I LOVE THIS scene I'm crying it's amazing how this movie touches my heart even after all these years! I believe Barbra was about 29 when she did the film no matter what anyone may say Streisand is and was beautiful.
. . . So much of this film , story, it's ... ' look' and , of course , the music are because of Sydney Pollack and such a stellar cast . Unmatched , 'Jacqueline' . Just wondering , were you previously ' t h a t ' ... ' Jacqueline C. ' from the far north that I used to know ? ... it's a long shot , I know . . .
Same here, and it is an intersting thing in life that the easy living cool boys by saying “Things are too serious to take them serious” are ultimately loosing in the end, as it happens to Hubbell Gardiner. That happenend to me too in a similar relationship
@@universehasourback He finally had to face the fact that although she loved him, she ultimately loved herself more. And that’s the way it should be. She wasn’t able to surrender that part of herself that cared about social causes. He accepted her for who she was and loved her enough to let her go.
I liked Love Story better. The reason is because in that story Oliver and Jenny were a better-matched couple. Although they came from different walks of life, intellectually they shared some interests and values. In The Way We We’re, we are supposed to feel sad that Katie and Hubble broke up. However, there were plenty of signs right from the beginning that they were not right for each other. Oliver and Jenny were, and they could have had a long and happy life together if her disease had not cut her life short.
Thank you for this, I think it's the best scene in the movie "You'll never find anyone as good for you as I am, to believe in you as much as I do, or love you as much as I do "
Love is simply not enough. I feel they both loved each other but they were total opposites . It’s been proven that whatever extreme opposite attracts one is the exact same thing that will drive you away. He knew it wouldn’t work out but there was chemistry and she convinced him of it. I also believe they both ‘settled’ for another spouse at the end. The last scene tells it all, the sparks were still there but Hubble was content in his comfort zone, and continued as always, never staying loyal to anyone, even his new wife. He admitted he had never been a GOOD gentile boy. In general, people do not change , the best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour., unless there’s been a major shift in consciousness.
mona2242 wow. well said. I believe in major shifts in consciousness if a person is open to change. But sadly I think few are. It can open up whole new worlds and parts of yourself. No, Hubble was the one and he was INDEED like the country he grew up in---everything came too easily for him, and for him that was enough AND yet, the really sad part is Hubble will never know what he missed bc he couldn't get out of his comfort zone. He was a big fish in a big pond and he missed the love of his love. He was afraid to give all that up. And it is a hard ask. Still, he should have done it. Good point about him never being loyal to anyone, not even himself. IF he was he would have changed after he wrote that great short story in college which seemed to reveal his true self and a great deal of self-awareness which instantly disappeared in the movie. Still a great film...even for men.
Reminds me of one of my relationships. When someone wants to change you and improve you in an overbearing way it never works out, but this is a kind of paradox in relationships. The other extreme, a person who completely accepts you for what you are, brings dullness to your life.
My ex wife was a lot like this woman, always pushing, but she was very smart. I never thought of it the other way around, and maybe I did become boring. Thanks for sharing this thought, you have really made me think.
andrew great point up until now I always thought she loved him more than he loved her but now I see she WAS too pushy. If she was always overbearing she didn't accept him for who he was. And he didn't either. I think they both tried. It's a great love story. I still think they fascinated each other. They should have stayed friends and he could see his daughter.
Some people may be attracted to each other but they cannot stay together for a long time because they are very different. And if so, some people are wise to focus on what they liked about each other. That is how I understand this movie. Some men just cannot handle when a woman is to demanding, is pushing hard, they feel they do not have their own space. So, if you care for someone try to understand him and see how you two fit together because Mr. Darcy is only in Jane Austin's dreams, I think.
Well yeah, otherwise, He wouldn't have said she didn't have the right style for him, or that whatever was wrong in their marriage wasn't another woman or the affair, he loved her but not as much as she loved him, and she was hurting both herself and him by chasing him, that's what he was trying to get across here.
To me it seems more like both of them love only a part of one another. I mean, he doesn't like that she pushes too hard, even if it's part of her and, on the other hand, she doesn't like that he wants a concrete, serene living, without getting involved in sociale matters. I think the point is that they are both sincerely in love and they can't help it, but they are just too different. Point is she is a bold type and wants to live the story all the same, as she is convinced things can get better, while he is some sort of coward, who just accepts the reality as it is. In fact, in the end, he just seems frustrated of having renounced to her, while she appears to be more serene, just for having tried.
I wouldn't say that i believe he did love her but they were just too different in every way she took things heavy he wanted her to take things more lightly but she was way to opinionated on every little subject he tells her not everything is happening personally only to you when F.D R died 💔
This scene always gets me and explains so many relationships. BS: "I'm not the right style, am I, for you?" RR: "No." So telling. Such an interesting story I think many of us have been through with Beekman Street people v this odd couple.
@@cynthiagoldstein1133 She knows she is attractive bc she has a lot of self confidence but there is also a part of her who knows she never fit in and her quiet speech is one of my favorite parts of the film and explains it all. "I am not your style, am I?" No he says. Sometimes love is not enough.
@@jschuler53it seems to me that there is a message in the movie that she was raised with the belief that Jewish women were not considered as attractive as Gentile women, and she felt she had to fight against that stereotype.
@@nancyhey1012 I agree. She was not the "lovely girl" with the straight hair who was more his "style". That is the part that always got me in the film, when she asks him and he says yes you're not my style. Heartbreak. I think it's amazing we're still debating a fictitious love story. The film was so great. I can relate to it.
Story of so many women - they fall for handsome but beyond superficial man who than convince them they are not good enough and that they expect too much... She was way too much for him, and she didn't even realize it.
If that is what you get out of this, you are a moron, and you totally missed the point. But you did not see the movie, did you? Thank God, you are not a real woman, but just a pathetic feminist who cannot be taken seriously.
Ivana Vujanovic; So true. Many women undervalue themselves eo they can win the love ot someone unworthy of them. Sadly t's still the case today in 2019.
Great scene but so was the one that followed, with Hubble and JJ on that sailboat. I remember how poignant their conversation was: best friends from college reminiscing about the best years of their lives. I wish someone would upload that scene too.
It makes me wanna cry!! I feel this, too and sometimes I’m too emotional and when I’m at work… :) see what I mean? I love this movie, but it makes me upset too 😂
She chased him. Period...That never works & she was pushy and didn't allow him to be who he was, but who SHE wanted him to be....If she really loved him, she would have been quiet and respected him the way he was....but she never did.
I just watched their interview in Oprah and it was nice to see them together again. I love Barbra Streisand and one of my dream is to see her in a movie with Kevin Costner BUT IT NEVER HAPPEN.
The love was there... so why didn't it work? Style? Two different worlds? He was a cheat! JJ didn't seem to mind that he slept with his wife (?). She did swing back and forth between the two of them... so... He doesn't even know his daughter. Didn't even try. He tried to leave her but she begged and held on...maybe too long. I've been watching this movie since 'Carrie' mentioned it on SaTC. Loved it ever since. I see it differently as I get older.
I agree he abandoned his child he wasn't a nice guy he was narcissistic the only thing Katie could see was a good looking man she tried to make them into something that he wasn't and like a narcissist he fed on the attention
@@moonbay2399 That's true. I love Robert Redford as an actor, and he is certainly very handsome, but there were a lot of things that I could not relate to about the Hubbell character, such as his abandonment of his daughter, sleeping with his best friend's wife, and also the fact that he would not defend Katie and her friends when they were being harassed by HUAC.
I don’t think it was a ‘good’ vs ‘evil’ dynamic that broke them up; rather, it was Hubbell’s complacency, his preference for wanting to live an easy, unexamined life against Katie’s desire for social justice during a volatile time that doomed the relationship. Fate had blessed him with everything on a silver platter: WASP background, good looks, intelligence, literary talent. He was smart enough to know how incredibly lucky he was and didn’t want to rock the boat. All he needed was a docile trophy wife and his life would be set. But fate had a sense of humor and sent him Katie instead, and he fell head over heels in love. She wasn’t part of the plan. Rationally, he knew it wouldn’t work even before they married, but love won out. Hubbell was committed to Katie throughout their marriage but the country’s political unrest, and their opposing reactions to it, did them in. Hubbell by nature wasn’t a cheater; cheating was a way for him to FINALLY make Katie leave him, because she would have fought for their marriage to the death. She was that tenacious about the people and causes she loved. He had to do something so irredeemable in her eyes that she would finally give up, so he chose JJ’s wife. When Katie asks him in the screening room, “Did you have to go back to Beeckman Place?” it represented her deepest insecurities with JJ’s crowd, who always made her feel like an outcast. Lastly, I think he gave up his daughter not because he was a deadbeat dad, but because it was just too painful for both of them to co-parent if they couldn’t be together. They still loved each other too much, but Katie finally understood, like Hubbell, that they should not be together. It’s no excuse, just a theory...
I get it. I’m a raging conservative and was in love with a liberal commie. He knew it could never work and always pushed me away. I wish I could see him again.

To me, at the time, Barbara was really in love with Robert Redford. The way she looks at him. Her eyes says it all. Especially in the scene frame 2:26 to 2:42.
Totally. She still is today, 2019. He barely cope with her. He really does not like her a bit. And it's very clear in all the interviews when they are together. He tries to be polite and she's super touchy, all over him
@@middaysun3553 They've only done one interview together. In fact they laughed about that. He asked her to present his honorary Oscar, so I doubt you're correct.
All life Barbara has had roles where she had to say that she was unattractive--all that talent and still the only thing that matters is what others consider beautiful…sad world.
i don't think they failed because they were different; they failed because she was domineering and pushy. Just because you love somebody, that does Not give you the right to Control their lives. Loving someone means letting them work things out for themselves, and not to keep pushing your ideas on them....
I think she also should have found someone else who was closer to her own political views, who shared her values and her passions. All they had going for them from the beginning was physical attraction and chemistry, but it didn’t mean they were compatible. I think it just shows that chemistry is not enough to build a lasting relationship if there are no shared interests and values.
They were so beautiful together, but neither one wanted to change. Their thoughts & ideas about life were too different. I know they both loved each other but that was not enough. In the end they both walked away.
I think a lot of times in real life, opposites do attract, but it often doesn’t go beyond just an initial attraction. It can’t make a long term relationship last, especially if the differences are about things like politics or religion, which are things that people take very seriously and emotionally. In my opinion, Katie and Hubble both tried to change each other to fit into their own world view, and that didn’t work.
i can understand that he wants happieness in his life. but he is shallow. she can not change for him that is not good. but he good have listen more to her but he didnt. sad. but a great movie and the voice and music. oh so good.
¡ Hermosa pero creo que toda persona debe mantener un mínimo de amor propio , abrir las manos y dejar que la avecilla vuele , si vuela y vuelve es tuyo , si no vuelve ,dejalo ir , nunca fue tuyo .
I always thought that...never stylish and good looking like his female friends...they are gone now, still have my husband and my boys...he doesn't talk to them...13 years together
@@abbatrouble so true! When I was a kid and saw this movie, I thought she was just enthusiastic and passionate. As an adult woman, I cringe at how she was acting. They both had their serious character flaws. However, at least she was faithful to him and always wanted him to be the best that he could be, despite her own wants and needs. Can't say that he took the initiative for her in that way, however.
Hubble had everything. Looks and money. He does not understand fighting and protesting. He wants to look good and be rich. He may be shallow but he can afford to be. Lol. The lady wanted him to be something that he could not be. She was desperate for his love but annoying by trying to change him. She knew who he was when she met him. That is all he can be. She is a pretty woman and does not have to beg a man to love her. That annoyed me about this movie. Her low self esteem. A lot of her movies cast her as a desperate ugly woman. I don’t like it. She deserves better than that. She directs movies just like the men.
Its strange that we only see what we want in those we love. he even tells her i was never who you made me out to b. i know a little about that myself quiet alot actually allways looking for the good in people and only every finding the bad after i was a fool a joke and everyone knew except me i was always the last to know
Luigi Nannetti, please place the title in capitals for the first letters of words and place a quotation around the title. Please. . . She begged here, she should have never begged, right?
Well this clip just come up as a sync, and Im thinking 'shit this is me and my twin' because he, an incredibly gorgeous older consultant doctor where I worked as a nursing assistant, he would stare at me, flirt with me, come up to my ward just to see me, but in the end chose to stay with his air hostess GF whilst I, a lil bit wilder and spiritual wasnt chosen. He also had some harem of cluckers around him, they adored him but hated me and I dont do harems ;) I always said I just wasnt beautiful enough 'for him' but I am my own kind of beautiful'. I then left our work without saying goodbye and hit travelling on the road nearly 2 years ago, but he still keeps showing up in syncs and dreams. He made his choice, I made mine....I am worth more and I could never trust him again even though we werent together. When this happens with a twin, you wish they werent your twin...all hope goes, all desire for life goes. As much as I live my life, I long to leave this plane. And even in death, I wish I could be not a twin.
Gracias a Dios se separaron, al pobre hombre lo estaba volviendo loco o violento. Di un sobresalto o susto cuando golpeó la pared, en cambio la mujer de la película se rió
I am in a quiz to win a prize and the question is :How many different (in terms of time) encounters did our hero and heroine have in the original film? Does anyone know the answer to this question. Thank you!
If my husband turns out to be like this....he can pack his bags n go to hell...this movie alwz scares me to shit of what marriage n husbands can be like

Some people may be attracted to each other but they cannot stay together for a long time because they are very different. And if so, some people are wise to focus on what they liked about each other.

That pretty much summed up his main problem with their relationship, that she expected too much out of him.
She's annoying!!!
he was lazy and settled for empty lifestyle
@@undercoverhamster2549 that too
missthunderstormable True, he was kind of a male “bimbo”, just relying on his good looks to get him by, but not much substance in his personality.
I get it. I’m a raging conservative and was in love with a liberal commie. He knew it could never work and always pushed me away. I wish I could see him again.
I know how you feel. Things are never quite the same again.

Streisand eine Göttin gesandt auf Erden um uns mit ihre himmlischen stimme zu bezaubern.
Qué hombre más lindo, peto que nunca le dio importancia, fue un excelente actor y ahora director.
Arguing without cursing is an art
Great movie❤
Great song!!!
Sou apaixonada por esse filme e seus atores.
To me, at the time, Barbara was really in love with Robert Redford. The way she looks at him. Her eyes says it all. Especially in the scene frame 2:26 to 2:42.
Totally. She still is today, 2019. He barely cope with her. He really does not like her a bit. And it's very clear in all the interviews when they are together. He tries to be polite and she's super touchy, all over him
@@middaysun3553 They've only done one interview together. In fact they laughed about that. He asked her to present his honorary Oscar, so I doubt you're correct.
@@middaysun3553 No he had said after the movie how much he thought of her.A lot!
She had a crush on him when making the film. Official! (and who wouldn't!).
Yes she was....
Wunderschöner Liebesfilm,muss immer Weinen.Liebe kann so weh tun.💕
Why does this scene always makes me wanna cry
This scene makes me cry. They are perfect for each other. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes he is a beautiful man and I'm not even into blonds. I know how Barbara feels in this dialogue.
I push too hard too...not going to stop either.
Oh I love this flims❤ greatest love story ever with 2 of the best actors.
She didn't fit in with his country club friends and he was self conscious about it. Basically she was an embarrassment to him.
Masterpiece
Amazing xx
All life Barbara has had roles where she had to say that she was unattractive--all that talent and still the only thing that matters is what others consider beautiful…sad world.
I don't believe that was the case in this movie. She was obnoxiously pushy, that was the problem. She would have grinded on my nerves, too.
"He's just not that into you".... 😞 😞
I don’t think it’s romantic; I think it’s abuse.
fave scene of one of my fave movies
i don't think they failed because they were different; they failed because she was domineering and pushy. Just because you love somebody, that does Not give you the right to Control their lives. Loving someone means letting them work things out for themselves, and not to keep pushing your ideas on them....
I think she also should have found someone else who was closer to her own political views, who shared her values and her passions. All they had going for them from the beginning was physical attraction and chemistry, but it didn’t mean they were compatible. I think it just shows that chemistry is not enough to build a lasting relationship if there are no shared interests and values.
Любимый фильм ! С чудесной музыкой!
They were so beautiful together, but neither one wanted to change. Their thoughts & ideas about life were too different. I know they both loved each other but that was not enough. In the end they both walked away.
I think a lot of times in real life, opposites do attract, but it often doesn’t go beyond just an initial attraction. It can’t make a long term relationship last, especially if the differences are about things like politics or religion, which are things that people take very seriously and emotionally. In my opinion, Katie and Hubble both tried to change each other to fit into their own world view, and that didn’t work.
Robert Redford yum
UM FILME INESQUECIVEL. A MUSICA , O ROMANCE , REDFORD E BARBRA, MUITO LINDO!!
I agree ☝️ sucks time goes by so guickly ... I bet we all know what the way we were !

¡ Hermosa pero creo que toda persona debe mantener un mínimo de amor propio , abrir las manos y dejar que la avecilla vuele , si vuela y vuelve es tuyo , si no vuelve ,dejalo ir , nunca fue tuyo .
バーブラが一度も日本を訪れなかったことがとても残念でした。 日本には もの凄い数のバーブラ ファンが待ち焦がれていたのに悲しいです。
バーブラストライサンドが、来日して、ない事は、残念ですが、バーブラストライサンド側と、日本の、招聘元と、条件が、折り合わなかったと、しか、思えません。
Desejo assistir este filme completo dublado português do Brasil não encontro por favor alguém pode me indicar onde encontro?
A different interpretation of being "way out of your league"
Yes, look at what she got.
LOVE IT!❤❤❤
I always thought that...never stylish and good looking like his female friends...they are gone now, still have my husband and my boys...he doesn't talk to them...13 years together
In man speak: He was very superficial and lazy. She chased him and wasn't pretty enough for him.
You forgot she was also pushy and annoying!
@@abbatrouble so true! When I was a kid and saw this movie, I thought she was just enthusiastic and passionate. As an adult woman, I cringe at how she was acting. They both had their serious character flaws. However, at least she was faithful to him and always wanted him to be the best that he could be, despite her own wants and needs. Can't say that he took the initiative for her in that way, however.
Hubble had everything. Looks and money. He does not understand fighting and protesting. He wants to look good and be rich. He may be shallow but he can afford to be. Lol. The lady wanted him to be something that he could not be. She was desperate for his love but annoying by trying to change him. She knew who he was when she met him. That is all he can be. She is a pretty woman and does not have to beg a man to love her. That annoyed me about this movie. Her low self esteem. A lot of her movies cast her as a desperate ugly woman. I don’t like it. She deserves better than that. She directs movies just like the men.
In what universe would she be a pretty woman?
Yes he was finer than a Gucci bag
This is literally me all the time :(
I'm sad NoT happy ending !
robert redford looks like my dad
Its strange that we only see what we want in those we love. he even tells her i was never who you made me out to b. i know a little about that myself quiet alot actually allways looking for the good in people and only every finding the bad after i was a fool a joke and everyone knew except
me i was always the last to know
Gosh he was delicious.....💓💓💓💓💓
Luigi Nannetti, please place the title in capitals for the first letters of words and place a quotation around the title. Please. . . She begged here, she should have never begged, right?
She is so pitiful. It's so sad. Aghh
If this isn’t a twin flame relationship, I don’t know what is
Well this clip just come up as a sync, and Im thinking 'shit this is me and my twin' because he, an incredibly gorgeous older consultant doctor where I worked as a nursing assistant, he would stare at me, flirt with me, come up to my ward just to see me, but in the end chose to stay with his air hostess GF whilst I, a lil bit wilder and spiritual wasnt chosen. He also had some harem of cluckers around him, they adored him but hated me and I dont do harems ;)
I always said I just wasnt beautiful enough 'for him' but I am my own kind of beautiful'. I then left our work without saying goodbye and hit travelling on the road nearly 2 years ago, but he still keeps showing up in syncs and dreams. He made his choice, I made mine....I am worth more and I could never trust him again even though we werent together. When this happens with a twin, you wish they werent your twin...all hope goes, all desire for life goes. As much as I live my life, I long to leave this plane. And even in death, I wish I could be not a twin.

@@pepitaaguilarjimenez4183 sorry, I do not understand
Gracias a Dios se separaron, al pobre hombre lo estaba volviendo loco o violento. Di un sobresalto o susto cuando golpeó la pared, en cambio la mujer de la película se rió
I am in a quiz to win a prize and the question is :How many different (in terms of time) encounters did our hero and heroine have in the original film?
Does anyone know the answer to this question. Thank you!
If my husband turns out to be like this....he can pack his bags n go to hell...this movie alwz scares me to shit of what marriage n husbands can be like
Oh, but look what I've got...
There's no way she would have left him
In real life, he would have run a mile
Her character is so desperate and yet he is so cool!
It's my life and he doesn't want me either.
he was such a narcissist.
