Are you finished Mr. Slade? “No I’m just getting warmed up”... also simple, classy, and no swear words. Even though Pacino does drop a few shits and fucks throughout the speech.
Edgar Allan Poe “he won’t sell anyone out to buy his future. And that my friends is called integrity. That’s called courage. Now that’s the stuff leaders should be made of”... 5:55 also could not say a damn thing. How can he defend his actions after a comment like that,
Jackson Bivens Pacinos performance in this is unparalleled. Nobody deserved that Oscar more than him. I think his role as Frank Slade is one of the best acted roles ever.
Scent of women at least for me is one of the most important movies in the Al Pacino Carrer, I've seen this movie for so long and still like it how he performance
Probably the most sensitive movie of the history that teaches being honest, right and a MAN! Will never stop lovin this movie. And of course, Al pacino's voice tone and speech style is an extra power of the movie.
@Felix Carpio he was referring to the outcome of that process that would have seen Sims lose because he did not have an equally rich father, it is the injustices that kill the soul, and in that context the soul of Sims would have been touched did not refer to the past but to what would happen in that room at that moment.
@@sheruffa6032 well put, and agree 100% Charlie as a young man with little life experience would have for the first time seen how the world truly works, in the process get expelled. This might not have broken him right away, but these are the type of things that kill the soul of good people.
@Felix Carpio He's referring to the process of punishing him for not snitching and the process that is intended to break his silence. His soul is intact but they are trying to break him.
Yes, in it's own way that's what happened with John F Kennedy when he was a Student at Choate. He knew he had very big shoes to fill since his Big Brother Joe who was only Two Years Older was The Family Prince. Jack as he was known got into mischief with his Classmates known as The Muckers and when his behavior got out of hand ie sneaking out past curfew, his Father had to come along and "Talk" to the Brother and I wouldn't be surprised if he gave a Monetary Donation.
Al Pacino's character, Col. Slade, is doing his best to sound "educated and professional" during his speech and he sounds great but then, out of the blue, the 'smooth edges' became sharp again when he says "I been ah-rouuund!" Probably one the finest quality actors Hollywood has ever had.
Marie, it’s such a moment. Always bothered me when I was younger because he lost his polish at that moment. Only as I’ve gotten older have I realized it was very nicely done
"There is nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit. There's no prosthetic for that." This is so true. People walk around in a daze and dont take oppertunity or care about anything and its becaise their spirit is broken. Really powerful.
1:07... one of the best examples of non-verbal communication ever. That pat on the arm spoke volumes. "Good for you son, you made the right decision not ratting anyone out"
One of the most motivated, inspiring, and disciplinary speech ever taken place and challenged the School Superintendent. An excellent imprompt speech to save an innocent young man who happened not to be a snitch. A young man who has kept his resilience and composure but an explosive speech by his mentor who has defined the differences between right and wrong.
This scene, and s few good men(last scene) probably the best emotional drivin scenes in cinematic history. Funny, inspiring,, inspirational, serious all in one speech.
The message is never attack a good man. Doing the right thing is the road that's the hardest, if the rest of the world would do the same thing the world would be a better place!💛
@@stillbill6408 Hate to break the news to ya, but Trump is George..hidin' in big Daddy's rich pocket. Bone spurs and all, with a "first lady" who barely speaks English. The Trump White House? Someone should TAKE A FLAME THROWER TO THAT PLACE.
Film koji sam u životu najviše puta pogledala skupa sa mužem i kćeri, scenarij znam skoro napamet. A pojedine prigodne citate koristimo interno između sebe kod kuće. Legendarni Frankie i zbunjeni dobrica Charlie :-)
In a career of timelessly legendary performances, Pacino's role as Lt. Col. Slade still stands as one of his finest. Props also to Chris O'Donnell, who as a young actor showed great maturity and the ability to go toe to toe with one of the biggest scenery-chewing names in the industry.
@@edgarallanpoe8917 is that a quote from that movie DEATH SENTENCE-2007 with KEVIN BACON & JOHN GOODMAN & BILLY & HIS GANG? It's way better than Death Wish the original with Charlie Bronson & even better than the remake with Bruce Willis. I liked it better than the BRAVE ONE with Jodie Foster as the VIGILANTE. James Wan's first non horror movie was Death Sentence not Dead silence either. The urban myth were if ur driving down a road at night and u see another car coming in the other lane and they don't have their headlights on & if u flash them with ur own headlights to let them know then now ur that gangs target. That's how it starts too cause as Kevin Bacon and his oldest son are coming home from a hockey game they pull Into a gas station and out of nowhere comes this muscle car and the gang gets out and heads into the gas station and the leader played by Garrett Hedlund has a younger brother that as part of this gangs initiation this kid must KILL someone to become part of this gang. After the Billy boy the leader shoots the clerk behind the counter he trys to amp up his brother who has a machete in his hand and slices the throat of bacon's eldest son. Bacon watches in horror as he's pumping gas into his car outside and everything happens real fast and the gang rush out and take off but the now new member of the gang gets left behind and has a brief struggle & tackle were bacon is trying to get this kid but loses the upper hand and this punk runs out into the road and says what the fuck? Then he gets hit bar a car and this punk ends up going over the top of this car into the air only to crash down hard. He lives but gets busted. Bacon rushes inside to save his son as he is bleeding to death and it's a nasty scene and when his kid gets rushed to the hospital he's pretty much DOA. KELLY PRESTON IS THE WIFE AND BACON HAS HIS YOUNGEST SON AT THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND ITS NOT LONG BEFORE THE DOC COMES OUT AND DELIVERS THE BAD NEWS.. Too avoid a spoiler ALERT well enough said already by me. EVERYONE knows & likes John Goodman who owns a auto repair junkyard as a legit front cause he also his a heroin dealer and gives it to his son "the gang lord wannabe" but the leader is a ruthless & doesnt give any fake or punk regular dumb thug. There is a scene were towards the end Kevin Bacon needs some guns and since he's the CEO of some fortune 500 corporation he's rich and upper class. Bacon walks in the shot and says I need guns. Goodman looks at him & says I don't know u. Then he says "I'm gonna take a guess that ur a little far from home" then bacon sets the money back at Goodman that changes everything cause MONEY TALKS. GOODMAN SAYS "WELL DONT LET ME SMELL ANY FEAR ON U, CAUSE FEAR IS FOR THE BULLETS, LOTS OF BULLET & GUNS GOODMAN PLAYED THIS HARD AS NAILS FATHER OF THIS GANG BUT HE'S NOT IN THE GANG. AFTER HE BUYS THE DESERT EAGLE AND A .357 MAGNUM AND A BIG DOUBLE BARREL SHOT GUN AND SOME OTHE SEMI AUTOMATIC GUN. ALL THIS MONEY IS MAKING GOODMAN ECCENTRIC AND OVER EXISTED AND AFTER THE TRANSACTION IS OVER. GOODMAN COCKS HIS OWN GUN AS HE FACES THE GUN UP AND NOT AT BACON. GOODMAN SAYS "SO ARE YOU THE MOTHER FUCKER THAT KILLED MY YOUNGEST JOE? AND NOW UR AFTER BILLY TOO RIGHT? BACON TURNS AROUND AND SAYS HE'S UR SON? THEN GOODMAN GOES INTO PSYCHO MODE WITH WHAT HE SAYS TO BACON. "WELL IF ANYONE EVER NEEDED TO SETTLE A SCORE WELL BILLY WOULD BE THE ONE TO PAY. BILLY IS NO DOING OF MINE AND EVERYTHING ELSE HE DOES IS NO DAMN DOING OF MINE. KILL THE LITTLE PISS PANTS & IT MAKES NO DAMN DIFFERENCE FROM ME. DAD TO DAD DON'T TELL ME ABOUT IT OK JUST GO DO IT. TOO LONG WITH MY RPLS TO RESPONSES AGAIN.
Many of the cheering students are wealthy. Many are also like Charlie. They are from poorer backgrounds. Their families aren't rich or powerful. Either way, they all cheered because they loved seeing the good guy win.
I have just finished watching this movie and I'm blown away. Everyone should watch it, man or a woman. Values such as integrity and honor are pretty much lost today.This movie shows us pretty much how to live.
God bless the British too. 🇬🇧 For their incredible resolve during the Battle Of Britain. You guys exhibited tremendous courage and defiance in the face of tyranny when things were unraveling rapidly during WWII. Not to mention *much respect* for producing such greats as Colin Chapman, Frank Williams, Ken Tyrell, Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Nigel Mansell, and Lola assisting us with the development of the Ford GT40 to take on Ferrari & Porsche at Le Mans. With notable respect to Mike Costin and Keith Duckworth for creating the nearly invincible Ford DFV V-8. 🏁🏆 Greetings from Fresno, California.
4.30 talking of amputed spirit, I can t help but think of .....al Pacino himself. Mr al Pacino knows very well, what it takes to become a "great" actor. The crossroads, right and wrong, too hard to chose ,he went through it all Indeed he s been around , we know
I'm with you. I have had people that I least suspected that stood up for me and put others in check after they misjudged me, meanwhile when I had relatives and so-called friends sit by and let me get destroyed.
Uno dei discorsi più belli che abbia mai sentito perché pregno di significato... Il film è uno dei miei preferiti, così come Al Pacino (uno dei migliori attori al mondo).
Best part about this video is that; speeches, morals and life lessons are universal! who cares what language it comes from? Everyone should and is givin the opportunity to hear one of the best movie speeches of all time
One day, if I land in a argument that offends my code, I hope to beat the table with my walking stick and thunder the words "If I were the man I was five years ago I'd take a flame-thrower to this place." I think it would leave an impression. (Incidentally, a Freudian reading of this scene would delight in the fact that both men wield phallos-shaped objects as they make their points.)
Too well said. You're not going to see a film like this being made by phonywood any time soon. It would show too much manliness, courage and principle for the current tastes of social engineering culture.
@Z80 There are more who care than you would realise. More and more caring - by the day. See this excellent real-life example of a young man with integrity who won't be silenced by corrupt college administrators. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-50xW002aU7c.html
