Independence Day
« on: July 22, 2004, 04:28:33 am »
I ws watching part of this last night on F/X.

I forgot how much I love this movie.......it rules.....

and Bill Pulman's speech near the end.....possibly the best speech in a movie ever.........

                                Good morning.  In less than one
                   hour planes from here and all
      around the world will launch the
      largest aerial battle in the
      history of mankind...
      Mankind.  The word has new meaning
      for all of us now.  We are
      reminded not of our petty
      differences but of our common
      interests.

      Perhaps it's fate that today, July
      the Fourth, we will once again
      fight for our freedom.  Not from
      tyranny, persecution or
      oppression.  But from
      annihilation.  We're fighting for
      our right to live, to exit.  From
      this day on, the fourth day of
      July will no longer be remembered
      as an American holiday but as the
      day that all of mankind declared
      we will not go quietly into the
      night.  We will not vanish without
      a fight.  We will live on.  We
      will survive.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

in this case...it was Roland Emerich...writer and director of the movie....

usually, the person who writes the movie, writes the speech....seems kinna logical right?   :razz:
