someone was arrested

It's a heinous deed but it's just a tree. No lives need be destroyed.

@@ralphmacchiato3761 These are the same people who would rather save their own drowning dog instead of saving the drowning human being.

It's not some tree though it's iconic and was 300 years old,the little shit who did it oughta have his hands cut off so he knows what it feels like

@@kingGhobra Well, yeah. And nine times out of ten we chose wisely.

@@uncontrollable343 No you won't do anything. We humans would not tolerate you wishing/trying to murder one of us over a tree. It would be your end soon if you ever tried something like that.

@@kingGhobra nonsense! Draw and quarter him up like it should and used to be!

It's historical you won't ever get that back and a new tree won't ever be as old as the original

​@@uncontrollable343I'd like to see the culprit swing from a tree, its the only true justice.

Shame on the 16 year old teenager boy had badly cut down the tree at Sycamore Gap at Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland. By Vandalism! Tragedy!

Plant another you can get them from. Woodland trust

Same here - I am absolutely gutted

Kick them out the country they don't deserve to breathe British air

My heart breaks with yours. I can’t fathom why anyone would do this.

the youth that did this needs extracted from your village

Never Forgotten ❤✨🌳

it makes perfect sense, its a metaphor for our once great united kingdom, im moving to greenland this country is just pure fubar

Being from Ireland, i relate to that quote

Being from México i relate to that quote.

Leticia Romero I thought Mexico was sunny, at least since I was in Cancun in 2012 and It was pretty sunny in there

There isn't much sun in Scandinavia either, mate! December of 2020, I can count on one hand the number of hours so far by the 18th!

@@DonBean-ej4ou Brilliant!

At least the tree never been conscious so it doesn't have emotions or feelings, like remorse or pain. Still beautiful parts of nature off course.

Until we develop synthetic brains that can replicate themselves, then we are immortal. Less than 100 years at the current rate of progress.

And the old trashcan who was responsible got a youngster to be arrested to protect him fom jail. Despicable to his very bottom.

Lol bro, move on :)

We always come to a part and then stop..... And, later wonder why?

😂 fuck you are a sad person :)

Millennium87,Thank you for Sharing your Memorys with us 😀

This one and Waterworld. I had both of them on VHS and I watched the shit out of them when they came out. When you were a kid back in these days, you didn't have all these streaming options. Everyone had like 20-30 VHS and we shared them with friends. You get a fresh new film and you watch it 10 times before you give it back (good ones where copied with the 2 VHS recorder on top of each other method).

Why wouldn't it have survived two world wars, the Germans weren't exactly going to bomb a national park with very little in it were they?

@@SPM0717I think they are emphasising that the tree has seen a lot of history throughout its lifetime.

Oh no, I m gutted. Just learning the news thanks to you… :(

​@@GoProblemit happened last night and has broken a lot of hearts

He was just gonna start it off. He had a Makita cordless chainsaw in the back of his van, just out of shot.

That was a bit crazy 😂

🤣🤣🤣

Oh its the BUZZ KILL

Someone finally did cut it down 😞

Happens all the time in Devon

100 years old max,plant another!

or 5 miles? around 2:12 when Robin points east he say he is only 5 miles from his home. no Doncaster disputes with Nottingham over where Hood really lived but even Doncaster is not 5 miles from Hadrians wall.

Northumberlands miles from Nottingham! Is about 70 miles from North Yorkshire (give or take) is Northumberland

Man you eco/pagan weirdos are hilarious, it's just some tree, get over it. It never had emotions, feelings or any sentience yet you're saying RIP 😂😂😂 World's gone mad 😂

@@Phil_Mitchell That's not necessarily true though is it. Of course it won't experience emotions, have feelings or sentence in quite the "same" way we understand/experience that. Doesn't mean there is no kind of consciousness or awareness, far from it as obviously there is. Still massively disrespectful and indifferent of another living being in any case, as well as the *human* emotions, feeling and sentience that associates with natural world, other beings and scenic beauty. You diminish the natural world with blunt indifference you diminish your own mind.

@@ericritchie6783 You had better provide evidence that trees have consciousness or awareness otherwise you're just spouting naturalist woo woo nonsense.

@@Phil_Mitchell Consciousness The state of being aware of and responsive to one's surroundings. There's a whole lot of observations how trees interact with surrounding elements and react to conditions and weather in complex ways. Awareness and reaction happens both at the microbial level around and between root stocks and how they express/interact with canopy or root development/areas also. Trees also experience weather and climatic events in ways that may shape future expressions and resource management in response. There's a whole lot of deliberation and research that can be considered on a simple search on the topic, you can't post links here. There is of course a large degree of subjective definition around the nature of "consciousness." If brain synapse develop connections over time in response to information taken in by the senses, why would the rhizome patterns of roots, mycelium and microbial activities not resemble exactly this, just in a somewhat different context? What makes you any more or less of a "figment" simply responding to events as they unfold? How are you any different in essence? It's gets very philosophical in a hurry, i.e. does free will even exist ect. However in any case its still disrespectful of how natural elements of the landscapes, that we literally evolved with, help shape our own conscience and sensibilities. Trees get cut all the time on scale, one of those things, however it can be done respectfully or with cold indifference. You can thin a forest out mindfully to harvest materials, or just clear cut vast swaths causing a bunch of erosion and knock on environmental issues. Clear evidence of this can be demonstrated. In any case this is an iconic scenic location not a forestry commission plantation so it's an even greater act of vandalism. Trees could apparently persist without us around, apparently not so lightly vice versa as the hydrological cycle would be way too diminished for most landscapes to be habitable and the climate too unstable for probably most or all mammals. Like I say you diminish your own mind not to be "mindful" of other living components of the larger ecological environment.

@@Phil_Mitchell The first section of a Harvard article for consideration. "MAY 6, 2019 Exploring The Underground Network of Trees - The Nervous System of the Forest by Valentina Lagomarsino figures by Hannah Zucker When scientists first studied the structure of nerve cells that comprise the human brain, they noted their strong resemblance to trees. In fact, dendrites, the term to describe projections from a nerve cell, comes from the Greek word Dendron, for “tree.” While the connection in the appearance of nerve cells was made to trees, the comparison may have been more apt than originally realized: scientists are starting to uncover that trees have their own sort of nervous system that is capable of facilitating tree communication, memory and learning." You could look the rest up if you wish. Essentially there many things that resemble human synaptic pathways both in nature on earth the larger cosmos, interesting to consider. I think its accurate to say that another large and complex living being does indeed have its own kind of awareness and consciousness around with its experience and interactions with its environment. Certainly to some extent at least and not necessarily precluded a relatively large extent, although that's not easily known.

Thank you very much

Ahh, just walk on it. Let’s live a little, but do not damage the tree 🌳

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool to hell with the tree long live walls. Were going to cut the tree down and make a fence out of it.

No sign there whatsoever though

Just pu the stone back if it falls off and let your kids walk on it as it's free

That we fucking are, I myself am livid, Northumberland once again having its rich history toyed with for a child's stupidity

The 16 yr old is taking the blame as he knows they can’t punish him so much. It was the 60 yr old who did it

He looks real good for his age. Much younger.

Surly not!

And awesome as always😂

More than Freeman though 😉 Innit

I know just a bang average man. Even in bodyguard he has a soft look in some scenes.

Lucky you I was recently coming back from Northumberland and wanted to visit , but didn't have enough time Now it's gone 😢

Mecca is also south east of Hadrian's wall:)

I was on hadrians wall today not far from here, it's beautiful

Well they washed ashore at the white cliffs of dover, which is in the south of England, walked to Hadrian's wall which is the border between England and Scotland to get to Nottingham which is in the midlands. I don't think Ole Rob and his mate have much of a sense of direction.

@@gabriellockhart they are going to Loxley which is in South Yorkshire

@@gabriellockhart maybe they fell asleep on a wagon pulled by oxes and found out they're in Scotland.....nearly.

What country was Azeem's? Irish? Cornish?

@@jamesmckean3221 Moorish!

*Gasp!*

😂😂😂😂😂

Just a myth, they never talk to them

It wasn't meant to be Hadrian's Wall in the film, but rather just some random ruin (yes, I know that this is the Hadrian's Wall in real-life, but it was not mean to be that in the movie).

Yeah and about 3000 miles from America. Not a lot of Nottingham accents

@@andrewdurham909 don't you mean no Old englisc accents

@@ryanmurphy5943 Middle English actually, the first accounts of Robin hood are from the 13th century.

Not if you walk fast

I had a friend who lived quite near there as well. She has moved back to Holland now though.

It was a happy day when I drove past the gap and recognised the tree from the film 😊

Best tree 🌳 in the world

The Kid had a Mentor, a 60+ yr old.

I knew it was Robin Hood straight away, the memory of that kid hiding from the sheriffs goons up a tree was more memorable than I thought

@@donttreadonme154 😥 what a strange act of vandalism.. I mean why ?

@@zackmoore147 Crimes against natural beauty should be tantamount to high treason 😡

Totally agree.

Yeah know it's nothing but green screen

There are plenty of films like that out there, made by independent filmmakers. If you wish, take a look at the filmography of "character actors" like Christopher Walken, David Carradine, Gary Oldman. You may be amazed. ✌

Hopefully the culprit has been cursed for life.

Allan Rickman as the Sheriff

No, they must be severely punished - many years in prison.

The wall twists and turns with the landscape. I live next to it. Kev points towards Carlisle to the west. And when he picks mistletoe? The first scene is filmed in 'sycamore gap'. Hey, it's a movie!

@@chriswood3252 To say nothing of the fact that they would have had to bypass Nottingham and Sherwood by a long way to reach Hadrian’s wall, as well as the fact that Mecca and Medina are really Southeast of England, not east. Yeah, it’s a movie with great acting talent, I’m happy.

You realise that's not meant to be Hadrian's wall, right?.. It's just a random wall... Confabulation has turned it into Hadrian's wall over many years of public misinterpretation.

@@consciousbeing1188 I think it's intended to seem like Hadrian's wall because Americans and other non-Brits have heard of it, but for Brits who know the geography and complain it doesn't make sense, they made sure to not actually call it that in the movie so they could plausibly say that it's just another random wall somewhere between Dover and Nottingham.

@@robfinlay8058 - So is the problem with Brits who complain??... I mean.. Let's be honest... If there's something one should always expect from Hollyweird it's that they take artistic licence for granted and push the boundaries of it with fervour.

What are the inaccqurices?

Azeem in the film is Moorish, not Arabic.

It's just some stupid tree, get over it.

@@Phil_Mitchellthat tree has been there for 100’s of years and supplied many humans with oxygen. What have you done in comparison?

@zzzzzzzzz4313 that tree has been a symbol of northern heritage for years , I grew up with it , as have many people , it's iconic , and it's outlived 300 years worth of people, it's not jist a tree , your just a silly twat

@@uncontrollable343 Yeah I'm sure that tree consciously supplied humans oxygen lol

@@Phil_Mitchell conscious or not, it still held more value than you 😂

Its kind of accurate. Before american and english dialects diverged, the english spoke more like americans. It was during the industrial revolution that people in Britian saw the rhotic R as commoner speak in a period where folks wanted to seem higher class and so dropped the letter out of alot of pronouciations. Of course the american dialect would have transformed too.

Thats bullshit, accents in Britain have stayed the same. West country accents are still found in North Carolina, and Virginia. The American accent is a result of different immigration groups, such as the Germans, Swedes, Dutch, and in particular the Irish who have a similar sounding pronunciation to americans.

Kolur that is extremely inaccurate

@@TheLewisLegend they have NOT stayed the same, modern english was born in the late 14th century, in the times of Robin hood the language was Middle English, Anglo Saxon, depending of the Region. King Richar barely spoke english since he mostly lived in france .

@@22espec accents... Not languages.

Yes, at least SOME good actors there. They played like naturals, precisely as if they were real irish wolf hounds.... :)

only the best actors in the film

and now things are looking a little darker at this site..

that isn't a halberd, thats just an axe, a halberd is a big ass spear axe hybrid

@@abrahamnotlincoln3439 I stand corrected: the morning after the next morning.

Sycamore Tree. It’s in a section of Hadrian’s Wall called Sycamore Gap.

Americans have NEVER given a fuck what Brits think... why would we start now?

@@consciousbeing1188 Yup, great mentality. Worked out swell during World War 2 when the British advised the US to black out the East Coast and the admiral in the charge of the Atlantic didn't like the British so he said no, and so US ships were silhouetted against the lit-up shore. The German U-Boat crews called it 'The Second Happy Time'. And with the US Army, the British told them their doctrine was hopelessly outdated, the Army ignored them, and Rommel thrashed them hard at the Kasserine Pass and they came back begging for advice.

@@DomWeasel - LMFAOI!!.. You're pompous enough to give me a history lesson too??.. I STILL don't give a fuck. It's a fucking movie!!... Anyone who places historical accuracy as a priority in a form of entertainment is a puerile dipshit with nothing better to do than make up things to whinge about. Get over yourself, dude... The UK would be NOTHING without the US as an ally.. and you KNOW it.. you're just too gutless to admit it.

People that complain about films not being historically accurate crack me up. Do they not understand what fiction is?
