4-Year-Old Channels Kurt Russell's 'Miracle' Speech

The kid has shown his potential at age five. Now lets see what his handlers along the way will make of that. By handlers I mean parents, teachers coaches, neighbors, society, everyone who interacts with him as he grows into a man.May the higher power protect him from all the evil doers out there.

In my opinion the little tike had more passion than Kurt did in the speech. I think it is good that his dad recorded that for him, that is something that he can look back on when he grows up and think wow I did that at that age. I personaly wouldn't have put my childs performance out there for the whole world to see, but everyone has their own morals and opinions. Just like someone else had commented you got to watch more closely what you allow your children say and do because there is alway some critic that might turn you in for some stupid things like that, but let others get by with mental and physical abuse to other children. I guess like the saying goes "It takes all types to make up the world"!!

He looks like the Gerber baby with a suit.

Not only is this very cute but it is also instilling self confidence in the child. How many of us to this day have difficulty talking to an audience? He just may grow up to be a leader. Installing passion and self confidence is a great gift that a parent can give a child.

Good Lord guys he is a baby..... you can not tell me that those of you with children sitting here complaining about this little boy learning these lines and preforming them that your child does not have a movie that is the "ALL TIME BEST" for them right now??? I know a little boy that watched Star Ship Troopers 4-6 times a day and again at bedtime. Your children don't do that? At least this boy had a movie and speech that had no real "graphic" scene or language in it, and he will probably be a A B student if he is five and can already read and memorize like that? Burger King my booty that kid might be the one to cure cancer what do we know? I say leave him alone and let him enjoy what he has of his childhood and do what he wants with his movie and acting.

Are you kidding me !!! Who could be upset about a child who so clearly has the love and attention from his father that every child needs and deserves !!! Its obvious that this father is spending time with his son and whats wrong with that? As for content, is it so bad to expose a child to the importance of striving to be your best and reach for you dreams ?! The world needs more devoted passionate fathers . And to those of you who fit that bill God bless !!

IT was great. The kid is lucky to have a father that shares his passions with him. If the kid can memorize that speech think what he can do later with the multiplication tables or when the kids runs for Student council and already knows how to talk in front of people. This kid learns from his dad as he learned from his dad. Thank God for that!

My daughter is 3 and knows lines from Bambi plus ALL the songs from Barney, Lazy Town, etc in English and Spanish. I agree with the posts that say all kids do it, it's just usually kids programs, not hockey movies. Now, if he understood the motivational aspect of the speach, that would be even better.

It is better than memorizing the words to barney the dinosaur. It looks like he can read a little too...not bad for a 4 year old.

I can't understand most of what he says. He is an ugly kid and the movie probaby sucked.

SIGN THAT KID UP FOR ACTING CLASSES! Come on people...get a sense of humor. That little guy is too cute! And a pretty good actor to boot. Hey Dad...if I were you, I'd call Disney and get him into the movies : )

This great! This father is great for spending this time with his son. Just think what this does to the boys self esteem. Notice he is reading the script, he is only four years old. If more dads would spend this time with their kids, this world would not be so screwed up. The time we parents spend with our kids is all valuble.
Keep up the good work dad.

How about we worry about our own kids and whats going on in our own lives and stop finding stupid things to come down on other people for. It could be worse.. there are fathers that aren't spending any time with their children.

This was cute! It showed a relationship between a father and son.... It's better hearing this then curse words a child could pick up from a day care or neighborhood kid. People should not judge others! My comment is... Good job sharing your passion dad, with your son.

I think this little boy is incredibly cute and smart. If he can memorize a 2 minute scene from a movie, imagine what else he's capable of doing. I have absolutely no problem with posting this on youtube compared with other bull ppl post on there.

I just watched the originaclip w/ Kurt Russel. What's even more amazing than the kid is that Russel was able to deliver his lines w/ a straight face while wearing plaid pants

Haven't seen the video, but the father and son, together, watch their favorite movie about a winning Olympic miracle for the U.S. vs the Soviet Union in ice hockey. I'm thinking the kid learned more from this than from spending hours watching kiddie shows or playing video games. The father is proud of his son, who at age 5 can repeat an influential speech rather than imitate Heckle & Jeckle. So long as the father only posts this one video of his son doing something decent and remarkable, it is not exploitation of his kid.

This should serve as a reminder that children can and do learn from an early age... but THEY LEARN WHAT WE TEACH THEM, be it how to spell C A T, or to memorize an inspirational speech. If this kid had memorized and repeated something like, say, Dr. King's "I Have a Dream", we would be singing the kid's praises as a prodigy. This is no different.
