Gone Baby Gone - Beginning (first 5 minutes)

[Tsotsi88]

Ben Affleck great Director!!!

Casey Affleck great Actor!!!

[jorgekluney]

@Tsotsi88 Amen to that.

Love this movie.... Love The Town. If only Casey would have had a big role in that too.

[TheGreatDeciever55]

3:30 fuck i always wondered this myself----no goddamn rhyme or reason for them to be all up in the background like that unless they just want to be on T.V..

[kagomay88]

can you please upload more of gone baby gone

[archer1949]

This scene illustrates why I love detective fiction as a genre. You can actually tell stories ABOUT something, not just a "literary" author wanking his own ego.

[mhaze210]

ill admit, although i've already seen this..the opening made my eyes water.

[DUBSAC]

The bitch at 3:07 does a bad boston accent.

[randomperson331]

@DUBSAC what else is new

[Eradicus]

This monologue is so crucial to his decision at the end of the film. He is from the streets, he takes pride in that, he looks for the good in these people. You get many good families in these awful places... but not enough.

He, naively, believed that Helene would change, maybe as he had done as a youngster. But she wouldn't, she couldn't, she didn't.

[alexxxdamasta187]

I love the quote when he says, "When I was young, I asked my priest 'how you can get to heaven and still protect yourself from all the evil in the world'. He said what god said to his children, 'You're a sheep among wolves, be wise as serpents, yet innocent as doves. '

[SuperPwnage321]

showed this movie to my friends yesterday and they loved it..and its my favorite..seen it 17 times now...its an amazing movie and has a true meaning..i love the beggining and end..if you havent seent his movie..watch it..its amazing...like too good to be true...

[DarkReaper1994]

"I always believed it was the things you don't choose that make you who you are. Your city, your neighborhood, your family. People here take pride in these things, like it was something they had accomplished. The bodies around their souls, the cities wrapped around those. I lived on this block my whole life, most of these people have."

Man, I love that quote. No matter where you're from you know what he's talking about and can relate to it. One of my favorite movies ever.

[tinkabellastar]

This whole movie is so powerful, one of the best movies ever made.

[365to173repubsPWNED]

the best movie of 2007 was Black Snake Moan

[Dean814]

Amazing movie!

Well done Ben!

[Delpheno2K7]

He told me what God said to his children, "You are a sheep among wolves. Be wise as serpents... yet innocent as doves."

[DerHalbeEuro]

i want to go in america :D

cool peoples there

[codename617]

I love my town. WHen i was reading the first book, A Drink Before The War, i was really amazed by how i was able recognize all the parts of town mentioned, like the BVoston Comman, South Station, I-93 south and the Barnes & Nobles on Washington St. It's closed now, but there is a Border's next to the CVS i work at.

[Lillogambino]

Amy Ryan is an damn hell of an actress! i mean, I just saw her in "The Office"! she is funny as well!

[cjpg11]

thats some deep shit

[ZHood21]

this is one of the greatest monologues in movie history. hands down. even though im not from south boston, this still reminds me of pittsburgh, where im from. its too powerful. and its a great movie too

[MrIMADOPE]

I grew up In Everett. The scene where the drug dealer had taken him and they found that little boy I used to hang out at the park behind the house. I miss it. Zhood,you and I both know that street life is a life of it's own, it doesn't matter which city or state. I know you know this because of your comment. The monolugue is 100% dead on. I live in south central Pa. and I want the city life back. This country living isn't for me!

[Dannyb0y24]

the drug dealer was bubba rogowski in the movie. hes called "slaine" in real life hes a rapper

[bfunkbaby]

i love this opening monologue. it's so powerful

[xdancexdivax]

wow, she looks so like maddie mccann. and is dat kate mccann basic lookalike her mum?? cause dat would b well freaky

[fabian6910]

exelente pelicula !!!!!!!! hermosa cancion !!!

[redcard5598]

Great beginning to my favorite movie.

[Holland14K]

wow,Boston isnt so bad.

[SKIADK]

as a young teenager i spent summers in Boston with my uncle, something special about the area.

[raiders2000]

great touching movie.

[Marnoff]

One of the most powerful opening scenes I've ever seen.

[ana7676]

I'm from Massachusetts and this movie, as well as Good Will Hunting are perfect! The cinematography makes me feel like I'm in Boston, and the actors portray their characters to a T.

[loserguy1022]

man bewtween this and the departed theres some damn good films being filmed in or about boston

[coryboy345]

@loserguy1022 Agreed 100% Good Will Hunting, The Town, Mystic River.... The list goes on.

[tee61702125]

i loved it cause i was in it!! boston is my home city!! they filmed right on the corner of my street. the house that the little girl was taken from was my girls house!! all in all though i thought it was a great movie, loved it a lot!!!

[loserguy1022]

i bet that was a great experience. great movie as well. i was really suprised!

[jorgekluney]

Makes sense to find a video for the extended intro for a movie you don't even like. But with a name like peteyornpimp I should probably set all of my expectations for you pretty low.

[jorgekluney]

Who would have known that Casey Affleck is such a damn good actor.

[Hollins23]

Ben! :)

[geekoftheweek27]

The writing in this opening monologue is just.... WOW.

[AScannerDarkly22]

Agreed.

I especially love the bit towards the end when he talks about being sheep among wolves; powerful stuff.

[jorgekluney]

Right on, geekoftheweek.

This is an incredible opening.

[SharkmanSIX]

Why would they let the man who orchestrated her kidnapping KEEP the girl?

[thatsmyjammbox]

exactly shark...

wtf?! they wouldn't let him keep her. you almost feel bad though and in a way want him to because he can provide better for her, but bottom line is the law is the law.

[mreit28]

This opening scene is excellent, but the movie was mediocre...more like an extended Law and Order episode than a movie...and the ending made no sense. Social services would have let the cop keep the girl until the Mom had a steady job.

[SteveTrevor]

Uh yeah right.Social Services is usually so on top off things that they don't fail thousands of children over and over,so yeah right they would let the kidnapper keep the child or maybe they would have let Corwin become her foster father.

[bajmister]

the cop kidnapped the child. that was an offense already. and the child was not being physically abused so there were no grounds for her to be seperated from her mother. this is a very good movie. its great like mystic river, but its damn good. i cant believe you find this average. its a ver good movie.

[yoo2232]

the academy awards are so fucking scandalous

[KajiCarson]

Underrated movie.

[loganberry182]

what is the name of the song playing during the opening speech?

[SteveTrevor]

It's called Opening and is available on itunes

Gone Baby Gone soundtrack.

[LiberalDemocrat83]

God, he has one annoying voice. But great monologue.

[Natlandet]

LOVE this monologue in the beginning. It's so beautiful and the music as well... It goes in so deep.

[gallifreygazer]

I love this movie to went to see it today but missed the start so thanks for putting this up.

[juliasgurl727]

what happens?
