize about boys and love, so much so that our radar doesn’t even work anymore when the first crazy psycho that wants to shower us with attention comes along.
Love is a GREAT thing, don’t get me wrong, but when it isolates you and becomes self-serving.. That’s a problem.
This was the other kind of obsession. Although it did take a wrong turn; it wasn't abusive,
You didn’t love him
@@JohnDoe-rk9bx love and control don’t mix. So no, love was not present in my situation.
bla bla bla not everyone is you
There are so many precious things in life that will change your heart and add to it.❤❤❤
"Once upon a time, there was this boy who lived across the street, near the park. He had sandy coloured hair and soft brown eyes. When he smiled, I smiled. When he cried, I cried. When I stepped back, he pulled me in. When I wasn't there, he came looking for me. Anything that ever happened to me BACK THEN. Anything that mattered. In some way, had to do with him." Malvern Pa 1975 "The winter's cold, but I'm so warm with you...."
Weirdly enough, this song is worth it for the "In your eyes" line. As in, how it is sung.
I felt this way about my 1st love......32 yrs ago. Then she was gone.
I haven’t been the same since.....nor have I ever felt about someone as I did her. I really don’t think I ever will again.......
I know what you mean. I'm waiting since 36 years for the love of my life to come back. But it will remain a dream.
stay present. you should love your present one the most

Brooke shields was my first crush, I remember being 8yrs old and thinking she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen
You're not only one buddy
I thank the God of Abraham, Issac, Jacob to place me here when this movie came out I became a teenager 80"s was magical. AMEN 🙏
I was one of the lucky ones who watched Endless Love and The Blue Lagoon together as a double feature when double features were a thing at theaters back in the 80s.
Back then I was in high school, and the girl I was so, so infatuated with reminded me so much like Brooke Shields. I was too shy to pursue her.
The summer when Blue Lagoon was released, I was visiting Mexico staying at several beach communities. The white sand and turquoise water surrounded with palm trees made me feel I was there, where the movie was filmed.
And yes, that summer, I got that deep dark tan I was never able to duplicate ever again.
She was perfect!!!!!
Unforgettable, evergreen track .loved and enjoyed.
I LOVE THIS STORY......
I watched this movie when I was a little girl. It's beautiful and very crazy.
RIP Shirley Knight 🕊🌹 2:06
agreed
The whole movie about nothing but obsession not love.
The way David looks at Jade..I've had that once and have spent a lifetime looking for it again.
The kiss of my Love has remained with me for so many years now...
Brooke was sooooo sweet!! 💚
This is my baby’s movie my first love I will never forget her until death do us part ❤
The movie is so memorable for me My hubby n I watched it so many times n we just love it so much ❤
God Loves us even More💖🌈💞
This movie came out 3 years before I met my First Love in 1984. 39 years later she is 56 and I am 60 and she is still my first love.
i had such a crush on brooke when i was a kid, she was smokin
I see why- she was rly hot. I just watched the blue lagoon and was searching for more stuff. Its kinda funny cause at that time she made that movies I wasnt even born
She is going to wait for him because she loves him
Cathy Chisholm that’s not how the original ending of the novel was written.
rayva1 how was it written?
I read that in the move her mother gave her approval of David. So they did wind up back together.
Cathy Chisholm I'm doing the same for my Husband.,that has mental illis
Love is a powerful thing, it's an endless emotion.
That's was my favorite movie ever.. Love you sweetheart 👈🖤🖤💚🏏👍🇵🇰🤗
Never saw the film the cant remember where l was.
Brook Shields is such a beautiful woman.
You will always be loved like that.. the beauty of ot all. Breathless I am.. ever frickin time I come back to watch this film
This is all about obsession, not love. It is because of movies like these that people grow up with the wrong idea of what true love is. Many families are broken because people were taught to believe that love is the cotton candy feeling.
What you just said isn't necessarily what dreams are made of, i.e. first love infatuation, but realistically TRUE. Thanks for being candid about it.
Ya I know you are right, but god this is just a movie can we have a fantasy once in a while. This is my favourite chick flick movie.
@Eric Smith Maybe so. But if you've experienced it when you were young, it stays with you forever, even when mature love comes along later. It's just that sort of thing that sort of stays with you forever.
God, Brooke & that song 🎵 made this movie so unforgettable! 💔
It shows that you love someone,you want to be them..it's hard it's a lot of greif love is that way.
Anyone who loves this movie, I love you.❤️❤️
I love this movie. Sending you love too
If anyone is interested, this was Tom Cruise, first movie he grew up here in Louisville Kentucky went to Saint Xavier high school, a decent Acker not a great win, his primary promise being a Scientologist.
Unlike the novel this allows for the possibility they got back together.
Of course, it may just be David fantasising.
Diana Ross with Lionel Richie Endless Love in 1981, it spent 9 weeks at number 1
I remember that.
Unprecedented song !
Donald Mak vcczz
Maybe the greatest love song ever!
It has been voted as the best duet ever recorded.
This movie is about obsession and nothing else. It’s not about love. Loves when you care more for the other persons welfare then you’re own!
And there she goes... again.
Goodbye my endless love.
Gerardo Herrera u will be my endless love RIP ❤😥💔🙏🏽
