Daniel Day-Lewis In the Name of the Father Monologue (The Medal)

[TheLeggyredhead]

@dferhadi94 all part of the performance? Don't forget Gerry Conlon was supposed to be a gibbering nervous wreck by this point

[dferhadi94]

one of the best actors ever..why is he blinking so much?

"delayed shock, nevermind delayed shock...i've been this way since i was 7."

[crosbyyacht]

What a great scene.



[dirtynuke]

WOW thats acting for you.



[Tomomi95]

I almost cried today watching this film. The main reason was because of the brilliant acting.

[Davish98]

[waiting4smtin]

@Davish98 Oh God I can't envy u more. He's a genius.

[Davish98]

[jarjarbanks22]

Daniel reminds me of Ewan McGregor in this lol.

[mitsk2002]

"...and I wrote your name on the ground - your stupid Giuseppe fuckin name, I wrote it in the dirt and I fucking pissed on it! I PISSED ON IT!"

LOL!

[SFGal9]

There is no finer actor.

[stapo187]

I probably watch this at least twice a week.. It's unbelievable acting

[Stargreened]

The " film world" is seriously going to miss Pete Postlethwaite.

R.I.P

[Stargreened]

Why the hell hasn't this film been released on Blu-Ray? Grrrr

[DADorACTOR]

Hey! Am I the next Patrick Swayze? Come watch my monologue to find out!

[TheWerewolf72]

The best acting ever. Daniel day Lewis is the god of actors. He should of got an award for that film. Best film ever

[michellehetumusic]

3:26-3:31. I wish there was just an endless loop of that somewhere.

[bestin2]

@michellehetumusic gifninja.com/animated-gifs/263­739/medal haha

[michellehetumusic]

@bestin2 HAHAHAH awesome.

[jireal19]

At a loss for words.

[ChickenGoujons]

That was pretty intense.

[ScottMacFie]

As a guy, I've always respected the "art" of some women's movies that illustrate the complicated relationships between mothers/daughters. I have to say, this scene--I've lived a version of this scene with my own father--and as "macho" as any of us are, in our society, I bet more than one of my fellow brothers has watched this scene and recalled the anger, resentment, hurt & ultimately love that we walked through in a scene from our life, with our father, similar to this.

[Cedramaaya]

What do they say after 2:30? Can somebody tell me about their relationship?

[saswales]

@Cedramaaya they are father and son,,he tryed to sell his medal he won in football,

[GuardianOfScotland33]

RIP , Pete .

[jenlovesfoofighters]

this was a great movie

[broadwaystar2011]

It is so weird to think of the different movies he's done while watching his other performances. Amazing!

[allthelaughs1]

Aweomse movie, one of my faves!!

[kalel0192]

Why isn't this the most viewed video ever on youtube?

[Kironroy2]

@kalel0192 yea, its a damn good scene

[su79er]

@kalel0192 'cause we live in the time of twighlight and harry potter...God Help us

[Tricky8oy1]

I read somewhere a while ago that Daniel's scene was mostly adlib. eg he was told the general story or script to the affect of a sons resentment towards his father because of a seemingly innocent concern or insult to something that happened when he was a child. Apparently Pete nor anyone on the crew knew what Daniel was going to say or do. Not sure where or how long ago i read it but has anyone else heard or seen an interview saying as much?

[allieq100]

Mr Conlon a true hero, a true Irishman and played by an amazing actor , may they both Rest in Peace x



[gettingittight]

im proud to be irish, i fukn hate prods!!!!

[ultracrunchy]

I'd say that's a bad Irish accent comin from danniel Lewis..good but bad for him...

[Salguine]

@ultracrunchy That's not an Irish accent. It's a Belfast, Northern Irish accent. It's very, very different from a standard Irish accent, and Day-Lewis has it spot on.

[20Tomas08]

@Salguine Theres no such thing as a "standard" irish accent, i differs from reigon to reigon, even 10-20 minutes outside Belfast is Ballymena, you''d think you were in scotland hearing their accents.

[Salguine]

@20Tomas08 Yes, I know. By "standard" I mean a neutral, regionalism-free accent of the kind that's used by TV news people and that you get taught at theater school.

[shakin2011]

@ultracrunchy no its perfect, its a northern irish accent, which i hate, which is funny cause i'm from there..

[MyBandini]

@ultracrunchy - You don't know irish accents very well 'cause they both have it spot on.

[mrsavoy66]

a father's love for his son, thanks

[paulmcguineapig1]

This movie pretty much invented the Irish film industry. Nearly 20 years on and theres still nothing that comes close!

[starskhutchgel]

The best actor alive *****

[chikito72]

Outstanding actors. Please Sylvester, look at this and try to learn something

[CelticMudkip]

[MegaAbby1000]

good movie!

[kieran219]

mind blowing actors bud

[u2joshuadesireu]

we often underestimate the people closest to us until were the ones in utter despair and theyre not

[birchual]

i love how he always adds random extra bits like the constant eye squinting! just brings more to the scene!

[StapleTaper]

The first time I saw this scene, I was practically shaking by the end. Daniel Day-Lewis' acting is orgasmic it's so brilliant.

[xxplasticfantasticxx]

Excellent!

[Htrerise]

at 3:42 I love how he says "and now you are in jail" instead of "now you're in jail" it just makes it better

[240585birthday]

@Htrerise I think it just sounds like that becasue of the accent, I think he actually said "And now here you are in jail!"

But I could be wrong...I love the northern irish accent, but im from the republic of ireland and so dont sound half as nice as Daniel!

[82558061]

i love the emotion they show between each other , I love Daniel

[voteproud]

nevermind delayed shock...i've been like this since i was seven.
