sorry for downvoting this video, there's actually nothing wrong with it besides the fact that it is way too long for a video that you know everyone is only watching for the one line 90% of the way through it. the only reason i downvoted was so that the retard who commented below me would look like an idiot for having chosen some random, arbitrary, and wholly unfunny number. suck it, @TheGraham721
@boo16q No; besides the basic indirect insult at the commenter below you, neither that opinion nor the fact that you downvoted this video were worth pointing out. Along with the fact that there's a top comment to help you through the boring part, it isn't a bad scene. Also, why ridicule the creator of this video if he can't easily rectify his error? Now, I know that the whole point of commenting on youtube is pointing out dumb things for no particular reason, but still.
@ryanredz Wow you don't have a fucking clue, do you? See those black bars on the sides of this upload? That means that the aspect ratio 4:3 is MAINTAINED NOW. It's not stretched widescreen; if it was, it'd look proper. This video has ALWAYS had a shit aspect ratio because the dumbfuck squished it before uploading it to make it fit 4:3. Youtube did not do this.
@spacefaget He uploaded this video when YoTube was 4:3, he must've stretched it to fill that by accident. Had he left if 16:9 in the 4:3 Youtube it would look very small right now.
Whenever I feel like I'm in a writer's stump, or I'm having no hope in writing, I always watch this scene. This is one of the best scenes from the film! 'Finding Forrester' is one of the best films and inspirational of all time!
"Why else did majesties break their tensions, on broken hearted queens and lives? The certainty of majesties living their full fronted, downtrodden deprives the royalties of reality.

lol but I still lobby that Walken has the best voice, his accent isn't even able to be categorized...its like a new york accent got into a fight with a chicago accent. :p thats just what i've always thought
Here's the difference: when Sean Connery slaps his wife he gets laid like 5 seconds later, when joe schmoe does it she calls the cops 5 seconds later.
Haha I thought that famous line was ridiculous when it first came out, and it's taken on an even funnier and more epic level now that it's become the butt of many memes now.
its fucked up. i remember when my friend and i would make fun of this, when the commercials were on tv. if we only knew how far someone would take it.
We were watching this in English class today, and everyone started laughing as Connery said "Punch the keys!" and "You're the man now dog!" It's pretty cool.
BWUAHHA HAA, Watched this in English class back in highschool in a slap happy mode and a was laughing like a retard so the teacher removed me from the room. The only one who chuckled was the nerd in the corner
thanks for uploading the vid, but in this movie, did they say the n word at all in it?? so why use that tag. and i know everybody is hounding you about it, but it seem you have alot of tags as it is. i think that's why people are calling you ignorant because your ignoring the fact that it does offend people, especially people who did not creat that word. other than that, your the man now dog!!
"in this movie, did they say the n word at all in it??"
actually they did once
"your ignoring the fact that it does offend people,"
on the contrary, those people are ignoring the fact that there is no valid reason to be offended in the first place. The fact that people keep ignorantly attacking me about the tag just makes me want to keep it there all the more as a statement.
well, all i have to say is to each his own. plus it's your video upload, so you have a right to your tags,and it's your vid,but i think you know already know as long as you have a word like that tagged up, your going to get a reaction to it. especially when it's a word that is vague and demeaning to a certain race. but if your not directly saying to a person, and it's in the movie, hey leave your tag up.
doubt it man. i'm mixed and i know damn well that nigger is a ignorant and foolish term for someone that is african or african descent. are you white?? if so, you have no clue. no offense but your wrong. this term has been disrespectful for too long. your ignorant and foolish if you don't think otherwise.
well than if it is a word that is disrespectful, than why do African Americans use it to talk to each other? why would the purposely disrespect their friends and family? that doesnt make very much sense now does it?
Actually, I am not racist, but I believe that the only reason African Americans call each other that, is simply to spite the White man, and gain sole custody of the word. It sounds racist, I know.

It would be like having a video where 'Spic' is used as a tag, despite that the word isn't used BUT the clip features a latino person.
Does including that tag make you racist? No, it makes you ignorant. Racist happens later.
Also, let's ponder this: what type of person would use 'nigger' as a search tag for this scene? I would postulate that the more common tags would be 'YTMND,' 'Finding Forrester,' 'Man,' 'Now,' 'Dog,' or 'Sean Connery.'
The insufferable Rex writes: "the word itself, especially in this context, is used in a racist way"
Stop making such a fool of yourself. There IS no context - that is precisely the reason why it is you who are being ignorant and assumptive.
You assign meaning and intent to strangers, from a word which was not even spoken or used in a sentence. This makes you ignorant. If you believed I were black, you would have had nothing to say. This makes you racist.
"Is that your argument? 'Everyone else does it/It gets me page-views - why are you on MY case about it?'"
No, that isn't an argument. It was stating the obvious in response to your birdbrained "riddle me this" that you were apparently too stupid to figure out yourself.
