Patton's speech to the Third Army is my favorite. George C. Scott did a pretty good version of it in the movie, but it was too 'cleaned up' I thought.

This is more of a talk than a speech, but something about it really resonated with me when I first it and I have watched it so many times again.

This is not the greatest speech ever, but its a great movie and a great little speech. Michael Douglas is boss.

I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...

Hitler's speeches were empty of content, his voice scratchy and his charisma non-existent. In many ways he was the ultimate demagogue. Originally Posted by Endre

I'm not trying to praise Hitler, but there's a reason why he rose to power and was even voted Times magazine person of the year back then before the holocaust began, and it was mainly because he was such a great speech giver. When people look back at that time and Hitler of course they're biased because of the horrors he did and therefore try to diminish his skills giving a speech Originally Posted by Xelk

Hitler was a populist. His manner, appearance, composure and aggression was absolutely spot on to attract the disenfranchised, uneducated, masses of the lower classes. Originally Posted by Xelk

It's one of Hans Zimmer's best pieces and fits the speech perfectly. Originally Posted by Sthu

The first one is long but well worth it and really is one of the better things I have ever watched. The 2nd one is just funny and a little levity is needed sometimes.

Mostly because the words "I'm sorry for fucking over this country for the foreseeable future." weren't present. Originally Posted by Thwart
