*About*
On the Waterfront is a 1954 American drama film about mob violence and corruption among longshoremen. The film was directed by Elia Kazan and written by Budd Schulberg. It stars Marlon Brando, Eva Marie Saint, Rod Steiger, Karl Malden and Lee J. Cobb. The soundtrack score was composed by Leonard Bernstein. It was based on a series of articles written in the New York Sun by Malcolm Johnson.
*Speech*
If you watch On The Waterfront and really listen to the emotional speech Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando) gives you truly understand about the consequences of some choices in life, and what you miss out on if not given the right chance. It gives the idea that your life will never be complete if someone doesn't give you that chance. And the phrase "I could've been a contender" is now a legendary movie quote.
Thanks for watching. If you have any speeches which you'd like me to upload then just send me a message and I'll do my best to upload it as quickly as possible.

The only thing that irritates me about this scene, and i'm not sure if it is just as I have seen it so many times, but the editing really has brando's head jumping about position.
