JOHN HENRY AND THE RAILROAD | Omeleto

I love the part when he said you cant stop this train I would cry if he died

John Henry was short nonetheless makes his feats that much greater

Grit, sweat, and love. Heck, I watch this just for some wholesome motivation.

Es una hermosa historia ❤❤

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO AND THE PEOPLE IN IT I S UNBELIEVABLE. Thank you this video reminded me of when i was young and the speach he gave to his boy was the way i lived my life i have worked HARD all my life from digging ditches to shoveling cow manure. I raised two kids by working 2 and 3 jobs at a time and where im from eastern Kentucky you took work where you could get it. So thank you for passing on what you have did.

robots should replace humans cuz they do much better work, faster and they dont need breaks!!!

He literally said, if this thing can do it so can I.

"This 9lb hammer, is a little too heavy, for my size, lord, for my size"

God Bless John Henry.

That was really good

This is an awesome rendition of an American Folk Tale. Even the deviations, yeah, no one cares, because the story is so good!!

Going to find more from this channel!

Til. Some. Fool. Brought. In. A. Steam. Drill

This song is LIT

This is something I dislike about the modern day and the internet. Everybodys so quick to dismiss folk tales and debunk everything leaving nothing left for human imagenation.

I used to shuck clams in a factory for a living. I was the fastest clam shucker in the universe. Me and about 15 other shuckers got replaced by a machine. I had it arranged that I could race the machine. On race day I was doing good, with the machine barely ahead by 2 gallons. Then the machine caught fire.

it'd be so funny if that was actually his kid

From one railtoader to another : God bless John Henry....

I love this

Das war alles aufgemacht, es gab kein Schwarzer John Henry; es gab ein John Henry, Keltisch und Weiss. Seien sie nicht betruegt von Schwarzen, verbotener Rasse von ein Teufel, Samael gemacht, ins imitieren vom Geschlecht was Gott hatte gemacht. Sie muessen immerzeits in ein Hoelle wohnen; haben urzeitlich darausgebrochen, durch Schwarze Zauberkraft. Sie haben es nicht gerechtig in Terrestria einwohnen. Sie sind so giftlich fuer gut-geschlechtige Leuten, das in ein Jahrhundert oder zwei ganze Welt wuerde eingewohnt von Schwarzen nur- ist sehr moeglich die Natur machte eine Loesung an aber. Also Leuten koennen anleben ohne der ekelhafter nicht-human Rasse. Sie hatten schlauer Weisen ans Betruegen; sie sollen keine Schwaerzen in die Grenzen zulassen...

john henery is pure chad energy

If it were like the unions used to be they would sabotage the machine every time they tried to use it

No. He died. Why do they feel the need to change the ending?? They're just hell bent on changing and ruining every single thing they possibly can...absolutely pathetic.

Sadddddddddddddddddddd

There's a lot of true tales that turn out to be totally fabricated to the extent they're the reverse of reality

Being as I have done rail work in the mines, I say you did an excellent job on this story which I am very familiar with.

Once upon a time there was a race horse big strong and fast.
His name was John Henry. I loved to watch JH race. He was magnificent.

This has it a bit backwards, John Henry was born a free man, and died a slave. Also he was 5"1'

Why did the story go that he died from exhaustion? Where did that idea come from?

Wow.

This was a terrible adaptation of the John Henry myth. It destroyed the entire meaning and moral of the story for some crappy feel-good ending.

"Thats too fast... ill be faster...
Its too strong... ill be stronger...
Its made of steel and metal it won't let up... then neither will I..." mans mind set was to go further and grind down to the soul...

Just want to comment on this, this was best short film that I want just to cry because how good this film is, especially the music, ever since I came to this film, it just wants me to have motivation, thank you to people at Omeleto, thank you.

this is the best story i have ever heard and i don't even like history because i could not find out why we need to know about died people and i am so sorry for the lost of your father jack henry

I love this story!!! It shows with determination anything is possible.

I learn that in school tall tale

my grandpa used to tell me it the same way as the disney movie but he also stood for racial EQUALITY not black or white supremacy or whatever

cool i am glad he lived. and i did not know he was christian. i loved the song when he said the good lord says tell the mountain to move and the mountains will move so my good lord said.

I have the actual John Henry railroad spike

Good Ole great great great grandfather John Henry never met ya but man I wish I did
Best damn railroad worker ever lived and yes that sledgehammer is made from his chains

Absolute strength!

I'm glad to read that they're still teaching the Tall Tales in school. I remember thoroughly enjoying this and other stories 45-50 years ago-they really grab the imagination of children and inspire everyone!!

This is probably your best one so far that I have seen at least I love most of your films some of them are okay and one or two I didn't like it all but what I do like is your approach to filmmaking and originality. Keep up the good work I'm going to keep watching.

This is about as true as the original story.

Grit, Sweat, and LOVE.

I love Odetta singing about John Henry.

John Henry greatest human beinging ever lived.

Long John Henry. The Giant man took on a train and smoked the machines ass.
