Max von Sydow monologue

[MrRazorblade999]

"The reason why they can never answer the question "How could it possibly happen?" is that it's the wrong question. Given what people are, the question is "Why doesn't it happen more often? Of course it does, in subtler forms" - So sad but so true!

[TheTractorjaws]

he is going to voice in skyrim!

[chinopisces]

@TheTractorjaws: And an awesome voice he is. I didn't even know until I met his character. I was like, "I know this person from somewhere..."

[dodeiale]

this movie is great and this monologue is hilarious

[billthestinker]

Max Von Sydow really brought this movie up, Woody knows how to pick them!

[susankhamilton]

I love this monologue, movie and Max von Sydow. I totally get Barbara Hershey's character in this movie; particularly her scene with Max von Sydow called 'We all had a terrific time', which contains the first couple lines of this piecemeal monologue. Certainly in my top 5 favorite Woody Allen flicks. Happy Birthday Woody!

[will79randomstuff]

@susankhamilton Absolutely agree. In this monologue he doesn't even sound like he's acting, which really shows the talent this man has.

[ZanyPete]

"... Nazis, deodorant salesmen..." LOL

Great monologue from a great movie. Thanks for posting.

[neptunecello]

This is genius! I just saw this movie last night, and figured someone would have put this monologue on here.

[buffilms]

can you imagine the level of a man that watches WRESTLING??? ha so much good dialogue in this move

[Picardy]

@buffilms I know. That's the line that kills me every time, but also the line that seems to insult some people the most - ha ha. I'm not even going to touch that one because I so strongly AGREE.

[buffilms]

@Picardy max's character is such a snob in the movie, but when he gets dumped you kinda feel for him. i heard max and barbara hershey got a standing O from the crew after they shot that scene

[creat3d]

@Picardy The only people I can imagine being insulted at that would be wrestling fans... and yes, it's so true ;)

[steverutsch]

This is just fantastic. It is too bad however that it ended just before he started talking about how Jesus would never stop throwing up if he came back and saw what was going on in his name. I remember thinking at the time that Max Von Sydow should have won an oscar for best supporting actor just on the basis of this short but brilliant monologue.

[Picardy]

@steverutsch

Woody Allen at least won a BAFTA for the screen writing of this film. I share his views and outlooks in a lot of his past films - more recently, he doesn't pontificate as much, which I miss. Thanks for your post - have a good day!

[rafaguimaandrade]

@steverutsch that part about jesus is perfect. haha

[isaacdavid1958]

yes, great man, wonderful, rich, dark voice, but the words were written by Woody Allen

[crusader037972]

very unfortunately, I watch wrestling, great line though.

[billysscreeningroom]

Great idea, well- executed. Just great.

[tracyburns76]

love you max

[tracyburns76]

I came to sweeden as a young girl from the us, but Max makes me proud to be a swede. love you max.

[Kbaca]

Great work, whoever put this together.

[Khomradeigor]

Max makes me proud tobe a Swede.

[debricdebroc]

Since more than 10 year he change nationnality to french...

[Khomradeigor]

he did? i'll be damned...

[Samalamalamdam]

It doesn't mean that he's no longer Swedish. He just decided to take French citizenship.

[Fmaj7toGsharp]

"Can you imagine the level of a mind that watches wrestling?" The first time I heard that line, I was on the floor laughing!

[Picardy]

I know what you mean - that line never fails to me make me laugh. It's priceless.

[Picardy]

As far as I know Max is still with us. Great dialoque written for him in this film. I love how the first time we hear him speak in the movie, he's sitting behind a plastic curtain. Great symbolism for his character to separate himself like this.

[Cosmoline]

Awesome film from a great actor. But your homage made me think he'd died, so I had to check IMDB.
