Gives me Goosebumps Every Time

During my hiatus from employment today I decided to take advantage of some me time and watch a movie.

Independence Day

I have seen this movie hundreds of times, I mean that in the most literal sense. 

Since it's debut in 1996, I have managed to wear out two VHS tapes and and have a DVD that has certainly paid it's dues but still works. Thankfully.

Due to the movie's mixed reviews from the critics you are probably wondering why I fell so deeply.

Well, honestly, its a number of things but one of those things sticks out more than all others.

It is the speech that is made by the President ( Bill Pullman) right before the guys take flight to nuke the aliens.

It gives me the goosebumps every time I see it and I even cried the first time.

It's like having a lover whose touch just makes your flesh tingle and you get that unexplainable sensation often attributed to being cold, but it's not that.  It's a heat so hot that your body tries to fool your brain so that you don't get burned.  Ok, well maybe not that good but pretty damn close!

Enjoy.
