A Tribute to the Greats
Loading...
Uploaded by double7007 on May 4, 2007
A photo and video montage honoring some of America's greatest individuals in various fields including the arts, athletics, science, technology, film, television, acting, public service, and the judiciary. Each individual in this montage excelled in their respective field through sacrifice and by overcoming significant obstacles. For that reason, and due to my own personal admiration of the individuals shown here, I have compiled this montage. It is obviously not inclusive due to editing constraints, and therefore video responses are definitely welcome!
Inspiration came from fifchick03's "A tribute to the legends" which can be found here:

Background music is from salomevaquero's video "James Dean- One Short Life...3 Unforgettable Films" which can be found here:

Hope you all enjoy it :)

I will look forward to other videos from you, my son Seth who is 20 years old was so happy you included George Washington, he thinks he was "the man", and oh God help us, we need Martin Luther King today, what a man

Fantastic video, loved it, it was a great work and a sensitive video. Btw (lol) I loved the music too. It's from the soundtrack of "Indecent Proposal" and the composer is John Barry. Congratz, five stars and favs:)

i didnt say this in my previous comment but brando's speech epitomized what this video is about. what it is to be human
mason5r 4 years ago
Thank you so much for noticing that (or at least, pointing out that you noticed that). I put it in at the end of the video for a reason and that was - in addition to portraying humanity - to show that many people fail, still others succeed and if you can relate to what brando's speech is saying after having seen all the people before it, maybe you'll be inspired a bit to give it all a (or another) shot :)
