Speech by the President of the United States in the film

Good morning. In less than one hour planes from here and all around the world will launch the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind… Mankind. The word has new meaning for all of us now. We are reminded not of our petty differences but of our common interests.
Perhaps it's fate that today, July the Fourth, we will once again fight for our freedom. Not from tyranny, persecution or oppression. But from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exit. From this day on, the fourth day of July will no longer be remembered as an American holiday but as the day that all of mankind declared we will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We will live on. We will survive. Today we celebrate our independence day.

    The main theme movie of the United States that was burned with money now seems to be long and quite illogical; but the position of this movie in 1996 is immeasurable in film history. How exciting it was when I watched it back then! I hope that China’s future main theme movies can also learn from the US model to burn more money. It is useless to call out stars to cheat money...

    It is undeniable that there are indeed a lot of main theme plots and wonderful pictures with high entertainment, but the filming is too stupid and not exciting at all, and it is difficult to give the audience a desire to watch the movie completely.

Independence Day quotes

  • Gen. Gray: Mr. President, I'd sure like to know what you're doing.

    President Thomas Whitmore: I'm a combat pilot, Will. I belong in the air.

  • [the President briefs the pilots before the final attack]

    President Thomas Whitmore: Good morning.

    [PA doesn't work. Turns it on]

    President Thomas Whitmore: Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
