Great Movie Speeches/Rants...

No offence taken, don't worry. But One flew over the cuckoos nest is really an excellent movie, the Indian is just one character. Surely it's tag line is around Jack and Nurse Rachett/the system-he's pushing it (the system) to get his own way, no one thinks he's crazy-Rachett just seems a nasty bitch. But after all the twists, ultimately you're left with a question-Was she right, was he crazy?he tried to kill her after all. Or was it her spite that just made him snap, maybe she was crazy? There's much more to it than you say, and the acting throughout is wonderful-some great debuts there, Danny Devito, Christopher Lloyd. Anyway, Fight Club sucks as far as I am concerned-Why didn't they join a boxing school, or become hoodlums if they wanted a scrap? JUK[/quote]

Well I'll give you that their were a few good performances in the supporting roles and maybe I just need to give it another viewing with a more open mind.

The reason they joined this club was to break away from the rules and confinements of any ordinary school or gang. It was on their own terms and to their own needs and uses, but the next step of this "club" was what was primarily being worked towards and you didn't finish the movie, so you didn't get the whole picture of where it was going.

To each his own!

what's this film about?

Basically...Ed Norton's character gets busted for selling drugs. He is sentenced to jail for like 10 years and it shows his last day as a free man.
It's a simple idea, but a great movie.
Tremendous dialog and extremely well written.
Trust me...it's a great movie!

But my favorite 15/20 of a movie is the part with Mr. X(Donald Sutherland) in 'JFK'. He talks about how he was one of those secret guys in the pentagon and talks about what really happened in Dallas and the coverup. Even though it was all a bunch of bullshit, it was great fiction. I know it almost word for word.

"You guys, having some satanic guitar pick isn't gonna make your rock any better... because Satan's not in a guitar pick, he's inside all of us. In here...
in your hearts. He's what makes us not want to go to work, or exercise, or tell the truth. He's what makes us want to party and have sex with each other all night long. He's that little voice in your mind that says "Fuck you" to the people you hate. Now you can stay out here and fight on the ground and cry like babies, or you can go in there like friends and rock. So, what's it gonna be?"

"Do you smell that? Napalm son. Nothing else on the world smells like that...I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Y'know, once we had a hail bomb....12 hours....and when it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of them, not one stinking dink body. That smell, y'know that gasoline smell...the whole hill. Smelled like....Victory. Some day this war is gonna end..."

Al Pacino as Lt. Col. Frank Slade in The Scent of a Woman

Out of order, I show you out of order. You don't know what out of order is, Mr. Trask. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too fuckin' blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place! Out of order? Who the hell do you think you're talkin' to? I've been around, you know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there isn't nothin' like the sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that. You think you're merely sending this splendid foot soldier back home to Oregon with his tail between his legs, but I say you are... executin' his soul! And why? Because he's not a Bairdman. Bairdmen. You hurt this boy, you're gonna be Baird bums, the lot of ya. And Harry, Jimmy, Trent, wherever you are out there, FUCK YOU TOO!
