I'm usually much more of a Will Smith kinda girl but Bill Pullman is strangly sexy in this scene. Think it's the 'world's most powerful man' giving an impassioned speech. This is still such a great film.
Replace everything with "so horribly written and cheezy I would feel ashamed being an American watching this, but luckily I am also illiterate and retarded so I do indeed like it".
@DrBeeRye it's moving because it's taken from the excellent Dylan Thomas poem, whose first stanza is "Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
I wouldn't say they ripped off Thomas or anything like that, but they effectively incorporated a close paraphrase of Thomas' words into the speech, and even managed to keep the two contexts intact.
@cavemansol Haha dude I was 12 too! I'm kind of glad it came out when it did, before the graphics got more high tech. It retains a sort of quaint nostalgia. Damn, we're getting old.
Every 4th of July I see people just drinking beer, eating burgers, and blowing up fireworks. But no one ever takes time to remember the sacrifice of these brave men, or remember the tear-jerking speech from President Pullman. People can be so selfish
hahaa if histoy is any kind of indicator, as soon as all the aliens are dead and gone and the world is rebuilt people will be again at each others throats
Unfortunately, if any scenario remotely close to this occurred we wouldn't be hearing from any of our politicians, let alone the President.. They'd be as far below ground as possible, while we were all getting barbecued lol...
In class, I was asked by my teacher, "What is the most famous speech in American history?" It's world history, but it's when President Whitmore spoke addressed the people about fighting aliens to save mankind.
Romney or Obama wouldn't stand a chance if Bill Pullman would run for president in November. He's a war veteran and when it comes to defending America from an alien invasion he gets into his Jet Fighter and personally leads the assault. Hero.
Awesome speech, chills every time! But I find it somewhat sad that this speech is more emotionally invoking than anything Obama has said in the last four years...
i was 10 years old when i first watched this video exactly 15 years i watched it again i still have the chills on my spine,,shss,,bill pullman is the best
Mankind we stand together it dont matter if ur from the USA or London we all stand together if alians attacked we would all fight for our independents day I right to live I'm a kiwi and that gets me ever bloody time
@buddhastalin No, its actually one of the best speeches in any film ever. Are you an American? Even tho, ya know what? Either way, thats not what its about. Its about putting aside our petty differences. President Thomas Whitmore 1996 great movie. You simply, for lack of a better word, suck. A really big fat one.
Great speech from a great movie. Some people need to step down from their high horses and stop pretending they are sophisticated because of trashing a movie for not being 'fine art'.
I love it when it pans to the Army General looking on in immense approval, thinking like "yes, thats how a commander addresses an army before a battle, go on my son!".
@dalektaliban No, Gears 2 speech sounds alot like the Presidents Speech in Independence Day. Gears 2 was made in 2008 but Independence Day was made in 1996. That gave the gears 2 creators 12 years to find the right speech to use.
@kostolomac222 The United States president never saved the world to begin with, only the exact opposite. It wouldn't be another "once more" as you stated in your comment.
@kostolomac222 haha i know thank god USA exist, if not, i bet the world would suffer proverty, there would be racism, there would we wars, i mean, we would all be dead by now ...
@kostolomac222 right... when was the last time the American President saved the world? They waited until the last mintue in WW1, waited years before joining WW2 by which point the vastly more important Russians had enterred the war, and the Cold War was an ideological war that was fought with the help of NATO, and the rest of the west have continued on left idologically anyways. I think by again, you mean never.
Uhh..how come in all Sci Fi movies involving Aliens always portray the Aliens to be technologically superior and the humans winning. What if it were the other way
around?. What if we were superior to the Aliens and we got trashed?
@MrHelmyabdullah there about 2 billion stars just in the Milky way, assuming they want a planet like ours they would have to find it first. the chances are..... so astronomical that I can not even fadom
