|Biography|Timeline of Events Deputies, Men of the German Reichstag! A year of events of historical significance is drawing to an end. A year of the greatest decisions lies ahead. In these serious times, I speak to you, Deputies of the German Reichstag, as to the representatives of the German nation. Beyond and above that, the whole German people should take note of this glance into the past, as well as of the coming decisions the present and future impose upon us. After the renewed refusal of my peace offer in January 1940 by the then British Prime Minister and the clique which supported or else dominated him, it became clear that this war-against all reasons of common, sense and necessity-must be fought to its end. You know me, my old Party companions: you know I have always been an enemy of half measures or weak decisions. If the Providence has so willed that the German people cannot be spared this fight, then I can only be grateful that it entrusted me with the leadership in this historic struggle which, for the next 500 or 1,000 years, will be described as decisive, not only for the history of Germany, but for the whole of Europe and indeed the whole world. The German people and their soldiers are working and fighting today, not only for the present, but for the coming, nay the most distant, generations. A historical revision on a unique scale has been imposed on us by the Creator. Shortly after the end of the campaign in Norway, the German Command was forced, first of all, to ensure the military security of the conquered areas. Since then the defences of the conquered countries have changed considerably. From Kirkenes to the Spanish Frontier there is a belt of great bases and fortifications; many airfields have been built, naval bases and protections for submarines which are practically invulnerable from sea or air. More than 1,500 new batteries have been planned and constructed. A network of roads and railways was constructed so that today communications from the Spanish Frontier to Petsamo are independent of the sea. These installations in no wise fall behind those of the Western Wall, and work continues incessantly on strengthening them. I am irrevocably determined to make the European Front unassailable by any enemy. This defensive work was supplemented by offensive warfare. German surface and underwater naval Forces carried on their constant war of attrition against the British Merchant Navy and the ships in its service. The German Air Force supported these attacks by reconnaissance, by damaging enemy shipping, by numerous retaliatory raids which have given the English a better idea of the so charming war caused by their present Prime Minister. In the middle of last year Germany was supported above all by Italy. For many months a great part of British power weighed on the shoulders of Italy. Only because of their tremendous superiority in heavy tanks could the English create a temporary crisis in North Africa. On 24th March a small community of German-Italian units under Rommel's command began the counter-attack. (Dates on which certain points fell.) The German Africa Corps performed outstanding achievements though they were completely unaccustomed to the climate of this theatre of war. Just as once in Spain, now in North Africa Germans and Italians have taken up arms against the same enemy. While in these bold measures the North African Front was again secured by the blood of German and Italian soldiers, the shadow of a terrible danger threatening Europe gathered overhead. Only in obedience to bitter necessity did I decide in my heart in 1939, to make the attempt, at least, to create the pre-requisites for a lasting peace in Europe by eliminating the causes of German-Russian tension. This was psychologically difficult owing to the general attitude of the German people, and above all, of the Party, towards Bolshevism. It was not difficult from a purely material point of view-because Germany was only intent on her economic interests in all the territories which England declared to be threatened by us and which she attacked with her promises of aid-for you will allow me to remind you that England, throughout the spring and late summer of 1939, offered its aid to numerous countries, declaring that it was our intention to invade those countries and thus deprive them of their liberty. The German Reich and its Government were therefore able to affirm, with a clear conscience, that these allegations were false and had no bearing whatsoever on reality. Add to this the military realization that in case of war, which British diplomacy was to force on the German people a two front war would ensue and call for very great sacrifice. When, on top of all this, the Baltic States and Rumania showed themselves prone to accept the British Pacts of assistance and thus let it be seen that they, too, believed in such a threat, it was not only the right of the Reich Government, but its duty to fix the limits of German interests. The countries in question, and above all, the Reich Government, could not but realize that the only factor which could be a buttress against the East was Germany. The moment they severed their connection with the German Reich, and entrusted their fate to the aid of that Power which, in its proverbial selfishness, has never rendered aid, but always requested it, they were lost. Yet the fate of these countries roused the sympathy of the German people. The winter struggle of the Finns forced on us a feeling mixed with bitterness and admiration. Admiration because we have a heart sensitive to sacrifice and heroism, being a nation of soldiers ourselves: bitterness, because with our eyes fixed on the menacing enemy in the West, and on the danger in the East, we were not in a position to render military assistance. As soon as it became evident that Soviet Russia deduced the right to wipe out the nations living outside the limits of the German sphere of interest, as a result of that limitation of interests our subsequent relations were merely governed by utilitarian considerations, while our reason and feelings were hostile. With every month I became more convinced that the plans of the men in Kremlin aimed at domination and annihilating all Europe. I have had to submit to the nation the full extent of the Russian military preparations. At a time when Germany had only a few divisions in the provinces bordering on Russia it would have been evident to a blind man that a concentration of power of singular and world historic dimensions was taking place, and that not in order to defend something which was threatened, but merely in order to attack an object it did not seem possible to defend. The lightning conclusion of the Western campaign, however, robbed the Moscow overlords of their hope of an early flagging of German power. This did not alter their intentions-it merely led to a postponement of the date on which they intended to strike. In the summer of 1941 they thought the time was ripe. A new Mongolian storm was now to sweep Europe. At the same time, however, Mr. Churchill spoke on the English aspect of the struggle with Germany. He saw fit, in a cowardly manner, to deny that in the secret session of 1940 in the House of Commons that he pointed out that the entry of Russians into the war which was to come in 1941 at the very latest, was the most important factor which would make a successful conclusion of the war possible. This was also to enable England to take the offensive. In the spring of that year, Europe was to feel the full extent of the might of a world power which seemed to dispose of inexhaustible human material and resources. Dark clouds began to gather on the European sky. For, my Deputies, what is Europe? There is no fitting geographical definition of our Continent, but only a national and cultural one. Not the Urals form the frontier of our Continent, but the eternal line which divides the Eastern and Western conceptions of life. There was a time when Europe was that Greek Island into which Nordic tribes had penetrated in order to light a torch for the first time which from then onwards began slowly, but surely to brighten the world of man. When these Greeks repulsed the invasion of the Persian conquerors they did not only defend their homeland, which was Greece, but that idea which we call Europe today. And then Europe traveled from Hellas to Rome. With the Greek spirit and Greek culture, the Roman way of thinking and Roman statesmanship were joined. An Empire was created which, to this day has not been equaled in its significance and creative power, let alone outdone. When, however the Roman legions were defending Rome against the African onslaught of Carthage and at last gained a victory, again it was not Rome they were fighting for, but the Europe of that time, which consisted of the Greek-Roman world. The next incursion against this homestead of European culture
I personally believe the ancient gods (doom dlc) scene: “Don’t you have anything to say to your creator before you Strike Him Down!” “………No” Is the hardest scene because yes the slayer is very hard to relate to but it shows his character development from only speaking when he is in extreme pain to talking knowing that this is it the time where he finally destroys hell after eons of torture. It also symbolises how good always prevails over evil which is he’s a very basic message but if you really think about it it shows him of how he defied his creator and took his life into his own hands. Why the hell did I get philosophical about doom I don’t know

For all of those saying we need a sequel if you listen closely in the music at the end it tells the story of how rango lived out the rest of his day stating he had died but his legend still lives on give it a try
Yeah I think it already had a good ending, it doesn't need a sequel but I would want a spin off for rattlesnake jake like one of the other guys suggested
@@mairidberz1450pixar does realism but it only applies to objects and not characters but in rango the realism applies to EVERYTHING which just makes it look appealing and i don't know why
@nedytolentino5732 it's because with how Pixar does it now the cartoon looking characters look out of place with the super realistic background and objects, toy story 4 and the good dinosaur are good examples of this, with Rango like you said everything went for that style which fit its setting perfectly.
@@mairidberz1450that's not the problem. Puss in Boots 2 looks fantastic. One of the best looking animation of all time. It has no realism. What you're talking about are the art styles and not the quality of animation.
@@Dantestherapist1 Also Interstellar was fucking dogshit, bro. You can't call it one of the "greatest of all time" unless 98% of the other movies are absolute abominations of film. Go back and *pay attention* to Interstellar. I bet you never realized the plot hinges on the government trying to get NASA to help them bomb poor people, NASA saying "No," and then the government saying "OK, well then we won't fund you anymore. Except we *will,* but we'll tell everyone we didn't because you're the bad guys, even though EVERYONE KNOWS that *WE* were the one's that bombed poor people to solve an overpopulation problem, and *you* guys said 'no' when we asked you to help us *BOMB POOR PEOPLE TO SOLVE OVERPOPULATION."* Shut up, bro. Interstellar has *one* scene that *everybody* likes, and then everyone just Mandela Effected themselves into thinking the *whole* movie was that good. Go back and *watch* it again. The film chokes on it's own logic 50 times before they even GET into space.
Rango is actually not just one of Dreamworks most underrated films… But also has the most underrated hero in all of animated history. “Try me.” Those words… That got in deep. Fight me.
In the parched desert of my solitude, Where shadows danced, and dreams were pursued, There came a tale, so wild and strange, A story of a hero's destined change. Amidst the sand, a town stood still, Its inhabitants weary, devoid of thrill. A lone chameleon, with eyes so wide, Stepped forth to face a tumultuous tide. Rango, a wanderer, lost in his own maze, Yearned for purpose, in myriad ways. He sought the truth, in a world untamed, Where facades crumbled, and secrets were named. With voice unsteady, he donned a guise, And took the stage, beneath blazing skies. A stranger to bravery, he embarked on a quest, To save a town, with courage put to the test. As whispers echoed, of water's scarcity, Rango discovered truth, with each step wary. He met villains, fearsome and sly, And danced with danger, under moonlit sky. Through dusty saloons and barren plains, Rango fought the darkness, its relentless chains. The sun watched over, casting a fiery glare, Igniting his spirit, as he embraced the dare. In the heart of chaos, he found a heart true, A spirit of justice, in colors vibrant and new. A friendship forged, amidst fiery strife, And Rango emerged, a hero's life. With a gun drawn steady, and resolve unwavering, He faced his fears, his spirit unchanging. The odds against him, he stood firm and tall, A beacon of hope, for one and all. In the final act, as shadows fell away, Rango shone bright, like a shooting ray. His metamorphosis complete, a legend born, As he stepped into destiny, no longer forlorn. Oh, Rango, a tale of dreams and desires, A journey of self, amidst flickering fires. In the theater of life, your story will remain, A testament to bravery, amidst desert's domain.
I love the last moment with the spirit of the west. His quote is actually so meaningful bc saying ‘people can’t walk out of our own story’ pretty much reminds us once we start something like it or not we have to see it through in our own story.
Rango truly is one of the most legendary movies in animation history. The fact that this wonderfully animated CGI movie had came out in 2011, is proof that Rango was ahead of its time. Also, the "One Bullet" scene gives off pure badass energy.
I love it when Rattlesnake Jake has the moment of reality where people have changed,Rango, changed. It tells us how Jake thinks everyone is one sided and can’t change, and when he’s proven wrong,how finally knows
you can see on Rattlesnake Jake's eyes, his realization that rango was not bluffing. maybe its more of a headcanon, but i truly believe rango was willing to pull the trigger. such an amazing movie
This is one of those movies that wasn't appreciated in ita time. I remember randomly downloading this when I was 13/14 because it was about an animated cowboy chameleon. The movie went right over my head at the time and now rewatching it, gotta say, it's a pretty damn good movie man
As a kid I liked the movie as a 20 year old adult when I watched this movie months back I fell in love! Truly a very detailed perfected movie with the perfect amount of fight scenes the older I’m getting the more I’m appreciating older movies like rango and dozens more I watched as a kid
I watched this movie only once, and I was too young to remember anything about it. Just rediscovered it 6 months from my 18th. Holy hell, this movie was absolutely incredible.
For those who want Rango 2, It has a chance of comming but without rango since if you heard in the Rango theme song, it was mentioned in the ending lyrics that he has passed on and there were even saloons and brothels honoring his name.
@@xninja2369It was mentioned in the last parts of the Rango Theme Song about rango passing on and being memorialized by Brothels and Saloons. Apparently the saloons and brothels were in a town called Durango (maybe?). The lyrics mention "He lived as he died, A six gun at his side, And all the ladies cried for Rango."
