"The Lion in Winter (1968)"
Movie Monologues
IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063227/

My life, when it is written, will read better than it lived. Henry Fitz-Empress, first Plantagenet, a king at twenty-one, the ablest soldier of an able time. He led men well, he cared for justice when he could and ruled, for thirty years, a state as great as Charlemagne's. He married out of love, a woman out of legend. Not in Alexandria, or Rome, or Camelot has there been such a queen. She bore him many children. But no sons. King Henry had no sons. He had three whiskered things but he disowned them. [to his sons] You're not mine! We're not connected! I deny you! None of you will get my kingdom; I leave you nothing and I wish you plague- may all your children breach and die! [storms out the corridor, turns and looks back] My boys are gone. I've lost my boys.

  • The acting in A Lion in Winter surpasses much of what is called fine acting in all of movie history. Peter O'Toole is a force of nature in this role. Hepburn matched his Henry line for line, scene for scene.

  • Peter O Toole is beyond fantastic and when he is gone I will be very very sad and upset.

  • Ottimo..!!

  • Why does this remind me so much of bryan cranston.

  • THIS is an actor.

  • And he is still living too

  • reminds me of anthony hopkins, especially as Odin.

  • Dear YouTube designer/programmers: PLEASE redesign the comment system so people can tell WHAT THE *** these comments are referring to.

    "I agree with you" --- AGREE WITH WHO???

    I suggest you look into "threading", using indentation. It's only been around for 20 years or so. It would make it possible to know what the FUCK people are talking about.

  • awe..

  • @Ateisthortlak You're Alright Ateisthortlak. You're alright.
