1
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
I welcome you again to the Donmar Theatre.

2
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,500
Hope you're having a good time during intermission.

3
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:21,000
And next to me now is Josie Rourke,
she is not only the director of Coriolanus,

4
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
but also the director of this brave theater.
Hello Josie.

5
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Thank you very much, it’s nice to hear such words.

6
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
I saw Tom Hiddleston a little earlier
behind the scenes, in full makeup, with scars -

7
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
amazing moment -
and said, "What should I ask Josie?"

8
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
and he replied, “ask her
why Coriolanus and why now.”

9
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Well I think it's a wonderful play
perhaps an underrated play

10
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
because they don’t put it on very often,
like other plays of Shakespeare.

11
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Why now - I hope
people understood from the first part,

12
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
that this play is always relevant.

13
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
It is about the struggle of the people to express their interests,

14
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
about how he tries to achieve understanding of the soldiers,

15
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
who fought heroically for his country,

16
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000
but perhaps he doesn’t know how to fix it at all
relationships with people and being a politician.

17
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Coriolanus, I think, is a wonderful warrior,
but a terrible politician

18
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
he doesn't understand
how to talk to people

19
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
he was brought up to disrespect them,
He has a difficult relationship with his family.

20
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
And all this, it seems to me, is relevant
at any time, not just these days.

21
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
What comparisons did you offer?
When was the play staged?

22
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
We talked a lot about this
to understand what people want,

23
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
how hard it is to survive
in the absence of the necessary resources -

24
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000
in the play they lack grain,
and we discussed electricity prices.

25
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
During rehearsals we talked
about these difficulties and also about

26
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
what was the patrician class like?
about the feeling of privilege,

27
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
when do you think you were born
in order to rule.

28
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Maybe this is no longer so relevant, I don’t know.

29
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,000
But I think what's most interesting to us is
it was possible to understand who these characters were,

30
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,000
what was their psychology,
what does it mean to look for your place in the world,

31
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000
be a bad politician
a great warrior or someone

32
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
who is trying to get through
into politics as tribunes;

33
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
what is a mother who has many
ambitions for you, like Volumnia;

34
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,000
or a wife who is trying to get along
in this difficult family, as happens with Virgilia.

35
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Yes, we were primarily attracted to the characters.

36
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
You cast a man for the role of Coriolanus,

37
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000
which MTV announced
the sexiest man in the world.

38
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Why did you want to invite him, Josie?

39
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
I have no idea
Why did this pop into my head?

40
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Well, he's a great actor,
and maybe, obviously, look sexy...

41
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
- Look?..
- Yes, in our theater many

42
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
look sexy, it's important to mention that.

43
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:58,000
So, I think it's the ability of Coriolanus

44
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000
make people crazy about it,

45
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,000
he has outstanding
qualities of a leader, a military leader -

46
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000
I believe Tom is capable of delivering this.
We were looking for a younger actor

47
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,000
people often play this role
a dozen or two years older.

48
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:22,000
But when you see him fight Hadley,
he has this fight scene with Aufidius,

49
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
or when he rushes alone
to storm the city, you absolutely believe

50
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
that this young man -
the best warrior Rome has.

51
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000
And besides, you understand
that, as a young man,

52
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
he is trying to find his place in the world,
find your way

53
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
understand the needs around him -

54
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
the needs of his family, the demands of his city.

55
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
I thought Tom was a great actor

56
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,500
and really physically developed
and is able to implement it,

57
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:49,000
so he will play this role brilliantly.

58
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,500
You have done something extraordinary.

59
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:54,000
I came to the show last week

60
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,000
it was a matinee show on a weekday,
and the hall was packed.

61
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
People bought tickets...

62
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
that is, all released on the first day
You sold your tickets on the same day.

63
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000
- It was incredible.
- And the audience that I saw
they were mostly schoolchildren -

64
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,000
finally jumped to their feet
and shouted with delight and gratitude for
what they just experienced.

65
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:20,000
They clapped, they laughed at every joke
it was just an incredible sight.

66
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
People stand on your street at night, sleep there,
so that you can buy tickets in the morning.

67
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
This is Shakespeare!..
And not even his most popular play.

68
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000
How did you do this?!

69
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
I think it's thanks to
our wonderful theater,

70
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,500
group of actors who showed great
interest in production

71
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:39,000
and attracted enormous attention from the public.

72
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Partly due to their previous works,
people are interested in seeing those

73
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
who they know from films and television;

74
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
but also because of the story itself,
told in the play -

75
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000
I think it's a really beautiful play
Great story, truly captivating.

76
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,000
And one of the reasons that we are so pleased
when at the end people applaud while standing -

77
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
they were fascinated by the story that they may have
didn't know too well.

78
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000
That is, we all probably know
I won’t spoil how Hamlet ends...

79
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000
I hope that many of those who today
watches the performance in different parts of the world,

80
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
will be surprised and shocked by
what happens at the end of Coriolanus?

81
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000
and this rarely happens when it comes to a play,
written 400 years ago.

82
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Wouldn't it be great if they told you
that everywhere, from Mexico City to Sydney,

83
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
did people give a standing ovation at the end of the performance?

84
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,000
I can’t encourage anyone to give a standing ovation,
I would be embarrassed to do this.

85
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000
- Josie, thank you very much.
- Thank you.
- Please accept my congratulations,

86
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
and we will all wait to see what happens in the end.

87
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000
For more information about broadcasts,
which I talked about at the beginning,

88
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000
you can get it on our website,
from our Twitter, or find us on Facebook,

89
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000
there is a lot of information about broadcasts and productions.

90
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,000
But now we return to Coriolanus.

91
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000
I really hope you like it
second part of the performance. Good night.

92
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,000

Follow him to the gates of Rome
And with the same malice,

93
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,000

how he pursued you, laugh at him.
And we will go with the guards through the city.

94
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,000

He left. And that's enough.
The nobles who were at the same time with him grumble.

95
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,000

Having stood our ground, we showed
That we are strong. Now you have to hold on
More modest than before.

96
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,000

Let them go home.
Say that their main enemy has been expelled
And the power of the plebeians is strong again, as of old.

97
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,200

- There's his mother.
- Let's get off the road.

98
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,300
<font color="ffff00">
- Why?
- Yes, they say, she made up her mind.

99
00:07:56,300 --> 00:07:58,300

No, it’s too late to leave: they saw us.

100
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:03,000

Ah, here you are! Let the plague sores
The gods will repay you for your love for me and my son!

101
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,500

Quiet! Well, why so loud?

102
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:09,000

If it weren't for the tears, I would tell you...
And now I’ll say... Wait, where are you going?

103
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,000

And you stay. Oh, why was I there?
I don’t have the power to say the same word to my husband!

104
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:19,000

- I see a lot of a man in you.
- What's shameful about that, stupid?

105
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,600

No, look how stupid she is! Yes, really?
I was not born from a man.

106
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:27,000

Unlike you, fox brood,
Banished the one who for the sake of Rome

107
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,500

- Did you strike more times than you managed to say?
- Good sky!

108
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:33,000

Yes, yes, there are more glorious blows behind him,
What wise words do you have?

109
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000

And he always inflicted them for the benefit of Rome.
I'll tell you...

110
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000

However, go away...
No, you have to stay...

111
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,000

I would like
To meet you in the Arabian desert

112
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,000

My son you and all your relatives
And so that he had a good sword with him...

113
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000

- So what?
- And the fact that he would have put an end to all your offspring.

114
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,500

Even children born out of wedlock.
Oh, how many times he was wounded for Rome!

115
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:57,000

Enough, calm down.

116
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:04,000

I would like him, serving his fatherland as he began,
Never tore the knot of merit,
Which he tied himself to her.

117
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,000

- And I would like this.
- I wish I could! Then why did they pit the crowd against him?

118
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000

- Please, let's leave.
- Now I ask you myself - leave:
You did a great job.

119
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:19,500

But first, please listen to two more words:
How much higher is the Capitoline Hill?
The poorest Roman hut,

120
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:29,000
<font color="ffff00">
so the husband of this woman, my son,

121
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000

Although he was expelled by you, he is above you.

122
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:43,000

- Well, that's good. Goodbye.
“You shouldn’t waste time arguing with a crazy person.”

123
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:49,000

My prayers are with you. Let from now on
Only the gods know: to fulfill my curse.

124
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,000

Oh, how I wish to meet them at least once a day,
to take the weight off my soul.

125
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,000

They got it pretty well, and rightly so.

126
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000
<font color="ffff00">
- Shall we have dinner together?
- My food is my anger.

127
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,000

My supper is sorrow.
I will die of hunger with this food.

128
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:21,500

Let's go, and stop moaning helplessly,

129
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,000

But, like Juno, formidable, like me, pour out your anger.

130
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000

Well, let's go.

131
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000

O baseness!

132
00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:19,500

How beautiful you are, rich Antium,

133
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000

And I filled you with widows,

134
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,000

They fell in front of me with a groan
The owners of these marvelous buildings are in battle.

135
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:49,000

Don't recognize Coriolanus, city,
To stone women and children
I was not beaten in the inglorious battle!

136
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:53,000

- Buddy, hello.
- Hello.

137
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,000

Won't you say
Where does the famous Aufidius live here?
And is he in the city?

138
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000

Yes, yes. Today
He gives a feast in honor of the city authorities.

139
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,000

- Where is his house?
- Over here. You are in front of him.

140
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:15,000
<font color="ffff00">
Goodbye, thank you.

141
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,000

Oh, how the world changes!

142
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:28,000

Friends by oath, in whose chest it seemed
The common heart was beating,

143
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:35,000

friends who shared labor, bed, fun, food,
Connected by love and inseparable, like twins, -

144
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:41,000

instantly transforms
A trifling incident in mortal enemies.

145
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:47,000

And the enemies who were deprived of sleep
Their hatred and vengeful plans,

146
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:59,000

The same small and sudden reason
Brings you closer, makes you make friends
And by marriage two offspring will be merged into one.

147
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:07,000

Isn't it the same with me? I hate
The place where I was born and fell in love
This is the enemy city.

148
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,000

Well, I'll come in.
Perhaps Aufidius will kill me -

149
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:22,000

And he will be right. But if she shelters,
I will honestly serve his fatherland.

150
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:24,800

Wine, wine!

151
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:32,000

- Well, we have servants! Did they all fall asleep, or what?
-Where is Kotus? The master is calling him. Cotus!

152
00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:38,000

How rich the house is and the smell of the feast is sweet!
Only I am an uninvited guest.

153
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:47,500

What are you doing here, buddy? Where are you from?
This is no place for you. Get yourself out the door.

154
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000

I didn't deserve a better reception:
After all, I am Coriolanus.

155
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:56,500

Where did you come from? Where were the gatekeeper's eyes?
Why does he let all sorts of ragamuffins in here?

156
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,500

- Get out!
- Hey, get off it!

157
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:02,500
<font color="ffff00">
- How do you mean get rid of it? Get away from us!
- You're bothering me!

158
00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:07,200

- No, look how brave he is!
Well, now I’ll talk to you in my own way!
- Who else is this?

159
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:12,000

Some kind of crazy person. I've never seen anything like this:
I just can’t get him out of the house.
Go and call the gentleman here.

160
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,700

What do you want here, buddy?
Do me a favor and get out.

161
00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:17,000

Leave me alone. I will not desecrate your hearth.

162
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,500
<font color="ffff00">
- What kind of person are you?
- I am not of a simple kind.

163
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000

- You are not just a poor man, but a real beggar.
- You're right: I'm poor.

164
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:29,000

- Wouldn’t you like, beggar of no ordinary kind,
look for another shelter.
- This is no place for you. Do me a favor and get out. Well!..

165
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:36,000

- Know your business. Go beg for scraps!
-Are you still resisting?

166
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,000

- Go tell the gentleman what kind of guest has come to us.
- I'll be there in a minute.

167
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000

- Where do you live?
- Under the vault of heaven.

168
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000

- Under the vault of heaven?
- Yes.

169
00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:53,000

- Where is this located?
- In the kingdom of kites and ravens.

170
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,000

In the kingdom of kites and ravens? What a donkey!
So, together with the magpies?

171
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,000

- No, I don’t serve your master.
- You seem to be touching my master?

172
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000

It's more honest than touching your owner.

173
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,500
<font color="ffff00">
I see you talk too much.
Go and serve at the table.

174
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,700

Away!

175
00:15:12,700 --> 00:15:15,000

-Where is this guy?
- Here it is, sir.

176
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000

Don't be afraid to disturb the guests,
I would beat him like a dog.

177
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000

Where are you from and who? What do you want?

178
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,000

Why are you silent? Tell me who you are.

179
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:37,000

Well, if now, looking into my face,
Again, Tullus, you won’t be able to recognize me,

180
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,600
<font color="ffff00">
I'll have to name myself.

181
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,400

Tell me your name.

182
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:46,000

It is not sweet for the Volsky ear,
For yours - hostile.

183
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,000

Who are you? Your appearance is formidable. On your face...
The habit of power is read.

184
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,000

Visible from under your tattered gear
The ship is mighty. Who are you?

185
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000

Now you're going to get dark.

186
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,500

- What, did you find out?
- I don’t know. Who are you?

187
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:22,000
<font color="ffff00">
I am that Caius Marcius,

188
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:29,000

for causing so much
Harm and wounds to your fellow Volscians,
And most of all - to you,

189
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,000

and for this he was nicknamed Coriolanus.

190
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:45,000

My ungrateful homeland gave me
For the blood shed for Rome,
For terrible dangers, for service

191
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,600

This nickname alone is a reward.

192
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:56,000

It is a guarantee of malice and enmity,
Which you must have for me.

193
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000

This is the only one I have left:

194
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:10,000

Everything else was devoured by the people,
Whose envy and cruelty unbridled
The cowardly inactivity of the nobility,

195
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:17,000

Left me and allowed me to
So that slave voices drive me out
From Rome with boos.

196
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,000

And so, pressed by need, I stepped under the roof
Above your hearth.

197
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:28,000

Don't flatter yourself,
That I came in the hope of saving a life:

198
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,000

I am afraid of death, of no one in the world
I wouldn't avoid you like I do.

199
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:44,000

No, only the thirst to pay off those
By whom I was banished, you pushed me to you.

200
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:51,000

Since you still hide anger in your heart
And you want to take revenge as for your grievances,

201
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,000

So for the humiliation of the fatherland -

202
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,000

Hurry to take advantage of my misfortunes,

203
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:03,000

Put your thirst for vengeance at your service,
with which I burn,

204
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,000

for I will be in the frenzy of evil underground spirits
I fight against a rotten homeland.

205
00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:19,500

But if you are tired of torturing fate,
If you don't dare do this, remember:

206
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:29,000

I'm so disgusted with life that I'll set it up myself

207
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:37,000

I am my breast to your long-standing enmity.
Stab me, or are you a fool:

208
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:48,000

because I have always pursued you fiercely,
I let your homeland bleed in barrels,

209
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:56,000

And my life, without becoming your servant,
It will be your shame.

210
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:36,000

Marcius, Marcius!
With every word you uproot
From my heart the former anger.

211
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:44,000

Speak to me from the clouds Jupiter
About the secrets of heaven and seal his words with an oath,

212
00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:50,000

I would believe him
No more than I believe you, Marcius!

213
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,000

Let my arms wrap lovingly around that body,

214
00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:01,000

about which he broke
A hundred times my heavy dart, whose fragments
Luna was wounded while taking off.

215
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:13,000

I clutch the anvil of my sword
In my arms and from now on I compete
With you in noble ardent friendship,

216
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:18,000

As I once did with you out of ambition
I competed in valor.

217
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:31,000

Listen, I loved a girl, my fiancée,
And hardly anyone in the world sighed
As sincerely as I do for her;

218
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:38,000

but even at that moment when my chosen one
For the first time she stepped through my threshold,

219
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,500

My heart could not dance more joyfully,
What, O high spirit, at our meeting!

220
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,000
<font color="ffff00">
Know, Mars, we have secretly gathered an army here,

221
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:56,000

And I was thinking about trying again
To deprive you of your shield and hand together -
Or lose your own hand.

222
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,000

Since I was defeated by you
In the twelfth match in a row,

223
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,000

Not a night went by without me dreaming
To me our contractions:

224
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,000

I saw in a dream how you and I were
squeezing each other's throats,

225
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:18,000

They rolled on the ground, tore off their helmets, -
And I woke up exhausted.

226
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:25,000

Worthy Marcius, if they had not
Other reasons for the Volscian quarrel with Rome,
Then for one exile your

227
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:32,000

We would call all citizens to arms
From seventy to ten
And they would bring war to the borders of Rome,

228
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,000

To flood an ungrateful city
Its furious flow.

229
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,000

Come into my house, where, like friends, you will shake hands
To the senators who today

230
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000

They say goodbye to me before the hike
At least not to Rome, but to its possessions.

231
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,000

Good gods, how you have sought me out!

232
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:55,500

You are the boss here.

233
00:21:56,500 --> 00:22:01,000

If personally
Do you want to take your revenge?

234
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000

I will share with you power over the army.

235
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,500

Make your own decisions. Your experience is richer than ours.

236
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:16,000

You know better
Where Rome is strong, where it is weak. You know better -

237
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:23,000

Should we go straight to his gate?
Or in remote areas first
Sow fear and defeat the Romans.

238
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:29,000

Come into the house. Let me first
Present to those who must consent
To your plans.

239
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000

A hundred times hello!

240
00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:39,000

We were at odds, but we became friends
Even stronger.

241
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,000

Give me your hand. Hello!

242
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,500

-What should we be afraid of? I haven't heard from him.
- We managed to stop the evil in time.

243
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:26,000

- Look - no way, Menenius?
- Yes, he is the one. Since then he has become much nicer to us.

244
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,300

- Hello to you.
- And you both too.

245
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:34,000

They regret your Coriolanus
Only his friends

246
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,500

and the state
To spite him, it stood and stands.

247
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:42,500

All this is good, but it would be better
If only he had given in.

248
00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:44,000

Don't know where he is?

249
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,000
<font color="ffff00">
I don't know anything. News about him
The wife and mother do not receive it.

250
00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:52,500

- May the gods protect you both!
- Neighbors, good evening!

251
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:54,500

Good evening,
Good evening everyone!

252
00:23:54,500 --> 00:23:58,500

We and our families
They must pray for you on their knees.

253
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000

Live, prosper.

254
00:24:02,300 --> 00:24:06,000

See you, our good neighbors.
Oh, that Coriolanus loved you as we do!

255
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,000

- May the gods protect you.
- See you soon!

256
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,500

Now it’s calmer, easier to live than before,
When the townspeople shout in rebellion
They rushed through the streets.

257
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:19,000

And happy is Rome.

258
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000

Decent stands.
Some slave (we threw him into prison)

259
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,000

He chatted that two huge Volcan troops,
They broke into the lands of Rome,

260
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000

Everything on the way is mercilessly swept away.

261
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,000

That's Avfidy
He stuck out again when he learned that Marcius had been expelled,
Your horns.

262
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000

What have you done to us - Marcius, Marcius?

263
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,500

Under the rods of a chatterbox! Disturb the peace
The Volscians cannot.

264
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:44,000

How is it that they can’t?
No, experience teaches us that they very much can.

265
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000

I myself witnessed this three times.

266
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,000

Isn't it better, before spanking a slave,
Ask him around

267
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:57,000

so as not to flog
The one who is aware of the impending danger
Is he warning you?

268
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,000

- What are you talking about? This cannot be!
- Impossible.

269
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,000

Menenius, we are called to the Senate.

270
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:09,000

The patricians flock to the Senate.
The news arrived, erasing the blush from their faces.

271
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,500

- Don't you know...
- It's all this slave's fault.
Let him be flogged in front of the people.

272
00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:17,500

The slave did not lie. The news was confirmed
And new ones came - even worse than the first.

273
00:25:17,500 --> 00:25:21,400

- How is that even worse?
- Tell me, what do you mean, scarier?

274
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,000
<font color="ffff00">
How true this is, I don't know
But they speak openly

275
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,300

like Marcius
Leads troops with Aufidius together,

276
00:25:29,300 --> 00:25:34,000

To all Romans, young and old
Vowing revenge.

277
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,000

- These are all fairy tales!
- Invented by the weaker side,

278
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,000

- to bring Marcius back.
- This is clever!

279
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,000

I don't believe it! The two extremes are
Like Marcius and Aufidius, they will not agree.

280
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,000

- You've done a lot of things!
- What news?

281
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,500

You yourself arranged everything so wisely,
That your daughters will be dishonored,

282
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:53,000

What from your roofs, melted by fire,
Lead rain will pour down on your head,

283
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000

What will your wives become under your nose?
Rape...

284
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,000

Answer: what news?
I'm afraid you've done some great things!
If Marcius is an ally of the Volscians...

285
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:06,700

What kind of “if” is this? He is their idol. They are submissive to him
As if he was not created by nature,
And a more intelligent higher power.

286
00:26:06,700 --> 00:26:09,000

They go after all our offspring

287
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,500

No more apprehensively than the boys
They run after a butterfly or the butcher crushes flies.

288
00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:18,000

We did some great things
You and your artisans,

289
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,500

Which smelled like garlic
And for whom you stood like a mountain.

290
00:26:22,500 --> 00:26:25,500

- It will shake your Rome and bring it down on you...
- You've done a lot!

291
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:29,000

- But can the news be trusted?
- Quite. And a pale corpse
  You will become before you refute them.

292
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,000

All the lands conquered by Rome
They fall away with delight.

293
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,000

Everyone laughs at those straightforward fools
Who, daring to resist,
It’s senseless, even though they die fearlessly.

294
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,000

Who will condemn Marcia? After all, they find
It contains something about his enemies and yours!

295
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000

We're all dead if we don't achieve it
The noble husband has mercy.

296
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,000
<font color="ffff00">
And who will go ask? Tribunes?
Shame won't let them.

297
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,000

People? He has the right
Expect no more compassion from him,
Than the wolf from the shepherds.

298
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,000

His friends?
Why, with a plea to take pity on Rome

299
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:02,000

They would show hostility towards him
And they would have insulted him no less
Than those he hates.

300
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,000

Is it true!
He will set fire to my own house,

301
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,000

Even then I would not have dared to ask for mercy.

302
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:13,000

Yes, you've created a nice little thing
With your artisans!

303
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:18,000

You have sent Rome into such tremors that it cannot be cured.
She's nothing anymore.

304
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,000

- What do we have to do with it?
- Who? Perhaps we? He was dear to us

305
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:28,000

But, noble cowardly brutes,
We succumbed to your mob, and whistled
She expelled him.

306
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000

I am afraid that he will not return to her cry.

307
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:37,000

Tullus Aufidius himself became second in the army
And obeys like a subordinate,
Any sign Marcia.

308
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:43,000

Rome now has one support and defense -
Despair.

309
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,000

And here is your gang!
So, that means Aufidius is with him?

310
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,000

You brought an infection to Rome that day,

311
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:59,000

When your greasy hats
They threw up and demanded with a roar
Expel Coriolanus.

312
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:04,000

He's back
And every hair on his fighters
It will be a scourge for you.

313
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:10,000

He will pay you for your votes and off his shoulders
For every tossed hat
Will blow one brainless head off.

314
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:19,000

What is there! He'll burn us to charcoal,
And that would serve us right.

315
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,500

Terrible news!

316
00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:25,000

I myself
Having said: “Expel,” he added: “It’s a pity.”

317
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:32,000

- Me too.
- Of course, me too. To tell the truth
We weren't the only ones who said that.

318
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:40,000

We thought about making it better for everyone,
and even though they agreed to expel him,
but in their hearts they did not agree with this.

319
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,000

- And you’re good at voting!
- Your pack managed to distinguish itself quite well!

320
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,000

-Are you coming with me to the Senate?
- Where else?

321
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:52,000

Neighbors, go home! Don't be discouraged.

322
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,000

After all, they are all his followers
And they are just waiting for it to be confirmed
What are they supposedly so afraid of?

323
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:07,000

- Go and don’t hang your heads.
- May the gods have mercy on us!
Let's go home, neighbors.

324
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,000

“We shouldn’t have expelled him—I’ve always said that.”
- We all said the same thing.

325
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:19,500

- I don’t like this news.
- Me too.

326
00:29:19,500 --> 00:29:26,000

- I would give half of what I own,
Let it be a lie.
- Well, let's go.

327
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:47,000

So, does this mean that the army is clinging to the Romans?
- There is something magical about him.

328
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,000

The soldiers only talk about him. Name Marcius
Serves them as a pre-dinner prayer,

329
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,000

Feeds their table conversation,
“Thank you” replaces food.

330
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,500

Yes, leader, for the duration of this campaign
You are pushed into the shadows.

331
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:04,000

What should I do?
Fight? This means our plans
Break your knees.

332
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:12,000

He is more arrogant with me than I expected,
when we hugged for the first time.

333
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,000

But he's always like that
It can't be changed. I'm sorry
Something I can't fix.

334
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:22,000

My leader, I would like for your own good,
So that you do not share power over the army with him,

335
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,000

Either he gave the orders himself, or
He was handed over to the authorities.

336
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:33,000

I understand you.
However, remember: he does not foresee
What charges will I bring?

337
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,600

I tell him on the day of settling all accounts.

338
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:42,000

Although it seems that he himself believes in it,
And the crowd probably thinks the same way -

339
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,000

That he was campaigning and doing the Volscians
Excellent leadership

340
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,000

that fights in battles like a dragon, that only stands
He should swing his sword as the enemy runs,

341
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:57,000

But what he's wearing on the day of reckoning
He'll break it for himself or for me - ahead.

342
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:07,000

- Do you think he will be able to take Rome?
- All cities surrender before the siege,

343
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,500

And in Rome the nobility is on his side;
The patricians and the senate are his friends;
Not warriors of the tribune;

344
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:17,000

and the people will return it with the same ease,
With which he was sent into exile.

345
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:24,000

And he will seize Rome just like a sea eagle
He grabs fish and is domineering by nature.

346
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:29,000

He was their faithful servant at first,
But he could not bear his glory.

347
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,000

Was it pride or ardor?

348
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,000

Or perhaps its very nature,
Stubborn, unwilling to give in.

349
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:42,000

Of this, one or the other is to blame,
That he caused fear and self-hatred
And he was expelled for that.

350
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,000

He destroyed his own merits by talking about them.

351
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:58,000

From one fire another saves;
With a nail we knock out a driven nail;

352
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:05,000

We diminish right through right,
And we weaken strength with force.

353
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:13,500

Let's go. O Caius, if Rome becomes yours,
Then, unfortunate one, you will be mine.

354
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:20,500

No, I won't go.

355
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:25,500

Did you hear that he
He answered his former leader,
Who loved him more tenderly than his son?

356
00:32:25,500 --> 00:32:29,000

He also called me father. What's the point?

357
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:35,000

Go, by whom he was banished, and prostrate
Falling a mile in front of his tent,
Crawl to mercy on your knees.

358
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,000

If he didn’t listen to Cominius,
I'd rather sit at home.

359
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000

“He didn’t even want to recognize me.”
- Did you hear?

360
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,500

When, having forgotten himself, he said: “Cominius,”

361
00:32:43,500 --> 00:32:49,000

I became about the blood shed together,
To remember our friendship.

362
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,000

He shouted that there was no Coriolanus, that he had renounced
He from his nicknames

363
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:59,000

and will remain without a name until he has another
The dying Rome will not be forged in the fire of fires.

364
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,000

You worked hard.

365
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:07,000

I said that I would give mercy to the one
Those who do not have the right to wait for it are noble.

366
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,000

He replied that the state is stupid
Ask the one whom it punishes.

367
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000
<font color="ffff00">
What else could he answer?

368
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,500

I asked him to have pity on his friends.

369
00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:22,000

He objected that he had no time
sort through the rotten chaff,

370
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:29,000

Looking for two or three grains,
Why is there a stinking pile of trash for them?
Not burning it is ridiculous.

371
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,000

Two or three grains!
One thing is myself,

372
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,000

others - mother, wife,
His son and this brave warrior.

373
00:33:38,500 --> 00:33:47,000

And you are chaff, rot, whose stench soars
To the very stars. We will burn because of you!

374
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,500

Don't be angry. Well, if you help
You don’t want us to be in inevitable trouble,

375
00:33:51,500 --> 00:34:00,000

So don’t reproach us with it. And yet,
Take it upon yourself to be an intercessor for Rome,

376
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:06,000

Your deft tongue could do more,
Than our hastily recruited army.

377
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,000

- No, I don’t want to get involved in this.
- I beg you, go to him!

378
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,500

For what?

379
00:34:11,500 --> 00:34:15,500
<font color="ffff00">
To at least see if it will suit Rome
Your friendship will benefit.

380
00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:21,000

Well, what if he, like Cominius, drives me away,
Without listening

381
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:27,000

and I will return, gravely offended by my friend’s contempt?
Well, what then?

382
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,500

Then the fatherland will be for your good intentions
I am grateful to you.

383
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:49,000

Well, I'll try.
I think that I will listen to him,

384
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,000

Although he looked askance at Cominius
And biting my lip. How sad it is!

385
00:34:58,300 --> 00:35:09,000

But perhaps Cominius came to him,
When was he in a bad mood and didn't have lunch?
After all, if the veins are empty, the blood does not warm,

386
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,000

Even the sun in the morning is not a joy for us
And we are stingy with money and forgiveness.

387
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:19,000

But if the blood channels
We are filled with wine and food,

388
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,000

Then we are gentler in soul than in the hours,
When we fast like priests.

389
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:30,500

I'd rather wait until lunch softens it up,
And then I’ll start asking.

390
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:35,000

You know the path to his kindness,
And you won't get lost.

391
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,000

Whatever happens,

392
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,300

And I will find out soon what will happen.

393
00:35:48,500 --> 00:35:52,500

- Coriolanus won’t even listen to him.
-Are you so sure?

394
00:35:52,500 --> 00:35:57,000

Yes, I saw him sitting in a tent,
All gilded, eyes sparkling

395
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,300

It’s as if they want to burn Rome.
He imprisoned pity in the prison of resentment.

396
00:36:01,500 --> 00:36:09,000

When I knelt before him,
He muttered to me: “Get up!” - and sent
me with a silent hand,

397
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:17,000

and then notified me by letter that
What it can do and what it cannot do,
Because he is bound by an oath given to the Volscians.

398
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,000

So, we have one hope -

399
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:29,000

Worthy of his wife and mother,
Which, as I heard, decided
Beg him for pity on his fatherland.

400
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:35,000

Let's go. Let's ask them to hurry up.

401
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,500

- Stop! Where did you come from?
- Stop! Back!

402
00:36:55,500 --> 00:37:02,000

I praise you: you are doing a good job.
But I am a dignitary, and we have business with Coriolanus.

403
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,000

- Where are you from?
- From Rome.

404
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,500

Back! The leader does not want to hear about Rome.

405
00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:12,000

Your Rome will burn sooner than you and the leader
Let's talk.

406
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,000

My dears,
When your leader spoke in front of you
About Rome and my friends,

407
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:22,000
<font color="ffff00">
I guarantee he mentioned me.
I am Menenius.

408
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,000

But still - back! And with a name like that
You have no business here.

409
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,000

Listen, little one,
Your leader loved me.

410
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,000

I was that book
Where the chronicle was kept of his deeds.

411
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,000

Fellow citizens read in it about glory
His immortality, at least partly exaggerated by me,

412
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:45,300

then that I am friends (and he was the first among them)
I tried to do justice to the truth,

413
00:37:45,300 --> 00:37:49,000

But sometimes I was too carried away into the distance,
Like a ball that is launched along the path

414
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:54,000

With a deceptive slope and length,
And he laced the praise with a grain of lies.

415
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,000

So let me pass, buddy.

416
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:01,000

Honestly, give him the same amount of praise
how many words did he say in his own honor,

417
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:07,000

I wouldn’t have missed you even then. No, even if it were a lie
like chastity, was considered a virtue.
Therefore - back!

418
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:14,000

Yes, understand, friend: my name is Menenius,
and I have always been a supporter of your leader.

419
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,000

Or rather, a liar, who, as you yourself assure,
I was always making up stories about him.

420
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:24,000

But I am obliged to tell the truth, since I am in his service.
Therefore, I declare to you: I will not miss it. Back!

421
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,000

At least tell me whether he had lunch or not.
Until he has had lunch, I better not talk to him.

422
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,500

- You are a Roman, aren't you?
- Yes, like your leader.

423
00:38:32,500 --> 00:38:36,000

So you should hate Rome as much as he does.

424
00:38:37,300 --> 00:38:42,000

You were first pushed out of the gate
your best defender,

425
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:47,000

gave the enemy your own shield,
to please the senseless rabble,

426
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:52,000

and now you think that the whining of your old women,
will save you from his revenge.

427
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:57,000
<font color="ffff00">
Or whiny pleas
crazy old guys like you.

428
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:08,000

Are you ready for your
blow out the fire with weak breath,
which is about to sweep your city?

429
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:19,000

Not so! Therefore - back!
Return to Rome, let them prepare for the execution.

430
00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:24,000

You are all condemned.
Our leader swore that there would be no mercy for anyone.

431
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:29,000

Take it easy! If your boss knew
that I was here, he would have received me with respect.

432
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,000

- Come on. My boss doesn't even know you.
- I'm talking about your commander.

433
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:42,000

What does he care about you? Back! Who am I telling?
Get away, or I'll bleed the last half pint of blood out of you. Back!

434
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:47,500

- You won't get anything here except kicks. Back!
- But listen, buddy, listen...

435
00:39:47,500 --> 00:39:49,000

What's going on here?

436
00:39:50,300 --> 00:39:57,000

Well, buddy,
you will see how respected I am here.

437
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:03,000

Know that some lousy sentry
will never be able to drive me away from Coriolanus:
He’s like a son to me.

438
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:09,000

Listen to how we talk to him,
and realize that you cannot avoid hanging.

439
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,000

Well look: now you
You'll faint from fear.

440
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,000

May the council of the almighty gods hourly
cares about your well-being

441
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:26,000

and may they love you just as much,
like your old father Menenius.

442
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:33,000

My son, my son!

443
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:46,000

You're preparing a fire for us,
but the moisture of these eyes will extinguish it.

444
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:55,000

For a long time the Romans could not beg me to go to you,
but I knew that I alone was able to touch your heart,

445
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,000

and finally their sighs blew me away
outside the city gates.

446
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:03,000

Look, I conjure you - forgive Rome and yours
compatriots who pray to you.

447
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:12,000

May the good gods dissolve your anger in our tears
and they will throw out the remains of it on this bum,

448
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:17,000

at this blockhead who blocked my path to you.

449
00:41:54,500 --> 00:41:56,500

Go away!

450
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,000

How! Leave?

451
00:42:01,300 --> 00:42:10,000

Mother, son, wife - I don't know them anymore.
My deeds now serve others.

452
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:16,000

Revenge is mine, and the right to mercy is
For the Volscians.

453
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:25,000
<font color="ffff00">
I'd rather poison our former friendship with oblivion,
With mercy I will show how durable
We were connected by it!

454
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:32,000

Go away! My hearing for your requests is more reliably closed,
Than from my soldiers your gates.

455
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:43,000

But since you were once dear to me,
Take this paper. For you
I wrote it and was going to send it to you.

456
00:42:45,500 --> 00:42:49,000

And now, Menenius,
Leave without wasting words!

457
00:42:58,500 --> 00:43:05,000

Aufidius, in Rome
I loved him, but you see...

458
00:43:05,500 --> 00:43:09,000

Yes, you are unchanged in everything.

459
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:22,000

Marcius changed from a man to a dragon:
he has grown wings and has no need to crawl anymore.

460
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:29,000

He walks like a siege tower;
the ground trembles under his steps.

461
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:37,000

There is just as much mercy in him,
how much milk does a tiger have?

462
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,000

Before he has time to give the order,
as it has already been completed.

463
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:50,500

Give him immortality and a throne in heaven -
and there will be a real god.

464
00:43:50,500 --> 00:43:57,000

Well, worthy husband, then your name is Menenius?

465
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:04,000

Tell me how omnipotent it turned out to be!
Can you find your way home yourself?

466
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:09,000

And we got screwed because we
such a tall person was not missed!

467
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,000

There's something I can't see so I'm scared
I had to faint.

468
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,000

I don't care about your leader,
not to the whole world.

469
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:23,000

And speaking of such nonentities,
like you, I don’t even have to think about it.

470
00:44:25,500 --> 00:44:32,000

Who decided to lay hands on himself,
that killer will not be afraid.

471
00:44:34,300 --> 00:44:37,000

Let your leader do his dirty work.

472
00:44:39,500 --> 00:44:47,000

You remain as you are,
so that your misery increases over the years.

473
00:44:51,000 --> 00:45:03,000

I'll tell you the same thing
that you told me: “Get out of my sight!”

474
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,000

But to tell the truth, he is a worthy person!

475
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:18,000
<font color="ffff00">
No, a worthy man is our leader:
it is like a rock or an oak tree - no wind can knock it down.

476
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,000

So, at dawn the army will surround Rome.

477
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:39,500

You, my traveling companion,
I ask you to report to the Volscian Senate,
That I was faithful to you.

478
00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:45,000

Only for our benefit
you tried, but did not heed the prayers of Rome

479
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,500

And friends who trusted in you
I never listened.

480
00:45:49,500 --> 00:45:57,000

That old man
That I was sent to Rome with a broken heart,

481
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:06,000

Loved me more than my father, -
Idolized me. His embassy
It was Rome's last hope.

482
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:12,500

Remembering our ancient friendship,
Even though I greeted him coldly,
Again he offered them peace on the terms

483
00:46:12,500 --> 00:46:15,300

Which they rejected before
Yes, they are unlikely to accept it now.

484
00:46:15,300 --> 00:46:18,000

To console the old man (he thought,
Which can achieve a lot)

485
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,000

I made only the most insignificant concessions.

486
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,000

From now on I don’t want to see the envoys of Rome,
Heed the pleas of friends.

487
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,000

Father!

488
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,000

What's that noise?

489
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:41,000

Are they trying to persuade me again?
I want to break my oath
The moment you brought it? Well no!

490
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,500

My wife is coming!

491
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:54,500

Following her, leading with her little grandson, -
The one that served as a noble form
To mold this flesh.

492
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:06,000
<font color="ffff00">
Away, love!
May the bonds of nature's rights be dissolved!

493
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,000

Let it be my virtue
Relentless!

494
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:24,000

Yes, but how lovely
The eyes and body of my dove! Gods,
And you would despise the oath for their sake!

495
00:47:28,500 --> 00:47:33,000

I'm touched. Like all other people
I am not made of stone.

496
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:43,000

My mother bowed before me,
as if Olympus must bend before a molehill.

497
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:48,000

And my boy looks with such a prayer,
What the omnipotent nature shouts to me:
"Oh, have pity!"

498
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,000

No, let the Volscians plow Rome
And they will harrow the entire Italian region, -

499
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:06,000

I will not submit, like a chick, to attraction,
But I will remain firm, as if I myself
I was my own creator, without knowing my kinship.

500
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,000

- My husband and master...
- My eyes are now not the same as in Rome.

501
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,000

You say so because grief
It changed us.

502
00:48:22,500 --> 00:48:31,000
<font color="ffff00">
Like a bad actor
I lost my role, to my shame.

503
00:48:34,300 --> 00:48:42,000

Oh my better half,
Forgive my cruelty, but don't demand
So that I forgive the Romans.

504
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:05,000

Your kiss
Like vengeance, sweet, like exile, long!

505
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,000

I swear to heaven by the jealous queen,

506
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:15,000

My lips are your farewell kiss
Always kept clean.

507
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:26,000

Oh gods, I forgot to bow down while chatting
Before the noblest of mothers!

508
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:37,000

On your knees, fall to the dust
I pressed the trace of respect so deeply,
Like none of the sons.

509
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:48,000

Oh arise and be blessed. Not on pillows -
On the stones I will bow my knees before you,

510
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:55,000

to honor you so much,
How by mistake children have hitherto revered their mothers.

511
00:49:55,300 --> 00:50:02,000

What? On your knees
Did you stand up in front of your son, who was so punished?

512
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,000

Then let the stones jump to the stars
Barren coasts;

513
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:14,000

let it whip
The defiant wind blows through the branches of proud cedars
By the fiery sun.

514
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:18,000

Anything is possible
Once the impossible has come true.

515
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:22,000

My warrior, you were created by me.

516
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,500

Do you recognize her?

517
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,500

Worthy sister of Publicola,

518
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:50,000

O Roman moon!
Strict, like a piece of ice that has been frozen by frost
From the immaculate snow, hanging

519
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:54,000

To the Temple of Diana... Dear Valeria!

520
00:50:54,000 --> 00:51:01,300

And here is your small likeness,
Which over the years can become
Just like you.

521
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:17,400

May the god of war, in harmony with Jupiter,
He will give you generosity,

522
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:22,000

To become invulnerable to shame

523
00:51:23,500 --> 00:51:30,000

And a great beacon in war
You stood tall in every storm,
Saving those who look up to you.

524
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,000

Well, on your knees!

525
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,700

My nice boy!

526
00:51:42,700 --> 00:51:48,000
<font color="ffff00">
Your wife is equal to him, then
Valeria and I myself, we are all intercessors before you.

527
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:53,000

Shut up! Or before asking, remember one thing:

528
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:57,000

I will not give up what I swore.

529
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:02,600

Don't ask me to disband
I am my warriors or an agreement
He made a deal with the artisans of Rome.

530
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:12,000

Don't say I'm inhuman.
And with the voice of cold reason
Don’t try to curb my enmity and anger.

531
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:17,000
<font color="ffff00">
Enough, oh enough!
You said that you would not yield to us in anything!

532
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,000

And all we wanted to ask was
What have you already refused?

533
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:27,000

But let's ask anyway
So that, in case of your refusal,

534
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:33,000

It fell like a heavy stain on you
Your cruelty; listen to me.

535
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:39,000

Aufidius, Volscians, come closer,
So that I don’t listen alone without you
Nothing from Rome.

536
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,000

What is your request?

537
00:52:44,500 --> 00:52:48,000
<font color="ffff00">
And without speeches -

538
00:52:48,500 --> 00:52:57,000

by appearance and dress
You can guess how we lived
Since you left us in exile.

539
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:08,000

Think for yourself, have you ever met
There are more unhappy women in the world,
What are we, who came here to you!

540
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:19,000

Your look, which should have caused
We all have streams of happy tears,
Make hearts beat joyfully, -

541
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:23,000

It causes horror and sadness in us.

542
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:37,000
<font color="ffff00">
Wife, son and mother - we must see
How do you - husband, father and son - torment
Fatherland heart.

543
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,000

And for us, the unfortunate ones,
Your enmity is especially bitter:

544
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:48,000

You removed us from prayers - joy,
What is available to everyone, but not to us, alas!

545
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:54,000

Is it possible to pray for the fatherland,
As duty dictates,

546
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,000

and for your victory,
As duty dictates?

547
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:05,000

We will lose
Or the dear motherland that nurtured us,
Or you, given by her to console us.

548
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:10,000

Whoever we wish to win,
We still cannot escape trouble;

549
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:19,000

Or like a villain, alien to us, in shackles
You will be led through the streets,

550
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:23,000

Or you will proudly walk through the ruins
Your homeland

551
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:29,000

and you will receive a wreath,
Bravely shedding the blood of his wife and son.

552
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:38,000

As for me, my son, I don't want
Serve fate and wait,
How will the war end?

553
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:43,000

If I can't
To persuade you to reveal

554
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:47,500

Generosity to both sides,
And I wouldn’t look for death alone, -

555
00:54:47,500 --> 00:54:53,300

Trust me, before you go to Rome,
You'll have to step on your foot

556
00:54:53,300 --> 00:54:58,000

On the womb of the mother who gave birth to you.

557
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:03,000

And on mine, what life gave to the baby,
Who will keep your name.

558
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:09,000

If he doesn't step on me, I'll run away;
And when I grow up, I will fight myself.

559
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:16,000

Anyone who doesn't want to become a woman
Shouldn't look at children or women.

560
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,000

- I stayed too long with you.
- No, you won't leave.

561
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:26,000

When would we ask the Romans to spare
To the destruction of the Volscians, whose servant you are now,

562
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,000

You would have the right to reproach us for
That we poison your honor with poison.

563
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:37,000

But we only beg you to reconcile
Hostile nations to the Volscians
They could exclaim: “We have shown mercy!”

564
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,000

And the Romans: “We accepted her!”

565
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:46,000

So that both sides meet you
General greetings: "Be blessed,
You who brought us peace!"

566
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:56,600

My son is great
You know that the outcome of military affairs is doubtful,
But it is true that if you break Rome,

567
00:55:56,600 --> 00:56:05,000

You will deserve one reward - a name,
Which curses will echo

568
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:12,500

And under which the chronicle will write:
"He was great, but all his deeds
The last of them was nullified.

569

00:56:12,500 --> 00:56:18,000
He ruined his homeland, for which he forever
Covered with shame!"

570
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:31,000

Why are you silent?
Is it becoming for those who are noble in heart to remember an insult?

571
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:36,000

No, he is deaf to tears.
Daughter, talk to him.

572
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:42,000

Baby, please.
Your babble, perhaps, is more likely than his,
What will touch our tears?

573
00:56:43,300 --> 00:56:49,500

Who in the world owes more to his mother than he?
And yet he allowed me to come to him
She called out unresponsibly, like a convict.

574
00:56:50,300 --> 00:56:56,500

Oh, you were always unkind to your mother,
He was not inferior to her in anything, even though she
Klokhcha, like a lonely hen,

575
00:56:56,500 --> 00:57:03,000

I lived with you, raised you for battles,
I was waiting for the glory of the campaign
You'll come back...

576
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:09,000

Well, if our request
Unfair, drive me away;
And if you are fair, you are dishonest

577
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:16,000

And you will experience the wrath of the gods in full
For infringing with his refusal
To the mother's right.

578
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:20,500

He turned away!
Everyone on your knees: let's shame him!

579
00:57:20,500 --> 00:57:27,000

After all, he is Coriolanus, and this is the name
Not pity, but akin to pride.
Let's bow...

580
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:40,000

Let us bow before him one last time.

581
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:52,000

Well... let's return to Rome,

582
00:57:52,500 --> 00:57:59,000

to meet death at home among neighbors.
Look at us

583
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:10,000

just look at the baby:
He doesn't know what to ask for, but with us
His little hands are reaching out to you on his knees.

584
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:14,000

And this is a stronger argument than those
With which you reinforce the refusal.

585
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:32,000

Let's go. Enough. This man
Born from a Volsk mother,

586
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:41,000

His wife is probably in Corioli,
And my grandson looks like him by chance.

587
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:53,000

Why don't you drive us away? I'll keep quiet
Until our city is engulfed in flames,
And then I’ll talk.

588
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:39,000
<font color="ffff00">
O mother, what have you done to me!

589
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:59,000

Look, the sky opened up, and the gods laughed
They are looking at an unheard of spectacle.

590
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,000

O my mother!

591
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:22,000

Happy victory
You won for Rome,

592
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:32,000

but know that son...

593
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:40,000

menacing, perhaps deadly
Put me in danger.

594
01:00:43,500 --> 01:00:46,000

Come what may!

595
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:59,000

Aufidius, I will make an honorable peace,
Since I can’t wage a war as it should.

596
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:05,500

Tell me, could you, good Aufidius,
If only you could change places with me,

597
01:01:05,500 --> 01:01:09,500

Stay firm, don't listen to your mother
And she can’t give in? Tell me, Avfidy.

598
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:13,000

- I was also touched.
- I dare to swear that you are telling the truth:

599
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:21,000

After all, my eyes are not so easy
Apply the moisture of compassion, friend.

600
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:30,000

But please advise on what conditions
We give them peace.

601
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,000
<font color="ffff00">
O mother!

602
01:01:43,500 --> 01:01:45,300

Wife!

603
01:01:52,500 --> 01:02:00,000

There is no return to Rome for me.
Take your time! First we'll drink some wine.

604
01:02:12,500 --> 01:02:16,000

For this feat
They should build a temple for you.

605
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:25,000

Without you the swords of all Italian states
They wouldn't force us into such a world.

606
01:02:38,500 --> 01:02:41,000

Farewell!

607
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,000

Goodbye.

608
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:31,000

Please advise on what conditions
We give them peace.

609
01:03:31,500 --> 01:03:38,000

Here we need to act together with the people.
Tell the senators what happened.

610
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:43,000

I will confirm before them and the people,
that it's true.

611
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:46,000

- This traitor...
- What? Am I a traitor?

612
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,500

- Yes, Marcius, you are a traitor.
- Marcius?

613
01:03:48,500 --> 01:03:51,000

And who are you, Caius Marcius?

614
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:57,000

Did you really think that I would decorate you?
An honorary nickname for Coriolanus,
Stolen by you in Corioli?

615
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:04,000

You came to my house as an exile
And he put a knife on my throat.

616
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:11,000

I accepted you, shared power with you,
I supported you in everything,

617
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:19,000

Let me choose the best of my fighters
To fulfill your plans.

618
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:23,000

Until I realized who I am for you -
Not a comrade, but a servant, a mercenary.

619
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:30,500

Sorry for previous misdeeds
It's not difficult for you

620
01:04:30,500 --> 01:04:36,000

but to end where we started, to lose
The fruits of a hard campaign,

621
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:43,000

leave us only our expenses as a reward,
To make peace with an enemy who is ready to surrender -
This can no longer be justified!

622
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:51,000

Wolski, your business
He betrayed treacherously; gave it to his wife
And to your mother your city Rome -

623
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,600

yes, yours! - for a drop of salty tears.

624
01:04:55,000 --> 01:05:00,000

For a drop of women's tears, like cheap lies,
He sold the labors and blood of the great campaign,

625
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:05,000

What amazed their husbands and put them to shame
Youths without mustaches.

626
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,700

- Do you hear, Mars?
- Should you call on him, tear-stained boy!

627
01:05:08,700 --> 01:05:10,100

- What?
- Enough!

628
01:05:10,100 --> 01:05:18,000

O unparalleled liar! You made me angry
My heart is filled beyond measure!
"Boy"! Oh, you slave!

629
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:40,000

Chop me into pieces, Volscians.
Young men and men, wash your swords in my blood!

630
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:45,500

"Boy"! Oh, you lying dog!
When your chronicles are true,

631
01:05:45,500 --> 01:05:52,000

Then you will find there that it is me,
I am like an eagle flying into a dovecote,
He drove your squads into Korioli.

632
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:55,000

Alone! "Boy"!

633
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:02,000

My anger has passed, and I am overwhelmed with grief.
Let him die.

634
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:18,000

My fault. I raised it myself.
I vouched for him with my honor.

635
01:06:19,500 --> 01:06:28,000

And long-suffering fools
Throats are being forced in honor of
Who killed their sons.

636
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,000

Pick it up.

637
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:15,000

Stop, stop!

638
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:30,000
<font color="ffff00">
Even though he filled our city with widows
And we lost many children
Although their tears have not dried up yet,

639
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:39,000

We must honor the glorious memory.
Take the body!

640
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:35,000
