00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,200 You are watching that revenge, and you don't remember that you drove the people to it. 283 00:26:30,300 --> 00:26:33,600 Now you protest, but it's too late to start crying over spilt blood. 284 00:26:33,700 --> 00:26:37,100 What is the blood of these aristocrats compared with the blood the people shed for you? 285 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,200 Many of them had their throats slit by your gangs. 286 00:26:39,300 --> 00:26:41,400 Many of them died more slowly in your workshops. 287 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,800 So what is this sacrifice compared with the sacrifices the people made to keep you fat? 288 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,000 What are a few looted mansions compared with their looted lives? 289 00:26:50,300 --> 00:26:52,100 You don't care... 290 00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:57,300 ...if the foreign armies with whom you're making secret deals march in and massacre the people. 291 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,000 You hope the people will be wiped out, so you can flourish... 292 00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:03,900 ...and when they are wiped out, not a muscle will twitch in your puffy bourgeois faces... 293 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,900 ...which are now all twisted up with anger and disgust. 294 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,800 Monsieur de Sade, we can't allow this... 295 00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:18,200 ...you really can't call this education. 296 00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:22,000 It isn't making my patients any better, they're all becoming over-excited. 297 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:29,000 After all, we invited the public here to show them that our patients are not all social lepers. 298 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,900 We only show these people massacred, because this indisputably occurred. 299 00:27:34,100 --> 00:27:39,400 Please calmly watch these barbarous displays which could not happen nowadays. 300 00:27:39,500 --> 00:27:45,300 The men of that time mostly now demised were primitive, we are more civilised. 301 00:27:51,700 --> 00:27:55,300 The execution of the aristocrats. 302 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,900 Look at them, Marat... 303 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,800 ...these men who once owned everything. 304 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,900 Now that their pleasures have been taken away... 305 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,600 ...the guillotine saves them from endless boredom. 306 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,100 Gaily they offer their heads as if for coronation. 307 00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:17,200 Is not that the pinnacle of perversion? 308 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,400 The execution of the king! 309 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,800 Conversation concerning life and death. 310 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:33,200 I read in your books, de Sade, in one of your immortal works... 311 00:30:33,300 --> 00:30:36,100 ...that the animating force of nature is destruction... 312 00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:40,700 ...and that our only instrument for measuring life is death. 313 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,300 Correct, Marat. 314 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,500 But man has given a false importance to death. 315 00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:57,000 Any animal, plant or man that dies adds to Nature's compost heap... 316 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:02,000 ...becomes the manure without which nothing could grow, nothing could be created. 317 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,900 Death is simply part of the process. 318 00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:09,100 Every death, even the cruellest death... 319 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,500 ...drowns in the total indifference of Nature. 320 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,400 Nature would watch unmoved... 321 00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:18,700 ...if we destroyed the entire human race. 322 00:31:24,300 --> 00:31:26,700 I hate Nature... 323 00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:32,500 ...this passionless spectator, this unbreakable iceberg-face that can bear everything... 324 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:38,300 ...this goads us to greater and greater acts. 325 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,900 But though I hate this goddess... 326 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:46,300 ...I see that the greatest acts in history have followed her laws. 327 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:51,200 Nature teaches a man to fight for his own happiness. 328 00:31:51,300 --> 00:31:55,400 And if he must kill to gain, that happens... 329 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,400 ...while then the murder is natural. 330 00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:04,200 Haven't we always crushed down those weaker than ourselves? 331 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:09,200 Haven't we torn at their throats with continuous villainy and lust? 332 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:16,300 Haven't we experimented in our laboratories before applying the final solution? 333 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,400 Man is a destroyer. 334 00:32:19,900 --> 00:32:24,700 But if he kills and takes no pleasure in it, he's a machine. 335 00:32:25,300 --> 00:32:29,900 He should destroy with passion, like a man. 336 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,100 Let me remind you of the execution of Damiens... 337 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,700 ...after his unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Louis the Fifteenth. 338 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,200 Remember how Damiens died? 339 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,900 How gentle the guillotine is compared with his torture? 340 00:32:52,500 --> 00:32:55,900 It lasted four hours while the crowd goggled... 341 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:01,300 ...and Casanova at an upper window felt under the skirts of the ladies watching. 342 00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:06,900 His chest, arms, thighs and calves were slit open. 343 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,200 Molten lead was poured into each slit... 344 00:33:09,300 --> 00:33:14,000 ...boiling oil they poured over him, burning wax, sulphur. 345 00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:15,800 They burnt off his hands... 346 00:33:15,900 --> 00:33:18,500 ...they tied ropes to his arms and to his legs... 347 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,500 ...and harnessed him to four horses and geed them up. 348 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,900 They pulled at him for an hour... 349 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,000 ...but they'd never done it before, and he wouldn't... 350 00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:30,600 ...come apart... 351 00:33:30,700 --> 00:33:34,600 ...until they sawed through his shoulders and hips. 352 00:33:35,500 --> 00:33:38,800 So he lost the first arm, and then the second arm... 353 00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:41,800 ...and he watched what they did to him... 354 00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:47,800 ...and then he turned to us, and he shouted out so that everyone could understand. 355 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,100 And when he lost the first leg and then the second leg... 356 00:33:52,300 --> 00:33:54,600 ...he still lived. 357 00:33:55,700 --> 00:34:00,800 And in the end, he hung there, a bloody torso with a nodding head... 358 00:34:01,100 --> 00:34:02,500 ...just groaning... 359 00:34:02,700 --> 00:34:08,600 ...and staring at the crucifix which the father confessor held up to him. 360 00:34:14,700 --> 00:34:16,400 That... 361 00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:18,200 ...was a festival... 362 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,200 ...with which today's festivals can't compete. 363 00:34:21,500 --> 00:34:24,900 Even our inquisition has no meaning nowadays. 364 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,100 Now they are all official. 365 00:34:27,100 --> 00:34:30,600 We condemn to death without emotion... 366 00:34:31,100 --> 00:34:35,400 ...and there's no singular, personal death to be had... 367 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:41,100 ...only an anonymous, cheapened death which we could dole out to entire nations... 368 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,700 ...on a mathematical basis... 369 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:50,800 ...until the time comes for all life to be extinguished. 370 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,200 Citizen Marquis... 371 00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:56,900 ...you may sit as a judge in our tribunals... 372 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:02,300 ...you may have fought with us last September when we dragged out of the gaols the aristocrats who were plotting against us... 373 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,600 ...but you still talk like a grand seigneur... 374 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,700 ...and what you call the indifference of Nature is your own lack of compassion. 375 00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:14,500 Compassion, Marat, is the property of the privileged classes. 376 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,400 When the giver bends to the beggar, he throbs with contempt. 377

lesson to their children. 397 00:37:31,700 --> 00:37:35,000 The kings are our dear fathers... 398 00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:39,300 ...under whose care we live in peace. 399 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,600

prayed to that image of their helplessness. 407 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,300 And the priests said:.. 408 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,700 ..."Raise your hands to heaven, bend your knees..." 409

to unite mankind... 856 01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:35,800 ...when already you see how the few idealists who did join together in the name of harmony... 857 01:11:35,900 --> 01:11:38,000 ...are now out of
