Скачать или смотреть Ender's Game - Mazer Rackham Monologue - Orson Scott Card - Atticus Reads

My favorite monologue from Ender's Game (the book), which was cut from the movie.

Mazer Rackham goes on a long speech about what he expects Ender to do as his student, what humanity expects from him, and what the enemy expects to give to him.

The film adaptation to the book reduces the time in between the First and Second Formic Wars and so preserving Rackham's life through high speed interstellar travel was no longer relevant to the story. Still, I found Rackham's character to be reduced in stature and his legendary status wanting. I was hoping to hear the monologue, and since it didn't happen, here it is. I hope I did some justice.

In the book, where Rackham discusses his tutelage with Ender, there are bits where Ender speaks up--I have omitted his lines to make Rackham's speech more dynamic. I hope you enjoy my treatment.
