#ParamountPlus #1883

1883, a Yellowstone origin story, follows the Dutton family as they embark on a journey west through the Great Plains toward the last bastion of untamed America. From Academy Award nominee Taylor Sheridan, co-creator of Yellowstone, 1883 is a stark retelling of Western expansion, and an intense study of one family fleeing poverty to seek a better future in America’s promised land — Montana.

When he says "I know" amazing two men who have seen the horrors of war, know what each is feeling at that moment

I can't get over how good Tim McGraw was in this series.

I can't believe how good 1883 is. But this scene had me googling and finding videos like this, just because its so powerful. Amazing.

What really got to me was the Union soldiers walking by, watching him with only curiosity, but to him it was something completely different. His men dead, and yet he lived. Then, this General, from a completely different type of world just sits next to him to console him about what he is looking at and what he experienced. He lost. He knew he lost, and that he will have to live in the world he wasn't born and raised to. And that will change him.

Absolutely loved this show…never realized that was Hanks until now

[johnfluckiger]

Such a compelling scene with so little dialogue. Tim and Tom both did such an exceptional job!

[VloggingThroughHistory]

Fun fact: Meade is the real life great great great grandfather of actor Matthew Fox. He was also only a brigadier general at Antietam but we'll let that slide because this scene is fantastic.

“Only those who have never fought a war, think that it is glorious.”

[estellacoggins]

Tom Hanks performances are always straight from the heart, enough

[nathanbailey]

I think about this scene very often, I am constantly reminded how much I appreciated this show's maturity and respect for the audience. It showed us history as it was, without commenting on it, and letting us decide for ourselves how we feel about it. On a side note, my great-great-great grandfather died in a Union prison camp, so this scene in particular was poignant to me. We do not need to tear down and erase our history, if we do not learn from it, we are bound to repeat it.

I can’t believe this is acting. I literally feel that I’m sitting right beside them. Tom hanks is powerful. He has 5 words of dialogue and it’s one of the most powerful thought provoking scenes in tv history. (Yes I said that)

[KCShox]

This was a great scene. Gen. Meade''s character showing compassion and empathy was truly wonderful. What we didn't see, Gen. Meade suddenly gets up, slaps Captain Dutton on the back three times and says, "Welp son! Time to go to prison - get on up!"

[Sam-chmn]

I thought Yellowstone was the best ‘Western’ drama on television for ten years or more. Then 1883 came along. Same writer and producer. But with talent like Sam Elliot, Tim McGraw and the other actors as well as the scenery and story it’s hard to imagine a more perfectly drawn series. Well done to all involved.

[mychipsnow]

Such a powerful scene. So much is said with so little words.

[nrestivo]

A Union soldier consoling a Confederate soldier. Both men discarding their differences and acknowledging the distructive horrors of war. With the ideological divisions present today; we could learn a lot from this scene.

[HardNorthOutdoors]

As a Vet, this scene hit hard. It was fantastically put together. Love everything yellowstone.

[DarMar]

Bloody hell, that's how you know Tom Hanks is one of best. Barely said anything and it was still so much emotion to and already emotional scene

[barrybryantjr.]

There's so much power sometimes in not saying anything, you can just feel it💯

[ecrusch]

Tom Hanks is one of a kind. No ifs, and, or buts.
This scene didn't need any more dialog than what was written.
Well done.

[aquastar]

Would be cool to see a prequel to this show that shows everything that Dutton and the wagon boss went through during the civil war.
