  • /watch?v=0q_9WU8r9ZA  EVERYONE MUST SEE THIS

  • 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.

  • That's quite an emphatic salute.

  • @Useless2112 Ive always hated that guy lol

  • Best, freking speach of mankind EVER! Always will be & never get topped !

  • this shit gives me goosebumps every time

  • Quand on entends cette vidéo, on a tous envie d'être Américain, moi le dernier !

    When we hear this tape, we would like all to be an American , I am the last .

  • Its sad but im pretty sure that even an alien invasion that threatens all mankind wouldn't bring mankind together at this point.

  • Goose bumps. Every. Single. Time.

  • exciting speech.

  • Agent Casey?

  • it's sad that we ought to have an alien invasion to unite ourselves...

  • I remember watching this 11 times while on a 24 hour flight from Australia to London. That was a fun flight.

  • 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".

  • @AtlasRedux You're a bigger buzzkill than buzzkillington.

  • Comment removed

  • @AtlasRedux About as "cheezy" as a 44 second video of somebody scratching their cat? A cat named after a lion from a Disney movie, no less.

  • this movie stunk

  • Thumbs up for the guy overdoing the salute.

  • It's so cute how they have difficulties to make the difference between people from their country and the entire Mankind in United-states

  • Im British and i love this Speech , why cant we be united in real life :-)

  • When the world declared in one voice we will not go quietly into the night, we will not vanish without a fight!

    That moment is truly moving

  • @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.

  • When i saw this in theaters as a 12yr old kid, i had to pee at least 7 times during this movie...It was just to intense.

  • @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

  • probably best speech ever

  • @Medragoon I laughed hard in that too :p

  • 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

  • This speech was way better than The King's Speech

  • Aliens ever try to attack us.... send them this speech

  • The speech itself is a bit cliche. But the delivery... the delivery is perfect.

  • Bill Pullman for President 2012!

  • fukin badass president

  • Best. Fake. President. Ever.

  • @freePUAbootcamp I'd take this guy over Obama.

  • @ExpertGamer951 I like how he didn't blame anything on his predecessor, and just worked to solve the current problem.

  • 35 people dislike this... they are obviously aliens.

  • I came here for the Super-proud boy scout at 1:37, what a guy

  • #Portsmouth

  • Greatest inspirational movie speech ever.

  • play this while listening to two steps from hell heart of courage

  • Inspirational.../

  • If this speech doesn't motivate you... Then nothing will.

  • I memorized this speech!

    

  • 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 1776 we won our independence from great Britian, who new.. 200 years later we would be winning it again but from aliens.

  • Source Fed inspired me to come here!

  • source fed

  • AMERICA!!!!

  • I like the part in this movie where the first lady is dying from internal bleeding and no one's doing a damn thing to help her.

    You'd all be DEAD if it wasn't for my DAYVID!!! Pass the motza!

  • Yep, we have save the world once again xD.

  • worst performance ever.

  • Obama would not stand a chance of Bill Pullman run for President lol.

  • They played this as an intro to a concert I went to. It was cool.

  • @krauser212 The Menzingers right? Just saw them the other day and had to come watch this video too lol

  • @Gamushara haha yea. I saw them in Austin, Texas a week ago. I was mainly there to see A Day to Remember. Where did you see them?

  • @krauser212 Columbia, SC this past weekend. I was mainly there to see Rise Against but the A Day to Remember crowd went fucking insaaaane! haha.

  • Makes me cry nearly every time.. emotive language or what!!! :')

  • Replace 'mankind' by 'internet' and you've got a great anti-SOPA campaign.

  • @JasnyZyd it is 5:00 am in the morning at dawn

  • why is he saying "good morning" when it's clearly the evening?

  • @JasnyZyd its the early hours

  • @JasnyZyd If you get up early enough in the morning, it is still dark.

  • feel sorry for the mayor... the president is all like "mayor, let me show you how it's done" 0:00

  • i just shed a man tear

  • 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.

  • @wout91 yess, better than verman

  • 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...

  • Chills everytime

  • how come nobody has posted the ariel battle scene from this movie wtf!

  • Aliens picked the wrong day to screw with humanity!

  • MURRICA!

  • Funny. Tyranny, oppression, persecution. Sounds eerily family.

  • liek dis if u cry evrytim

  • I wish he was president now!

  • Press 8 to celebrate Independance Day!! :D

  • Chills ran through my spine and my leg feels like a pin cusion. Love this speech.

  • Epic

  • We need a president like him.

  • Well think about this if only the Aliens had virus software we would have lost..... thank goodness they don't know about Norton.....

  • @Medragoon What the Aliens really needed was their own Jeff Goldblum lol

  • @Medragoon

    They lost because they had Mcafee

  • @Medragoon BAAHAHAHAHA

  • 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

  • And thus the New Order was born.

  • It's been fifteen years since this movie came out in theaters and this speech STILL gives me chills every time I hear it!!!

  • whoever wrote that speech deserves to have gotten more awards than the film and the actors, cas that speech was pretty epic!

  • Is it necessary that alien exist so that mankind will unite?. if Yes, I hope ALIENS exist.

  • I think of Ron Paul when I see this.

    WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY IN THE NIGHT! WE WILL NOT VANISH WITHOUT A FIGHT!

    RESTORE AMERICA NOW!

    RON PAUL 2012!!!!

  • 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

  • gets me every time

  • As fucked up as it is, an Alien invasion is the only thing that would unite all the 7 billion idiots walkin this Earth with their pity differences.

  • @luopio27 i think your comment is offensive to anyone in a wheelchair and amputees, that is all

  • @luopio27 Pretty much.

  • BEST PRESIDENT EVER!

  • この映画嫌いだな。

  • WEE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY IN TOO THE NIGHT!!!

  • this is the dumbest speech ever put on film

  • Comment removed

  • @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.

  • @buddhastalin awww, you must have such a miserable life if thats how you look at it

  • いんでぇぺんですぅでぇぇぇぇーい!

  • 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'.

  • 68 Live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • So ein daehmlicher ami Film, nein danke!!

  • 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!".

  • Bad acting, awful dialogs, but that speech, ..., was f**cking amazing!!!

  • Aliens: so, at last we meet for the first time for the last time.

  • Love this movie! :D Awesome speech! :)

  • sounds alot like the gears 2 speech

  • @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.

  • It's a great speech. I realized I saw a dude with a mustache holding a AK-47 what is he doing with that gun their fighting in air not land.

  • 30 aliens invaded earth that day

  • and the american president saves the world once more! lol

  • @kostolomac222 your cuntTree is a joke!

  • @FUwogs god bless the usa ! thx for saving the world from the alien terrorists!

  • @kostolomac222 which or what god? the roman god? or OUR gods??

  • @FUwogs ofc the one with the gray beard and the red hat

  • @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 ...

  • @newworldorder0829 talk about racism lol

  • @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.

  • @rpottage it`s a MOVIE man

  • @rpottage yeah, and i dont think will smith and jeff goldblum really went to space and launched a nuke in the mothership

  • Got to do this speech for drama :/

  • GIVE EM HELL BOYS!

  • Shit movie. Great speech.

  • @yinyengz515 Are you kidding me? That was made in 1996 and it's one of the best movies ever made.

  • @Vjol1 Damn straight. I still cry when Russell kamikazed straight into the laser, for his family... : (

  • @Vjol1 no child, this movie is just bad.

  • @yinyengz515 Child? I'm 18.

  • @Vjol1 Point proven.

  • @Vjol1 Calling it "one of the best" would be giving such a mediocre film too much praise. Well, that's only my personal opinion of course.

  • @DestinyKnightX Well said!

  • "We will not go quietly into the night, we will not vanish without a fight" One of my favorite quotes

  • alright boys, lets give Mr. Kay some cover.....gentlemen, LETS PLOW THE ROAD

  • 29 people wish the aliens took over!

    wtf?

  • Ahahah what was Clint Eastwood unwilling to work on such a corny fucking piece of shit movie they had to get Bill Pullman in it to act like him?

  • It's funny how some people can turn a -fictional- speech in a movie into something promoting American propaganda and Patriotic "bullshit"...

  • inspirational scene ruined by 1:36

  • Comment removed

    WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT

    WE WILL NOT VANISH WITHOUT A FIGHT

    WE ARE GOING TO LIVE ON, WE ARE GOING TO SURVIVE!!

  • @Berry29tm Maybe not the exact words but that's pretty much what Bush said in his speech on Sept. 11.

  • ALLAH AKBHAR ALLA AKHBAR!!! THIS IS OUR LAND ALLA AKHGBAR!!!

  • @quezcatol mate stop trolling u twat, ur from sweden, freddie ljungberg would be ashamed of u

    WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT

    WE WILL NOT VANISH WITHOUT A FIGHT

  • Anyone else agree that Russell Case deserved an Oscar for dusting the wrong field?

  • WE WILL NOT VANISH WITH OUT A FIGHT

  • my favorite movie quote of all time.

  • most cringeworthy scene ever made in cinematography!

  • It's a great speech, but the end music and the cheering makes the moment so corny.

  • @thedude1325 Corny or amazing?

  • The corniest speech in movie history.

  • @DJbruehl You haven't seen very many movies then...

  • @Counterweight22

    I've seen every AFI top 100 movie. This speech, and this movie, is a corny piece of crap

  • 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?

  • @Haersh009 Avatar? lol

  • @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

  • Goosebumps every time.
