Wonderful tribute by Dustin, & the last line of the poem says it all for anyone who loves & appreciates life; be Drunken with wine, poetry, and virtue, be drunken!
This fly's over most peoples heads. Dustin is not actually giving Jack Nicholson a compliment. The poem is an innuendo with a double meaning. He pulls it off in the end so it doesn't come over too strong.
Actually the english translation of this poem is not very good... Baudelaire is our best poet, to me. He's the first one that actually loved Poe and we french have the immense pleasure of reading Poe translated by Baudelaire...
@pinchold congratulations on totally missing the point of the poem... it wasn't an insult - it was a compliment to a man who has lived a life of passion (be drunken on wine or virtue but be drunken on something) .... not the dull empty life of sobriety and death of our spirit long before the grave... best tribute i ever heard at these events.
Dustin, i have allways been big fan of your mowies,i"m sorry to tell, but i needed your help
to help Greenpeace, to get new ship insted Rainbow warrier what frog eaters sinkt. if you and Jack could donate some dollars to Greenpeace im our friend for ewer!
@Azoul1001 You moron Frenchie don't address an entire nation of people like that if you can't even insult us with proper spelling or grammar. Stick to French. At least you can speak that.
@tabber87 Why would you---let alone four other people---possibly think so? The latter, that is. The former I can't argue with. Hoffman's a really cool guy IMO.
My name is DENNIS WOODRUFF, People say i'm a great actor. i've aways admired your films and wondered if you would give an unknown like myself the chance to prove so in one of your films. My phone number is 323-848-7164 and my agents name is craig 818-761-0580. You could even have Jane call me for an audition. tjhanks, D.W.
A lot of people don't take actors seriously. Dismiss them as frivolous. But when you see them giving such meaningful or humorous speeches, that gives you an idea of there mental faculty. Not only are actors blessed with a superior face & personality but also with a superior intellect. God, I so wanna be like them, but I know it will never happen , at least not in this life.
By the way, when I say actors I mean legends like Dustin, Jack, Al Pacino , Robert De Niro etc. Not the other hacks.
@3434aaaa who the hell doesn't take actors seriously??? aaah - you mean: guys who are talking about actors as "hacks"??! ;o))
i don't know anyone - really. but perhaps i'm only thinking this because i'm the son of an actor. stage actor, that is. maybe stage actors are more respected like film actors. in that sense you could be right..
Daniel Day-Lewis, George Clooney, Andy Garcia, Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, Michael Imperioli, Robert Downey Jr., Malcolm McDowell, John Malkovich, Anthony Hopkins, Paul Sorvino, Chazz Palminteri, Danny Aiello, Sylvester Stallone, Nick Nolte and Gene Hackman.
Actors that i would love to see Jack working with: Al Pacino, James Woods, Dustin Hoffman, Sean Penn, Johnny Depp, Denzel Washington, Robert Carlyle, Robert Duvall, Chris Walken, Gary Oldman, Willem Dafoe, James Caan, Ed Harris, Joe Pesci, Benicio Del Toro,
love both these guys, but that was cringeworthy
