Re: Movie Quotes
Greatest speech ever which always makes hairs stand up on my neck is from Seven Samurai (one of my favourite films).
The scene-
As the other samurai are making plans, Kikuchiyo comes in with a great cache of spears, armor, and other war gear that the farmers had hidden away. The company falls silent in outrage, for they know these were taken from samurai on the run. The tension becomes too much for Kikuchiyo, who tears away all pretence in a sort of fit that captures the total attention of everyone present
What do you think farmers are? Saints? They are the most cunning and untrustworthy animals on earth. . . . They are full of lies. When they smell a battle they make themselves bamboo spears. And then they hunt. But they hunt the wounded and the defeated. Farmers are miserly, craven, mean, stupid, murderous! You make me laugh so hard I'm crying. But then—who made animals out of them? You! You did—you samurai! All of you damned samurai! And each time you fight you burn villages, you destroy the fields, you rape the women and enslave the men. And you kill them when they resist. You hear me—you damned samurai!
Kambei, the leader, replies- 'You're a Farmers son, aren't you?'
'When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing — they believe in anything. '
