Thoughts on The Man in the Iron Mask

 

via Tumblr

*Louis (Leonardo DiCaprio) is called out by Christine (Judith Godrèche), who was coerced into his bed* 
"I have sinned against love and God for the sake of your mercy, which you would not have given without my sin. I will burn in hell. So will you."
"No, no, no. No, my love. You will burn in hell. I will not, for I am king, ordained by God!"

via Giphy/Courtesy Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures

"They were murdered by poachers. The gorilla population now is half what it was 10 years ago."
"Your problem is decreasing gorillas. Mine is increasing people. We're on opposite sides of the same problem."
"Can I have this water?"
"Sure. (as Dian feeds the baby gorilla) That kind of money provides people with food, clothing, shoes, medicine, necessities. Do you want to compare priorities, Miss Fossey?"

Thoughts on Henry V

via IMDB

"Herald, are the dead numbered?"
"Here is the number of the slaughtered French."
*a weary Henry views the information as his soldiers listen*
"This note doth tell me of ... 10,000 French that in the field lie slain. Of princes in this number, 126. Added to these, of knights, esquires and gallant gentlemen, 8,400, of the which 500 were but yesterday dubbed knights. Here was a royal fellowship of death."
