FREE 7 Instant Tips for Confident & Composed Public Speaking: www.alexanderlyon.com/free-resources

I like how he refers to his future self as his hero. What a great and self-caring and embracing way to hold self-esteem.

Intelligent, sincere and funny.. can't miss!!

I remember a university speech, and from then I knew that he was an eloquent orator. Proud of people who can tell a story. It makes people’s life bit more satisfying

That is a BEAUTIFUL man!

His new book "Greenlights" is a great read. Every page just screams "him".

His book "green lights" is absolutely amazing. I listened to it in audio book form, and had me hanging on every word.

I started watching your videos with, one of many, Bill Gates interviews. I learned so much from your dissection from that one interview that it lead me down a path to listen to more reviews. This is the first time I have commented and maybe the last, but I wanted to than you now in case I don’t do so later. Your instructions from the interviews and speeches have helped me in commenting on different KZread channels and I’m sure they have helped others to whether it be interviews, speeches or even commenting as I do. Once again, I thank you for your knowledge and for sharing your knowledge. God Bless you and yours.

Same here, searching Bill Gates vaccines and found this channel. Been watching back to back videos on this channel for the past 2 hours.....

His speech should have been nominated for an Oscar.

He's an ACTOR. This is the role he plays to create charisma and keep the public happy.

You are correct. When you are an actor, say only what is allowed to be said.

Excellent Review 100% spot on! Great speech, he had everyone hanging on his every word, great body language and movement, he was 'dancing' a bit but i think it added to his speech........like a boxer sizing up his opponent, great voice and he emphasised his accent when he needed to, the stories were great and i love it when people give a bit of themselves and mimic others such as he did for his Dad. He believes in himself and those around him and i bet a lot of people in the audience went away feeling better about themselves or motivated to make a difference by his speech.

He nailed it.

An absolutely wonderful speech. Thanks for breaking it down. I can’t imagine being this calm and sure of my message even if I had practiced it a million times. Anxiety and self consciousness is paralyzing and delays me so often. Thank you for the great videos!

"Allright, Allright, Allright" was an ad lib by Matt. He tells a story about listening to The Doors and how Jim Morrison said the phrase between each song on the recording of a live concert. He said it fit right in line with what his character was about, His nice car, having a good high, rock and roll, and women.

He is a man. I understand he is thinking about a political career. I do not know his politics, but it would be tough not to pull the lever for a man like this.

#2 brought me to tear up, it was really emotional & could tell he was being honest. Thank you for sharing this👍

First seek our father in heaven and his justice and everything will be added godbless everyone amen

Fantastic analysis of his speech and thanks for pointing out the structure and breaking it down.

Hi, Taylor. Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate it.

McConaughey's one of the great masters of working a crowd. 2 staples of showbiz: always finish strong and leave 'em wanting more!

another great review and amazing insight. My favorite aspects of this is the silence of the audience, they are transfixed on his every word and he 100% has everyone's attention in that room.

What a great acceptance speech ! Congratulations to him on winning this award. Well deserved. > I remember McConaughey in the suspenseful sci fi film “ CONTACT “ ( 1997 ) - > I knew he was special then …

"And that friend is YOU"... He's admitting that he knows that his God is self-created. He goes on to say he's his own hero. He believes in having a strong ego. He thanks his mom for demanding he respect himself. Functionally, he's a secular humanist, who believes in himself. The whole God thing is misdirection, a way of appearing humble, despite his message of self- affirmation. Dale Carnegie couldn't have said it any better. Self confidence is the bedrock of charisma.

Thanks for stating where the Alright Alright Alright term came from. I'm too old to have seen every movie. What you missed: Along with the threepeat ender, he opened with Thank You Thank You Thank You. Clever.

You should give a LISTEN to his autobiography "Greenlights". He narrates the audiobook and by the end, you feel like he's one of your best friends.

His so-called authenticity feels very self-aware, with moments of it being too self-aware. I don't think he's contrived, but it does feel as though he's a brand, pushing his brand persona. Not that there's anything wrong with that

@calebergh

Authenticity. There's nothing so satisfying as to see someone regardless of position be truly authentic. When he choked up talking about his wife and kids, it was evident he was being fully authentic.

@sevinstorey4365

1. He’s not afraid to call by name, God, or what he believes is his understanding of a higher power. Whether you are a believer or not it’s obvious Mac is. He doesn’t throw any judgement or warnings to others if they don’t believe, he just leaves it out there that his God is his strength. 2. Family. Being that he almost broke up mentioning his wife is a clear indicator that she has helped him tremendously and that he deeply loves and needs her and the things she has brought to him. 3. Southern accents for some reason always seem more sincere. He doesn’t hide it and he actually uses it to convey a genuine feeling that what he is telling you is rock solid and he is grounded enough and secure to the point he is proud of it. Mac appears by all situations to be the real person, what you see is what you get. You cannot fake that.

He is cute and very charming, :>)

This review of Matthew McConaughey was very interesting. I appreciate your impression of his authenticity because I have always viewed him as somewhat unauthentic. Makes me question why I see him that way. I think McConaughey's extreme, almost exaggerated, confidence, in your face eye contact and perma smile made him seem disingenuous, untrustworthy, like a used car salesman. But now, after hearing your thoughts, I'm viewing his communication behaviors maybe as more of a goal to strive for. Still processing, though.

Indeed, if he wasn't handsome he would be considered smarmy, he seems to be able to pull it off though as he does in longer interviews seem a genuine and authentic person. He is an actor though of course.

Like anybody cares.

I stopped watching these "Award Shows". Mostly, because of the winning/whiney actors etc. bringing their politics into the program. This was inspiring and l believe him. He does live his life this way.

Dr Falsie during questioning by Jim Jordon, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul etc..... GOD Bless

Believe he was thanking the acting coach Charlie Laughton, not the long-deceased actor.

Matthew had an awesome interview with Jordan Peterson ..and I dont like hollywoke at all anymore ....but this guy is alright

Being from Europe, the Netherlands specifically, I cringed watching his speech. It must be a culture thing. Be happy with it, be proud, but I don't buy it. 🤝🏻🇳🇱

I think it means when you've got God in your life there's the grace to be a friend to yourself instead of a critic. But I've never seen the original film he was quoting from.

I liked him until I watched him in an interview and how flippant he was about homeless people. Not that he was bagging them but it was so out of touch with how under privileged people live. He's very charismatic but I find him just a tad egocentric.

God isn’t a HE! Amazing speech and analysis though. Thank you!

What part of the U.S. or the world are you from? You're from a community where you go swinging a cat by its tail??! Weird expression, never heard it. Btw, I grew up in L.A. since age 10 and whether you swing a cat or something else, you will not hit an actor most of the time so... not sure why you felt the need to exaggerate that.

Wow is he egotistical. So sad.

You should work on YOUR voice, it’s weak. You sound like you are going to cry any minute.
