It sounds too good to be true: Al Pacino has joined team MAGA, narrating a short viral video regarding the political comeback of President Donald Trump.
And, just like all things that sound too good to be true, it is, fitting though the voiceover may seem.
The video gained traction because it was reposted by Juanita Broaddrick โ the now-conservative activist who got embroiled in the political world after she accused former President Bill Clinton, under oath, of raping her when he was governor of Arkansas.
โI woke up to this video. Al Pacino joins MAGA. WOW!!!โ she said.
The video begins with Trump walking down a hallway and Pacino narrating: โThree minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives, all comes down to today. Either we heal as a team, or weโre going to crumble, inch by inch, play by play, โtil weโre finished.โ
Then, Trump getting hit by a would-be assassinโs bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Pacino: โWeโre in hell right now.โ A montage of clips regarding those talking about the assassination and an insinuation of who might have been behind this all (Chuck Schumer, on an unrelated subject: โYou take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday of getting back at youโ). Thereโs also Elon Musk praising him for pumping his fist โwith blood streaming down his face.โ
โThis is instinctual courage,โ Musk says.
Pacino again: โWe can stay here, get the s*** kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb out of hell.โ Footage of Trump at his trials and his mug shot.
Then, a photo showing how close the bullet came. Pacino: โOne inch at a time.โ
โNow, I canโt do it for you,โ Pacino says. โIโm too old. The inches we need are everywhere around us.โ Trump walking with ear bandaged out to the Republican National Convention.
โTheyโre in every break of the game, every minute, every second,โ Pacinoโs narration continues. โOn this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch because we know when we add up all those inches, thatโs going to make the f***ing difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!โ
โIโll tell you this, in any fight, itโs the guy whoโs willing to die, whoโs going to win that inch,โ Pacino says, along with text on the screen that says โOur fight has just begun.โ
And it continues, with triumphal footage of Trump. Itโs an inspiring speech, although it doesnโt quite match the material. And the first sign that something is off, if you arenโt familiar with the source material or didnโt see the community notes on it, is the appearance of (sigh) Alex Jones and the Infowars.com logo on screen โ with Jones talking about โtaking our country back,โ presumably one bottle of overpriced vitamins at a time:

As for Pacino himself, itโs worth noting heโs largely stayed out of politics in his public life.
Even his choice of projects could give you one impression or another. Take his role as a whistleblower on police misconduct (โSerpicoโ) or a man robbing a bank to pay for his male loverโs gender-reassignment surgery at a time when such subjects were far more taboo (โDog Day Afternoonโ) and you could get the impression heโs a progressive. Or, look at his role as a sympathetic blind Vietnam veteran and retired colonel (โScent of a Womanโ) or as Satan in a movie that argues supernatural evil is very real and all-too-tempting (โThe Devilโs Advocateโ), and you could cast him as a conservative.
The point is, nobody knows, but heโs definitely not on team MAGA.
And the words heโs speaking were at least partially penned, and in a movie directed by, a man who definitely isnโt: ultra-progressive Oliver Stone, who has put out a hagiographical documentary about his friendship with brutal Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez (โMi Amigo Hugoโ), among other more well-known leftist cinematic detritus.
In this case, itโs from one of his less-political works โ although still pretty meh, if youโve never seen it โ 1999โs โAny Given Sunday,โ which takes on the brutal, cutthroat world of professional football, and comes to the conclusion that it is (get ready for this hot cinematic take), in fact, brutal and/or cutthroat.
Given that the NFL obviously wasnโt going to hand over the rights to Oliver freaking Stone, this monologue comes before a championship game โ which is definitely not modeled on the Super Bowl in any way โ in which Pacino, coach of the fictional Miami Sharks, gives a speech even Vince Lombardi would have been envious of, because it was written by Hollywood people making a big-budget movie:
Whatever the case, if the appearance of Alex Jones at the end didnโt tip you off to the veracity of this, no, this wasnโt Pacino going all-in with MAGA. Itโs also interesting to see Jones โ a man who is not wholly unfamiliar with the interiors of civil courtrooms โ tempting the lawyers of a guy almost too liberal for Hollywood with a video that certainly, shall we say, may raise some questions about fair use doctrine.
So, no, Pacino isnโt going to be on stage with Trump, J.D., Melania and Elon anytime soon. Sorry to disappoint you.
