It always will be relevant and just as hard to solve. I personally have no use for religion or authority... the only person I ever automatically respected was the Heart Surgeon who had just performed open-heart surgery on my Mother. I shook his hand with gratefulness... everyone else has to earn it and not just by presenting me with a title... Father, President, Vice President, etc.
Some of you should be listening to what he is saying, not just the sound of his voice. It's a brilliant soliloquy made all the more poignant by the fact that this was a real person who killed himself rather than let the repressive state do him in. Listen to what he's saying. It's still just as pertinent today as it was in the 18th century.
This is as timely now as it was during the French Revolution. Mr. Rickman brings to Mr. Barnes' words an emotional, intellectual, and spiritual depth that is riveting and deeply moving.
If some normal preacher was preaching this to me I don't think I'd be able to listen and stay awake. But with the beautiful voice of Alan Rickman I'm sitting here completely enthused. I still have no clue what he's talking about ....but I could watch this over and over just because of his voice.
Fffuck!He is so sexyyy

I was a year old when this was filmed, I'm sure he's about 35-40 here, and I'd still ride him like a sexy cow girl ....

@MsAppassionata Sounds like Alan's own politics, Labour party socialist. He's brilliant!
