Is there no one else?

"Is there no one else?...IS THERE NO ONE ELSE?!!"

Alas, yes, there is someone else.  There is Brad Pitt saying the very same lines as Achilles in the movie Troy.

No wonder the line sounded familiar and effectively galvanized the younger set. It was electrifying. It was heart stopping. It was... a movie!

Is it all fiction, my friends? Please tell me it isn't so.

Ey chuck, read your rant. damn potholes and open manholes! send me a picture of one of them, will you? i want to compare with those we've got across the street. we'll do an insane contest you know, to drive people (or more precisely, the two of us)nuts.

[miron to mlq3:]

do you think edmund really consciously took it from the movie, mlq?
i know nothing wrong with that, but there's no denying it diminishes the power of his message. I felt he was in a situation that required no tricks of rhetoric. There he was, a young fresh voice, the lone warrior fielded by the wounded minority, a david against a wall of goliaths, in a battle where no less than the presidency and the future of the country is at stake.
is that the most appropriate time to be quoting lines from a blockbuster hollywood movie starring brad pitt?
he had the opportunity there to give the country a new battlecry...
sayang eh, sayang...i liked the presence of this edmund reyes. i hope he finds the words in time for plenary.

There's nothing new about using lines. It's as good a rhetorical trick as any.
