40 Inspirational Speeches in 2 Minutes 

13 years later and I still keep coming back to this. Absolutely beautiful cut

Honestly, "They may take our lives but they'll never take OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY!" was the very first thing I did for this montage. I totally understand why a lot of people don't like that ending, but it's my favorite part! Jeez, almost five years. Time for a sequel?

Finals tomorrow . . . Win or die

8 years later and still inspirational as fuck. Now who wants to conquer a small country with me?

Coming back to this after 9 years. I have fought, failed, raised again and failed again. What a journey it has been. These dialogues feel like an anthem to me. Even now, I get the exact feel of a 24 year old.

Am I the only one who gets chills after hearing "Our Independence Day" and then the theme for Independence day starts playing? This is the most inspirational thing I have ever seen.

My Professor linked this video in a recent email reminding us to study for an upcoming exam. It read: "Greetings Students, EXAM 2 is on Wednesday March 18th (get INSPIRED)." :D

Going on ten years now, and I still use this video for some hardcore motivation.

APUSH exam tomorrow and my teacher sent this to us. win or die.

During these turbulent times, I find myself diving into sources of previous inspiration to help muster the strength to get through it. This one is, and will probably always be, at the top of the list.

My AP Lit teacher sent us a link to this this morning. Our AP test is in an hour 😥

I get chills when it gets to “Seize the day. Never surrender! Victory or death!”

No matter what is going on in life or in the world this supercut always makes me feel better.

I saw this video for the first time when I was a teen. Have never forgotten it 13 years later at nearly 30 years old. Forever love it

My two friends and I watched this video before every Saints playoff game in 2009, and they won the Super Bowl. It definitely played a part in their victory 💪🏆.

This video still does it for me 12 years later. Bravo.

Finals brought me here

Still one of the best videos on the internet in 2022.

Still coming back to this in 2019. "AND THEY WILL KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO!"

This video must never die!!!!!

Eleven years later, I still come back to this for a pick-me-up

Mathew Belinkie. You can not possibly know how artful this is. You simply cannot.

I've probably watched this over 40 times by now, and it STILL does it for me. That, my friend, is a sign of truly great work.

"and gentlemen in England shall KNOW.. MY NAME IS THE LORD!" 'speare and Tarantino combined.. what could be better? XD

I still watch this on tough days. what a rush. thanks for making it - it's really helped me.

This has been on my favorites list for years and here I am still watching...thank you

My friend showed this to me in 2008 or 2009... It's really helped me over the years. I really want to say thank you to the person who made this video. It's magnificent.

My teacher played this the day before our final test.

Watched this so many times, still gives me chills.

I listen to this before every job interview that I really want. It’s never let me down before. Here’s hoping the good vibes it send help today!!! 🤞🤞

Goosebumps? Goosebumps, anyone?

The music from Henry V is so perfect! I never get tired of watching this.

Dear Matthew Belinkie. Thank you so much for making this video. It’s my favourite video on RU-vid and I’ve watched it every so often for the last decade almost. Thank you. Thank you so much.

15 Years and i still come to see this masterpiece !

This might be my favorite video ever.

Still listen to this everyday at the gym. 1o years and counting

I first saw this 6 years ago when my English teacher showed it to my class before our AP exam. Still inspires and brings a smile to my face! Thank you.

Man, so glad that I rediscovered this gem.

1:06 If you would be free men or, If you would be (Morgan) Freeman.

This is the most perfect video on RU-vid

almost 13 years later and I am STILL sharing this with new people I meet who haven't seen it

I still watch this every year! One of the best RU-vid videos ever made

Thanks a lot Matthew Belinkie. There is now a hole in my office wall, shaped like me, where I just ran through it.

Still here watching this Thursday October 28th 2021, but, since it was first put onto RU-vid I've watched it, still come here because it's honestly helped me. I tried sharing this to Ifunny, won't let me. I will never stop sharing this until the internet won't let me, its honestly has helped alot of people I've shared it with. ❤

This video always manages to pick me up.

Amazing editing. Keep coming back to this.

I never get tired of watching this.

I wish I could like this more every time I watch it.

I've been gritting my teeth for days now!

This is beautifully cut together. Thank you!

This video just popped into my head the other day, what a true piece of internet gold

943 people had their independence day taken.

There really needs to be more of these

My mom showed this to me a decade ago. I'm amazed that I still remember it after all these years.

I love starting my day with this video. So many great movies. Such a great editing job for a powerful and positive message. Thank you!

This video gave me chills i don't know why but I cried when I saw Robbin Williams he impacted most peoples lives in a good way and seeing this video it was just perfect

My blood is *burning*!

The Greatest speech of all time

Every morning I wake up...and watch this.

this makes me wanna go climb the highest mountain i can find...who's with me?!?!

I am inspired as fuck right now

i always come back to this speech :)

I first saw this probably in 2009. STILL GETS ME HYPED

Professor just sent this to us. AP Human Geography exam today, wish me luck

let us ... cut out their living guts XD Patton was one hell of a guy.

been coming back to this video for years. love it. thanks a lot, means more than you know to me.

everytime i get burned out on midterms i watch this for more motivation to keep up. GOOD JOB !

*Clicks on video "We will fight!" "No! We will run... and we will live." The hell... Am I on the right video?

how i felt in cubs game 7

This is a video that my former pack master showed us growing up in Boy Scouts. He was a great man that will be missed. It’s a video that I keep tucked away in my likes, for those days I need a little extra motivation. It got me through some hard times in high school.

''because they may take out lives, bu tthey will NEVER TAKE OUR independence day" - Heart enriching words :')

"We are lions!" "Like a big bear man!" hahaha

My professor emailed this to my class for our final tomorrow lol.

12 years. 12 years to find this joyous video. Better late than never, I guess.

This gives me such inspiration that i want to spring into action against those who would strike down bravery and freedom with the acts of cowardice and hesitation!!! Truly great speeches in here!

*YEAH! Let's do this!* So... what was the plan again?

needs Shia Labouf edition :D

Extreme excellent dude, thanks for the compilation..

Still hits. Amazing cut.

That Independence Day Though... :D

RIP Robin Williams

Thank you for this.

This is the best speech and editing ever

The Last Starfighter.

It's part of Charlie Chaplin's big speech in The Little Dictator, which was an act of defiance against Nazism . If you watch the whole speech, it's quite amazing.

I love how everyone else says something that is deep and thoughtful, and the Spartans say, "AH-OO! AH-OO!"

I need this going to finals week. THANK YOU.

It's too bad this vid was made when it was, otherwise it could have included Stacker Pentacost's "canceling the Apocalypse" speech from Pacific Rim

lol he said Freeman

Dude you're my HERO

This is and always will be my favorite video ever

Did anyone else come here because of the online courses they're taking to avoid coronavirus?

Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack

i watch this at the end of every semester when finals swing around. i have been ever since i started college.

Nice work Matt.

what is the music at the end?

My teacher showed this to us before the AP tests hehe

This is quite possibly one of the greatest things I have ever seen on RU-vid. You sir are a genius.

Well done! Thanks for putting this great together and sharing it!
