Very patriotic fridge logic
The big speech in the last act of Independence Day.
President’s inspiring the fighter pilots that are going to be flying the climactic mission.
But at the very end, he fumbles it.
Not on delivery, but in the writing. ‘We’re going to live on. We’re going to survive. Today, we celebrate our independence day!’
The last sentence is bad! You should have used a different temporal transition word. Its the equivalent of failing to find a rhyme in composing a song’s lyrics, so you just use it again, but not as part of an obsessive point. Say what you will about Metallica’s Frantic, but at least you know where their emphasis is!
I’ve not made a point about complaining over this line historically, but the speech’s place in popular culture has always felt a little undeserved. Like everyone else was overlooking that the instruments and vocal parts on a major studio release just fell apart for no good reason in the last 30 seconds.
@kontextmaschine is this crazy to you?
