1
00:00:05,372 --> 00:00:08,808
MONDO CANE 2
2
00:00:51,718 --> 00:00:55,780
As we all know, the English
deeply love England, family,
3
00:00:55,822 --> 00:00:58,848
weekends, the Queen, the tea,
but most of all animals.
4
00:00:58,892 --> 00:01:01,156
Among the 41 million
British subjects,
5
00:01:01,194 --> 00:01:04,653
dogs are the most loved,
pampered,
6
00:01:04,698 --> 00:01:07,190
and legally protected
living beings.
7
00:01:07,234 --> 00:01:10,431
The first Mondo Cane
was prohibited in England,
8
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:12,837
only because of those scenes
that showed
9
00:01:12,873 --> 00:01:15,843
dogs as victims
of human cruelty.
10
00:01:15,876 --> 00:01:18,243
We reverently comply
with the judgment
11
00:01:18,278 --> 00:01:23,182
of the English censor and,
to prove our repentance,
12
00:01:23,216 --> 00:01:27,653
we offer him this almost
bloodless new version.
13
00:01:27,687 --> 00:01:31,317
This sequence is actually
one of the few exceptions.
14
00:01:31,358 --> 00:01:33,986
We shot it at
a hospital in London,
15
00:01:34,027 --> 00:01:37,088
where every day tens of dogs
undergo the removal
16
00:01:37,130 --> 00:01:40,657
of their vocal chords
so that the surgeons
17
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:43,567
can vivisect them without being
disturbed by their yelps.
18
00:01:43,603 --> 00:01:45,935
We have introduced
this scene at the start
19
00:01:45,972 --> 00:01:48,907
so that the English censor
may use, at his leisure,
20
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:50,910
the surgical lancet.
21
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:53,936
By just one strike of
the lancet, he will be able
22
00:01:53,980 --> 00:01:57,712
to amputate our film
without causing any dog
23
00:01:57,751 --> 00:02:01,813
to yelp or curse
the name of the filmmakers.
24
00:02:21,775 --> 00:02:27,111
Yes, we must admit that in Italy
a dog's life is a lot
25
00:02:27,147 --> 00:02:28,876
more frivolous and much
less rewarding.
26
00:02:28,915 --> 00:02:31,714
Whilst in England
they have to cooperate
27
00:02:31,751 --> 00:02:34,482
with the world of science,
in Italy they have to settle
28
00:02:34,521 --> 00:02:36,717
for cooperating with
the world of fashion.
29
00:02:36,756 --> 00:02:38,918
Emilio Federico Schubert,
the famous Roman stylist,
30
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:41,758
said that this year,
a striped dress requires
31
00:02:41,795 --> 00:02:44,890
a striped dog,
but it would be unforgivable
32
00:02:44,931 --> 00:02:47,866
to wear a polka dot dress
without a polka dot dog.
33
00:04:00,140 --> 00:04:02,734
Of course no hairdresser
can give a dog
34
00:04:02,776 --> 00:04:05,939
the same rewards given to him
by a surgeon, but that's life.
35
00:04:05,979 --> 00:04:09,506
If some dogs are denied the
privilege of losing their skin,
36
00:04:09,549 --> 00:04:13,110
some others have to settle
for losing just their coat.
37
00:04:22,729 --> 00:04:24,959
Losing your hair,
here at Sant'Antimo,
38
00:04:24,998 --> 00:04:27,968
in the Aversa province,
is very lucrative.
39
00:04:28,001 --> 00:04:30,436
Now that wigs are back,
they go for as much as
40
00:04:30,470 --> 00:04:31,869
9 thousand liras a kilo.
41
00:04:31,905 --> 00:04:35,239
A fortune that had been ignored
for many centuries
42
00:04:35,275 --> 00:04:38,438
by the women of
our underdeveloped south.
43
00:04:55,228 --> 00:04:57,959
The increasing request
of braids and straight hair
44
00:04:57,997 --> 00:05:00,694
that gets stuck in the comb,
45
00:05:00,733 --> 00:05:03,896
makes Aversa one the most
combed Provinces of Italy,
46
00:05:03,937 --> 00:05:05,701
maybe of the world.
47
00:05:05,738 --> 00:05:08,673
This is first quality hair
and the American market,
48
00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:11,075
in particular, pays millions
for the exceptional softness
49
00:05:11,111 --> 00:05:13,136
of its texture
which is caused, it seems,
50
00:05:13,179 --> 00:05:16,240
by having grown
on malnourished scalps
51
00:05:16,282 --> 00:05:18,478
with a high shortage
of vitamins.
52
00:05:18,518 --> 00:05:21,613
Nowhere else as in Sant'Antimo,
where women pay off
53
00:05:21,654 --> 00:05:24,487
much better than sheep,
the economy has boomed
54
00:05:24,524 --> 00:05:26,686
with such a loud blast.
55
00:05:51,885 --> 00:05:54,718
Washed, skimmed, carded,
boiled, pressed, bleached,
56
00:05:54,754 --> 00:05:56,483
and newly colored,
57
00:05:56,523 --> 00:05:59,117
Sant'Antimo's hair ends up here,
58
00:05:59,159 --> 00:06:02,129
in one of the many
American beauty institutes,
59
00:06:02,162 --> 00:06:05,154
at the lady's maintenance
and spare parts department.
60
00:06:05,198 --> 00:06:07,394
In America, where women work,
61
00:06:07,433 --> 00:06:10,130
wearing a wig is not
a luxury or an oddity.
62
00:06:10,170 --> 00:06:12,138
It's a social necessity.
63
00:06:12,172 --> 00:06:15,198
The American woman cannot waste
her time with her hairdresser.
64
00:06:15,241 --> 00:06:17,209
She may, at most,
send her head to him,
65
00:06:17,243 --> 00:06:20,304
but she'll leave
the rest of herself at work.
66
00:06:56,115 --> 00:07:00,245
It's 5 o'clock, an average
day in an average office.
67
00:07:00,286 --> 00:07:04,519
In this very moment, all over
America, 24 million employees
68
00:07:04,557 --> 00:07:08,494
wear a wig simultaneously,
eager to find,
69
00:07:08,528 --> 00:07:10,462
as fast as possible,
the unmistakable
70
00:07:10,496 --> 00:07:13,261
signs of their womanhood.
71
00:07:13,299 --> 00:07:16,428
Of the 3 million dollars
of hair imported by the U.S.
72
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:18,164
from Italy every year,
73
00:07:18,204 --> 00:07:22,072
only a small percentage
is bound to replant the old
74
00:07:22,108 --> 00:07:26,272
scalps of the Rothschild
and Vanderbilt widows.
75
00:07:26,312 --> 00:07:29,077
The largest locks
of locks end up here,
76
00:07:29,115 --> 00:07:33,018
on the hundred heads
of the American Medusa.
77
00:08:02,081 --> 00:08:05,949
And here is an example of
professional use of wigs.
78
00:08:05,985 --> 00:08:09,011
In hundreds of nightclubs,
79
00:08:09,055 --> 00:08:12,423
the locks of hair
from Sant'Antimo's women
80
00:08:12,458 --> 00:08:14,859
are the main fiction of these
fake professionals of vice.
81
00:08:57,270 --> 00:08:58,669
Since beautiful Coxinelle
82
00:08:58,705 --> 00:09:00,400
complied with
her fatherhood instinct
83
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:05,537
and married a good old boy,
genuine produces are short.
84
00:09:05,578 --> 00:09:08,570
One can only rely
on unemployed businessmen,
85
00:09:08,614 --> 00:09:11,276
or even some retired colonel,
86
00:09:11,317 --> 00:09:15,117
provided they have
some dark precedent,
87
00:09:15,154 --> 00:09:17,248
like having played in college
88
00:09:17,290 --> 00:09:20,851
the role of
Desdemona or Sleeping Beauty.
89
00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:52,020
To almost all of them,
this is a shameful secret,
90
00:09:52,058 --> 00:09:55,551
known only to their wives,
not to their children.
91
00:10:15,515 --> 00:10:18,007
Still, sometimes
to dress like a woman
92
00:10:18,050 --> 00:10:20,280
may be a manly business.
93
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:22,583
These kinds of scenes
are rather frequent
94
00:10:22,622 --> 00:10:25,387
at the police stations
of many American cities
95
00:10:25,425 --> 00:10:28,190
facing the social evil
of sadists and sexual maniacs.
96
00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:44,938
Padded, shaved, perfumed,
powdered, dressed up,
97
00:10:44,977 --> 00:10:47,776
these palatable cops
will work as decoy agents
98
00:10:47,814 --> 00:10:51,751
on the public benches
or under the suburban lampposts.
99
00:10:51,784 --> 00:10:54,253
Believe it or not, by strolling
around on the sidewalks,
100
00:10:54,287 --> 00:10:56,449
they're able to get
4 to 6 sadists a night.
101
00:10:56,489 --> 00:10:59,789
But as soon as they fondle
within those soft laces,
102
00:10:59,826 --> 00:11:01,988
the suspects meet their match.
103
00:11:28,921 --> 00:11:31,049
A statistic, secondary fact:
104
00:11:31,090 --> 00:11:33,058
each of these
unpredictable Venuses
105
00:11:33,092 --> 00:11:36,062
is propositioned
each night some 30 times
106
00:11:36,095 --> 00:11:37,563
by sexually normal individuals,
107
00:11:37,597 --> 00:11:41,363
which really makes
them very mad.
108
00:12:34,687 --> 00:12:38,351
Mexican cops get very mad too
when they miss the target,
109
00:12:38,391 --> 00:12:42,157
especially
when they hurt someone.
110
00:12:43,195 --> 00:12:45,789
It happens very rarely
but it does happen.
111
00:13:40,019 --> 00:13:42,351
The truth is,
Mexicans have a rather
112
00:13:42,388 --> 00:13:44,413
original concept about death.
113
00:13:44,457 --> 00:13:46,983
Look at the way
they celebrate November 2.
114
00:13:47,026 --> 00:13:50,291
Human skulls filled
with chantilly cream, which,
115
00:13:50,329 --> 00:13:52,957
among all the
desserts by the scoop,
116
00:13:52,999 --> 00:13:55,696
is the one that looks
most like brains.
117
00:14:06,412 --> 00:14:10,246
Much requested by children,
the uncle Judas dead bodies
118
00:14:10,282 --> 00:14:12,410
are real size marzipan
dummies reproducing
119
00:14:12,451 --> 00:14:17,150
the ugly features
of the traitor,
120
00:14:17,189 --> 00:14:19,021
hanging from the fig tree.
121
00:14:19,058 --> 00:14:21,425
As it happens to all
those who die violently,
122
00:14:21,460 --> 00:14:23,360
Judas too has
undergone an autopsy,
123
00:14:23,396 --> 00:14:25,831
so that, through
the wide gash of his belly,
124
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:28,926
one can enjoy the view
of his bowels:
125
00:14:28,968 --> 00:14:32,962
heart, lungs, liver, pancreas,
kidneys are selling like crazy.
126
00:14:33,005 --> 00:14:36,168
But soon, the toughest parts
of the old scoundrel
127
00:14:36,208 --> 00:14:39,234
will be devoured
also by public acclaim.
128
00:14:53,926 --> 00:14:57,089
Mexico loves its own dead
and hates Judas
129
00:14:57,129 --> 00:14:58,756
who dishonors the category.
130
00:14:58,798 --> 00:15:02,496
With this very ancient rite,
they rid themselves
131
00:15:02,535 --> 00:15:06,972
of an unpleasant neighbor
in a clearly rational way.
132
00:15:21,053 --> 00:15:23,852
The Mexican method
to get rid of parasites
133
00:15:23,889 --> 00:15:25,050
is equally rational.
134
00:15:25,091 --> 00:15:28,061
These bugs are extremely
harmful to the agriculture.
135
00:15:28,094 --> 00:15:31,359
The Mexicans like them alive,
wrapped in tortillas
136
00:15:31,397 --> 00:15:33,559
and with a spread of hot salsa.
137
00:15:33,599 --> 00:15:35,863
Pressing energetically
these tasty omelets
138
00:15:35,901 --> 00:15:38,199
with one finger before
putting them in one's mouth
139
00:15:38,237 --> 00:15:40,763
causes the bugs to give off
that typical odor that makes
140
00:15:40,806 --> 00:15:44,140
the whole thing
even more appetizing.
141
00:16:30,856 --> 00:16:33,188
But the importance
of the bugs in the national
142
00:16:33,225 --> 00:16:36,286
economy is not limited
to nutrition.
143
00:16:36,328 --> 00:16:38,456
Some jewelers
have recently launched
144
00:16:38,497 --> 00:16:41,398
the fashion of
the evening dress bug.
145
00:16:41,433 --> 00:16:44,130
They cover it with
small golden or platinum armor,
146
00:16:44,170 --> 00:16:46,434
studded with precious stones.
147
00:16:46,472 --> 00:16:49,931
Once again, a soft stroke
of the fingers causes
148
00:16:49,975 --> 00:16:53,172
the "jewel" to give off
the same sharp odor
149
00:16:53,212 --> 00:16:56,307
that makes it
even more charming.
150
00:17:10,796 --> 00:17:13,128
Besides, decorating
decorative animals
151
00:17:13,165 --> 00:17:14,860
is not a new fashion.
152
00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:16,299
In New York, for instance,
153
00:17:16,335 --> 00:17:18,736
there are special
jewelers for dogs,
154
00:17:18,771 --> 00:17:21,399
where the faithful
woman's friend can find
155
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,704
a collar, a leash,
or even a pair of earrings
156
00:17:23,742 --> 00:17:26,336
for the reasonable
amount of $20,000.
157
00:17:26,378 --> 00:17:27,641
Make no mistake,
158
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,011
the American women
feel a totally particular
159
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:31,346
kind of affection
for their dogs.
160
00:17:31,383 --> 00:17:34,148
Among the New York Times
classified ads,
161
00:17:34,186 --> 00:17:36,678
it's not unusual to read
an ad such as this:
162
00:17:36,722 --> 00:17:40,659
"Black poodle lost.
$5,000 reward
163
00:17:40,693 --> 00:17:43,663
for bringing back
just his collar."
164
00:17:59,011 --> 00:18:02,879
"A collar of flowers
in Honolulu for only $5,000."
165
00:18:02,915 --> 00:18:05,509
Says another ad
in the same newspaper
166
00:18:05,551 --> 00:18:10,079
and promises, for that amount,
10 wild days under the sun
167
00:18:10,122 --> 00:18:12,887
of this magic island that will
bring back youth and vigor.
168
00:18:48,861 --> 00:18:51,523
Near the source
of radioactive mud,
169
00:18:51,563 --> 00:18:53,895
the speaker is translating,
for the wild tourists,
170
00:18:53,933 --> 00:18:57,631
an old Chinese saying, that
goes: "Aloha, Athema, ha ha"
171
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:09,880
According to the speaker,
the translation of
172
00:19:09,915 --> 00:19:15,115
"Aloha, Athema, ha ha", a brief
but wise Hawaiian saying, is:
173
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:17,282
After her first
half century of splendor,
174
00:19:17,323 --> 00:19:20,258
the white woman
finds out that her skin
175
00:19:20,292 --> 00:19:22,226
is a little worn out,
but she has hopes:
176
00:19:22,261 --> 00:19:26,664
for only $65,
taxes included,
177
00:19:26,699 --> 00:19:30,033
the volcanic, radioactive mud
of this blazing island
178
00:19:30,069 --> 00:19:32,163
will miraculously make
the shining whiteness
179
00:19:32,204 --> 00:19:35,765
of her skin mesmerize again
180
00:19:35,808 --> 00:19:38,209
to her husband's
astonished eyes.
181
00:19:38,243 --> 00:19:40,143
"Aloha, Athema ha ba."
182
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:32,425
This mud of a totally
different nature is used
183
00:20:32,464 --> 00:20:35,195
by the women of
the African Masai villages.
184
00:20:35,234 --> 00:20:37,726
It's that organic,
viscid, sticky mud that,
185
00:20:37,770 --> 00:20:40,171
in our areas,
has a terrible reputation
186
00:20:40,205 --> 00:20:42,799
and is uneasy to mention.
187
00:20:42,841 --> 00:20:45,538
But here it's used
for all purposes: as fuel,
188
00:20:45,577 --> 00:20:48,672
construction material,
disinfectant, purge,
189
00:20:48,714 --> 00:20:52,309
plaster for broken legs
and, finally, when spread out
190
00:20:52,351 --> 00:20:55,321
on the roofs of the huts,
at night, it gives off
191
00:20:55,354 --> 00:20:58,722
an aphrodisiac aroma
that inspires and encourages
192
00:20:58,757 --> 00:21:00,316
the husbands' activity.
193
00:21:19,678 --> 00:21:22,704
And the wives?
Here they are, eating stones
194
00:21:22,748 --> 00:21:26,412
from the dried up riverbeds
195
00:21:26,452 --> 00:21:28,978
that they swallow
with little sips of water.
196
00:21:29,021 --> 00:21:31,115
They say that just one
of these little stones,
197
00:21:31,156 --> 00:21:33,818
ingested with
the new rising moon,
198
00:21:33,859 --> 00:21:37,227
has the power to make
them sterile for one month.
199
00:21:48,841 --> 00:21:53,540
We said that one stone is
sufficient to make them sterile,
200
00:21:53,579 --> 00:21:56,014
but when the husbands
go away on their hunting trips
201
00:21:56,048 --> 00:21:59,143
and leave the wives
in their fragrant villages
202
00:21:59,184 --> 00:22:02,347
with the young men of their
tribes, rising moon or not,
203
00:22:02,387 --> 00:22:05,823
they rush down the valley
and gorge themselves on them.
204
00:22:13,665 --> 00:22:18,068
But the women of New Guinea
must face the opposite problem.
205
00:22:18,103 --> 00:22:19,696
If they want to find a husband,
206
00:22:19,738 --> 00:22:23,265
they need to prove to be able
to give him a least one child.
207
00:22:23,308 --> 00:22:26,744
Therefore, only at the end
of a premarital training,
208
00:22:26,778 --> 00:22:30,043
which obviously can't be
shorter than nine months,
209
00:22:30,082 --> 00:22:32,483
during an animated
cocktail party,
210
00:22:32,518 --> 00:22:38,218
the bastard babies can meet
momma's official fiance.
211
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:18,621
They may look like one of
those transient couples who,
212
00:23:18,664 --> 00:23:20,962
here in California, always
carry their home with them.
213
00:23:20,999 --> 00:23:24,299
But they are two rascals who,
when things turn to worse,
214
00:23:24,336 --> 00:23:26,771
move from a State
of the Union to another
215
00:23:26,805 --> 00:23:29,706
to fool the local law.
216
00:23:29,741 --> 00:23:33,507
But, alas! Nowhere else
in the world like in America
217
00:23:33,545 --> 00:23:37,140
these illegal houses need
to show off so blatantly.
218
00:23:37,182 --> 00:23:39,651
Constantly moving
from one address to another,
219
00:23:39,685 --> 00:23:43,781
these whorehouses
are never able to keep a date.
220
00:23:43,822 --> 00:23:47,053
Meanwhile, without
the moral support of a phone,
221
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:49,186
the call girls play solitaire.
222
00:24:00,372 --> 00:24:03,672
In America nothing is more
sad than these merry ladies.
223
00:24:03,709 --> 00:24:06,144
The small town young men
have no vocation
224
00:24:06,178 --> 00:24:08,943
for the original
sin and, even worse,
225
00:24:08,981 --> 00:24:12,246
they have no original
vocation for sin.
226
00:24:33,939 --> 00:24:35,998
In America, the management
of marital effusions
227
00:24:36,041 --> 00:24:38,237
belongs to women.
228
00:24:38,277 --> 00:24:40,678
The erotic energy. necessary
to perpetuate the species,
229
00:24:40,712 --> 00:24:43,238
is produced by massive
demonstrations of charm
230
00:24:43,282 --> 00:24:45,580
and sex appeal
and it's nationalized.
231
00:24:45,617 --> 00:24:48,746
The users are not allowed
to consume it randomly.
232
00:24:48,787 --> 00:24:52,553
Their flux is regulated
by an automatic meter that
233
00:24:52,591 --> 00:24:57,427
works only on weekends, or
for some great charity events.
234
00:24:57,462 --> 00:25:00,193
This is, indeed,
a great charity event.
235
00:25:00,232 --> 00:25:03,395
As it's well known,
the last Parisian fashion
236
00:25:03,435 --> 00:25:04,596
has failed to promote hats.
237
00:25:04,636 --> 00:25:07,901
Consequently, the market
for American hats is shrinking.
238
00:25:07,939 --> 00:25:09,964
Well brought up ladies
inquire, are moved,
239
00:25:10,008 --> 00:25:12,978
and organized, then they get
together and demonstrate.
240
00:25:13,011 --> 00:25:14,638
They go around
with such headgear that,
241
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,513
if they don't quite
encourage the hat fashion,
242
00:25:17,549 --> 00:25:20,484
they surely attract
the people's attention
243
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:22,385
over the gravity
of the situation.
244
00:25:51,083 --> 00:25:54,144
Against the oncoming
crisis, sex helps too.
245
00:25:54,186 --> 00:25:56,245
Rhythmettes and Majorettes
kick their legs up
246
00:25:56,288 --> 00:25:58,222
on the presidential
stand of the committee
247
00:25:58,256 --> 00:26:01,590
for the rescuing of the hat,
while some girls, selected
248
00:26:01,626 --> 00:26:04,118
among the local good society,
sell kisses to help
249
00:26:04,162 --> 00:26:06,824
the families of
the unemployed hatters.
250
00:26:06,865 --> 00:26:09,698
One kiss, $5.
Three kisses $10.
251
00:26:38,663 --> 00:26:42,622
The kisses are real, perfect,
guaranteed, sterilized,
252
00:26:42,667 --> 00:26:45,102
like the products
of the supermarket.
253
00:26:53,678 --> 00:26:56,704
One kiss $5. Three kisses $10.
254
00:26:56,748 --> 00:26:59,774
What is a kiss? A pink
parenthesis surrounding
255
00:26:59,818 --> 00:27:03,118
the word "dollar".
What's a parenthesis?
256
00:27:03,155 --> 00:27:06,455
It's $2 wrapped around
the word "love".
257
00:27:06,491 --> 00:27:10,018
What is love? It's a dollar
with a capital
258
00:27:39,691 --> 00:27:42,456
What is an automatic restaurant?
259
00:27:42,494 --> 00:27:44,861
It's a place for lonely men,
260
00:27:44,896 --> 00:27:48,059
on the day their wives
are busy rescuing hats.
261
00:27:48,099 --> 00:27:50,431
It's a kind of wailing wall
for widowers of lunch
262
00:27:50,469 --> 00:27:52,699
made up of many small
burial niches
263
00:27:52,737 --> 00:27:54,171
and under each niche
there's a tablet
264
00:27:54,206 --> 00:27:58,541
with the name of the food
that lies there.
265
00:27:58,577 --> 00:28:00,671
One can also try
to identify the food
266
00:28:00,712 --> 00:28:04,205
through the peephole
but it's not advisable.
267
00:28:04,249 --> 00:28:07,514
On one side of each grave,
where there should be flowers,
268
00:28:07,552 --> 00:28:09,816
there is a slit
where one drops a dollar.
269
00:28:09,855 --> 00:28:12,187
Finally, if you
have chosen a steak,
270
00:28:12,224 --> 00:28:14,454
you'll get a slice of apple pie.
271
00:28:29,941 --> 00:28:32,467
And this is
an automatic highway.
272
00:28:32,511 --> 00:28:34,309
Do you want to go,
let's say, to Los Angeles?
273
00:28:34,346 --> 00:28:37,646
Drop a token in the right box
and, "thank you very much",
274
00:28:37,682 --> 00:28:39,980
you'll end up in the morgue.
275
00:28:48,693 --> 00:28:52,630
It's rush hour. 10 cars by
the second on six lanes.
276
00:28:52,664 --> 00:28:56,430
600 cars by the minute.
Speed limit: 50 miles,
277
00:28:56,468 --> 00:28:58,027
35 kilometers, an hour.
278
00:28:58,069 --> 00:29:00,333
7 traffic signals
every hundred meters,
279
00:29:00,372 --> 00:29:01,567
seventy for each kilometer,
280
00:29:01,606 --> 00:29:04,041
one dead and 4 injured
per hour for each mile,
281
00:29:04,075 --> 00:29:07,067
10 dead and 40 injured every
10 hours for 100 miles,
282
00:29:07,112 --> 00:29:10,980
100 dead and 400 injured
every 100 hours for 1000 miles.
283
00:29:15,253 --> 00:29:18,245
But there are no precise
statistical reports about
284
00:29:18,290 --> 00:29:22,056
episodes of hysteria
or craziness after driving
285
00:29:22,093 --> 00:29:23,390
24 hours in hell.
286
00:29:26,798 --> 00:29:29,426
Still, we have to acknowledge
that in America,
287
00:29:29,467 --> 00:29:30,662
for the thunders of hysteria
288
00:29:30,702 --> 00:29:33,194
and craziness,
there is a good lightning-rod.
289
00:29:33,238 --> 00:29:36,139
In these quiet motels,
far from the big traffic jam,
290
00:29:36,174 --> 00:29:39,542
there's more and more of
these projection rooms
291
00:29:39,578 --> 00:29:41,945
where the motorist, survivor
of the war of the nerves,
292
00:29:41,980 --> 00:29:44,847
can relive, on the screen,
the tough battles of the day
293
00:29:44,883 --> 00:29:47,818
and indulge in some reactions
that the police would
294
00:29:47,852 --> 00:29:50,082
consider inappropriate.
295
00:29:50,121 --> 00:29:54,115
They call them psychological
decompression rooms,
296
00:29:54,159 --> 00:29:57,151
where for $1.50,
the motorist is entitled
297
00:29:57,195 --> 00:30:00,859
to a first row seat and six
pounds of rotten tomatoes,
298
00:30:00,899 --> 00:30:03,027
which is the amount
the American psychologist
299
00:30:03,068 --> 00:30:05,901
considered sufficient
for a good decompression.
300
00:30:26,725 --> 00:30:28,853
The collective hysteria
of this crowd that twists
301
00:30:28,893 --> 00:30:30,691
and shouts in a deconsecrated
302
00:30:30,729 --> 00:30:32,925
Cilento's church
cannot be ascribed to
303
00:30:32,964 --> 00:30:36,525
the intense traffic
of this small village
304
00:30:36,568 --> 00:30:39,128
hidden down in a valley
and secluded for centuries.
305
00:30:39,170 --> 00:30:40,695
Hysteria is the germ
of craziness that nests
306
00:30:40,739 --> 00:30:43,003
in all men forever.
Scientists and popular
307
00:30:43,041 --> 00:30:47,205
imagination gave it difficult
or picturesque names.
308
00:30:47,245 --> 00:30:49,873
They tried to identify
the causes with scientific
309
00:30:49,914 --> 00:30:53,077
methods or
the resources of black magic.
310
00:30:53,118 --> 00:30:55,246
Science, for instance,
calls these people
311
00:30:55,286 --> 00:30:57,880
"the tremulous" and
ascribes their convulsions
312
00:30:57,922 --> 00:30:59,686
to a lack of proteins.
313
00:30:59,724 --> 00:31:02,250
But the people
call them "tarantolati",
314
00:31:02,293 --> 00:31:04,227
which means:
bitten by the tarantula,
315
00:31:04,262 --> 00:31:08,495
since to them the tarantula is
the incarnation of the devil.
316
00:31:08,533 --> 00:31:12,470
Be it proteins or tarantulas,
here they are,
317
00:31:12,504 --> 00:31:15,906
with their anguish, their fear,
their helpless fury.
318
00:31:15,940 --> 00:31:19,376
What do they scream about?
Nothing that makes any sense.
319
00:31:19,411 --> 00:31:23,541
What do they want?
Nothing any human being may ask.
320
00:31:23,581 --> 00:31:26,380
What does their
recurrent madness mean?
321
00:31:26,418 --> 00:31:29,353
Nothing more than
the universal madness means
322
00:31:29,387 --> 00:31:34,484
when we hate, love, adore, kill,
when we curse and when we pray.
323
00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:57,977
Pathetic in his craziness,
or tragic in his humbleness,
324
00:31:58,016 --> 00:32:02,010
man is always a shy actor
showing his amazement
325
00:32:02,053 --> 00:32:04,181
and when he tortures his flesh,
326
00:32:04,222 --> 00:32:07,123
playing a role condemned
even by the church,
327
00:32:07,158 --> 00:32:11,618
he desperately awaits
an applause from heaven.
328
00:32:29,647 --> 00:32:31,979
For years, at Villachira
de Franca, in Portugal,
329
00:32:32,016 --> 00:32:35,008
an act of
absurd humbleness keeps
330
00:32:35,053 --> 00:32:37,283
defying the Bishop's
prohibition.
331
00:32:37,322 --> 00:32:38,585
The image of a Saint
332
00:32:38,623 --> 00:32:41,615
will soon climb
these steps that the believers
333
00:32:41,659 --> 00:32:44,026
are washing with
their bleeding tongues.
334
00:33:06,818 --> 00:33:09,844
Every Good Saturday morning,
at Cucullo,
335
00:33:09,888 --> 00:33:12,220
in the Abruzzi,
hundreds of believers,
336
00:33:12,257 --> 00:33:14,624
young and old, ill or whole,
337
00:33:14,659 --> 00:33:17,492
have pulled the chain of
this bell for centuries
338
00:33:17,529 --> 00:33:19,156
to express their jubilation.
339
00:33:19,197 --> 00:33:22,223
Recently their new priest
wanted to abolish it,
340
00:33:22,267 --> 00:33:23,962
but the whole village
revolted and threatened
341
00:33:24,002 --> 00:33:26,061
to desert the church.
342
00:34:29,701 --> 00:34:33,865
At Pobra Do Caraminal,
in Southern Spain,
343
00:34:33,905 --> 00:34:36,306
it's a usual custom
to buy one's own coffin
344
00:34:36,341 --> 00:34:39,538
well in advance
and take part in a sort of
345
00:34:39,577 --> 00:34:42,638
funeral dress rehearsal.
346
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,911
But if during the parade
they keep
347
00:34:45,950 --> 00:34:48,476
the horizontal posture
requested by the circumstance,
348
00:34:48,519 --> 00:34:52,683
once in the church, they rise
again to thank heaven
349
00:34:52,724 --> 00:34:54,624
for having preserved their live.
350
00:35:23,388 --> 00:35:26,380
Every Good Saturday morning
at Sarsina, in Apulia,
351
00:35:26,424 --> 00:35:28,859
the traditional
"Affruntata" takes place.
352
00:35:28,893 --> 00:35:31,362
The "Affruntata" is the statue
of the Virgin trying
353
00:35:31,396 --> 00:35:34,058
to avoid the believers
who demand that she removes
354
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,725
her black dress
355
00:35:35,767 --> 00:35:38,793
because her son has risen again.
But the Virgin is doubtful,
356
00:35:38,836 --> 00:35:40,099
while the crowd screams,
357
00:35:40,138 --> 00:35:44,234
she runs back and forth
with maternal amazement.
358
00:35:44,275 --> 00:35:47,108
But she finally complies
and drops her mournful coat,
359
00:35:47,145 --> 00:35:48,874
cheered by a storming applause.
360
00:36:02,393 --> 00:36:05,021
All over India,
in the Taifusian days,
361
00:36:05,063 --> 00:36:08,328
fakirs perform stoical
and choreographic exploits.
362
00:36:08,366 --> 00:36:12,166
The more their body is pierced,
tortured, wounded, humiliated,
363
00:36:12,203 --> 00:36:14,831
the more complete
their victory over pain.
364
00:36:14,872 --> 00:36:17,273
The better man was able
to overcome his pain,
365
00:36:17,308 --> 00:36:20,642
the sooner he was able
to defeat his flesh.
366
00:36:38,696 --> 00:36:41,290
The way that leads
to the Indian Nirvana
367
00:36:41,332 --> 00:36:44,666
is a long burning trail
to be crossed barefoot.
368
00:36:44,702 --> 00:36:49,071
Nirvana is not Paradise.
It's the ultimate end to pain,
369
00:36:49,107 --> 00:36:52,771
the only essence of life,
in which man,
370
00:36:52,810 --> 00:36:55,211
ceases to suffer,
ceases to exist.
371
00:37:28,746 --> 00:37:31,113
Walking on fire,
the Indians don't intend
372
00:37:31,149 --> 00:37:33,675
to make a spectacle
of their pain
373
00:37:33,718 --> 00:37:36,153
or to offer it to the divinity.
374
00:37:36,187 --> 00:37:38,918
On the contrary,
he wants not to suffer,
375
00:37:38,956 --> 00:37:41,823
that is, he no longer
wants to be painfully alive.
376
00:37:41,859 --> 00:37:44,453
Because life is pain
and it's every man's duty
377
00:37:44,495 --> 00:37:47,396
to try to get rid of it.
378
00:38:11,155 --> 00:38:13,715
That's why Saigon,
where life is pain,
379
00:38:13,758 --> 00:38:16,625
is today, as never before,
a city where life is tragic.
380
00:38:16,661 --> 00:38:19,153
In its silent and empty
streets, one can sense
381
00:38:19,197 --> 00:38:22,724
a cry of revolt that
no crowd could ever express.
382
00:38:22,767 --> 00:38:25,964
The temples and pagodas
that the army tried to destroy
383
00:38:26,003 --> 00:38:28,199
have multiplied
into these eloquent ruins
384
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,470
harboring the silent amazement
of millions of Buddhists
385
00:38:31,509 --> 00:38:33,944
offended by the sacrilege.
386
00:38:33,978 --> 00:38:35,776
Everywhere,
fences and trestles,
387
00:38:35,813 --> 00:38:38,805
useless in this solitude,
are ready to face
388
00:38:38,850 --> 00:38:42,912
the violence that will not take
place because it doesn't exist.
389
00:38:42,954 --> 00:38:45,582
From up above,
President Diem dominates
390
00:38:45,623 --> 00:38:47,614
and controls an empty city.
391
00:38:50,261 --> 00:38:52,662
At the police check point
on Boulevard Pasteur,
392
00:38:52,697 --> 00:38:55,189
a sign informs the journalists
that it's prohibited to take
393
00:38:55,233 --> 00:38:57,167
photographs and
transgressors will be
394
00:38:57,201 --> 00:39:00,034
punished under
the martial law.
395
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,287
The troops that the President
has just drafted
396
00:39:18,322 --> 00:39:22,418
and the policemen,
wearing fatigues, control
397
00:39:22,460 --> 00:39:24,656
the streets near
the American embassy
398
00:39:24,695 --> 00:39:27,756
which the authorities
suspect of sheltering
399
00:39:27,798 --> 00:39:31,826
two acclaimed monks
who escaped a raid.
400
00:39:31,869 --> 00:39:35,828
The sentinels are ordered to
search all approaching cars
401
00:39:35,873 --> 00:39:38,137
and to shoot at anybody
who attempts
402
00:39:38,176 --> 00:39:39,234
to avoid being checked.
403
00:39:46,784 --> 00:39:49,583
The destiny of the city
is decided beyond this
404
00:39:49,620 --> 00:39:51,054
barrier of barbed wire.
405
00:39:51,088 --> 00:39:53,557
President Diem
and his counselor Nu
406
00:39:53,591 --> 00:39:55,525
have taken on full power.
407
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,824
But in the war
against the Buddhist,
408
00:39:57,862 --> 00:40:01,298
Madame Nu is the only
person in charge.
409
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,439
All over Viet Nam,
the monks suspected
410
00:40:12,476 --> 00:40:15,275
of belonging to the defense
committee are arrested.
411
00:40:15,313 --> 00:40:17,145
These images are unbelievable.
412
00:40:17,181 --> 00:40:19,878
But even more unbelievable
is the fact that,
413
00:40:19,917 --> 00:40:22,079
after 2,500 years,
with the creation of a committee
414
00:40:22,119 --> 00:40:23,780
the Buddhists contradicted
themselves.
415
00:40:23,821 --> 00:40:25,915
When his disciples
asked him to become
416
00:40:25,957 --> 00:40:28,358
the community's chief,
Buddha answered:
417
00:40:28,392 --> 00:40:30,793
"May each of us obey
his own conscience
418
00:40:30,828 --> 00:40:32,956
and seek no other
shelter but himself."
419
00:40:32,997 --> 00:40:35,398
If now they have deserted
that shelter and risk
420
00:40:35,433 --> 00:40:37,424
to betray the spirit
of the master,
421
00:40:37,468 --> 00:40:39,698
there is only one explanation:
422
00:40:39,737 --> 00:40:42,365
the most gentle of men
have been overwhelmed
423
00:40:42,406 --> 00:40:43,601
by the deepest despair.
424
00:42:48,933 --> 00:42:51,732
Only in jails
and concentration camps,
425
00:42:51,769 --> 00:42:54,670
threatened by the guns,
do they seem to regain
426
00:42:54,705 --> 00:42:57,072
their lost faith
in the ancient creed.
427
00:42:57,108 --> 00:43:00,442
If you respond to hatred
with hatred, said Buddha,
428
00:43:00,478 --> 00:43:02,640
hatred will never end.
429
00:43:03,781 --> 00:43:05,909
They no longer
fight in the street.
430
00:43:05,950 --> 00:43:08,351
They sit down and
let their hair be cut
431
00:43:08,386 --> 00:43:11,151
to show solidarity
with their priests.
432
00:43:11,188 --> 00:43:13,350
Now, they will confront
the helmets of Diem
433
00:43:13,391 --> 00:43:15,553
with their shaved skulls.
434
00:43:48,893 --> 00:43:51,919
Many of them will enter
the monasteries in search
435
00:43:51,962 --> 00:43:54,761
of the lost truth which
teaches how to create
436
00:43:54,799 --> 00:43:57,461
our inner silence
and listen to it,
437
00:43:57,501 --> 00:44:00,368
how to kill desire
and passion to enjoy
438
00:44:00,404 --> 00:44:04,238
the perfect gladness
of the fading flame.
439
00:44:11,348 --> 00:44:13,874
The revolt of the Buddhists
in Saigon followed
440
00:44:13,918 --> 00:44:17,320
the first public suicide
of last May 11,
441
00:44:17,354 --> 00:44:21,484
when the monk Ching Thien Dien
demonstrated
442
00:44:21,525 --> 00:44:24,859
with a terrible act that
Buddha himself would condemn,
443
00:44:24,895 --> 00:44:29,162
that in order to fight any form
of persecution with equal arms,
444
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,363
even Buddhism needs martyrs.
445
00:45:58,255 --> 00:46:00,849
They were beautiful,
superb, elegant, bright
446
00:46:00,891 --> 00:46:03,861
and light snowflakes.
447
00:46:03,894 --> 00:46:07,296
Livingstone used to say:
"The Masai, the Kikuyu,
448
00:46:07,331 --> 00:46:11,768
the Samburu, the Watussi are
dark men with white souls."
449
00:46:11,802 --> 00:46:14,794
Each evening, at dusk,
I see them soaring over me,
450
00:46:14,838 --> 00:46:18,365
filling the sky with
ancient, endless flights.
451
00:47:24,742 --> 00:47:26,642
The white Flamingos
of the Magadi lake
452
00:47:26,677 --> 00:47:28,668
have always lived here.
453
00:47:28,712 --> 00:47:31,875
In all the African continent,
they have chosen only
454
00:47:31,915 --> 00:47:34,816
these shores to breed
and prosper.
455
00:47:34,852 --> 00:47:36,820
Then, years ago
the English built
456
00:47:36,854 --> 00:47:39,949
a factory of soda
that dumped tons of poisoning
457
00:47:39,990 --> 00:47:41,685
waste into these waters.
458
00:47:41,725 --> 00:47:47,391
The eggs rot, the chicks
die after a pitiful agony.
459
00:47:47,431 --> 00:47:49,900
The adults now fly higher
and higher through
460
00:47:49,933 --> 00:47:54,837
the African sky
until they disappear.
461
00:49:08,445 --> 00:49:10,470
Another unusual aspect
of the war declared
462
00:49:10,514 --> 00:49:13,711
by mankind on birds,
since the beginning,
463
00:49:13,751 --> 00:49:15,776
is offered by
the Chinese in Singapore.
464
00:49:15,819 --> 00:49:19,414
The birds fighting in
this cage are two musical
465
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:21,948
blackbirds, a specimen that
is about to disappear.
466
00:49:21,992 --> 00:49:24,893
The feeling that pushes
them to the mortal combat
467
00:49:24,928 --> 00:49:26,919
is not an inborn
sense of revolt,
468
00:49:26,964 --> 00:49:28,625
but a kind of occasional hatred,
469
00:49:28,665 --> 00:49:33,159
produced by the breeders
with a pretty basic method.
470
00:49:33,203 --> 00:49:35,729
For weeks, they keep
the birds in two separate
471
00:49:35,773 --> 00:49:39,539
but very close cages and
while one of the two
472
00:49:39,576 --> 00:49:43,274
is abundantly fed, the other
is almost starved to death.
473
00:49:43,313 --> 00:49:47,841
Naturally, the birds will not
fight a very friendly match
474
00:49:47,885 --> 00:49:49,683
and it's taken
for granted that
475
00:49:49,720 --> 00:49:52,951
the weakest of the two
will be the first to die.
476
00:49:52,990 --> 00:49:55,482
But the Chinese
audience doesn't care.
477
00:49:55,526 --> 00:49:57,620
They follow
the fight not as a sport,
478
00:49:57,661 --> 00:50:00,392
but to see the great
spectacle of death,
479
00:50:00,430 --> 00:50:05,129
provided it'll be cruel
and, most of all, slow.
480
00:50:56,286 --> 00:50:59,620
It would seem impossible
to have two small fish
481
00:50:59,656 --> 00:51:02,284
fight in a fishbowl,
but the Chinese can do it.
482
00:51:02,326 --> 00:51:04,988
They discovered
that a certain kind of fish
483
00:51:05,028 --> 00:51:07,827
that live in the rice fields,
when immersed in a solution
484
00:51:07,865 --> 00:51:09,458
of fermented camphor and water,
485
00:51:09,499 --> 00:51:11,695
become affected by
a kind of madness that
486
00:51:11,735 --> 00:51:13,703
force them to fight to death.
487
00:51:13,737 --> 00:51:17,640
This kind of spectacle
is chiefly dedicated to kids,
488
00:51:17,674 --> 00:51:20,109
who follow attentively
the phases of the fight,
489
00:51:20,143 --> 00:51:22,441
and wait for
that great ending
490
00:51:22,479 --> 00:51:26,473
that always enchants
the Chinese people:
491
00:51:26,516 --> 00:51:28,143
the triumph of death.
492
00:51:28,185 --> 00:51:32,144
One people that currently
numbers over 500 million.
493
00:51:52,409 --> 00:51:55,003
This aquarium is
bigger and so are the fish.
494
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:56,740
But we are in America,
495
00:51:56,780 --> 00:51:58,646
where everything
is more voluminous.
496
00:51:58,682 --> 00:52:00,844
It's the Marine-land pool,
in Honolulu,
497
00:52:00,884 --> 00:52:03,854
where a swimmer enacts
a fight with a shark.
498
00:52:16,466 --> 00:52:20,334
He starts by crossing
himself and faces danger.
499
00:52:20,370 --> 00:52:22,429
The sharks
have been fed abundantly
500
00:52:22,472 --> 00:52:24,600
to avert any temptation
and the audience follows
501
00:52:24,641 --> 00:52:27,167
attentively
the phases of the fight,
502
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:29,838
waiting for that great
ending that forever,
503
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,747
at all ages, fascinates
the American people:
504
00:52:32,783 --> 00:52:34,683
the triumph of life.
505
00:52:34,718 --> 00:52:38,552
One people that currently
numbers only 300 millions.
506
00:52:46,997 --> 00:52:50,023
20 years ago
there were 2,000 Elbogo,
507
00:52:50,067 --> 00:52:51,398
today, only 50 are left.
508
00:52:51,435 --> 00:52:53,802
They only live in one village,
509
00:52:53,837 --> 00:52:55,862
on the eastern shores
of the Lake Victoria.
510
00:52:55,906 --> 00:53:00,400
Their territory, as big as a
province, is arid and desolated.
511
00:53:00,444 --> 00:53:03,141
Their only food
is crocodile meat,
512
00:53:03,180 --> 00:53:05,114
which they capture
at the source of the river.
513
00:53:05,148 --> 00:53:08,846
It's white meat
that eases hunger
514
00:53:08,885 --> 00:53:10,353
and doesn't taste too bad.
515
00:53:10,387 --> 00:53:13,322
The problem is that eating
crocodile every day kills
516
00:53:13,357 --> 00:53:16,258
the seed of life in the men.
517
00:53:33,143 --> 00:53:38,013
Still, today too, at the
village, they eat crocodile.
518
00:53:38,048 --> 00:53:41,018
Presently the Elbogo
are just a small, sterile
519
00:53:41,051 --> 00:53:43,452
and resigned tribe
whose hunger
520
00:53:43,487 --> 00:53:46,388
and no variety of food
have doomed to extinction.
521
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:48,619
In the last 30 years,
at the village only
522
00:53:48,658 --> 00:53:53,118
one child was born:
their last, fragile hope.
523
00:54:43,313 --> 00:54:45,782
His name is Siba,
he's 7 years old.
524
00:54:45,816 --> 00:54:48,376
Today is an exceptional
day for him.
525
00:54:48,418 --> 00:54:52,116
The fishermen came back
with a big fish, all for him.
526
00:54:52,155 --> 00:54:54,556
Because Siba, in order
to grow healthy and strong
527
00:54:54,591 --> 00:54:56,821
and have many children
in the future,
528
00:54:56,860 --> 00:54:59,830
must not eat
crocodile every day.
529
00:54:59,863 --> 00:55:02,195
It's one of those large
carps that seem to be
530
00:55:02,232 --> 00:55:05,862
made of gold
and are rarely caught.
531
00:55:05,902 --> 00:55:07,996
It'll be all his for
a whole week and no one
532
00:55:08,038 --> 00:55:10,803
will claim even
the smallest piece of it.
533
00:55:10,841 --> 00:55:14,505
Still, Siba is sad.
He's a lonely little boy
534
00:55:14,544 --> 00:55:18,208
unable to share the joy
of such a wonderful fish.
535
00:55:45,609 --> 00:55:49,876
But in our world, where we
don't eat crocodile every day,
536
00:55:49,913 --> 00:55:53,611
women has always been the
biggest business of all times.
537
00:56:27,651 --> 00:56:30,211
Take, for instance,
pulp fiction books.
538
00:56:30,253 --> 00:56:32,449
You'd think they sell
for what's inside?
539
00:56:32,489 --> 00:56:35,186
Not a chance.
They sell for what's outside.
540
00:56:35,225 --> 00:56:38,684
This is a big American
studio that specializes
541
00:56:38,728 --> 00:56:41,129
in photos
for pulp fiction books.
542
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:43,155
The recipe is always the same.
543
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:47,068
Take a girl, al dente, if you
can, cut her in small pieces,
544
00:56:47,103 --> 00:56:51,665
let her brown lightly and
serve her cold, bleeding rare.
545
00:59:56,159 --> 00:59:58,992
Slavery has been abolished
all over the world,
546
00:59:59,028 --> 01:00:02,157
as the late Hammarskjold
wrote two years ago
547
01:00:02,198 --> 01:00:04,428
when he was
the UN Secretary-General.
548
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:06,265
The infamous
slave markets are only
549
01:00:06,302 --> 01:00:09,761
a sad memory of long ago.
550
01:00:09,806 --> 01:00:11,900
True. Except for this one.
551
01:00:11,941 --> 01:00:14,467
We discovered it,
risking our life,
552
01:00:14,511 --> 01:00:17,003
between Aden and Mukalla,
on the coasts of the Red Sea.
553
01:00:17,046 --> 01:00:19,481
These girls are Somali,
Ragandi, Nanda,
554
01:00:19,516 --> 01:00:22,884
Kikuyu. All of them
are between 12 and 16.
555
01:00:22,919 --> 01:00:25,286
They cost somewhere
near 1/2 million liras each
556
01:00:25,321 --> 01:00:28,484
and before they get old in
the oriental whorehouses,
557
01:00:28,525 --> 01:00:31,517
they will yield 20 times more.
558
01:01:53,710 --> 01:01:56,475
We are sorry for referring
to the U.N. again,
559
01:01:56,513 --> 01:01:58,379
but we have something to add.
560
01:01:58,414 --> 01:02:01,213
We have the testimony
of this English officer,
561
01:02:01,251 --> 01:02:03,151
Lieutenant Marlon Steel,
562
01:02:03,186 --> 01:02:06,884
from the 3rd district of
the Maridi's military police.
563
01:02:06,923 --> 01:02:09,790
On May 6,
they arrested, in Kivu,
564
01:02:09,826 --> 01:02:12,488
five slave dealers,
guilty of using
565
01:02:12,529 --> 01:02:17,194
these tools of torture
on the Bakudu kids
566
01:02:17,233 --> 01:02:20,965
so they can beg
and evoke the people's pity
567
01:02:21,004 --> 01:02:24,338
with their deformed bodies.
568
01:03:53,129 --> 01:03:54,619
We feel pain and outrage
569
01:03:54,664 --> 01:03:58,601
for lingering on the images
of this terrible document.
570
01:03:58,635 --> 01:04:01,332
This is also painful
and outrageous for this young
571
01:04:01,371 --> 01:04:04,204
English officer
performing the inspection.
572
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:06,675
But that's his duty.
573
01:04:06,709 --> 01:04:12,045
To you, to us, to the whole
world that calls itself
574
01:04:12,081 --> 01:04:15,312
civilized and feels at peace
with itself and with God,
575
01:04:15,351 --> 01:04:17,319
this is a screaming indictment.
576
01:04:54,090 --> 01:04:59,153
Yes, if we use so many
expressions like "dog's life",
577
01:04:59,195 --> 01:05:01,687
"dog's weather,"
"to die like a dog" and,
578
01:05:01,731 --> 01:05:04,098
most of all, "dog's world",
there must be a reason.
579
01:05:04,133 --> 01:05:06,431
Look at this poor dog,
tied up to a post,
580
01:05:06,469 --> 01:05:09,461
under the scorching dog's heat.
581
01:05:09,505 --> 01:05:12,099
You know what they want
from him? To bring on rain.
582
01:05:12,141 --> 01:05:14,337
This is the sacrifice
offered to the Rain God
583
01:05:14,377 --> 01:05:19,577
during the long droughts, by the
Nandi, in the equatorial Africa.
584
01:05:36,399 --> 01:05:39,835
Sudan is an eternally
thirsty African region.
585
01:05:39,869 --> 01:05:42,429
On a territory of
about 30 thousand hectares,
586
01:05:42,472 --> 01:05:44,736
it only rains one month a year.
587
01:05:44,774 --> 01:05:47,106
The few dewdrops
that fall overnight
588
01:05:47,143 --> 01:05:49,077
on the large leaves
of these plants
589
01:05:49,112 --> 01:05:52,639
are a treasure that the women
pick up with a trembling hand.
590
01:06:42,398 --> 01:06:46,301
The water festival in Brussels,
under the Mannequin Pisse.
591
01:06:46,335 --> 01:06:48,702
They say that the girls
who drink from this
592
01:06:48,738 --> 01:06:50,536
incontinent character's
so called faucet
593
01:06:50,573 --> 01:06:52,940
will get married
within the year
594
01:06:52,975 --> 01:06:54,909
and will have at
least 3 children.
595
01:07:33,783 --> 01:07:36,081
The water festival
goes on through the night
596
01:07:36,118 --> 01:07:39,247
at the "Urinal",
a fashionable spot whose name
597
01:07:39,288 --> 01:07:41,017
doesn't need to be explained.
598
01:08:09,318 --> 01:08:12,151
Truthful to the good taste
of the event,
599
01:08:12,188 --> 01:08:16,216
the strippers are wrapped
in "pink toilet paper."
600
01:08:16,259 --> 01:08:20,662
The spirit of Mannequin Pisse
flies through the sprinkles.
601
01:08:20,696 --> 01:08:23,358
The paper melts,
while the water pours down
602
01:08:23,399 --> 01:08:25,629
gurgling through
the toilet drain.
603
01:08:25,668 --> 01:08:27,295
The allegory is complete.
604
01:08:46,522 --> 01:08:48,081
There are no metaphors here.
605
01:08:48,124 --> 01:08:50,388
These are cows in
the real sense of the word
606
01:08:50,426 --> 01:08:55,227
and this is a service station
for their wash and lube.
607
01:08:55,264 --> 01:08:57,358
Americans
are a practical people
608
01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:00,426
and don't give a damn about
our European skepticism.
609
01:09:00,469 --> 01:09:02,801
To them, a cow is a machine
to produce milk,
610
01:09:02,838 --> 01:09:05,034
therefore it has
to be well lubricated.
611
01:09:05,074 --> 01:09:07,475
They would even put
them in evening dresses
612
01:09:07,510 --> 01:09:09,672
if that provided
a few more liters.
613
01:09:28,464 --> 01:09:32,196
America trusts cows
so much that last year
614
01:09:32,234 --> 01:09:34,635
it shipped 300 of them
to the Elmolo region,
615
01:09:34,670 --> 01:09:36,536
a depressed area
in the heart of Africa,
616
01:09:36,572 --> 01:09:39,064
on the southern
banks of lake Rudolf,
617
01:09:39,108 --> 01:09:42,043
where cows were,
till then, unknown.
618
01:09:42,078 --> 01:09:43,705
Morally speaking,
it was undoubtedly
619
01:09:43,746 --> 01:09:45,077
a commendable initiative.
620
01:09:45,114 --> 01:09:47,173
But in practice,
the Americans overlooked
621
01:09:47,216 --> 01:09:49,412
the fact that cows,
in spite of their tails,
622
01:09:49,452 --> 01:09:52,251
don't have the same organic
structure as crocodiles
623
01:09:52,288 --> 01:09:54,655
and they need to eat grass
to survive.
624
01:09:54,690 --> 01:09:56,522
Last year there were 300 cows,
625
01:09:56,559 --> 01:10:00,223
but now, over half of them
have starved to death.
626
01:10:00,262 --> 01:10:04,028
The others survive by eating the
algae gathered by the Elmolos,
627
01:10:04,066 --> 01:10:07,525
thanks to their tiresome
immersions into the lake.
628
01:10:27,390 --> 01:10:29,722
But when the wind
doesn't allow the cows
629
01:10:29,759 --> 01:10:31,727
to pasture in the lake,
the women must pick up,
630
01:10:31,761 --> 01:10:34,492
leaf after leaf,
their meager forage
631
01:10:34,530 --> 01:10:36,521
throughout this
desolate stony ground.
632
01:10:36,565 --> 01:10:40,729
A hard job, unknown before
the arrival of the cows.
633
01:10:40,770 --> 01:10:44,604
Poor Elmolos! They still
don't know that 500 sheep
634
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:46,938
are coming from Australia!
635
01:11:06,429 --> 01:11:09,364
Meanwhile, the indigenous
of Sukarno made a similar
636
01:11:09,398 --> 01:11:11,833
kind of mess in New Guinea.
637
01:11:11,867 --> 01:11:14,700
In conformity with the UN
deliberation to encourage
638
01:11:14,737 --> 01:11:17,138
the sense of politics
among their tribe,
639
01:11:17,173 --> 01:11:19,335
especially in the wake
of the elections,
640
01:11:19,375 --> 01:11:22,572
they started to deliver
a government supportive
641
01:11:22,611 --> 01:11:24,306
newspaper in the villages.
642
01:11:24,346 --> 01:11:25,871
This is similar
to the cows' story
643
01:11:25,915 --> 01:11:27,974
because these indigenous
are illiterate.
644
01:11:28,017 --> 01:11:30,748
Nonetheless, even though
sending newspapers
645
01:11:30,786 --> 01:11:34,154
to the illiterate seems
a little too optimistic
646
01:11:34,190 --> 01:11:36,625
during the elections,
647
01:11:36,659 --> 01:11:39,185
we can't deny that,
in New Guinea as well,
648
01:11:39,228 --> 01:11:41,663
political chatters end up,
one way or the other,
649
01:11:41,697 --> 01:11:44,997
meeting the real goal
they are written for:
650
01:11:45,034 --> 01:11:48,197
to blow smoke in the eyes
of the constituency.
651
01:11:57,046 --> 01:11:59,310
Elections or not,
every Sunday afternoon
652
01:11:59,348 --> 01:12:02,010
the famous Hyde Park
in London fills up with
653
01:12:02,051 --> 01:12:06,545
aspiring advocates who promise
a lot to the people
654
01:12:06,589 --> 01:12:08,182
in a particularly
embellished language.
655
01:12:09,258 --> 01:12:11,090
Each man must have a rose,
656
01:12:11,127 --> 01:12:15,325
each woman a jasmine.
Each boy a tulip.
657
01:12:15,364 --> 01:12:17,526
Tum the world into a garden.
658
01:12:17,566 --> 01:12:23,005
Total your neighbors houses and
plant flowers on their land.
659
01:12:23,038 --> 01:12:26,668
Flowers of every color:
white, red, black, green,
660
01:12:26,709 --> 01:12:28,734
large and small.
661
01:12:31,180 --> 01:12:33,615
But Hyde Park
heard worse than that,
662
01:12:33,649 --> 01:12:36,016
during the centuries
of traditional tolerance
663
01:12:36,051 --> 01:12:39,180
for the English
wandering politics.
664
01:12:39,221 --> 01:12:41,485
I speak to all of you
white men who are listening.
665
01:12:41,524 --> 01:12:44,152
The era of the blacks
oppressing the whites
666
01:12:44,193 --> 01:12:46,423
in slavery is over.
667
01:12:46,462 --> 01:12:51,400
You white men must have
the same rights we have!
668
01:12:51,433 --> 01:12:53,902
Do not think you are
inferior to the blacks
669
01:12:53,936 --> 01:12:56,667
for the only reason that
you're white, is that clear?
670
01:12:56,705 --> 01:12:57,695
Yes!
671
01:12:57,740 --> 01:12:59,834
So, white man,
why don't you rebel?
672
01:12:59,875 --> 01:13:01,240
Because I'm a poor red!
673
01:13:01,277 --> 01:13:03,803
And whose fault is it?
674
01:13:03,846 --> 01:13:05,712
The government's, your honor.
675
01:13:11,921 --> 01:13:14,083
When the English seem to
discover inside of them
676
01:13:14,123 --> 01:13:16,751
the germ of
the political vocation,
677
01:13:16,792 --> 01:13:18,692
they come here,
in search of an audience.
678
01:13:18,727 --> 01:13:21,788
Even if the audience
consists of one individual
679
01:13:21,830 --> 01:13:23,161
waiting for the bus,
they call him "people"
680
01:13:23,199 --> 01:13:25,998
and yell their political
recipe at him.
681
01:13:26,035 --> 01:13:28,003
Usually the people
shrug and move on,
682
01:13:28,037 --> 01:13:32,065
yet sometimes, here too,
someone is taken seriously,
683
01:13:32,107 --> 01:13:34,007
and earns a seat
at the Parliament.
684
01:13:34,043 --> 01:13:37,206
This man speaks
so highly about "Perfumes."
685
01:13:40,416 --> 01:13:44,182
Don't you smell
the stench of vice?
686
01:13:44,220 --> 01:13:47,246
Don't you
smell the stench of sin?
687
01:13:47,289 --> 01:13:52,090
Wash your dirty souls and free
them with a purifying bath.
688
01:13:52,127 --> 01:13:55,586
Don't remain nailed to
the earth, raise your heads.
689
01:13:55,631 --> 01:13:57,895
Raise your heads,
do you hear me, people?
690
01:13:57,933 --> 01:14:02,200
Raise your heads!
Raise your heads!
691
01:14:02,238 --> 01:14:05,208
Men, tum away
your eyes from us women.
692
01:14:05,241 --> 01:14:08,677
Our body, full of lust,
is your tomb.
693
01:14:08,711 --> 01:14:11,078
I've been working for
six months to prepare
694
01:14:11,113 --> 01:14:13,309
this speech
I wrote for the masses.
695
01:14:13,349 --> 01:14:15,977
What are the masses?
Who put them so down below?
696
01:14:16,018 --> 01:14:18,510
Who messed with
the masses so massively?
697
01:14:18,554 --> 01:14:21,216
They massively obey
the bosses of masses.
698
01:14:21,257 --> 01:14:24,386
The masses are a mess.
Some go to the Mass,
699
01:14:24,426 --> 01:14:26,758
some others just miss it.
700
01:14:26,795 --> 01:14:29,992
After the space,
we must conquer the time.
701
01:14:30,032 --> 01:14:33,127
My government will destroy
all the watches.
702
01:14:33,168 --> 01:14:36,729
Why only the watches?
Let's kill the time, instead.
703
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:39,173
But destroying watches
is not enough.
704
01:14:39,208 --> 01:14:41,370
Watchmakers
might make more clocks!
705
01:14:41,410 --> 01:14:43,003
Kill the time!
706
01:14:43,045 --> 01:14:44,945
You must avoid temptation.
707
01:14:44,980 --> 01:14:47,881
I will destroy the watchmakers!
708
01:14:47,916 --> 01:14:50,078
Plant lots of flowers!
709
01:14:50,119 --> 01:14:51,348
...to kill the time!
710
01:14:51,387 --> 01:14:53,219
Give them water!
711
01:14:53,255 --> 01:14:55,724
-Do you smell the stench?
-Water the cyclamens!
712
01:14:55,758 --> 01:14:58,227
Horrible stench of sin!
713
01:14:58,260 --> 01:15:00,126
Plant violets!
714
01:15:00,162 --> 01:15:01,561
The stench!
715
01:15:01,597 --> 01:15:02,792
Lots of mimosas!
716
01:15:02,831 --> 01:15:04,299
-They smell good!
-Do you smell the stench?
717
01:15:04,333 --> 01:15:06,097
-They smell good!
-No!
718
01:15:39,201 --> 01:15:42,262
Undoubtedly, politics
can often highly elevate
719
01:15:42,304 --> 01:15:43,271
their representatives.
720
01:15:43,305 --> 01:15:45,603
Take Thomas Jefferson,
for instance,
721
01:15:45,641 --> 01:15:48,406
who ended his career
at an altitude of fifty feet.
722
01:15:48,444 --> 01:15:50,640
Every year, in early summer,
723
01:15:50,679 --> 01:15:52,443
America reenacts, with
this historical performance
724
01:15:52,481 --> 01:15:56,349
at Tombstone, the most
glorious pages of her history.
725
01:15:56,385 --> 01:15:58,649
The most shining pioneers
of modern democracy,
726
01:15:58,687 --> 01:16:01,952
like Jesse the Bandit,
Joe the Ripper, Bloody Jim,
727
01:16:01,990 --> 01:16:04,960
or the killers of
the O.K. Corral, et cetera,
728
01:16:04,993 --> 01:16:07,428
come back to life,
or rather, to death,
729
01:16:07,463 --> 01:16:10,489
on the very stage
of their epic deeds.
730
01:17:23,038 --> 01:17:25,564
The men's pride
and the kids instinct
731
01:17:25,607 --> 01:17:30,044
for imitation are the gems
of this magic program,
732
01:17:30,078 --> 01:17:32,547
even though this year,
733
01:17:32,581 --> 01:17:35,676
the show is missing
some of the most famous
734
01:17:35,717 --> 01:17:36,843
lynching of black men.
735
01:17:38,654 --> 01:17:41,589
The grand finale is always
the happiest moment.
736
01:17:41,623 --> 01:17:45,355
Tombstone, America, is where
peace triumphs over violence.
737
01:17:45,394 --> 01:17:47,590
No more shooting in Tombstone.
738
01:17:47,629 --> 01:17:50,929
Tombstone, in English,
means "grave".
739
01:17:58,607 --> 01:18:01,838
Anyway, everything
is preset in the best way.
740
01:18:01,877 --> 01:18:03,345
All you have to do is chose,
741
01:18:03,378 --> 01:18:05,369
according to
your taste or your means.
742
01:18:05,414 --> 01:18:07,815
From $100 to $20,000.
743
01:18:07,850 --> 01:18:10,547
This Los Angeles store
makes credit deals too.
744
01:18:10,586 --> 01:18:13,021
Their slogan:
"Die now, pay tomorrow"
745
01:18:13,055 --> 01:18:14,682
has been very successful.
746
01:18:14,723 --> 01:18:16,987
When you reach
the age to have a stroke,
747
01:18:17,025 --> 01:18:20,154
you go to the store with
your future widow and choose.
748
01:18:20,195 --> 01:18:22,596
She's always the one
who chooses.
749
01:18:22,631 --> 01:18:25,794
Usually, the one who also
chooses is a clerk,
750
01:18:25,834 --> 01:18:27,802
who is about the husband's size.
751
01:18:45,020 --> 01:18:47,079
After her 4th or 5th widowhood,
752
01:18:47,122 --> 01:18:49,853
she's now an expert
and teaches in a college.
753
01:18:49,892 --> 01:18:53,988
Her students are future
gravediggers, embalmers,
754
01:18:54,029 --> 01:18:56,259
restorers of
the state of California.
755
01:18:56,298 --> 01:18:59,928
These fake human heads,
worn out by the stress
756
01:18:59,968 --> 01:19:02,528
of modern life, are made
of synthetic materials
757
01:19:02,571 --> 01:19:04,198
and all of them are men's heads.
758
01:19:04,239 --> 01:19:06,207
In America,
a woman is immortal
759
01:19:06,241 --> 01:19:07,834
and her departure
is not contemplated.
760
01:19:34,169 --> 01:19:37,104
At the age of only 34,
Mrs. Agatha Connie Russel
761
01:19:37,139 --> 01:19:40,006
passed away in
her Pasadena house.
762
01:19:40,042 --> 01:19:42,204
It's something
no one was prepared for
763
01:19:42,244 --> 01:19:44,542
and it caught
everybody by surprise.
764
01:19:44,580 --> 01:19:47,606
Nonetheless, thanks
to the embalmer's job,
765
01:19:47,649 --> 01:19:51,051
Mrs. Russel is still there,
sitting stiffly on her couch,
766
01:19:51,086 --> 01:19:55,284
making sure the guests have fun
with the appropriate sadness.
767
01:20:06,535 --> 01:20:10,403
Maybe today Mrs. Agatha
looks a little more tolerant
768
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:13,238
than usual with her husband
who, after one too many,
769
01:20:13,275 --> 01:20:18,145
lets himself go to a sort of
behavior that Mrs. Agatha
770
01:20:18,180 --> 01:20:19,944
would have never granted him.
771
01:20:19,982 --> 01:20:22,849
Meanwhile, during
the funeral cocktail
772
01:20:22,884 --> 01:20:25,854
offered to the family's
friends who gathered
773
01:20:25,887 --> 01:20:27,719
around the dear embalmed body,
774
01:20:27,756 --> 01:20:31,249
the guests drink the prescribed
amount of whisky and tears:
775
01:20:31,293 --> 01:20:33,728
one tear for each glass.
776
01:20:54,616 --> 01:20:57,517
OK, we are on the other face
of the earth,
777
01:20:57,552 --> 01:20:59,577
but do we have a reason
to be cheerful?
778
01:20:59,621 --> 01:21:03,524
Let's face it, we have also
struggled for a whole year.
779
01:21:03,558 --> 01:21:06,789
Why should a silly
pretext like the carnival
780
01:21:06,828 --> 01:21:09,820
be sufficient to suddenly
make us so happy?
781
01:21:50,672 --> 01:21:55,667
The thing is, for months,
we have done nothing but
782
01:21:55,711 --> 01:21:57,679
being harassed and now
it's time for us to get even.
783
01:21:57,713 --> 01:21:59,374
Tomorrow,
the newspapers will say,
784
01:21:59,414 --> 01:22:01,678
with one of their cliché
expressions
785
01:22:01,717 --> 01:22:05,210
that the crowd was having
a fit of collective madness.
786
01:22:05,253 --> 01:22:08,382
Please! This is not
collective madness!
787
01:22:08,423 --> 01:22:12,826
This is a security valve
that starts whistling
788
01:22:12,861 --> 01:22:14,920
just when the boiler
is about to explode.
789
01:22:14,963 --> 01:22:18,058
The newspapers will also
report "some unpleasant
790
01:22:18,100 --> 01:22:21,559
incident caused
by the usual hoodlums."
791
01:22:21,603 --> 01:22:24,868
Well, yes.
We are those hoodlums.
792
01:22:24,906 --> 01:22:26,374
But do you know
how many we are?
793
01:22:26,408 --> 01:22:28,433
Tens, hundreds of millions.
794
01:22:28,477 --> 01:22:32,778
Damn it!
Why don't we have a flag?
795
01:23:41,683 --> 01:23:47,281
Luckily so, in our South
there still are nice young men
796
01:23:47,322 --> 01:23:48,881
who can express
their exuberance
797
01:23:48,924 --> 01:23:50,221
in accordance
with order and legality.
798
01:23:50,258 --> 01:23:54,286
In spite of any gossip, these
are the roosters of our South.
799
01:23:54,329 --> 01:23:57,026
At midnight they will
wisely go to bed
800
01:23:57,065 --> 01:23:58,157
with their cockiness.
801
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:01,534
The girls already went
to bed with the chickens
802
01:24:21,523 --> 01:24:23,423
which gives this landscape
803
01:24:23,458 --> 01:24:27,053
an unusual atmosphere
of peace and quiet.
804
01:24:27,095 --> 01:24:29,462
It's a springtime
Sunday morning.
805
01:24:29,497 --> 01:24:32,728
The quiet people of Vaturi,
a Sardinian village
806
01:24:32,767 --> 01:24:34,064
that looks like
a nowhere land,
807
01:24:34,102 --> 01:24:36,730
are heading to the main square
to attend
808
01:24:36,771 --> 01:24:38,899
the traditional
recital of the "hard heads".
809
01:24:38,940 --> 01:24:41,238
They think that the people
from Vaturi have
810
01:24:41,276 --> 01:24:42,801
the hardest heads
of the entire island.
811
01:24:42,844 --> 01:24:45,074
The village is proud
of this acknowledgment,
812
01:24:45,113 --> 01:24:47,309
which implies
some sort of supremacy.
813
01:24:47,349 --> 01:24:50,910
So every year they intend
to keep reaffirming
814
01:24:50,952 --> 01:24:52,545
with some kind
of little Olympiad,
815
01:24:52,587 --> 01:24:54,419
which can even offer
some thrills.
816
01:24:55,423 --> 01:24:58,358
To avoid more
unpleasant fractures,
817
01:24:58,393 --> 01:25:02,728
this year, the participants
are required to have
818
01:25:02,764 --> 01:25:05,028
their heads examined at
the hospital before using them.
819
01:25:05,066 --> 01:25:07,694
Silence, now. And let's start.
820
01:26:33,088 --> 01:26:34,681
EVERYBODY ON THE PIAZZA
821
01:27:15,163 --> 01:27:16,858
You see? They made it.
822
01:27:16,898 --> 01:27:19,629
To hit your head against a wall
with the supreme intent
823
01:27:19,667 --> 01:27:23,535
of breaking your head and the
wall is a manly act in which
824
01:27:23,571 --> 01:27:25,801
we believe with all our support.
825
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:27,740
Heroic people of our depressed
826
01:27:27,776 --> 01:27:30,404
and underdeveloped South,
who run to your dining table
827
01:27:30,445 --> 01:27:33,210
at the rhythm of
your southern drums,
828
01:27:33,248 --> 01:27:35,182
anonymous crowd
that finally awoke and
829
01:27:35,216 --> 01:27:36,775
without wearing
the helmet of Scipio,
830
01:27:36,818 --> 01:27:39,844
have broken your head,
you are all of us!
831
01:27:46,061 --> 01:27:49,588
Yes, I admit it,
I am not very intelligent,
832
01:27:49,631 --> 01:27:53,397
but I'm able to do many,
many things and I have
833
01:27:53,435 --> 01:27:58,532
lots of things in my mind.
834
01:27:58,573 --> 01:28:01,634
Things !--! can do.
I think I can make it
835
01:28:01,676 --> 01:28:04,236
'cause I feel I'm strong,
I have strong--muscles.
836
01:28:04,279 --> 01:28:07,715
So I admit it. I'm not real
intelligent but the fact is--
837
01:28:07,749 --> 01:28:12,516
when I was a kid, couldn't--
838
01:28:12,554 --> 01:28:13,521
couldn't go,
'cause I had little--
839
01:28:13,555 --> 01:28:17,822
I had something else--
840
01:28:17,859 --> 01:28:19,953
We cannot expect much
more from a southern
841
01:28:19,994 --> 01:28:23,726
aspiring actor after
the tough trial of the shutters.
842
01:28:23,765 --> 01:28:26,234
But this crowd that,
in a small southern town,
843
01:28:26,267 --> 01:28:30,636
wants at all cost
a movie audition,
844
01:28:30,672 --> 01:28:34,040
without giving us the joy
of exceptional discoveries,
845
01:28:34,075 --> 01:28:36,703
has nonetheless confirmed
that in these areas people
846
01:28:36,744 --> 01:28:41,580
have an unusual tendency
to hit one's head against
847
01:28:41,616 --> 01:28:45,177
something hard,
be it shutters or cameras.
848
01:28:45,220 --> 01:28:46,745
Lonely Heart. Take one!
849
01:28:46,788 --> 01:28:52,625
What life is this?
Always sad, always lonely.
850
01:28:52,660 --> 01:28:57,222
Without any comfort,
with no one to help me,
851
01:28:57,265 --> 01:28:59,529
to tell me a nice word.
852
01:28:59,567 --> 01:29:04,528
!--! can't,
I can't go on like this.
853
01:29:04,572 --> 01:29:07,007
Many times I tried
to find somebody,
854
01:29:07,041 --> 01:29:12,036
a person to get along with,
I mean a friend,
855
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:13,605
a friend for my heart.
856
01:29:13,648 --> 01:29:17,346
So, what's left for me to do?
857
01:29:17,385 --> 01:29:19,217
Mind your own business!
858
01:29:19,254 --> 01:29:21,655
-No. Try to be angry.
-Mind your own business!
859
01:29:21,689 --> 01:29:23,054
Sarcastic.
860
01:29:23,091 --> 01:29:24,490
Mind your own business!
861
01:29:24,526 --> 01:29:27,791
-I'm smart, you know?
-Mean it!
862
01:29:27,829 --> 01:29:30,025
-I'm smart, you know?
-I said: mean it!
863
01:29:30,064 --> 01:29:31,054
I'm smart, you know?
864
01:29:31,099 --> 01:29:33,090
-Mean it!
-! am smart, you know?
865
01:29:33,134 --> 01:29:35,228
-Ok, cool, now.
-! am smart, you know?
866
01:29:35,270 --> 01:29:36,465
22. Take one!
867
01:29:36,504 --> 01:29:39,235
Carlo, Vincenzo
and Franco sent me--
868
01:29:39,274 --> 01:29:40,605
they screwed me up!
869
01:29:40,642 --> 01:29:45,136
Carlo stole my cattle,
my sheep, my horses, my cows.
870
01:29:45,180 --> 01:29:48,309
But Franco stole my love
that I love so much--
871
01:29:48,349 --> 01:29:50,078
The Vampire. Take 11!
872
01:29:50,118 --> 01:29:54,851
I was finally able to kill
my uncle Giovanni, but--
873
01:29:54,889 --> 01:29:58,587
but what shall I do
with his body?
874
01:29:58,626 --> 01:30:00,560
To keep it at home
is not possible.
875
01:30:00,595 --> 01:30:03,929
Sooner or later
they'll smell the stench.
876
01:30:03,965 --> 01:30:05,023
Seventeen!
877
01:30:05,066 --> 01:30:06,795
And what did you
prepare for us?
878
01:30:06,834 --> 01:30:09,565
The scene at the hospital
with a dramatic ending.
879
01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:16,102
Where am I?
I'm in a hospital room.
880
01:30:16,144 --> 01:30:19,739
What happened?
Oh, I see my friends!
881
01:30:19,781 --> 01:30:24,218
Franco, Arturo, Giovanni!
Mario! What happened?
882
01:30:24,252 --> 01:30:28,883
Oh, now I remember!
Oh, yesterday, the bus!»
883
01:30:28,923 --> 01:30:31,358
Yes, I'm coming to help you.
884
01:30:31,392 --> 01:30:34,657
Yes! Oh, my God,
my legs are failing--
885
01:30:34,696 --> 01:30:36,061
Clapping! Take two!
886
01:30:36,097 --> 01:30:37,690
And why do you want
to be an actor?
887
01:30:37,732 --> 01:30:43,466
Because I like to travel,
I like women, I like money.
888
01:30:43,504 --> 01:30:47,338
I like to travel
across all Provinces,
889
01:30:47,375 --> 01:30:50,003
especially Castevetrano,
in the Agrigento Province,
890
01:30:50,044 --> 01:30:52,809
the Trapani province
because I'm from
891
01:30:52,847 --> 01:30:54,611
Montallegro,
in the Agrigento Province,
892
01:30:54,649 --> 01:30:57,619
I'm Sicilian and I--
I want to travel because...
893
01:30:57,652 --> 01:31:01,145
I like women, I want to find
blond women, beautiful women,
894
01:31:01,189 --> 01:31:02,850
'cause I'm tired
of being in Sicily.
895
01:31:02,890 --> 01:31:06,417
They're all rednecks,
derelicts, they're all--
896
01:31:06,461 --> 01:31:11,023
Oh holy knife, get rusty
in my heart and make me die.
897
01:31:11,065 --> 01:31:12,863
God, who joined our hands,
898
01:31:12,900 --> 01:31:14,390
before they belonged
to another,
899
01:31:14,435 --> 01:31:15,834
with this very hand
will hit my heart!
900
01:31:15,870 --> 01:31:17,838
-Bravo!
- Thirteen!
901
01:31:17,872 --> 01:31:19,340
What is your piece
de resistance?
902
01:31:19,374 --> 01:31:22,241
-Love at the station.
-Go on, then.
903
01:31:22,277 --> 01:31:27,443
Bruna, please, don't leave.
I won't do that thing again.
904
01:31:32,153 --> 01:31:35,612
Conductor,
please stop the train!
905
01:31:37,392 --> 01:31:39,451
Thank you, conductor.
906
01:31:39,494 --> 01:31:41,963
She was my greatest love.
907
01:32:43,591 --> 01:32:46,185
There are many ways
to act on a stage,
908
01:32:46,227 --> 01:32:48,321
but the way chosen
by Achilles Gropulus,
909
01:32:48,363 --> 01:32:50,889
a Greek artist in search
of fame in Paris,
910
01:32:50,932 --> 01:32:53,230
is the one we definitely
like the least.
911
01:32:53,267 --> 01:32:55,065
Surrounded by
an atmosphere so phony
912
01:32:55,103 --> 01:32:58,869
you can smell it
from a mile away,
913
01:32:58,906 --> 01:33:01,170
the brave Achilles
performs a kind of painting
914
01:33:01,209 --> 01:33:04,179
that he defines as "stomatic",
which, in spite of what we see,
915
01:33:04,212 --> 01:33:06,476
doesn't mean stomach sickening,
916
01:33:06,514 --> 01:33:10,815
but mouth painting,
from Greek "stoma" for mouth.
917
01:33:10,852 --> 01:33:12,445
He also created all the terms
918
01:33:12,487 --> 01:33:14,683
meant to name
all the ingredients of
919
01:33:14,722 --> 01:33:16,588
his stomach-sickening
minestrone.
920
01:33:16,624 --> 01:33:18,683
The horrid hogwash he obtains
921
01:33:18,726 --> 01:33:20,558
by mixing the colors
in his mouth is called
922
01:33:20,595 --> 01:33:22,689
"Divine Vomitus of the Master".
923
01:33:22,730 --> 01:33:25,131
These poor wretches
who keeps jumping
924
01:33:25,166 --> 01:33:27,464
until they spit it on
the canvas are the Stomatitis.
925
01:33:27,502 --> 01:33:31,097
This is the "stomatary"
which, make no mistake,
926
01:33:31,139 --> 01:33:34,837
doesn't mean spittoon,
but "surface hosting
927
01:33:34,876 --> 01:33:37,902
the spits being spit
by the stomatitis."
928
01:34:15,516 --> 01:34:18,349
And the final work,
once accomplished,
929
01:34:18,386 --> 01:34:21,583
is completed by the Master's
stomach-sickening signature.
930
01:34:48,483 --> 01:34:51,509
Here's another one.
He has been ordered
931
01:34:51,552 --> 01:34:55,750
to make ten paintings
to illustrate the German
932
01:34:55,790 --> 01:34:58,054
edition of Divine Comedy
and he's preparing
933
01:34:58,092 --> 01:35:00,151
the sketches
in the right atmosphere.
934
01:35:00,194 --> 01:35:02,424
But this time the thing
is more serious:
935
01:35:02,463 --> 01:35:04,397
this is the German
Horst Sonnering,
936
01:35:04,432 --> 01:35:08,960
the same who won the Gunther
prize for painters in 1953.
937
01:35:23,684 --> 01:35:27,621
Alas? What happened
to the sacred respect for art?
938
01:35:27,655 --> 01:35:32,217
Of the 9 Muses, 3 are slapped
in the face daily.
939
01:35:32,260 --> 01:35:35,230
There's still some respect
for the 9th one: Music.
940
01:35:35,263 --> 01:35:38,164
Today, thank God,
a concert is still a concert!
941
01:35:38,199 --> 01:35:41,100
Nobody, as yet, has ever
slapped music on its face.
942
01:38:30,805 --> 01:38:33,172
Do you hear them?
They want an encore.
943
01:38:33,207 --> 01:38:37,303
We know that too: encores
should never be granted.
944
01:38:37,344 --> 01:38:38,869
But when the audience claps
945
01:38:38,913 --> 01:38:40,881
and asks for an extra dose,
how can one,
946
01:38:40,915 --> 01:38:44,317
in this dog's world,
refuse to give the other cheek?
