My favorite movie, poem, speech and sermon

It has been 23 years and this still may be the bravest, coolest, most beautiful, crowningest crowning moment of awesome ever captured on film.

This is probably the greatest movie of the 20th century. It might even be the greatest poem, the greatest speech and sermon.

After 23 years, this is still astonishing:

We humans are really something. We invent things like tanks and we create systems to ensure we’ll pay to build them by the thousands and tens of thousands. And then some of us give the orders and some of us follow them, and we turn those tanks on each other, killing one another on a massive scale.

But we can also do things like this. We can also be things like this.

Born to sorrow, but the sparks fly upward.
