This is the day when the world declares proudly with once voice that we will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight. We're going to live on; we're going to survive; TODAY, WE CELEBRATE OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY!
If only real leaders could be this inspiring. I would follow so many of the leaders Hollywood produces - Morgan freeman in Deep Impact; Michael Douglas in the American President; Bill Pullman in Independence day. The leaders we deserve but so seldom get.
As our good Reverend would say: "Wa' we a' all on this mishun I will nevuh kno'. But. I do kno' dat da Black Knights will emerge victorious once again".
@KeeharsTourettes the only award it got at the oscars though as I recall was for sound effects, it should have been nominated for picture of the year and will smith should have won best supporting actor.
i'm watching it right now on cinemax east. one of the greatest most underapreciated films of all time; and ironically the only film made by Roland Emmerich that's actually good.
@glagolitic - Hello there! Great, now I'm gonna have you looking over my shoulder every time I make a comment on this site... :-P Still, I'm sure I'll not say anything as bad on here as that question I once asked on the TG forums! ;-D
Whenever I listen to this song I get chills. That's how awesome it is. It may be underrated, but I consider it to be one of the greatest movies of the 90's.
i remember the yankees won the 1996 world series with this song, the beginning of the song from 0:00 to 0:39...still remembered it but it took years to find this...thank you.
@richie137 I still think that's one of the most brilliant calls as far as what music to play at home for your team when they win a championship. The movie came out the same year they won so it was cutting-edge-current too. I wonder if Steinbrenner wanted that or who thought to play that but it was perfect and I still tear up when I see clips of that final out from 96 and that song playing is partially why.
I wish someone would collage this with "Into the Raging River" so that the best part keeps coming out :P

Parts like 0:00 - 0:39 and 8:12 - 8:32 should have been and definitely should be used as trailer music to some films.
