De la peli "Coach Carter"(Entrenador Carter), de Thomas carter, (2004). Con Samuel L. Jackson.

Ni tú ni yo ni nadie golpea más fuerte que la vida.
No importa lo fuerte que golpeas, sinó lo fuerte que pueden golpearte...
si tú sabes lo que vales, ve y consigue lo que mereces, pero tendrás que soportar los golpes...

¡Band of brothers!
El día de San Crispín:

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWBo8JGF43I[/ame]

De Enrique V, Kenneth Branagh , 1989

Shakespeare dixit:

What's he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin:
If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made
And crowns for convoy put into his purse:
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.

This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.'
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
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,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Y ahora la versión de 1944... con Laurence Olivier, nada menos:

Transcripción:

"Ah, little lad, you're staring at my fingers. Would you like me to tell you the little story of right-hand / left-hand? The story of good and evil? H-A-T-E! It was with this left hand that old brother Cain struck the blow that laid his brother low. L-O-V-E! You see these fingers, dear hearts? These fingers has veins that run straight to the soul of man. The right hand, friends, the hand of love. Now watch, and I'll show you the story of life. Those fingers, dear hearts, is always a-warring and a-tugging, one agin t'other. Now watch 'em! Old brother left hand, left hand he's a fighting, and it looks like love's a goner. But wait a minute! Hot dog, love's a winning! Yessirreee! It's love that's won, and old left hand hate is down for the count!".

Corben, una pregunta...¿no habías puesto antes un fragmento de "300"?

Por mi parte hoy una reflexión "histórica": ¿Quien ha aportado más al mundo: Italia o Suiza?

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv1QDlWbS8g[/ame]

Harry Lime (Orson Welles) dixit en "El tercer hombre", Carol Reed, 1949

Harry Lime's (Orson Welles) 'cuckoo clock' dialogue after a ferris wheel ride with Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten): "In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long, Holly."

Hoy un clásico bélico... si ya tuvimos aquí a Patton, ahora le toca a MacArthur:

Duty, honor, country

Douglas MacArthur (Gregory Peck), en "MacArthur, el general rebelde", Joseph Sargent, 1977.
(Recreación del discurso real, dado a los alumnos de West Point en 1962; un discurso que se ha acabado convirtiendo en todo un clásico de la retórica militar estadounidense)

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A99ooAeN2Q4[/ame]

Transcripción:

"Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, and what you will be. They are your rallying points. They give you a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a freshness of the deep springs of life, a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, an appetite for adventure over love of ease. In this way, they will teach you to be an officer and a gentlemen. From your ranks come the great captains who will hold the nation's destiny in their hands the moment the war tocsin sounds. The Long Gray Line has never failed us. Were you to do so, a million ghosts in olive drab, in brown khaki, in blue and gray, would rise from their white crosses thundering those magic words: 'Duty, Honor, Country.' This does not mean that you are warmongers. On the contrary, the soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war. But always in our minds ring the ominous words of Plato: 'Only the dead have seen the end of war.' ....The shadows are lengthening for me. The twilight is here. My days of old have vanished in tone and tint. They have gone glimmering through the dreams of things that were. Their memory is one of wondrous beauty, watered by tears, and coaxed and caressed by the smiles of yesterday. I listen vainly, but with thirsty ear, for the witching melody of faint bugles blowing reveille, of far drums beating the long roll. In my dreams I hear the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield. But, in the evening of my memory, always I return to West Point. Always there echoes and re-echoes: 'Duty, Honor, Country.' Today marks my final roll call with you. I want you to know that when I cross the river, my last conscious thoughts will be of The Corps, and The Corps, and The Corps. I bid you farewell."

(General Douglas MacArthur's acceptance speech to West Point cadets on May 12, 1962 on the occasion of his receiving the Sylvanus Thayer Award)

Y aquí el discurso real, por el propio MacArthur (sólo audio)

Hoy, un hombre valiente que llegó a Santo...

Locución final al jurado que acaba de condenarle a muerte...

Sir Thomas Moro, Paul Scofield, en Un hombre para la eternidad. Fred Zinnemann. 1966.

A partir del minuto 1,05

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX0_FGu8v9A[/ame]

"Since the Court has determined to condemn me, God knoweth how, I will now discharge my mind concerning the indictment and the King's title. The indictment is grounded in an act of Parliament which is directly repugnant to the law of God, and his Holy Church, the Supreme Government of which no temporal person may by any law presume to take upon him. This was granted by the mouth of our Savior, Christ himself, to Saint Peter and the Bishops of Rome whilst He lived and was personally present here on earth. It is, therefore, insufficient in law to charge any Christian to obey it. And more to this, the immunity of the Church is promised both in Magna Carta and in the king's own coronation oath...Not so. I am the king's true subject, and I pray for him and all the realm. I do none harm. I say none harm. I think none harm. And if this be not enough to keep a man alive, then in good faith, I long not to live. Nevertheless, it is not for the Supremacy that you have sought my blood, but because I would not bend to the marriage!!"

Y, ahora que se acerca Navidad:

George Bailey (James Stewart), en "¡Qué bello es vivir", It's a Wonderful Life (1946), Frank Capra.

Palabras en defensa de la memoria de su padre ante los ataques del cabronazo de Mr. Potter (Lionel Barrymore)...

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4ne13Zft9Q[/ame]

Transcripción:

"...Just a minute - just, just a minute. Now, hold on, Mr. Potter. Just a minute. Now, you're right when you say my father was no business man. I know that. Why he ever started this cheap, penny-ante Building and Loan, I'll never know. But, neither you nor anybody else can say anything against his character, because his whole life was... Why, in the twenty-five years since he and Uncle Billy started this thing, he never once thought of himself. Isn't that right, Uncle Billy? He didn't save enough money to send Harry to school, let alone me. But he did help a few people get out of your slums, Mr. Potter. And what's wrong with that? Why -- here, you're all businessmen here. Don't it make them better citizens? Doesn't it make them better customers? You, you said that they - What'd you say just a minute ago? They had to wait and save their money before they even thought of a decent home. Wait? Wait for what?! Until their children grow up and leave them? Until they're so old and broken-down that... You know how long it takes a workin' man to save five thousand dollars? Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you're talking about, they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn't think so. People were human beings to him, but to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they're cattle. Well, in my book he died a much richer man than you'll ever be... I know very well what you're talking about. You're talking about something you can't get your fingers on, and it's galling you. That's what you're talking about, I know. Well, I've - I've said too much. I -- you're the Board here. You do what you want with this thing. There's just one thing more, though. This town needs this measly one-horse institution if only to have some place where people can come without crawling to Potter."

Hoy un guiño...

Si hace unos días el amigo Corben nos sorprendía con el monólogo "Home? I have no home" de Bela Lugosi como el Dr. Vornoff en The Bride of the Monster, de Ed Wood (1955), hoy traigo el homenaje que le hizo Tim Burton en "Ed Wood" (1994), de la mano de Martin Landau, que repite gesto y discurso:

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0cifQL5Q6k[/ame]

"...Home? I have no home. Hunted, despised, living like an animal! The jungle is my home. But I will show the world that I can be its master! I will perfect my own race of people. A race of atomic supermen which will conquer the world!"

Uno muy reciente (para lo que vemos siempre por aquí ). Clint Eastwood en Gran Torino: "¿Nunca os habeis cruzado con alguien a quien no deberiais haber puteado?" El mas grande, sin duda

Hoy una de submarinos...

El Comandante Ramsey, Gene Hackman, se dirige a su tripulación antes de partir, en Marea Roja (Crimson Tide), Tony Scott, 1995.

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjRxdrg9BtU[/ame]

Transcripción:

"Little ducks, there's trouble in Russia. So they called us. And we're going over there and bringing the most lethal killing machine ever devised. We're capable of launching more firepower than has ever been released in the history of war. For one purpose alone: Keep our country safe.
We constitute the front line and the last line of defense. I expect and demand your very best. Anything less -- you should've joined the Air Force. This might be our Commander-in-Chief's Navy, but this is my boat. And all I ask is that you keep up with me. And if you can't, that strange sensation you'll be feeling in the seat of your pants will be my boot in your ass.
Ramsey: Mr. Cob?
Cob: Yes, Sir!
Ramsey: You're aware of the name of this ship, aren't you, Mr. Cob?
Cob: VERY aware, Sir!
Ramsey: It bears a proud name doesn't it, Mr. Cob.
Cob: VERY proud, Sir!
Ramsey: It represents fine people.
Cob: VERY fine people, Sir!
Ramsey: Who live in a fine, outstanding State.
Cob: OUTSTANDING, Sir!
Ramsey: In the greatest country in the entire world.
Cob: In the ENTIRE world, Sir!
Ramsey: And what is that name, Mr. Cob?
Cob: ALABAMA, Sir!
Ramsey: And what do we say?!
Ramsey & Cob: Go 'Bama'!
Crew: ROLL TIDE!!
Ramsey: Chief of the boat: Dismiss the crew.
Cob: Dismiss the crew! Aye, aye, Sir! Crew, department heads, attend to your department. Fall out!!

Como "extra" del discurso de hoy he encontrado una versión en italiano ilustrada con un montaje tipográfico especial:

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfbtpDCLZLo[/ame]

Para celebrar el 35 aniversario del estreno español de Tiburón...

La narración de Robert Shaw (Capitán Quint) sobre el hundimiento del USS Indianapolis en "Tiburón" ("Jaws"), Steven Spielberg, 1975.

En un mar infestado de tiburones 800 marineros perecieron y solamente 316 hombres salvaron la vida...

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHfz05E0DKo[/ame]

Transcripción:

"...So we formed ourselves into tight groups...the idea was, the shark comes to the nearest man and he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin'. Sometimes the shark go away. Sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into ya, right into your eyes. Y'know, the thing about a shark, he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn't seem to be livin' until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then - aww, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin', the ocean turns red, and in spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and rip ya to pieces..."

En vísperas de Navidad, un clasicazo:

Y aquí el mismo momento, pero de verdad:

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SKyfGK9brs[/ame]

Y aquí el homenaje que le hicieron a Gehrig con motivo del 70 aniversario de esa despedida, en el Yankee Stadium:

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu-F3vwPxjE[/ame]

Y aquí el famoso speech:
(el de verdad)

"Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth. I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans.

"Look at these grand men. Which of you wouldn't consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day? Sure, I'm lucky. Who wouldn't consider it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also, the builder of baseball's greatest empire, Ed Barrow? To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy? Sure, I'm lucky.

"When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to beat, and vice versa, sends you a gift - that's something. When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in white coats remember you with trophies - that's something. When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter - that's something. When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body - it's a blessing. When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed - that's the finest I know.

"So I close in saying that I may have had a bad break, but I have an awful lot to live for".

Y, para terminar, la versión del guión que interpreta Cooper:

"I have been walking onto ballfields for 16 years, and I've never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. I have had the great honor to have played with these great veteran ballplayers on my left -- Murderers Row, our championship team of 1927. I have had the further honor living and playing with these men on my right -- the Bronx Bombers, the Yankees of today.

"I have been given fame and undeserved praise by the boys up there behind the wire, my friends, the sports writers. I have worked under the two greatest managers of all time, Miller Huggins and Joe McCarthy.

"I have a mother and father who fought to give me health and a solid background in my youth. I have a wife, a companion for life, who has shown me more courage than I ever knew.

"People all say that I've had a bad break. But today . . . today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth."

De "Casablanca" (Michael Curtiz, 1942), hay muchos momentos, pero el de la despedida de Rick e Ilsa es uno de los más memorables: Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0Q5A__gWM4[/ame]

y en V.O:

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpoyshqB8-o[/ame]

Rick: I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.
Ilsa: But what about us?
Rick: We'll always have Paris. We didn't have, we, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.
Ilsa: When I said I would never leave you.
Rick: And you never will. But I've got a job to do, too. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that.
[Ilsa lowers her head and begins to cry]
Rick: Now, now...
[Rick gently places his hand under her chin and raises it so their eyes meet]
Rick: Here's looking at you kid.

No todo van a ser valores de los buenos... hoy un ejemplo de uno de los malos:

Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas, en Wall Street, 1987, Oliver Stone): "Greed is Good" ... la avaricia es buena.

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vscG3k91s58[/ame]

Y aquí subtitulado: (a partir del minuto 1.20)

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84th6YwtA0w[/ame]

Transcripción:
"The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA".

Bueno amigos, me voy unos dias de vacaciones y termino el año con uno de los monólogos más famosos de la historia del cine... aunque no diga gran cosa.

Robert De Niro como Travis Bickle en "Taxi Driver", Martin Scorsese, 1976:

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSuylzFZXb4[/ame]

"You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well, I'm the only one here. Who do the f--k do you think you're talking to?"

Y el extra de hoy: La autoparodia del propio de Niro en "Las aventuras de Rocky y Bullwinkle" (Des McAnuff, 2000)
