Zapata's speech (spoiler)

I was disappointed that Zapata's speech to the peasants just before his brother is killed was not included in the "Quotes" section. I first saw this movie when I was 12 and I was really taken by it. The content was inspiring and Brando's delivery was chilling. I would watch the whole movie just to see that scene. Just another example of Brando's ability to capture the soul of any character he portrayed.

Thanks for going thru the trouble of transcribing it. It is beautiful. Writers don't often get the credit they deserve and you are 100% right: EVERYONE got it right. After years of searching, I finally found the DVD on Classicmovies.com

This film had a number of great speeches from Zapata and others.

Fatima had a fetish for a wiggle in her scoot
