The cinema I had worked at for about a decade was recently purchased. When the new owners sent in the reorganizational transition guy with his PowerPoint presentation, played this to us.
Less than eighteen days later, they laid off over 100 of us in several districts and cut the pay of those remaining --- Managers and standard staff --- by 25%-70% and took away the health benefits.
It's quite awesome (particularly the cut from Morgan Freeman to Charlie Chaplin). Yet every time I watch it, a part of my brain screams, "WAIT! Go back to Henry V so he can finish!"
Anyone who can find some inspiration in any Jean Claude Van Damme movie is good in my books. Excellent video.
