Slade had an amputated spirit . Charlie saved him from that

@@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?

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

there is no prosthetic for that.. just a very powerful and sad line..

Absolutely 🔔🔨

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.

@@yearginclarke i could def see Jack Nicholson crushing it. but Pacino got it done!

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.

Im I'm waaaay older than that and a father myself. The older you get, the better this movie is...and matters.

Amen

@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

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.

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.

I agree.

But his speech on humanity in devil's advocate is amazing too.

And also alpacino speech in "any given sunday".

Totaly agree

@@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!).

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

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?

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.

There is always Dolf Lungren.......

Granville Ormerod Dolf Lungren? Never heard of him. Is he friends with Dolph Lundgren?🤣

Yeah, there's not many of the old school actors & actresses left which is a crying shame because they all have real character.
