1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,676
When the day comes when it is
decided that the Crown Jewels

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,799
will be exhibited, then all
seven key holders have to meet.

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,633
Well, one after the other
unlock it, the doors open,

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,440
they go upstairs
into the Coronation Chamber and,

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,629
in the safe is the placed Crown
and other relics.

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,759
Even the safe has to be opened
and it also has seven locks,

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,630
thus, the ritual carries on,
they each open the safe...

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,871
-Who?
-Those seven people again,

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,554
well: the archbishop,
the President,

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,599
Mayor of Prague, Prime Minister,

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,797
Leader of Parliament,
Chair of the Senate

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,795
and the curate
from the Holy Vitus Chapter.

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:48,874
And do you know
who it was this year?

14
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,599
Well everyone knows
their political leaders.

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:05,599
Charles IV. bought the Crown's
most precious element - a relic.

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,593
Thorn from the crown
of Jesus Christ.

17
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,673
On his visit to France he got
the thorn from the French King

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,549
and placed it there in
the middle of the sapphire cross,

19
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,838
it was or still is hollow
and there went the thorn.

20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,518
When you look on the top of the
cross, there in small writing.

21
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,798
A Latin inscription -
"Here is a thorn from His crown".

22
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,832
The precious thing he managed
to acquire for our Royal Crown.

23
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,633
And we can say that you see it
today as did Charles IV.

24
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,474
This Crown was
the Coronation Crown.

25
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,669
Every ruler had borrow it from
Saint Wenceslas for a coronation.

26
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,720
For it he had to pay two hundred
pounds of silver and, then,

27
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,794
after the coronation ceremony
had to return it to Stwenceslas.

28
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,513
Whenever a ruler acted as a King
then he had his own Crown.

29
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,752
This one was solely
for coronations, you understand?

30
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,833
To Prague it came at the end of
the sixties of the last century

31
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,592
for the proposed coronation of
Franz Joseph, unfortunately

32
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,550
it did not take place and therefore
it has stayed in Prague...

33
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,519
What happened happened...

34
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,634
First, in these lands there was
the restoration of capitalism.

35
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,872
Please, come here...

36
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,589
Why do the heels
of the Castle Guard click?

37
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,717
Have you something
on your shoes?

38
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,714
-There is a kind of metal...
-Show it to us.

39
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:45,592
If it was capitalism
like 150 years ago,

40
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:48,799
then I would shrug my shoulders

41
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,429
as I'd say there is time enough
in two or three generations

42
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,470
people will learn and so on.
But time flies something rotten.

43
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:03,634
One badly walks with it...
When ifs wet it's slippery.

44
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,714
BOHEMIA DOCTA or
LABYRINTH of the WORLD

45
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,794
and HEARTS' PARADISE
{DIVINE COMEDY}

46
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,714
Boot-metal raises the stamping.
Changing the Guard must be heard.

47
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:25,593
According to tradition all
meet up, open the door and go in.

48
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,469
But, that Crown is, you know,
still in the cupboard,

49
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:33,713
there are the identical locks
with those on the door,

50
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,791
they are again opened
with those keys,

51
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,678
and there is then the case
and inside the Crown.

52
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,596
In fact, that Crown is always
kept in that leather case.

53
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,830
Nobody else is allowed
to be right at that ritual.

54
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,916
-What ritual?
-The opening of the doors.

55
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,759
Action!

56
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,918
<i>Al} of your life
you will open up your thighs</i>

57
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,798
<i>in order to fit
in the wondrous mandarine,</i>

58
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,670
<i>you'll sew your dress
out of futility and guilt</i>

59
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,795
<i>in search of that
wondrous mandarine.</i>

60
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,640
<i>And in your head a rush of blood
and in the eyes shadow of night</i>

61
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,514
<i>yearning for the arrival
of that wondrous mandarine.</i>

62
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,509
<i>Many times you'll wish
to turn the gas on</i>

63
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,430
<i>because again
there's no wondrous mandarine.</i>

64
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,595
<i>Until exhausted
at forty you'll be a gonner,</i>

65
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,429
<i>and know that life
is just Gods absurd flow.</i>

66
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,754
Capitalism today,
in which we are confronted,

67
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,758
isn't the capitalism
of Marx's age.

68
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,796
Karlétejn Castle -

69
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,872
smelly champignon from Karlétejn.

70
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,640
The worst of Marx's nightmares
have come to pass.

71
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,512
That the class divisions
of society will cease to exist.

72
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,754
The proletariat,
the ruling class

73
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,674
and the government will be taken
over by a global oligarchy

74
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:13,515
which is what is happening
throughout the nineties...

75
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,717
This doesn't belong here,

76
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,589
have they got it agreed
with someone like, no way,

77
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,758
it doesn't belong here,
put it somewhere else...

78
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:33,471
To the amazement and surprise
of non-Marxist theoreticians

79
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,792
starting with Derrida
and ending with Rorty -

80
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,793
one of the first neo-liberal and
neo-conservative thinkers in '70,

81
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,469
he today writes that ifs all
finished with us because

82
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:53,430
the greatest enemy to freedom
and not only societal freedom

83
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,797
but human freedom,
for the individual,

84
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,519
is new liberalism which showed
itself in the nineties

85
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,877
as the biggest danger
in all of human history.

86
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,549
And in his essay which
was written some 2 years ago...

87
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,749
"| can't any longer appeal much
to you, parents,

88
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,470
you've reached forty, you've
been absorbed by the system,"

89
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,678
turning towards
the Western reader.

90
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,471
In America he began
to threaten them and says:

91
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,473
give your children
only two books to read:

92
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,430
the Gospel and Karl Marx's
'Communist Manifesto'.

93
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,594
90% of people in Czecho
are mushroom-pickers.

94
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,559
It's not like
that anywhere in the world.

95
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:50,550
Rorty advised parents to give
kids such reading material,

96
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,873
then he argues that if those
kids don't get to understand it

97
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,720
they have no chance in the
first half of the 21 st century.

98
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,760
That it is the only self-defence
- to learn it.

99
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,877
Well, and he is not the only one,
in the West most people say it.

100
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,870
All in all
they are non-Marxists, yeah.

101
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:19,516
There is a new demand to begin
to re-read Marx, because

102
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:26,711
Marx analysed it way ahead
that this disaster could happen.

103
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,554
And the rule
of this financial oligarchy.

104
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,714
It's no longer a class, American
journalists counted that

105
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,430
physically it's 40,000 people,

106
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,515
with their relatives way back
it's not more than a million

107
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:45,433
and in the world there are
over six billion people,

108
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,911
but Marx claims that classes
and a class war exist

109
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:53,838
only after the one revolution
which he accepts in history

110
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,796
and that is the introduction
of machine production

111
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,871
which is tied up with the
capitalist mode of production.

112
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,831
Before there weren't
classes according to Marx

113
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:13,433
and, thus, no class
warfare and no revolutions

114
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,595
and says: were getting where
we have no classes and class war.

115
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,833
It's only a characteristic
which is valid

116
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,429
during the period of the
capitalist production process.

117
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:34,869
And when those classes and
the class war are abolished,

118
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:41,476
not by going over to socialism,
that is to a just society,

119
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,429
then an oligarchic government
will be created

120
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:52,916
which will imitate some elements
of social attainments,

121
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:59,636
but in reality it will be, as
J.L0ndon said, the "iron heel".

122
00:09:59,800 --> 00:09:59,936
Marx, of course,
hadn't yet read Jack London.

123
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:03,840
Marx, of course,
hadn't yet read Jack London.

124
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,639
And what we have here today
is comparable only

125
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,555
to the era of the last three
centuries of the Roman Empire

126
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:20,558
when the ratio
of the ruling class sank to 1 %.

127
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:27,877
Those steps which globalisers
in that Brussels HQ,

128
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,672
plan, they are,
all in all, steps

129
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:37,438
which are supposed to ensure
society's stability

130
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,672
on the basis of a drastic
decrease in population.

131
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,630
Sure, nice, sensible and rational
from their point of view but

132
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,713
the question remains in what
form they intend to do it.

133
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,831
It's a terreeble time,
terreeble day

134
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,439
in the Acropolis
at midnight transformed,

135
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,594
we're experiencing a sad day,
the last day

136
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,799
of the first comeback of
the group "The Plastic People".

137
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,756
-Long live Magor!
-Ladies and gentlemen,

138
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,630
on the guitar playing for you
Pepa Karafiat - Joe Carnation -

139
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:23,514
they're going to play tomorrow,
didn't want to tell you -

140
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,632
at the drums sits Honza Brabec,

141
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:37,790
on the saxophone, wilgo Ségo,
plays Vratislay - Viétta,

142
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,471
on the viola Jiff - [Kéba,

143
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:56,836
behind the keyboards sits
Pepe Janiéek namely Pepa

144
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,634
and on the bass-guitar we have
the Leader - Founder of the band

145
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,677
Milan 'Mejia' Hlavsa.

146
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,911
He's like Sabina -
traitor to the nation.

147
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:10,473
The role of Sabina in The
Bartered Bride is unknown to me.

148
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:15,430
It is Karel Sabina and it is
Bond y. They are different,

149
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,752
slightly different roles -
even, so, they are very similar.

150
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:23,719
One could say that Bond y is the
Sabina of the Czech underground.

151
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,636
I mean that he had some ties
to that Secret Police.

152
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:36,798
Diabetes, gentlemen, is the bane
of those with stage-fright.

153
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,637
And on this illustrious day

154
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,794
Ivan Magor Jirous had
the honour to act as compere.

155
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,477
Amen.

156
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:15,674
Architect Max Urban built the
Film Studios Barrandov {1932}.

157
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,754
Tower and both wings was
and remains Phoenix the bird.

158
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,677
When one's twenty

159
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:39,674
one needs with horror to empty,

160
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,594
but those who're forty

161
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,639
need to puke up plenty...

162
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,471
According to great thinkers
we have it, that Phoenix dies

163
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,634
and comes again, when five
hundredth year comes near.

164
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,679
Dante Alighieri: Divine Comedy

165
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,792
When Gods battle...
saviour of the Arts.

166
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,598
-Zbynék Fiéer...
-Egon Bond y.

167
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,880
Alfons Mucha - twenty paintings,
eighteen years of work.

168
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,793
And when he finished, then
no-one was interested in him.

169
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:28,914
Is anyone interested in you?

170
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:35,431
Let me put my teeth back in.
They're keen on me, no fear,

171
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,750
-mainly the young ones.
-You what'?

172
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,559
-The Government fell.
-Got toppled.

173
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:53,432
Those key figures responsible
for the Government's downfall,

174
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,830
which means Pilip, Ruml...

175
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,678
No, Ruml is unimportant,
above all Lux, Havel

176
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,754
and, of course, Pilip who is
enormously ambitious

177
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,829
still supposedly spurred
on by his wife,

178
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,517
and Ruml who is naive

179
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,514
and who is also steered
from behind by his father.

180
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,878
That was the gang. But Ruml, I'd
say, was the last in on the act.

181
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,558
It was agreed between
Pilip and Lux, of course,

182
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,840
and between Lux
and the President.

183
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,831
A Govt. was being put in place
for the following Wednesday

184
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,551
and all was supposed
to have gone very quickly.

185
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,429
Than ks to the fact
that they misjudged Klaus

186
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,673
because Klaus is a fighter
and he didn't just fold.

187
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,470
He complicated the situation
and we got where we are today.

188
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,792
-Here is Aleé, the painter.
-No.

189
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,796
That's my landlord, MrMacek.
Looks like him exactly.

190
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,831
You said that you're making
some statue right now.

191
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,757
Well now, I've finished it
in fact, it's in a cast.

192
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,879
It's working title is "Person
changing into an aeroplane"

193
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,632
and I'm trying to pour it
into indian rubber.

194
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,920
Is the person turning into a
plane in a form of relationship

195
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:21,509
-with what's going on here?
-No, probably not - I think not.

196
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:27,517
Those statues note what is going
on in Bohemia, created in 1990

197
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,672
when they were intoxicated
by the new situation,

198
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,515
we were intoxicated by the fact
that something was happening.

199
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:39,800
But today the work I create is
rather reacting on generalities,

200
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,799
how people are changing,
their position in nature,

201
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,589
how their shape is changing.

202
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,759
I keep reminding myself
more and more

203
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,679
that the human is not
the centre of the Universe.

204
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,839
That the human is only a link in
the chain of a great community

205
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,839
and that the role which it
usurps is too rash.

206
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,838
That is why all those power
struggles seem to me, so, petty

207
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,598
and I try to find in them
mainly some personal courage,

208
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:19,709
equality and lack of deceit.

209
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,670
We are illogically floundering,
like around those graves.

210
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:30,756
I am making a film about
rising from the dead,

211
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:37,516
I am waiting for the people
to rise again from the dead,

212
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:44,552
I want to fill the whole of
Prague and Bohemia with them.

213
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,838
As Zépotocky says,
new fighters will arise...

214
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:53,793
Fyodorov, who was a friend of
Ciolkovski, invented this

215
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,519
and said that everybody, all
of us would go into Outer Space.

216
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:04,471
And now I just cannot imagine
that I would open up some graves

217
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,678
and someone would climb out
with make-up and haunt.

218
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,674
-It would be kind of sweet..
-Lately, I imagine that...

219
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:18,473
-When I am here with you...
-So, I rise like a zombie...

220
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,553
We have already risen, already
not been here, because

221
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,590
all those people who live have
already also risen, you see?

222
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,675
-No. I don't understand this.
-I also don't...

223
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:36,510
Actually I do because
I cannot imagine that someone

224
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:41,629
puts make-up on us in fifty
years time, that we're worth it,

225
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,713
and chases us
around the graveyard.

226
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,795
You lived next door to Mr.Zeman.
When I realised this

227
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:58,432
I understood why you kind of
attack the Social Democrats so.

228
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,831
Not in the same house,
just down the street.

229
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,431
But the fact remains that
we frequented the same pub.

230
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,753
The landlord said to Mr. Zeman
who was putting himself about

231
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,875
and demanded a table
when they were all taken

232
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,870
and he told him:
'Mr.Zeman,' careful,

233
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,517
it doesn't end up like
at the old communist pub.

234
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,560
And think that
it might well end up

235
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,793
like that if this dinosaur
got to lead this nation.

236
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:33,471
I think he is very interesting
but a dinosaur as well.

237
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,837
I perceive him as an interesting
specimen in the context of a ZOO,

238
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,636
but not
as part of the Government.

239
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:47,514
You love Mr.Klaus and fight
for him with all your soul...

240
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,560
It's not a question of love.
I like people

241
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,873
who are clever and intelligent
and committed.

242
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,936
Apart from Klaus,
one who is not popular at all -

243
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:00,631
Apart from Klaus,
one who is not popular at all -

244
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,589
Miroslav Macek. I consider him
to be an intelligent person

245
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,593
who is capable of expressing
himself clearly, and reflect.

246
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,434
I don't like
political bullshit...

247
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,550
-You hate Havel in some way.
-It's not a question of hate.

248
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,475
I simply think that
he has fulfilled his role,

249
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,837
that now he is not completely
sane and that

250
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,713
something that was kept under
the lid has come to the surface

251
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,759
which means that he is behaving
hysterically, unjustly,

252
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:37,438
insolently, sometimes even
immorally and unreasonably.

253
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,479
He loves the taste of power and
likes to show it.

254
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,840
And now imagine that I think
that Kniiék is a great painter.

255
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,552
-And now it seems to me...
-You're probably the only one.

256
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,793
Heck no, I am convinced about it.
And that's one thing.

257
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,593
Another is that you keep saying
such terrible things that,

258
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:04,676
in fact, in a certain sense
they are comical, you get me?

259
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,595
It seems the humour you have
in your statues and paintings,

260
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,474
that that humour remains
even in your comments.

261
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:20,640
So, when I hear it I partly seem
to feel that you eliminate

262
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:26,796
that certain part of absurdity
within your thought

263
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,795
with your pronunciation...

264
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,598
Hm, well I've finished it
in fact. That statue is cast.

265
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,559
The working name is "Person
changing into an aeroplane",

266
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,599
and now I'm trying to cast it
in india-rubber.

267
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:44,596
-Even the intensity you say it.
-I don't think that is quite so.

268
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,515
I consider that seriousness
is dangerous

269
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,672
and seriousness
isn't at all serious.

270
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,673
If seriousness, age,
and wisdom doesn't

271
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,629
contain a grain of craziness,
a grain of humour,

272
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,599
something, which goes against
what a person is saying then

273
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,718
his expression has no validity.

274
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,874
Thus, in my comments there is
always some contradiction, but

275
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,632
the fact that I consider Havel
to be a bad President and

276
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,679
that Zeman in government is
for me unacceptable,

277
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,558
I believe that is deadly serious.

278
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,836
And I am prepared to dig a hole
and swear to it.

279
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,639
Just think that some people
were saying Kniiék for President.

280
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,838
Sure, that's brilliant.

281
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,639
I would make a self-portrait as
a pigmy in order for it to fit

282
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,475
or I'd be there together with
Havel, such a statue I'd create.

283
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,712
Well, when some people say it
then I would mind,

284
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,838
but when you say it
I do not mind because

285
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:49,554
there is always
that geyser of some jollity.

286
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,597
Well, a person mustn't
take himself seriously.

287
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,876
When a person starts to think
of himself seriously,

288
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,512
how super or how stupid
it would be

289
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,479
if I became the President then
I'd consider myself an ass.

290
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,751
One can't talk or think of these
things in all seriousness.

291
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,671
Everything in life is necessary
to take and make something of it.

292
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,751
If it came I suppose
I would take it seriously but

293
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,475
a human being cannot
self-adore oneself ahead of time.

294
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,599
You can't say, I am terribly
sad or terribly happy from it.

295
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,674
No. Shit. I am normal in
relation to it, take the mickey

296
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,480
and even take that seriously
and don't stress to it too much.

297
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,554
It's necessary to understand
life that way and no other.

298
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,592
Do you comprehend?

299
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:37,871
I wanted to say, if you play
Smetana, you'll be kinder...

300
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:44,438
-I like to play Smetana.
-So greedy of that sensitive...

301
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,637
Would you like me to play
Smetana, a little bit...

302
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,916
No, I don't want it, but...

303
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:19,919
You don't want that.

304
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,834
Dear Deputy,
we will pour petrol over it.

305
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,559
Let's move it so,
we do not blow up!

306
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,559
TRY IT WITH ME

307
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,712
-You still want me to play nice.
-Even nicer...

308
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,635
-You're such a romantic,
-I am not a romantic.

309
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,513
I should play nice when
I am such a naughty person.

310
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,798
You are not naughty,
you have soul, but...

311
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:59,439
Look, I am curious
how successful we can be.

312
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,553
It will crack right away when
you let the water run on it.

313
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,551
I think
it is a great difference.

314
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,510
You want Smetana, then, wait if
I don't come up with something...

315
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,711
That's not Smetana.

316
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,517
No, on top of it all -
stuffed with velvet...

317
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,514
-And you don't want Dvofék'?
-Enough.

318
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,637
Forget Smetana.

319
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:58,438
Dear friends, allow me
to greet you personally

320
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,436
and read you a letter which
was written for this occasion

321
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,719
for the guests
of the Café Slavie

322
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,440
by the President
of the Republic.

323
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,752
Dear friends, respected guests,

324
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,879
today's opening of the Café
Slavie, one of the spaces

325
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,912
which also for me, in my life,
played an absolutely vital role,

326
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,676
I discern as a step
towards a renewal

327
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,720
of the natural structuralisation
of Czech spiritual life.

328
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,760
I take it to be as a perhaps
unostentatious but, at its core,

329
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:39,514
a deeply symbolic way to remind
ourselves of today's anniversary.

330
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,877
On an absolutely personal basis
I discern it

331
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,758
also as a small victory
of sense over stupidity.

332
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,550
I dare to say with conceit that
I feel it to be also my success.

333
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,509
I wish you a pleasant evening
and particularly wish all of us

334
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,479
that Slavie again becomes
a crossroads

335
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,874
of Prague and Czech spiritual
cultural and social flow

336
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,798
and not just another meeting-
place for suspicious mafias.

337
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:17,674
It depends on you. If you visit
regularly they won't.

338
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,592
I am looking forward

339
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,798
when my health allows me to sit
at a table by the window

340
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,632
and observe passers-by and
straighten my thoughts.

341
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,837
Yours, Véclav Havel.

342
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,514
I can say it now properly.

343
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,674
Sometimes it happens
that within one a twin is born

344
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,878
and that twin begins to exit
from that person,

345
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:51,640
maybe a feetie, ear or maybe
a nose grows on the back.

346
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,595
To future novices of mechanical
engineering to plant

347
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,549
into our souls and hearts the
seed of revisionism.

348
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:07,477
-This is anti-dogmatic thinking.
-Thank you, that's a compliment.

349
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,760
And I recognised
the anti-dogmatism there,

350
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,512
anti-stalinism I recognised
there and, thereby,

351
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,752
became a Marxist and
an oppositionist straight away.

352
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,670
Hi, Marxist.

353
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,830
He holds full responsibility...

354
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,838
He's some kind
of a split personality

355
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,835
among us a person who is
moreover two...

356
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,432
Such physiological schizophrenia.

357
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,833
When those twins are equal he
won't realise he has one inside.

358
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:58,600
I wanted to say that at the end
of the last film "What to do?"

359
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,436
MLJirous who claims that the
Czech nation cannot be helped

360
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,876
unless it mixes together
in with the Romanies.

361
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,833
It is simply laughable,
but also true.

362
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,593
Because mixing
should not be a steam-roller,

363
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:21,550
people should not be happy
with being the same,

364
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,513
but united by their difference.

365
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:31,675
That all we know we listen
to from within ourselves,

366
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,559
by which we are not listening
to the Ego but

367
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:41,433
listening to something beyond
archetypal subconsciousness,

368
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:47,790
and when it functions then it
makes sense for other people and

369
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,598
something is created
what wasn't here previously.

370
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,675
Whereas everything else, even
if it's from that subconscious,

371
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,936
from some repressed sexuality or
what, then really it's working

372
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:00,791
from some repressed sexuality or
what, then really it's working

373
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,791
only with what's here
a combination of what is here.

374
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,911
Well, ifs in fact waiting like
those Romanies and even

375
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,631
we are waiting for the birth
of a nation and

376
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,590
we both, them and us,
wait for our re-birth.

377
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,798
Their complete nation has
a clearly-defined culture,

378
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,909
we don't have any clear culture
if we compare it.

379
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,632
Well, we do have
a clearly-defined culture...

380
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,598
We have ours nicked
from all over the place,

381
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,559
they have nothing that's stolen,
they've got their original one.

382
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,836
We understand their original
culture but we don't theirs.

383
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,716
Smetana is original,
Comenius is original,

384
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,475
Haéek is original
and 'The Plastic People'...

385
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,796
That's difficult to oppose.

386
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,831
Oh, what anguish and agony,

387
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,878
the constipation
of my gross favourings.

388
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,720
It is like the birth
of a nation, it seems to me.

389
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,549
-What did you mean?
-I wanted...

390
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:35,637
I wanted to tell you that
this meeting is a picture

391
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:42,797
of the disunity and arguments
of all the difficulties

392
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:51,480
and successes we have attained
- nobody has evaluated that yet

393
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:58,549
because the meeting here between
Romanies is traditionally

394
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,679
full of disagreement and
disunity, and that is harmful.

395
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:08,631
Indisputably because it will
do harm in the Romany community.

396
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:15,675
Well, isn't that disunity
built into the Romany mentality,

397
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,435
in that you do not create
institutions and

398
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,639
you are important because
you don't actually form them.

399
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,838
You don't create some sneaky
small family, yeah,

400
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,750
you create a large family which
does not have much sense

401
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,876
and is self-destructive
but it has some sense.

402
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,756
What kind of sense
my dear director.

403
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,673
-Well, I do not know.
-Well, then I will tell you.

404
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,751
You have heard
of those self-managing units,

405
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,517
of all that decentralisation,
you've heard of that trend?

406
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:54,631
W.Europe is going down the road
of decentralisation, self-govt.

407
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,916
Well, but we've already had
2,000 years of some kind

408
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,632
of natural self-government
behind us. There lies the sense.

409
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,714
-Exactly...
-It is encoded in us,

410
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,714
if we take into account that
we are in an industrial society,

411
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,874
simply that society has certain
ties, ifs no longer possible

412
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,592
to lead a nomadic way of life,
steal chickens and shoot rabbits,

413
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,910
then we have
to feed ourselves somehow.

414
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,791
We have to join the institutions
'cos we won't survive...

415
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,829
And find the sources how to
extricate it from that society.

416
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,438
Those chickens and rabbits.

417
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,753
They lived on the land
of the Count from Kounice.

418
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,792
And that one stole horses
and smuggled them across...

419
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,717
I was too small, well,
but I have parents,

420
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,431
mother stole chickens, that
was the life, we travelled...

421
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,830
Here is the Chairman
of the Oles Romanies,

422
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,909
You're delegates
to this conference

423
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:59,430
which should turn some Romany
associations into State entities.

424
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,433
We are Olas Romanies.

425
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,830
They want those horses back
which got taken from them.

426
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,639
Well, they gave us nothing,
took us about seventy horses,

427
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,555
never got anything paid and the
communists took it by force,

428
00:34:13,720 --> 00:34:16,439
you know even the wagons
and caravans...

429
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,557
Didn't give them a penny.

430
00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:22,554
I have put in a claim
but nothing positive so far...

431
00:34:22,720 --> 00:34:26,839
You have the feeling that
you have to move around?

432
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,717
Well, that is the tradition
of the Olas Romanies but

433
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,793
the twentieth century has
changed it a lot.

434
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,474
Our forebears have died but

435
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,553
we young ones
go with the modern age.

436
00:34:41,720 --> 00:34:43,597
But they would want...

437
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:49,870
Those caravans which they took
by force, commies, like...

438
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:55,594
It is a viable way of life
to move from place to place.

439
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,596
It is the best,
an adventurous way of life...

440
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,592
They want to steal
horses again...

441
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:14,510
They forced us
to stop travelling

442
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:19,516
which led the Olas community
to a criminal way of life.

443
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:24,595
Before, the only criminality
the Olas engaged in was

444
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,479
that in a village
a chicken went astray.

445
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,473
Because they were forcibly
accommodated and domiciled

446
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,554
they started to pickpocket and
other criminality followed.

447
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:37,838
Before that they were craftsmen,
horse-handlers and such,

448
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,790
and earned a living differently
than they are doing today.

449
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,472
So, the consequences of the
ending of a nomadic way of life

450
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,631
was great and deeply-felt.

451
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,838
The spokesman of the Olas
Romanies will give you the rest.

452
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,551
Really they would not want
to steal horses any more but

453
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:56,429
back then they stole them
and sold them on...

454
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,631
Throw it away and we have a jar.

455
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:06,911
Well, and I am now,
come dear Deputy - I am...O.K..

456
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:17,910
I have brought this photo,
I talked about it before

457
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:26,598
I can
put the photo inside and...

458
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,713
-And burn it.
-No, I won't set light to it.

459
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,750
-I don't get it.
-I have Comenius done like this.

460
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,751
What are you dissolving?
I simply do not...

461
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,514
Just look at it, what it
has done, the water destroys it.

462
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,832
-Castle at Velké Mezifiéi.
-The water destroys it.

463
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:54,634
I'll go nuts. I won't manage
to even do it as I wanted.

464
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,796
I am totally at a loss.

465
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,676
Karel, come and have a look...

466
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,753
Shaggy Mane.

467
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,509
You are the father of Semtex.
They say.

468
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,913
Well, it's not quite like that,
father of Semtex.

469
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:38,509
It's a murderous thing,
terrorists bring planes down...

470
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,877
That's what the media thinks,
journalists

471
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:47,760
who simply like to do
such a media story.

472
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:53,552
By the way, Semtex, in fact,
that it is called Semtex

473
00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:58,794
is that it was meant
for industrial purposes...

474
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,750
Come, let's sit down.

475
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,754
Semtex does not even have to be
an explosive at all,

476
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,752
that's a marking for explosives,
under water,

477
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:21,791
for breaking-up of
large boulders in quarries.

478
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,832
And the govt. came to realise
that it could be sent to Libya,

479
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,676
so, it gave it over
to those terrorists.

480
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,799
Not exactly...

481
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,875
Plastic explosive
under the name of SEMTEX

482
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,716
was introduced in 1963 or,

483
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:44,477
rather, definitely with
that name in 1965.

484
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:50,591
One version of what was
originally a military explosive

485
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,878
was freed for civilian use.

486
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:01,429
Don't read newspapers,
don't have a TV nor a radio.

487
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:08,836
So, I learn about the world with
a two or three week delay

488
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:10,874
when someone tells me something.

489
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:16,435
But non-fiction I,
of course, follow closely.

490
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,752
-You don't want to be informed?
-What use is it'?

491
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,550
But your friends say that
you're an émigré right now.

492
00:39:23,720 --> 00:39:28,476
Ha, ha, an émigré surely not,

493
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,629
they probably got confused
when I said that I am an exile.

494
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,473
And that is...

495
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:40,830
It's that
I've abandoned my flat

496
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:46,549
and moved a block away

497
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:50,679
where a friend left me
an empty flat because

498
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:56,791
the traffic there got so bad
at 51 Nerudova, golden times,

499
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,936
-so you could not work there.
-You intend to go to Serbia.

500
00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:01,553
-So you could not work there.
-You intend to go to Serbia.

501
00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:08,877
I've applied for a visa which I
got, that was about a month ago,

502
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:14,634
then they didn't give them
to individuals or tourists.

503
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:19,431
I dreamt of many thousands
of psychiatrists

504
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:24,436
being sent there
instead of those planes.

505
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,636
Yeah, it wouldn't perhaps need

506
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:32,795
to send thousands
of psychiatrists to that place

507
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:38,759
as twenty psychiatrists would
suffice at NATO Headquarters

508
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,594
and, at least, two psychiatrists
in the White House.

509
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,798
I am extremely pleased
and proud that

510
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:50,873
this is being organised jointly
with the Romany Civic Initiative.

511
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:57,476
If there is an area
where painful, tragic questions

512
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,599
are being asked
in respect of human rights

513
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,914
then it is very much the links
between the white majority

514
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,552
and the, so-called,
Romany minority.

515
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:16,910
And together with them we want
to show that we are serious.

516
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,790
That we wish to achieve
something with them,

517
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:26,510
in a dialogue with them
in respect of human rights.

518
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,470
Those are the kind of first
steps to that globalisation.

519
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:35,669
We see how they bankrupted those
small tigers of South-East Asia.

520
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,559
Financial oligarchy
can do anything.

521
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:42,429
It is because we are such
crazy Czechs, right?

522
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,671
I appreciate that you have
a sense of humour.

523
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:51,633
Are you the creator of Tamara,
a military miracle in E.Europe?

524
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:56,510
Well, it was the only unique
equipment in the military.

525
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,799
And now we are in front
of a sty with a goat,

526
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:06,833
and here will take place the
Second World War, pseudo style,

527
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:12,839
the Third World War will
theoretically follow.

528
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,469
-What is Tamara'?
-It's an instrument

529
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:28,634
to locate an aircraft
and where a radar is in action.

530
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,475
They say that in Kosovo
with the help of Tamara

531
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,474
they brought down that aircraft
invisible to radar.

532
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,673
An invisible aircraft
is invisible to radar

533
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,470
and as far as I know the 127

534
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,793
doesn't send anything which
could be picked up by Tamara.

535
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,592
So, from Tamara's point of view
it is an uncatohable plane.

536
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:57,436
That means that you
did not shoot it down.

537
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:04,472
I think that the 127 wasn't shot
down with the help of Tamara.

538
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:05,876
That is almost certain.

539
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,751
The war will break out here
any moment.

540
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:15,472
I heard that you are working
on a totally new machine,

541
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:20,635
which will scrap Tamara.
Is that true'?

542
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:25,715
Yes, that's exactly right. Not
working on - already worked out.

543
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:31,717
It's equipment which will
interfere with Tamara.

544
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:36,556
All equipment can be interfered
with when it is electronic.

545
00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:39,678
In a stupid brutish way.

546
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,673
Whereas, what I am inventing

547
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,515
will interfere with
Tamara intelligently.

548
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,832
That means that it knows
Tamara's Achilles heel.

549
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:54,716
Of course,
meaning the Pardubice Tamara.

550
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:59,477
These Tamaras
which are all over the world

551
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:05,830
{30 to 40 of them} then they
can be interfered with easily.

552
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,910
And they can be interfered
with in a way

553
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:16,919
that Tamara simply will not even
know that it is being done

554
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,678
and will latch on to a false
target which will not be genuine.

555
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:25,516
-Stupid Tamara.
-It will be fooled.

556
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,879
Over the mine-fields ropes are
stretched with explosives.

557
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,636
Explosive ropes you could say,

558
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:37,470
and then, like, when the ropes
fall on that mine-field

559
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:42,476
or are in some way spread out,

560
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:48,591
then they are blasted,
and simply the mines

561
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:53,709
which are under the ropes or
in their vicinity are set off.

562
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,669
I would like for it to also be
seen, everything. Let's go...

563
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,832
...go off with a bang.

564
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,830
This means that in a certain way
you love explosives?

565
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:08,593
You can't say that
I love explosives.

566
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,713
Everything is coincidence,
like everything in life.

567
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,760
After the war

568
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,756
I entered the Philosophical
Faculty. Not to do chemistry.

569
00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:55,672
I wanted to ask,
your father is a Rector of...

570
00:45:55,840 --> 00:46:00,471
-Used to be.
-...of Charles University.

571
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:06,716
Why doesn't, for example, Petr
Rezek teach at the University?

572
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,594
You should ask him, he I think
taught at the University and,

573
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,594
as far as I know, left.
Of his own accord actually.

574
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:21,915
I see it time and time again,
such brains escape somewhere

575
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:27,873
and other peculiar ones
stay in one place.

576
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,678
I'm not sure what you mean.

577
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:37,836
Well, I am not sure what I mean,
what I am angling at,

578
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,836
I got to know
Petr Rezek recently and

579
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,518
it just seems to me
a great shame.

580
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,514
I will put the question again
to your father.

581
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,639
I consider Petr Rezek
could teach at a university

582
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,871
but why he does not
I suggest that you ask him.

583
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,471
I did not ask him.

584
00:46:58,720 --> 00:47:02,839
In every period of time
there are groups

585
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,599
who are unable to enter the
marketplace with their know-how.

586
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:11,913
And all those coups, be they
revolutions or restorations,

587
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,836
tear it apart, icebergs move and

588
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,676
what is underneath
floats to the surface.

589
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,480
MrBrabenec would likewise
not come out

590
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,439
without this restorative
revolution which we had.

591
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,831
Wood wolly-foot.
Velié Castle.

592
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,791
That was an embarrassing
TV series called Major Zeman

593
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:35,474
with the "Gods whip" song.
It was made to look like us,

594
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:40,476
they kind of tied it up
with some terrorist group

595
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:45,589
which tried
to hijack a plane.

596
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,718
They added into it some drugs

597
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,872
and to spice it up
some dejected theology.

598
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,598
Even the lyrics were written
by those Secret Policemen.

599
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,798
They wrote the lyrics
and the music.

600
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,790
The Secret police
proudly allied itself to it.

601
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:03,555
And Mejia went to the pub...

602
00:48:03,720 --> 00:48:06,439
Mejia took it down the pub
which was being watched

603
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,912
because it was frequented by
Chartists and the underground,

604
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,870
and just to show those pigs
how flexible we were,

605
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,716
we sang their song.

606
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,593
When I was inside at Pankréc
prison there was this kid

607
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,832
who spent his childhood
in institutions

608
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,552
and from kids homes he
fluidly transferred into jails.

609
00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:29,634
When he was little they had
ducks at his grandfathers' yard

610
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:33,634
and he remembered
that those ducks were very long.

611
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,759
He asked, you were at college,
a duck has four legs, right.

612
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,550
The other jail-birds said-you're
crazy, duck has two legs.

613
00:48:41,720 --> 00:48:43,836
And he kept saying - why,
the duck was this long,

614
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,869
how could it stand on two legs,
it must have four.

615
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:52,475
In order to let him keep
at least one nice memory

616
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:56,713
I said: sure, it has one set of
legs in front, more at the back,

617
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,440
otherwise it'd fall over.

618
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,678
Castle Svojanov,
Giant Polypore.

619
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,678
Society will fuse, profit
will go to those who go along

620
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:09,751
with the stabilised powers,

621
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:14,718
then it will tear
all over again,

622
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,510
that is an absolutely
necessary cycle.

623
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,798
That's why only now
we understand

624
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:29,551
why the post-89 political stance
towards the former Eastern block

625
00:49:29,720 --> 00:49:34,794
was such that for five years -
it seemed like childish idiocy -

626
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,711
(according to classical
capitalism) to defeat the enemy,

627
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,475
gain their markets and use them.

628
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,634
Here it has been different -
here the markets are devastated,

629
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,680
purchasing power much reduced,
no investment,

630
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,673
there is no interest
in expanding the market.

631
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,673
Pernétejn - Blue-leg.

632
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,878
But Marx did foresee this.
Unfortunately

633
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:05,794
he wrote that capitalism
can reach such automation

634
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,438
that it will suffice with small
markets, there will be no need

635
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:13,678
to expand further which is
what is happening now.

636
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,593
The only strange thing is that
it is claimed that

637
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:24,440
Tamara aims at the F 127
and it's not emitting anything

638
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,752
which Tamara
could measure or catch.

639
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:34,516
Thus, we are imprisoned by myths
of technician Brebera: Semtex.

640
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,798
If it wasn't for a few Libyans
or I don't know what maniacs

641
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:43,594
it would be a normal explosive
with industrial usage

642
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,792
and that machine of yours,
if you could sum up.

643
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:59,474
It is equipment for military use
which targets

644
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:03,793
or finds out where targets are,
assuming those targets emit.

645
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,829
When they are quiet,

646
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:11,832
in another words
there is no bouncing off

647
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,518
but also nothing being emitted.

648
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:19,560
Tamara is equipment which aims
on the basis of finding out

649
00:51:19,720 --> 00:51:22,872
that some source
is transmitting something.

650
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:28,880
So, it kind of behaves like bats
or flies, that's how it acts.

651
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:30,880
I would put it like this:

652
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:35,479
when some thief comes and wants
to steal during the night

653
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,554
then he'll go and sniff around
during the day,

654
00:51:39,720 --> 00:51:45,716
and in the dark he'll put on
some gear which does not shine.

655
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,757
Walks on tip-toes.

656
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:52,835
Goes quietly the way he's
already sussed during the day...

657
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,756
There's a petrol tank,
you idiot!

658
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:04,760
He'll shine a torch about to
ensure he's in the right place.

659
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:11,519
That's the Stealth. It doesn't
bounce off anything

660
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:14,832
and does not transmit at all
which Tamara could aim at.

661
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,837
And those Stealths
are now in Kosovo.

662
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,671
<i>Pecka Cash-e.
StGeorgés Mushroom.</i>

663
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,480
W. economists two types.

664
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:35,589
Afrioanisation and
Latinoamericanisation.

665
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:41,714
Latinoamericanisation,
exploitation of the type

666
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,872
that some investment
actually happens

667
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,479
because our Latin America lives
on loans for over 200 years

668
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:53,520
forced on it by the United
States in particular,

669
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:58,800
and the interest is more than
a third of the US state budget.

670
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,791
It is the chicken that
lays the golden egg, so,

671
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,710
there is no need
to cut its throat.

672
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:09,589
Then there is Africanisation
where investment brought

673
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,434
little return,
so, the investment was stopped.

674
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,718
They send dried-milk and
aid and such stuff.

675
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,752
I really wanted
one really short fairy-tale.

676
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,550
Somebody was telling it to you,
a Romany fairy-tale.

677
00:53:34,720 --> 00:53:40,477
I can't think of anything.
I am not prepared for it...

678
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:44,520
What about your colleague,
do you know a Romany fairy-tale.

679
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:50,517
Please, if we have to then after
the demonstration, could you...

680
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:27,751
It will provoke tribal wars,
ethnic wars, famines, diseases,

681
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,590
and it'll all kick the bucket
by itself.

682
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:35,709
And them keep saying officially,
so they are being heard, that

683
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,753
we were doing it empirically and
all in all, it's worked out.

684
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:46,472
With E. Europe we won't bother
with Latinoamericanisation,

685
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:50,873
but we will have Africanisation
and we will do it properly there,

686
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:55,718
scientifically and hygienically.
Well, they sure are doing it.

687
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:05,874
All that news
coming out of the keyholes

688
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,592
of those people
what sit in that Brussels.

689
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:14,675
They keep working on it
steadfastly and responsibly but

690
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:20,597
it sure does not look pretty or
favourable. For anybody.

691
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:25,436
Except them. For them sure.
For normal folk probably not.

692
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,713
As I attended the Romany
demonstration there was a bomb.

693
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:34,431
I mean the briefcase
of MrSaid, a lawyer,

694
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:38,594
whose case was stolen,
money taken out of it.

695
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,673
The whole area was
surrounded by the Police and,

696
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:46,676
eventually, opened the briefcase
and returned it to Mr.Said.

697
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,673
Such was the bomb
on Wenceslas Square.

698
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:55,435
Today in the newspaper there was
some geezer carrying a pigs head

699
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,831
who protested on behalf
of Romanies and,

700
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:03,758
thus, highlight
the concentration camps

701
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:10,675
where today stands a pig-farm
and the Romanies sent there.

702
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:16,591
You don't know what you should
shoot nor what you should paint.

703
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:20,640
You can't keep up
with it all from that bloke

704
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,918
with the briefcase which became
a bomb and wasn't a bomb,

705
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:30,476
and the guy with the pig's head
who ran around there yesterday.

706
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:35,760
Who, though, did not get
any support whatsoever

707
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,556
except photographers and TV.

708
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,632
What are you actually doing
when you paint?

709
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:48,830
We all dream to want to paint
those cases, the secret ones.

710
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:54,549
Only few succeed,
that pensioner who passed by

711
00:56:54,720 --> 00:56:57,599
and reported it
that it could be a bomb.

712
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:02,755
Mostly one paints it -
or Boudnik had explosionalism.

713
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:08,435
He thought the painting
should explode.

714
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,479
But it does not interest anyone,
it was very lucky that

715
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,712
the briefcase was noticed
and the person panicked.

716
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:20,432
With the painting no-one
will become that nervous.

717
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:25,754
Maybe the painting should again
become more dangerous.

718
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:31,677
I think that after a film or a
painting something should occur-

719
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:37,472
I always say to myself that
Verdi, Hernani and off we go.

720
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:41,838
In other paintings
something happens and all wrong.

721
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:46,798
I see Picasso's 'Guernica' and
it's all wrong in that picture.

722
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:50,629
For sure, it's, of course,
anti-war, but it's all wrong

723
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,837
because you can't
co-exist with that painting.

724
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,717
Because that painting should
not block one's creativity.

725
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:00,874
What should actually come out
of that painting?

726
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:06,629
If we were to take statistics
from 1990,

727
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:10,680
then we had 28 dead within
federal Czechoslovakia.

728
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,798
From January 1993 up
to the present time

729
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,915
within the Czech republic
there were 18 victims.

730
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:23,715
All were victims of racially
motivated skinheads.

731
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,633
We are upset that

732
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,839
these victims were treated by
the Government with indifference.

733
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:35,553
The Government was silent and
did not offer any solidarity

734
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,600
as it did in the case of the
last death of a Sudanese student.

735
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:45,910
We feel damaged in that, may be,
there were needless deaths

736
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,518
because the Government
failed to fulfil its duty

737
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,752
as the keeper of the peace,
keeper of security.

738
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,592
They are incapable
to imprison even those who kill,

739
00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:03,632
they're incapable of sentencing
killers of the 50's and the 70's,

740
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,679
that's a terrible slapstick.

741
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:11,789
That is your view, I think that
partly it is also an intention.

742
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:18,590
Because from statistics from the
last elections from June 1996

743
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:21,673
30% of professional soldiers
and policemen

744
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:25,435
voted the far-right
Republican Party.

745
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:29,912
These 30% are
supporters of skinheads

746
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,678
and if they get any complaint
from Romanies

747
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:38,590
regarding their security then
they will not want to respond.

748
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:43,516
Not that they can't -
they won't.

749
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:51,635
The water is destroying it.
I thought that it won't.

750
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:55,794
I have to dry it
and put it into the jar.

751
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,599
I also placed Comenius there.
I'll do it later.

752
00:59:59,760 --> 00:59:59,936
Why did you put Comenius
into the jar'?

753
00:59:59,960 --> 01:00:01,678
Why did you put Comenius
into the jar'?

754
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:06,755
Because the shape of the jar
dissolves the seriousness

755
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:11,471
-of Comenius' face...
-Navarov. Cow boletus.

756
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,553
...one of the most
horrific experiences.

757
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,633
You know, when those racists
laid into you.

758
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:19,711
I don't know whether
they were racists.

759
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:24,436
-You cannot accuse like that.
-But one can guess.

760
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:29,872
Back then
defended Romanies,

761
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:34,798
you weren't very tolerant
of the extreme Republicans...

762
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:40,680
You understand,
I see those consequences from it.

763
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:46,791
And because I am terrified of
those ends, let me go back a bit.

764
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:49,869
Comenius with all that
seriousness on his face,

765
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:54,718
so I put him into that bulb
and he got much nicer.

766
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:58,669
-He is a little comical there.
-Because he is little askew'?

767
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:00,797
Yes, it would be
a little comical,

768
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,711
one doesn't have such
fatal anxieties from him.

769
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:08,874
He ran across that red
glade to a foreign country,

770
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:13,758
here a person weaves away
from some beasties, you know,

771
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,798
and comes out scarred and
all that has to be dissolved,

772
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,671
unforgotten, forgotten.

773
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:25,879
-Brain Fungus.
-Forget, not forgetting.

774
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:30,434
I understand, I am beginning
to understand you,

775
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:35,879
you want to like humanise
this photo of Julius Fuéik.

776
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:41,755
By putting it into a bulb. Yes?
Well, that's O.K.

777
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,796
I don't have any objection
if I look a little comical...

778
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:48,670
I have this problem.

779
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,912
They cut you up
something awful in the face.

780
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,915
Today it is gone. Because
plastic surgery is something.

781
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:59,474
In fact, if I made a film
where somebody attacked you,

782
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,792
I would get a group who
attack some actor

783
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,717
in order to play the whole lot,
I simply can't, I would throw up.

784
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:15,600
One could say that, at the time,
it was really super, world class.

785
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:25,480
If, then, we consider that the
American explosive C4,

786
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:30,879
which also can be seen in
American action films,

787
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:39,560
which they began making in '55.

788
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:46,633
The content was probably
finished in '52

789
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,752
and in bigger numbers they
started to produce it in 55,

790
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:54,718
-around the same time as us.
-Look at this again...

791
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:59,434
Strictly speaking,
in an explosive sense,

792
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,479
from the point
of view of its power of

793
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:10,830
effectiveness,
the American C4 was that

794
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:16,549
little bit better than SEMTEX.

795
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:21,669
Sound-man, still running. If one
kills someone during a war

796
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,719
I don't understand that
they don't eat them.

797
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:30,557
He should eat him.

798
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:37,478
There would be too much,
that food. I am joking - not on.

799
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:46,510
Where would we set those unknown
soldiers for memorials.

800
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:50,674
But you produce explosives
which pulverise the human body.

801
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,434
You can't eat it then.

802
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:59,710
But the greater killing is
from ordinary armaments,

803
01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:04,829
it can be from
a machine-gun or anything else.

804
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:10,759
It remains important for me that
you haven't caused any deaths,

805
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:15,835
you didn't say
go and blast someone.

806
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:21,589
Most of the technicians
in this field today

807
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:27,597
also never caused someone's
death. It's for the Army,

808
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:33,676
<i>as</i> you pass it over to the Army,
they do <i>as</i> they see fit.

809
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:36,639
But the Czech Army has always
functioned on the basis that

810
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,759
soldiers run abroad and then
they come back with someone else.

811
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:43,556
With the Swedes they came back,

812
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:47,554
with Russians,
with Americans they came,

813
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:51,833
with Italians, with the French
during the First World war...

814
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,875
Although, talking
of the Second World War

815
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:59,440
there was a certain resistance
here, even armed resistance.

816
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:03,833
New ideas for war came about
here in the Czech lands.

817
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,632
DON'T THROW FAG-ENDS INTO
THE PISS-POTS

818
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,519
WE DON'T PEE INTO YOUR
ASHTRAYS AT HOME

819
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:18,680
Pre-war Czecho was the 2nd
largest exporter of arms.

820
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:23,713
You're a brilliant inventor
and I keep thinking that

821
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:27,430
you would never say
to someone - go and kill.

822
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:32,720
No, that was never the intention,
it is nonsense to think this.

823
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:40,435
...say to someone - go and kill.

824
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:45,600
Even if there is work on
a variety of weapon systems,

825
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:53,599
there is enormous teamwork.

826
01:05:53,760 --> 01:06:01,760
The researcher or the technician
works on a pan in a given area.

827
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:09,590
And the plastic explosive
is the finished product.

828
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:13,515
DON'T THROW FAG-ENDS INTO
THE PISS-POTS

829
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:15,910
WE DON'T PEE INTO YOUR
ASHTRAYS AT HOME

830
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,637
Nobody has to use it
against somebody else.

831
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,918
Those explosives which are
designated for peaceful purposes

832
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:27,439
they can be also used against
someone.

833
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:35,518
In the world there is a white
side as well as a black side,

834
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:40,516
and one says to oneself that
for those creative people

835
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:44,799
whether their works arise
out of the white or black side

836
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:50,435
they can be used
in a beautiful way.

837
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:55,793
Beautiful,
what do you call beautiful...

838
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:02,759
Even if we go back in time,

839
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:09,869
Nobel did not discover
nitro-glycerine.

840
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:14,554
The first time an Italian
Sovrero synthesised it

841
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,712
some twenty years before Nobel.

842
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:20,872
Nobel really introduced
the production of nitro-glycerine.

843
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:26,470
-Giant Polypore.
-I can't demand from people

844
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:30,838
to do horrible things even if it
was staged like in a theatre.

845
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,796
What I cope with is a puppet.
That little head.

846
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:38,798
Because you can always
see the pulleys,

847
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:42,637
or I will hold the head like
this, you can see the pulleys,

848
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:44,871
that fate,
that someone is leading it,

849
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,638
I really wait-for what is more
miraculous than her story,

850
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:54,591
than that idiotic fate. I wait
for what is more miraculous

851
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:58,549
than some idiot
who throws himself at a person.

852
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:00,711
Why mention it when
I have to remind myself:

853
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,554
yes, there is fate,
there are these gross events

854
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:06,792
for the world to work because
it is formed in this stupid way.

855
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:11,553
On the other hand, human
abilities surmount that fate,

856
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:16,715
which means doing things out of
synch of all those stupidities,

857
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:18,871
those massacres,
those beating of heads.

858
01:08:19,440 --> 01:08:21,556
Shield Mushroom.

859
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:25,429
Getting back to Romanies.
You sit on some Commission.

860
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:27,511
Now I thought you were going
to ask me if I am a Romany.

861
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:31,674
-Castle Sobivec.
-What was fascinating was that

862
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:35,754
some of the most valued newsmen,
when they interviewed me,

863
01:08:36,440 --> 01:08:41,435
they stopped recording and said:
please-off the record.

864
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,433
Is it true
that you are a Romany'?

865
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,752
You know, if I was a Romany
I would not be ashamed of it

866
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,594
but as I am not a Romany
why should I say that I am.

867
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:10,556
Occasionally I go and lecture at
the Dept of Explosives...

868
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:14,509
-Where'?
-In Pardubice.

869
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:20,551
What we are doing here

870
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:24,600
makes absolutely no sense...

871
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:31,436
All I could say is that they
are playing at soldiers here.

872
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:35,753
We are playing at soldiers.

873
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:42,713
On 1 May
I cried as a nine-year old

874
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:47,918
as I could not go on the parade
'cos dad gave me a sick-note:

875
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:53,794
Léda Ptééek cannot
join in on 1 May

876
01:09:54,480 --> 01:09:57,518
as he has to help pull the
manure can and plant potatoes.

877
01:09:57,680 --> 01:09:59,936
I make up for it today 'cos
I planted the potatoes early.

878
01:09:59,960 --> 01:10:01,633
I make up for it today 'cos
I planted the potatoes early.

879
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:05,430
Let me speak to these men.

880
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:10,834
You do what you like, sir -
but this is my place.

881
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:15,634
We'll move aside...

882
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:21,433
-You did not know each other...
-No.

883
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:24,877
I used to know many people
from his village, yeah...

884
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:31,829
You knew the first Managing
Director, that Miroslav Slezék.

885
01:10:32,480 --> 01:10:35,438
-I knew Slezék.
-After him came Hlouéek.

886
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:37,796
You didn't know him,
he was a working-class Director.

887
01:10:38,440 --> 01:10:42,832
Well no, I knew one, he was
there only a mo', from Prague,

888
01:10:43,480 --> 01:10:46,836
that was sometime in 60's, 65.

889
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:51,514
I wasn't there any more,
they kicked me out in 58.

890
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:56,550
-When did they throw you out?
-Didn't throw me out per se

891
01:10:56,720 --> 01:11:01,556
after 68. Definitely,
at the beginning of 70.

892
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:05,918
Thanks to that working-class
Director I got ousted because

893
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:10,713
I objected that the Director
should be in some way an expert.

894
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:17,719
I was expelled from the Party as
I didn't agree with the invasion.

895
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:19,791
I never joined the Party.

896
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:27,436
I'll tell you some idiocies.
I am doing cinema

897
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:33,755
about people rising
from the dead and

898
01:11:34,440 --> 01:11:39,719
that Michal Fyodorovic Fyodorov
wants all to rise and

899
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:42,918
thinks they will all come out.
And that they will be here and,

900
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:47,838
so, many of them that there
won't be enough space here.

901
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:52,878
When they all don't fit they'll
disperse all over the galaxy.

902
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:56,592
It would do if the majority of
the live ones would crawl away

903
01:11:56,760 --> 01:12:00,799
rather than import
post-human souls of those dead.

904
01:12:01,480 --> 01:12:02,834
You nihilist!

905
01:12:05,440 --> 01:12:08,478
Probably it was not relevant.

906
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:11,712
Some live ones I'd substitute
with more dead ones.

907
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:15,839
If one was able to regulate it.
But the ratio would be upset.

908
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:19,911
But the truth is that a person,
when alive,

909
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:24,474
then mostly communicates
with those dead ones.

910
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:29,589
Those few who make sense you can
count on your fingers.

911
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:32,479
So, in fact all the time
we talk with the dead.

912
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:35,871
I listen to Chopin, listen
to Dvolék - they're all deceased,

913
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:40,793
I read those who've passed on,
I communicate with them.

914
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:45,479
-And who're you?
-Nearly deceased.

915
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:48,792
-I am Karel Vachek.
-I know. I am Vratislav Erbr.

916
01:12:49,480 --> 01:12:53,599
Pleased to meet you.
I am glad I see you, so, alive

917
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:57,754
even if it's all about dead ones.
Isn't it an illusion?

918
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:00,753
Ti me fl ies,
even for the live ones.

919
01:13:01,440 --> 01:13:03,511
The dead ones are eternal.

920
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:06,911
I really like the idea that they
would all be here you know.

921
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:09,870
Well,
in their way they are here.

922
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:14,554
-They are not here physically.
-Truly, they don't stink us out!

923
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:17,513
I am Karel Vaohek, who are you?

924
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:19,751
Michal Wernisch
alias Evald Murer.

925
01:13:20,440 --> 01:13:24,638
The one who Petr Krél
wrote me about

926
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:27,679
-he said you're a poet.
-That's possible

927
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:31,629
it Krél wrote it..
He rust know, for sure.

928
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:35,680
-And what's that?
-That is our daughter Rozarka.

929
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:37,877
She is the grand-daughter
of the poet Ivan Wernisch

930
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:41,439
and daughter of Evald Murer
which is interesting.

931
01:13:43,480 --> 01:13:47,439
-Doesn't work.
Everything is possible.

932
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:51,674
Mr.K. I wanted to ask what does
the poet Divié mean to you.

933
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,672
It's on a different plane.

934
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:02,470
I don't read it,
don't understand it.

935
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:05,712
It has certain power,
great value but...

936
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:08,440
And is there anybody...

937
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:13,433
ls there anybody
who you would read?

938
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,871
It'll be those deceased. Rather
than one of those living ones.

939
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:22,679
Only the dead ones. You wouldn't
read the ones that are alive.

940
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:26,515
You pushed them under my nose,
I didn't start talking about them.

941
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:32,516
Some verses
of those live ones I like.

942
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:38,710
But that I would enthuse about
one of the present ones,

943
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:40,757
that I can't say.

944
01:14:41,440 --> 01:14:45,513
I read Stankovié
or read your things.

945
01:14:47,440 --> 01:14:53,470
Some say I should read Mr.Marx,
there is something here...

946
01:14:56,680 --> 01:15:00,913
Excuse me,
is there a poet you respect?

947
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:03,631
Here? No!

948
01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:09,674
When I want to read something
which really entertains me

949
01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:15,635
I rather read someone
who is not here any more.

950
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:18,633
Because I know them
and I return to them.

951
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:23,670
With my wife Helena
I chat very often.

952
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:29,518
You're over eighty.
Do you know what that means?

953
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:34,470
I was born in 1913 and there
is nothing you can do about it.

954
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,790
Let's have a drink.

955
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:40,631
That's good wine.

956
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:50,593
But you see, now you've got me,
keep an eye on it.

957
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:56,870
Well, sod me - as they say.
With those years, I mean.

958
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:01,913
I thought something
like seventy six.

959
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:06,793
There's that Fajkus, from Brno.

960
01:16:07,440 --> 01:16:09,909
I think he lives
in Dillinger street number 1.

961
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,916
Terribly young
and he is a real poet.

962
01:16:15,440 --> 01:16:17,431
There he is.

963
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:21,434
Why don't you hold a glass
when they're photographing you.

964
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:26,679
There's that Fajkus,
that beautiful boy.

965
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:29,877
That's him.

966
01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:33,434
That's a new poet.

967
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:37,753
Robert. That's him.

968
01:16:38,440 --> 01:16:41,592
You know, he told us
about Dillinger street.

969
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:45,791
-Who was it?
-Some painter supposedly.

970
01:16:46,480 --> 01:16:48,756
You're an idiot.
I wrote you a long letter.

971
01:16:49,440 --> 01:16:52,558
-You said it was some gangster.
-He was a multiple murderer

972
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:57,430
and when I was ten
the news was all around Prague.

973
01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:01,639
John Dillinger. Terrible name
for a terrible person.

974
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:07,478
Like Al Capone.
But Al Capone had alcohol.

975
01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:14,512
Shot them all,
got 3 times 99 years

976
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:18,594
in a jail called Alcatraz.

977
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:22,712
That street was named
during the totalitarian era,

978
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:26,555
so, probably it was no gangster,
it had to be some painter,

979
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:30,475
may be gangster too.

980
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:37,558
But I want those dead ones
to stay alive.

981
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:41,918
-Are you making fun of me?
-No way, I would not dare.

982
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:46,633
I simply think that all those
who were here should return,

983
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:50,680
so, everyone would be here
together. For a moment, now.

984
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:55,599
That's acceptable.

985
01:17:55,760 --> 01:18:03,760
There is a particular theory
by M.F.Fyodorov,

986
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:07,553
a Russian philosopher
from the nineteenth century.

987
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:12,556
For him, they all rise from
the dead and remain on Earth,

988
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:17,749
and because there is not enough
space they disperse into space.

989
01:18:18,440 --> 01:18:21,831
He claims that all
beings who were here

990
01:18:22,480 --> 01:18:25,871
should return.

991
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:30,713
But you never have such ideas?

992
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:33,520
—Why fiot?

993
01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:40,791
What why not, I just DON'T.
Rising from the dead is nonsense.

994
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:46,718
There does not exist
an eschatological sanction

995
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:50,752
which means
no nether world exists.

996
01:18:51,440 --> 01:18:54,432
If there is no nether world,

997
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:58,798
as an eschatological sanction,
and put religiously catholically,

998
01:18:59,440 --> 01:19:02,478
then there can be
no rising from the dead.

999
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:10,432
And if it was like that it would
have be totally nonsensical.

1000
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:21,836
I could meet Dante,
Dante In Corpore.

1001
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:26,554
You can't because he's been dead
for 650 years.

1002
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:30,509
I want it,
I want to see it just once.

1003
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:35,516
-Well, there's something in that.
-You know, I always think that

1004
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:39,435
it must have remained somewhere
in plaster just like on an LP.

1005
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:42,752
It is true...

1006
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:51,915
It can be accepted
that when you die, physically,

1007
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:59,796
that there will remain
or evaporate

1008
01:20:00,480 --> 01:20:02,835
three hundred million atoms.

1009
01:20:04,480 --> 01:20:06,915
According to Law
of energy preservation

1010
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:11,793
those three billion atoms
are undoubtedly indestructible,

1011
01:20:12,440 --> 01:20:17,753
circling somewhere,
whereby in my room

1012
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:23,674
there are hundred thousand
Cleopatra's molecules.

1013
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:27,750
But I say bugger to that!

1014
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:33,595
Because I would like to screw
Cleopatra physically in bed,

1015
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:35,751
and I can't.

1016
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:38,876
I would want to screw her

1017
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:46,792
if she really was as alluring
as Julius Caesar imagined.

1018
01:20:47,440 --> 01:20:53,755
Or I would wish - forlorn hopes.
For Dostoyevsky to walk in.

1019
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:58,559
With whom I would discuss
a religious problem.

1020
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:02,554
But he will not enter. Never.

1021
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:19,834
The consecrated grave
from which You gloriously arose.

1022
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:23,717
And through You are also holy
the graves of all believers

1023
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:27,555
for they died with You
and will arise with You.

1024
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:33,511
We beseech You to let our
brother Ivan Divié rest in peace

1025
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:37,560
to await the time when You
wake him and in Your light

1026
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:40,838
sees God because You are
our resurrection and life,

1027
01:21:41,480 --> 01:21:44,916
You live and reign
for ever more. Amen.

1028
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:52,680
Relieve us of all evil, not least,
from circumstances of Kosovo,

1029
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:58,631
protect us Almighty God, Father,
Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

1030
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:14,830
Are there any among Czechs
you would wish to hear?

1031
01:22:15,480 --> 01:22:16,629
Mécha.

1032
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:22,550
And he would yell at me,
he would be offensive

1033
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:30,796
and intolerably jealous of
that cunt of his, that Lori.

1034
01:22:31,440 --> 01:22:36,833
But I wouldn't enjoy it. His
Krkonoé Pilgrimage would be fun

1035
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,558
and those twenty striking
verses from his Méj.

1036
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:44,679
I would discuss this with him.
He wouldn't give me the pleasure.

1037
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:48,799
He would be aggressive,
as per usual,

1038
01:22:49,440 --> 01:22:55,470
and indigestible company.
That's well known.

1039
01:22:55,920 --> 01:23:01,598
Aggressive...
You'd say:

1040
01:23:02,480 --> 01:23:05,836
"That Lori, she's got
marvellous little ears."

1041
01:23:06,480 --> 01:23:10,553
Then, he'd perhaps drive a knife
into your stomach. Madman!

1042
01:23:12,480 --> 01:23:16,633
In this sense I would want
the dead to arise.

1043
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:24,800
Call up people who fascinate me.

1044
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:31,550
Pascal. For a moment,
only for a while.

1045
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:37,640
Or Nietzsche or Heidegger,
those yes.

1046
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:41,839
But only for a moment.
But it will never happen...

1047
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:46,875
castle.

1048
01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:51,872
...that is possible that
like when Nietzsche died

1049
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:55,757
that according to
the Law of preserving energy

1050
01:23:55,920 --> 01:24:00,676
there remained in the atmosphere
five hundred million atoms...

1051
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:06,711
-Shaggy Parasol.
-...circling aimlessly above.

1052
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:13,593
And, thereafter,
evaporating into the cosmos.

1053
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:15,876
He has enough space there.

1054
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:28,669
If the film were to be of
good quality, dear director,

1055
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:31,832
then it will be, that is a thing
of which I thought about.

1056
01:24:32,480 --> 01:24:38,590
It would only be superficial.
It would only hold style.

1057
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:42,833
It would have no content though
it would be very attractive.

1058
01:24:43,480 --> 01:24:48,509
Because it is important
what you experience during it

1059
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:51,877
and that is simply
indescribable.

1060
01:24:54,560 --> 01:25:01,557
Those are experiences which
you only can go through

1061
01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:05,509
when you are dying
or are being born.

1062
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:09,913
Because when I am asked what
I remember of it

1063
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:16,636
believe me that
I only remember total silence.

1064
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:21,431
I know that. But I do not know

1065
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,592
whether that silence lasted
thirty seconds or ten minutes.

1066
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:32,760
Life kind of stopped and in
that moment one seemed absent.

1067
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:35,711
Only something
was happening to you.

1068
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:39,714
That is the first thing you
could not grasp from the outside

1069
01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:44,511
even if it was as obvious as in
an action film and, secondly,

1070
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:51,598
and I think crucially,
that you realise what is FEAR -

1071
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:58,790
which, though, stays with
you for the rest of your life.

1072
01:25:59,440 --> 01:26:00,919
Like... are you listening
to what I am saying?

1073
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:03,710
Very much so, to every word.

1074
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:06,554
That's a different
kind of fear, not a fear

1075
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:10,509
of being scared to be in such
a situation I ended up in.

1076
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:14,753
It's a fear which sticks to you
when you walk into a street.

1077
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:22,554
I never looked behind me waiting
at a junction for the lights.

1078
01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:26,714
When I waited for the metro I
used to stand by the safety line

1079
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:31,716
which I simply don't do any more.
Without even thinking.

1080
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:35,635
That, you understand,
simply overwhelms you.

1081
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:45,437
I'll say something silly.
You seem to me like a brave M.P..

1082
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:47,876
Maybe you even are.

1083
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:51,518
Orphan Castle.
Oyster Mushroom.

1084
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:55,913
From the moment it happened
something changed in Czecho.

1085
01:26:56,560 --> 01:27:00,758
When I saw your head and saw
something I could not touch,

1086
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:04,550
it seemed to me
that it was symbolic,

1087
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:09,590
not that you were a symbol
or a hero, you understand,

1088
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:15,631
but that something happened
and you were a part of it.

1089
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:19,671
Do you understand...

1090
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:24,630
Now you are tinged by
it and clearly cannot back out.

1091
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:29,749
You have to express
yourself in that sense.

1092
01:27:30,440 --> 01:27:32,750
Get involved in certain things.

1093
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:40,873
In relation to ethnic minorities
in Parliament, you understand.

1094
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:45,599
Hang on! I became entangled
in this even before that.

1095
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:50,630
It's laughable that you
receive a kick from fate

1096
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:54,714
which strengthens what you say.

1097
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:57,474
As long as you don't start
talking nonsense.

1098
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:05,758
Are you trying to say that my
opinion will be more respected?

1099
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,753
Yes, because you know
something of that horror.

1100
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:13,630
That's not true. From my own
experience I can tell you that

1101
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:19,478
I have more often come across
the view, or a variety of views,

1102
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:23,793
that, in fact,
I am a black swine like those

1103
01:28:24,480 --> 01:28:29,680
that I defend. I talk crap.
Haven't I had enough?

1104
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:33,629
We are all black swine.
I am also a black swine.

1105
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:37,919
Well, you said that nicely.
That strengthens you.

1106
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:41,791
I am aware that it reduces
one's strength but

1107
01:28:42,440 --> 01:28:46,513
ultimately, as a consequence,
it makes you more powerful.

1108
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:49,593
I think, though, that would be
the worst outcome,

1109
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:53,833
sorry that I am opposing you,
as a colleague I beg to differ-

1110
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:57,478
that would be the worst thing
that could happen because

1111
01:28:57,640 --> 01:29:02,555
I would become someone who is
doing something just for effect.

1112
01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:06,600
No, that cannot possibly happen
to you. We are just diluting it.

1113
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:11,630
That yourself, that you are
capable even of talking about it.

1114
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:17,796
If I was convinced that

1115
01:29:18,440 --> 01:29:23,640
because of this I had more
respect thafll be dangerous.

1116
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:27,714
I would take on a role. Well,
you know this as a director.

1117
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:29,917
-I have spoiled your plan.
-No.

1118
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:36,829
A person gets a helping hand
from fate in a horrific manner,

1119
01:29:37,720 --> 01:29:41,793
boost - downer in a way,
something a person wouldn't wish.

1120
01:29:42,440 --> 01:29:45,558
I have to admit that it
did not really strengthen me.

1121
01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:50,834
I told you a moment ago that, to
the contrary, my fears increased.

1122
01:29:51,480 --> 01:29:55,474
Not the kind of fear which
would stop me being a politician

1123
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:59,936
avoiding touchy subjects,
but gave me an unknown fear.

1124
01:29:59,960 --> 01:30:00,836
Avoiding touchy subjects,
but gave me an unknown fear.

1125
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:04,876
Fear from every hour which
I spend in an environment

1126
01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:07,437
where I don't know
what is going to happen.

1127
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:09,477
You think that
gives strength? No.

1128
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:11,836
Yes, because it gives us
a kick up the backside.

1129
01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:16,559
-I sometimes bellowed in fear.
-You bellowed in fear?

1130
01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:20,634
Yes, until one gets totally rid
of it like, or nearly,

1131
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:23,440
because a person does not
ever get rid of it absolutely.

1132
01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:26,831
The organism strengthens. Unless
one has a total breakdown.

1133
01:30:27,480 --> 01:30:31,633
It's ever a thin line between
the nut-house and the street.

1134
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:35,873
That dog has been crossed with a
sausage dog, thus has short legs.

1135
01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:39,831
And every one of our politicians
do not reach even his knees.

1136
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:44,514
I said that in a live broadcast,
but firstly asked if it was live.

1137
01:30:44,680 --> 01:30:48,878
When they affirmed I said this.
Then there was a minute silence.

1138
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:52,513
-This was on the State TV?
-No, it was commercial NOVA.

1139
01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:56,435
NOVA with its Director Zelezny.
Zelezny. He throws the javelin.

1140
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:59,433
He introduced me his bodyguards.

1141
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:02,831
In no idiotic American soap
did I see someone

1142
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:07,673
introducing you to six foot
heavies who stand beside him.

1143
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:10,798
That's democracy.

1144
01:31:11,440 --> 01:31:16,469
-That is People's Democracy.
-Intros to heavies is democracy.

1145
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:18,790
There is greatest censorship
in late-night erotic programmes.

1146
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:23,869
-They crossed out my dick.
-Sweetie, feel my dick.

1147
01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:29,799
Wait, you agree to your
brother doing such things?

1148
01:31:30,440 --> 01:31:32,795
Does it because of money.
Has an evil wife.

1149
01:31:33,440 --> 01:31:37,798
She needs him to bring in at
least twenty thousand a month.

1150
01:31:38,440 --> 01:31:39,839
Nobody would get me to do it.

1151
01:31:40,480 --> 01:31:44,872
-Got the Literary paper here...
-We'll put this on film.

1152
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:52,479
Fool, fool, fool...

1153
01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:58,589
...the Literary Newspaper from
the week that Ivan Divié died.

1154
01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:04,472
And here are his verses
about rising from the dead and

1155
01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:10,909
if timed him 1, 2, 3 months ago,
talked to him about this.

1156
01:32:11,560 --> 01:32:17,636
All the time he babbled on
'bout some Dillinger from Brno.

1157
01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:21,634
'E said he was a murderer
and a gangster.

1158
01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:28,479
In that very newspaper it says-
Karel, look at it -

1159
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:34,639
graphic designer Petr Dillinger.

1160
01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:39,670
And here it is written
that he died 45 years ago

1161
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:43,515
and did wood carvings
for "Grannie",

1162
01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:49,839
isn't that strange that
that very day I read about them.

1163
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:54,673
Grandad orally, granma anally.

1164
01:32:57,840 --> 01:33:03,677
First opera was for the nation.
Composed in the pre-war Republic

1165
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:11,429
where Lukeé tried
to create some committed art.

1166
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:15,520
This opera ends
in a tragi-comic fashion,

1167
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:18,593
in fact it presents the
incompetence of our acrobats.

1168
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:23,596
This is, so, as on to the stage
of the National Theatre

1169
01:33:23,760 --> 01:33:27,515
lands one of the flyers
as a piece of frazzled bacon.

1170
01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:31,674
Lukeé, by the way,
composed 38 operas.

1171
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:35,879
Shortened essay
by Petr Rezek - HOOF.

1172
01:33:37,520 --> 01:33:38,919
That is reality.

1173
01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:45,919
That is a model
according to reality,

1174
01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:49,519
a piece of art.

1175
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:54,679
And a piece of art causes

1176
01:33:54,840 --> 01:34:00,552
the creation of a new reality -

1177
01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:03,751
a shoe.

1178
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:08,873
Probably placed the little peg
badly, I forget sometimes.

1179
01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:11,636
Shaggy Mane.

1180
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:18,794
...and thus a created
new reality

1181
01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:25,478
which I can put on my foot.

1182
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:33,711
When the Germans came he tried
again to be loyal in some way.

1183
01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:40,798
But that loyalty of his always
proved the proverb was apt:

1184
01:34:41,480 --> 01:34:44,791
Do favours for the devil
and hell will reward you.

1185
01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:49,712
In front of the hospital
in Louny,

1186
01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:55,558
where in the winter of 44
he worked as a doctor

1187
01:34:57,440 --> 01:35:02,640
an ambulance (which was in the
service of the Gestapo), crashed.

1188
01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:09,433
It ran over some SA doctor
bloke, by name of Kaiser,

1189
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:12,831
well-known locally
<i>as</i> an active fascist.

1190
01:35:13,520 --> 01:35:19,516
This German broke many bones

1191
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:25,790
and was unlucky the hospital
had a shortage of bandages

1192
01:35:26,480 --> 01:35:31,680
and Lukeé didn't notice
breakages deep in the pelvis,

1193
01:35:31,840 --> 01:35:37,597
so, the German
died of embolism and

1194
01:35:37,760 --> 01:35:42,880
there were efforts to turn
Lukeé into an outcast,

1195
01:35:43,560 --> 01:35:50,557
an anti-German Czech saboteur,
as they used to say, and

1196
01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:57,549
eventually ended up
on a psychiatric ward

1197
01:35:57,720 --> 01:36:02,590
under Professor Mysliveéek
in Prague and,

1198
01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:07,436
thus, this Mysliveéek really put
his neck on the line

1199
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:10,479
and saved Lukeé
from a catastrophe.

1200
01:36:10,640 --> 01:36:12,517
You know what gives us
extra strength:

1201
01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:17,873
when voluntarily you do
something you're afraid of.

1202
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:21,757
And that is the case
when you were in opposition.

1203
01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:23,718
Like during
the previous political era.

1204
01:36:24,720 --> 01:36:28,429
You know what was most
horrifying? To say the first NO!

1205
01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:32,519
To refuse something.

1206
01:36:32,680 --> 01:36:36,799
To choose to cross
the road with a red light.

1207
01:36:37,480 --> 01:36:41,474
On the basis of that voluntary
NO, then all the following NOs

1208
01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:44,871
are terribly unimportant
and come about much more easily.

1209
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:47,875
This surely was not a voluntary
decision on my part,

1210
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:51,638
that what happened
to me happened.

1211
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:57,834
During May 1968

1212
01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:02,593
people collected gold to put up
statues of Masaryk

1213
01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:04,751
and for the Czech Republics'
gold reserves...

1214
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:07,673
We gave gold, a golden necklace
and then got our gander up...

1215
01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:11,799
If you consider that year 89,
only four months later people

1216
01:37:12,480 --> 01:37:15,711
were arguing over property.
That is also a basic difference.

1217
01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:22,752
There's also a big difference in
that mystical quality of Dubéek.

1218
01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:27,437
Lots of people make fun of him
but I, who saw him from close up

1219
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:30,592
and talked to him, know
that he was a great mystic.

1220
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:34,833
And that he was, so, terribly
dumb because he was so internal

1221
01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:37,591
which lots of people
did not realise...

1222
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:40,673
I knew him very personally,

1223
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:43,514
I used to visit him
frequently in Slovakia...

1224
01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:46,593
...there is another
such slapstick in Czecho.

1225
01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:49,673
We had another
such a crazy President

1226
01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:53,470
and he ended up likewise
wretchedly.

1227
01:37:53,920 --> 01:37:59,632
That was Edvard Beneé.
If you ever heard him squeal...

1228
01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:04,715
-That voice pitch...
-In history one can sense

1229
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:09,477
that dependence that Masaryk had
on Beneé. How much he needed him.

1230
01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:11,870
Because he saw his qualities

1231
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:16,519
as a human being.

1232
01:38:16,680 --> 01:38:24,633
He worked with good and bad
means, but correctly.

1233
01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:30,677
So, Beneé seems in the eyes of
some people as partly a rogue.

1234
01:38:31,480 --> 01:38:38,671
But he foresaw the future
which is a mystery to me.

1235
01:38:38,840 --> 01:38:43,516
I dislike those who do it
sensibly and emotionally

1236
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:47,469
which is why I don't like the
theatre which depends on emotion.

1237
01:38:47,680 --> 01:38:50,832
Actors usually
don't keep a distance.

1238
01:38:51,480 --> 01:38:55,439
But Beneé, and Dubéek, had the
quality of the actor O. Novy.

1239
01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:58,558
You gawp what nonsense they talk
and you feel good.

1240
01:38:58,720 --> 01:39:01,439
Because something good
is happening there.

1241
01:39:01,600 --> 01:39:06,834
That is very deep.
Those are really strange things.

1242
01:39:07,640 --> 01:39:13,750
Although, some can interpret it
quite the other way round and

1243
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:19,791
talk about it as totally
nonsensical acts,

1244
01:39:20,480 --> 01:39:22,869
as badly managed events.

1245
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:27,474
Doctor Jan Lukeé
who was born in 1912

1246
01:39:27,640 --> 01:39:31,554
was a doctor, a dermatologist,
a psychiatrist,

1247
01:39:31,720 --> 01:39:36,794
a linguist and poet,
a mathematician and a chemist.

1248
01:39:37,440 --> 01:39:42,594
His frequent stage experiments
with various explosives

1249
01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:45,878
relate to his original
interest in chemistry.

1250
01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:49,518
Kfivoklét Castle.
Yellow-tipped Coral.

1251
01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:54,834
...and a calligrapher he was. Or
ties it with VéchaFs book cult.

1252
01:39:55,480 --> 01:39:58,791
He invented altogether
16 artificial languages,

1253
01:39:59,440 --> 01:39:59,936
and worked into a proper form,
like Esperanto, two of them.

1254
01:39:59,960 --> 01:40:04,591
And worked into a proper form,
like Esperanto, two of them.

1255
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:08,833
In order to communicate
with his wife,

1256
01:40:09,480 --> 01:40:12,438
who was called Dahoriane and
came from another planet

1257
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:16,514
landing in a space-ship near his
cottage near Solopysky,

1258
01:40:16,680 --> 01:40:21,675
he invented a language, so,
that he could talk to her.

1259
01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:24,559
Yes, he was also
a fiction writer.

1260
01:40:24,720 --> 01:40:29,430
His greatest deviation from
norm, though, was his music.

1261
01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:34,629
And his requiem which he
composed. It's not mystification.

1262
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:41,433
Somewhere he writes that when he
comes before his final judgement

1263
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:45,559
he will have the score of his
Requiem under his arm.

1264
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:51,636
That is the important deviation
which liberates the most and

1265
01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:54,679
increases the distance from
mediocrity and the average

1266
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:59,437
in which he felt, so,
uncomfortable and incapable,

1267
01:40:59,480 --> 01:41:03,439
and it was that very centre
in which:

1268
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:07,594
Do favour for the devil
and he will reward you.

1269
01:41:11,440 --> 01:41:16,674
Ré bi Castle.
Pigskin Poison Puffball.

1270
01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:24,439
Well, after the war
it all carried on

1271
01:41:24,640 --> 01:41:28,429
with Lukeé unleashing
a humorous movement

1272
01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:32,594
with the publication
"My Freedom"

1273
01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:37,755
and called Paxism.
But the joke was misunderstood,

1274
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:43,518
he was arrested in 1946 by
the Secret Police

1275
01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:48,595
and taken to the nut-house
spending four months there

1276
01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:53,436
and becoming professionally
disqualified.

1277
01:41:53,600 --> 01:41:56,877
At the onset of the Fifties
he tried a return to medicine

1278
01:41:57,520 --> 01:41:58,749
but it was no longer possible.

1279
01:41:58,920 --> 01:42:03,437
Here we are in Litomyél, here is
Stakhanovite of Jan Lukeé,

1280
01:42:03,600 --> 01:42:08,515
<i>composer MrNusék,
poet Petr Kréfl...</i>

1281
01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:13,874
Opera "Stakhanovite"
you have to say.

1282
01:42:14,520 --> 01:42:18,753
That had to be for him
a great project.

1283
01:42:18,920 --> 01:42:22,470
It's only a prologue,
and a first and second part,

1284
01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:26,474
so, the whole had to be
much thicker, God knows,

1285
01:42:26,640 --> 01:42:29,917
ifs perhaps only a half and
it's a piano score in fact.

1286
01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:33,678
No, not a piano score,
ifs a kind of an outline.

1287
01:42:33,880 --> 01:42:39,637
Everything is there. Even the
weather and the nation's history.

1288
01:42:43,480 --> 01:42:46,518
-Are we filming it?
-Let the overture begin.

1289
01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:52,795
The tuba has kind of B, but
starts otherwise in a clean C...

1290
01:42:53,440 --> 01:42:55,716
He even has
instrumental notes here.

1291
01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:03,554
That is ceremonial overture...

1292
01:43:03,720 --> 01:43:08,556
You know, he seems to me like

1293
01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:11,872
a cross between
Smetana and Dobiéé, indeed!

1294
01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:14,915
It depends
in what year he did this.

1295
01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:20,475
-Did he create it before Dobiéé?
-Didn't Dobiéé steal it?

1296
01:43:20,640 --> 01:43:24,679
We'll get started
on the first Act.

1297
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:28,435
Well, here is something to get
teeth into,

1298
01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:31,433
there the jungle begins

1299
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:34,911
into which I don't dare
to venture into.

1300
01:43:35,560 --> 01:43:39,679
I like the overture as it's
dedicated to victors.

1301
01:43:39,840 --> 01:43:44,516
Ceremonial overture
for the Police choirs.

1302
01:43:44,680 --> 01:43:47,672
So, the Police
were supposed to sing in choirs.

1303
01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:51,674
And the Secret Police hidden
in the orchestra, they only hum.

1304
01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:56,550
Definitely, that overture
is some kind of march and

1305
01:43:56,720 --> 01:44:00,429
as one can see
isn't quite finished

1306
01:44:00,600 --> 01:44:03,433
in places, a certain indication.

1307
01:44:09,440 --> 01:44:12,876
And now in unison the chorus,
smoothly into it,

1308
01:44:13,560 --> 01:44:17,713
here it ends with something
extremely unusual...

1309
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:23,514
No, it isn't unusual
only written strangely

1310
01:44:25,480 --> 01:44:31,829
and suddenly they begin to sing:
Glory be to Marx and Engels,

1311
01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:38,675
Lenin, Stalin.

1312
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:44,831
Fathers of the working class...

1313
01:44:45,520 --> 01:44:51,596
Now accompaniment, jumps lower,
a very modern approach isn't it,

1314
01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:59,599
and now the text...

1315
01:44:59,760 --> 01:45:05,472
Thus, gave wisdom to the world,
which is above all wisdom.

1316
01:45:05,640 --> 01:45:08,632
-Music thus...
-Cascade-like.

1317
01:45:08,800 --> 01:45:13,715
Like the SS man, who was asked
at the Nuremberg trial

1318
01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:18,477
why he did not hang the three-
year old little girl in the camp.

1319
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:22,520
"| have children, I couldn't do
it." "Were you punished?"

1320
01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:24,751
"Nothing happened to me,
somebody else carried it out."

1321
01:45:25,440 --> 01:45:28,796
Same, one could refuse to oo-
operate with the Secret Police.

1322
01:45:29,440 --> 01:45:31,875
One could have said
|won't do it, I can't do it

1323
01:45:32,520 --> 01:45:34,557
but a fair majority of people
accepted it.

1324
01:45:34,720 --> 01:45:36,870
Read it, makes pleasant reading.

1325
01:45:42,640 --> 01:45:48,750
We shall calm ourselves,
my butt is wet from the sand.

1326
01:45:49,560 --> 01:45:52,552
After the overture,
before the actual Act starts

1327
01:45:52,720 --> 01:45:54,552
-there is the dedication.
-Kare|,

1328
01:45:54,720 --> 01:45:59,556
you have to film that.

1329
01:46:04,760 --> 01:46:08,799
Lukeé thought every opera
should be dedicated to a woman.

1330
01:46:09,480 --> 01:46:14,759
Indeed, Lukeé did great
things in that opera.

1331
01:46:15,440 --> 01:46:23,440
He wrote the 4th and 5th Acts
of 'The Bartered Bride'.

1332
01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:34,760
He got rid of
Smetands happy-end.

1333
01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:41,471
He brings the Micha clan towards
catastrophe. But in the end

1334
01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:45,713
Smetana's happy-end
wins anyway.

1335
01:46:45,880 --> 01:46:50,431
Mafenka as the Carmelite
convent Lady Superior who,

1336
01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:53,672
when at the end of her tether,

1337
01:46:53,840 --> 01:46:58,789
Jenik instead of Jesus
appears to her

1338
01:46:59,480 --> 01:47:03,838
and this Jenik takes her off
into that initial Smetana eden.

1339
01:47:05,440 --> 01:47:09,911
When Luke§s mother dies
he loses the will to live,

1340
01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:12,870
a hand-to-mouth existence
in that flat until 70,

1341
01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:16,837
himself rings the loony-bin
to pick him up because

1342
01:47:17,480 --> 01:47:20,632
he claims that
the <i>s</i> have multiplied,

1343
01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:24,634
so, much that he cannot exist
there any more and really

1344
01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:29,749
when the flat is opened up
a massive swarm of moths escape

1345
01:47:29,920 --> 01:47:33,595
having eaten all the bedding,

1346
01:47:33,760 --> 01:47:37,799
and because he tries
to wash windows with acetone,

1347
01:47:38,480 --> 01:47:41,598
light was created
as in an eclipse,

1348
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:46,436
thus being left
only with artificial light.

1349
01:47:46,480 --> 01:47:52,556
Then he was taken off to the
mad-house where he died in 77.

1350
01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:58,592
Well, and to that tragic life
he added a nice thought -

1351
01:47:58,760 --> 01:48:06,760
some operas and some
lives are, so, tragic

1352
01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:10,638
that they are best
left unfinished.

1353
01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:17,630
Every day among devils I wake,

1354
01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:24,754
slowly a devil I make

1355
01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:32,596
Every day among devils I wake,

1356
01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:39,760
slowly a devil I make

1357
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:46,557
I know a crystal spring where
thickest is the fearing, there

1358
01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:51,749
grows dark fern and
around a red killer is hovering

1359
01:48:52,800 --> 01:48:57,749
to gobble dragons, and there
must I day and night be of help

1360
01:48:58,440 --> 01:49:04,789
enslaved
in Police-slavery be.

1361
01:49:05,480 --> 01:49:11,795
Enslaved
in Police-slavery be.

1362
01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:31,634
Charter 77,
the grey zone and you...

1363
01:49:35,880 --> 01:49:41,751
The conditions under the
previous regime were very tough.

1364
01:49:42,440 --> 01:49:45,478
They were hard for me since 48

1365
01:49:45,640 --> 01:49:51,591
when I wrote:
Litera scripta manet -

1366
01:49:51,760 --> 01:49:56,436
I wrote of the Soviet Union
as a fascist set-up

1367
01:49:56,600 --> 01:49:59,797
which has nothing in common
with Marxism and Socialism

1368
01:50:00,440 --> 01:50:02,716
and that it has to be removed by
a new revolution.

1369
01:50:02,880 --> 01:50:07,636
I was 18 at the time, so, I
could not imagine anything else

1370
01:50:07,800 --> 01:50:11,509
but a new Trockyist revolution.

1371
01:50:11,680 --> 01:50:14,718
From that time I have repeated
it a hundred times and

1372
01:50:14,880 --> 01:50:19,795
I have not spent
those times in clover,

1373
01:50:20,440 --> 01:50:23,717
through the Fifties,
through the Sixties.

1374
01:50:23,880 --> 01:50:31,560
I must be one of the oldest
dissidents, illegal since 48.

1375
01:50:31,720 --> 01:50:36,874
-Kombucha. Kunétice mountain.
-The Secret police and you.

1376
01:50:37,760 --> 01:50:41,879
I have the impression that all
who remember those times know

1377
01:50:42,520 --> 01:50:47,833
that the Secret Police followed
all who were non-conformists,

1378
01:50:48,480 --> 01:50:51,677
which meant thousands of people.

1379
01:50:51,840 --> 01:50:57,472
What they put down
in their materials,

1380
01:50:57,640 --> 01:51:01,873
they were things
nobody controlled.

1381
01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:05,911
There they could write
what they wanted.

1382
01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:13,637
What was found, let's say,
later in the archives

1383
01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:22,640
is a question of how much those
materials can be relied upon.

1384
01:51:22,840 --> 01:51:28,597
The Secret Police had interest
in as many informers as possible.

1385
01:51:28,760 --> 01:51:31,832
They created false
documentation and

1386
01:51:32,480 --> 01:51:37,429
to son them out is the role
of historians, not mine.

1387
01:51:40,640 --> 01:51:44,873
That contact with
the Secret Police visiting,

1388
01:51:45,560 --> 01:51:49,793
spying was common to all those
non-conformists,

1389
01:51:50,480 --> 01:51:57,637
particularly after 68,
and you can ask anybody.

1390
01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:08,439
Every day among devils I wake,

1391
01:52:10,440 --> 01:52:15,833
slowly a devil I make

1392
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:23,633
Every day among devils I wake,

1393
01:52:25,600 --> 01:52:30,879
slowly a devil I make

1394
01:52:31,920 --> 01:52:37,757
I know a crystal spring where
thickest is the fearing, there

1395
01:52:37,920 --> 01:52:44,474
grows dark fern and around
a red killer is hovering

1396
01:52:44,640 --> 01:52:49,635
to gobble dragons,
and there must I day and night

1397
01:52:49,800 --> 01:52:56,718
be of help enslaved
in Police-slavery be.

1398
01:52:56,880 --> 01:53:04,514
Be of help enslaved
in Police-slavery be.

1399
01:53:05,560 --> 01:53:08,871
But some people claim that
they are completely clean...

1400
01:53:09,560 --> 01:53:15,909
The one who did not get involved
remained all clean.

1401
01:53:16,560 --> 01:53:19,678
These involved people
for one reason or another,

1402
01:53:19,840 --> 01:53:24,914
and were simply the majority,
did it for profit or out of fear.

1403
01:53:25,560 --> 01:53:30,680
Then there were people
who became involved against

1404
01:53:30,840 --> 01:53:33,912
and there were people
who played it both ways.

1405
01:53:34,560 --> 01:53:38,918
Those who privately claimed that
they are anti-communists and,

1406
01:53:39,560 --> 01:53:42,632
at the same time,
drank in the State trough,

1407
01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:48,478
or if they were in the Arts
then they did very dirty work

1408
01:53:48,640 --> 01:53:54,716
because they created, for good
money, a fig-leaf for the regime

1409
01:53:54,880 --> 01:53:59,670
showing that there
is a cultural and free life.

1410
01:53:59,840 --> 01:54:03,595
Of those there were many,
it was a so-called grey zone.

1411
01:54:03,760 --> 01:54:09,676
Every day among devils I wake,

1412
01:54:11,600 --> 01:54:16,674
slowly a devil I make

1413
01:54:17,920 --> 01:54:24,758
Every day among devils I wake

1414
01:54:26,520 --> 01:54:32,516
slowly a devil I make

1415
01:54:32,800 --> 01:54:38,637
I know a crystal spring where
thickest is the fearing, there

1416
01:54:38,800 --> 01:54:44,671
grows dark fern and around
a red killer is hovering

1417
01:54:44,840 --> 01:54:49,835
to gobble dragons, and there
must I day and night

1418
01:54:50,520 --> 01:54:56,914
be of help enslaved
in Police-slavery be.

1419
01:54:57,560 --> 01:55:04,796
Be of help enslaved
in Police-slavery be.

1420
01:55:05,440 --> 01:55:11,675
The grey zone finished with
Havel. There they concentrated.

1421
01:55:11,840 --> 01:55:16,710
There he organised banquets
for them. In his flat.

1422
01:55:16,880 --> 01:55:21,636
And when I had to show up,
or people like me,

1423
01:55:21,800 --> 01:55:24,838
to make a show out of politesse,

1424
01:55:25,520 --> 01:55:27,511
then by hook
and crook we kept at

1425
01:55:27,680 --> 01:55:30,672
arms length from those members
of the grey zone,

1426
01:55:30,840 --> 01:55:34,834
and after fulfilling societal
niceties we quickly departed.

1427
01:55:35,680 --> 01:55:39,435
I talked with your wife and
said that you want to.

1428
01:55:39,600 --> 01:55:41,830
Otherwise, I would not start
to talk about it in any way.

1429
01:55:45,640 --> 01:55:48,519
Well, don't like
talking about it.

1430
01:55:54,440 --> 01:55:58,559
I'm peeved with myself that
they got the signature out of me,

1431
01:55:58,720 --> 01:56:03,715
loathe those times and hate
it even today, and that's it!

1432
01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:09,478
Won't talk about it, because...

1433
01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:15,759
It wouldn't be for one talk but
for a whole long feature film.

1434
01:56:19,680 --> 01:56:24,709
How those pincers look like that
they got the signature from you?

1435
01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:29,473
Because some pinoers
there must have been.

1436
01:56:29,640 --> 01:56:31,836
Well, of course,
there were pincers.

1437
01:56:47,800 --> 01:56:53,557
Surely, don't say that two
gentlemen came along... well...

1438
01:56:53,720 --> 01:56:56,633
No, that's not how it was,
of course.

1439
01:56:59,560 --> 01:57:02,518
Well, they invite you
for interrogation,

1440
01:57:02,720 --> 01:57:09,877
put right in front of you
a charge, hooliganism,

1441
01:57:14,720 --> 01:57:21,877
defamation of the Head of State,
about four Articles there were.

1442
01:57:27,440 --> 01:57:32,514
I was young, stupid twenty-two
year old kid. That's hard.

1443
01:57:37,400 --> 01:57:41,234
You want to make me seem...
There are two possibilities.

1444
01:57:41,400 --> 01:57:46,076
Either you make me look an ass
who allows scars to be drawn.

1445
01:57:46,240 --> 01:57:50,313
The hate-mail came - you had it
done at the Film Studios anyway.

1446
01:57:50,960 --> 01:57:56,160
It's actually happening.
Well, they were awful letters.

1447
01:57:56,320 --> 01:58:03,192
Or you want me, and admit it,
that you're such a wag that

1448
01:58:03,360 --> 01:58:09,276
it'll be a sort of psycho-
theatre where you want to create

1449
01:58:09,440 --> 01:58:15,197
an atmosphere,
so, you get the upper hand.

1450
01:58:15,360 --> 01:58:18,193
In order to cut into me.
But I won't let that happen.

1451
01:58:18,360 --> 01:58:22,240
Notice that you don't
feel that bad 'til now.

1452
01:58:23,080 --> 01:58:26,357
In the moment when you start to
paint a scar over my face

1453
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:31,437
-you are reaching into my soul...
-I am asking your permission.

1454
01:58:32,280 --> 01:58:38,037
Would you
scar me on my hand perhaps?

1455
01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:44,069
It's my film.
Do it dear make-up artist.

1456
01:58:44,240 --> 01:58:51,112
On the hand,
you can even do it on mine.

1457
01:58:58,080 --> 01:59:00,993
First on this hand...

1458
01:59:02,200 --> 01:59:04,396
At least I'll know
how it's clone.

1459
01:59:05,280 --> 01:59:08,079
Wouldn't it be easier to out me?

1460
01:59:09,240 --> 01:59:12,278
Castle.
Clouded Aggric.

1461
01:59:12,440 --> 01:59:16,195
As Villon knifes him
I said to myself - "Man,

1462
01:59:16,360 --> 01:59:22,117
I need it like in the pictures
blood seeping from the mouth."

1463
01:59:22,280 --> 01:59:25,238
Nobody knew how to do it and
in Brno we ran into

1464
01:59:25,400 --> 01:59:32,272
a friend of Bolek Polivka, Mr.
Pecha, and he said: buy a condom,

1465
01:59:32,440 --> 01:59:36,229
fill it up with red-dye used
in the processing industry.

1466
01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:42,271
That sack used for sperms,
tie it well, snip it and

1467
01:59:42,440 --> 01:59:48,118
-put in the mouth...
-Czech dye processing.

1468
01:59:48,280 --> 01:59:52,114
...then you bite and it works. I
have two grand memories of that.

1469
01:59:52,280 --> 01:59:59,936
First, I asked the lady producer
if she'd go and buy some condoms

1470
01:59:59,960 --> 02:00:00,438
First, I asked the lady producer
if she'd go and buy some condoms

1471
02:00:01,080 --> 02:00:03,435
and she says - how many? I ask,
how many times do you repeat

1472
02:00:04,120 --> 02:00:08,193
and she said 150 times, so,
I said go and buy 200 condoms.

1473
02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:16,997
She goes into the chemists and
asks the sales-lady for condoms,

1474
02:00:17,160 --> 02:00:20,391
how many she retorts,
two hundred says she.

1475
02:00:21,040 --> 02:00:25,193
The girls' eyes bulged and sold
it to her,

1476
02:00:25,360 --> 02:00:29,194
and the production woman says,
hang on, I need a receipt.

1477
02:00:29,360 --> 02:00:34,309
And the other one where an actor
nearly died because of it.

1478
02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:42,960
Because he breathed the dye in,
after the twenty-fifth take,

1479
02:00:46,320 --> 02:00:51,235
well, the natural dye basically
affected his bronchial tubes and

1480
02:00:51,400 --> 02:00:55,234
he started to croak something
rotten on that stage,

1481
02:00:55,400 --> 02:01:00,031
and we all sat and commented:
Christ, he's brilliant

1482
02:01:00,200 --> 02:01:04,353
how he's feigning his death,
and he really was dying.

1483
02:01:06,200 --> 02:01:12,071
Now we can wash it off.
Come over here please...

1484
02:01:12,240 --> 02:01:14,311
Great, you weren't listening
to me in the slightest.

1485
02:01:14,440 --> 02:01:16,158
I was listening.

1486
02:01:22,240 --> 02:01:24,356
And that's how I looked.

1487
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:29,312
It was terrible. When I got
to the Parliament reception

1488
02:01:29,960 --> 02:01:36,275
I was shaking all over, I had
this shawl which was all red

1489
02:01:36,440 --> 02:01:40,354
and I said: "lads, I need
something to drink."

1490
02:01:41,160 --> 02:01:45,393
Before I had a sip of the
mineral-water it was blood-red.

1491
02:01:46,040 --> 02:01:48,236
What does it prove?

1492
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:54,152
You used that Czech processing
dye on me...

1493
02:02:05,120 --> 02:02:10,354
Yeah, and I kept that for luck.
It's from my daughter.

1494
02:02:14,440 --> 02:02:17,432
How does it look -
right beside the kisser-

1495
02:02:18,080 --> 02:02:25,396
it's interesting, seems as if
my nose is all huge...

1496
02:02:26,080 --> 02:02:29,357
-Almost gothic.
-I now look...

1497
02:02:30,400 --> 02:02:36,999
My wife sometimes says that
I look like a half-crazed Arab.

1498
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:39,399
Well, ifs pretty unique.

1499
02:02:40,080 --> 02:02:45,109
I've got one 36 year
old Sara and swear that

1500
02:02:45,280 --> 02:02:49,035
squabbles notwithstanding

1501
02:02:49,200 --> 02:02:51,999
and even with stand-up
battles and fist fights

1502
02:02:52,160 --> 02:02:55,278
I'll stay with her until the end.
And let it last twice as long.

1503
02:02:55,440 --> 02:02:58,398
My brother keeps switching
his women too much.

1504
02:02:59,040 --> 02:03:01,998
The first one from the bridge,
second under the train,

1505
02:03:02,160 --> 02:03:07,360
third out the window,
the 4th went for KniZék.

1506
02:03:09,040 --> 02:03:14,194
It's not worth getting divorced.
It's better not getting married.

1507
02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:17,955
That's what our dad said,
lads don't bother. He was happy

1508
02:03:18,120 --> 02:03:24,036
in his marriage which lasted
over fifty years.

1509
02:03:24,200 --> 02:03:30,355
No point in kicking
a dog. Anyone can do that.

1510
02:03:31,040 --> 02:03:38,071
The thing is to rescue it and
care for it until the end.

1511
02:03:38,320 --> 02:03:41,312
Velhartice.
Common Scaber Stalk.

1512
02:03:42,080 --> 02:03:47,234
Cain and Abel. Now you're Abel
because your brother has left.

1513
02:03:47,280 --> 02:03:50,272
-Now I am Cain and Abel.
-Why did he leave?

1514
02:03:50,440 --> 02:03:54,229
Took of fence. The millionaire
felt slighted

1515
02:03:54,400 --> 02:03:59,429
that the dog is barred.
Maybe he related that to himself.

1516
02:04:01,160 --> 02:04:06,997
Pity. To have such wealth,
I'd do good deeds.

1517
02:04:07,160 --> 02:04:11,154
Christian charity
to have such money.

1518
02:04:11,320 --> 02:04:14,233
Brother isn't charitable?
-No.

1519
02:04:16,240 --> 02:04:22,077
When I pressed him to give some
money to the dog-shelter,

1520
02:04:22,240 --> 02:04:26,996
then true enough he did.
Sent them a thousand crowns.

1521
02:04:27,160 --> 02:04:32,951
Well, I am a real poor man
but I parted with a bit more.

1522
02:04:33,120 --> 02:04:35,111
But you're a famous pauper.

1523
02:04:35,280 --> 02:04:38,238
Fame does not buy you anything
but some dosh has remained...

1524
02:04:38,400 --> 02:04:44,032
This dog is very valuable,
they got twenty thousand for him.

1525
02:04:45,360 --> 02:04:49,035
-There are wasps here.
-I have a theory that

1526
02:04:49,200 --> 02:04:53,080
people either cling to fate
or to their inner-self.

1527
02:04:53,240 --> 02:04:56,278
And that fate is by
and large pre-determined.

1528
02:04:56,440 --> 02:04:59,353
A number of causes and
consequences are determined,

1529
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:02,992
and if you hang (on the
other hand) to your inner-self,

1530
02:05:03,160 --> 02:05:07,996
then you can bring in moments
that aren't pre-ordained.

1531
02:05:08,160 --> 02:05:10,151
And disturb the determinism.

1532
02:05:10,320 --> 02:05:15,156
You draw erotic pictures and
he takes erotic photographs.

1533
02:05:17,040 --> 02:05:20,317
You have an inner-self and you
have the will to hang on to it

1534
02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:23,116
and, thus, it's the only will
which you can show.

1535
02:05:23,280 --> 02:05:28,195
You let go, you enter the fate,
you hang on, you enter the self.

1536
02:05:28,360 --> 02:05:31,159
You're simply talking
about intuition.

1537
02:05:31,320 --> 02:05:36,315
-Nothing else but intuition.
-And will.

1538
02:05:37,040 --> 02:05:41,159
No. Intuition gets you
inside for the truth.

1539
02:05:43,160 --> 02:05:48,030
-That's also a word for it.
-Not just a word, it's the truth.

1540
02:05:48,200 --> 02:05:50,271
And without intuition
you cannot get there.

1541
02:05:50,440 --> 02:05:53,159
How can you reach the inner-self
if you don't have it.

1542
02:05:54,040 --> 02:05:56,236
In the first place, you have
to know what the inner-self is,

1543
02:05:56,400 --> 02:05:59,199
how to reach it.
That's intuition in fact.

1544
02:06:01,240 --> 02:06:05,996
In the Lucerna hall recently
I gave a talk and

1545
02:06:06,160 --> 02:06:09,278
the question was:
has a being free will?

1546
02:06:09,440 --> 02:06:17,440
Free will comes with free spirit.
His will along with God's will.

1547
02:06:20,160 --> 02:06:25,314
But if one has karma-like
commitments, VASAN,

1548
02:06:26,000 --> 02:06:27,991
then cannot have free will.
In other words,

1549
02:06:28,160 --> 02:06:33,280
has and hasn't free will, his
will is basically God's will but

1550
02:06:33,440 --> 02:06:39,118
in a human being is clouded by
need and, thereby, is not free.

1551
02:06:39,280 --> 02:06:45,117
If he hangs on to that rope
which is really his inner-self,

1552
02:06:45,280 --> 02:06:47,032
then is hanging on to God.

1553
02:06:47,200 --> 02:06:53,196
-That's right.
-To hang on to the inner-self.

1554
02:06:55,080 --> 02:06:59,233
When you talk about intuition.

1555
02:07:00,440 --> 02:07:05,958
Intuition is, in fact, the inner.
What else can it be?

1556
02:07:06,120 --> 02:07:08,111
It's the truth sent out
of the inner-self.

1557
02:07:08,280 --> 02:07:12,990
-Intellect is from the outside.
-That's nice, you use it.

1558
02:07:13,160 --> 02:07:19,190
That's why your content is
that little bit different then...

1559
02:07:20,360 --> 02:07:26,231
When someone makes a mistake in
one's life, is a police nark,

1560
02:07:26,400 --> 02:07:29,392
and in the meantime
creates beautiful music -

1561
02:07:30,080 --> 02:07:32,310
what's happening?

1562
02:07:33,000 --> 02:07:38,279
In that music he's almost
perfect but in life - awful...

1563
02:07:38,440 --> 02:07:44,152
I say that one follows a path
which is given when one is born,

1564
02:07:44,320 --> 02:07:48,075
a line which leads to
one's liberation but,

1565
02:07:48,240 --> 02:07:52,313
perhaps, leans to the left,
makes that mistake but,

1566
02:07:52,960 --> 02:07:58,956
again, comes closer with that
music or some creativity.

1567
02:07:59,120 --> 02:08:02,431
You know, art is a way
towards the middle and

1568
02:08:03,120 --> 02:08:07,079
one day it happens that one
is united with that centre,

1569
02:08:07,240 --> 02:08:13,077
or if not, is rapped over
the knuckles, pays penance.

1570
02:08:13,240 --> 02:08:17,120
Well, if he makes a mistake
as an advanced human being

1571
02:08:17,280 --> 02:08:20,432
who is hanging on
to that inner rope,

1572
02:08:21,120 --> 02:08:25,990
then that person is rapped right
away. It's a karma levelling out.

1573
02:08:26,160 --> 02:08:31,030
When it's a person who's strayed
a lot from that central path

1574
02:08:31,200 --> 02:08:35,194
then he is not rapped right
away. That is why people say:

1575
02:08:35,360 --> 02:08:40,116
how is it possible that I,
who is such a good person

1576
02:08:40,280 --> 02:08:45,958
and who tries to do lots of good,
remains persecuted by fate.

1577
02:08:46,120 --> 02:08:49,317
The thing is that he won't
be full of good deeds either.

1578
02:08:49,960 --> 02:08:54,193
But the one who is
a long way apart,

1579
02:08:54,360 --> 02:08:59,230
he can be capable of lots of
misdeeds and stay unpunished.

1580
02:08:59,400 --> 02:09:03,075
There is a koén in the Bible:

1581
02:09:03,240 --> 02:09:06,073
who does harm,
keeps harming further.

1582
02:09:06,240 --> 02:09:09,278
And there is also,
who reeks - reeks further.

1583
02:09:09,440 --> 02:09:12,398
There's a joke for this.

1584
02:09:13,080 --> 02:09:16,960
As a stater falls from the
24th floor he keeps saying,

1585
02:09:17,120 --> 02:09:22,149
ifs still all right,
and keeps repeating it.

1586
02:09:23,040 --> 02:09:26,317
And that is the one who is
not advanced very much.

1587
02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:29,435
It takes a long time.
Of course, he hits the ground.

1588
02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:33,391
When one has not advanced much
then the karma alternates.

1589
02:09:34,080 --> 02:09:38,199
It comes in the next life,
because all situations

1590
02:09:38,360 --> 02:09:43,150
repeat themselves mirror-like
until total extinction.

1591
02:09:43,320 --> 02:09:48,076
The one who does harm today will
also do harm in the next lives

1592
02:09:48,240 --> 02:09:52,074
and people will wonder that such
a rogue does such damage.

1593
02:09:52,240 --> 02:09:55,358
And nothing happens to him.
Why, where is God Almighty'?

1594
02:09:56,000 --> 02:09:59,277
But suddenly it comes
and he doesn't know why.

1595
02:09:59,440 --> 02:09:59,936
And there's another koén
in the Bible -

1596
02:09:59,960 --> 02:10:03,237
And there's another koén
in the Bible -

1597
02:10:03,400 --> 02:10:09,032
I'm not a believer of the Bible
but I respect the worthy bits.

1598
02:10:09,200 --> 02:10:15,310
There's a koén: struck blind
doesn't know what he suffers for.

1599
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:22,440
I watched films of your lectures
in the Lucerna hall.

1600
02:10:23,120 --> 02:10:27,239
But I was horrified how much
you pressed to the bone.

1601
02:10:27,400 --> 02:10:32,315
Listener should have a release
of joy, they are terrified.

1602
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:39,269
They are wound up. They have to
think. It's working within them.

1603
02:10:40,080 --> 02:10:42,435
Maybe they start thinking
when they get home.

1604
02:10:43,080 --> 02:10:48,393
In Luoerna they sit and pursue
the philosophy, the truth,

1605
02:10:49,040 --> 02:10:51,998
and don't swallow it right away.
A few might but not the majority.

1606
02:10:52,040 --> 02:10:56,113
Are you sure that's how it is.

1607
02:10:56,320 --> 02:11:03,033
The good effect can come
straight away in everyone.

1608
02:11:03,200 --> 02:11:07,080
I saw a few completely
falling apart.

1609
02:11:07,240 --> 02:11:10,278
Proof is in the
number of letters.

1610
02:11:10,440 --> 02:11:14,070
Their gratitude for what
they experienced.

1611
02:11:14,240 --> 02:11:19,189
But a teacher who has not
experienced it should not teach.

1612
02:11:19,360 --> 02:11:23,991
The main thing is
to produce the atmosphere

1613
02:11:24,160 --> 02:11:28,996
in order that the people
get caught by it.

1614
02:11:29,160 --> 02:11:33,313
They can read the words
in any common spiritual book.

1615
02:11:33,960 --> 02:11:36,315
When I walk
to the stage, although

1616
02:11:37,000 --> 02:11:41,198
it will sound a little shallow,

1617
02:11:41,360 --> 02:11:45,319
I say to myself: Dear God,
help me and here we go.

1618
02:11:46,000 --> 02:11:50,312
And I never prepare for it.
I let the inner-self speak,

1619
02:11:51,000 --> 02:11:54,959
hang on to the rope as you
put it, let the inner speak.

1620
02:11:55,120 --> 02:11:58,317
And I respond
to any spiritual question.

1621
02:11:59,000 --> 02:12:05,440
If somebody asks whether they
should get divorced, get married

1622
02:12:06,080 --> 02:12:11,280
or build a summer-house I refuse
to answer such a question.

1623
02:12:12,040 --> 02:12:16,034
As I say, I don't have
the software for it.

1624
02:12:29,120 --> 02:12:33,353
You are getting inside with the
help of that intuition,

1625
02:12:34,000 --> 02:12:38,119
but your intuition is
moreover double-edged.

1626
02:12:38,280 --> 02:12:43,195
Don't film it.
I will put it to you bluntly.

1627
02:12:43,360 --> 02:12:50,391
But that inside, well if I say
Dear God help and here we go,

1628
02:12:51,080 --> 02:12:56,154
and even more accurate would
be Dear God let's go.

1629
02:12:58,120 --> 02:13:03,354
Whom should He help? Himself'?
Don't need it. Me? Don't need it.

1630
02:13:04,000 --> 02:13:08,073
Dear God let's go and I go with
that, that divinity. Yes.

1631
02:13:08,240 --> 02:13:11,073
The divinity is indeed in unity.

1632
02:13:11,240 --> 02:13:17,111
The unity will answer the
moment when the question is put.

1633
02:13:17,280 --> 02:13:25,280
Well, you move as you should,
say what you mean.

1634
02:13:28,040 --> 02:13:35,231
No, I don't say it.
It is said as it should be.

1635
02:13:35,400 --> 02:13:43,034
I only lend as a person my voice
or hearing and so on.

1636
02:13:43,200 --> 02:13:49,355
What someone says
the BIG EAR hears it.

1637
02:13:52,000 --> 02:13:54,310
Not I.
That BIG EAR hears it.

1638
02:13:54,960 --> 02:13:57,031
Can you also say that
you are looking through this?

1639
02:13:59,000 --> 02:14:01,037
You mean through the heart?

1640
02:14:01,200 --> 02:14:05,159
Well, here those people
work it when they can.

1641
02:14:05,400 --> 02:14:11,316
The internals, they sit there
and seem to feel it.

1642
02:14:12,000 --> 02:14:15,231
They really feel it but
they are on various levels, so,

1643
02:14:15,400 --> 02:14:18,074
they have different reactions.

1644
02:14:18,240 --> 02:14:25,078
The advanced are wholly clean
like, as if they're shining.

1645
02:14:25,240 --> 02:14:29,996
And if they're not advanced then
it somehow nudges them along.

1646
02:14:30,160 --> 02:14:35,189
I always hope that it also
goes into the subconscious...

1647
02:14:35,360 --> 02:14:39,274
They even carry babies there
and seemingly it stays in them.

1648
02:14:39,440 --> 02:14:44,435
I thought I don't need to film,
enough I project them in my mind.

1649
02:14:46,080 --> 02:14:50,278
20 years I wasn't allowed to make
films and I always felt busy.

1650
02:14:50,440 --> 02:14:53,080
You are doing something
with God's help.

1651
02:14:53,240 --> 02:14:57,393
What if you let God work
a bit more and you work less.

1652
02:14:58,040 --> 02:15:02,432
Well, of course. I try to do
that all the time.

1653
02:15:03,080 --> 02:15:06,152
Maybe from now on
you will work even better.

1654
02:15:10,440 --> 02:15:17,392
Storks have transmitters which
have a radius often kilometres.

1655
02:15:18,040 --> 02:15:22,238
Now, we hear the young ones.
Old birds are not present.

1656
02:15:24,040 --> 02:15:27,158
We shall look what
the young ones are doing.

1657
02:15:33,040 --> 02:15:36,271
They are atop the nest.

1658
02:15:39,360 --> 02:15:43,194
In 1995 we tagged 3 black storks.

1659
02:15:43,360 --> 02:15:46,239
They were called Christine,
Victor and Suzanne.

1660
02:15:46,400 --> 02:15:50,314
Christine flew to western Africa
as far as Senegal,

1661
02:15:51,000 --> 02:15:54,391
Victor to Chad and Suzanne
to eastern Ethiopia.

1662
02:15:55,080 --> 02:15:58,391
The three storks
returned safe and sound

1663
02:15:59,080 --> 02:16:04,200
and the following year we gave
Christine and Suzanne new packs.

1664
02:16:05,080 --> 02:16:07,435
Victor got himself lost.

1665
02:16:08,080 --> 02:16:10,356
I get depressed because of this.
That one dreams that

1666
02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:17,155
-lots more can be improved...
-We also say this to ourselves.

1667
02:16:17,320 --> 02:16:21,314
We are aware that people
are full of negativity

1668
02:16:22,000 --> 02:16:25,277
-that one can't overcome it.
-I don't say it anymore.

1669
02:16:29,200 --> 02:16:32,397
I leave it in God's hands.

1670
02:16:33,080 --> 02:16:38,029
If All could do everything,
All would be done faster.

1671
02:16:38,200 --> 02:16:43,195
But it's somehow related
to the matter.

1672
02:16:43,360 --> 02:16:47,115
But all is in the mind,
even the matter.

1673
02:16:47,280 --> 02:16:52,434
It's all indeed It.
Nothing else than that clean,

1674
02:16:53,120 --> 02:16:57,273
as Buddha said, original
thought. And that is All.

1675
02:16:57,400 --> 02:17:01,314
That 'phone,
that tomato, everything,

1676
02:17:01,960 --> 02:17:06,989
that cat there, it's all It.
From It with a capital I.

1677
02:17:07,160 --> 02:17:12,439
There is nothing else, we have
to reach this vital thought

1678
02:17:13,120 --> 02:17:17,239
in order to comprehend the
meaning and purpose of it all.

1679
02:17:20,360 --> 02:17:25,150
-It may seem to us...
-Have some, Mr.Oameraman!

1680
02:17:26,120 --> 02:17:31,069
...that it goes slowly. Why'?
Because our lives are short.

1681
02:17:31,240 --> 02:17:37,156
We live, so, short a time
that it seems slow to us.

1682
02:17:37,440 --> 02:17:44,198
But if we comprehend that the
cosmos is billions of years old.

1683
02:17:44,360 --> 02:17:47,193
Do you know how long
the universe lasts?

1684
02:17:47,400 --> 02:17:50,438
It's one Brahm year.
What is one Brahm year'?

1685
02:17:51,080 --> 02:17:59,079
Imagine a marble cube
one kilometre long at its side.

1686
02:17:59,240 --> 02:18:01,277
Kilometre by kilometre.

1687
02:18:01,440 --> 02:18:07,197
Alongside the cube flies
a small bird, say, a swallow

1688
02:18:07,360 --> 02:18:11,035
or yogi in an ochre cloak.

1689
02:18:11,200 --> 02:18:17,037
And as the swallow
touches the cube

1690
02:18:17,200 --> 02:18:21,990
with its feather

1691
02:18:22,160 --> 02:18:27,234
and the cube is wiped off
the face of the Earth,

1692
02:18:27,400 --> 02:18:32,156
then that is one Brahm year.
So, there's enough time.

1693
02:18:32,320 --> 02:18:35,438
God Almighty has lots of it.
Time eternal.

1694
02:18:36,080 --> 02:18:39,232
We should take it on board
in order not to hurry, so, much.

1695
02:18:39,400 --> 02:18:42,074
I know, but I always seem
to myself like a tube

1696
02:18:42,240 --> 02:18:45,437
through which It is meant to go
and would wish to be

1697
02:18:46,080 --> 02:18:50,199
a very wide tube, so,
that it all could happen.

1698
02:18:50,360 --> 02:18:56,072
-What is Czech in all this?
-Czech?

1699
02:18:58,320 --> 02:19:03,156
It's all Czech.
It's universal too.

1700
02:19:04,000 --> 02:19:08,119
It seems to me that everyone is
coming from different directions

1701
02:19:08,280 --> 02:19:13,992
and that the language we speak,
the way of using concepts,

1702
02:19:14,160 --> 02:19:18,996
always enables us to take a
different path, alternative ways.

1703
02:19:19,160 --> 02:19:22,994
I like that. That there
exists also the Czech way.

1704
02:19:23,160 --> 02:19:27,074
Because mankind is
a kaleidoscope of people.

1705
02:19:27,240 --> 02:19:30,392
Chateau at Hluboké.
Bitter Bolete.

1706
02:19:31,400 --> 02:19:34,199
So, it must be a little
different for everyone.

1707
02:19:34,360 --> 02:19:39,389
That Indian won't understand
our religion or Christianity,

1708
02:19:40,080 --> 02:19:43,277
like a Christian will find it
hard to understand Indians.

1709
02:19:48,040 --> 02:19:55,231
Some elements
are still relevant to me.

1710
02:19:56,040 --> 02:19:59,936
What is typically catholic?

1711
02:19:59,960 --> 02:20:01,280
What is typically catholic?

1712
02:20:01,440 --> 02:20:07,311
The liturgy, symbolism, that
mystical tradition, and, so, on.

1713
02:20:07,960 --> 02:20:13,160
That's one side. And then there
is the hierarchical structure

1714
02:20:13,320 --> 02:20:19,157
and that massive organisation,
that powerful wealthy church

1715
02:20:19,320 --> 02:20:22,199
and that wasn't my cup of tea.

1716
02:20:22,360 --> 02:20:30,360
I'm for the link of the catholic,
in the good sense, with freedom

1717
02:20:32,080 --> 02:20:36,233
or with a gentlemanly
approach having trust in people.

1718
02:20:36,400 --> 02:20:41,031
It wasn't there and I tried to
do something for it to be there.

1719
02:20:41,200 --> 02:20:44,955
But it did not seem to be
working out and, in the end,

1720
02:20:45,120 --> 02:20:49,034
I was rejected and
decided to find a community

1721
02:20:49,200 --> 02:20:51,396
where these elements, which are
vital to me, are united.

1722
02:20:52,080 --> 02:20:55,391
That means tradition and
a certain trust and freedom.

1723
02:20:56,080 --> 02:21:03,032
Opposite the Petiin labyrinth is
the church of Old Catholicism.

1724
02:21:03,200 --> 02:21:07,034
-That is your new church.
-Yes, you could say that

1725
02:21:07,200 --> 02:21:12,149
I went through a labyrinth, via
many mirrors, I anchored here.

1726
02:21:12,320 --> 02:21:17,269
We followed Suzanne to Ethiopia
but we only found her backpack.

1727
02:21:17,440 --> 02:21:22,992
-Media is also like a mirror.
Because a villager killed her.

1728
02:21:23,160 --> 02:21:27,358
So, after the winter of 96/97
only Christine returned.

1729
02:21:28,040 --> 02:21:32,398
And apart from her we tagged her
present partner called Jacob.

1730
02:21:33,040 --> 02:21:35,429
We wanted to tag her
young ones too but

1731
02:21:36,080 --> 02:21:40,392
when they were five weeks old
a hailstorm came and all died.

1732
02:21:41,040 --> 02:21:42,439
The hailstones
literally beat them to death.

1733
02:21:43,120 --> 02:21:45,236
Media knows what it wants

1734
02:21:45,400 --> 02:21:49,109
from their readers or
listeners or their audience.

1735
02:21:49,280 --> 02:21:54,070
Thus, I think that
it simply became an affair,

1736
02:21:54,240 --> 02:21:57,312
and became well known
and I am glad that

1737
02:21:57,960 --> 02:22:01,999
I can talk about it sometimes
as I think fit.

1738
02:22:04,200 --> 02:22:09,115
It would be fine if there were
more listeners of this song...

1739
02:22:29,440 --> 02:22:33,195
Who goes constantly to the left
will find himself on the right,

1740
02:22:33,360 --> 02:22:37,115
who goes right all the time
ends up on the left,

1741
02:22:37,280 --> 02:22:40,989
who goes forward all the time
will finds himself at the back,

1742
02:22:41,160 --> 02:22:44,152
who goes backwards
will be at the front -

1743
02:22:44,320 --> 02:22:48,439
because round is the world,
round is the world...

1744
02:22:55,960 --> 02:22:59,430
Earth is roundlee
and cow is Milkee.

1745
02:23:04,040 --> 02:23:07,351
Who goes constantly westwards
will find himself in the east

1746
02:23:08,040 --> 02:23:11,158
and who goes ever eastwards
arrives in the west.

1747
02:23:11,320 --> 02:23:14,438
Who goes northwards
will find himself in the south

1748
02:23:15,080 --> 02:23:18,072
and who goes ever south
arrives in the north

1749
02:23:18,240 --> 02:23:24,998
because round is the Earth,
the Earth is round.

1750
02:23:26,440 --> 02:23:30,115
Well then, comrade Scythe said:

1751
02:23:30,280 --> 02:23:34,353
Comradely greeting sister,
you also are an early riser.

1752
02:23:35,000 --> 02:23:39,119
Comrade Chirpy answers: You
see comrade, I have to every day

1753
02:23:39,280 --> 02:23:43,069
as I live, so, far away
on the other side of Prague.

1754
02:23:43,240 --> 02:23:47,199
And they sing it
on such a note.

1755
02:23:49,120 --> 02:23:53,273
Comradely greeting sister,

1756
02:23:56,440 --> 02:24:01,150
you are also
an early riseeeer...

1757
02:24:01,360 --> 02:24:03,317
How are you feeling here?

1758
02:24:03,960 --> 02:24:08,352
I am feeling OK overall
but I have some difficulties

1759
02:24:09,040 --> 02:24:13,159
as people keep switching things
put them somewhere else

1760
02:24:13,320 --> 02:24:19,032
to make it look good here. As
a result I cannot find anything.

1761
02:24:20,080 --> 02:24:23,311
That's the nub.

1762
02:24:23,960 --> 02:24:27,351
They took away my
bottle-opener for the beer.

1763
02:24:28,000 --> 02:24:30,355
I found the bottle-opener on top
of the fridge,

1764
02:24:31,000 --> 02:24:34,197
why did they put it there?

1765
02:24:34,360 --> 02:24:38,399
It was in their way, weren't it.
Terrible people here.

1766
02:24:39,200 --> 02:24:44,274
I have sixteen cassettes at
home, they wanted me to film EGO.

1767
02:24:44,440 --> 02:24:48,149
They thought that I would film

1768
02:24:48,320 --> 02:24:53,076
my satisfied well-deserved
old-age pension,

1769
02:24:53,240 --> 02:24:57,393
how I am making scrambled eggs
or how I go and feed the birdies.

1770
02:24:58,080 --> 02:25:04,395
I shot EGO and I was interested
in things which I came across.

1771
02:25:05,040 --> 02:25:09,989
Crazy things. Over-priced
medicines, frauds, no shame,

1772
02:25:10,160 --> 02:25:15,314
nonsensical heating bills
because of their incompetence.

1773
02:25:15,360 --> 02:25:21,436
I complained to the Health Min.
and I went in with a camera

1774
02:25:22,080 --> 02:25:26,313
and in the end we were
led out by the guards.

1775
02:25:27,120 --> 02:25:29,430
And you shot something about

1776
02:25:30,120 --> 02:25:34,193
a school where the students
created a revolution.

1777
02:25:34,400 --> 02:25:38,030
-I did shoot that.
-What use was it?

1778
02:25:38,200 --> 02:25:41,158
Worthless. It was for nothing.

1779
02:25:46,360 --> 02:25:50,399
It is a long story, there were
Secret Policemen in it,

1780
02:25:51,080 --> 02:25:54,436
that material was condemned
not to see the light of day.

1781
02:25:56,000 --> 02:26:00,198
And the reason was
that the TV Managing Director

1782
02:26:00,240 --> 02:26:05,110
showed himself to be tied up
with the Secret Police.

1783
02:26:05,240 --> 02:26:11,236
That means that
if you cut the documentary

1784
02:26:14,080 --> 02:26:17,038
you would use it in a story.

1785
02:26:18,160 --> 02:26:20,037
I wanted to.

1786
02:26:21,000 --> 02:26:23,310
It's useless.

1787
02:26:26,440 --> 02:26:31,037
The story should have been
about a higher moral principle.

1788
02:26:31,200 --> 02:26:38,277
You're such a wizard that you're
pleased the nonsense surfaces.

1789
02:26:38,440 --> 02:26:44,152
No, it is nonsense.
It is all nonsense dear friends.

1790
02:26:44,320 --> 02:26:50,396
-It's your creative joy.
-Film up shit-creek...

1791
02:26:51,080 --> 02:26:57,998
I don't know what I should talk
about. I said: get ready for it.

1792
02:27:00,000 --> 02:27:03,311
When I do something
I have to be sure that firstly,

1793
02:27:03,960 --> 02:27:06,270
secondly, thirdly, fourthly -
and where it is all leading.

1794
02:27:06,440 --> 02:27:10,115
I cannot improvise like this.

1795
02:27:13,080 --> 02:27:16,152
I do not know why you brought
me here. Into this misfortune,

1796
02:27:16,320 --> 02:27:22,430
I'll ride a horse, look, cowboys
are riding, I'll ride a horse.

1797
02:27:25,320 --> 02:27:31,191
You yourself have a right
to shoot something sensible.

1798
02:27:32,240 --> 02:27:34,231
I do not have a right
to anything any more.

1799
02:27:34,400 --> 02:27:38,234
We are in the hands
of lunatics, yep,

1800
02:27:38,400 --> 02:27:42,234
irresponsible people
make decisions for us.

1801
02:27:42,400 --> 02:27:46,997
-I often think that too.
-I always think that.

1802
02:27:48,160 --> 02:27:53,030
It's nonsense that I am here
in the dust,

1803
02:27:53,200 --> 02:27:57,990
cowboys, America that's
where you've brought me.

1804
02:27:58,160 --> 02:28:01,391
When I die...

1805
02:28:07,120 --> 02:28:09,999
They're talking
to me like an idiot already.

1806
02:28:10,160 --> 02:28:15,075
You sent me to the film bosses,
you knew it was all shit.

1807
02:28:15,240 --> 02:28:19,120
I hope something will come of it.

1808
02:28:20,000 --> 02:28:24,278
You hope foolishly, I know that
nothing will come of it.

1809
02:28:24,440 --> 02:28:30,231
Those people have no interest in
it, they didn't even see it.

1810
02:28:31,200 --> 02:28:35,159
100s they don't understand it.
-That is our tragedy.

1811
02:28:35,320 --> 02:28:39,359
That somebody is in charge of
something they don't understand.

1812
02:28:40,000 --> 02:28:45,279
But here in the Czech lands it
is a constant principle, you see.

1813
02:28:45,440 --> 02:28:48,114
That is why we are
heading for disaster.

1814
02:28:48,280 --> 02:28:52,319
Well yes, because those
communists and those policemen

1815
02:28:52,360 --> 02:28:58,117
renamed their young
cadres perhaps as managers.

1816
02:29:02,320 --> 02:29:06,029
I cannot think of it now.

1817
02:29:08,000 --> 02:29:10,276
They're driving
towards destruction.

1818
02:29:10,440 --> 02:29:16,152
Now, we will continue - Mr. Hysek
and MrStankovié will enter-

1819
02:29:22,280 --> 02:29:24,999
That chair is wet.

1820
02:29:26,240 --> 02:29:34,113
So, we had the opening scene
of the opera "Stakhanovites".

1821
02:29:34,280 --> 02:29:37,432
Which is dedicated
to MrsGottwald (wife of Pres).

1822
02:29:38,120 --> 02:29:42,034
She's pinning gongs on them.
I don't know their names.

1823
02:29:42,200 --> 02:29:49,197
They have names. Something
like Koubek and Gavlas.

1824
02:29:49,360 --> 02:29:51,158
Simplas.

1825
02:29:51,320 --> 02:29:55,029
BOHEMIA DOCTA
(Scholarly Czechs)

1826
02:29:55,200 --> 02:29:59,936
Is the third part of the
tetralogy "LITTLE CAPITALIST"

1827
02:29:59,960 --> 02:30:00,199
is the third part of the
tetralogy "LITTLE CAPITALIST"

1828
02:30:00,360 --> 02:30:05,309
1.1 NEW HYPERION
2.1 WHAT IS TO BE DONE?

1829
02:30:06,000 --> 02:30:08,389
4.: {being completed}

1830
02:30:10,040 --> 02:30:12,350
Let's talk
about the canteen scene.

1831
02:30:13,240 --> 02:30:21,240
They took the bottle-opener,
was it in their way?

1832
02:30:23,400 --> 02:30:26,438
It wasn't in their way,
they're just tidying up.

1833
02:30:27,120 --> 02:30:30,351
They want it to be tidy.
I will write

1834
02:30:31,040 --> 02:30:34,396
here for the table to be left
as it is my private property.

1835
02:30:35,080 --> 02:30:37,196
In your serial, the Quick Arrows
also cleaned up everywhere.

1836
02:30:37,360 --> 02:30:41,115
Well yes, but that
was a magazine...ha, ha...

1837
02:30:42,240 --> 02:30:46,074
We found out that
in the High School

1838
02:30:46,240 --> 02:30:51,235
in Ceske} Tfebové the Headmaster,
Josef Cebié, committed suicide.

1839
02:30:51,400 --> 02:30:55,109
All of you who contributed
to his death,

1840
02:30:55,280 --> 02:31:00,116
and there is no other way
of putting it, you are murderers.

1841
02:31:00,280 --> 02:31:02,954
Believe us, history
will not forgive you.

1842
02:31:03,120 --> 02:31:07,398
It is a revolution of suicides
in the name of the Civic Forum.

1843
02:31:08,080 --> 02:31:12,199
They should show you on TV or
you should introduce yourselves,

1844
02:31:12,360 --> 02:31:16,149
but we will not forget,
you can bet on that...

1845
02:31:16,320 --> 02:31:18,357
It's a reaction
to what you shot there.

1846
02:31:19,000 --> 02:31:23,995
They did not see what I filmed,
only that the Headmaster died.

1847
02:31:24,160 --> 02:31:27,039
And those communists
were convinced that

1848
02:31:27,200 --> 02:31:32,354
we drove that noble
communist to his death.

1849
02:31:33,040 --> 02:31:36,032
You drove him to death...

1850
02:31:37,080 --> 02:31:42,951
A bloodthirsty TV director went
to the High School. Myself.

1851
02:31:43,440 --> 02:31:50,233
Me, Krejfzik, and drove
a noble communist to death.

1852
02:31:50,400 --> 02:31:54,439
I saw the material, you were
only searching for the truth...

1853
02:31:55,120 --> 02:31:58,351
What else, those students
wrote me a letter and

1854
02:31:59,040 --> 02:32:05,355
pleaded for us to intervene
to help, begging for help.

1855
02:32:06,360 --> 02:32:11,434
Things are moving slowly, many
people still don't believe that

1856
02:32:12,080 --> 02:32:16,438
their era has definitely gone,
that they no longer have power

1857
02:32:17,120 --> 02:32:23,196
over the fate of little people.
All in all, nothing has changed.

1858
02:32:23,360 --> 02:32:29,151
Who's in the CF'. still has
the last word, please, help us.

1859
02:32:29,320 --> 02:32:34,315
So, off I went when they
pleaded. Yes, to help them.

1860
02:32:34,960 --> 02:32:39,272
If you please, here it is,
Mr.Vachek, it needed

1861
02:32:39,440 --> 02:32:44,150
to sit down for half a day
and conclude - what to use.

1862
02:32:44,320 --> 02:32:49,076
And not use kid-gloves

1863
02:32:49,240 --> 02:32:51,959
forgetting the iron-glove.

1864
02:32:52,120 --> 02:32:55,238
And what did you, in fact,
perpetrate there?

1865
02:32:55,400 --> 02:32:58,392
Well, I filmed it as it was.
I did not commit anything.

1866
02:32:59,040 --> 02:33:03,113
You shot what the Headmaster...
tell us what you really filmed.

1867
02:33:03,280 --> 02:33:07,274
No, this method I do not accept.
Please, I just do not accept it.

1868
02:33:07,440 --> 02:33:14,392
I tremble for every frame
which goes to waste.

1869
02:33:18,040 --> 02:33:23,274
At the time the Headmaster
informed on the students.

1870
02:33:26,240 --> 02:33:29,278
You are used to - your
method is to work with people

1871
02:33:29,440 --> 02:33:33,320
who don't have an inkling what
they are saying and improvise.

1872
02:33:33,960 --> 02:33:38,272
If the two of us agree, then
we will express the meaning,

1873
02:33:38,440 --> 02:33:41,080
we will express it succinctly.

1874
02:33:41,240 --> 02:33:45,393
I'm used to talking concisely,
precisely and clearly.

1875
02:33:46,080 --> 02:33:50,278
And not bullshit
around the subject, then edit

1876
02:33:50,440 --> 02:33:54,274
and nonsense comes out of it.
Forgive me.

1877
02:33:57,440 --> 02:34:03,231
It's haywire in my head.
You managed it. Haywire.

1878
02:34:03,400 --> 02:34:07,394
Or at least with slogans
to describe the affair.

1879
02:34:08,040 --> 02:34:13,194
With slogans, that's an idea,
that's brilliant.

1880
02:34:13,360 --> 02:34:17,399
We will express it with slogans.
What slogans?

1881
02:34:18,360 --> 02:34:21,193
Well, try it...

1882
02:34:23,200 --> 02:34:26,192
Mnvachek,
you will drive me to despair.

1883
02:34:27,080 --> 02:34:33,110
It's necessary you agree with my
doctors, so, I die quickly.

1884
02:34:33,280 --> 02:34:36,398
And then this will be of
enormous immediate value and

1885
02:34:37,040 --> 02:34:44,310
you will say: that madman at
last let his noble soul pass on.

1886
02:34:45,440 --> 02:34:51,994
Well, ifs beyond me why you do
not shoot films...

1887
02:34:52,160 --> 02:34:56,438
Some man at the TV station asked
me that when they made me wait.

1888
02:34:57,000 --> 02:35:02,120
Walking up those stairs
is demeaning.

1889
02:35:02,280 --> 02:35:06,035
Those stairs devised
for external colleagues

1890
02:35:06,200 --> 02:35:11,070
to visit the Big Chief, so, they
don't forget their place and

1891
02:35:11,240 --> 02:35:16,394
that every stair
is a step to hopelessness.

1892
02:35:17,040 --> 02:35:22,035
To nowhere, for nothing, futile.
So, I go in. And he said to me:

1893
02:35:22,200 --> 02:35:25,955
well, don't be surprised
but they're afraid of you.

1894
02:35:26,120 --> 02:35:28,236
And I understand them, yes I do.

1895
02:35:28,400 --> 02:35:33,156
Bon appetite, comrades,

1896
02:35:33,320 --> 02:35:37,154
don't know about the bad ones,
they were perhaps atonal.

1897
02:35:37,960 --> 02:35:41,271
-What's up, neighbour...
Castle OkoF.

1898
02:35:41,440 --> 02:35:45,434
...is the pork tasty?

1899
02:35:46,440 --> 02:35:52,311
Is the pork tasty...?

1900
02:35:53,000 --> 02:35:56,072
Suddenly switches to gis dur...

1901
02:35:59,080 --> 02:36:02,436
Comrade Matey...

1902
02:36:04,320 --> 02:36:06,197
Red-capped Stalk.

1903
02:36:06,360 --> 02:36:09,113
It's a forlorn battle with
the material but music it is -

1904
02:36:09,280 --> 02:36:15,993
No pork, I had goose

1905
02:36:17,160 --> 02:36:23,111
with ten crowns added on,

1906
02:36:24,080 --> 02:36:28,358
albeit it's in F dur and
he puts it down

1907
02:36:29,040 --> 02:36:34,319
in complex fashion as Eis dur,
that's Janééek... in fact...

1908
02:36:36,200 --> 02:36:39,192
And he repeats it.

1909
02:36:44,400 --> 02:36:48,280
Even the repetition
is Janééek like...

1910
02:36:49,040 --> 02:36:55,275
I'd still like to get
to that speech by Gottwald.

1911
02:36:56,120 --> 02:36:58,396
Comrade Pimper is there.

1912
02:36:59,200 --> 02:37:03,433
The comrades really have
gorgeous names - comrade Matey,

1913
02:37:04,080 --> 02:37:09,109
Pimper, Swell,
comrade Diligent.

1914
02:37:11,440 --> 02:37:13,431
Do you realise who Lukeé is?

1915
02:37:14,080 --> 02:37:16,356
Is he a lunatic or
is he a great poet?

1916
02:37:17,080 --> 02:37:18,991
Castle Klima.

1917
02:37:19,160 --> 02:37:24,189
I think, above all,
that he is an outsider who

1918
02:37:24,360 --> 02:37:27,239
even in his outsiderism
is a failure.

1919
02:37:27,400 --> 02:37:32,429
Every one of his new works
is a failure of an outsider.

1920
02:37:33,080 --> 02:37:36,960
Because he would wish to be
an outsider at all times,

1921
02:37:37,120 --> 02:37:42,320
never wanted to be an artist,

1922
02:37:43,000 --> 02:37:45,958
did not want to be a scientist,
did not want to be anything but

1923
02:37:46,120 --> 02:37:53,311
feels the need, so, he becomes
the artist and the scientist.

1924
02:37:53,960 --> 02:37:56,270
Do you think he is
the Stalinist of the opera?

1925
02:37:56,440 --> 02:38:01,435
No way. These things
go completely by him.

1926
02:38:03,320 --> 02:38:08,190
I take him as a mystificator.
As far as the music is concerned.

1927
02:38:08,360 --> 02:38:13,309
The impulse came from his
literary activities and so forth.

1928
02:38:14,000 --> 02:38:16,037
Which in a way are mystifying.

1929
02:38:16,200 --> 02:38:19,272
And suddenly it has been shown
that it isn't mystifying at all

1930
02:38:19,440 --> 02:38:27,279
because, as I see it now,
and as MLKlusék puts it,

1931
02:38:29,320 --> 02:38:32,312
he struggles
with his material in vain.

1932
02:38:32,960 --> 02:38:36,237
And really as an artist,
scientist and thinker

1933
02:38:36,400 --> 02:38:39,153
he fails above all.

1934
02:38:41,080 --> 02:38:47,156
So, he didn't succeed
with his mystification

1935
02:38:47,320 --> 02:38:50,039
nor trying to avoid it.

1936
02:38:50,200 --> 02:38:53,955
Yep, but linearally
ifs also a note-stave.

1937
02:38:54,120 --> 02:38:59,069
Here we could
all disperse in various ways...

1938
02:39:01,160 --> 02:39:03,436
Careful,
Karel don't step on them...

1939
02:39:04,080 --> 02:39:07,232
...because firstly we'll film
with MrHélek, the composer.

1940
02:39:07,400 --> 02:39:10,392
For he will create a composition
based on the mushroom he found.

1941
02:39:11,080 --> 02:39:14,072
In order that Toméé can still
learn to play the composition.

1942
02:39:14,440 --> 02:39:18,070
So, where
is the Bearded Milk-cap?

1943
02:39:18,240 --> 02:39:22,438
I have found a kind which I have
made a composition on already...

1944
02:39:23,120 --> 02:39:25,236
Fly Agaric. Haéek.

1945
02:39:25,400 --> 02:39:28,438
Sometimes I form 2 compositions
according to one kind.

1946
02:39:29,000 --> 02:39:31,310
Thereby, sit down
with the mushroom and compose.

1947
02:39:32,000 --> 02:39:35,311
I will try.
Right in front of you.

1948
02:39:37,080 --> 02:39:39,959
I don't understand
anything anymore.

1949
02:39:40,120 --> 02:39:46,389
I believe that behind every
mushroom is a hidden idea

1950
02:39:47,040 --> 02:39:51,273
which is implanted
into every type, and

1951
02:39:51,440 --> 02:39:56,116
I do it by using all means
at my disposal that

1952
02:39:56,280 --> 02:39:59,936
I plead for Him to pass on to me
and try to learn the idea

1953
02:39:59,960 --> 02:40:02,190
I plead for Him to pass on to me
and try to learn the idea

1954
02:40:02,360 --> 02:40:09,437
behind each mushroom
and transform it into music.

1955
02:40:10,080 --> 02:40:15,075
When I am under the impression
that I should create a film,

1956
02:40:15,240 --> 02:40:17,993
I try to listen to myself
as I'm aware

1957
02:40:18,160 --> 02:40:19,355
that I can't get there
just with my mind.

1958
02:40:20,040 --> 02:40:23,237
That it is inside.
A human being listens to

1959
02:40:23,400 --> 02:40:27,155
the heart of being.
Do you also have it?

1960
02:40:27,320 --> 02:40:32,235
Yes, I do. It's unusual for
me as ifs completely original

1961
02:40:32,400 --> 02:40:38,237
because, naturally, music
should not repeat itself,

1962
02:40:38,400 --> 02:40:41,950
in another words when people are
born they're completely original

1963
02:40:42,120 --> 02:40:45,192
although they speak like
their ancestors but they have

1964
02:40:45,360 --> 02:40:47,954
a totally different mission.

1965
02:40:48,120 --> 02:40:50,111
With mushrooms
I think it's also like that.

1966
02:40:50,280 --> 02:40:52,999
-That they have a mission.
-Yes, a kind of mission.

1967
02:40:53,160 --> 02:40:58,394
In practice then you sit down
to it, well let's do that.

1968
02:40:59,040 --> 02:41:04,069
You mentioned you put your head
to the mushroom and hear music.

1969
02:41:04,240 --> 02:41:06,231
-Is that so'?
-Correct,

1970
02:41:06,400 --> 02:41:14,400
but I have to concentrate
a little while to hear it.

1971
02:41:57,040 --> 02:42:02,399
Those are pine roots
which are filled

1972
02:42:03,080 --> 02:42:07,313
by symbiotic mushrooms called
mycorisms which we collect

1973
02:42:08,000 --> 02:42:10,958
and it grows above ground
and what's below is unseen.

1974
02:42:11,120 --> 02:42:12,315
And that mushroom
has symbiosis...

1975
02:42:13,000 --> 02:42:16,197
varnished Con k.
Toénik Castle.

1976
02:42:16,360 --> 02:42:20,069
...with commonly so-called
fertile undergrowth.

1977
02:42:20,240 --> 02:42:23,312
That means mushrooms
are everywhere under ground.

1978
02:42:24,000 --> 02:42:27,231
Trees and their roots all over
the forest are linked

1979
02:42:27,400 --> 02:42:30,279
by fertile undergrowth
of these mushrooms,

1980
02:42:30,440 --> 02:42:36,197
so trees are able to pass on
nutrients, water and,

1981
02:42:36,360 --> 02:42:38,033
in effect, communicate.

1982
02:42:38,200 --> 02:42:41,192
The whole forest is a continuum
linked by this fertile ground.

1983
02:42:41,360 --> 02:42:44,159
Zebrék castle.
Horse Mushroom.

1984
02:42:44,320 --> 02:42:49,110
Our world seems to be
linked with mushrooms.

1985
02:42:49,280 --> 02:42:54,036
Well, I can imagine that trees
grow with roots upside down.

1986
02:42:54,200 --> 02:42:57,238
But I have to interpret
the scientific results

1987
02:42:57,400 --> 02:43:00,040
in order
not to falsify my findings.

1988
02:43:00,200 --> 02:43:05,354
You did say that
when a seed drops the tree

1989
02:43:06,040 --> 02:43:10,113
then, somehow, connects it to
that system the mushrooms have.

1990
02:43:10,280 --> 02:43:15,992
Well, the fertile undergrowth
which we don't see

1991
02:43:16,160 --> 02:43:20,279
until we dig it up, creates
various structures on the roots

1992
02:43:20,440 --> 02:43:25,389
which form the mushrooms
as well as micro-organisms.

1993
02:43:29,400 --> 02:43:33,997
When the seed falls on to the
ground and starts to germinate

1994
02:43:34,160 --> 02:43:39,234
it links up
to the existing net.

1995
02:43:39,400 --> 02:43:44,236
Y'see a picture of mycorismic
symbiosis of this relationship

1996
02:43:44,400 --> 02:43:49,952
whereby that imposing tree can
be tied to the little tree

1997
02:43:50,120 --> 02:43:53,033
and is really feeding him.

1998
02:43:56,240 --> 02:43:59,232
I'm from the
Faculty of Natural Sciences and

1999
02:43:59,400 --> 02:44:02,358
I am part of the project

2000
02:44:03,040 --> 02:44:08,160
having been able to co-operate
with a U.S.University, and NASA,

2001
02:44:08,360 --> 02:44:15,278
and the aim of the project
is to find out

2002
02:44:15,440 --> 02:44:19,149
whether it would be possible
to use satellite photos

2003
02:44:19,320 --> 02:44:25,111
to exactly determine
the condition of the forest...

2004
02:44:27,280 --> 02:44:30,193
It's stuck there now.

2005
02:44:31,240 --> 02:44:34,198
Somebody will have to climb up.

2006
02:44:34,320 --> 02:44:36,311
King Bolete.

2007
02:44:37,000 --> 02:44:43,155
Director,
prepare to save our pliers...

2008
02:44:43,960 --> 02:44:47,430
We would have to cut
the tree down...

2009
02:44:48,120 --> 02:44:50,430
and we'd have science
causing all sorts of damage.

2010
02:44:51,120 --> 02:44:53,316
To save going into the terrain

2011
02:44:53,960 --> 02:44:59,990
to detect the actual state
of the forest.

2012
02:45:00,160 --> 02:45:04,950
Best really to pull the pliers
along the trunk...

2013
02:45:05,120 --> 02:45:08,033
The volume of information
is horrifying and scientists

2014
02:45:08,200 --> 02:45:13,070
ask philosophers to condense.
But I have the impression that

2015
02:45:13,240 --> 02:45:18,360
philosophy has blown
this chance by now.

2016
02:45:19,000 --> 02:45:23,392
It's that cosmos, NASA,
in a well in Vysoéina...

2017
02:45:24,040 --> 02:45:28,113
-Your little picture...
-It's at your disposal.

2018
02:45:36,040 --> 02:45:39,351
The picture will just dissolve
that teeny bit

2019
02:45:40,000 --> 02:45:45,200
like our M.P. Dostél dissolved
before we put him into the bulb.

2020
02:45:47,320 --> 02:45:54,317
It is urgent today to begin with
Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

2021
02:45:55,000 --> 02:45:59,949
That's the basis of knowledge at
the end of the twentieth century.

2022
02:46:00,120 --> 02:46:04,034
And ifs splendid when
a mathematician,

2023
02:46:04,200 --> 02:46:07,352
physicist, chemist
or simply a natural scientist,

2024
02:46:08,040 --> 02:46:13,433
a biologist has greater and
greater desire during his life

2025
02:46:14,080 --> 02:46:18,199
-to engage in wider problems...
-T;'/|"'ov Castle.

2026
02:46:18,360 --> 02:46:21,955
...which do not involve
only his own discipline.

2027
02:46:22,160 --> 02:46:24,231
You are the President
of the Academy of Sciences.

2028
02:46:24,400 --> 02:46:28,439
Rudolf Zahradnik.
-Fly Agaric.

2029
02:46:29,400 --> 02:46:34,031
As long as you do not call me
prima ballerina or Mr. President

2030
02:46:34,200 --> 02:46:36,111
then everything will be fine.

2031
02:46:36,280 --> 02:46:40,069
So don't get confused - there
is also Bishop Zahradnik here.

2032
02:46:40,240 --> 02:46:43,119
In Finland they
did something smart.

2033
02:46:43,280 --> 02:46:48,400
At a time when their economy was
in a state of torpor

2034
02:46:49,080 --> 02:46:52,994
they didn't go and say:
we'll cut the arts,

2035
02:46:53,040 --> 02:46:57,318
we'll cut the sciences, quite
the reverse they funded science,

2036
02:46:57,960 --> 02:47:04,991
gave it a massive boost and
3 years having gone by Finland

2037
02:47:05,160 --> 02:47:10,394
has one of the biggest GNP's
in the whole of Scandinavia.

2038
02:47:11,040 --> 02:47:19,040
Which is a great success which
seemed unimaginable.

2039
02:47:20,160 --> 02:47:26,429
Unfortunately, we don't have the
guts at a time of lame successes,

2040
02:47:27,120 --> 02:47:32,399
or even obvious
economic failures,

2041
02:47:33,040 --> 02:47:38,114
to make at least
a little impression on the world

2042
02:47:38,280 --> 02:47:43,275
through hi-tech manufacturing
which corresponds to the end

2043
02:47:43,440 --> 02:47:47,195
of the 20th century and does
not destroy the environment.

2044
02:47:47,280 --> 02:47:53,231
For that you need a great mass
of people whose brains are tops

2045
02:47:53,400 --> 02:47:57,030
and their education
wide-ranging and thorough.

2046
02:47:57,240 --> 02:48:03,156
To this end it's necessary to
challenge the Czech population.

2047
02:48:03,320 --> 02:48:09,191
I regret that
the situation has arisen

2048
02:48:09,360 --> 02:48:14,116
when a respected politician
cannot dare to say openly

2049
02:48:14,280 --> 02:48:19,150
on TV, in the newspapers
or on the radio:

2050
02:48:19,320 --> 02:48:24,440
dear citizens, do not be angry
at me but one must not lie.

2051
02:48:25,120 --> 02:48:29,398
One must not steal. In the modern
world it's called tunnelling.

2052
02:48:30,040 --> 02:48:34,273
Frauds are out of the
question and I'm telling you -

2053
02:48:34,440 --> 02:48:38,399
those who engage in this
will be caught by the Police,

2054
02:48:39,080 --> 02:48:43,313
investigated, given over to the
courts and condemned.

2055
02:48:44,200 --> 02:48:49,274
But the notion that it'd be on
to begin by studying philosophy

2056
02:48:49,440 --> 02:48:54,116
and here and then
catch up on knowledge...

2057
02:48:54,320 --> 02:48:57,233
The method of collecting
branches varies. It is possible

2058
02:48:57,400 --> 02:49:02,395
to use a small calibre gun or
these kind of pliers.

2059
02:49:03,040 --> 02:49:05,429
Plant physiologist
Doctor Albrechtové

2060
02:49:06,080 --> 02:49:08,356
and microbiologist
Doctor Vosétka.

2061
02:49:09,040 --> 02:49:12,271
...and I pull now
and the branch falls down.

2062
02:49:12,440 --> 02:49:18,356
We have got hold of one branch
from the top of the tree

2063
02:49:19,040 --> 02:49:21,350
and we can observe
how the buds look.

2064
02:49:21,400 --> 02:49:24,392
We see
how the buds look cut open.

2065
02:49:25,080 --> 02:49:27,356
We have out them with a razor.

2066
02:49:28,160 --> 02:49:33,360
Well, it's a similar story these
days with scientists and artists.

2067
02:49:34,000 --> 02:49:37,994
The time when an artist
had to have a wide hat,

2068
02:49:38,160 --> 02:49:42,438
a cape and a shawl around
his neck as well as the time

2069
02:49:43,080 --> 02:49:47,438
when scientists were forgetting
umbrellas on trams has,

2070
02:49:48,080 --> 02:49:53,359
in my view, gone.

2071
02:49:54,000 --> 02:49:57,436
Here the left bud you see
is beautifully green

2072
02:49:58,080 --> 02:49:59,936
whereas this one is brown.
And this very much shows us

2073
02:49:59,960 --> 02:50:01,155
whereas this one is brown.
And this very much shows us

2074
02:50:01,320 --> 02:50:07,077
whether the netting in the buds
is healthy or dying off.

2075
02:50:07,240 --> 02:50:14,237
The ratio between the healthy
ones and the aborted ones

2076
02:50:14,400 --> 02:50:19,349
tells us about
the vitality of the trees.

2077
02:50:20,000 --> 02:50:28,000
A colour on a NASA print can
tell us the health of the buds.

2078
02:50:28,440 --> 02:50:31,034
Apart from other things.

2079
02:50:31,440 --> 02:50:34,990
-So, ifs a finished composition.
-Yes,

2080
02:50:35,160 --> 02:50:41,031
ifs a finished piece for
violin solo.

2081
02:50:41,200 --> 02:50:47,116
It is created according to
the Pink-fringed Milky.

2082
02:50:47,160 --> 02:50:53,998
It's a twin of another Milk-cap
which grows under birches...

2083
02:50:54,160 --> 02:50:58,313
Véolav Hélek
has composed a piece

2084
02:50:58,960 --> 02:51:05,229
and Toméé Vejvoda, a violinist,
will now play it.

2085
02:51:05,400 --> 02:51:10,315
Yes. Well, it's a one line
for the violin solo.

2086
02:51:10,960 --> 02:51:14,954
It is a short composition based
on the Woolly Milk-cap.

2087
02:51:21,120 --> 02:51:25,318
I am pretty uneasy when I know

2088
02:51:26,000 --> 02:51:30,995
that inside the camera
is an Eastman 35 colour film

2089
02:51:31,160 --> 02:51:36,314
and the money it costs and
eventually it will be cutout,

2090
02:51:36,960 --> 02:51:39,349
thrown away and
money down the drain.

2091
02:51:40,000 --> 02:51:46,349
I saw when Forman was here
with that Amadeus

2092
02:51:47,040 --> 02:51:54,276
he managed to get through 5000
metres daily. That's incredible.

2093
02:51:54,440 --> 02:52:00,152
I went to have a look from
the start at 8 o'clock

2094
02:52:00,320 --> 02:52:04,075
and stayed for the whole shift
until the end.

2095
02:52:04,240 --> 02:52:09,235
Then I saw it in projection.
My friends, it was brilliant.

2096
02:52:09,400 --> 02:52:13,997
If I did something like that
I'd be in the nick already,

2097
02:52:14,160 --> 02:52:18,950
and incredibly the actors
worked like the clappers.

2098
02:52:19,120 --> 02:52:23,398
He didn't take time over a detail,
half a detail... just ran it.

2099
02:52:24,080 --> 02:52:29,154
Whole, half a whole, detail,
big detail and then the reverse.

2100
02:52:29,320 --> 02:52:35,191
Out of 8000 Romanies who lived
in Czech lands before the war

2101
02:52:35,360 --> 02:52:39,354
less than a tenth returned.

2102
02:52:40,040 --> 02:52:45,433
Half of those people imprisoned
in Lety and Hodoninek

2103
02:52:46,120 --> 02:52:49,033
were transported
to concentration camps.

2104
02:52:49,200 --> 02:52:52,318
A part in this played
Protectorate offices,

2105
02:52:52,960 --> 02:52:56,396
uniformed and
plain-clothes police,

2106
02:52:57,080 --> 02:53:01,074
not Czech but Protectorate
Police, criminal institutions

2107
02:53:01,240 --> 02:53:06,030
in which mainly ethnic Czechs
worked, but also Germans.

2108
02:53:06,200 --> 02:53:11,115
They were criminal orgs. and, as
such, declared by the Beneé govt.

2109
02:53:11,280 --> 02:53:14,398
And we have nothing to solve
or to apologise for.

2110
02:53:15,080 --> 02:53:18,152
Only that after the war we did
not punish those people properly.

2111
02:53:18,320 --> 02:53:22,234
-And we didn't punish them.
-Well, we should not expel them.

2112
02:53:22,400 --> 02:53:26,189
-He's talking about institutions.
-I am talking about those Czechs

2113
02:53:26,360 --> 02:53:31,355
who acted against the Romanies
those should have been punished.

2114
02:53:33,200 --> 02:53:40,197
I'd like to bring in Ivan. About
something completely different.

2115
02:53:40,360 --> 02:53:47,391
He told me a story about how in
the 50's Romanies were moved

2116
02:53:48,080 --> 02:53:54,429
in locked carriages
from Slovakia like merchandise.

2117
02:53:55,080 --> 02:54:02,077
It wasn't from Slovakia but from
the Hungarian-Romanian border

2118
02:54:02,240 --> 02:54:08,430
and, specifically, concerned
building workers.

2119
02:54:09,080 --> 02:54:14,234
After nationalisation my father
had to go and work

2120
02:54:14,400 --> 02:54:20,271
in a different county from where
he used to have his shop,

2121
02:54:20,440 --> 02:54:24,229
he worked as a clerical worker
on the construction of Fléje.

2122
02:54:24,400 --> 02:54:31,033
He was a warehouseman who had
to take in all kinds of goods.

2123
02:54:31,200 --> 02:54:38,038
One day he received notification
to pick up workers

2124
02:54:38,200 --> 02:54:43,070
at the railway station and asked
how many. They answered:

2125
02:54:43,240 --> 02:54:50,033
nobody knows as they are sealed
inside the carriages and

2126
02:54:51,240 --> 02:54:55,359
their number will be ascertained
from the delivery note.

2127
02:54:56,000 --> 02:55:01,074
So, that was the way. They were
found accommodation

2128
02:55:01,240 --> 02:55:08,271
in Fléje village where the
Germans had been deported from.

2129
02:55:08,440 --> 02:55:13,355
The dam had just
begun to be built.

2130
02:55:14,040 --> 02:55:21,993
Of course, the workers who came
went in all directions

2131
02:55:22,160 --> 02:55:28,156
having got hold of some
cattle and wagons and left.

2132
02:55:28,320 --> 02:55:35,238
Mostly probably to Germany.
But I am just giving an example

2133
02:55:35,400 --> 02:55:39,314
how the Romany ethnic minority
was treated after the war.

2134
02:55:40,000 --> 02:55:44,073
And not only after the war.
I also have information that

2135
02:55:44,240 --> 02:55:47,039
during the normal communist
times in the Czech lands

2136
02:55:47,200 --> 02:55:51,080
when they were at
a loss near Varnsdorf,

2137
02:55:51,240 --> 02:55:54,995
the local Council Chairman
got hold of cattle-trucks

2138
02:55:55,160 --> 02:56:00,997
and sent local Romanies
to Slovakia as if back home.

2139
02:56:01,160 --> 02:56:04,312
Sorry to butt in. If you see it
in this context then

2140
02:56:04,960 --> 02:56:08,078
you still think that it is
completely a marginal problem...

2141
02:56:08,240 --> 02:56:10,436
You don't listen
what others are saying.

2142
02:56:11,120 --> 02:56:13,316
Nobody said that
this is secondary.

2143
02:56:14,000 --> 02:56:17,391
But they are no more important
than the things you mention.

2144
02:56:18,080 --> 02:56:20,071
But the question is
what is really important.

2145
02:56:20,240 --> 02:56:24,199
You cannot underestimate
anything that was part

2146
02:56:24,360 --> 02:56:28,433
of the existence
of the society at that time.

2147
02:56:29,120 --> 02:56:32,192
We are the carriers of the past
as well as the future.

2148
02:56:32,360 --> 02:56:38,072
What Dejmal is saying, what Uhl
is saying, what you are saying,

2149
02:56:38,240 --> 02:56:45,158
what Polék is saying, what Jana
says, is of one context.

2150
02:56:45,320 --> 02:56:49,200
Although the justice system
is up the spout

2151
02:56:49,360 --> 02:56:53,194
I don't want to suggest
it is unimportant.

2152
02:56:53,360 --> 02:56:56,239
It is of the same importance
as to what you are saying

2153
02:56:56,400 --> 02:56:59,233
or that Polék looks at it
from his anarchistic angle.

2154
02:56:59,400 --> 02:57:02,358
It was claimed here that it is
being artificially politicised.

2155
02:57:03,000 --> 02:57:06,072
It was being politicised
in Parliament, wasn't it?

2156
02:57:06,240 --> 02:57:11,110
The wall in Usti is being
politicised, damn it!

2157
02:57:11,280 --> 02:57:14,955
The thing is whether people
accept the politicisation,

2158
02:57:15,120 --> 02:57:17,316
play the political game
with them

2159
02:57:17,960 --> 02:57:22,989
or we send them up the creek
and sort it as we think fit.

2160
02:57:23,160 --> 02:57:27,358
The President gives clemency and
it becomes fucking politicised.

2161
02:57:28,000 --> 02:57:33,200
He will never swallow
the fact that

2162
02:57:33,360 --> 02:57:38,389
the State isn't the one that
governs but the one that serves.

2163
02:57:39,040 --> 02:57:44,399
The citizen is the client.

2164
02:57:45,040 --> 02:57:48,317
One dead State Minister
but no cop goes to jail...

2165
02:57:48,960 --> 02:57:54,034
I say we always magnify those
shits, they are damn yellow.

2166
02:57:54,200 --> 02:57:57,158
I worked at the Interior
for over a year.

2167
02:57:57,320 --> 02:57:59,994
So, I know what cowards they are
and when you bare your teeth

2168
02:58:00,160 --> 02:58:01,992
they shit in their pants.

2169
02:58:02,160 --> 02:58:06,154
Big whole, smaller whole, half
a whole, detail, half a detail...

2170
02:58:06,320 --> 02:58:11,394
And those actors ticked over
like a Swiss watch.

2171
02:58:12,080 --> 02:58:16,039
But there are dissidents who
drank out of the trough

2172
02:58:16,200 --> 02:58:18,191
because they started
to enjoy power.

2173
02:58:19,280 --> 02:58:27,119
Even if they gave me three times
the material I couldn't use it.

2174
02:58:30,360 --> 02:58:33,034
Dear Ruml just began to play
the political game

2175
02:58:33,200 --> 02:58:36,397
instead of being an official.
And let Secret Police agents

2176
02:58:37,080 --> 02:58:39,276
work for the Interior
instead of sticking to his task.

2177
02:58:39,440 --> 02:58:43,195
Even if they shot me up that's
the risk, fuck, well isn't it?

2178
02:58:44,040 --> 02:58:48,034
It is easy to join something

2179
02:58:48,200 --> 02:58:51,238
but responsibility is that I may
get a kicking as a result.

2180
02:58:51,400 --> 02:58:55,030
I may have qualms about Havel,
but he is the President who is

2181
02:58:55,200 --> 02:59:00,070
authorised to pardon, we can
have varied views on this but

2182
02:59:00,240 --> 02:59:05,360
he takes it by the horn, makes a
decision and risks being accused.

2183
02:59:06,040 --> 02:59:07,269
It's like he asks for
another small attentat.

2184
02:59:07,320 --> 02:59:13,430
I'll put on a shirt
which is hanging up there.

2185
02:59:19,200 --> 02:59:22,989
You know what's what,
I'm rather clumsy.

2186
02:59:23,160 --> 02:59:25,356
Well, MrFoglar, let's dress!

2187
02:59:29,280 --> 02:59:34,309
Let's not get it creased.
Put the other arm in.

2188
02:59:35,000 --> 02:59:40,393
I got the shirts made, so, I
didn't have to button them.

2189
02:59:41,320 --> 02:59:43,311
Jan's Castle.

2190
02:59:52,240 --> 02:59:55,392
"Graduation in November" should
have been the name of the film.

2191
02:59:56,080 --> 02:59:59,936
Students wrote me
several letters.

2192
02:59:59,960 --> 03:00:00,119
Students wrote me
several letters.

2193
03:00:00,280 --> 03:00:02,954
Help us, help us - please.

2194
03:00:03,120 --> 03:00:09,196
For me to visit Ceské Tfebové,
the High School, students.

2195
03:00:09,240 --> 03:00:14,235
The scull is made of plaster and
can be bought for 340 crowns.

2196
03:00:14,400 --> 03:00:18,075
The Stalinist Headmaster
persecuted them there.

2197
03:00:18,240 --> 03:00:22,313
MrStanislav Penc. I wanted him
to be here but he didn't come,

2198
03:00:22,960 --> 03:00:26,271
he doesn't wish being seen
by the Police.

2199
03:00:26,440 --> 03:00:33,119
Andre j Stankovif: told us that
they've beaten Mr. Penc up twice,

2200
03:00:33,280 --> 03:00:36,079
so they might do it
a third time.

2201
03:00:39,400 --> 03:00:42,358
I think I understand that.

2202
03:00:43,000 --> 03:00:50,157
The explanation
is that he is like a square peg

2203
03:00:51,280 --> 03:00:54,159
in a round hole as far as their
idea of a solid citizen.

2204
03:00:54,320 --> 03:00:56,994
Simply in their eyes
he is not a decent citizen.

2205
03:00:57,160 --> 03:01:00,437
If he was decent, firstly,
he wouldn't be in a pub

2206
03:01:01,080 --> 03:01:06,029
with an Indian who looks like a
Gypsy, wouldn't have long hair,

2207
03:01:06,200 --> 03:01:10,159
and, secondly, wouldn't walk
down a street with some Romany.

2208
03:01:10,320 --> 03:01:13,438
Decent people just don't do this
and, therefore, it's necessary

2209
03:01:14,120 --> 03:01:19,149
to find out his identity and if
he objects and asks why,

2210
03:01:19,320 --> 03:01:21,436
then he'll get a walloping.

2211
03:01:22,120 --> 03:01:27,035
That's the norm
and has nothing in common

2212
03:01:27,200 --> 03:01:29,396
with our lives in supposedly
democratic times and

2213
03:01:30,040 --> 03:01:32,236
that prior there was some
undemocratic regime here.

2214
03:01:32,400 --> 03:01:36,155
It's a Police stereotype which
we haven't coped with.

2215
03:01:36,320 --> 03:01:43,078
In Germany they have managed to
a large extent to overcome this

2216
03:01:43,240 --> 03:01:45,197
thanks to the post-war trauma.

2217
03:01:45,360 --> 03:01:48,990
To a lesser extent they
have coped in Italy or Spain.

2218
03:01:49,120 --> 03:01:52,033
They gave him a hiding not
because he is Stanislav Penc

2219
03:01:52,200 --> 03:01:57,991
but because he's like a hippy
and further what makes it worse

2220
03:01:58,160 --> 03:02:02,119
that he behaves with confidence.
Doesn't run away, doesn't hide,

2221
03:02:02,280 --> 03:02:05,989
and acts like a decent citizen.

2222
03:02:06,160 --> 03:02:09,232
Thus, he sorely irritates
the beat Policeman and

2223
03:02:09,400 --> 03:02:13,189
gets a bigger hiding
than the ordinary long-hair.

2224
03:02:13,360 --> 03:02:17,991
I also have experience
of being an irritant for them.

2225
03:02:18,160 --> 03:02:22,154
He is known in the media,
the Policemen know him,

2226
03:02:22,320 --> 03:02:27,076
is on the skins' blacklist like
Petr Uhl used to be with others.

2227
03:02:27,240 --> 03:02:30,392
Therefore,
I wouldn't lighten the fact

2228
03:02:31,040 --> 03:02:35,352
that Policemen don't know
who they've beaten.

2229
03:02:37,120 --> 03:02:40,397
And they made the revolution.

2230
03:02:41,080 --> 03:02:45,278
I think what a beautiful film
it could be. I understood that

2231
03:02:45,440 --> 03:02:51,436
it could be like the "Higher
Principle" that I made earlier.

2232
03:02:52,080 --> 03:02:59,396
I thought I'll take a recorder
and record what they're saying.

2233
03:03:00,080 --> 03:03:02,230
But that's nonsense -
we'll take a camera.

2234
03:03:02,280 --> 03:03:05,989
I wanted the TV with us -

2235
03:03:06,160 --> 03:03:11,075
they said that Krejéik
has gone nuts, bonkers.

2236
03:03:11,240 --> 03:03:14,278
Doesn't have even a script
and already wants a camera.

2237
03:03:14,440 --> 03:03:18,195
I'd be quite interested who is
unacceptable for the Police,

2238
03:03:18,360 --> 03:03:22,115
what an acceptable or an
unacceptable person looks like,

2239
03:03:22,280 --> 03:03:24,078
and where can you find
an acceptable

2240
03:03:24,240 --> 03:03:26,072
or an unacceptable person.

2241
03:03:26,240 --> 03:03:30,029
Because all this happened
in various situations.

2242
03:03:30,200 --> 03:03:36,151
It is not about
Standa nor anybody well known.

2243
03:03:36,320 --> 03:03:41,235
It's about the attitudes
people from the State apparatus.

2244
03:03:44,080 --> 03:03:47,038
For whom is the Police here for?

2245
03:03:47,200 --> 03:03:50,272
In that lies
the crux of the problem.

2246
03:03:50,360 --> 03:03:56,038
-I want to put the tie on now.
-Hang on, I'll give you the tie

2247
03:03:57,160 --> 03:04:00,198
but you have
to tie it yourself.

2248
03:04:02,000 --> 03:04:04,992
-Do you want a mirror?
-No, I know by heart!

2249
03:04:05,160 --> 03:04:07,276
Well, I am curious to see.

2250
03:04:07,440 --> 03:04:11,229
I have done this all my life,
one, two, three...

2251
03:04:11,400 --> 03:04:14,392
It was an interesting tale

2252
03:04:15,040 --> 03:04:20,160
how sixteen seventeen year olds
made a velvet revolution.

2253
03:04:20,320 --> 03:04:25,998
But they were sincere. Truly.
Those things appeared later.

2254
03:04:26,160 --> 03:04:28,037
So, I filmed it.

2255
03:04:28,200 --> 03:04:31,431
Then the TV producer, MrSmetana,
a communist, came and said:

2256
03:04:32,120 --> 03:04:37,240
what are you doing here, you are
putting them in the stocks.

2257
03:04:37,400 --> 03:04:42,998
I putting them in the stocks'?
They managed to do it themselves.

2258
03:04:43,160 --> 03:04:48,280
I pondered that if I drove this
person to death in half a day,

2259
03:04:48,440 --> 03:04:55,198
perhaps I could persecute
a few more communists,

2260
03:04:55,360 --> 03:05:00,036
that would be a meritable act
if it succeeded.

2261
03:05:02,080 --> 03:05:09,953
That I possess such
a terrifying magical power.

2262
03:05:11,080 --> 03:05:17,395
But I realised that when
I kissed and embraced

2263
03:05:18,160 --> 03:05:20,436
someone he died soon afterwards.

2264
03:05:21,120 --> 03:05:23,157
Imagine, he died.

2265
03:05:25,360 --> 03:05:30,355
Like the Director
of the Film Studios, Guntler.

2266
03:05:31,320 --> 03:05:37,316
I embraced him and he left for
Yugoslavia, a disaster followed,

2267
03:05:37,960 --> 03:05:44,957
I hadn't an inkling, suddenly
at night someone is at the door,

2268
03:05:45,120 --> 03:05:49,079
and I go and open up and the
Director is there and says:

2269
03:05:49,240 --> 03:05:53,313
"| am in a hurry,
I have no time.

2270
03:05:53,960 --> 03:05:59,160
But you can rely on me,
I'll put those things right."

2271
03:05:59,320 --> 03:06:06,078
Later I realised it happened
at half past two in the morning

2272
03:06:06,240 --> 03:06:10,393
and the guy died
at the same time.

2273
03:06:11,080 --> 03:06:14,311
The accident happened
near Zagreb.

2274
03:06:14,960 --> 03:06:19,272
It was his ghost and bad
conscience which made him say:

2275
03:06:19,440 --> 03:06:24,150
"I'll put it right,
rely on me." Then hurried away.

2276
03:06:24,320 --> 03:06:26,391
In that mo' he was already dead.

2277
03:06:33,160 --> 03:06:39,111
We've gone completely astray.
The tie is much too short.

2278
03:06:39,280 --> 03:06:43,239
We'll start again
MrFoglar, can't be helped.

2279
03:06:45,240 --> 03:06:49,234
I would help you but
I don't know how. Wait, now.

2280
03:06:50,120 --> 03:06:54,432
It's meant sincerely
and grapho-manically.

2281
03:06:55,080 --> 03:06:57,230
M r. Borecky,
have you found that...

2282
03:06:57,400 --> 03:07:02,236
It's meant sincerely
and grapho-manically because

2283
03:07:02,400 --> 03:07:07,952
he somehow felt sub-consciously
that he shouldn't be an artist.

2284
03:07:08,360 --> 03:07:14,231
That's why he turned to music
in which his ability was poorest.

2285
03:07:15,320 --> 03:07:18,233
In order to have
the most difficult hurdles.

2286
03:07:18,400 --> 03:07:22,997
Like Péguy said: human is the
only living creature in Nature

2287
03:07:23,160 --> 03:07:24,434
who puts hurdles in front
of his own making.

2288
03:07:25,120 --> 03:07:30,274
How many instruments were there,
did he not enrich the orchestra?

2289
03:07:30,440 --> 03:07:38,440
With a full score of which only
the torso of the opera "Weekend"

2290
03:07:39,280 --> 03:07:41,032
has survived.

2291
03:07:41,200 --> 03:07:45,080
It's a classical instrumentation,
or did he add a few?

2292
03:07:49,280 --> 03:07:56,038
There is another Stalinist opera
for individual instruments.

2293
03:08:00,960 --> 03:08:06,194
He wrote 36 operas,
13 symphonies and a requiem.

2294
03:08:07,040 --> 03:08:15,040
The strange thing is that Vonts
are a form of totalitarianism.

2295
03:08:16,400 --> 03:08:19,153
I felt a certain
apprehension with them...

2296
03:08:20,200 --> 03:08:24,273
-You know, those yellow pins.
-It was a book...

2297
03:08:24,440 --> 03:08:32,440
They always ask for Maihak
or Losna as their leader.

2298
03:08:36,040 --> 03:08:41,433
Meanwhile - it still needs
fastening, please nurse -

2299
03:08:43,440 --> 03:08:50,949
to the contrary Quick Arrows
do not form any organisation.

2300
03:08:56,360 --> 03:08:59,079
You've placed those fine
mushrooms there.

2301
03:08:59,400 --> 03:09:03,439
I see it, here it is.
That's a beauty.

2302
03:09:04,160 --> 03:09:06,276
Even the grass
communicates with a tree.

2303
03:09:06,440 --> 03:09:10,399
We can prove that the tree-roots
and the grass are linked.

2304
03:09:11,080 --> 03:09:15,039
That's something!

2305
03:09:18,200 --> 03:09:24,037
Foglar writes about the Vonts
and the Quick Arrows.

2306
03:09:24,200 --> 03:09:29,036
When the Vonts pick Maénék they
can opt for fascism or communism,

2307
03:09:29,200 --> 03:09:32,158
when they take Losna
they can have democracy.

2308
03:09:32,360 --> 03:09:38,390
Quick Arrows never get
any Vonts committed.

2309
03:09:39,080 --> 03:09:43,358
And the Vonts have yellow pins
and Foglar foresaw exactly

2310
03:09:44,040 --> 03:09:48,034
that in a while the Jews will
put on those yellow pins.

2311
03:09:48,200 --> 03:09:52,353
Or force them to wear yellow
stars, you understand,

2312
03:09:53,000 --> 03:09:59,936
and the dispute Losna/Mainék is
cleared up in Germanised Czecho.

2313
03:09:59,960 --> 03:09:59,994
And the dispute Losna/Mainék is
cleared up in Germanised Czecho.

2314
03:10:03,040 --> 03:10:05,998
That is what no-one understands.

2315
03:10:16,040 --> 03:10:18,111
That's a hundred.

2316
03:10:21,080 --> 03:10:24,072
Karel, tape it...

2317
03:10:25,200 --> 03:10:32,391
My Czech is bad. That's a 100...
It's a 5 O00!

2318
03:10:49,160 --> 03:10:51,310
Once more!

2319
03:11:08,120 --> 03:11:10,350
It's a pleasure.

2320
03:11:17,200 --> 03:11:21,398
It's written in everything,
like that music,

2321
03:11:22,080 --> 03:11:25,436
same as the music is etched
in that mushroom then

2322
03:11:26,120 --> 03:11:32,389
history is etched in Foglar
and also in other stories,

2323
03:11:33,040 --> 03:11:35,998
and if I take your story,
dear Bishop.

2324
03:11:36,160 --> 03:11:40,040
You are a Bishop and aren't.
How come?

2325
03:11:40,200 --> 03:11:43,318
I am a bishop because I have
taken Holy Orders and

2326
03:11:43,960 --> 03:11:47,078
nobody can take that away.
It is like being christened.

2327
03:11:47,240 --> 03:11:50,153
Come here
to the clearing, bishop,

2328
03:11:50,360 --> 03:11:54,194
how come
they cannot take it away'?

2329
03:11:54,360 --> 03:11:57,273
It is like someone being
christened then

2330
03:11:57,440 --> 03:12:00,000
there is nobody that can
take away their Christianity.

2331
03:12:00,160 --> 03:12:02,310
He can only repudiate it and
no longer live according to it.

2332
03:12:03,360 --> 03:12:10,039
Whereas any form of Holy Orders
which are given

2333
03:12:10,200 --> 03:12:12,350
by an apostolic are irrevocable.

2334
03:12:13,040 --> 03:12:15,270
Bell-shaped Mottlegill.
Buchlov Castle.

2335
03:12:15,440 --> 03:12:18,319
You were a Bishop
in a secret church.

2336
03:12:19,000 --> 03:12:22,391
The secret church founded
in the 50's,

2337
03:12:23,040 --> 03:12:31,040
we extended the link after the
invasion of the Warsaw Pact

2338
03:12:31,240 --> 03:12:37,156
in 1968, and we needed to ensure
the survival of the church.

2339
03:12:37,320 --> 03:12:40,995
Because at the time they thought
up a secret campaign NORBERT

2340
03:12:41,160 --> 03:12:45,074
and for that reason it was vital
to ensure the church's survival.

2341
03:12:47,160 --> 03:12:50,278
Our Mr.Foglar cannot manage,
so, many things at once, wait.

2342
03:12:51,320 --> 03:12:55,154
A discussion and to button up
the trousers

2343
03:12:56,000 --> 03:12:58,230
and braces on at the same time.

2344
03:13:00,040 --> 03:13:03,431
I am glad
that it's this smooth...

2345
03:13:08,440 --> 03:13:11,159
Only the jacket...

2346
03:13:11,360 --> 03:13:14,159
If you could only tie up
the laces of the right shoe.

2347
03:13:14,320 --> 03:13:16,436
Tighten it.

2348
03:13:19,000 --> 03:13:23,278
It's not laced up, sorry that
I have to bother you with it.

2349
03:13:23,440 --> 03:13:26,432
Get away,
we are the ones bothering.

2350
03:13:33,160 --> 03:13:36,278
-Is it hot or cold outside?
-|t's warm.

2351
03:13:39,200 --> 03:13:41,271
Leave that unbuttoned.

2352
03:13:45,240 --> 03:13:52,033
-Secret campaign NORBERT.
-But in 1968, or rather 1969,

2353
03:13:52,200 --> 03:13:55,397
the then Minister of
the Interior perfected it

2354
03:13:56,040 --> 03:14:00,159
by wanting to exile dissidents,
leaders of the Church to Siberia,

2355
03:14:00,320 --> 03:14:02,311
or to execute them
without trial.

2356
03:14:02,960 --> 03:14:06,157
We needed to ensure
that there were more priests

2357
03:14:06,320 --> 03:14:10,029
who took Holy Orders, that
we had young members etc...

2358
03:14:10,200 --> 03:14:13,431
In opposing the NORBERT
secret campaign

2359
03:14:14,080 --> 03:14:18,995
I was chosen as a Roman Catholic
priest to be appointed as Bishop,

2360
03:14:19,160 --> 03:14:24,394
although it wasn't the custom
for the Bishop to be married.

2361
03:14:25,080 --> 03:14:28,198
There were three of us but two
relinquished their chance.

2362
03:14:28,360 --> 03:14:31,432
Well, they knew what
the consequences would be.

2363
03:14:32,120 --> 03:14:39,151
That is why I am unacceptable
for the post-revolution church.

2364
03:14:39,320 --> 03:14:42,438
Because as a married Bishop
I am first in centuries.

2365
03:14:44,320 --> 03:14:47,995
Well, it happened like this,
as the Secret Police

2366
03:14:48,160 --> 03:14:54,031
wouldn't search for the Bishop's
relics at a married priests'.

2367
03:14:54,200 --> 03:14:57,989
So, are there agents of the
Secret Police as Bishops today'?

2368
03:14:58,160 --> 03:15:01,039
Yes, there is somebody.
They are there.

2369
03:15:02,040 --> 03:15:04,156
I am combing with a mommy.

2370
03:15:04,320 --> 03:15:07,199
It's a comb
which belonged to my mother,

2371
03:15:07,360 --> 03:15:12,150
I always say that
I will comb with a mommy.

2372
03:15:12,320 --> 03:15:16,154
Because it is a comb
from my mother.

2373
03:15:19,240 --> 03:15:22,278
"Don't give Mr.Foglar medicines.
He has overdosed in the past!"

2374
03:15:22,440 --> 03:15:25,432
Priest's place is not just at
the altar. I am a Bishop

2375
03:15:26,120 --> 03:15:31,433
for gypsies, for the homeless
and for drug addicts.

2376
03:15:38,080 --> 03:15:40,356
-Mr.Zahradnik...
-That would be better...

2377
03:15:42,360 --> 03:15:44,237
Poster-gluers!

2378
03:15:48,160 --> 03:15:53,155
Advertisement is something
that wants from us

2379
03:15:53,320 --> 03:15:59,430
a purchase of an object
which we do not know.

2380
03:16:02,320 --> 03:16:06,314
I believe that the film
we are making is not an ad..

2381
03:16:10,400 --> 03:16:14,359
The watchdog of democracy.

2382
03:16:17,360 --> 03:16:22,036
That it has some sensible
purpose, more than greed.

2383
03:16:22,200 --> 03:16:25,033
Some purpose.

2384
03:16:26,320 --> 03:16:34,320
And that's a pizza with wings,
it's dry here...

2385
03:16:36,400 --> 03:16:40,155
Market economy is
a very useful thing.

2386
03:16:40,320 --> 03:16:43,119
Although it seems incredible
Antonio Dvofék

2387
03:16:43,280 --> 03:16:46,159
worked and lived in this house

2388
03:16:46,320 --> 03:16:50,075
and welcomed visitors such
as Pyotr llich Tchaikovsky.

2389
03:16:50,240 --> 03:16:55,269
Dvofék was not an unknown entity.
He was the Director

2390
03:16:55,440 --> 03:16:59,320
of the New York Conservatory and
he was offered a tenure

2391
03:16:59,960 --> 03:17:02,031
but refused and returned.

2392
03:17:02,200 --> 03:17:05,397
Feasibly hevmade more money than,
say, the Skoda factory in Pilsen

2393
03:17:06,080 --> 03:17:08,356
through
various authors' payments.

2394
03:17:09,000 --> 03:17:11,196
Is it nature or what!

2395
03:17:11,360 --> 03:17:17,197
It's nature here, for sure,
but nothing to get excited about.

2396
03:17:18,320 --> 03:17:25,192
But I don't mind as long as we
have an aim. Here are seats...

2397
03:17:26,160 --> 03:17:29,994
It is beautiful here
and horrible at the same time.

2398
03:17:30,320 --> 03:17:37,317
The TV has those pig-styes. It
forces in them 15 minute shows,

2399
03:17:38,000 --> 03:17:40,355
30 minute ones, hourly ones and

2400
03:17:41,000 --> 03:17:44,231
now it makes shows which
means that,

2401
03:17:44,400 --> 03:17:48,951
the viewer is like Pavlovs dog
ready for the next instalment.

2402
03:17:49,120 --> 03:17:56,277
Everything has to be in parts,
that is what appals me, culture.

2403
03:17:56,440 --> 03:18:01,276
It creates
directly a new reality

2404
03:18:01,440 --> 03:18:04,398
which is more real than
the actual reality.

2405
03:18:05,080 --> 03:18:07,356
Virtual reality.

2406
03:18:08,040 --> 03:18:10,395
I consider it to be
a totally false existence.

2407
03:18:11,040 --> 03:18:13,031
-But I don't want to live in it.
-Me neither.

2408
03:18:13,200 --> 03:18:18,400
But I notice that my daughter
would wish to live in an ad.,

2409
03:18:19,080 --> 03:18:23,313
she identifies
herself with a certain ad..,

2410
03:18:23,960 --> 03:18:26,190
say, of a happy family
on a beach.

2411
03:18:26,360 --> 03:18:30,194
Do you know that my son told me
he will make a soup

2412
03:18:30,360 --> 03:18:34,991
and throw a sanitary towel in
and it will soak up all the soup.

2413
03:18:35,160 --> 03:18:38,118
And that it would form an ad..
I shocked you.

2414
03:18:38,280 --> 03:18:40,430
Well, you sure got me.

2415
03:18:42,280 --> 03:18:45,079
Don't tell me such stories.

2416
03:18:49,440 --> 03:18:54,071
Vaéek in his euphoria wasn't
thinking of fine calligraphy

2417
03:18:54,240 --> 03:18:58,120
and simply wrote it in a hurry,
so, to read the notes

2418
03:18:58,280 --> 03:19:01,159
ain't that simple. I'll try...

2419
03:19:01,200 --> 03:19:05,956
Advertising means that
what we don't know we buy.

2420
03:19:06,120 --> 03:19:09,954
When we purchase
what we don't know...

2421
03:19:12,240 --> 03:19:18,350
It's like a pizza with wings.
Pizza with wings. Edges are dry.

2422
03:19:19,040 --> 03:19:24,991
-We don't understand anything.
-That is memory.

2423
03:19:28,000 --> 03:19:34,315
Memory does not show up.
And it's from advertising.

2424
03:19:35,000 --> 03:19:38,356
On this upper step...

2425
03:19:47,280 --> 03:19:54,311
Jenik you are
head over heels in love...

2426
03:20:03,000 --> 03:20:10,350
Good advice and money
are two sides of life,

2427
03:20:11,080 --> 03:20:15,313
who takes them up wisely

2428
03:20:15,960 --> 03:20:20,238
goes through life gamely.

2429
03:20:20,400 --> 03:20:27,113
Who takes them up wisely

2430
03:20:27,280 --> 03:20:33,231
goes through life gamely.

2431
03:20:42,240 --> 03:20:46,074
Now he'll receive his call-up
into the Prussian war.

2432
03:20:46,240 --> 03:20:52,316
There he defends the hillock
by Hradec and falls...

2433
03:20:53,000 --> 03:20:56,277
-And when Mafenka...
-Jenlk will be killed in action.

2434
03:20:56,440 --> 03:20:59,319
The opera has an addendum
called A Requiem For The Nun.

2435
03:21:00,000 --> 03:21:06,349
The 99 year old Mother Superior,
Marenka, is dying in a monastery

2436
03:21:07,000 --> 03:21:11,119
and Jenik appears to her
in the background

2437
03:21:11,280 --> 03:21:14,159
and is tempting her to him...

2438
03:21:17,000 --> 03:21:21,392
It ends with a fire,
the National Theatre is burning

2439
03:21:22,080 --> 03:21:26,074
and later it continues
in a new building.

2440
03:21:26,240 --> 03:21:31,235
I feel such an urgent
need for re-birth.

2441
03:21:31,400 --> 03:21:35,109
The end is only
when one destroys everything.

2442
03:21:40,160 --> 03:21:43,198
Misha is hanging
from the lime-tree and

2443
03:21:43,360 --> 03:21:46,318
flames destroy the whole stage.

2444
03:21:47,160 --> 03:21:50,994
The opera begins with desperate
Tobiéé singing into the wings,

2445
03:21:51,040 --> 03:21:55,432
what disaster to have an idiot
for a son and another a drunk.

2446
03:21:56,000 --> 03:22:01,200
Because Jenik started
to drink when he learnt

2447
03:22:01,360 --> 03:22:07,117
Maienkds baby was dying.
Baby was dying of shock

2448
03:22:07,280 --> 03:22:13,356
because Vaéek climbed through
the chimney to scare the baby...

2449
03:22:14,000 --> 03:22:18,995
I have to congratulate the Party
which gained the most votes.

2450
03:22:19,160 --> 03:22:21,436
It is sporting and fair,

2451
03:22:22,080 --> 03:22:26,039
I also have to say that
although we got loads of votes

2452
03:22:26,200 --> 03:22:31,036
it is still not enough
for something very considerable,

2453
03:22:31,200 --> 03:22:34,079
not enough for victory.

2454
03:22:34,240 --> 03:22:37,119
At the moment we will see
what a re-count brings.

2455
03:22:37,280 --> 03:22:40,432
What are your views as to how
the situation will develop?

2456
03:22:41,080 --> 03:22:44,072
First impressions
which are of interest to me

2457
03:22:44,240 --> 03:22:47,153
are slight variations
in the vote-count.

2458
03:22:47,320 --> 03:22:51,109
It can substantially shake
up possibilities which exist.

2459
03:22:51,280 --> 03:22:54,113
I went into the election
with the aim that

2460
03:22:54,280 --> 03:22:59,275
in order to stop
a left-wing takeover

2461
03:22:59,440 --> 03:23:06,119
whereby non-left Parties would
form their own coalition.

2462
03:23:07,000 --> 03:23:10,391
These possibilities on the basis
of the latest results loom.

2463
03:23:11,080 --> 03:23:14,311
And the baby was, so,
terrified it died of fright.

2464
03:23:15,000 --> 03:23:21,952
They recalled the case of Vaéek
embroiled with the comedians.

2465
03:23:22,120 --> 03:23:25,272
They preventively bring
a psychiatrist from Pilsen

2466
03:23:25,440 --> 03:23:30,992
and a horse ambulance
comes for Vaéek.

2467
03:23:31,160 --> 03:23:35,313
Vaéek cottons on that they want
to put him in a straight-jacket

2468
03:23:36,000 --> 03:23:39,152
and runs to the loft
and sets it alight.

2469
03:23:39,200 --> 03:23:46,038
All larks and tribulations
lead to nought...

2470
03:23:48,160 --> 03:23:56,160
Only love bringst joy,
provides strength and guts.

2471
03:24:03,320 --> 03:24:08,076
To tell the truth. I don't know
what being a moralist means,

2472
03:24:08,240 --> 03:24:15,397
you're saying I am for decent
manners, that's true, that I am.

2473
03:24:16,080 --> 03:24:21,075
Here I am for the first time in
my life, I've never been here.

2474
03:24:22,040 --> 03:24:24,190
When you favour decent behaviour

2475
03:24:24,360 --> 03:24:27,432
then one should train people
to behave well.

2476
03:24:28,080 --> 03:24:32,074
Yes, and that's not simple,
particularly today.

2477
03:24:33,240 --> 03:24:35,390
And those little beavers...

2478
03:24:36,360 --> 03:24:41,036
I started training when I was
13, when I thought that up.

2479
03:24:41,200 --> 03:24:44,272
It was a book called
"Lads from the Beaver River".

2480
03:24:44,440 --> 03:24:50,436
It's coming out now in its 15th
edition or something like that.

2481
03:24:53,840 --> 03:24:55,990
How did you come up with it?

2482
03:24:56,680 --> 03:25:01,629
It's imagination which
makes me a so-called writer.

2483
03:25:02,840 --> 03:25:06,834
Other people
have different talents

2484
03:25:07,000 --> 03:25:11,710
and I had some imagination.
I excelled at this at school

2485
03:25:11,880 --> 03:25:14,918
when I wrote essays
for several other lads

2486
03:25:15,560 --> 03:25:19,918
in different styles, so,
it wouldn't be noticed and,

2487
03:25:20,560 --> 03:25:26,795
the lads were grateful that they
didn't have to do any work.

2488
03:25:27,600 --> 03:25:30,718
The subjects
I don't remember any more.

2489
03:25:32,560 --> 03:25:36,758
On the theme -"Every one of us
is the architect of one's fate."

2490
03:25:36,920 --> 03:25:39,958
Nobody knew what
they should write about.

2491
03:25:40,600 --> 03:25:45,800
I wrote essays for about
five boys, homework,

2492
03:25:45,960 --> 03:25:50,955
and always that bit different,
so, no-one knew that I wrote it.

2493
03:25:51,600 --> 03:25:56,629
What architects of fortune were
the people in those essays?

2494
03:25:56,800 --> 03:26:01,829
It means that simply he always
tried to be somebody,

2495
03:26:02,000 --> 03:26:07,678
to be of public service,
to achieve something.

2496
03:26:07,840 --> 03:26:13,950
Thereby, he was the architect
of his fate. A silly theme.

2497
03:26:14,640 --> 03:26:17,917
Now imagine I wrote for
five boys at the same time and

2498
03:26:18,600 --> 03:26:23,629
always a little bit differently
as not to be found out.

2499
03:26:25,640 --> 03:26:27,597
What kind of an author are you?

2500
03:26:27,760 --> 03:26:34,951
I am a writer for young boys.
It's my main forte,

2501
03:26:35,640 --> 03:26:40,635
I write for children
but for boys rather than girls.

2502
03:26:43,680 --> 03:26:48,038
Imagine, one boy kissed my hand.
I blushed.

2503
03:26:48,680 --> 03:26:52,560
That boy was, so, happy that
I did his essay for him that

2504
03:26:52,720 --> 03:26:57,590
he kissed my hand - just imagine
a boy kissing another boy's hand.

2505
03:26:57,760 --> 03:27:02,914
That's something awful - I still
feel a little queasy today.

2506
03:27:03,560 --> 03:27:07,554
That boy was ever, so, grateful.
His name was Karel Zelniéek.

2507
03:27:07,720 --> 03:27:12,669
Today he is the boss of Olympia
Publishing. He kissed my hand...

2508
03:27:12,840 --> 03:27:16,879
Maybe it was his father.
Probably was his father.

2509
03:27:17,760 --> 03:27:20,991
As I mentioned at the hospital,

2510
03:27:22,760 --> 03:27:25,798
there were five of them:

2511
03:27:25,960 --> 03:27:32,878
Cervenéfzek, Rychlonoika, Hojer,
Duéin and Jarka Metelka.

2512
03:27:33,600 --> 03:27:38,674
Five, like a hand, these are
practical things and that

2513
03:27:38,840 --> 03:27:42,674
that organisation isn't bigger.
That it never occurs to them

2514
03:27:42,840 --> 03:27:47,038
to create a big organisation
like the Vonts with those pins.

2515
03:27:47,680 --> 03:27:50,638
Every one of them remains
a person in his own right.

2516
03:27:50,800 --> 03:27:52,632
What else can one add?

2517
03:27:52,800 --> 03:27:56,953
Well, I must admit,
I don't know what you mean.

2518
03:27:59,600 --> 03:28:04,800
Simply there were five and I
can't think of any other members.

2519
03:28:06,760 --> 03:28:10,719
But even, so, you guessed
exactly rig ht. Today.

2520
03:28:10,880 --> 03:28:12,837
Did you see
the elections today'?

2521
03:28:13,000 --> 03:28:18,678
No, I didn't.
Only listened to the radio,

2522
03:28:18,840 --> 03:28:22,993
and then the film-makers
came, meaning you...

2523
03:28:23,880 --> 03:28:29,990
Jindra Hojer, Jarka Metelka,
Mirek Duéin, Rychlonoéka...

2524
03:28:30,640 --> 03:28:32,551
Who else?

2525
03:28:33,040 --> 03:28:36,874
Don't know
any more who was the fifth.

2526
03:28:38,600 --> 03:28:41,911
But that's a real myth.

2527
03:28:42,600 --> 03:28:44,796
Yes, it has become
a kind of legend...

2528
03:29:17,840 --> 03:29:22,869
Beings have two legs...

2529
03:29:23,680 --> 03:29:27,913
And birds have too...

2530
03:29:39,560 --> 03:29:44,873
We have two legs...

2531
03:29:45,560 --> 03:29:49,679
And birds too...

2532
03:30:04,040 --> 03:30:08,671
-You have become a legend.
-I have become a legend

2533
03:30:08,840 --> 03:30:12,834
because of those books which
keep being re-printed.

2534
03:30:13,000 --> 03:30:17,676
One would think the market
must be satiated but no,

2535
03:30:17,840 --> 03:30:19,990
they keep being printed again
and again.

2536
03:30:20,640 --> 03:30:26,591
I am not against it because they
have to pay me a certain fee,

2537
03:30:26,760 --> 03:30:29,718
even though
ifs nothing to shout about.

2538
03:30:29,880 --> 03:30:32,952
You don't have film?

2539
03:30:36,560 --> 03:30:41,839
We'll go back then. I also
wanted a look over there...

2540
03:30:42,920 --> 03:30:45,719
It's too far for me.

2541
03:30:47,840 --> 03:30:50,593
When one is ninety-one,

2542
03:30:50,760 --> 03:30:54,833
if I was 30 or 40
I'd be jumping like a stag,

2543
03:30:55,000 --> 03:30:58,994
but in these circumstances
it is difficult,

2544
03:30:59,640 --> 03:31:02,712
no more jumping.

2545
03:31:05,640 --> 03:31:10,815
-Those Sharp Arrows of yours...
-Quick Arrows.

2546
03:31:10,840 --> 03:31:14,879
How did they get into uniforms
of the young Communists?

2547
03:31:15,040 --> 03:31:17,873
I don't know, those people
did it by themselves.

2548
03:31:18,040 --> 03:31:23,831
I wasn't allowed to publish, they
didn't play by Queensbury Rules

2549
03:31:24,000 --> 03:31:28,710
you know, they added their
own texts to the comics.

2550
03:31:28,880 --> 03:31:31,918
I wasn't able to stop them.

2551
03:31:36,560 --> 03:31:41,873
That means that figure which
you created or the five figures,

2552
03:31:42,560 --> 03:31:45,996
travelled on paths of
which you knew not,

2553
03:31:46,640 --> 03:31:48,631
they were influenced
by other people.

2554
03:31:48,800 --> 03:31:50,916
Exactly.
Influenced by other people,

2555
03:31:51,560 --> 03:31:55,918
I no longer had any impact
to change it one way or another.

2556
03:31:56,600 --> 03:32:00,719
That means you promoted
some kind of ethic and

2557
03:32:00,880 --> 03:32:04,555
they took the advertised
figurines and

2558
03:32:04,720 --> 03:32:07,030
fused on to them a completely
different morality.

2559
03:32:07,680 --> 03:32:09,717
Something like that.

2560
03:32:09,880 --> 03:32:13,669
But, in essence, the morality
was still all right,

2561
03:32:13,840 --> 03:32:17,913
there was nothing bad, so,
I didn't keep my trap shut.

2562
03:32:18,560 --> 03:32:22,758
That they didn't run
concentration camps...

2563
03:32:31,000 --> 03:32:34,630
-We'll squeeze through, careful.
-I won't fall.

2564
03:32:34,800 --> 03:32:37,713
-Are we going still further?
-I will carry you across.

2565
03:32:37,880 --> 03:32:40,952
No, it looks like we better
get back to the car.

2566
03:32:41,640 --> 03:32:45,759
Over there somewhere is the car?

2567
03:32:46,640 --> 03:32:49,553
Down, along that path we'll go.

2568
03:32:50,720 --> 03:32:54,600
-Where is the car?
-On the road.

2569
03:32:54,760 --> 03:32:57,673
We'll have to backtrack again...

2570
03:32:58,960 --> 03:33:04,831
Life of mine is complicated,
it's difficult to explain.

2571
03:33:05,000 --> 03:33:09,836
I have experienced things that
when I think of it at night

2572
03:33:10,000 --> 03:33:15,678
I say to myself that I had an
interesting life unlike others.

2573
03:33:15,840 --> 03:33:20,710
If it was possible I would
like to change things today.

2574
03:33:21,760 --> 03:33:24,878
It's difficult to put
these things into words.

2575
03:33:25,560 --> 03:33:29,633
Not easy to explain
certain events.

2576
03:33:29,800 --> 03:33:34,715
There was the Secret Police,
the Gestapo and so on...

2577
03:33:34,880 --> 03:33:38,669
And all that intruded
into my life.

2578
03:33:38,840 --> 03:33:43,869
I was interrogated all the time,
for example in Bartoloméjské Street,

2579
03:33:44,560 --> 03:33:51,910
they came with some photograph,
made me wait in some room and

2580
03:33:52,560 --> 03:33:59,671
suddenly stared at me
showing me a photograph

2581
03:33:59,840 --> 03:34:05,677
of 8 or 9 battered
young people and said:

2582
03:34:05,840 --> 03:34:10,710
your scouts did that,
your scouts were responsible.

2583
03:34:10,880 --> 03:34:14,760
I had to keep my gob shut
because I've been a scout

2584
03:34:14,800 --> 03:34:17,918
since I was 13 and
I've never seen anything like it.

2585
03:34:18,560 --> 03:34:20,836
Where did you get such photos?

2586
03:34:20,880 --> 03:34:24,635
It's none of your business
where we got it from.

2587
03:34:24,800 --> 03:34:30,876
There were
8 or <i>9</i> battered youngsters.

2588
03:34:32,000 --> 03:34:35,595
Where they got it from
I don't know.

2589
03:34:36,680 --> 03:34:41,675
I forget lots and when
I wake up in then morning

2590
03:34:41,840 --> 03:34:47,791
I am not sure what was a dream
and what actually happened.

2591
03:34:48,000 --> 03:34:52,756
Thus, I always remind myself how
it was during the night, so -

2592
03:34:52,920 --> 03:34:54,877
What did you dream about lately'?

2593
03:34:55,040 --> 03:34:58,829
I dreamt that I saw
a house which collapsed and

2594
03:34:59,000 --> 03:35:02,994
inside were 14 people and
they were all dead, and I saw

2595
03:35:03,640 --> 03:35:07,952
how those people got taken away
from that ruin.

2596
03:35:08,640 --> 03:35:10,790
Such stupid dreams I have.

2597
03:35:10,960 --> 03:35:14,590
What's Vé0ha|'s relationship
with Lukeé?

2598
03:35:17,960 --> 03:35:20,793
Like a blacksmith
with his apprentice.

2599
03:35:24,560 --> 03:35:27,996
He created,
published those books

2600
03:35:28,680 --> 03:35:30,990
similarly, but Véchal
did it professionally.

2601
03:35:31,640 --> 03:35:35,793
Lukeé hasn't
the erudition, craft

2602
03:35:37,560 --> 03:35:41,633
but does have intentions...

2603
03:35:41,800 --> 03:35:45,680
He published several
book series. We only know

2604
03:35:45,840 --> 03:35:50,835
Stuchlik's edition, fiction
which he illustrated by himself

2605
03:35:51,000 --> 03:35:55,870
and wrote the text
using fine calligraphy.

2606
03:35:56,040 --> 03:36:02,036
And Véchal also made the bed
here, look, here it's written:

2607
03:36:02,680 --> 03:36:06,958
tucked up - HOSPITAL -
to rest the sleepy head,

2608
03:36:07,600 --> 03:36:12,549
a loving haven for the first
born and a death - bed readied

2609
03:36:12,720 --> 03:36:15,872
for one at death' door.

2610
03:36:16,560 --> 03:36:19,757
As far as we know,
Luke' never ever made a bed up.

2611
03:36:19,920 --> 03:36:22,958
-But he did invent things.
-That means that it's a fake.

2612
03:36:23,600 --> 03:36:26,035
But what kind of resistance
of matter is there?

2613
03:36:26,680 --> 03:36:28,830
That is Horééek's fake.

2614
03:36:29,000 --> 03:36:32,914
He had a series of inventions...

2615
03:36:33,560 --> 03:36:36,996
Lukeé designed the plastic
plan of the Czech Republic

2616
03:36:37,640 --> 03:36:42,669
which the Meéiar govt. has put
in place in the Slovak Republic.

2617
03:36:42,840 --> 03:36:48,631
So, he, in fact, was ahead of
the Meéiar regime by 40 years.

2618
03:36:49,840 --> 03:36:53,913
And he proposed synthetic
chocolate made out of used tyres.

2619
03:36:54,960 --> 03:36:59,750
Véchal had typical Czech golden
hands, unlike Lukeé.

2620
03:37:00,600 --> 03:37:03,991
...but his brain was faultless.

2621
03:37:10,760 --> 03:37:12,797
Castle Haéek.

2622
03:37:19,880 --> 03:37:24,556
He wanted to make use
of the globe lightning...

2623
03:37:24,720 --> 03:37:28,679
That self-criticism went
hand in hand with Véchals'.

2624
03:37:28,720 --> 03:37:33,920
Where did he wish to use
the globe lightning?

2625
03:37:37,920 --> 03:37:44,678
He directed normal lightning via
a lightning conductor to a place

2626
03:37:44,840 --> 03:37:50,916
where he placed an unknown ratio
of mercury and sulphur and,

2627
03:37:51,560 --> 03:37:56,760
thus, created gold. He had some
such an alchemistical conception.

2628
03:37:56,920 --> 03:38:01,551
-Or the accumulation of things.
-His chemistry was alchemy.

2629
03:38:01,720 --> 03:38:06,635
Lipnice Castle. Fly Agaric
and Gem-studded Puffball.

2630
03:38:06,800 --> 03:38:11,715
Jungle in those notes remind me
of the paintings on these walls,

2631
03:38:11,880 --> 03:38:16,636
on the other hand I'd say that
Vachal has a certain style

2632
03:38:16,880 --> 03:38:19,998
which I recognise.
Whereas that Lu keé...

2633
03:38:20,640 --> 03:38:22,950
-Maybe Lukeé has a style as well.
-If only I recognised it...

2634
03:38:49,800 --> 03:38:52,838
-Mommy...
-I talk to her aloud

2635
03:38:53,000 --> 03:38:55,992
when I am alone,
quietly I converse with her,

2636
03:38:56,680 --> 03:38:58,796
so, people don't think
I'm round the bend.

2637
03:38:58,960 --> 03:39:04,831
But I have memories, in the
mornings I tend to say to myself

2638
03:39:05,000 --> 03:39:08,550
that it was only a dream,
keep your marbles,

2639
03:39:08,720 --> 03:39:12,714
and, as a result, I am always
depressed in the morning

2640
03:39:12,880 --> 03:39:16,555
because I am unsure what I
dreamt was real or just a dream.

2641
03:39:16,720 --> 03:39:19,951
And one is half-asleep when
they wake you at half past five

2642
03:39:20,640 --> 03:39:25,555
because at that time
the cleaning ladies arrive who,

2643
03:39:25,720 --> 03:39:32,751
as a matter of principle, sweep
everything and mop the floor,

2644
03:39:32,920 --> 03:39:35,673
and that's more important
than anything else.

2645
03:39:35,840 --> 03:39:38,719
That's some fine hill,
isn't it?

2646
03:39:42,680 --> 03:39:45,877
-Still further?
-Well, we will go back down

2647
03:39:46,040 --> 03:39:48,839
and they will remain
at the top...

2648
03:39:49,000 --> 03:39:55,918
So, they'll take you
back to Kré by car.

2649
03:39:56,600 --> 03:39:59,937
Vienna St. 800, Kré, Prague 4.

2650
03:39:59,960 --> 03:40:00,552
Vienna St. 800, Kré, Prague 4.

2651
03:40:04,680 --> 03:40:08,594
-How many books did you write?
Roughly 25 books.

2652
03:40:09,720 --> 03:40:11,631
I wanted to tell you that

2653
03:40:11,800 --> 03:40:14,792
I used to run to the train
like in your book,

2654
03:40:14,960 --> 03:40:19,750
I used to race a train.
To increase my strength.

2655
03:40:21,720 --> 03:40:23,711
It's a bit iffy here.

2656
03:40:23,880 --> 03:40:27,714
You know what, go in front of
us Mrs... walk down and

2657
03:40:27,880 --> 03:40:29,871
I will go with him and you must
catch us up again

2658
03:40:30,560 --> 03:40:35,760
because I could slip
whereas Mr. Foglar must...

2659
03:40:35,920 --> 03:40:38,958
-Not there, here...
-Trosky Castle.

2660
03:40:39,640 --> 03:40:42,837
Hey wait, you have
something holding your leg...

2661
03:40:43,000 --> 03:40:46,595
It's O.K. now.
It's all right now...

2662
03:40:52,640 --> 03:40:54,711
Bearded Milk-cap.

2663
03:40:59,920 --> 03:41:04,835
Gottwalds speech is at an end
and after it the Stakhanovites,

2664
03:41:05,000 --> 03:41:08,709
Comrade Tipster, our women
Comrades Matey, Sprightly...

2665
03:41:08,880 --> 03:41:10,791
are getting their commendations.

2666
03:41:10,960 --> 03:41:13,793
Now we have
the comrades' roll-call.

2667
03:41:13,960 --> 03:41:16,998
The Comrade Secretary
always calls somebody up

2668
03:41:17,640 --> 03:41:20,871
and all of them say Thank You,
Comradely Greetings.

2669
03:41:22,880 --> 03:41:26,760
Comrade Sprightleee...

2670
03:41:32,040 --> 03:41:36,557
Thank you,
Comradely Greeeeeetings -

2671
03:41:36,720 --> 03:41:38,870
a kind of interlude again -

2672
03:41:46,960 --> 03:41:49,873
looking for the Diploma...

2673
03:41:56,000 --> 03:41:58,913
Comrade Swotteee...

2674
03:42:04,600 --> 03:42:06,989
Thank you, Comradely Greetings.

2675
03:42:07,680 --> 03:42:11,992
That interlude is always spot on,
they pick their commendations.

2676
03:42:12,680 --> 03:42:15,832
Then the comrades,
comrade Tipster,

2677
03:42:16,000 --> 03:42:19,550
and they sing in unison those
comrade brothers and sisters.

2678
03:42:19,880 --> 03:42:22,952
During 24 hours

2679
03:42:23,640 --> 03:42:28,760
1500 billion H worth of deals
are made all over the world.

2680
03:42:28,920 --> 03:42:30,638
Chlum Castle.

2681
03:42:30,800 --> 03:42:36,716
...meanwhile in the banks there
are only 650 billion 11 as cover.

2682
03:42:36,880 --> 03:42:40,589
The interest which flows from
these fictional transactions,

2683
03:42:40,760 --> 03:42:42,797
which go up
in thin air is enormous.

2684
03:42:42,960 --> 03:42:44,997
Boot-face Fungus.

2685
03:42:46,600 --> 03:42:49,877
Only thing he knows how to do,
that brat Rezek,

2686
03:42:50,560 --> 03:42:53,712
is how to grab
publicity in this way.

2687
03:42:53,880 --> 03:42:55,951
A silly question.

2688
03:42:56,640 --> 03:43:00,998
Why doesn't Petr Rezek teach
at the Philosophical Faculty?

2689
03:43:03,720 --> 03:43:09,955
That is a question which
has been answered long ago.

2690
03:43:10,600 --> 03:43:13,877
He was originally named
as a Senior Lecturer

2691
03:43:14,560 --> 03:43:18,997
in Philosophy and Aesthetical
Theory at the Acad. of Fine Arts,

2692
03:43:19,680 --> 03:43:23,833
then succeeded in an advertised
post at the Philosophical Dept.

2693
03:43:24,000 --> 03:43:27,675
And then he left.
I don't know why, just that

2694
03:43:27,840 --> 03:43:35,840
he was successful according
to the DeptJs regulations.

2695
03:43:37,720 --> 03:43:42,749
I am under the impression that
he wasn't sacked, he resigned.

2696
03:43:42,920 --> 03:43:45,912
And now he nurtures philosophy
as a one-man band,

2697
03:43:46,600 --> 03:43:49,911
so, your question, in this
sense, has been answered.

2698
03:43:50,560 --> 03:43:53,678
And how should you
nurture philosophy?

2699
03:43:53,840 --> 03:43:57,674
That's for a long discourse

2700
03:43:57,840 --> 03:44:00,639
as philosophy
accounts for itself.

2701
03:44:00,800 --> 03:44:07,718
I still see philosophers
somewhere else than in orgs...

2702
03:44:12,600 --> 03:44:15,831
But I am not sure if
philosophers are somewhere else.

2703
03:44:16,000 --> 03:44:18,594
There are various philosophers
at different places,

2704
03:44:18,760 --> 03:44:22,799
the term philosophy has in your
interpretation a double-meaning.

2705
03:44:22,960 --> 03:44:27,716
One which nurtures and engages
philosophy on whatever level

2706
03:44:27,880 --> 03:44:30,918
and, then philosophers
who are the real thing.

2707
03:44:31,600 --> 03:44:36,037
Those real ones are
intermittently within themselves.

2708
03:44:36,680 --> 03:44:38,717
Sometimes they hit the target
more, sometimes less,

2709
03:44:38,880 --> 03:44:41,952
there will probably
never be a situation

2710
03:44:42,600 --> 03:44:44,830
where at particular workplace
they are all super-duper.

2711
03:44:45,000 --> 03:44:48,755
It'll always be a mix
of various levels.

2712
03:44:48,920 --> 03:44:50,911
And also different focus.

2713
03:44:51,600 --> 03:44:53,830
In a certain era,
for a particular philosopher.

2714
03:44:54,000 --> 03:44:55,832
In one or other problem.

2715
03:44:56,000 --> 03:44:59,789
So, I would not see the absence
of philosophy, so, disastrously.

2716
03:44:59,960 --> 03:45:05,751
-FAN SUITABLE FOR DRYING HOUSES
-I was the Rector who

2717
03:45:05,920 --> 03:45:10,835
dissolved the Institute
of Marxism-Leninism in '89.

2718
03:45:11,000 --> 03:45:15,756
And immediately I tried to place
non-conformist philosophers

2719
03:45:15,920 --> 03:45:17,911
into the University posts.

2720
03:45:19,640 --> 03:45:26,637
Have you noticed that what
Rezek wrote in the newspapers

2721
03:45:26,800 --> 03:45:30,634
is making waves, that it is
good for the society.

2722
03:45:30,800 --> 03:45:33,599
Sometimes maybe well, sometimes
also rather contentiously.

2723
03:45:33,760 --> 03:45:38,834
Do you remember the scene from
Menze|'s "Capricious summer"?

2724
03:45:40,720 --> 03:45:46,830
I just don't understand,
you are a man of letters,

2725
03:45:47,000 --> 03:45:51,631
Ambassador,
now a bureaucrat, a Minister

2726
03:45:51,800 --> 03:45:55,998
is that a coherent existence?
Is it a coherent existence?

2727
03:45:56,640 --> 03:46:00,759
Nobody can answer
your complicated questions.

2728
03:46:00,920 --> 03:46:04,834
All those people
are used to editing.

2729
03:46:05,000 --> 03:46:07,674
In a classical mode
it is not coherent.

2730
03:46:09,600 --> 03:46:12,797
That means I should be
a politician as well?

2731
03:46:13,960 --> 03:46:19,592
It just happened to me,
I hope it doesn't happen to you.

2732
03:46:19,760 --> 03:46:23,594
I would say to him,
if I was asked such a question,

2733
03:46:23,760 --> 03:46:30,678
that everything is intertwined,
he didn't ask to be a Minister.

2734
03:46:30,840 --> 03:46:33,912
Similarly, he did not ask
to be a writer.

2735
03:46:34,640 --> 03:46:38,998
He must have it inside him
or he has to be asked.

2736
03:46:39,680 --> 03:46:43,560
But that's something else.

2737
03:46:43,800 --> 03:46:47,680
He was a writer, then
somebody believed in him

2738
03:46:47,840 --> 03:46:50,798
and thought he would run
the Ministry competently.

2739
03:46:53,560 --> 03:46:59,033
But he is sucked into the system
and the system does it's job.

2740
03:46:59,680 --> 03:47:03,560
I am looking for you, we're
sitting over there with Bohunka.

2741
03:47:03,720 --> 03:47:07,839
I don't like Menzels film very
much but I will remember.

2742
03:47:09,560 --> 03:47:11,995
MrHiréal please sit down here.

2743
03:47:12,640 --> 03:47:17,555
Remember that scene where the
climber Menzel walks the rope.

2744
03:47:17,720 --> 03:47:21,839
Some local-yokel says:
don't, you'll fall.

2745
03:47:22,000 --> 03:47:27,791
But his bread and butter
is solely his rope-walking.

2746
03:47:27,960 --> 03:47:33,876
So, he has no choice. And
the yokel played by Zéhorsky,

2747
03:47:34,040 --> 03:47:36,634
repeats himself: come down,
you'll fall and then

2748
03:47:36,800 --> 03:47:40,873
he starts to shake the pole
on which the rope is secured

2749
03:47:41,560 --> 03:47:47,590
and rope-walker Menzel falls and
damages, I think, his leg.

2750
03:47:47,760 --> 03:47:50,718
So, he loses his means
of employment.

2751
03:47:50,880 --> 03:47:53,918
As if the aforementioned said:
I told you you'll fall,

2752
03:47:54,560 --> 03:47:57,791
although by shaking the rope
he is the cause of it.

2753
03:47:57,960 --> 03:48:01,919
Well, I am filming
the rising of the dead.

2754
03:48:02,560 --> 03:48:06,599
Café Slavie is re-opening
8 years after the revolution

2755
03:48:06,760 --> 03:48:09,878
and I don't know how many years
it has been closed but

2756
03:48:10,560 --> 03:48:13,712
ifs a funny event.

2757
03:48:13,880 --> 03:48:20,638
You, you are creating
the Pine eff air...

2758
03:48:22,720 --> 03:48:26,031
Do you mind,
I am not responsible.

2759
03:48:26,680 --> 03:48:30,799
-It was created and he took part.
-He caused it himself.

2760
03:48:30,960 --> 03:48:34,999
And why is that? He published
other people's material

2761
03:48:35,640 --> 03:48:37,756
as his own,
and then didn't admit it?

2762
03:48:37,920 --> 03:48:40,673
He just has a bad memory,
isn't that so.

2763
03:48:40,840 --> 03:48:43,639
On the one hand good memory,
on the other not.

2764
03:48:43,800 --> 03:48:45,711
What he reads he remembers

2765
03:48:45,880 --> 03:48:48,759
and then forgets
where he got it from.

2766
03:48:49,040 --> 03:48:51,953
It happens to others,
not just him.

2767
03:48:52,640 --> 03:48:57,669
And there is another thing,
the affair Sokol (Falcon).

2768
03:48:57,840 --> 03:48:59,717
I just opened the newspaper
and you again wrote...

2769
03:48:59,880 --> 03:49:04,875
Seared.
-You, philosopher Rezek wrote:

2770
03:49:05,560 --> 03:49:09,713
he teaches his students out of
something that is trimmed down,

2771
03:49:09,880 --> 03:49:11,996
incomplete like.

2772
03:49:12,720 --> 03:49:16,839
Well, that Pinc forgot the
quotation marks and Sokol,

2773
03:49:17,000 --> 03:49:19,560
this time, puts them where
they don't belong.

2774
03:49:19,960 --> 03:49:23,954
Brilliant.
-A perfect double.

2775
03:49:24,600 --> 03:49:27,831
That's super, he puts
quotation marks around words,

2776
03:49:28,000 --> 03:49:30,799
his thoughts as if they were
quoted ideas of others.

2777
03:49:30,960 --> 03:49:33,554
In fact they are his own.
A stroke of genius.

2778
03:49:33,720 --> 03:49:36,599
You follow court cases and

2779
03:49:36,760 --> 03:49:39,752
cause problems to those
who win the disputes.

2780
03:49:39,920 --> 03:49:42,753
StFekov Castle.
Wood Blewit.

2781
03:49:42,920 --> 03:49:45,958
No. We don't cause problems

2782
03:49:46,600 --> 03:49:47,999
for those who are victorious
in a court dispute but

2783
03:49:48,680 --> 03:49:52,594
to those who allow
court cases to be won

2784
03:49:52,760 --> 03:49:53,989
by those who should not...

2785
03:49:54,680 --> 03:49:56,796
What are the recent major
affairs that are in motion...

2786
03:49:57,720 --> 03:49:59,936
You know what feeling I have?
A horrendous feeling.

2787
03:49:59,960 --> 03:50:00,711
You know what feeling I have?
A horrendous feeling.

2788
03:50:00,880 --> 03:50:03,952
Like as if you rip my belly
open top to bottom,

2789
03:50:04,600 --> 03:50:08,958
have a wriggle with my guts
throw them back and sew it up.

2790
03:50:09,600 --> 03:50:10,829
What a feeling.

2791
03:50:11,000 --> 03:50:14,630
It's questionable how much
you can oscillate

2792
03:50:14,800 --> 03:50:18,634
in the sensitive position to
which Czech philosophy got in...

2793
03:50:18,800 --> 03:50:21,679
-Koét'élov Castle.
-...fairly quickly.

2794
03:50:21,840 --> 03:50:25,993
The conclusions from very
respected philosophers,

2795
03:50:26,640 --> 03:50:29,758
Gadamer, Schaller,
are extremely positive,

2796
03:50:29,920 --> 03:50:32,799
for example, relating to the
quality of Czech phenomenology.

2797
03:50:32,960 --> 03:50:37,670
And those methods and
behaviour can threaten it...

2798
03:50:37,840 --> 03:50:39,672
Velvet Shank.

2799
03:50:39,840 --> 03:50:42,878
...and shake it
by unfair criticism.

2800
03:50:43,040 --> 03:50:44,917
Criticism which is below
the belt etc..

2801
03:50:45,600 --> 03:50:47,034
It is even dangerous.

2802
03:50:47,840 --> 03:50:51,595
Affairs
don't interest me officially

2803
03:50:51,760 --> 03:50:59,760
but we're working on a new case,
relating to Mr. Bér and a group

2804
03:51:02,680 --> 03:51:04,637
which was tried and jailed
20 years ago.

2805
03:51:04,800 --> 03:51:05,949
Everyone wants to sweep it
under the carpet.

2806
03:51:06,640 --> 03:51:08,950
It's a typical fabricated case
1950's type,

2807
03:51:09,600 --> 03:51:13,673
but during the 1970's it was all
public and the result is that

2808
03:51:13,840 --> 03:51:15,956
the judiciary does not want
to re-open it even though

2809
03:51:16,600 --> 03:51:19,638
the people spent 12 years in
jail and families were destroyed.

2810
03:51:19,800 --> 03:51:22,553
MrsParkanové is dismissing
MrHorky who is a judge

2811
03:51:22,720 --> 03:51:26,679
who meant to release a murderer
after four years incarceration.

2812
03:51:26,840 --> 03:51:29,753
Judge Horky is the biggest
scoundrel in the judiciary.

2813
03:51:33,760 --> 03:51:40,757
To answer Véclavs question
as to "who is the Police for",

2814
03:51:40,920 --> 03:51:47,553
then maybe here is a way to some
extent to comprehend

2815
03:51:47,720 --> 03:51:53,875
what happened here after 1990.
I don't think, as Petr Uhl said,

2816
03:51:54,040 --> 03:52:01,674
that the West has an edge in
refusing paternalism and so on.

2817
03:52:01,840 --> 03:52:04,673
I would say that
we still have a lead.

2818
03:52:04,840 --> 03:52:09,835
Because during those ten years
there is no effective authority

2819
03:52:10,000 --> 03:52:13,550
and that is
the cause of our problems.

2820
03:52:13,720 --> 03:52:17,998
We even have freedom from rules.
From any kind of responsibility.

2821
03:52:18,680 --> 03:52:24,756
By the refusal of a false
communist set of rules

2822
03:52:24,920 --> 03:52:28,754
we were no longer prepared
to accept another.

2823
03:52:28,920 --> 03:52:31,958
To form a new set of regulations.

2824
03:52:33,640 --> 03:52:35,950
I believe that Horky is one of
the best judges in this country.

2825
03:52:36,000 --> 03:52:39,630
He behaves very correctly and
isn't prepared to convict people

2826
03:52:39,800 --> 03:52:42,553
on the basis of half-baked
evidence proposed by the Police

2827
03:52:42,720 --> 03:52:46,953
and the Prosecutor which says
that somebody is a crook.

2828
03:52:47,640 --> 03:52:50,632
I can be convinced 1000 times
that someone is a crook but,

2829
03:52:50,800 --> 03:52:53,838
surely, I cannot convict simply
because he is unsympathetic.

2830
03:52:54,000 --> 03:52:57,675
Four years on remand!
How long a remand is necessary,

2831
03:52:57,840 --> 03:52:59,911
how long will it take
to convict them'?

2832
03:53:00,600 --> 03:53:02,750
Four years, six years,
eight years, ten years?

2833
03:53:02,920 --> 03:53:04,991
We must convict them and
not hold them on remand.

2834
03:53:05,680 --> 03:53:08,718
That's the re-opened
coffee-house Slavie.

2835
03:53:08,880 --> 03:53:11,952
It is the married-to-be
lass from Sabina's libretto.

2836
03:53:12,600 --> 03:53:14,671
The bride
of the whole Czech nation...

2837
03:53:14,840 --> 03:53:18,993
In Kolléfis spirit
it is the mother of Slavia.

2838
03:53:20,600 --> 03:53:24,559
Slavia is celebrating
a form of re-birth -

2839
03:53:24,720 --> 03:53:28,873
if you were to congratulate
firstly, Slavia, then the public.

2840
03:53:29,040 --> 03:53:32,795
-In what Party are you?
-I am not in any.

2841
03:53:32,960 --> 03:53:37,670
My father always used to say:
ifs impossible to be in a Party.

2842
03:53:37,840 --> 03:53:41,959
-I am a non-Party creature.
-Well, I'm pleased.

2843
03:53:42,640 --> 03:53:44,677
Slavie from SLAVUS
meaning Slovanic and,

2844
03:53:44,840 --> 03:53:46,911
so, I would like to offer my
congratulations via Latin verse

2845
03:53:47,600 --> 03:53:49,637
which came to me
as I was walking just now.

2846
03:53:49,800 --> 03:53:53,680
The poem is called STABAT
MATTER. Slavia, of course,

2847
03:53:53,840 --> 03:53:54,989
and reads...

2848
03:54:07,920 --> 03:54:10,673
-How do you like it here?
-Fantastic.

2849
03:54:10,840 --> 03:54:14,879
Many hold it against Slavia
or are surprised that

2850
03:54:15,040 --> 03:54:16,997
it has remained
how it used to be.

2851
03:54:17,040 --> 03:54:20,874
It's right that she has returned
to the days of the 1st Republic.

2852
03:54:21,040 --> 03:54:23,714
You are involved in court cases.
Then tell me something about it.

2853
03:54:23,880 --> 03:54:28,750
-KniZék's poster and Havel.
-For me that's just silly.

2854
03:54:28,920 --> 03:54:34,791
-Any sense in it?
-No sense, only for the media,

2855
03:54:35,680 --> 03:54:37,990
then, maybe somebody wants
to gratify one's...

2856
03:54:38,680 --> 03:54:40,796
Scaly Cluster Fungus.

2857
03:54:40,960 --> 03:54:45,591
Because why would the President
object to being like a mushroom

2858
03:54:45,760 --> 03:54:47,990
with a shoe on a poster,
that poster is beautiful.

2859
03:54:48,640 --> 03:54:50,870
-Kamy'/k Castle.
-He shouldn't mind,

2860
03:54:51,040 --> 03:54:54,556
ifs not Véclav but his bust
which Kniiék created, so,

2861
03:54:54,720 --> 03:54:57,030
ifs not a genuine Mr. Havel and
it's not the fault

2862
03:54:57,680 --> 03:55:02,550
of the doggie Dééenka when Mrs
President identifies with it.

2863
03:55:02,720 --> 03:55:05,758
In the firvst place, there was
Karel Capek's Dééenka

2864
03:55:05,920 --> 03:55:07,718
and then MrsPresident started
to use the name.

2865
03:55:07,880 --> 03:55:11,589
And, in particular, Mr. and Mrs.
President want money and

2866
03:55:11,760 --> 03:55:14,991
they want to give the money
to some charity.

2867
03:55:15,680 --> 03:55:18,638
If I was ridden by cancer
I wouldn't want the money but

2868
03:55:18,800 --> 03:55:21,633
rather have the poster.

2869
03:55:21,800 --> 03:55:24,952
And you elaborated on this
"Véclav" mushroom.

2870
03:55:26,920 --> 03:55:30,550
Well, someone a bit thick
like me

2871
03:55:30,720 --> 03:55:33,553
wouldn't get the point
of the poster in the least.

2872
03:55:33,720 --> 03:55:36,838
I thought that the "Vécla\/'
mushroom is a kind of promotion

2873
03:55:37,000 --> 03:55:40,914
for the same-named passageway

2874
03:55:41,560 --> 03:55:44,598
from Charlie Square towards
Have|'s house on Raéin Quay.

2875
03:55:44,760 --> 03:55:48,640
I didn't cotton on that it's
the sale of shoes.

2876
03:55:48,800 --> 03:55:51,633
I didn't understand that either.

2877
03:55:51,800 --> 03:55:54,792
Well, and that little Dééenka
is there for decoration.

2878
03:55:57,600 --> 03:55:59,910
As you're in such a good mood

2879
03:56:00,640 --> 03:56:03,029
we could have a singalong
to loosen up a bit,

2880
03:56:03,760 --> 03:56:06,036
in order to let go
of the tension.

2881
03:56:06,680 --> 03:56:10,560
Move back a teeny bit please,
back, it's falling apart,

2882
03:56:10,720 --> 03:56:13,872
only a wee little bit please,
I can see that it's working,

2883
03:56:14,560 --> 03:56:19,555
brilliant that it's working, so,
well, move back a little bit,

2884
03:56:19,720 --> 03:56:24,794
a bit of living space for
all those thousands of people

2885
03:56:24,960 --> 03:56:26,837
who are waiting here for hours...

2886
03:56:33,840 --> 03:56:37,993
This is a jacket for the House
of Fashion created in the 50's,

2887
03:56:38,640 --> 03:56:43,555
the shirt is Italian, logically
those women fans tore it apart.

2888
03:56:43,720 --> 03:56:46,633
Us intellectual nitwits,
always get it

2889
03:56:46,800 --> 03:56:51,556
from those bad signings.

2890
03:56:55,640 --> 03:57:00,635
Yeah panties, my trophy,
I have to show it off,

2891
03:57:02,840 --> 03:57:06,754
I got them from a woman-friend
who I know for 15 years, look,

2892
03:57:06,920 --> 03:57:12,711
from a period, quite fresh.
Perfect, yep. What else?

2893
03:57:12,880 --> 03:57:16,714
New Doc Martin's,
in another words Gladiators,

2894
03:57:17,000 --> 03:57:21,551
well as far as clothes
are concerned we've solved it.

2895
03:57:22,040 --> 03:57:27,797
-|'m looking for you, by the way.
-Let me introduce my new wife.

2896
03:57:27,960 --> 03:57:32,909
No longer with Monica then,
pestered her to death or what?

2897
03:57:33,600 --> 03:57:37,594
Monika comes to visit at night,

2898
03:57:37,760 --> 03:57:41,674
mostly when we're about have
sexual intercourse...

2899
03:57:41,840 --> 03:57:43,672
Voyeur!

2900
03:57:44,640 --> 03:57:48,793
Yeah, I forgot that baseball cap,
God knows why I took it with me.

2901
03:57:48,960 --> 03:57:53,830
But I've realised that Renault
is sponsoring the Plastics tour.

2902
03:57:54,000 --> 03:57:55,877
See you.

2903
03:57:57,760 --> 03:58:01,799
She's studying at the Uni. and
were below subsistence level.

2904
03:58:01,960 --> 03:58:05,794
Studying?
What for, blockhead?

2905
03:58:05,960 --> 03:58:10,750
Not clever enough, is she?
She has to study...

2906
03:58:14,000 --> 03:58:16,674
Czechs are the best...

2907
03:58:27,600 --> 03:58:30,991
Czechs, Czechs...

2908
03:58:36,960 --> 03:58:39,839
-You are not signing?
-No, a little hitch,

2909
03:58:40,000 --> 03:58:42,799
I think, waiting for further
signings, it'll be...

2910
03:58:42,960 --> 03:58:45,873
-And who else will be signing?
-At the moment

2911
03:58:46,560 --> 03:58:49,598
I don't have anything to sign.
Not coming at the moment.

2912
03:58:50,640 --> 03:58:52,631
And they
do not want it just from you?

2913
03:58:52,800 --> 03:58:56,634
But yes, I've signed for those
who were in the shop...

2914
03:58:58,720 --> 03:59:03,794
-So, there'|| be more to sign...
-We're waiting if it comes off.

2915
03:59:04,800 --> 03:59:07,553
We will leave the song
for later because now

2916
03:59:07,720 --> 03:59:12,590
we will watch the TV screens. It
looks like our hockey players

2917
03:59:12,760 --> 03:59:16,719
are approaching the residence
of Mr. President.

2918
03:59:23,600 --> 03:59:24,920
And what if nobody comes...

2919
03:59:25,600 --> 03:59:27,989
We have to wait for another
20 mins. to see if they arrive

2920
03:59:28,640 --> 03:59:31,871
otherwise it will be without the
signatures Mr.and Mrs. President.

2921
03:59:32,560 --> 03:59:36,838
We have it from Mrs. Rakuéanové,
formerly it was meant like that.

2922
03:59:38,640 --> 03:59:40,836
Rockers survive all, man.

2923
03:59:41,000 --> 03:59:47,633
Look, I gave a speech at
the funeral of Jirka Tichy,

2924
03:59:47,800 --> 03:59:49,950
about two months back and

2925
03:59:50,600 --> 03:59:53,991
five people wanted me to give an
oration speech at their funeral.

2926
03:59:54,640 --> 03:59:59,760
I gave a funeral oration for
Kuba Némec, the lad who died

2927
03:59:59,960 --> 04:00:02,554
right at the time he stopped
taking drugs and

2928
04:00:02,720 --> 04:00:05,872
about twenty people there wanted
a funeral speech from me.

2929
04:00:06,040 --> 04:00:10,750
I said: you arseholes, you're 20
or 30 years younger than me

2930
04:00:10,920 --> 04:00:13,594
and Jana Némcova,
Hlavsova as was, said

2931
04:00:13,760 --> 04:00:16,991
that you will outlive us all.
And it's true.

2932
04:00:18,840 --> 04:00:23,755
Then we will say something
to those newsmen and go again.

2933
04:00:24,920 --> 04:00:28,914
Because I am a mutant.
Stop filming me, pricks,

2934
04:00:29,560 --> 04:00:31,551
otherwise I'll stamp
all over your little toys.

2935
04:00:36,720 --> 04:00:41,749
Haéek isn't human,
Haéek is a God...

2936
04:01:04,800 --> 04:01:08,714
But when it was possible for
us to get rid

2937
04:01:08,880 --> 04:01:13,750
of ideological thinking,
well, we should be careful that

2938
04:01:13,920 --> 04:01:17,834
a total lack of ideas
doesn't arise out of it,

2939
04:01:18,000 --> 04:01:21,914
after deconstruction one should
begin some new construction.

2940
04:01:24,680 --> 04:01:26,956
Haéek for President!

2941
04:01:27,640 --> 04:01:29,916
Haéek to the Castle...

2942
04:01:37,720 --> 04:01:39,950
Welcome home,

2943
04:01:43,760 --> 04:01:48,834
Dominik Haéek,
the mainstay of our team,

2944
04:01:49,000 --> 04:01:53,870
the star of the championship,
the best goalman in the world,

2945
04:01:54,560 --> 04:01:58,713
Dominik Haéeeeeek...

2946
04:01:59,560 --> 04:02:02,996
Nuclear physicists today are
turning to us, philosophers,

2947
04:02:03,680 --> 04:02:09,790
to recollect our famous past
and to begin work anew.

2948
04:02:09,960 --> 04:02:14,033
Post modern philosophy
has got out of the habit.

2949
04:02:17,920 --> 04:02:22,835
It's been pushed into a corner
a bit by scientific positivism.

2950
04:02:23,600 --> 04:02:29,551
A programme for generations,
really. A very nice programme.

2951
04:02:29,720 --> 04:02:37,720
If the historical conditions
were more apt one could say...

2952
04:02:38,760 --> 04:02:40,956
They're signing,

2953
04:02:41,600 --> 04:02:44,035
later they will
be handing it on like a relay.

2954
04:02:44,680 --> 04:02:49,629
...we are entering an era of an
amazing intellectual adventure.

2955
04:02:49,800 --> 04:02:53,714
Gorgeous, in all subjects.

2956
04:02:53,880 --> 04:02:55,917
I'll give you
little bells for luck.

2957
04:02:56,560 --> 04:02:57,994
I hope you will be
happy together,

2958
04:02:58,640 --> 04:03:02,599
please, from you personally
I need one signature.

2959
04:03:02,760 --> 04:03:06,958
I got this from your office
over a year ago, please sign it.

2960
04:03:09,640 --> 04:03:13,599
And here a signature
from both of you, please.

2961
04:03:13,840 --> 04:03:18,630
-Yes, that is already signed.
-These books I've already signed.

2962
04:03:20,760 --> 04:03:24,674
In science, in philosophy,
in art, in everything.

2963
04:03:24,840 --> 04:03:30,870
We would need more decent
social conditions for that,

2964
04:03:31,040 --> 04:03:34,635
and in the twenty-first century,
worse luck, they won't be there.

2965
04:03:34,800 --> 04:03:38,680
So, it will all regress.
Needlessly.

2966
04:03:40,640 --> 04:03:48,640
Alfons Mucha was arrested
in 1939 by the Gestapo

2967
04:03:48,920 --> 04:03:53,949
and on 14 July
of that year died.

2968
04:03:57,880 --> 04:04:04,877
An end which was logical
in terms of Nazi politics.

2969
04:04:05,560 --> 04:04:11,875
A person who drew a whole series
of works devoted to this theme

2970
04:04:12,040 --> 04:04:15,874
was clearly damn uncomfortable
to the Nazis.

2971
04:04:16,040 --> 04:04:21,558
The question remains, to what
degree will that Slavenhaz,

2972
04:04:21,720 --> 04:04:23,870
that hatred towards Slavs,

2973
04:04:25,720 --> 04:04:32,797
in some way,
under a difficult label,

2974
04:04:32,960 --> 04:04:36,590
be carried onwards.

2975
04:04:36,760 --> 04:04:40,037
Czechs, Czechs...

2976
04:04:50,880 --> 04:04:53,713
Stamp all over your little toys.

2977
04:04:53,880 --> 04:04:56,679
We always used the formal 'vous'
between us, didn't we.

2978
04:04:56,920 --> 04:04:58,911
Méfa said you'd be here.

2979
04:05:00,800 --> 04:05:03,679
I still haven't seen your film.

2980
04:05:07,000 --> 04:05:09,958
You don't even have the decency
to send me a videotape,

2981
04:05:10,640 --> 04:05:12,790
I don't have a video-player,
logically, I have nothing,

2982
04:05:16,800 --> 04:05:21,033
but I have neighbours
with a video.

2983
04:05:21,800 --> 04:05:24,758
Send it to me on tape,
so, I can see it,

2984
04:05:24,920 --> 04:05:28,834
supposedly I am famous in it.

2985
04:05:29,760 --> 04:05:33,037
That film was fantastic,
I saw it twice,

2986
04:05:33,680 --> 04:05:37,719
and how Mr.Cromwell is sitting
in that empty Parliament Chamber

2987
04:05:38,760 --> 04:05:41,957
and says: I swear

2988
04:05:42,000 --> 04:05:46,710
that I will provide sound
Government to the British people

2989
04:05:46,760 --> 04:05:49,673
even at the price
that I govern alone.

2990
04:05:52,960 --> 04:05:56,669
Why do you always behave
with me with such superiority'?

2991
04:05:56,840 --> 04:06:01,550
Me'? Maybe I have
an advantage over you.

2992
04:06:03,680 --> 04:06:05,717
You are going too far...

2993
04:06:10,560 --> 04:06:13,951
Then his dictatorship
started and

2994
04:06:15,640 --> 04:06:19,599
look where is the greatest
democracy, in Great Britain;

2995
04:06:19,760 --> 04:06:22,752
England was never the same it
had been before Cromwell.

2996
04:06:22,920 --> 04:06:26,709
Gave those good-for-nothings
a hiding in the same way

2997
04:06:26,880 --> 04:06:30,953
as I will give you a hiding.
I warned you to stop shooting.

2998
04:06:32,680 --> 04:06:35,752
A pity that the Czech TV did not
show your New Year speech

2999
04:06:35,920 --> 04:06:40,915
because it would have been
really worth it.

3000
04:06:41,560 --> 04:06:43,551
You saw it then?

3001
04:06:43,720 --> 04:06:47,679
Then you saw the chicken,
spot on I think...

3002
04:06:49,920 --> 04:06:51,877
You Pandora created Zeus...

3003
04:06:52,040 --> 04:06:55,874
I would suggest, is Lubor here?
Lubor?

3004
04:06:57,680 --> 04:06:59,671
Are there
any Plastics in the house?

3005
04:06:59,840 --> 04:07:02,639
Vrét'a's there with Kéba.

3006
04:07:03,920 --> 04:07:06,719
...so as to punish
and humiliate you, Pandora,

3007
04:07:06,880 --> 04:07:08,757
and force on
to a road of worthiness.

3008
04:07:08,920 --> 04:07:11,673
Into my box he stored
all the world calamities and

3009
04:07:11,840 --> 04:07:12,989
sent bad times on to the people.

3010
04:07:13,680 --> 04:07:19,596
In the bottom of the box placed
a gift which will not disappoint.

3011
04:07:19,960 --> 04:07:23,874
Kristyna, you have got somewhere
where you don't belong.

3012
04:07:24,760 --> 04:07:26,831
It stifles me but

3013
04:07:27,960 --> 04:07:30,952
it is interesting
and sometimes even amusing.

3014
04:07:31,640 --> 04:07:33,790
-To play with dolls?
-Yes, with large dolls.

3015
04:07:33,960 --> 04:07:36,600
Do be careful,
the Regicidal killer

3016
04:07:36,760 --> 04:07:38,671
-is behind the curtains.
-Who would wish to kill me...

3017
04:07:38,840 --> 04:07:42,993
Charles I. said the same in
England, everyone loves me

3018
04:07:43,640 --> 04:07:46,837
and the Cromwellites
chopped his head off.

3019
04:07:47,000 --> 04:07:49,560
There are times
I wish to be Cromwell

3020
04:07:49,720 --> 04:07:52,712
and cut my head off.

3021
04:07:57,640 --> 04:07:59,870
Czechs, Czechs!

3022
04:08:07,600 --> 04:08:11,798
Permanently I have a rose-like
skin-complaint in both legs.

3023
04:08:11,960 --> 04:08:15,749
That's what one Dr. kept saying,
you can't heal it,

3024
04:08:15,920 --> 04:08:20,790
you simply are that way. I fight
all the time, any injury does.

3025
04:08:20,960 --> 04:08:26,956
The rules are unknown, the rules
are generally created

3026
04:08:27,040 --> 04:08:31,910
according to how open officials'
ears and pockets happen to be.

3027
04:08:32,600 --> 04:08:35,558
-You know Miss...
-It's a little boy!

3028
04:08:35,720 --> 04:08:38,997
Imagine, my little lad,
that communication -

3029
04:08:39,640 --> 04:08:44,874
one community hits the puck
according to its reason and

3030
04:08:45,040 --> 04:08:48,670
then the puck is taken away
by another community and

3031
04:08:48,840 --> 04:08:50,797
bangs it as it thinks fit and

3032
04:08:50,840 --> 04:08:54,993
the rules are clear and
what matters is victory.

3033
04:08:55,840 --> 04:09:00,994
Russkies are for it
and all saw it!

3034
04:09:06,000 --> 04:09:10,756
It's all about victory, it's
like a war to subdue the rest...

3035
04:09:11,720 --> 04:09:12,676
Yes.

3036
04:09:13,560 --> 04:09:16,871
That's precisely the situation
we are in today.

3037
04:09:17,000 --> 04:09:21,790
I got this from Saéa Juréékové,

3038
04:09:21,960 --> 04:09:25,999
she beat me up 4 days ago.

3039
04:09:26,680 --> 04:09:28,796
At a Dog's Soldiers gig
at the Acropolis

3040
04:09:28,960 --> 04:09:31,873
and she engaged in Greco-roman
fight, pretty good at it too,

3041
04:09:31,920 --> 04:09:35,675
as well as some three other
Asiatic underhand sports.

3042
04:09:35,840 --> 04:09:39,037
We were sitting at a table
in the front-hall

3043
04:09:39,680 --> 04:09:43,560
and I was giving some
tale about my kids.

3044
04:09:43,720 --> 04:09:47,839
Probably thought it cynical.
She has a new baby, that cunt,

3045
04:09:48,000 --> 04:09:50,753
so jumped across
the table and went for me.

3046
04:09:50,920 --> 04:09:55,596
I had a proper fight with her...
it's like the Sarajevo attentat.

3047
04:09:55,760 --> 04:09:59,936
Kicked her ribs in,
stitched head, just trivial.

3048
04:09:59,960 --> 04:10:00,677
Kicked her ribs in,
stitched head, just trivial.

3049
04:10:00,840 --> 04:10:04,993
I was, so, pissed, that the ribs
began to hurt only 3 days after.

3050
04:10:05,560 --> 04:10:08,757
It's O.K. now.
But the day before yesterday

3051
04:10:08,920 --> 04:10:11,560
I couldn't stand or lie down,
nor sit down.

3052
04:10:11,720 --> 04:10:14,553
When I coughed
or when I smiled...

3053
04:10:16,560 --> 04:10:19,916
Banged ribs are worse
than broken ones. Bitch.

3054
04:10:20,600 --> 04:10:25,674
<i>They've bringing
my love to me..</i>

3055
04:10:25,840 --> 04:10:27,831
The film was created with the
support of the State Foundation

3056
04:10:28,000 --> 04:10:30,833
for the Support and Development
of Czech Cinema

3057
04:10:31,840 --> 04:10:35,913
Dear MrPresident,
ladies and gentlemen,

3058
04:10:36,560 --> 04:10:37,994
dear colleagues.

3059
04:10:39,600 --> 04:10:43,992
Today's performance finished
a successful series

3060
04:10:44,640 --> 04:10:48,918
of charitable performances
which came to fruition

3061
04:10:49,600 --> 04:10:53,833
due to the involvement
of Mrs. Dagmar Havlové

3062
04:10:54,880 --> 04:10:57,679
with the aim
of helping the victims

3063
04:10:57,840 --> 04:11:01,754
of the tragic floods
this year in Moravia.

3064
04:11:19,880 --> 04:11:24,670
Thank you
for patience which you -

3065
04:11:24,840 --> 04:11:28,629
Milan shut the gob up
during the signing.

3066
04:11:33,920 --> 04:11:37,959
Apologies for the delay but

3067
04:11:38,600 --> 04:11:41,797
there were some pricks
filming from the TV.

3068
04:11:43,720 --> 04:11:49,591
I'd like to say that
it is incredible

3069
04:11:50,560 --> 04:11:54,952
that the Plastics are signing
a book of their texts...

3070
04:11:55,640 --> 04:11:59,918
that Lubor Mafa, a publisher,

3071
04:12:00,600 --> 04:12:05,595
got hold of a person
who put it all together.

3072
04:12:05,760 --> 04:12:08,798
Because none of us had it all.

3073
04:12:13,560 --> 04:12:17,872
Jarda Rydl, no Reidl,
ifs the same, what's in a name.

3074
04:12:18,560 --> 04:12:20,995
As William Shakespeare says:
What's in a name?

3075
04:12:21,640 --> 04:12:25,759
That which we call a rose, by any
other name would smell as sweet.

3076
04:12:25,920 --> 04:12:27,877
In short,

3077
04:12:31,680 --> 04:12:34,718
in November - revolution

3078
04:12:34,880 --> 04:12:36,871
of which yesterday
we saw the anniversary,

3079
04:12:37,040 --> 04:12:41,671
we never imagined that we
would live to see the day.

3080
04:12:41,840 --> 04:12:43,877
Succinctly - enough babble.

3081
04:12:44,040 --> 04:12:51,629
I want that you allow one minute
silence as a mark of respect

3082
04:12:51,800 --> 04:12:58,593
for Michal Jernek, song-writer
for the Plastic People,

3083
04:12:58,760 --> 04:13:00,797
who died yesterday.

3084
04:13:00,960 --> 04:13:05,557
Please, a minutes' silence
for Michel Jernel,

3085
04:13:12,600 --> 04:13:15,911
Mejia, fuck it, he was your mate,

3086
04:13:16,880 --> 04:13:19,952
none of us is wearing a watch
anyhow...

3087
04:13:21,640 --> 04:13:24,029
He died of stroke.

3088
04:13:24,880 --> 04:13:27,599
He played with the Plastics
for 3 years,

3089
04:13:27,760 --> 04:13:33,597
I've lived with them for 30 years.
It's amazing I haven't had a fit.

04:13:36,600 --> 04:13:41,674
Long Live
The Czech Golden Olympic Team

3091
04:13:41,920 --> 04:13:46,869
and 140000 Czechs
who have come to say Thank You.

3092
04:13:48,720 --> 04:13:51,917
-I don't have an ear for music.
-No brain, no stroke.

3093
04:13:52,320 --> 04:13:54,311
That alone saves me.
