Damn this is inspiring! One of the most profound scenes on the "human condition" in any movie. I'll never forget it. "If only for a minute".
Amen brother
Reminds me of Kipling: "If you can fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run..."
Awesome way to put it... great comment in only 4 short sentences. Adding "... if only for a minute" was just great!!!
@@Yoohoo2949 Wow. What a quote.
Arguably the best scene in the movie, one that has many great scenes
RIP to Pele. This scene means even more as time goes on.
The most underrated sports movie of all-time. This scene gives me chills.
Well said! 8 years later ... cheers brother!
Don't forget about the 1979 film Breaking Away. Both films could be part of a sport's movie film festival. Along with the original Bad News Bears, Hoosiers, and The Rookie.
It's probably the extra thing that made him win.
I agree with this.
One of my favorite movie speeches! It was Goddamned glorious!
Best scene in the movie.
The whole movie Louden thinks this is his journey. The look at the end when he realizes this is all bigger than him, that this is something important to other people, is just great acting. Fucking love this movie
You nailed it.
Spot on
I'm a 67yr old runner. I've watched this scene before every race for the last 20 years. Still inspiring
Bullshit. You are a runner. Money ain’t everything. Age got nothing to do with it. Onward!
one of the best scenes from a movie, still gets me to tear up!!!
epic scene...top5 movie from my childhood...not sure whether this scene or his speech while only the young blasting after he pins shute gets me the most...
Elmo was the best character in the movie. That speech gave me the chills! I wish I had a friend like that who could give me candid advice about life.
This Man should have won an Oscar for this scene alone... This touches your soul that no movie has done since. This is incredible.
Exactly! The under appreciate JC Quinn. May he rest in peace.
This speech was pretty goddam glorious
Rest in peace Pele...who passed away tday at age 82...December 29,2022
A "holy shit" moment in a boy's life.
This is one of my favorite movies ever because how it made me work in high school...Lunatic Fringe, wow
Elmo is Louden's FRIEND...Louden is just learning what that really entails. And Elmo lives a pretty dreary life, and he does not want to miss what could be another highlight. Matthew Modine was in his mid 20s when this was filmed, but the writers, the director, and Matthew himself conspired to make a vivid portrayal of what it like for a teen to learn how life works.
Nola, your point underlines that when we are growing up, we sometimes don't have the wisdom to know what is or isn't special. So sometimes we undervalue the significance of things. I know I certainly did and deprived some elder lived one's of sharing in special memories. I was such an idiot.
Mandatory viewing for every person/team right before a big game/match.
Its what happens in those six minutes. That is a real strong wrestling and life quote.
What does it mean
I was a member of an undefeated state champion hs football team in 89. I had an Elmo too. Tommy. He was an old navy vet. He and this guy looked just alike. My old man told me "He watches you every play." How could I let that guy down? 14-0 Undefeated. Its been 30 years and I still think about him every time I watch this movie.
The power of story. We should all be so lucky to have a Tommy or an Elmo in our life.
@@Yoohoo2949 Are you a decendant of Buddha?
Everything about this scene is incredible!! The acting, the props...everything
Agreed. The tissue on the shave cuts, throwing him the towel, the smoke wavering above the lamp. The snicker and pause before he admits to crying. Its all pretty god damn glorious.!
It's not the 6 minutes on the Mat, it's what you do in those six minutes. Damn Onions!
It's what happens* in that* six minutes
What a great scene. Still holds up after all these years, in fact it gets better, as I experience life. Like fine wine.
RIP Pele! Elmo knew!!
A great under-rated movie that I was able to be influenced by in my teens. Great scene that other generations should see and apreciate...
It’s worth it. To many of us miss the point the man is making . It ain’t about overcoming the opponent . It’s about overcoming ourselves
Speak truth, brother!!!!
Correct. It was Loudin’s Vision Quest.
One of the best 80s movies ever
He's got the toilet paper for his shave nick. Very authentic, blue collar and lends a hell of a lot of credibility to the scene and the character of Elmo. His tattoo probably means he was in the military as well.
R.I.P Pele
When the topic of best sports movie pep talks comes up, I never see this mentioned. This is freaking epic!!!!!!
Gives me chills too, still, all these years later!!! What a fabulous, incredible, motivating movie!!!❤️
Mary, I agree with you. There should never be a shortage of inspiring moments in our lives, as the character Elmo notes. They help us vicariously transcend our sometimes hum drum existence. If you think about watching sports in general, we are always looking for those sublime moments when something magical will happen. It then becomes a shared collectively transforming experience.
Onr more thing. If you watched the movie Victory, you got to see a hollywood slow mo of Pele executing that very kind of kick in glorious technicolor. When you connect the two in your mind, it is a glorious memory!
Great scene from a great movie.
RIP PELE
THIS is one of the GREATEST FREAKING MOVIES EVER MADE.... EVER!!!
As an OG athlete for most of my life, this movie inspired me to keep pushing, reaching my motocross goals which did NOT come naturally to me.
I was the guy most Pro MX racers wanted to be in school, a 3 LETTER guy, football, wrestling, AND track. I raced BMX just out of high school and went from Novice to Pro in 18months, 🤯
I LIVED Sports, and yet riding and racing the dirt bike took me almost a DECADE to learn how to WIN! 🤯😏😎✌🏾💪🏾💪🏻👍💖🏁🏁🏁..
...and it was worth every broken bone, every sprain, every ache when tired muscle in the gym were BEGGING me to just STOP....
.... but in the pursuit of chasing something bigger than yourself, something that's so scary, so daunting, but is HOOKED into your Soul, you must go on, your MUST go on, the NOT KNOWING I'd you had what it takes would drive you more nuts that facing you're biggest challenge and falling just short.
For all I've given up, I'd do it all over again if I were young and had the chance. I would've gotten myself coaching and a mentor at MOTOCROSS like I did towards the end of my racing days when I DESTROYED my local competition. Had I had a coach at 19, I KNOW I could've turned Pro.
Motivation, MOTIVATION is one of the MAIN KEYS to success in anything, racing BMX, MX, or building your fledgling coaching business off the ground, even summoning up the guts to ask the girl or guy you are crushing on out for a date.
"Take a pause to find the CAUSE...
When you know your WHY, the limit is BEYOND the SKY."
- Coach Michael
In this movie, seeing how much it meant to Elmo the cook made it NOW MORE important to the wrestler...if you've seen the movie, you know what happened 💪🏻💖🏁😎
I know a young man, a National Level age group Swimmer in high school. I was HIS driving coach. I had him from the beginning so he picked up no bad habits that had to be changed. We talked sports on almost every drive. His mom told me today he's about to live out a dream after many dedicated years of pushing himself....a story not too different from one in this flick.
I'm SO PROUD of Wyatt Rutishauer.... Remember the name, you heard of him in here first. 🇩🇪🏁🇺🇲

Happy to see this movie still being respected.
Pele - RIP to the GOAT.
I love Pele, and he was mine, and everyone's hero as a boy....and he was the GOAT. But then came Messi.
Pele passing away today, I remember this scene 😢
EXAMPLE OF HEART
MAGICAL SCENE
I cry (at this part) every time I watch this movie.
There are dozens of football, baseball and basketball movies. I'm a former High School wrestler. This is OUR movie. Best sport on the planet. I was blessed to do it for a few years.
RIP Pele
Proof that God has a place in our entertainment. Movies, music and television even. I was on the wrestling team from the 6th grade until my junior year. Every time we watched this film I would cry during this scene and I never cared what any of my teammates thought. It was truly man at his best fully awake to the glory of life!!!...
Time to train...
I watched this movie so many times at the drive-in. Just visited Spokane last year and drove by the filming locations.
This is a fantastic and underrated scene. Beautiful.
This scene should be showed to every high school student.
he spoke the truth
Beautiful monologue and one of the best movies of the 80s.
RIP to Pele
I used this speech to motivate my wrestler just before he ran out of the tunnel in the State Finals…he got pinned. 😳
😂
Wow! Intangibles.
When I heard the news, I had to come here. RIP Pele! 🙏
Great scene
good quote
Easily in the top 10 scenes of a short order cook talking to a co-worker about the majesty of watching Pele in cinema history...
I cant find that Pele goal anywhere on RUclips. LoL
Try the movie " Victory"
ruclips.net/video/mERPURR07QM/видео.html
Great scene.
Chills. Kind of why we watch sports
I started crying, Ya that’s right crying
2021 Vision Quest...👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽
They dock you for that.
They do?? F*ck this sh!t, I gotta get back to work!
How do you scream in Spanish ? 😂. Great movie
A very fitting tribute to Pele. One of the greats gone..
Wow! Now thats acting! Todays so called actors Clooney,DeCaprio,Depp,Pitt,this guy just mopped the floor with them! He deserved an Oscar for his porformance!Great movie!
Better than an Oscar, his performance lives still on RUclips and grateful viewers will keep it that way.
Wow, this movie stirs up some old feelings,,,,
Dana sent me here 😢
Ahhh, back when writer’s actually wrote for content, character development and pay-off!
That was the best encouragement, that sealed it for him.
this about Pelé in world cup 1970?
Vastly underrated scene!
One of the best scenes in any movie.
It's not just what happens it's who's watching glory be to the father his son and Mary both
Came back to this after the tragic news, RIP you absolute legend Pele.
RIP Pele
Completely underrated movie. Lost in the shuffle of all the 80’s teen movies. The book on which the movie is based is an excellent read as well. Great story.
Still unreal how many times I watch it.
A quote from a different movie but still relevant: "Life all comes down to a few moments...this is one of them."
I grew up without a Father...Damn, I wish I had somebody that loved me like this Man loved this kid. Beautiful.
Exactly how I felt watching Steph Curry’s last 3 mins of ‘24 Olympics🥇🏀 game 🆚 🇫🇷
I had a heart attack at 56. Started boxing to recover. Ended up doing two Blue Collar Boxing matches. One at 57 and another at 58. I won both. It’s definitely not the six minutes.
My senior yr . Listening to lunatic fringe thru my walkman warming up on the floor at the state wrestling championships in Columbus Ohio 1989. Something you never forget.
If you want to know what growing up and going to highschool in the 80s was like, this is it. This is about your soul and over coming the odds against you. This movie is America. F'n brilliant. 😊
One of the best monologues I've even connected with in movies in my 50 years. So _real_
Here because of Simmons
He knows Lowden is gonna do something special…..there’s a way that he puts that tie on, and those little specks of toilet paper soak up his blood from his shaving nicks. This is when Lowden knows he’s not going to be denied
Money comes and goes millions of athletes die everyday that have achieved millions there are bench players that made millions over there careers that are forgotten tomorrow. But LEGENDS never die they live forever. Set the tone separate yourself and cement yourself as one of the greatest to ever do it
There are not many movie's that touch my soul, this one did. This is America.
Beautifully written, masterfully acted
This no name actor completely stole the scene and really cemented what this whole movie is about.
This scene is so fn brilliant it sends chills up my spine. Trillion 👍
Great scene... Great movie... Great decade.
Such a great scene , in a fantastic film !!!
the greatest speech ever.
Simmons sent me here .
...but no pressure
It even can happen in less.
Dana brought me here.
The greatest bi-sexual athlete, soon to be space gynecologist, movie of all time...hands down.
Brilliance
RIP Pele' lift us sad ass human beings up even for a moment
Dedicated to the wrestler in my life, my son.
It was this...
30 years later and we find out he was crying because his TV only got the Mexican Channel.
Lol
You son of bitch.... lol.
Sounders FC!
