Magneto (Daniel Day Lewis) : ..".. I see a crisis in the male idea.. of what a man actually is.. and I see what a man decidedly should not be... a man should not be a man in his 60's, or his 70's, or his 80's.. a man should be a man in his forties.. a man who studies foreign languages, analytical chemistry, James Joyce's "Ulysess" in German and French translations.. a man who studies the most advanced Italian.. and helps the Grand-Dame of the Savage Land (Monica Bellucci) with her Italian.. and with her French and German equally... a man who studies the books of David Kahn.. a man who studies German military espionage during World War II, a man who studies a book about the Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939-1941... this is who she be a man in these war-frought days of the twenty-first century.. not these older, rather antiquated men.. who seem so obsessed with their own obsolete value.. it is the day.. the age .. of the Uncanny X-Men..."..
monologue for Daniel Day Lewis's Magneto written by Hanno Ridal Raudsepp....
