Renaissance Man - St. Crispen Speech PVT Benitez

One of the most moving scenes in any movie I have seen. This is near the end of the movie when SGT Cass "challenges" Benitez to recite some Shakespeare. To me it seems like SGT Cass wants them all to fall on their faces and not recite a word, showing that they didn't learn a thing and didn't care. Also to show that Shakespeare has no place in battle-hardened warriors.

What he finds is that the speech moves not only the troops, but SGT Cass himself to near speechlessness!

This Poem, whew who here got chills? I think we all can learn lessons from Shakespeare he wrote on Love and War and things he saw and felt. He was an incredible writer, and it's obvious because of so many movies on stories he told. And this movie is so incredible, and it is very funny. Awesome Clip.
