... you can learn from:
The Lion in Winter (1968)
John: A knife! He's got a knife!Eleanor: Of course he has a knife, he always has a knife, we all have knives! It's 1183 and we're barbarians! How clear we make it. Oh, my piglets, we are the origins of war: not history's forces, nor the times, nor justice, nor the lack of it, nor causes, nor religions, nor ideas, nor kinds of government, nor any other thing. We are the killers. We breed wars. We carry it like syphilis inside. Dead bodies rot in field and stream because the living ones are rotten. For the love of God, can't we love one another just a little - that's how peace begins. We have so much to love each other for. We have such possibilities, my children. We could change the world.

Such a magnificent movie and her performance is towering, matched every step of the way by the equally titanic Peter O'Toole. If the supporting performers weren't so strong themselves those two would absolutely eradicate them from the screen they're so powerful.
A great movie.
My favorite film. Every aspect is magnificent.
What's sad is two minutes after delivering this amazing speech, her character gets the chance to seize the upper hand again and she can't resist jumping right back to war.
I guess here is where I admit I have never seen this? Shame on me, I know
