The 2000's already going down as the century of assholes and fucking crybabies who have to complain about something and everything. If you don't like the movie(which is still a classic) and will be long after you shuffle off this earth don't watch it and move on. Enough of the crying.
Lou Gehrig I herd he to me being Yankees fan, is my favorite Yankees of all time. I herd he was great with the fans unlike Joe D, he was nice guy the old timers teal me. Joe D was first class jerk and cheap I herd.
Lou Gehrig your number 4 should be retired as with Roberto Clemente's 21 I agree redsoxrok34
He had such an amazing attitude in the face of such a horrible disease. His body was rapidly breaking down, but his mind was perfectly intact the whole time, like some horrible prison that he couldn't escape. In light of all this, he was still able to dwell not on the immense suffering that lay ahead of him, but on all the blessings he'd received in his life.
If he'd been given life experiences that afforded him such an amazing perspective, he WAS the luckiest man on the face of the earth.
He was a great player he is awesomeI love u so much. I hope we are ok. I do know what u mean that you and I need more we time. We have to work together to find that time. I'm sorry I got defensive last night. I just felt like I needed to defend myself. I want so much to marry u and be one together. I love u that much babe. I hope you had a safe flight. Please let me know you want the same.
While I fully support MLB retiring #42 in favor of Jackie Robinson, I think the list should also include Gehrig's #4 and Roberto Clemente's 21. There are some players who just transcend human greatness.
And yes, I am a diehard Red Sox fan, offering praise for a Yankees player, for whom I have unending respect
This is a great classic movie. But I think they should do a remake, and I think it should be called something else like "Lou Gehrig's Legend" or something like that, because really even here I don't like the name of the movie. Not because I hate the Yankees its because it just isn't a movie about the Yankees pride. Its about Lou Gehrig (RIP forgive douche bags like Barry Bonds for they spit on your grave).
@southparkfan2717 I don't believe that they should ever do a remake of the movie. Nothing is more touching then the great performance by actor Gary Cooper-Truly a Classic-It is about Pride "I Consider Myself the Luckiest my on the face of the Earth" that's pride
@Bxracers This picture was made in 1942, when computers were still largely theoretical. This may have been and old "process" shot, and perhaps Babe looks a little off because he he was a bit older when he recreated this moment for the movie, but that's him.
A recreation of a classic moment that became a classic itself, and a tribute to TWO of our greatest Americans, Louis Henry Gehrig and Garrrett Frank Cooper.
As far as I know, the newsreels did not capture the entire real speech, so all we have is the chopped-up version also available on YouTube, which is not quite in sync with the transcript shown in the newspapers. While Cooper's version isn't quite the same -- the key line comes at the end, rather than the beginning as it really was -- it doesn't matter, as he captures the essence of what Gehrig said.
What does matter is that, while Cooper looked like Gehrig, he didn't look like a ballplayer.

During WWII, Gary Cooper entertained troops in the South Pacific as part a USO tour. Because requested by the servicemen, Cooper recited this speech at the end of performances.
i am learning about u in school too....my schools internet broke down so i had to watch it at home but u are dying but still u say ur the luckiest man on the face of the earth...
Fucking piece of shit disease killed my loving Mom. God Bless her. 12 years this past Jan. Courage....showed me how to face death like a human being. She never wavered, never felt sorry, to the end put people ahead of her....used to break my heart...and still does...God Bless You Lou Gehrig..and finally, watch HBO sports, they might be figuring some of the causes. Thank you Jesus.
There is so small amount of time to help your loved one.I mean...Doctor giving her the penalty.Trying to talk her down while driving home from the hospital.Stayed with my mom till the end.Died at age 65.
my dad has the same diesease as lou had... its called ALS it is very hard for him and my family...he cannot even eat now...we have to find a cure for this before it hurts many more familys...
@superfunman100 It took my Mom in 98. God Bless you, keep the faith, stay the course. Don't waver. God and all of us here pray for you and all those who suffer from this dreaded fucking disease. Id' wipe out the planet to cure it you know? I pray the find a cure. Looking like they are finding causes, which in turn could lead to something. Check out the latest in HBO Sports.
@xxcowsxx from what i remember hearing, his entire speech was not filmed, just the beginning and end. so what you can see of him in the old film is not all there was.
@numberonefilmfan - you can find the words/text of the entire speech online and read it... the "luckiest man on the face of the earth" was actually the second sentence... the speech was just altered for dramatic effect in the movie...
"Today-ay ay, I consider my self-self self, the luckiest man-man man on the face of the earth-earth earth." I love you Lou! Rest in peace! Your #1!!!!!!!!
actually, he said the speech in '39 not '29. and he holds the record for grand slams at 23. What are you talking about, "he screwed up," ?!?! Lou did no such thing. He was given, "a bad break," and he faced it like a man.
Lou Gehrig- the greatest ballplayer and role model of good sportsmanship to kids to ever live!
Well. supposedly he had a live-in relationship with a well-known actor back in the 30s. He was all-man though, a reportedly good guy and terrific actor.
as well as cooper performers this i cant get over how lou's voice echoes through yankee stadium when he say "today i consider myself the luckest man on the face of the earth"
Yea the movie speech is very different from the real one. He comments on the same things but in a different order and with totally different choice of words.
Unfortunately no recordings of the original speech exist, just the first and last sentence.
This movie was amazing, when I was about five, my older brother and I used to steal the small TV in our kitchen and watch this late at night. We'd always end up crying, and no matter how many times I see this, I get chocked up
Wrestlingfan, this is a movie but it is about a real man who died of ALS. Speaches many ball players make today are about signing bonus'. Players like Lou Gehrig and WWII vet Ted Williams rarely exist now.
You are completely wrong. This is his speech verbatim. You have never heard the whole thing cause the clips you see just say how he is the luckiest man on the face of the earth. Look it up.
why would people think your wierd? i know alot of people who live in Pa and in philly who hate the phillies reguardless of the world series win. I live in SNJ and i'm a avid yankees fan win or lose... GO YANKS!!!!
what did his wife say when he died cuz i read a book lou gehrig the luckiest man in my school and it almost brought me to tears i cant belive he died im goonna watch the vid on the side lou gehrig grave

Lou clamed he was the luckiest man on the earth, because before he screwed up, he had lots and lots of luck, depending on his batting average.

Gary Cooper did a swell job with the speech. Almost like Gehrig himself doing the speech.
Don't they look sort of alike?

Cooper looked kinda like everyman. No wonder he played John Doe the same year, and Sergeant York, and others.

Of course this is Gary Cooper in the movie about Lou Gehrig. It was a heart wrenching film!!

great movie!

Wrestlingfan, this is a movie but it is about a real man who died of ALS. Speaches many ball players make today are about signing bonus'. Players like Lou Gehrig and WWII vet Ted Williams rarely exist now.

@novusmundi
but some of them DO still exist, for example Derek Jeters farewell speech to the old Yankee Stadium

Baseball and America need someone like Lou Gehrig more than ever.
A true legend and hero.

Actually his speech was actually pretty much what the movie dictates

Why didn't they just make it short and meaningful, like THE ORIGINAL, instead of putting in the rest of this mumbo-jumbo that he NEVER SAID.

You are completely wrong. This is his speech verbatim. You have never heard the whole thing cause the clips you see just say how he is the luckiest man on the face of the earth. Look it up.
