Jean-Claude's soliloquy in JCVD is one of my favorite movie monologues of all time. The break in the movie, him just taking a minute out was totally unexpected, hell the film was totally unexpected. I've seen people who never watched a Jean-Claude movie in their life have a little cry at this scene.

Give this movie a chance. It's unlike anything he has done before or after and isn't a dumb action movie. Had a rating of 83% on rotten tomatoes last time I checked, probably twice as a high a rating as anything else he ever did. It's masquerades as an autobiographical work with Jean playing Jean and goes somewhere strange.

Sorry this was the only clip I could find with an English translation, whoever posted it decided to interject a bunch of semi-inspirational quotes.
