Speeches from old movies still so relevant today they may send chills down your spine

All these clips, despite their age, will be for­ever rel­e­vant because they speak from the heart and love is the foun­da­tion of our being.  You could even say they are prophetic but it’s just proof that his­tory repeats itself as we have a recur­ring theme of oppres­sion and the peo­ple want­ing to be free.

First we’ll start with a clip from the 1981 movie, My Din­ner with Andre. If you found this inter­est­ing, the entire movie occurs dur­ing this one din­ner scene. The com­plete movie is avail­able on YouTube if you fol­low this link to the playlist.

 

 

Next is the very pop­u­lar speech from the 1976 movie called Network:

I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!”

 

 

Often touted as the great­est speech ever: From the 1940 film, The Great Dic­ta­tor,  spo­ken by Char­lie Chap­lin who we iron­i­cally know mostly for his silent films.
