Been piling through Hollywood battle speeches for reference for the next blog and it is striking to me just how poor most of them are. Nearly all of the work is done by the soundtrack. Howard Shore or John Williams can make anything sound inspiring. But as speeches...eh?

I don't recall that ever making me feel better. And Gladiator (2000) "Think where you'll be in a week, unless you're dead, if then just lulz" - hardly encouraging?

And those are some of the better ones. So many of these damn movie battle speeches are basically football pep talks, "I'm with you, you got this, winning is fun, go get 'em!"

“Do you know what’s waiting behind that beach! Immortality! Take it! It’s yours.” You don’t find that motivational for jumping off your ship into a rain of pointy Trojan arrows?

Given that speechwriting, as a genre, has sunk so low that even politicians rarely give good ones, I'm not surprised that screenwriters don't write good ones.

Also my favorite is Groucho Marx as Rufus T Firefly in Duck Soup: "And remember, while you're out there being stormed at with shot and shell, we'll be in here thinking what a sucker you are."

Ah, but "You know what's waiting for you beyond that beach? IMMORTALITY! TAKE IT! IT'S YOURS!" was pretty good.
