Ever notice how, in lists of great movie speeches, most of those featured are the ones performed by white men? The greatest movie speeches are works of art in their own right – the product of many filmmaking elements coming together to create a unique and powerful moment. But, there are so many more to appreciate than the standard ‘white dude monologues’ that are most often cited as examples.
This was a team feature at We Got This Covered, but I wrote the introduction, all the female entries, plus the entry about Samuel L Jackson’s bit at the end of Pulp Fiction (that’s the intro + 11 of the 20 entries).
