He portrayed king of Suari excellently with grace, charm,some sterness and gentleness. How hansome he was, especially in that military uniform. I look foward to seeing him Bless the beast and children. So sad that his life was taken so young. His family must really miss him. Hope he's continuing his craft up above.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055494860576377981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198703355599582279.post-68226014694736218022018-06-05T09:44:52.852-07:002018-06-05T09:44:52.852-07:00I'm french living in Paris.

Bless the Beasts & Children had a huge impact on me when I was 14 years old. I saw it as part of my church confirmation classes back in the mid 1970s. The theme of the confirmation process was to "go mad", which stood for 'go make a difference' in the world-- and Bless the Beasts was our example. <br /><br />I think that there was a gay kid in the movie, or at least it was implied. I might mention that my church was and is very progressive, although I don't attend anymore. They advertise as "open and affirming" which means they welcome everyone including gay members. Looking back it was pretty gutsy of my church to be showing Bless the Beasts considerig the adult language and themes.<br /><br />My memories of the film are primarily of Barry and his amazing performance. I see on the credit list that Bill Mumy is also in it and has top billing. But I only remember Barry's role and completely forgot that Mumy was even in it the film. <br /><br />Bless the Beasts & Children really is Barry Robins' movie as far as I'm concerned, and I'm looking forward to seeing it for the second time after all these years.Spacefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12373041963140546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198703355599582279.post-17567051288351722582014-02-27T21:56:26.434-08:002014-02-27T21:56:26.434-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Spacefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12373041963140546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198703355599582279.post-35500512080761904222014-02-15T07:42:20.024-08:002014-02-15T07:42:20.024-08:00Just watched Bless The Beast & Children again....Just watched Bless The Beast & Children again.

Your Uncle's performance in...Dear Mr. Edelson,<br /><br />Your Uncle's performance in "Bless The Beasts & Children" remains, to my way of thinking and feeling, probably the most moving out of the thousands of films I've seen over forty years now. I first saw that movie when I was about six years old, and I never, ever forgot it, nor shall I unless Alzheimer's takes over one day...;) I was saddened to hear that he died long ago, just as I came of age - and again, the whole performance he gave, the chords he pulled through that same performance, remain a very visceral experience. To this day, when I screen the film every now and again, I have never seen it with anyone, choosing to allow myself the experience alone. I'm glad you created this site.
