You can't handle the truth!

Son, we live in a world that has walls,

and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns.

Who's gonna do it?

You?

You, Lieutenant Weinberg?

I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom.

You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines.

You have that luxury.

You have the luxury of not knowing what I know,

that Santiago's death, while tragic,

probably saved lives, and my existence,

while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.

You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties.

You want me on that wall.

You need me on that wall.

We use words like honor, code, loyalty.

We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something.

You use them as a punchline.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises

and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide

And then questions the manner in

which I provide it I would rather you just said thank you and went on your way

Otherwise I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post Either way,

I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to

I thought about what you said to me the other day About my painting

No. I stood up half the night thinking about it.

Something occurred to me.

I fell into a deep,

peaceful sleep, and I haven't thought about you since.

You know what occurred to me?

No. You're just a kid.

You don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about.

Why, thank you.

It's all right.

You've never been out of Boston.

Nope.

If I asked you about art,

you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written.

Michelangelo.

I know a lot about him.

Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope,

sexual orientation, the whole works, right?

I bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel.

You never actually stood there and looked up with that beautiful ceiling.

Seemed that.

If I ask you about women,

you'd probably give me a syllabus of your personal favorites.

You may have even been laid a few times.

But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy.

You're a tough kid.

When I ask you about war,

you'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right?

Once more into the breach, dear friends.

But you've never been near one.

You've never held your best friend's head in your lap.

You've watched him gasp his last breath,

looking to you for help.

When I ask you about love,

you'd probably quote me a sonnet.

But you've never looked at a woman who'd been totally vulnerable.

Known someone that could level you with her eyes.

Feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you.

Who could rescue you from the depths of hell.

And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel.

To have that love for her be there forever.

Through anything.

Through cancer.

And you wouldn't know about sleeping sitting up in a hospital room for two months holding her hand

because the doctors could see in your eyes that the terms visiting hours don't apply to you.

You don't know about real loss because that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself.

I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much.

When I look at you,

I don't see an intelligent, confident man.

I see a cocky, scared, shitless kid.

But you're a genius, Will.

No one denies that.

No one could possibly understand the depths of you.

But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine,

you ripped my fucking life apart.

You're an orphan, right?

Do you think I'd know the first thing about how hard your life has been?

How you feel, who you are,

because I read all of the twist. Does that encapsulate you?

Personally, I don't give a shit about all that, because you know what?

I can't learn anything from you.

I can't read in some fucking book.

Unless you want to talk about you, who you are. And I'm fascinated.

I'm in.

But you don't want to do that to your sport.

You're terrified of what you might say.

Your move, chief.

You ain't gonna believe this.

What you used to fit right here,

I'd hold you up and say to your mother,

this kid's gonna be the best kid in the world.

This kid's gonna be somebody better than anybody ever knew.

And you grew up good and wonderful.

100

It was great just watching.

101

Every day was like a privilege.

102

Then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world,

103

and you did.

104

But somewhere along the line, you changed.

105

You stopped being you.

106

You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good.

107

And when things got hard,

108

you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow.

109

Let me tell you something you already know.

110

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.

111

It's a very mean and nasty place,

112

and I don't care how tough you are,

113

it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

114

You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

115

But it ain't about how hard you hit.

116

It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

117

How much you can take and keep moving forward.

118

That's how winning is done.

119

Now, if you know what you're worth,

120

now go out and get what you're worth.

121

But you gotta be willing to take the hits

122

and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you want to be because of him or her or anybody.

123

Cowards do that and that ain't you.

124

You're better than that.

125

I'm always gonna love you no matter what.

126

No matter what happens.

127

You're my son, you're my blood.

128

You're the best thing in my life.

129

But until you start believing in yourself,

130

You gotta have a life.

131

Don't forget to visit your mother. Were you meditating?

132

Well, now, let me see.

133

You know, I don't have any idea what that means.

134

Well, it means you're ready to rejoin society.

135

I know what you think it means, honey.

136

To me, it's just a made-up word.

137

A politician's word, so that young fellas like yourself can wear a suit and a tie and have a job.

138

What do you really want to know?

139

Am I sorry for what I did?

140

Well, I am.

141

There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret.

142

Not because I'm in here,

143

because you think I should.

144

I look back on the way I was then.

145

A young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime.

146

I want to talk to him.

147

I want to try to talk some sense to him.

148

Tell him the way things are. But I can't.

149

That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left.

150

I gotta live with that.

151

Rehabilitate it.

152

It's just a bullshit word.

153

So you go on and stamp your form,

154

Sonny, and stop wasting my time.

155

Because to tell you the truth,

156

I don't give a shit.

157

Why is America...

158

Not the greatest country in the world, Professor.

159

That's my answer.

160

You're saying...

161

Yes.

162

Let's talk about...

163

Fine.

164

Sharon, the NEA is a loser.

165

Yeah, it accounts for a penny out of our paycheck,

166

but he gets to hit you with it any time he wants.

167

It doesn't cost money, it costs votes.

168

It costs air time and column inches.

169

You know why people don't like liberals?

170

Because they lose.

171

If liberals are so fucking smart,

172

how can they lose so goddamn always?

173

Hey!

174

And with a straight face,

175

you're gonna tell students that America is so star-spangled awesome that we're the only ones in the world who have freedom?

176

Canada has freedom.

177

Japan has freedom.

178

The UK, France, Italy, Germany,

179

Spain, Australia, Belgium has freedom.

180

207 sovereign states in the world,

181

like 180 of them have freedom.

182

All right.

183

And yet you, sorority girl,

184

just in case you accidentally wander into a voting booth one day,

185

there's some things you should know.

186

And one of them is,

187

there is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we're the greatest country in the world.

188

We're seventh in literacy, 27th in math,

189

22nd in science, 49th in life expectancy,

190

178th in infant mortality, third in median household income,

191

number four in labor force,

192

and number four in exports.

193

We lead the world in only three categories.

194

of incarcerated citizens per capita,

195

number of adults who believe angels are real,

196

and defense spending, where we spend more than the next 26 countries combined,

197

25 of whom are allies.

198

Now, none of this is the fault of a 20-year-old college student,

199

but you, nonetheless, are, without a doubt,

200

a member of the worst period generation period ever period.

201

So when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world,

202

I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

203

Yosemite?

204

Sure used to be.

205

We stood up for what was right.

206

We fought for moral reasons.

207

We passed laws, struck down laws for moral reasons.

208

We waged wars on poverty, not poor people.

209

We sacrificed.

210

We cared about our neighbors.

211

We put our money where our mouths were,

212

and we never beat our chest.

213

We built great big things,

214

made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe,

215

cured diseases, and we cultivated the world's greatest artists and the world's greatest economy.

216

We reached for the stars, acted like men.

217

We aspired to intelligence.

218

We didn't belittle it.

219

It didn't make us feel inferior.

220

We didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election,

221

and we didn't scare so easy.

222

We were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed by great men,

223

men who were revered.

224

First step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one.

225

What's been wrong with me for 19 years?

226

I've been a witness and I tell you I've been complicit.

227

I love you, Steve.

228

You know how much.

229

I love that you don't care how much money a person makes,

230

you care what they make.

231

But what you make isn't supposed to be the best part of you.

232

When you're a father That's what's supposed to be the best part of you and it's caused me two decades of agony,

233

Steve, that it is for you.

234

the worst.

235

It's a little thing.

236

It's a very small thing.

237

Fix it.

238

Fix it now.

239

Or you can contact me at my new job.

240

Working anywhere I want.

241

I'm sorry, Will.

242

You know what?

243

Actually, this works out better for me.

244

You know, it is slim as a summer coming to class wearing next to nothing.

245

You know what I'm saying?

246

Well, it's all right to be angry.

247

Hey, why should I be mad?

248

I'm saying, at least he said goodbye this time.

249

I just wish I hadn't wasted my money buying this stupid present.

250

I'm sorry.

251

If there was something that I could do.

252

Hey, you know what?

253

You ain't got to do nothing, Uncle Phil.

254

Ain't like I'm still five years old, you know?

255

Ain't like I'm going to be sitting up every night asking my mom,

256

when's daddy coming home, you know?

257

Who needs him?

258

Hey, he wasn't there to teach me how to shoot my first basket,

259

but I learned, didn't I?

260

Hey, I got pretty damn good attitude, didn't I, Uncle Phil?

261

Got through my first date without him, right?

262

I learned how to drive.

263

I learned how to shave.

264

I learned how to fight without him.

265

I had 14 great birthdays without him.

266

He never even sent me a damn card.

267

Down with him!

268

I need him then, and I don't need him now.

269

Well, well.

270

You know what, Uncle Phil?

271

I'm going to get through college without him.

272

I'm going to get a great job without him.

273

I'm going to marry me a beautiful honey.

274

And I'm having me a whole bunch of kids.

275

I'm going to be a better father than he ever was.

276

And I sure as hell don't need him for that,

277

because ain't a damn thing he could ever teach me about how to love my kids.

278

How come he don't want me, man?

279

You know, we're sitting here.

280

You and I, like a couple of regular fellas,

281

you do what you do,

282

I do what I gotta do.

283

And now that we've been face to face,

284

if I'm there and I gotta put you away, I won't like it.

285

But I'll tell you, if it's between you and some poor bastard whose wife you're gonna turn into a widow,

286

Brother, you are going down.

287

I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor.

288

That's not my business.

289

I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.

290

I should like to help everyone if possible.

291

Jew, Gentile, black man, white.

292

We all want to help one another.

293

Human beings are like that.

294

We want to live by each other's happiness,

295

not by each other's misery.

296

We don't want to hate and despise one another.

297

In this world, there's room for everyone,

298

and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.

299

The way of life can be free and beautiful,

300

but we have lost the way.

301

Greed has poisoned men's souls,

302

has barricaded the world with hate,

303

has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.

304

We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.

305

Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want left us in want.

306

Our knowledge has made us cynical,

307

our cleverness hard and unkind.

308

We think too much and feel too little.

309

More than machinery, we need humanity.

310

More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.

311

Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

312

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together.

313

The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men,

314

cries out for universal brotherhood,

315

for the unity of us all.

316

Even now, my voice is reaching millions throughout the world,

317

millions of despairing men, women and children,

318

victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.

319

To those who can hear me,

320

I say, do not despair.

321

The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed,

322

the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.

323

The hate of men will pass and dictators die,

324

and the power they took from the people will return to the people.

325

And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

326

Soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes,

327

men who despise you, enslave you,

328

who regiment your lives, tell you what to do,

329

what to think, and what to feel,

330

who drill you, diet you,

331

treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder.

332

Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men,

333

machine men with machine minds and machine hearts.

334

You are not machines.

335

You are not cattle.

336

You are men.

337

You have the love of humanity in your hearts.

338

You don't hate, only the unloved hate,

339

the unloved and the unnatural.

340

Soldiers, don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty.

341

In the 17th chapter of St. Luke,

342

it is written, the kingdom of God is within man,

343

not one man nor a group of men,

344

but in all men, in you,

345

you the people have the power,

346

the power to create machines,

347

the power to create happiness.

348

You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful,

349

to make this life a wonderful adventure.

350

Then in the name of democracy,

351

let us use that power.

352

Let us all unite.

353

Let us fight for a new world,

354

a decent world, that will give men a chance to work,

355

that will give youth a future and old age a security.

356

By the promise of these things,

357

brutes have risen to power, but they lie.

358

They do not fulfill that promise.

359

They never will.

360

Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people.

361

Now let us fight to fulfill that promise.

362

Let us fight to free the world,

363

to do away with national barriers,

364

to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance.

365

Let us fight for a world of reason,

366

a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.

367

Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

368

Thank you.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
