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.
