Funny how the simplest things can have such a lasting influence on our growth and development. Further, Ramirez is right: man has overcome the hardest of hurdles through sheer will and determination.
Sure. What does the sun come up? Are the stars just pinholes in the sky? Who knows. Very wise words...for a moron. Ramirez lived almost a 1,000 years and that's the best he could come up with?
Ah Highlander, A Scottish man plays a ancient Egyptian disguised as a Spaniard and Frenchman plays a Scottish highlander. To quote Sir Patrick Stewart "ACTING!"

"Tell me. How did it happen, for God's sake!" Ramirez' reply is what stayed with me all this time. Giving me the hope that perhaps I too, might be an immortal. Collecting treasures and experiences. Knowledge and wisdom. With the hope to fight the final battle in hopes to end it all in the quickening. I am sure, at least for me, the secret of the success for this movie is here. Not because they're aliens...!!! A romantic ideal perhaps. ...amazing movie!
Hoping to be immortal is a thought probably from a young mind. Once you passed the halfway mark of your total expected liftime you'll soon not have those thoughts any longer when you feel the creeping of time and how aging creeps up on you without realizing. But don't think of that as a bad thing you'll much more easily will distinguish the things that are truly important to you and won't waste your time with things that are useless.
Develop your vocational skills through self-education, organic living, holistic health. Conventional society is mentally and spiritually dead and will inevitably become extinct. This life here on earth is a fight against reptilian corporate entities and diabolical forces. Don't lose your head.
The strange fact on this quote is that Immortals were actually alliens from a planet named Zeist. This was revealed to the movie Highlander 2 the quickening. But i could never understand why Connor and Ramirez couldn't remember their origin in the first movie! The whole continuity of the movies was a mess. Some people say that there were different universes with different continuities.
"You were born different men will want to drive you away. Like the people from Your Village" - That stuck with me. I experienced it first hand when you have opinions about many things that were not in line with ordinary thinking. But for me I see after years that things they found weird are normal now. So don't be afraid stand your ground for who you are.
It's not as much about "opinions not in line" but far more about the quality of these opinions, of one's thinking, of arguments etc. Either they are basically wise, based on some facts, logic and sense or... That's what I experienced, not one time in life.
These lines are the perfect example why we do NOT need to know everything about characters ...that really sucks.I'd rather stay with these words instead of that "Alien they come from another planet CRAP" the other movies of the saga gave us.
the second movie isn't cannon and apparently neither is highlander the source just take this movie and the series as cannon and don't worry about the other movies
there is something philosophic and spiritual in this movie... maybe more than we can expect. The final speciation is incoming,like in this immortals tale.
Best character ever! Connery doesn't even try to hide his Scottish accent even though he's supposed to be an Egyptian. They should never of ruined the storyline with Highlander 2, the whole planet Zeist element was dumb, I think the Old Guard movie sticks to the core idea of the Highlander story of warriors who can't die and keep living through wars and turmoil. Hopefully they are able to relaunch Highlander in the future with another actor.
Young Ramirez. Your grandfather was a great immortal and a great teacher. He taught me and Connor McLeod well. Because of his training and his teachings, I have lived and fought for centuries and I still stand on this ground and who knows, even more. One day, when you are forced to fight an immortal like myself, either you or your opponent will have your head come away from your neck. Always remember, fight with heart, faith and steel and always remember in that moment when you come face to face with your enemy. "There can be only one.".
And this is why there should have never been any sequels trying to explain The Game. This is truly a stand alone film and will be very difficult to top or remake.
This is why we have three versions of highlander two. Not only is Zeist at present a faraway star, but it exists in the past and the future as well. Because Zeist is Earth. There's nothing new under the sun. And we're immortal and cannot doe.
@@brawnydasco Movies - except some sort of really good and accurate documents - cannot teach properly any actual history. Usually just some strongly fictionalized and fabularized fragments of it. This is not what the movies are made for.
@@szarzyniecszczurzynski1902 I'm saying it's unfortunate that they don't teach the story of how the Immortals came to earth to fight to the death until there is only one. They'd rather go over some bullshit like the Gettysburg Address or the Battle of Hastings.
scottish doin spanish i think (because of the pearl earring)..nice n basic historic references back then 😂..put some eyeliner on a guy and you have keith richards or johnny depp too..love you sean, sleep safe ya sexy bastard
Could it be possible that Ramirez was born in Scotland himself but was captured as a slave child and then sent to Spain but he has no idea that he is from Scotland himself........ Now I know that's a long shot but hey that's logical lol

Why wouldn’t Ramirez gather an army to take down the Kurrgan? Even if there was some sort of honor code that demanded 1:1 fighting, why could they come at him as a group, and take turns when one tired or was dealt a serious blow and needed recovery time?
Even Kurgan said to his fellow combatants to leave McLeod only to him. Nobody fought him. So it was probably the part of the code/rules and one can see in the movie they treated it very seriously.
This whole premise was absurd. No matter which immortal won the "prize", mortal man would have devoured the crumb with a Julius Caesar type assassination that ended with a quick beheading. Whatever, I still enjoy the first film but not the following two sequels. They both sucked balls big time.
If Kurgan wins then the Otherworld will have won 10 prizes in a row and Earth will fall...... you edit *MacLeod* must ascend to be the earth's protector.... :-) Lord Raiden.
"With heart, faith, and steel." That line shook me as a kid. Lol
Same. Actually, that line has only grown more powerful for me as i get older.
It thrills me still
Same.

I wish the studios had learned that lesson.

Wise words Ramirez, rest in peace Sean Connery.

Oh he's not dead he's just immortal
F.
Thanks RAMIREZ/Connery wisdom
There was only One. RIP
The first Highlander is on my top list of best movies of all time. It's a shame they don't make em like this anymore.

Sean Connery - rest in peace - great line from Connor - How do you fight such a savage ? With Heart Faith Steel 👍
Here because Sean died today. My favorite Bond. But also a great Egyptian mentor to a Scottish character played by a Belgian man.
Belgian ? Isn't he french ?

@@CharlieBravoTango
True .
@@stormbringer2840 but I was referring to an old meme I saw some years ago!
Man passes away, but his carreer of what he did made him a true immortal. He will always live on.

Actually we have not minded a sequel...... If it was done right.
Words to live by.
With Heart Faith Steel …
The timing of soundtracks in this movie is grade-a.
Wait, the Kurgan is the most powerful immortal in the world? More powerful than Methos, the oldest immortal?

Hi, I’m Troy McClure...
I find it odd that Immortals have a set of established rules to the game but have no idea where they came from.
The history they won't teach in schools.
Fortunately, cinemas are cinemas and school is school.

He probably cared about the honor rules. There was a comic where the Kurgan got the shit kicked out of him by the 4 horseman, heh.
Yes
In the shorter version Ramirez replies, “how the hell do I know why we’re immortal”. 😂
This sums up why british northerners hate “educated” southerners. X
Нейтралка.
May it be Duncan MacLeod The Womanizer
This whole premise was absurd.
No matter which immortal won the "prize", mortal man would have devoured the crumb with a Julius Caesar type assassination that ended with a quick beheading. Whatever, I still enjoy the first film but not the following two sequels. They both sucked balls big time.
Sean connery makes this film watchable. He somehow makes the 80s slickness and silliness palatable
Not true. But for sure his appearance makes it a better movie.
