Benicio Del Toro - Cannes Film Festival Speech 2008

[jnserantes2]

jaja le kda un poko peke el micro =)

[BeckEis]

Benicio just seems so overwhelmed and shy -- very sweet.

[halfwaydowntheroad]

Del Toro should've been at least nominated for the Oscar here. Penn, the winner that year, said it himself.

Oh well, it's the OScars. Sometimes they hit, sometimes they miss.

[FreedomJury]

I saw a teenager wearing the Che shirt here in Thailand. Funny, because Che put his .45 to the heads of teenage kids who were hired by Battista to carry rifles. When they readily surrendered, Che personally blew their brains out as they whimpered and begged for their lives. No jury trial. With hordes of prisoners screaming from the prison windows that they were just children. Pretty cool! You commies are so hip-cool! Stupid, anti-intellectual thugs.

[Eileen012L]

I really love him, but he cannot talk to people at all....

[shitIMGOINGPOSTAL]

america is a free enterprise.

[unaymilveces100]

Adoro a Benicio del Toro, me fascina su cara malosa, me encanta, es excelente actor... tiene algo muy especial

[JessieAckles]

people its a goddam movie! benicio was just doing his job which he does a very good job at!gosh!

[brushstrokesrock]

Valerie is so funny! :D

[musicmoviejunkie1]

hes awesome, deserves every award in the world. but please france, learn some english!!

[lesassassins]

great actor,great movie,masterpiece

[latinosiempre]

Cuando mi pais deje de andar en la ignorancia. Ademas necesitamos la ayuda de nuestros hermanos latinoamericanos,los gringos no pueden seguir con una colonia en pleno siglo 21 por mucho tiempo.

[latinosiempre]

Viva Benicio , Viva Puerto Rico libre

[latinosiempre]

Benicio apoya la independencia para puerto rico, es tremenda persona,humilde, preocupado por su pais y aqui en Puerto Rico siempre ha defendido las causas progresistas. saludos, estuve en buenos aires en diciembre y me encanto argentina.tengo q volver para ver otras provincias.

[marick626]

La independencia de Puerto Rico? Benicio del Toro es millonario gracias a las peliculas americanas.

[latinosiempre]

No discuto con pitiyankis ignorantes, solo hablo con hombres libres de spiritu.

[TatydeCali]

Benicio del Toro = A Rundown Drudged "actor",

and a useful fool and huge IDIOT,

Si.. imbecilidad en persona!

Golfa Tonta!

Hablo lo Que me plazca!

Y de quien me plazca!

[quimetsugranes]

@TatydeCali Eres una chica o una dama? Que mal te queda usar ese vocabulario y pones por el suelo a las mujeres en general, especialmente las de Cali. Benicio es un actor, no un activista. Si no lo conoces en persona, por que juzgarlo de esa manera? Que mal te va! Esto que estas haciendo, puede revertirse en tu contra. Se prudente y actua como una dama respetable.

[caballeroxxxxx]

@quimetsugranes y que tiene que ver que sea actor antes de ser actor es una persona como tu y como yo y el se puede unir a las causas que el quiera

[TatydeCali]

Benicio = un buen actor pero un idiota en CHE

[Indigenamericano4eva]

In France Binicio delToro, people love him, he got the prize to the best actor for ptforming El Che beautyfull, but in miami that town full of traitors you can't espect nothing, cause that is what that people is " nothing" .

Go d bless you Binicio ,bravo and

Viva el Che, hasta la Victoria siempre.

[Bardrokh]

he fuckin IS che in the movies, he's just him!

[Sikitraqui]

bebicio del droggo !

[grgn76]

my fav actor at all time

[betta144]

benicio looks like brad pit/ james dean.

[bentou53]

I agree.Benicio is Che.

He deserves a lot of rewards of this hard work

[0lafatamorgana0]

"Che" is wonderful, Benicio is great!

[HRealisticDreamsH]

Thank the French people for appreciating the move CHE and rewarding Benicio Del Toro; the man who dedicated seven years of his life to produce this glorious epic.

[MackRoad]

I TOTALLY AGREE!

[randall2708]

"French" fuck it

[depotdollars]

The Lost City with Andy Garcia is a great movie

[ReflectedFlicks]

Che is fantastic film.

[ohimechan]

ahaha valerie lemercier, she's great!

[Zeppelin901]

che did nothing for humanity. how come the people he supposedly 'help' the most are the ones who most dilsike him. i'm talking about the cuban people of course. che was a criminal and people should stop basing their knowledge of him on movies. this message has been brought to you by the most capitalist thing on the face of the earth, namely, che's face on a t-shirt...

[unodiner0]

I luuuurve how he dedicated the award to Che, that was very touching.

[hertblue]

Well done Benecio. A perfect performance.

Viva Che! Viva Beno! Viva Stephen Soderbergh!

Viva Cuba! Viva Escocia libre! From Scotland.

[jeanpaulfelix]

long live socialism..

[hertblue]

Amen to that. ;-)

[ballantrae101]

whenever I hear things like that, it makes me want to run for President, get into office, and just press that red button over and over and over again.

Then sit back, light up a cigar and watch those beautiful missiles fly. Fly baby fly.

[depotdollars]

Que Viva Franco!!!!!

[depotdollars]

abajo con el socialismo!!!!!

abajo con el communismo!!!!!

[depotdollars]

Que Viva Miami!!!!! Volveremos Fidel!!!!!

Communista De Mierda!!!!! Que Viva EE.UU.!!!

[depotdollars]

Che Guevara was a murderer and a killer. He Killed hundreds of innocent Cubans that wanted freedom. He was a terrorist!!!!! Che Guevara and Fidel Castro destroyed Cuba

[clennon84]

ask a cuban what they think about castro, most appreciate him. A personal friend of mine who came over to america on a raft still supports castro because his family remembered what it was like to live under batista. He was able to get a college education under castro and not have to toil in a field for the United Fruit Company his whole life. He even says it was a mistake to come to america and he is returning to cuba.

[jeanpaulfelix]

awesome comment. thanks.

[EmanuelWazar]

You say? So. When Iraqis die wanting freedom from an oppressive foreign regime that does not recognize their human rights,... those "murderers and killers",... they are?

Oh. I know. You see the US has this special ability, when they kill some one, it's always a terrorist. For instance, when McCain bombed a village,... he only killed the "bad" "terrorist" men, children, woman, and invalids. When Iraqi families burn alive, its because they were "secret" terrorist. Totally get it. Che is bad.

[wowiamadad]

I heard Benicio Deltoro is going to be the actor in Steven Soderberg's new movie about FBI Agent Jack Garcia new book, "Making Jack Falcone" you can see him here on youtube, check out Jack Falcone and The FBI's Wiseguy. I think he is perfect for that part!

[kingkerz]

todos los revolcuionaros eran asesinos por sus creencias...nadie se escapa..la revolucion francesa...los romanos, los chinos los rusos...caballos! entiendan,,lo mismo hizo bus por cosas que no eran humanas...era el petroleo...genocidio por petroleo..esto si es vulgar.

[Cain2able86]

"caballos" ? quien son los 'caballos" caballeros!

[khakimental]

gusanos for mc cain!?

retards for palin!?

lets all go to hell!?

abajo with you 5 depotdollar bitch.

[LuiG7]

Don't Watch the fuckin video!

[richacuba]

el che no se merece una pelicula ni nada de eso es pendejo ..mira como apluden a ese venicio del toro despues de la mierda que iso reprecentando al pendejo del che,,,un asesino

[macluix]

Q hay d George washington?...McCain?...acaso no son asesinos igual??....quieren lucir mal al Che x ser anti EU....les tienen la mente lavada...si llegaba a matar a favor d la causa d EU es un ídolo....todos los países han tenido movimientos revolucionarios...muchos pro independencia....y sus protagonistas siempre son heroes naionales...y vistos mal x la nacion perjudicada...el Che es heroe...q la revolución este mal hoy dia obedece a muchas causas..

[fumatrix13]

el che no se merese una peli asi de falsa,es un ser humano con sus meteduras de pata no fue perfecto,ademas fidel fue mil veces mas listo q el.fidel si merese una peli de 3 horas

[thorulfur]

cuba isnt asking u.s. for shit depotdollar you stupid gusano de mierda. cuba turned down the aid offer from the u.s. during the recent hurricane disasters. but european countries was sending fuckin´ blankets to your backward country during the katrina catastrophe. i feel sorry for you being less worth than the u.s. dollar in 2008 hahaha. viva che!

[LuiG7]

Viva! Whooo!

[depotdollars]

Cubans for McCain!!!!!

[depotdollars]

Volveremos Fidel!!! Que Viva Miami!!!!!!!

[embozcada19]

latino america a sido el puterio el burdel de estaods unidos y ya llego la hora q eso cambie

[depotdollars]

then stop asking the united states for money and aid

[imbeatles08]

ay ay ay, don´t you remember that the US didnt want to receive any aid help from Cuba when Katrina´s broke down New Orleans?see?, Cuba doesn´t need the Bush helps, much less nowadays, when your country is crying for the economical colaps provocated by the invation to middle east ssshh!,shut up little blind, you stay where you are, sucking the cocks to the killers invaders, for a coint and a hamburguer, read Castro you dollar lover, He told you months ago about this economical crisis. sshh!

[depotdollars]

Abajo con el socialismo!!!!!

Abajo con el communismo!!!!!!

[EmanuelWazar]

What they are asking for is for fair treatment and inclusion with the rest of the nations, which the US actively, and singularly blocks.

[depotdollars]

Que Viva Pinochet!!!!! Que Viva Franco!!!!

Que Viva Batista!!!!

[jeanpaulfelix]

lol, you can stay in the footnotes of history. Cultural marxism is victorious all over the planet.

You and your fascist ideology are dead, buried and gone. Shut up fascist pig

[jeanpaulfelix]

socialism up your criminal fascist ass....

[Cain2able86]

fascism and communism are alike they both seek to give absolute power to the governing state, not its people. true socialism is part democratic, part heart, part love and part work,you can not categorize the human instinct to care. As well as the instinct of greed and selfishness of the capitalistic societies we tend to create. most of the people in the audience would fear the day Che got his way. One story I read, was that Che had conflict with Fidels views, as well as USSR politics .

[Michaelmylife]

beno is sizzling hot!!!!!!!!

[depotdollars]

Cuba Libre!!!!! Free Cuba!!!!!!

[embozcada19]

wat makes u think it aint free??? its free from da hands that use to pimp it like a dirty filthy cheap prostitute,dats what ur USA was doing to cuba and its been doin with latin america, but CUBA had da balls and courage to say STOP GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE U FUCKIN GRINGOS DIS IS OUR COUNTRY NOT URS cuba is free while latin america still sufferes from puppet democracies run an dcontroled by the USA is so sad, dat ur ignorant

[depotdollars]

Volveremos Fidel!!!!!!!! Que Viva Miami!!!!!!

Communista De Mierda!!!!!!

[embozcada19]

hahahahahahahhahahahaur so ignorant the word itself doesnt fit u hahahhahahahahahahahahha and yes i can spell but why write well in a response to a ignorant brainwashed asshole who sucks USA dick so hard

[depotdollars]

do you know how to spell you ignorant chunt!!

[embozcada19]

yeah i do and if u read the comment before ur response is der, fuckin horse shit fucker

[depotdollars]

chunty?indio?ignorant?

[scandalouzmegz]

I'm not necessarily worried about whether or not Che was a "good" or "bad" person; I'm just interested in seeing how Soderbergh and del Toro portray him.

[AFireflyinAugust]

Yes, exactly. I couldn't agree with you more on that point. It is apparent that many people have their own very personal views on Che and related subjects, which I respect, but the name calling and endless fighting on these pages gets a little tiring in my own humble opinion. I'm just really excited to see the film.

[depotdollars]

Che Guevara was a murderer, a killer, he killed hundreds of innocent Cubans who wanted freedom. He is a terrorist, a killer, he is anti-american.Che and Fidel destroyed Cuba

[valkier]

Che killed hundreds of worthless brainwashed rats like yourself.

[embozcada19]

who aint ANTI-USA tell me??? dey are terrorist killin babies women man all innosent and for wat money and power oil, he awas an anti-usa not american cus may i remind u AMERICA is a continent north central and south america, what makes it use only for USA,ignorant and if people are anti-usa is because all dey do is create wars to invade steal kill 3rd world nations

[depotdollars]

All of you critisize the United States but still come to this country. Don't bite the hands that feeds you!

[embozcada19]

hahahahahah i dont live der u asshole i dont live in da USA and wont ever put foot on a capitalistic corrupted garbage racist piece of shit country runned by elite muderers,hahahaha and regarding da bitin, i think teh USA has been bitin da hand dat feeds its corrupted wealth its economy,the 3rd world yes his been oppresin da hands dat feed him and exploit da very same people who make da world go around fuck u capitalistic pigs ur time is coming

[EmanuelWazar]

So I should never see half of my family? I have to either split my family apart, or be able to express my pov? Really now? I have no right to point out injustice in whatever country I live in?

[depotdollars]

Que Viva Bush!!!! Que Viva El CIA!!!!

[EmanuelWazar]

Do not feed troll.

[himvpdmr]

Benicio, Broricua pride...

[robertoPYM80]

U.S.A has formed the people like chavez, castro and che, now the americans complain about what they have formed, that's stupid-- like glasgolatt

[obliviouspet]

You give the USA too much credit. Chavez, Castro and Che are true socialists. Real humanists who actually DID give a damn about their people, and helped them out in every way possible. The USA and its corrupt leaders are very talented at demonizing foreign leaders and entire countries for that matter. Just look at how they call Iran the Axis of Evil. While its people are among the most warm, compassionate, thoughtful, tolerant, colourful and loving of the world. Its a disgrace.

[a7xpk]

sorry I meant what you say, I exposed my idea wrong

[robertoPYM80]

sorry I menat what you say I esposed my idea wrong

[obliviouspet]

I understand, it happens to me too.

Take care mate ;)

[komandant10]

you're absolutely right, the american goverment has brainwashed us into thinking that these people are scumbags and everybody here thinks like them, but they don't realise what they really are. How many innocent people have died in the hands of the american gov.???

[lever525]

looks like jimmy page

[glasgolatt]

Hollywood again glorifies another murderous thug.Yeah him and Castro really liberated Cuba.That's why the neighbors I grew up with had not one good thing to say about Che or Castro and their relatives escaped on a man made raft in shark infested waters to ge away from it,yeah wonderful country under dictarorship really works,oh and communism yeah that's a real gem,what a free society.How about more glory given to Mandela and Martin Luther King,they were the real freedom fighters.

[mige23]

LUTHER WAS A SOCIALIST.

MANDELA IS A SOCIALIST.

CASTRO Is A SOCIALIST.

CHE WAS A SOCIALIST.

YOU, "glosgolatt", ARE AN IDIOT.

[10snejana]

@mige23 el es el mas sexy el mejor actor bn aparte de joaquin phoenix y es la persona mas sencilla lo adoro!!! es la onda

[99681655]

@mige23 who is glosgolatt

[AleksandraKrilic]

glasgolatt, if USA let Castro build his country, Cuba would be a paradise. You don't think that embargo has anything to do with Cuba struggling so hard?

Castro and Che had their flaws under the pressure and circumstances but they remain heroes in the spheres of resistance to the USA politics.

[oyouarehereo]

Mige said it best, entirely. especially about you being an idiot. No one swam to the states on a man made raft. When the revolution took place anyone who wanted to leave, could leave. You just couldn't return. And you cry about dictatorship? What do you think Batista was, genius? Or do you even know ANYTHING about him? I presume not, otherwise you wouldn't have said anything at all. Next time you think about saying about what you know nothing of, DON'T.

[elektra1968]

Glasgolatt Cut the bullshit and wake up ! Castro and Mandela is very close friends!

Castro was the only friend Mandela had when he was in jail. The time when the rest of the westworld had and some still has Mandela as "terrorist"

[iRULEu207]

if you're not cuban dont talk.

[KINDNESSEQUALSHONOR]

I can hear the racist American Neanderthals yelling some obscenities. Good for Benicio.

LIBERAL! LIBERAL! The only words the stupid Americans can spell correctly.

GOOGLE VIDEO: TERRORSTORM

[finfinthestar]

[latino81]

benicio is the perfect man for the che movie respect peace

[Roby89love]

can you please write me what he says in his speech? because I speak both french and english but I didn't understand anything beause of the translation.

THANKS!

talking about the subject of the video I can only say that I absolutely love Benicio whatever he does...

you are right butterflymadden..he looks very shy and a bit embarrassed but he's so lovely!

can we tell him off for that sweet smile? I don't think so!

^__^

I can't wait to watch the movie!

[lory972]

He thanked the producers, Cannes, the Jury, dedicated the movie to the Che. He said he wants to share the award with Steven Soderbergh who propeled him to make the movie

[butterflymadden]

benicio looks a little nervous. He's shy and so sweet.
