Speech was okay and masterfully delivered by Pacino, but not a patch on Pete Postlethwaite's in Brassed Off.
Pacino is a brilliant actor. This role showed how much of a range he has. His stage presence is monumental.

He completely took over the whole movie despite the cast being full of brilliant talent.
Charlie saved Col. Slade’s life. Slade figured that speaking on his behalf was the very least he could do.

mr pacino is amazing as tears rolll down my face- thank you sir for this great message- ex militrary police
The tone. Depth. The voice
“You better be careful what type of leaders you’re producing”
Movies like this, and Dead Poet Society, Good Will Hunting and a few more I forgot was created with the focus of showcasing the right attitude and ideals which young boys should follow to become proper young men. These movies should be considered gems.
Now without the shadow of a doubt! This is one of the greatest actor of our time. Just so many different roles, different personalities played to perfection!
Pretty sure that speech is why he finally got the Oscar.
Chris O’Donnell’s facial expressions are marvelous. He shows his fear, apprehension, and gratitude just by his eyes.
Great to see a leader standing. UP for a POTENTENTIAL LEADER with merit, character is more important than reputation
Everyone there was in awe of this performance even Chris O’Donnell just staring almost forgetting he is in a movie for a moment, I bet everyone there sorta zoned out too.
One of the greatest moment in movie and only Al Pacino could do!!❤❤
Even the GLIMMER of his eyes moving and SHIVERING like a REAL BLIND man. What else you want from an actor 👏
I wish the new audiences learn to appreciate the quality of acting that Al Pacino delivers here. This scene alone makes him an Oscar winner, his entire performance here is unique
A normal-sighted person makes you believe that he is truly blind, by looking directly at his eyes, is a tremendously incredible acting skill!

Heard in one of the interviews, it was his daughter taught/ suggested him to do the "blind" look
Fun fact. I'm legally blind with limited vision. When Al was rehearsing for this part, he went to blind schools. He observed how the blind walk, the differences in their facial expressions, etc. An absolute thespian and a fellow New Yorker.

No way it can top his performance in The Godfather 1 and 2 though. But agreed. The range of his capabilities.
Let’s just assume about what happened after the movie ended “The 3 boys were later expelled for committing another heinous prank, Willis Jr would leave the school after being shunned for his actions, and Trask was dismissed for conduct unbecoming of an educator. Slade would later marry Ms Downs, and Sims would become a phenomenal district attorney with Slade as his mentor.”
Incredible Al Pacino performance Love this move!
Al Pacino is tha man!
Always captivated by this scene no matter how much times I’ve seen it.
So many years ....and still whenever I watch it, it feels so great...classic
This speech contains so much wisdom it blows my mind!
Rumor has it this scene was done in one take! That’s insane if true!
Al Pacino squeezed by me at the Aldwych Theatre in London. We were both there to see The Rise and Fall of Little Voice. In a way, I think that makes us best friends. Although it was 32 years ago and he ain't called.
And Harry, Jimmy, Trent wherever you are out there , 3:40
This was always my favorite scene
Greatest movie speech EVER!
You gave me back my life. I give you back your future.
Best film ever. I’ve seen it a hundred times and still brings tears to my eyes

I got a question. I’ve only read the overview of the film but from what I got, is Charlie really in the right here. Yes, the teacher bribed him but if the students do the prank then why stay silent? Even though technically the prank was wrong, I’d get it if they were mates but, from this scene, it doesn’t look like. What’s really the point of it realistically speaking?
What a powerful scene Great acting….
One of the Greatest scene by Al Pacino. Ever!!!!!
One of my favorite movies. Pacino's only Academy Award performance.
To have been on this set and witnessed the brilliance of Al Pacino would have been a once in a career experience.
Oscar well deserved. Love Alphonse pacino
For Pacino to give this entire speech and still "look" blind is incredible.
That was beautiful. I have watched it many times and it thrills me every time. Don't be a Sammy "the bull."
Al Pacino. Like all his movies are pretty good.
Bril!. One of the best movie monologues ever!. Nuff said.
IMO...Not only is this one of The Greatest orations in recent cinematic history, LTC points out what is Seriously Lacking in today's society...Competent, unabashed leadership & integrity!
I have probably watched this 500 times, give or take a few. Excellent , this should be a stranded for the future. People should raise their children with these standards.
Thank you for this upload, there used to only be a few patchy uploads of this monologue that didn't include the important parts before and after.
Yes he deserves one HE IS ONE of the charismatic actor he is into the character AL PACINO
When a blind veteran can show the way your path is truly lost
Pacino....whew....great writing and the perfect delivery.
Reminds me of the scene in movie scent of a woman…. “ id take a flamethrower to the place’ Thank you sir for your service and sacrifice outstanding job gentlemen outstanding.
If only life were like this…with men being men and standing up as parents (or teachers) for the young people, and authorities being so democratically and fairly run… It is one splendid movie and this is probably the best monologue in a movie, but it’s just a movie.

@@freindlycannuck1591 I think that art should have, also, a pedagogical component. But if what it depicts is no longer possible in reality, I’d say let us drink the poison cup to the last drop and be properly and honestly insane by making mindfuck movies, other forms of visual art, and horrendous ‘music’. I’d say let’s completely devalue art and hand it to technology. Nay, I’d say let’s devalue Mozart and Rembrandt as AI can replicate their creations. Who needs artists when cheap fakes will achieve the same result? Oh, wait. I think we are actors and spectators at the same time in a global rampant mindfuck fest. There is a time to leave when it’s grotesque. Unfortunately, nobody will give me a refund for my life. My loss.

Τα πανεπιστήμια, σε όλο τον κόσμο, θα πρέπει να προστατεύουν, τα παιδιά που μάχονται για την ζωή και να εισπράττει κάποιο εισόδημα για να πληρώσει τα δίδακτρα. Είναι το πιο δύσκολο, σκληρό θέμα, που πολλά, ίσος τα περισσότερα πανεπιστήμια, δεν το λαμβάνουν ιδιαίτερα με προσοχή. Έχω βρεθεί σε κάτι παρόμοιο. Ήμουν πάντα δίπλα σε αυτά τα παιδιά και τους προστάτευα, από κάτι παρόμοιο. Χάρηκα και ένιωσα περήφανος γιατί πέτυχαν στη ζωή τους. Έγιναν ηγέτες που προστάτευσαν του αδύναμους και αυτό ήταν το καλύτερο δώρο για μένα, επειδή έγινα φάρος για αυτά τα παιδιά. Η ταινία αυτή πρέπει να διδάσκεται, έτσι ώστε η παιδεία να έχει νόημα.
Absolutely badass❤
