Speech of the Week #39

Welcome everyone to a weekly column here on YDKS Movies entitled Speech of the Week! Every week, I will post a new scene from a movie that features a speech of some sort being given. After all, there are a lot of famous scenes in film where characters give an influential speech of some sort. Then again, there are also a lot of scenes where characters give a speech and it just comes off cheesy and lame. In this section, you will see both kinds. That's right, people, I'm giving you the good and bad of film speeches all wrapped up in one great big package. I hope you all enjoy.


This week's speech is from one of my favorite movies, Fargo. This speech comes from the end of the movie when Marge (Frances McDormand) captures Gaear (Peter Stormare) after he has shoved his partner into a wood chipper. This scene really captures the moral of the movie. Marge's character is so naive when it comes to the evil nature of the people in the world. She just tries to get by day by day, do the right thing and enjoy life. She can't understand why anyone would want to kill someone or steal for that matter.

The speech she delivers to Gaear is heart-felt and really hits home due to her honest revelation that she truly does not understand Gaear's nature. It's a great speech from a truly great movie.

Watch it below.
