Gene Hackman: "Crimson Tide"

I have insomnia again. I guess it is getting over the flu and my sleep habits.

Anyway, I am up watching television. On TBS, the movie "Crimson Tide" is on. One of the best speeches in a movie in shown below. It is known as the "Crimson Tide Speech." I realize that this is only a movie and Gene Hackman is only an acotr, but everytime I see and hear it, chills go down my spine and I feel proud. It is a shame we don't have more speeches in real life like this.

I have posted it below. Watch and listen. I think it is amazing. When the yell "Go Bama..Roll Tide'" one just feels inspired.
