Great Movie Quotes: Lord of War
May 8, 2007
Yuri Orlov: “The reason I’ll be released is the same reason you think I’ll be convicted. I *do* rub shoulders with some of the most vile, sadistic men calling themselves leaders today. But some of these men are the enemies of *your* enemies. And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss – the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year – sometimes it’s embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can’t be seen supplying. So. You call me evil, but unfortunately for you, I’m a necessary evil.”
Excellent quote, excellent movie. You truly are a man of good taste, Matt.
The opening sequence of that movie that follows the bullet from manufacture to execution is absolutely amazing.
What an incredible scene isn’t it? Possibly the best opening sequence I’ve ever seen.
