This really captures the spirit of how seniority cannot reach youth. Loyalty to lies is such a deep problem. If you believe a lie it will effect your whole life as if it's the truth, even though it's a lie. People live in a daily cycle.
One of my favorite speeches, I remember being in my early 20s and knowing I hadn’t regret anything yet and now 33 years old I regret a lot and how I have character
I was in my early 20s when I saw this movie when it came out. Re-watching it in my 40s; it hits me differently. Back then, I appreciated the pathos...Now, I simply get it.
I'm not familiar with this movie and I can't stand Kevin Spacey (arrogant and self righteous), but this is a great speech and DeVito is really a great actor.
One of the greatest scenes of all time! An eye opener for all of those Jesus freaks out there who just can’t help bringing Jesus into every fuckin conversation 👍
I believe you missed the point. It wasn't about "Jesus freaks", it just so happens the character was a holy roller. It's about many people out there that see other people as possible converts to their personal crusade, whether its Jesus, Buddha, lubricants or how to make money on real estate with no money down. I work with people that help but try to insert their political agenda into everything they do and say, sometimes in subtle ways sometimes in not so subtle ways. The whole of society has stopped seeing its parts as human beings, human beings that have dreams, families, troubles, battles, hopes etc. Hell, nowadays the term influencer is not an insult, instead its a career, think about that for a second. Again, I believe you sadly missed the point.
This movie is very well written and inisightful. Danny DeVito and Kevin Spacy were Brilliant; too bad only me and 100 other people saw it.
Ikr? Talk about a sleeper. It was like when I stumbled upon Mary and Max.
Ikr
I did. One of my favorite movies though.. I watched it multiple times and I still enjoy it so much
Agreed. Great movie
one more here
So many years passed away, and I remember this speech. Nothing else from this film. GREAT De Vito!!!!
I believe it's his finest performance by a mile. It's also an incredibly well-written monologue.

Profound meanings in this film with extremely talented actors, one of my best, glad I'm not the only one who enjoyed this master piece :)
As a young person, this speech didn't make sense. The older I get, the words become clearer and clearer and the truth is revealed.
Great movie with great messages in many dialogues. Very underestimated..
I tear up every time I watch this scene.
I cannot believe that this man can pull off big kahuna, the Penguin, and Iasip and not let you feel the difference
Thanks for this. One of my favorite scenes.
Whoa! I mean whoa! I've got to watch that movie from the beginning to the end. That's some masterful acting by Danny!
The Big kahona had only 3 actor, but is a very good and a criminal underrated film. A must watch.
Questions that define a fair (hu)man. Plus the final monologue. Thats something you have to listen every month...
Nobody discovers anything until it's to late. It's a sneak attack but, that attack is real.
Great speech! Trust.
I have nothing but good feelings to say about this.
..and honesty
Thank you for posting this one!
Beautiful marvellous and refreshing
Anybody else here after Trevor Poelman's "Evangelism is Sales" video?
*sigh* Brilliant.

It's a great movie, you ought t watch it. For some the ending is very ambiguous.

I haven't seen this movie but I want to know why he's giving this gigalo such a hard time.
Perfect🎯 I suggest to listen to it at least once a month...to be an honest human being🙏☀️🤍😇
