"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,"

@martinasiner Hilarious!!!

lilo brancato gives one of the most powerfully understated speeches of all time. One cannot compare this version to Branagh's or Olivier's without doing injustice to the subtext and median involved. Where Branagh and Olivier sought to approximate a submersion into the late 16th century Renaissance, Brancato used a monotone to inspire. Note his use of eye motion behind his glasses and his Brooklyn accent as he rallied his comrades in much the same way as did Branagh.

@matthound 'Branagh's interpretation of it couldn't motivate a teenage boy to mow the lawn.' Whaaat? you're kidding right? This was ok and was refreshingly different, but Branagh's version makes me want to jump up and kill Frenchmen or anyone else for that matter.

@thejohnmithredux I totally agree with you. It is the only one that feels real. (besides a good reading of it of course). Branagh, are you kidding me? He is a total puss. This was a batlle cry speech that emboldened battle hardened men to face impossible odds! Branagh's interpretation of it couldn't motivate a teenage boy to mow the lawn.

@norcaldj that's the name of the speech LOL! are you joking around or are you actually that dumb.
-
why doesn't Branagh do it this well? randomly changing your rhythm and talking in a goofy voice makes his inferior.
