This kinda happened to me …. Still alive. But never deserved. Justice has a skewed balance When it’s balanced even justice of freedom is on the scale of its own action to be .
70’s 80’s and 90’s! Pacino was the master at his craft. Post 90’s he declined and very much and while he still has some cache/charisma it’s not the same
70s, 80s, 90s were Pacino's greatest eras. I personally love 90s Pacino the most because he made more movies in that decade, but I love Pacino is EVERY ERA.
You Idiot(s) Pacinos career was Dead in the 80's.....Scarface Doesn't count as it was badly recieved and after the Embarrassing "Revolution" in 85', He disappeared for 5yrs. Where do Degenerates and Morons like You come from??
One of Al Pacino’s very best performances, and that’s saying something as he is just the most incredible actor around. He should’ve won at the very least three or four Oscars for best actor.
4:49 The way he says "People....They're just people..." on the verge of tears is just incredible. For me "...And Justice for all" is the best movie of 1979, along with "Kramer vs Kramer" with Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep.
@@vinzelrato Pacino was the better of the two performances, that year. Imho. Hoffman was better in films like Lenny, Straight Time and Straw Dogs, than Kramer. He was good, but Streep and the kid stole that one. Pacino was amazing in the lead in And Justice... As he was in Serpico, Dog Day, Godfather trilogy, etc. Two great actors, not always best represented by 'awards'.
My god, this scene is so unbelievably intense, Pacino's genuine grief is heartbreaking and reduced me to tears. No matter how many times I see it, it has the same profound effect on me. Without a doubt, Mr Pacino is one of the finest actors ever to come out of Hollywood and why he didn't get an Oscar for this scene alone beats me.
I do that with GLADIATOR and Russell Crowe in the Final Scene and the MUSIC rolling I start tearing up. Then I think to myself, "Jim, you are a former US Army Sergeant, 9th Infantry, Ranger, bad ass. Stop crying dude". lol I can't. Every single time. TEARS
Agreed.. This still hits me 45 years later.. Poor Ralph.. Lookin at warren begging him that Mr Kirkland said he'd be OK.. Knowing he committed suicide thing Kirkland let him down
If you've ever experienced those feelings, you know how accurately they were portrayed by Pacino. You begin with uncontrolled rage, you move on to fueled resentment, and then finally your every emotion is spent and you're drained of everything inside you and the only thing left is to surrender to utter despair. That, my friends, is acting.
3:20 when I first watched this, I sort of understood why he was angry because he wanted justice and it's frustrating when people screw up things you're passionate about. After, he said 'I can't appeal it, he's dead' my heart dropped and I had to rewind the entire scene. No wonder he was THIS angry, he was grieving and he was angry at himself. God bless Al Pacino, just bless him he is an amazing actor.
Unfortunately, this is happening in real life. So many black people lose their lives because the system is so unjust and many who are a part of it, don't care. This is a powerful scene. Al Pacino is one of the greatest actors of our time.
@@TheIkaika777 yeah but its never talked about nowadays. I mean holy shit Godfather ppl go on and on about. But any lists with Al Pacino or discussion of his careers, this film is rarely ever mentioned and even if not as much as it should. Compared to his other movies its absolutely underrated cuz after the time of release it wasn’t remembered as much
He actually broke my heart I felt like jumping in the movie and hug him😭 And thats why I love his acting, he makes me feel the way like no other actor🤩
Pacinos greatness always came in the weakness he gave his characters, it really made it more relatable The way his voice takes on a completely helpless tone really hits you in the chest
We watched this as it was being filmed in the “ Rivoli “ garage on Fayette and Gay Streets in Baltimore.....our bar was next door .....Pacino was magnificent.....
Funny how YOU Chris are the only person to mention, 'LEGEND'. I had a talk with Al while filming Danny Collins at The Greek Theatre in Hollywood. My wife is Italian and works for a Major Studio (I'll stop dropping names) as VP so she got me in the TRAILER to see if I enjoyed the business, and I didn't but, I really ENJOYED working with Mr. Al Pacino. Total respect! He was wonderful. Kind to me knowing I was not an actor. 200 Extras hated me for 'taking their spot?' So they said. lol It wasn't their spot. Anyway, he asked me, 'What is it with the LEGEND TITLE?' 'I just wish to go get a cup of coffee and NOT be interrupted just once'. Sad. All I could say was, 'it comes with the territory and the GENIUS OF YOUR WORK AL'. That is all I could say! Some would say, 'this is why you are paid the big bucks'. Security. Big homes New York, California, Europe. Al hates money, He never carries any. He has no idea what things cost. His #1 passion in life, STAGE. Acting live ON STAGE. Films are for the money. Pays more. HEAT was one of my favorites! I love Robert De Niro too. Liam Neeson. Russell Crowe in GLADIATOR. Our last gig: The Ice Road, 2021, Liam Neeson. The Protege, 2021, Samuel L Jackson. Another actor with tremendous passion for his work). Merry Christmas Chris
@@jameshall8455 thnxx not sure if i replied to this but AL is and has always been extremely down to earth despite being , possibly the greatest actor who ever lived. This is my favorite movie with AL along side the God father and Scarface. He may not like it but he is indeed a legend and the greatest actor of my lifetime...but with due respect to Al ..we will replace legend with "THE GOAT" !
@@richspinaci8293 yeah so it's all their fault you're a no good drug addict who tried to rob a 7-11 Like most anyone else, lawyers with a higher "win" ratio tend to be more in demand
@@richspinaci8293 YOU understand! Defense lawyers, judges, and prosecutors generally don't care about individual cases. Sentences vary depending on their mood. You better hope the defense attorney isn't distracted or unprepared or LATE and pisses the judge off (or even that they pissed the judge off previously), you better hope that the prosecutor and judge had a good morning and they didn't catch their wife cheating last night, because you will get screwed HARD. It's completely up to the prosecutor and judges' discretition as to what sentence you get, not really "fair" imo. Why should their personal opinion have any bearing on it? But you damn well better believe that it DOES! No such thing as "fair" in a courtroom. I know firsthand.
Why isn't this movie not on a continuous loop on cable? The ratings would be through the roof. Everyone in this country needs to see this, absorb it, live it! Especially with our two standard justice system, this is imperative...
I hated this guy for messing up Aggie like that and then later justifying it with "its all nickel and dime." Forget about hitting his car, he should have been slapped.
This movie made an impression on me....was 18 and saw it on the big screen. These scenes had real impact on the audience.....this man is a master at his art. Never ever forgot it.
The 70’s where Al’s best performance’s in my opinion from the godfather 1&2, Serpico, dog day afternoon and justice for all, he really should have more than one Oscar nod
You can find MASTERCLASS scenes like this one in almost every Pacino film made (Dog Day afternoon has SEVERAL). The dude just STRAIGHT UP brings it every time. I'd probably pay $10 just to watch him sit on the toilet for 2 hours.. THATS how entertaining Pacino is onscreen.....
Of course, Al is sensational in this role. But every cast member's acting in this picture is superb; even the actors playing relatively minor roles in this sequence, such as the judge and bailiff. It's as though cast members, working together, each hit all cylinders, pushing one another ever higher to create a dramatic masterpiece.
This is the first Al Pacino movie I watched, I was 12 years old when my old man made me discover this masterpiece. In fact, to this very day, I consider this to be one of his best acting performance, along with Sidney Lumet's "Dog Day afternoon" (1975) and "Serpico" (1973) and William Friedkin's "Cruising" (1980).
I never saw Cruising, but I think Sea of Love is the Heteroxsexual Version of the MOvie. YOu dodn't think A.P. gave great performances in The GodFather Movies? I also did like his performance in Serpico as well. A.P. was also great in Scarface, but it was not a Heroic role like Serpico or And Justice for All.
@@HoldenNY22 well, I do consider the 2 godfather movies as cult classic (the 3rd opus is just horseshit) but for me the lead roles are Marlon Brando (for the 1st) and Robert De Niro (for the 2nd one). Scarface is not too bad - for a remake, that is - but far far from being my favourite Pacino movie. The 'sequel' "Carlito's way" is much better as a De Palma movie (the best De Palma being of course "Carrie" and "Phantom of the Paradise")
His peeformnce in this movie is so underrated. If he didnt win oscar for this part, nobody else deservered an oscar. I have watched this scene like a thousand time and Im planning to watch it once in while for the rest of my life. He is unbelievably good. For me his performance in this movie is the best performance in the hiatory of the cinema. Love you Al Pacino❤ you are the greatest.
This was a fantastic movie. I was 10 years old when I first saw it, and it moved me. Al Pacino is a great actor. After this I wanted to see every movie he played in.
Guys, Pacinos performance is truly amazing, just lets not praise the finger more than the moon that it is pointing to. Go, rewatch the movie, and let it sink in, cos it hits hard, as it should. The tear under your eye means you needed it. And then live your life better. I wish you all love and all the other whistles.
When this movie first came out the local theater owner had a special free showing for local lawyers only. I’m retired now from criminal law but so glad I went. This powerful and passionate movie always stayed with me. Pacino’s performance was electric and the message was powerful.
Al Pacino is in my opinion the best film actor ever. The monologue he does later in the film his extraordinary, and this scene too. His acting is so real and powerful. Watching him perform is amazing.
Powerful performance in a terrific film. Always been a favourite...Savage cutting scenes like this and the hilarious scenes with Jack Warden. A definite roller coaster ride.
Let's show Larry Bryggman some love too, y'all. The rhythm of the exchange, the ratcheting of the intensity up to the revelation of Agee's death, depends on the interplay between the two characters. Great scene!
God, look at him! This is not acting, this cannot be acting! Al is not actor, Al plays every character like its him, that versatility, that conviction! my goodness! Being all these, he is so humble and kind. I love Al sm.
Wow a scene and am all emotional. That’s incredible. But its not just the scene these things actually happen to people. That judge couldnt care less. Very sad.
I always wanted to be a lawyer and was watching this while i was preparing for my law entrance test. I had to pause the movie and sit back after watching this scene, and i kept repeating to myself that i can't be a lawyer. I'm not strong enough for this.
Powerful, well-made and well-acted film. The story of Ralph Agee was such a key point in this movie, one of those souls forgotten and lost in our over-booked justice system, without Kirkland there he never stood a chance. Still holds true today.
And Justice for All is one of the greatest movies ever made. It's certainly one of the most underrated. When you feel empathy for the character even though you know it's not really happening, that's brilliant acting
I saw this film back in the day when I was about 12, I'm now 52. I'm not exaggerating when I say it has lived with me my whole life. Especially this scene. Just a desperate, loveless level of society & people who you hope care, just don't give a s**t. I think the only thing that changed, is that it's gotten worse
@@crypastesomemore8348 Which makes you wonder just how much worse it was before the industrial age? Here the accused went to jail due to lack of attention and care from his substitute lawyer. In the 19th century, he wouldn't even have a trial. Heck, he wouldn't even be a free citizen to begin with in this country. Sure, we're better than before. But we still have a long, long way to go before there's justice for all.
@@crypastesomemore8348 That's debatable, considering how mass destruction is far more widely available now. Go to somewhere outside of the West and tell them all how peaceful things are.
I actually find the transitioning scene from his sentencing where he expected to get off on probation, to this, to be incredibly upsetting and disturbing, as we never actually see it happen when he gets locked up. Like literally as soon as he got locked up, he most likely would've hung himself almost straight away, due to negligence on the lawyer's behalf who was filling in. That's just horrible.
I was the "One" who gave you a thumbs down. Not because of your empathy for Agi. We all know an Agi who in one way or another we try to protect them from "That of which they do not know". That thumbs down came from the last few words you wrote. ..."the system years ago" has not changed one iota from then, from the Roman times, back before Babalonia and those very slick Sumarians. Do you really think ANY of that "ILK died off? All that happened was the veneer that coats this form of Domination gets another coat of human Injustice for All.
@@singmenow4u I was gonna say the same my man. Back then? No, back then, currently, and as far into the future as I can safely predict. It's a completely broken system and all who get involved, even with good intentions, eventually fall in line.👍
All he had to do was 'Open the Envelope'. His philosophy, 'They are a dime a dozen'. Pacino does have TREMENDOUS passion. In his work and in real life. "Al lives life with passion"....I was Featured in TRAILER for DANNY COLLINS, film with Al (Mr. Pacino to be respectful) and he threw me his Handkerchief while singing. I handed it to the actress beside me as instructed by Dan Fogelman;, director, her cousin. She was great! I had no idea who she was for 3 days until Dan started measuring the area where 'we were standing at The Greek Theatre, Hollywood, CA and he hugged her. Rarely done these days with the "The Me too Movement". No one DARES hug another person. I use to be a Hugger. I hugged EVERYONE out of love and respect which I started doing in ITALY 1973 US Army. Italians do that ALWAYS. These days it is called 'sexual harassment' in USA, sadly. Jesus Christ people we are destroying each other. Isn't the Pandemic enough? It is wonderful when we can work with actors like AL PACINO. On and Off stage he is a master at life and just BE REAL with one another! Bless you, Merry Christmas 2021
omg. This one scene is the only thing I know about this film but I have absolutely got to watch this now. One of the few Pacino films I haven't watched. That's it! No more spoilers! T.Y. Mr. Gorbey! Cheers!
They made better films back then. Authentic stories about real people's lives and their real emotions. They still make some great films but good luck finding them.
I remember that when it came out. Just a very good movie with incredible acting, no shooting and great other violence. They do not make movies like that anymore.
You could watch Good Time, its a 2017 movie directed by Safdie brothers, it has similat themes as And justice for all. I think you'll enjoy it!! (i can't say you can compare it with And justice for all, but still)
You see the difference between the two lawyers one who actually cares and the other one who just wants big bucks and all, Friznell is just one of the many corrupt lawyers and Arthur fights for anyone and tires himself out
Pacino makes you feel the anger, frustration and helplessness in this scene. His performance is as real as it gets.
How did he not win an academy award
It's brilliant method acting. Pacino is a genius.
not really, I am more like that other lawyer who just don't care about another black criminal.
YES!! My favorite movie of all time because if the character he plays and belief he displays. He really does make us feel the angry
When Al said," I can't appeal it he's dead." , I mean just look at his eyes, made me also cry.
Not a dry eye here!
Same and I barely cry at films
This kinda happened to me ….
Still alive. But never deserved.
Justice has a skewed balance
When it’s balanced
even justice of freedom is on the scale of its own action to be .
Epic delivery epic scene
You fucking puff, grow up
Was 70s and 80s Pacino absolutely carrying movies with his acting? He's seriously crushing everything he was in.
70’s 80’s and 90’s! Pacino was the master at his craft. Post 90’s he declined and very much and while he still has some cache/charisma it’s not the same
What do you think? The man is probably the 2nd greatest actor of all time, if not possibly even tied with Brando at 1st.

He wasn't a public defender. He was a very well respected defense lawyer. That's why the judge wanted him when he was accused of rape.

Whether PLAINTIFF or DEFENDANT i think every lawyer should be as passionate and caring!!! I think they all start out that way.

Al Pacino is in my opinion the best film actor ever. The monologue he does later in the film his extraordinary, and this scene too. His acting is so real and powerful. Watching him perform is amazing.
I have gone by the garage scene location many times on Fayette St by City Hall.
Powerful performance in a terrific film. Always been a favourite...Savage cutting scenes like this and the hilarious scenes with Jack Warden. A definite roller coaster ride.
I LOVE THAT SCENE ❤️❤️❤️
I agree. Great acting by Al Pacino. Shows what a great actor he's always been.
Loved loved loved this movie!!!
Let's show Larry Bryggman some love too, y'all. The rhythm of the exchange, the ratcheting of the intensity up to the revelation of Agee's death, depends on the interplay between the two characters. Great scene!
My first thought on seeing Larry Bryggman is "Who the Hell let Dr. John out of Oakdale?!?!" Lol!!!!
God, look at him! This is not acting, this cannot be acting! Al is not actor, Al plays every character like its him, that versatility, that conviction! my goodness! Being all these, he is so humble and kind. I love Al sm.
What I noticed about Mr Pacino as a human being was his utter humility, ego-void personality, and his simplicity.
Thank you for this Al Pacino gem! Acting 101 right here...
Wow a scene and am all emotional. That’s incredible. But its not just the scene these things actually happen to people. That judge couldnt care less. Very sad.
All the actors in this movie were fantastic.
One of the best dramatic actors of the 20th century, love his work he cannot, be denied.
Saw this movie in the theatre in 1979, fabulous movie.
When people ask me what my favorite movie of all time is--I say, And Justice for All.
4:37 I felt that 😪
Al Pachino is the best actor Everrrtrrrr
We used to watch movies for the performances. What a legend Al Pacino is. What happened to us? GODDAMMIT!!!!
Great movie. Sure it's old, but it still resonates. Many reasons why Al Pacino is one of the great actors of our time.
He's always my favourite
It's sad we don't see him more
I always wanted to be a lawyer and was watching this while i was preparing for my law entrance test. I had to pause the movie and sit back after watching this scene, and i kept repeating to myself that i can't be a lawyer. I'm not strong enough for this.
From the golden age of wonderful storytelling.
Great movie. Unlike the garbage Hollywood puts out today.
One of if not the greatest actor of all time
Powerful, well-made and well-acted film. The story of Ralph Agee was such a key point in this movie, one of those souls forgotten and lost in our over-booked justice system, without Kirkland there he never stood a chance. Still holds true today.
And Justice for All is one of the greatest movies ever made. It's certainly one of the most underrated. When you feel empathy for the character even though you know it's not really happening, that's brilliant acting
This is my favorite scene of his, the rage and anguish is so real. The man is a genius method actor.
I saw this film back in the day when I was about 12, I'm now 52. I'm not exaggerating when I say it has lived with me my whole life. Especially this scene. Just a desperate, loveless level of society & people who you hope care, just don't give a s**t. I think the only thing that changed, is that it's gotten worse
You live in the most prosperous and peaceful times in human history. Never forget that.
@@crypastesomemore8348 Which makes you wonder just how much worse it was before the industrial age? Here the accused went to jail due to lack of attention and care from his substitute lawyer. In the 19th century, he wouldn't even have a trial. Heck, he wouldn't even be a free citizen to begin with in this country.
Sure, we're better than before. But we still have a long, long way to go before there's justice for all.
@@crypastesomemore8348 That's debatable, considering how mass destruction is far more widely available now. Go to somewhere outside of the West and tell them all how peaceful things are.
What a very powerful, and emotional scene. .., 😢😢
Agi was one of my favorite characters, and the fact agi didn't get justice still hurts me. Such was the system years ago...or so it seems...
I actually find the transitioning scene from his sentencing where he expected to get off on probation, to this, to be incredibly upsetting and disturbing, as we never actually see it happen when he gets locked up. Like literally as soon as he got locked up, he most likely would've hung himself almost straight away, due to negligence on the lawyer's behalf who was filling in. That's just horrible.
I was the "One" who gave you a thumbs down. Not because of your empathy for Agi. We all know an Agi who in one way or another we try to protect them from "That of which they do not know".
That thumbs down came from the last few words you wrote.
..."the system years ago" has not changed one iota from then, from the Roman times, back before Babalonia and those very slick Sumarians. Do you really think ANY of that "ILK died off?
All that happened was the veneer that coats this form of Domination gets another coat of human Injustice for All.
@@singmenow4u I was gonna say the same my man. Back then? No, back then, currently, and as far into the future as I can safely predict. It's a completely broken system and all who get involved, even with good intentions, eventually fall in line.👍
LOL they've been putting men in women's prisons for years & you're still crying about imaginary oppression invented by Hollywood
the judge was no bl sh er !!!
He should have won the Oscar for this movie.
Thanks for posting, Ed Gorbey.
All he had to do was 'Open the Envelope'. His philosophy, 'They are a dime a dozen'. Pacino does have TREMENDOUS passion. In his work and in real life. "Al lives life with passion"....I was Featured in TRAILER for DANNY COLLINS, film with Al (Mr. Pacino to be respectful) and he threw me his Handkerchief while singing. I handed it to the actress beside me as instructed by Dan Fogelman;, director, her cousin. She was great! I had no idea who she was for 3 days until Dan started measuring the area where 'we were standing at The Greek Theatre, Hollywood, CA and he hugged her. Rarely done these days with the "The Me too Movement". No one DARES hug another person. I use to be a Hugger. I hugged EVERYONE out of love and respect which I started doing in ITALY 1973 US Army. Italians do that ALWAYS. These days it is called 'sexual harassment' in USA, sadly. Jesus Christ people we are destroying each other. Isn't the Pandemic enough? It is wonderful when we can work with actors like AL PACINO. On and Off stage he is a master at life and just BE REAL with one another! Bless you, Merry Christmas 2021
omg. This one scene is the only thing I know about this film but I have absolutely got to watch this now. One of the few Pacino films I haven't watched. That's it! No more spoilers! T.Y. Mr. Gorbey! Cheers!
WHAT?
YOU ARE OUT OF ORDER
One of the best actors of all time. ALL-TIME!
An Earnest Thanks for Uploading From A Cineholic Soul & Dedicated Al Pacino Fan...
Mutual respect
anyone else notice the bass was turned down in this movie?
They made better films back then. Authentic stories about real people's lives and their real emotions. They still make some great films but good luck finding them.
Great performance that's why Al Pacino is one of my favorite actors and one of the best!
That line he is dead is so good it's breaks me every time
I remember that when it came out. Just a very good movie with incredible acting, no shooting and great other violence. They do not make movies like that anymore.
You could watch Good Time, its a 2017 movie directed by Safdie brothers, it has similat themes as And justice for all. I think you'll enjoy it!! (i can't say you can compare it with And justice for all, but still)
@@teonarusu7934 that's a great movie
@@John-sr2hr i'm glad you watched it!! :D
Best actor ever...
Intense and incredible acting. One of Pacino's best movies.
Directed by Norman Jewison, one of the greatest of all time.
that's his last name for real ?
No doubt, one of THE best...
Al Pacino as the bleeding heart liberal lawyer. Great performance!
He is so goddamn good
Brilliant, thankyou
First time seeing this I’m going to watch the whole movie, great scene
Never heard of this film. This was indeed a magnificent scene. Gonna watch it now.
You see the difference between the two lawyers one who actually cares and the other one who just wants big bucks and all, Friznell is just one of the many corrupt lawyers and Arthur fights for anyone and tires himself out
Saw this when it came out in Australia in early 1980 ... packed quite a wallop then, and still today
Al Paccino seems to be one of Johnny Depp lawyers, the other one sure to be one of Amber Turd's lawyer
"They're people, they're just people..."
Makes this grown man cry everytime
Excellent
