Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (3/8) Movie CLIP - Old and Worn Out (1982) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Kirk (William Shatner) ponders the life he could have had with his former love, Carol Marcus (Bibi Besch).

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is fondly regarded as being the closest in spirit to the 1966-69 TV series that spawned it. Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) escapes the tedium of a desk job to join Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley) on another space mission. While boldly going where no man etc. etc., Kirk crosses the path of his old enemy Khan (Ricardo Montalban), who as any die-hard Trekker can tell you, was the chief antagonist in the 1966 Trek TV episode "Space Seed." Leading a crew of near-savage space prisoners, Khan insinuates himself into the Genesis Project, which is designed to introduce living organisms on long-dead planets. Intending to harness this program for his own despotic purposes, Khan engages in battle with the Enterprise crew.

Shatner’s performance here is wonderful. He often gets made fun of for his over-the-top-acting but in my opinion he’s amazing at subtle things like this. Just look at his face and you can see the pain and sadness of meeting his adult son after missing out on his entire childhood. Remarkable.

[gaoutlaw]

A lot of people ham on Shatner‘s acting, but in this film I think he really shines. In this scene, where both he and Carol seem to have feelings of regret, and wishing that things have been different for them, and also the way Kirk says “No..” after Spock dies, it’s just heart wrenching.

[Ambaryerno]

This is probably THE most important scene in the entire movie. It summarizes the entire emotional center of the film. Wrath of Khan is NOT about Khan's desire for revenge, but Kirk's own feelings of age and time catching up with him, and life passing him by. This one moment is Star Trek at its absolute best.

[jefferee]

As a divorced father this scene makes me so emotional. FATHERS ARE REAL PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEIR KIDS. WE DESERVE TO BE A PART OF THEIR LIVES, NO MATTER HOW THE MOTHER FEELS ABOUT IT.

[starwolf]

I commended Bibi Besch for her facial acting. Gone was the bitterness as she just...listened to Kirk being vulnerable.

[amead]

This is what happens when you have the right director. You can get scenes like this out of Shatner.

I went to see Star Wars Episode VII yesterday. The reunion between Han and Leia was so glaringly EMPTY of emotion or impact really. We fought the empire and fell in love with those 2 for 3 movies and now when they are reunited we get RUSHED dialogue and disinterested performances? I literally felt no emotion watching their scenes. And yet it was HAN and LEIA for God's sake!

Then I remembered this scene from Star Trek II. Think about it- we had never even HEARD of Carol Marcus before this movie and yet we have performances so charged with battered and weary emotions and dialogue so snappy that we INSTANTLY feel their pain and emotion. And this is their first scene together!

Damnit, Hollywood CAN'T MAKE SCENES LIKE THIS anymore! The Star Trek (AND Star Wars) of the 80s set the bar that may never be equaled. Thank God they can't take these movies away from us.

52 yrs old now and I feel this scene...it was powerful then and powerful now.

[gordondavis]

A large part of the film is about past regrets and life not turning out how you expected. How a person deals with disappointments and old hurts. Kirk chooses to live for the future, to enjoy being a starship captain again and to form a relationship with his son, even though he has lost Spock. Khan has the opportunity for a new life - he has a starship and can go anywhere he pleases, but instead he chooses to live in the past seeking revenge for old hurts and the death of his wife.

Seen it with a friend from high school the opening week.This is still the best Trek movie! So many one liners to remember! Even the word remember is an important line!

[sharpsdoublerifle]

"Old and worn out", but still kicks ass

[Vange-kwye]

I remember watching this scene years ago. It was a great portrayal of decisions made and regret of what life could have been. What stuck in my mind was when Kirk says "what am I feeling? Old....worn out" I can relate now a lot better to what he was saying than when I first saw it.

[artboymoy]

Chekov got to hear all of this... well, with his good ear... :p

[RaytheMagician]

For all the actors and comedians that love to make fun of William Shatner based on "mannerisms" and "speech patterns", I would direct them to this scene and dare them to imply that William Shatner is not a good actor. Especially since in this scene, he's being vulnerable and opening up to Carol Marcus. SUPERB work.

[superstarultra]

Remember when Star Trek had quiet, thought-provoking moments like this instead of CGI explosions and phoned in acting? Good times.

[obo]

'I wanted him in MY world, NOT yours....but...please tell me what youre feeling'

[ShawnaGraham]

She was dead wrong to not even tell him

[KillerKane]

Whenever I think of handling past relationships, this scene comes to mind. It's as simple as Kirk says: stay away if they aren't interested. Ive been on both sides of this approach and it works.

[Tubewings]

He actually won a Saturn Award for Best Actor for this film, not an Oscar.

[NeoRazgriz]

“I wanted our son in my world. Not chasing after the universe with his father. Tell me what you’re feeling.”

My response: “What do you care? You never told our son the truth about me or me the truth about him.“

She was selfish and kept her son for herself (not for her son’s happiness) and still had the gall to ask Kirk ANOTHER selfish question?
