    A perfect speech. Word perfect, not read off a teleprompter. Humble yet aware of his own greatness. His mother. His father. Fountainbridge name checked, where it all began. A profound observation about learning to read and the quality of novels, scripts. An acknowledgement of the qualities admired in colleagues. An incredibly funny joke that only a person of great experience can deliver. Profound gratitude.

    That Scottish sense of humour was always noticeable in Sean Connery, notice how all the audience are immersed intensely in what Sean has to say, true respect for a great actor.
    RIP Sean. 🙏👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    Awesome to see sir Sean Connery so real, raw and emotional here. It would be very sad if people just remembered him (wrongly) as some "misogynist" because he said some spicy things abouit women in an interview once. His wife obviously admired and adored him (and he her) and he seems like a good man (insofar as one can judge from a distance).

  • @michaelpurdie6909
    @michaelpurdie6909 3 месяца назад +4

    He was born in our great capital and raised in Fountainbridge. In 1930, 55yrs and 20 miles away, I was born.
    His upbringing was in an area that epitomised what (at that time) was to live with nothing of monetary means. Industrious and people of grit were second to none...Sean Connery dreamed bigger than just these absolute requirements as a Scotsman. He gave our country a gift, bigger than any award of gold or glamour.
    70yrs on, I worked for an Investment Management Firm with Assets Under Management of Over $7 trillion.....a mere 1000 yards from where he grew up. On my lunchbreaks, I would take time to walk the same paths, understand what it was to have not only hopes, dreams....but to remember who made my great country what it is today.
    So...thank you Sir Sean, for being everything I aspire to be.
    Michael

      Could someone please explain.? 🤔
      Context is everything.
      Wondering if it's in reference to Nazi Germany and the invasion of Poland, also the Arnold Schwarzenegger connection, is that because his father was a Nazi..? Or do i just have it wrong.?
      Back to the start. What does that have to do with Sean Connery.?

    Ok, I know I'll get some scoffs, but my dad had similar features to Sir Sean Connery (mustache, bald head and tall, and a man's man). And I looked at pictures of Mr. Connery before he died, and with his mustache and glasses, he looked so much like what my dad would have I started to cry.
    My dad loved Mr. Connery and his movies. We watched The Rock, The Hunt for the Red October, The Untouchables, and my dad's favorite, The Man Who Would Be King.
    I was very sad to hear of his passing, though he got to live many more years than my father did. I hope he realized how loved he was by his fans and his family.
