I think I've listened to all of them now. Extremely motivating.

His words elevate the spirit, in the same way Kennedy's key speeches did.

Wow, what a talk! I've heard some of his other university speeches but not as punchy as this one. On fire!

He's so lucky to be only 51.

Bradbury really disses Philip Yordan here and rightly so. Yordan was a hack writer who couldn't string two words together without paying someone to write them for him. It's actually doubtful he even wrote the script to King of Kings as referenced here by Ray. Either way, Ray's narrative portions are fantastic and moving. The movie is boring and not really so epic at all, but worth watching for the narration and Miklos Rozsa's divine score.
