#AlPacino
Ah the irony... The blind man is the only one who can truly see.
ew shut up....
@@godblessdumplings what do you mean ew 😂😂
Justice is blind
Well spoken rocky this is real irony here
damn right
Best line in the movie " "there is nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit, there is no prosthetic for that"
Wow. So true.
Extremely powerful
And the next line in context: You think you're merely sending this splendit foot soldier back home to Oregon with his tail between his legs but I say you are executing his SOUL!!! That hit me like a bus
Best line in the movie, "There Is Nothing Like The Site Of An Amputated Spirit. There is no prosthetic for that
Slade had an amputated spirit . Charlie saved him from that
I remember watching this video a year ago when I was struggling.. Seeing this has brought tears to my eyes. I live much different life now and this video is still here to remind me of how far I have come. Never give up in life. No condition is permanent
I hope you are better now really sorry you had to go through whatever it is you went through
Times are tough. Tough people outlast tough times however. I'm glad you took whatever opportunity that presented itself and overcame your struggles.
@@tethervest836 You're right friend. We're all not born with the silver spoon, but we have to craft ours. My divorce almost ended my life. I had almost nothing to fall back to. I found out the hard way, savings are overrated. Thank God for chance and a stroke of luck
If you don't find a means of multiplying money you will wake up to nothing one day, thanks to inflation and uncertainties. Nothing beats equities
So how did you pull it off?
"There is nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit" really sticks out to me as a great line.
And the follow-up: "There is no prosthetic for that." It really caps it off wonderfully.
Agreed! A great line. Still resonates.@@laythbarzangi8477
This speech is exactly how I feel about neo-New York City
"I never took the right path, because it was too. damn. hard." a timeless message.
The right path is subjective. My idea of right path is doing everything how Jesus would have. To another it might be to have sued someone with a false claims they had a case on, or even stiffing friends or employees for extra pocket money. Crazy how differently we all think. Most important thing in life to me is to truly love everyone. Wish the best for all, hold no grudges. Show mercy when we can...judge how we want to be judged. Yes the law has to punish in certain cases severely, but always love this people too. Take no joy in their suffering. Be thankful it isn't you, and you see those issues more clearly then they did. You are blessed to see truth when you see it!
@@TheMovieEditor love this. Hope you continue on your journey and have the strength to face any crossroads ahead.
It is a conundrum that line. I remember hearing when I was in my late teens. But it is an inspiring bit of cinema, an he deserved best actor in 93.
@@TheMovieEditor so the right path is not getting married or having a child. Great.
@@25756881 Might be true in some cases. Not everyone is mentally fit for marriage or children but as the bible tells us both are a good thing and part of his plan for us to do and enjoy. Remember Jesus didn't come here himself to be fruitful and multiply he came to seek and to save. His blood was for you.
"There is nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit" - this line is very sad.
there is no prosthetic for that.. just a very powerful and sad line..
So true.
it made me cry; it makes me cry
A shouty Al Pacino is a great Al Pacino!
Absolutely 🔔🔨
He won't sell anyone out to buy his future and that's called integrity!!!! .... best monologo ever
Pacino at his best. Never over the top. Every word, every inflection, was note perfect. Everything is exactly where it’s supposed to be, and delivered with a precise melody.
Never over the top? Pacinos middle name is over the top.
@@mikecantreed I’m talking about only this movie. He was note perfect.
@@mikecantreedI was gonna say, I don’t think I can think of a movie he’s in where he isn’t screaming 😂
"Because she's got a great AAAASS!!!!" Sorry, couldn't resist😜
@@willm678Um... The Godfather?
The tone, the delivery, the way he looks, the not blinking, the way he stands up at the beginning searching for the stick, the raising his voice at the right moments. Pacino is truly an outstanding actor and for those (thankfully) few people who think this is “over the top”, this is a bitter, depressed to the point of suicide, blind military man who is feeling alive again, this rage, this passion is making him feel alive and Pacino represents this, along with a great script, perfectly imo.
couldn't have said it better
Word up
This is not an act.
I honestly can't imagine someone playing his part better than Pacino...I mean, who could pull it off like he did?
@@yearginclarke i could def see Jack Nicholson crushing it. but Pacino got it done!
"there is nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit, there is no prostethic for that." Damn, thats deep
So deep When your soul's broken There's nothing left
What Does it means plz explain
Deep and true....
@@ankitsolanki1358 no replacing a lost spirit IMO

You can tell all the extras in the audience are absolutely mesmerized by al pacino. Even though they know he is acting, they can’t help themselves getting pulled into it.
Just when they thought they were out, too.
What can you say about Al Pacino , his brilliance, his powerful acting, the wonder that this man is ? He’s all of that and more. Bravo Mr Pacino Bravo , earned him the Oscar, now that’s something to write home about.
@@EnemaBagJones24601THEY pull me back innnn
This scene/speech gives me chills. Pacino at his very best.
There are not enough movies like that anymore.
Amen
The 90s waa 90s
@sightinsight what a bunch of bullshit lol just search for good movies,you will find a lot of 'em. But you wanna see movies like this making more money and publicity than marvel movies? If yes,you're living on some alternative reality hahah
@sightinsight just research, man. You'll find great movies coming out.
There are My Left Foot, The Edge of Seventeen, The Breakfast Club and Billy Elliot. Don’t know if they’re similar to Scent of a Woman but still great Coming-Of-Age Sagas
This scene actually won him the Oscar. One of the best in the history.
nasashahid Absolutely ⭐️
Hooooyyaaaaaa
Academy Award for Best Scene?
I'm afraid he can't win it any longer! He's not black! 😂😂
Imo it's a bit over the top.
This is not just a movie, this is a work of Art.
film is art bro....
It's a masterpiece
I remember watching this with my dad 10 years ago. He was drunk and told me this is one of the best pieces of acting he’d seen, he was glued to the screen. He said I’d appreciate it when I’m older. I’m 21 now and I teared up watching this.
Im I'm waaaay older than that and a father myself. The older you get, the better this movie is...and matters.
this is the greatest monologue in any movie ever.
You got that right!!!!🤔😏
Not even the best inthe movie tho the "im in the dark here" is way better
This is totally and pure crap, just a stupid speech about not saying the truth of an act of vandalism that some guys that are not even your friends made in front of you
Nope..... charlie chaplin the great dictator speech is single handed the GREATEST Monologue let alone speech ever created
It was the greatest that year, hence the Oscar win. Not the greatest ever
Pacino in his prime. God I miss this generation of actors....and movies. So powerful with words, speeches....
I'm in my late twenties, and my sister is about to hit 18. And we were actually discussing this. Just talking about how we feel like there's no one really in our age range that's in film right now that has such an impact as Pacino, De Niro excetera
This was one of two of the best movies made in the early 80's and 90's, the other was "A Few Good Men", that film had the great Jack Nicholson in it while this had Al Pacino, both actors at the top of their game, ability seeping out of every pore they set a standard that the actors now still find hard to come near enough to even get a glimpse of.
Geoffrey James the movies came from early 90’s . But you are right the court scene in a few good men and this scene are one of the best scenes in movies .
For a second you can see how impressed everyone is at Al going at it full steam.
J024 look st Chris O’Donnell face .
One of the greatest movies ever! Al Pacino deserved the Oscar for this performance!
Pacino never served in tne Armed Forces but he certainly channeled the spirit of a soldier in this performance. Kudos to whomever wrote this scene.
"There is nothing like a sight of an amputated spirit there is no prosthetic for that".
Dark tendencies are part of its design.
just like greeks this time
Barz!!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Marvin Martin, sure. An almighty ‘source’ that is enabled to bring any person, place, and/or thing into existence or extinction within any worldly and biological construct can certainly prevent or mitigate any momentous occurrence at any time and anywhere along its synchronous, space-time chronology. Serial killers like Ted Bundy can be afflicted with life ending aneurisms after any one of their victims has had their spirit amputated. In my mind, the failure to act conflicts with the notion that an all knowing, an all good, and an almighty ‘force’ also merits a large faction of the world’s population to equivocally refer to it as ‘God, The Father’. Within the same metaphysics, it appears to me that a past time amusement such as watching motion pictures for entertainment purposes and that pertain to a genre entitled horror is not an exclusive component of entertainment that is solely humanities. Time may change that.
Marvin Martin, this response is to your most recent submittal prior to the time stamped herein. I need to point out that you are not hearing me - you’re reading what I have texted prior to my revised and final version. Anyhow, confusion can stem from a combination of parts. One could be my style of write and my approach of revising a write for the purpose of rectifying literary anomalies I identify after posting it. Meanwhile, you’re trying to discern an unfinished version. I should write elsewhere, then post when ready. I apologize for not doing that. Another part that contributes towards confusion stems from you not differentiating which sense you’re actually utilizing in your discernment. To minimize confusion, in general, one needs to be more cognizant. By one, I mean those involved in any thoughtful exchange. Anyhow, how did we get to here? You asked for me to elaborate. If you ask a specific questions then expect to receive a more specific response. The main idea of the initial comment is ‘there aren’t any prosthetics for an amputated spirit’. Thus, anytime one attempts to explain spirit with respect to any tangible context of design, one shouldn’t expect to ‘hear’ “Al Pacino performs with dark intentions well”. I suppose what I’m eluding to is it’s not your fault, nor mine, you’re confused. It’s a matter of a differentiated ability to discern and an anticipated expectation one may pre-maturely have.

But Not A Snitch 😂.. I always loved how he got straight to it
Headmaster: Excuse me? Frank Slade: No, I don't think I will. Damn, that was a hell of big answer.
In Ukrainian translation it is translated as "I don't think one can excuse this" thus making it sound even more badass.
@@OrkosUA shit, Idk if that speech can be beaten.
I love that line.
"Why do I hear boss music?"

I was one of the kids sitting in the audience for this. As an aspiring actor and filmmaker at that time I got the call to do some extra work on a film. It was this exact scene. The shoot lasted all week. Amazing to watch Pacino - one of the true acting legends of our time...
How many takes did it take? Give us more details!!
@@spain1998 Oh I didn't think anyone would care. :). Filming Pacino's speech took days because it was so long and I think he struggled to remember it all. I would never be able to!
@@spain1998 And I wonder if people remember that a young, future Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman was also in that scene as the baddie opposite Chris O'Donnell. Also a brilliant actor
The late, great Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
@@RICKONORATO Really wonderful to have an eyewitness account. I am a bit surprised about how long it took to shoot the scene. The speech isn't that long, is it? Next to Shakespeare live on stage, for instance? I was fortunate enough to see Daniel Day-Lewis playing Hamlet at the National Theatre in London in 1989 when I was 17. Three hours long, he had hundreds and hundreds of lines, but he never missed a beat. Not once. And he was also electrifying (actually pretty scary at times!).
Al pacino speaking should always make any list of greatest monologs ever
The best shots in this scene is of the young boys , looking at him while he speaks
"He won't sell anybody out to buy his future!!" I. Love. That. Scentence.
i smell a pun here.

I friggin loved this movie so much. I was 23 at the time. My boyfriend and I went to see it again the next day ! The things you did before computers entertained you. 🙏
It's a message that a LOT of people need to hear. It happens way too often in this society.
my wife is blind and the way Mr. Al Pacino eyes look in this movie is spot on. not looking toward whom he's speaking to but looking at directions where sounds emits.
Ive been curious about his portrayal's accuracy, so thank you for this comment. I wonder how hard it must be to replicate something so foreign to anyone who is not blind. Anyway, thank you again!
I read that he was trained by a school for the blind to prepare himself for this role. Quite an amazing job he did
as someone who hasnt seen the movie, i was wondering why he looked like he was staring off into space. dead-on portrayal
FUN FACT..... Al was asked in an interview once how he pulled that off. his response was I FOCUSED ON NOT FOCUSING ON ANYTHING , not even for a moment
@@martinkuliza Thanks! I love this thread cause I adore him in this film and I’ve always wondered how he did it. Thanks again to @FrancisSpeak Life for sharing his story and starting this
Al Pacino was so great in this movie, he really deserved his Oscar for it.
A brilliant actor shows us what a real man is like.
I’m most impressed by how long he refrained from blinking
Unless you Try and See while Acting....You'll ever Know how a hard it is🙏
His eyes were ready like tearing up and shit and he still didnt blink al pacinos a legend
demonic
It is the essence of good acting. All or nothing. I'm sure there were quite a few re-takes too but I understand exactly what you expressed Tony. Very impressive. I really enjoyed this movie. It's one of my all time greats.
He did blink
One of the most powerful speeches in cinema history
I agree.
But his speech on humanity in devil's advocate is amazing too.
And also alpacino speech in "any given sunday".
Totaly agree
2nd only to...YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
Just imagine sitting next to one of the greatest actors to ever walk the Earth and getting to witness this electrifying performance.
This monologue from Pacino, along with And Justice For All, are the best examples of why he's one of the greatest actors of all time.

Pacino nailed it. Everyone who’s ever had to deal with an academic bureaucracy has wanted, at some point in time, to: “....put a FLAMETHROWER to this place...” Immortal.

Give me the chills.
OUTSTANDING cinema. He earned the Oscar several times over.
This delivery gave me chills the first time I heard it and it still does.
"And Harry, Jimmy, Trent wherever you are out there. Fuck you too!" Best line in the movie.
There were no actors except Al Pacino in this scene : Everyone was just genuinely impressed by him.
The tone of his voice, professionalism. Integrity and holding his body
I'll Second That, The Rest of the Cast Were Taken Notes!
So apart from Pacino it was just extras??? Wow..... they were impressed...... I'd be finding a place to hide when he started shouting. Superb film
on the stage is an actor that won an oscar too....Hoffman
He wasn't acting tho..
One of the best actors of all time
I've listened to this so many times that I know it by heart. It is such a perfect speech. It is so briliant and so moving. It has eveything. It is genius in its core as it wins the argument so flawlessly. Instead of focusing on what happened he expands it to the bigger issue. It doesnt matter whether Charlie is wrong or not. It's not the point. He makes the point that whatever the truth is, he has integrity, he has principles, he has a moral basis. It is so brilliant even from a legal standpoint to just rexamine eveyrhing from an angle they didn't even consider... And he continues. There are larger things at stake. People will make mistakes but who do you trust long term... Who do you want to be in that position... Someone who won't sell out... It is one of a kind. So inspiring.
"Mr. Slade, You are out of order!" "Say Hello to my little friend!"

Yeah but I'm pretty sure that is illegal in most states.
@@ccdogpark Elon did it
Simply beautiful. Pacino did an excellent performance. Speaking about damning a righteous soul is when those willing to defend it throw themselves in front of it to protect it. Regardless of what happens to them. It is something precious to uphold and to protect. A brilliant performance portrayed here in this excellent scene
Whoever wrote this speech is pure genius!!! Al delivered it perfectly. I just love him! What an amazing, talented actor!! #1
Today, you can see those "leaders" Frank Slade warned us about, everywhere!
Indeed my friend ! Al Pacino warned us all , we just couldn't know it till now , now it's too late .
No joke!
Was thinking the same thing. Trump was a Baird man, perhaps. Product of private schools. Like Betsy De Vos
People with amputated spirits, who sell out our future for theirs, and then convince us that it was the right thing to do. How long can we stand when the spirit of our legs is cut?
Yup! Everywhere in Washington DC...

The powers that be simply do not want young people inspired anymore. They don't want influential people, creative people that can change the status quo... People are easier to control if they all think the same way, or given a choice of two with one ridiculed and ostracized. This is why we see manufactured music, marketing, politicians, films, social media and algorithms, and most recently prescribed agendas hidden under emotive labels such as 'Equality'. Now we see one main genre of music, film and media and even principles and ways of life... Filled with constant mis conceptions and hypocrisy... Our way or the wrong way... With any free or critical thinking seen as paranoid, conspiracy theories, snowflakes or bigots... And the public support it. Sad.

@@BiggatyBig 100% spot on, brother.
I’m only ever going to say this once in my entire life; no actor no other actor can ever top Pacino. I’m sorry, but I am extremely grateful to be living in this generation, where he is still with us for the meantime. He is absolutely a legend to the film industry. 🙏🏼❤️
Amazing and spectacular are not enough to describe Al Pacino’s performance here. This man has the most expressive eyes. You remember his performances by his eyes. But in this scene his eyes are blind. Still, his face expressed the emotions perfectly with such touching subtlety.
"No, I'm just getting warmed up" the most badass line a man could say in a scene like this
He's just finished his opening statement.
That. Or “Are you through?”
Serving in the military does this to a man. No fear
My favorite line in the movie.
„No, I don’t think I will” was better
Breaks my heart that legends like this is getting older and leaving us slowly, there will never be actors like this again.

Stinkmeaner what's your problem? Prick.
This scene is a masterclass in everything - acting, tone modulation, dialogue delivery all so perfectly done. Al Pacino is truly 1 of the greatest actors ever ❤🔥
this is no acting, this is truly living
Pacino: Ok director, on a scale of Michael Corleone to Tony Montana, how much do you want me to Pacino? Director: Look, it's the 90s... ppl are gonna love it regardless. Just say your lines. Pacino: Welp, time to update the Pacinometer.

Chris O'Donnell plays this scene with a perfect blend of terror, fascination, and admiration
Chris was a perfect foil for Al
Agreed
O'Donnell is a terrible actor. He's even worse than Pacino in this film.
@@johndeagle4389 get yourself a life.
That, more than anything else, SELLS this scene. Pacino is TELLING the story, but the real heart and meat of the scene is watching the REACTIONS. Chris O'Donnell's takes here are gold. Obviously Pacino's acting is outstanding, pure Pacino (he just needs the Cuban accent of Scarface or the Puerto Rican flavor from Carlito's Way, lol), but it's the relationship between Slade and Charlie that is the ONLY reason this scene works, and O'Donnell's vulnerability, innocence, and awkwardness are the canvas Pacino paints this monologue on.
I think most of us had at least one episode in our lives where we wished someone like Frank Slade took a stand by us like that. Not for victory or for glory, but to know what it's like when someone steps up to defend you when you're powerless to do so on your own.

Khorothis well said
When did that happen for you?
VERY well said.
Well said mate, so the case.
Pacino is absolutely superb in this scene. Even staring into nothing you would really be convinced he was blind. What an actor.
"Are you finished ?" - "No, I'm just getting warmed up..."
That’s what she said
@@nuclearnadal4869 that's what he said
@@parleseniortv2685 Noooo.... it's what 'She' said... trust me dude... 😉👍
“Excuse me?” “No, I don’t think I will!”
Borrowed from Howard Hughes when addressing senator Brewster during the funding hearings by US senate. Slightly different context though...
Warpedsmac thank you!
@@Warpedsmac that's a fun fact
“Excuse me?” “No, I don’t think I will!”
great line, i need to use that on jerks !
Al is absolute f-ing gold! Heck.. no.. He’s Platinum!
“I’m just getting warmed up!”
"You are EXECUTING HIS SOUL!" That line always cuts so deep. The amount of emotion put into it, just pure class.
😢
Yes...the most touchable words in this speech, and what a deep and sincere tone were said that words..
Pure class! I cried at that scene.
no prosthetic for an amputated spirit
And the way he said it. O my god.
A master performance by arguably the greatest actor of all times. More importantly, his lecture rings so true and applies to all people in the real world.
What's crazy is that Bob Evans didn't want the young Pacino to play Michael in the Godfather. The world is lucky that Coppola pressed really hard to get him into that role.
I highly recommend The Offer if you haven't seen it yet.
It reminds me of Trump telling off the Freeloading EU, NATO Goons and corrupt Democrats...Buck Fiden
Damn right. Great actor. They dont make them like that anymore.
Best actor of all time
No one could ever make it better than Alpacino. Words touched our hearts and made us feel sorry for those who don't have someone to stand for.
No! I'm just getting warmed up! 💪👊
A glimpse of the massive talent of Pacino.Anyone who thinks acting is easy take a good look at this scene.He cant even afford a blink.A massive talent a great bit of cinema.Awesome.
Agreed
entertainment. your of millions outmaking b want integrity that of man REAL a celebrating about how, butMaybe
Pacino*
No background score, no distracting visuals of other characters. Pure talent holding an entire room full of other actors in rapt attention and pin drop silence.
@alex haes his character was blind in the movie...
One of (if not) THE most powerful monologues in all of film history. Goosebumps every time I watch it.
Correct Sir. My all-time fav 9 minutes ever put on film.
It has to be learned in school. The principles of freedom. And what is the meaning of freedom in a warrior way. Not just a speacher or a thinker, a fighter way. About life, about being a man, not a male. Who cares, this is life . And...in this life one thing is a little bit difficult, only the first hundred years. Sooo, enjoy your life, is beautiful and ...very short. Take a breath, enjoy it.
Pacino is over rated
@@BIG_Z_69 Says the drone with zero life accomplishments. STFU
Meh
One of Al Pacino's best performances
My best movie ever played by the greatest actor to ever do it..
Not even going to question why this showed up in my recommended list.
watching any westworld stuff? No clue why this showed up for me either, but the video I was watching was 3 days old, and this comment is 3 days old? Half life 3 confirmed?
Im just as confused as you.
@@SoBeDragon0 Was wondering the same thing and yeah been watching Westworld breakdowns. Not that it bothers me. I'll watch me a Pacino scene any time.
Matt S. Hahahah I feel this
i know !!! Rightt.....
But not a snitch!!!
Rare breed this day in age now!
No dear I don't never done that.. whh,? Dumbass I recn.
Facts lol
"Excuse me?" No, I don't think will.
A class act sitting next to me
The expression on the faces of Jimmy, Harry and Trent when they're told to f**k off is priceless...
The best alpacino deserves to be in the walk of fame. He really goes in to the character. No the funny thing is that the things is said is truth. Rich kids..just get away with everything or anything..a poor kid hard working kid they use him on the unjustified..an his powerful word's just says the truth.
Not only is this an absolutely monstrous performance by Pacino, maybe his best, but it's exceptional scriptwriting as well, just exceptional.
He is x genius. Great actor. One of his best.
His best is hands down godfather
I think his best performance is in HEAT but ok....
@@harleyrider76 Cause she gotta Bi-- GREAT ASS!!
2:32 "I been around, You know" Always liked how he delivered that line.
Followed up with his sentiments about flamethrowers :)
United Nations explained.Thanks.
Al added a dash of southern flavor to that line!!!😉👍🏽
A perfect way of putting Headmaster Trask in his place... "Who the hell do you think you are talking to?" I'm NOT one of these kids. DON'T tell me I'm out of order, I'm NOT the one!
@@seagoer118 😁omg! I love it..
I tear every time I listen to this
I rewatched this movie when I became older and it just gives me goosebumps.
