Original subtitles

�How can art change people

if they can't change your destiny? Bertolt Brecht.

This is the story of a film that never saw the light of day.

A group of artists are given a voice

who asked great questions about society

and they had a worldwide success.

Everything that Brecht says in the film is taken from his quotes.

Lords who seek to reform us,

overcoming our criminal instinct,

first try to feed us:

�eat first, then morals!

You who do not forget take care of our honor,

without that stop getting fat,

Listen to this: No matter how many times they think about it,

�eat first,

then morality!

August 31, 1928 Early morning on opening day

"Anything goes, isn't it?"

�This form of address the public!

- So raw! - It's a scandal!

"A great man among whores."

I refuse to sing it.

You can recite it.

You are not so looked when you perform in the cabaret.

I'm not going to change nothing of the work.

Well, you interpret it. What audacity!

Please.

Brecht and Weil have written "The "Ballad of Mackie the Razor"

for the street singer.

And you can leave yourself beautiful blue handkerchief.

But you must delete the final chorus.

It looks like Bach,

has nothing to do with "The Threepenny Opera."

You have to pay more.

I'm not an actor You can't do anything to me.

I don't have anything.

30 marks a day, if you don't you are left without a character.

Talk to Brecht, He hired you.

-Brecht. - Ah, Aufricht!

Do I need to change any text?

Do you know what the rumor is?

You want to create chaos to shock the public.

I should cancel the work. But the premiere is tonight!

Please, we have to finish the dress rehearsal.

I forbid you remove the final chorus.

We're an hour late.

We leave the final chorus and we delete a ballad.

And we reduce the scene of Peachum in half.

In that case, I'm leaving, forever.

The horse!

We eliminate the horse.

We have to rehearse the projections.

Everyone out!

An extra will pull the bridle

with Gerron on the horse.

Is it a joke?

The horse stays or I canceled the work.

We have to finish rehearse for the premiere.

Clear the stage!

The test is over.

I won't set foot here again.

- Me neither. - Neither do I.

Please can you sign it on paper?

THE NIGHT OF THE PREMIERE.

THE OPERA OF THE THREE PENTIES

Sharks

they have teeth

that do not treat

to hide.

But Mackie, he has a knife.

A knife

that no one can see.

A beautiful Sunday, of blue sky,

a corpse appears on the dock.

A man turns the corner.

His name is Mackie, the Razor.

This is unacceptable! Where is Lenya's name?

You have forgotten my wife.

She's not going to act.

I beg you.

Be reasonable.

Today I turn 30 years old and I ask you to

you take charge

Don't you understand?

The public...

It will cause a scandal.

I planned it all.

If the public whistles, the actors will respond.

Gentlemen artists, you know what

the banker told me When did you lend me the money?

If I lend you money,

you can waste it, which is how to flush the toilet

You can invest it, not there you will have no problem.

But if you invest it in a theater will disappear,

and you will have many problems.

Well? Lotte Lenya will not act.

Honey, calm down.

Tomorrow, everyone will know me!

Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Let it be clear, we don't do encores!

Soldiers march with their cannons

from Cap to Couch Bihar.

And even if it rains,

There is no one who can handle them. And to any race

white or black,

they go and transform it in minced meat.

Mr. Brecht, is this a new shape of pear?

It is an attempt to get the opera of his imbecility.

The public was enthusiastic, What do you think of this success?

It's a new genre. The public was waiting for him.

The songs They will reach the bars.

This destroys the idea that The public never leaves happy.

Which upsets me a little.

Mrs. Hauptmann, you translated "The Beggar's Opera."

Without you, "The Opera of the three cents" would not exist.

It's true. I'm the only one who speaks English correctly.

But we enjoy working together.

Most critics They had predicted failure.

Remember what I said:

"If you want the opinion of a great man,

you should know that I have great self-esteem."

Why don't you do a film of the work?

�That industry is so stupid

that soon I will close the business!

A FEW MONTHS LATER

It's the way to make money and make a movie.

- But you said... - I know.

I often change my mind.

And I don't remember everything I say.

Good idea!

We sell records "The Threepenny Opera"

with the sheet music of the songs.

�And also with postcards, writing paper

and even painting paper!

We are in fashion!

All Berlin sings our songs.

So why not make a movie?

It would benefit us all.

Life is praised of wise men

who live between books with nothing to eat.

There is no rat there Find something to gnaw on.

�Stop selling me stories!

I'm not going to stop no one lives this life.

I don't want her.

I don't know anyone from here to Babylon

that could bear a life like that.

What is the use of freedom,

on its own.

Money is needed

to live happily.

Look, Carola Neher.

I buried your funeral prayer before I had to

abandon the premiere.

"Here we bury the best actress.

We forget that it takes very little to move the human soul.

"Destiny is cruel."

Wow!

Actresses sometimes They stumble off stage.

Our element It's the stage.

Fate is cruel.

�A work that takes months whole people filling theaters,

that has converted you in stars!

I'm here again.

What a coincidence. Do you want to act in the movie?

I do what I enjoy, like Shakespeare.

I want a movie to my liking, so I'm writing it.

But you stated that this industry

it was just one brutalized industry.

Is this a good idea?

I have fixed the project, which will be on a large scale,

almost unrealizable.

Read this.

"Mr. Brecht will take care of of the script and dialogues,

musical compositions, new and existing,

They will be run by Kurt Weill."

You already know,

cinema needs art.

The film rests on this idea:

A gangster is a normal man.

Beggars and vagabonds They have savings books.

The same for music.

The gangster and the man on the street They feel the same emotions.

The gallows is supplied by the company X and Co.

Peachum believes that the Bible protects it from theft.

The man has a head

but it doesn't help you much.

Just to feed to lice.

MACKIE, THE RAZOR. The film that Brecht wanted to make

Subtitles: Eva74

We describe what happens behind appearances.

We cannot be satisfied with reproducing reality.

We understand, Mr. Brecht.

"A photo of the factories Krupp or AEG

doesn't say anything about these institutions.

You have to use artifices,

and put some art into it."

Exact. Art allows people enjoy life.

You know, who doesn't like what he does,

can't wait others are interested in it.

The artists are very strong.

If you don't follow the plot, just look.

If you want a show Simple, go see another one.

The price of entry It is never returned.

Like the play, the film will be set in London,

but with artificial decorations, with a cardboard moon

Only the gallows he carries is real.

London, capital of the world.

Of finances, yes!

The film will be set in the London of detective novels.

First, find a plan,

�trusting inspiration!

�And then you make a second plan!

You will see that it will be of no use.

Because, in this life,

you have to be clever

because if you are careless you can fall into the hole."

We are in the underworld of Soho and Whitechapel,

the refuge of the poor, an inconspicuous layer

of the population of London.

The film begins with...

"On what does man live?"

�What does man live on?

To torment,

spoil, attack and devour his neighbor.

It's the only way has to stay alive.

That is its great faculty.

And so forget

that is a human being.

Gentlemen,

don't get your hopes up:

�the man alone Live to do evil!

�The man

just live

to do evil!

Lords who seek to teach us

when a woman can you lift your skirts

and squint your eyes when you look.

First try to feed us:

�eat first, then morals!

You what decency they demand of us today,

although tomorrow they come with us to enjoy,

listen to this:

No matter how many times they think about it,

�eat first, then morals!

�It has to be possible

that even the poorest

have your piece of bread!

Cut.

Stop everything!

The opera does not begin like this.

He bought the rights to the opera.

It would be foolish to film the work literally.

But the public wants "The Ballad of Mackie Messer".

It's what you're waiting for.

I don't want to please the public.

I want to change it.

Think about...

One afternoon when he was leaving an Oak Street brothel,

Drury Lane Brothel.

Mr. Macheath He sees a young woman.

He sees her back and knows, following her lovely ass,

that he will marry her.

Wait a moment! Cinema no longer uses subtitles.

- I'm going to reintroduce them. - That's nonsense.

In cinema, it is the film that tells the story.

People have to feel identified.

So we can only screen "Oedipus"

in a full room of little Oedipus

You want to take to public through the nose,

preventing me from thinking

and don't question anything.

But you have to be careful,

look at sports stadiums They are full of experts.

If you don't listen to my artistic director,

at least give up sexual allusions.

To avoid censorship.

"Following his ass",

We can't put that.

Why? Art copies reality.

Come on, let's start from the beginning.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

One afternoon when he was leaving an Oak Street brothel,

Drury Lane Brothel.

Mr. Macheath sees a young girl. He sees her from behind,

and you know, following your lovely butt,

that he will marry her.

A beautiful Sunday,

of blue sky,

a corpse appears on the dock.

A man turns the corner,

His name is Mackie, the Razor.

Schul Meier

he is dead.

And he is not the only one among the rich.

Your money

Mackie has it in his pocket,

but no one will be able to prove it.

In the face of the growing insensitivity of men.

Businessman Jonathan Peachum has opened a business

that provides the poorest of an appearance

that can move the more hardened hearts.

�Wake up, degenerate Christian!

Repent your life of sin.

It shows that You are a scoundrel.

And God will forgive you.

Betray your brother, you bastard.

Sell your wife to the highest bidder,

it doesn't matter, damn it.

God will forgive you in the Last Judgment.

Peachum and Company?

peachum

�Manages the company "The beggar's friend"?

They have recommended it to me.

Your name?

You see, there was an incident on Highland Street.

I was in the street corner...

Highland Street?

You are the one Honey caught yesterday?

bothering the passers-by from District 10.

We are content with a beating

because we assumed not You knew how this works.

If you set foot there again,

We will move on.

Please, Mr. Peachum.

Without my jacket, I look like a dried cod.

my friend,

If my boys get really angry, You will end up flat as a sheet.

Listen,

The licenses are reserved for professionals.

London is divided in 14 districts.

whoever wants practice begging

must have a license from "Peachum and Company".

- Your name? -Charles Filch.

Mrs. Peachum!

Can I invite these ladies to dance to "Octopus"?

What is that?

The five types of misery

that move the human soul

The vision of these guys

destabilizes individuals and encourages them to part with their money.

Suit A, victim of road traffic.

The elegant paralytic, always cheerful and happy,

the team is a stump in the arm.

Suit B, war invalid.

With a horrible tremor

that bothers people

and what is used to cause disgust

which is attenuated by the military decorations.

Suit C, victim of industrial development.

The needy blind man

that is, the high school of begging.

Be careful!

You feel sorry for him!

You will never learn the trade.

You will not go beyond being a simple passerby.

Suit D,

Take off your clothes and put this on Take care of it.

- What about my things? - Now they belong to the company.

Suit E,

the young man who has known better days.

Why can't I be that one?

Because no one will believe your own misery.

If it hurts you stomach and you say it,

It will only cause discomfort.

Only the artists they move hearts.

If they do it correctly,

Their audience will applaud them.

While Peachum exploits the poor,

Polly's fate It is sealed.

After dancing half hour with Macheath,

leave the place dancing and He follows him, without knowing him.

She says:

I'm just giving a walk with you.

I'm going to postpone the robbery to organize the wedding.

Eleven o'clock,

House of the Duke of Somersetshire. He is traveling.

A blue canopy bed.

They walk between the couples who kiss in the alley.

About twenty robberies

will be necessary for prepare the wedding bed,

with table and toothbrush,

enough to gather what is necessary

to form the trousseau of the young girl.

Stop!

Wait a moment!

Delirious. You know what cost this scene?

It's going to ruin me.

As I tell it, it doesn't cost anything.

He will become an adept of epic theater Let's continue.

Nobody move!

in the street, while the bullets fly

and three cars block the sidewalk,

two lovebirds

they move in the night, oblivious to everything else.

Some men break a display case.

lovers give a boat ride.

She is the one who rows!

It must be taken seriously to the spectators.

They pay their entry to see great feelings.

Listen to what Mackie is going to say.

And now let's give rein let go of the feelings.

This is what distinguishes the beast of burden man.

Do you see the moon shining in Soho?

Yes, my love.

�You feel my heart beat. dear?

I'm sorry, dear.

Wherever you go,

I will follow you.

Wherever you are

I will be there.

All you need to do is go to the civil registry

and the flowers on the altar.

You don't know from where your wedding dress is coming

and you will not wear myrtle in your hair.

�The plate where you have eaten your bread,

don't look at it, throw it away!

Love lasts

or it doesn't last,

you never know.

The moon is rising over the canal.

One or two moons They will be enough.

You are exaggerating.

This is cynicism.

The public will not accept it. It's not to your taste.

That "public taste" is the search of a profitability guarantee.

It is that of the sponsors.

I know the public expectations.

I am the author of the piece that you want to adapt.

I hired the artists of greater renown.

They know how to transmit emotions.

I have one of the best directors.

He sees "The Threepenny Opera" like a visual story.

That's ridiculous.

And the two moons in Soho?

You want a realistic image,

gather sensations, produce feelings

to hypnotize the public, to artificially intoxicate him.

On an artistic level, you have the brain of an oyster.

Let's try it again. Look at this photo.

Macheath poses with his people

like an amateur choir.

Let's see what was really happening,

what the photo doesn't say.

Macheath and Polly get married

four hours later of their meeting

in the halls of Duke of Somersetshire.

This gentleman is not found in London,

it is enough with tie two servants

to occupy the place.

The patio becomes in a slaughterhouse.

When they get there,

the newlyweds They have the joy of discovering

a big room decorated for the party.

Congratulations.

We had to loot the people of 14 Ginger Street.

We had to kill a policeman.

fans.

We did what we could,

but three people They died in the Westend.

We have spanked an old man

but it hasn't turned out too bad.

The order was to avoid a bloodbath.

That's what bothers me.

They will never be businessmen.

At most, cannibals.

To the businessman Macheath he hates spilling blood

when it is not necessary for business.

Its principle is to limit the bloodshed to a minimum.

Do you like furniture?

But those poor people...

For this furniture! A shame!

I understand your anger.

�This harpsichord with a Renaissance sofa!

Unforgivable! But forget everything.

Do I get married every day?

Shut your mouth.

How many times do you Do I leave carte blanche?

You make my wife unhappy.

Dear Polly...

Dear Polly?

"I'll beat you up, you little bastard!

Have you heard that? Dear Polly!

- Have you slept with her? - Mac!

I swear to you...

Gentlemen, please, take off these rags

and dress appropriately.

It's not just anyone's wedding.

You have to endure the view of these worms

on your wedding day.

Who is that gentleman?

They call him "The Captain."

I don't even You asked his name.

Interesting.

It would have been rude

demand the departure of birth

to such an elegant man who invited us to the "Octopus"

to dance

"The Captain."

Hotel "Octopus".

Good, good.

In our presence, He didn't take off his gloves.

Leather gloves.

And an ivory cane?

And he was wearing ankle boots?

Very bright?

An air of seducer

and a scar...

In the neck.

You know him, of course.

It's Mackie, the Razor.

- Where is my daughter? - Oh my God!

God help me! Mackie, the Razor...

Jesus, help us

Where's Polly?

Polly hasn't come back.

His bed is not made.

Instead of...

Instead of staying in home inside their beds,

they want to have fun

as if life It was a party.

Blame the moon of Soho,

to those novels romances and nonsense

"�I will follow you� until The end of the world, Johnny!"

Love arises and the moon grows.

Instead of...

Instead of acting correctly,

they prefer to have fun

and end up dragged through the mud.

�What good is the moon What shines in Soho?

�What's wrong with those romantic and silly novels?

"�I will follow you� until The end of the world, Johnny!"

When love ends,

they die in loneliness and misery.

I was young, barely sixteen,

you landed in Burma...

The whole world dances to his music.

How do you value the industrialization of your art?

�It is the most innovative work created in Berlin,

We should not criticize their success!

I write for an audience who lives with his time.

I dream of art that touches the essential

and may it last a thousand years.

A not very serious art.

From night to morning, They are rich and famous.

You don't think this success

can you make it fit?

I can't stay still, I'm a bad ass.

I don't eat much, I immediately fill up.

The voluptuousness could catch me,

but you have to dedicate a lot of time to it.

It would be necessary to be able enjoy in fast motion.

The sex of a year in a second.

For a great idea, I would sacrifice to almost all women.

Surabaya Johnny,

�Why are you so cruel?

- He has 3 children with 3 women. - My private life doesn't matter.

Mr. Weill, you are married to actress Lotte Lenya.

She says she married me to experience a great emotion.

And she says she did it.

She means a lot.

It's just more my music is important.

It is said that many people They take their text literally.

"Eat first, then morals."

People like it.

Was that your goal?

What makes the work be so successful?

To trivialities, I'm afraid.

The romantic intrigue, the idyll,

the music.

What is important for you?

Social criticism.

Capitalism turns everything satire becomes opium for the people.

Therefore, the film must denounce

bourgeois ideology.

The trickster's wedding Mackie the Razor

will appear in the movie

as a social event.

We observe that the local authorities

They are invited. The judge of Drury Lane, a General,

two parliamentarians

and three well-known lawyers.

They came with their wives.

But some would find it difficult present a marriage certificate.

Don't swallow it everything as always!

It's not the time.

I would have preferred not to have what to see you gobbling,

but now you have to organize something to entertain guests.

- What for example? - I'll have to tell you everything.

I don't want an opera.

Just something entertaining that is not full

of rudeness or swear words.

The salmon is excellent, Mac.

He eats it very often.

I always said Mac would get married with a woman of good taste.

I bet on Lucy yesterday.

Who is this Lucy, Mac?

Don't worry about that.

What are you looking for?

Salt, perhaps?

What were you saying, Jakob?

Nothing.

What do you have in your hand, Jakob?

A knife.

And on your plate?

A trout, "Captain."

And you use that knife

to eat fish?

You behave like a pig.

Did you hear me, Jakob?

You have a lot to do, Polly,

to civilize these idiots.

Gentlemen, since no one is encouraged,

I myself will interpret a song

I used to imagine, When I was innocent,

that time of innocence that we have all been through,

what answer would you give

to the man who would court me.

If I had money,

if he was kind

if he wore the neck clean from Monday to Friday,

and he knew how to behave with a lady...

To that one I would say:

No.

Without children, I would refuse to lead this life.

I wouldn't do it for you.

What are you all the days drunk.

If our marriage would have brought some pleasure

I wouldn't have to search comfort in alcohol.

I could live without him.

I work day and night for your daughter

and you throw it to the arms of a libertine.

We have to marry her!

You spend as if I was a millionaire.

But one day, a beautiful day,

he introduced himself a man without manners.

He hung his hat on a hanger from my room

and it made me lose my mind.

I didn't have money,

he was not kind,

his neck was not clean not even on sunday

and I didn't know how behave with a lady...

But I didn't say no to him.

One minute! It's time to study the situation.

The scoundrel Macheath represents the bourgeoisie.

But the public sees it as a bubbly hero. Romantic.

He pretends to be a businessman.

It is true that the gangsters They look bourgeois.

Nobody cares about reality in the theater and in the cinema!

Do you think the public pays? to see real life?

He prefers to see what It doesn't look like real life.

Exactly, claim feelings and emotions.

You are right. The rest is nonsense.

Always the same story...

Polly appears, at the beginning, like a virtuous being,

but it is also Peachum's daughter.

The bride shows her sensuality before consummating the marriage.

Everyone wants her,

the promised wins the game, but as a bourgeois.

The trickster fascinates to the bourgeois

who think that a truhan is not bourgeois.

They are based on the wrong idea

that a bourgeois He is not a crook.

- There is no difference. - Yes.

A crook not always He is a coward.

Let's try.

Please.

�They have passed

so many things

that I couldn't

say no!

Very nice!

How "pretty"?

You haven't understood anything, idiot. This is art.

You were superb, Polly.

But these brutes They don't understand anything.

A fiancé! He's going to want to rob us.

Do you think that your daughter, in bed,

Do you know how to stay quiet? It's like you.

You have a concept very nice of your daughter.

Worst.

A body full of lasciviousness.

I didn't inherit it from you.

It has a real wooden leg.

What does he know how to do?

Nothing, beggar.

Is that what you do?

You have a wooden leg, so you beg?

You're not the only one.

There are not many offers.

The competition! It is the basis of our culture.

The engine of evolution.

A wooden leg It's enough to beg.

It is used only in police control case,

but in this case, a real one is not necessary.

The police!

The sheriff himself.

Tiger Brown,

The chief sheriff of London, the backbone of the Old Bailey.

- Hello, Jackie. - Hello, Mac.

�You needed to use the Duke's residence?

It's a crime.

It's so comfortable, Jackie.

What a joy you come to the your old friend Mac's wedding!

I will introduce you to my wife,

née Peachum.

Polly, this is Tiger Brown.

And here are my friends, but you should already know them.

- I came incognito. - Them too, Jack.

Nice to meet my old friend's wife.

My pleasure, dear.

My love.

Gentlemen,

today we count between us with a man,

to whom a king, in a personal decision,

has placed above of his compatriots

and who, however, still my friend

in the middle of all the storms

and dangers...

and everything else.

Jackie! Do you remember when

we were soldiers of the army in India?

I lost a leg serving my country.

All the more reason.

It can happen to everyone,

except the Minister of War.

Soldiers like you They don't attract attention.

I need gentlemen!

You look like a pacifist,

We don't do politics here.

Standing there, you express that

war is a terrible thing,

in which you can lose a leg

You don't have the skills to be a profitable beggar.

Celia!

Show him the dogs to this gentleman.

Our dogs were not chosen to guide the blind,

but to awaken compassion.

They have to have a miserable appearance.

It has to do with the way they feed.

I refuse.

It gives the movie a political tone.

In the theater, the artist can do it.

But, in the cinema, that entails great financial risks.

I don't mind, I have a contract.

I know your contract. And it's my money.

You sold the rights.

The author can refuse to adapt their work.

In summary, you blame us for complaining

that our clothes are dirty

after washing it in the mud.

You believe you have the right to misrepresent what you paid.

-When one commits... - You have to comply.

But we may not like it.

We will make this movie a success, even if it is without you.

Then I will go to court.

How can art change people

Very good.

It is about demonstrating that we have built an economy

on which we all depend and that few people understand.

market transactions values ​​are crazy.

When I had this intuition, a few years ago,

I understood that there was caught a big fish.

You won't get anything from Nero-Film

The rich prosper coast of the poor,

but the cinema doesn't say it.

And no theater will represent your work.

Let's continue.

It's up to us convey these ideas.

Juana is breaking the system.

I see the system.

There are few people upstairs, and many below.

Those above shout to those below:

Come up. We will all be up!

But upon closer inspection,

we can see what is hidden between the superiors and the inferiors.

It seems like a path,

It is nothing more than a simple board.

But if we look at it better we see that it is a seesaw

This system is like

a seesaw whose two sides are not balanced.

A few are enthroned above,

and others must stagnate below,

in great numbers, otherwise it will not be maintained.

It's just a seesaw.

They don't speak the same language. Two weights, two measures.

They don't know anyone

after reaching the top.

This one is very fat.

You have cheated his weight.

A blind man with a fat dog does not arouse compassion.

people react instinctively.

Don't think that I do fast my dogs

out of pure cruelty.

If they are fat, business suffers.

Have you gotten married?

We cover it with best clothes, hats,

gloves and umbrella, and a once dressed from head to toe,

she throws herself into his arms of the first thief who appears.

So...

you have become a scoundrel's whore.

This is ours Reward, Jonathan.

My head is spinning.

Serve me a cordial wine.

Look in what state you put your mother.

We can give you two drinks.

my mother supports well a double dose.

Here it is, feigning concern.

Look.

- Isn't he handsome? - No.

He earns a lot.

Meets all my needs.

He is a noted thief.

After some successful hits,

We will retire to the field.

In fact, it is very simple.

Now that you're married, what do you have to do?

Get a divorce!

But I love him!

Aren't you ashamed?

Your novels have understanding clouded.

Bastard!

When they hang him,

will be surrounded by half a dozen widows,

each with a child in his arms.

Hanged?

Great idea! And we'll gain 40 pounds.

Yes, I know We will hand over to the sheriff.

The Sheriff had fun a lot at my wedding.

- What's his name? - Brown.

But my husband calls him Jackie, they're friends.

�The Sheriff and the Chief of thieves!

The best friends in the world.

I'm going to see the sheriff of London.

You, go to the brothel on Drury Lane.

With his whores.

The world is really an abject place,

and one should not skimp efforts to do good.

�It's too much to ask,

in this life bitch,

can I give myself to a man?

Is it really too much to ask?

It is said that in this land, every man can

get to know happiness In his short life,

that can be enjoyed by everyone the pleasures of the world,

who can eat bread when He is hungry and not stones.

They say it is a right for all.

But, have we seen any once on this earth

for this to happen here?

Everyone would like it Your right will be respected,

but that doesn't really happen.

Jackie, you know my father-in-law he is a despicable guy

that tries to hurt me.

�Scotland Yard has a file on me?

No, they don't have one on you.

- Anything else? - Yes, Jackie.

You have to reduce the number of officials,

it is almost impossible to carry carry out our business.

To "spread" a dozen of whippersnappers with clubs,

we had to fill 17 forms.

grandmother's name, hobbies, languages ​​you speak...

We cannot eliminate all officials,

They are very bad.

So we need three times more.

But I could create a new service,

which is not the same

than eliminating positions.

I could create it

if they assigned me 200 or 300 employees.

Well...

If you see Mackie, the Razor these days here,

Find a police officer and report him.

Do you think we are going to see it?

If you know they are looking for you, I won't come here.

You know very well, Jenny,

that Mackie is not a man who

change your habits for so little.

I beg you to stop a man named Macheath.

He is a gangster and a murderer.

For this same reason, the mayor from London could be arrested.

Scotland Yard does not have charges against this gentleman.

The police cannot intervene.

Can't the police intervene?

Then it would be committing a terrible injustice.

The coronation parade could be affected.

What does it mean?

I would like to remind you a historical fact

that goes back to the year 1400 B.C.

The coronation parade of Queen Semiramis

was sabotaged by a series of incidents

caused by a small part of the town

that sowed chaos.

To historians always it has horrified them

the punishment that Semiramis imposed on the police chief.

She threw him

snakes

on the chest.

Really?

God help you, Brown.

When it is sacrificed

to the poor lamb,

Butchers often They work together to cut it.

And when a dispute arises

among the butchers,

it is the police who acts as a referee.

I wrote this for the movie.

September 15, 1930

"The Reichstag elections they give 18.3% to the NSDAR

with 107 deputies, 9 times more than what they had.

The police and the State

They protect these criminals.

exactly like Tiger Brown and Macheath.

They let them boycott our representations.

Hitler only returns to paint facades.

-He provides the paint. - Like in our movie.

I'm sick of these movie people.

They only require a minimum

of imagination, ingenuity, humor.

Faced with the logic of the plot,

everything they want is that the public follows it.

The recipe for success cinematographic:

doing a little is enough.

You need to rest.

I'll take care of the moving and the apartment.

And I about the manuscripts.

What the hell are you doing?

I write the painting song.

Because of his conflict with Peachum, Mackie has to hide.

Like the queen's parade will pass by Old Oak Street,

this nest of criminals must become a daycare.

The police sing, brush in hand.

When the walls are crumble and rot

we must intervene without a doubt.

And it's so decrepit, so horrible.

It's better that no one sees it.

�Let's give it a coat of paint

to hide the misery!

Just like Peachum turns his men into beggars,

the sordid alley is transformed with a coat of paint and props.

Landfills become in a playground.

The Drury Lane Prostitutes They are "evacuated" from their brothel.

The girls of an orphanage They will greet the Queen when she passes.

Let's go!

Mr. Peachum enters the scene.

The beggars look out between the plants and the painted walls.

Inspection ends with a false note.

Our adversaries

are devoid of any form of morality and dignity.

I advise you to disappear.

Poor Polly.

This will serve as a lesson for you.

I don't approve of your work. I know all your misdeeds.

More than 30 robberies, 23 assaults,

fires, murders...

And those two sisters, minors of age, whom you seduced.

They claimed to be 18 years old.

Can't you change your profession?

�Become banker, for example?

We have been for a while testing the National Bank.

No, not that way.

You could buy it.

Me?

If we buy the bank or my father puts his money...

The banking sector is the safer and more profitable.

If I have to hide, you will run the business.

Kiss your poor Polly

and swear that you will not see no other woman.

Polly,

I don't care about those crybabies.

I only love you.

Goodbye, Mac.

Goodbye, Polly.

"My coffee!"

My coffee.

Weren't you in Highgate?

Today is Thursday.

I don't change my habits for this nonsense.

Mac.

When the bells ring Westminster bells,

your time will come.

Long before govern the city,

Long before govern the city...

I lived miserably with one of you.

And now that I am Mackie the Razor

I will not forget my companions of yesteryear

and especially to Jenny, which was my favorite

of all of you.

In another time,

of which many years have passed,

let's live together

her and me.

Those days have passed,

and they have gone up in smoke.

I protected her,

and she fed me...

In many ways.

When a client came, I crawled out of bed

to have a drink meanwhile.

And after paying, He told the Lord:

"Sir, do not hesitate to come back!"

"We have been living for six months

in this brothel

in which we feel like at home."

This song

and all "The Opera of the Three pennies" will be adapted to film.

A nonsense to greater glory of sex and debauchery.

The world market You will be astonished.

I will condemn this German film

and will judge that the German people He has lost all morality.

Listen to this!

In another time, from which many years passed,

In another time,

of which many years have passed,

but not as dark as

those of us who live today.

We only slept together during the day.

Because at night, His bed was occupied.

In general, It's better at night,

but in the morning It's not bad either.

Sometimes I would get pregnant.

And we had to change posture in bed.

So as not to disturb the baby.

�But, in the end I lost anyway!

And so they passed quickly six months

in that brothel that It was our home.

Stop! They are all detained!

Everyone stay still!

Stop!

Despite his success, his work has been criticized

and not only for the nationalists and the SA.

Some say that They are going to put them on the spot.

What do you think of this?

I will not be intimidated by reactionary critics.

Any innovative work awakens a resistance.

They protest against the film adaptation

because of the songs. Like "The Ballad of the Pimp."

His vulgarity is scandalous.

We will not improve the public's taste

eliminating vulgarity.

We will harm the movies.

The vulgarity of the masses. It has its roots in reality.

My music throws a different light on the text.

The appeal of this ballad

is that the greenery of the text

is compensated with the pleasant tone.

My songs take over an American jazz that is running out.

We can reach an audience wider than the opera.

His music, therefore, seeks to reach the public.

That refers to your formula:

"A theater where "You laugh, it's ridiculous."

And he approaches the cinema,

which Thomas Mann sees as "a "entertainment wrapped in music."

It's petite bourgeois,

Represents the bourgeois author

of artificial books, pedantic and useless.

is talking of a Nobel Prize,

of a prince of literature praised by critics.

They only think about showing off.

The princes write for the critics and vice versa,

exchanging with kindness tasty memories.

They skip the delicacies subtly spicy,

made over low heat with art.

We can masturbate or fuck with a condom.

They masturbate with a condom

Please, Mr. Brecht.

Where is your morale?

In our society, all strata of the population

moral principles are governed,

but instead of fulfilling them They only talk about them.

Like Mr. Peachum.

This is what our movie is about.

THE FIGHT FOR MACHEATH'S HEAD

Gentlemen,

currently working in our eleven branches,

from Drury Lane to Turnbridge,

1432 men,

on those posters, like you,

to attend the coronation of the queen.

Let's go! If you want to beg, Be careful with the posters.

Dear lady.

What pigsty did you come from?

You come for the money for selling Macheath?

Well, you're not going to take anything.

What? "You're not going to pay us fees

that you had agreed to by contract for denouncing Macheath?

Exactly.

You're going to get shit,

instead of yours 30 coins for Judas

And why?

Because that rat Macheath has escaped.

Well...

This is the last straw.

I'm warning you, hit us.

What is happening?

I hope you don't you have given anything.

So, ladies,...

Is Macheath in prison?

Shut up!

"It doesn't reach him or the shoe soles!

That night, I had to say goodbye to a client because he couldn't leave

of crying, thinking that there was sold to this gentleman.

Do you know what happened this morning?

I heard a whistle an hour ago

It was him, on the street.

I wanted to console myself for him damage that had been done to him.

He is the last knight from London, ladies.

And if our colleague Suky Tawdry He is not here with us,

It's because I sent it to your home to comfort her.

Suky Tawdry.

- Filch! - Yes.

Run and tell the police

that Mr. Macheath is relaxing at Suky Tawdry's house.

"But why?" are we arguing?

They will receive the money, of course.

My dear Celia,

you should make them a coffee instead of insulting them.

He's gone!

I know, like in the opera.

- No! Brecht is gone. - What?

He writes to us from the French Riviera:

"I no longer want to be in the uncomfortable position of having to

explain to these knights of Nero-Film

how to write a script about my work."

How dare you!

I will sue him for harm our interests.

Find him and bring a script that covers my expenses.

The police!

I couldn't get to my position.

Here we are, Mr. "Beggar's Friend."

Good morning. Brown. Have you slept well?

Take off his hat.

Confiscate everything that you find.

Peachum, clean the city ​​of beggars

Very good!

But what beggars?

All these cripples...

It will only stop

to a group of young people who they organize a masked ball

in honor of the coronation of the queen.

If the poor they really came out,

there would be thousands.

Imagine them sitting in front of the churches,

They would spoil the party.

All full of boils,

thousands of faces full of pupae...

Our young queen

I would rather see rosebuds.

And not faces with pustules.

It's a threat.

I have to stop Mackie, the Navaja, I have understood it.

But I need to find it to stop it.

Jenny.

Where is Mr. Macheath?

At Suky Tawdry's house.

Hang it before 6 in the morning...

Oh, Mackie!

I can't do anything.

That man is the devil himself,

a butcher among lambs,

a complete scoundrel. A pimp.

Women are his weak point.

He can't resist them.

Whether you want it or not,

lives under sexual tyranny.

They don't care about the Bible and the Civil Code.

�He is too selfish.

If he sees a woman, he's screwed,

why stay away hers is a martyrdom,

the whole day is not enough for him,

at night, again

you have it on you.

�It is original that they pay you with a car for an ad!

My rhymes are the best!

Imagine the arrest

during a picnic

that Macheath offers to the girls of drury lane

in the middle of nature.

under an oak surrounded by his court,

the unhappy man receives Judas kiss

After a chase

among the police and the prostitutes,

Mr. Macheath is arrested.

The idea of persecution is good,

but very expensive.

The industry and the State do not They will finance your film.

Then we will do a old-fashioned chase.

"Brecht was traveling at 70 km/h along a country road

when a truck in front of him

is overtaken by a car.

The trees of the lower slopes

are bordering a five meter embankment".

"To avoid the car,

Brecht stamp your radiator on a tree

and your vehicle stopped dead."

And this article says what

you managed to emerge unscathed of this accident?

A new car!

Nice car, Mr. Brecht!

In this capitalist world,

idealists have the habit of despising money.

I don't swim in gold.

My only income comes from me work, which brings me very little,

but is freed from the harmful influence

of financial institutions.

I came to talk about the script.

I ask you to soften his radical ideas.

His ideas are not radical.

�Capitalism is radical with 6 million unemployed!

And you want to produce a sentimental kitsch.

I haven't invited him.

If the filming is not can start,

We will ask for compensation.

"You know what will happen" If you can't pay?

Well, idiots.

Again in the old hut.

Mac, I couldn't do anything.

Don't look at me like that your silence is terrifying.

Stop pulling!

Say something, Mac.

Talk to your friend Jackie.

Do not deign tell me a word

This unhappy Brown and his bad conscience.

And he intends to lead the police!

I did well not to insult him.

It was enough to look at it to to shed a tear.

It's a Bible trick.

You have to take out benefit of the Bible.

My bedside book.

One of the few verses that many men apply is:

"You will obey your husband."

Adopted by all the fools... and many intelligent women.

For me it's: "Stumble two times in the same stone".

Macheath says it too.

But we have work and Private conflicts exhaust me.

Let's continue.

Okay, let's continue.

"He loves her very much,

"Polly"

"No, he only loves you.

I know.

Very kind

Men are afraid of love women too much.

I realized that he is Engaged to you,

in a way, that I could not suspect.

- You and I love him too much. - Could be."

Enough! We remove this part of the opera.

In the beginning, the Bible says, the word existed.

And this last one seems to me the most important thing.

Hence this title.

FIRST CLOUD OVER YOUR YOUNG HAPPINESS.

Fifty.

Here you are!

Disgusting scruples.

Lucy.

Your heart won't break Seeing your man here?

My man? Miserable monster.

I am aware of your story with Polly Peachum.

Lucy!

Aren't you jealous of Polly?

�You got married with her, bastard!

Married. Very funny.

I go to his house, I give him a kiss,

and the poor girl

is proclaiming everywhere that I married her.

Where is my husband?

Mac?

Mac, he's here.

Don't look away, don't be ashamed.

I am your wife.

Look at us, bastard.

Who is this person?

Tell him I'm your wife.

- Look at me. - Bastard.

You have two wives, you wretch!

Am I not your wife?

I married a virgin.

Shut up for two minutes!

I will explain it to you.

"Dear Hello,

don't take these things too seriously,

I don't carry one life of debauchery.

But I am reluctant to

let my behavior be dictated for low level gossip.

I live and eat in the hotel.

Elisabeth is in a mountain refuge.

Carola Neher is in Nice.

Protect Steffi from the sun

and stop smoking.

I guess you have time to go out there.

"I refuse to remain silent.

- I can't take it anymore. - But the wife...

-The wife? -She has certain privileges.

At least in appearance.

These concerns They will end up driving him crazy.

These worries, that is...

Where did you get it from?

This little minx is your great conquest?

Your "Venus of Soho"?

�Show yourself, Venus of Soho!

Show your legs.

Show me what you're made of,

they say there is no other like it.

Disgusting bitch. Yes, you.

Cajoling my man.

Do you think so?

- It's a joke! - We'll see.

- Let me laugh! - Then laugh!

- Mac, seduced by you? - Yes, seduced by me!

��he interested in a girl like you?

- We will see - See

Macheath and I

we lived like two lovebirds.

He only loves me,

no one will convince me otherwise.

How could he abandon me?

Our story is not going to end,

for this garbage...

Ridiculous.

Ridiculous, Helli.

I know.

I am cowardly, indecisive,

unable to break a relationship.

I can't take it anymore these adventures.

I'll write to you, it's easier.

He is like that.

My wife also has friends.

He says he doesn't take good with women.

Well maybe they are something more than friends!

My wife too has a friend

We know it, we both.

She feels abandoned with all your stories.

Bidi!

Orge says that his place Favorite is the bathroom.

"We're fine here,

up the stars, Down with the shit."

We will clean before put the table back.

From Nero-Films.

Given your refusal to change the work,

They fire you as a screenwriter.

- I'll go to trial. - Me too.

For the music.

We must protect to authors and their art

from the harmful world of cinema.

The company invested 800,000 marks.

On the other hand, you have a contract

and rights. Guess who will win...

That's the paradox that we are going to demonstrate.

We'll bet everything on that.

What if we lose?

will show that They reject their own ideology.

This judgment must talk about reality,

of justice, the press, the industry that finances art.

We rarely have the opportunity to confront them.

The idea is great.

A writer puts on stage the society of his time.

Nobody has done it before.

Let's say it's a sociological experience.

October 17, 1930 Beginning of the trial.

Let the interested parties have freedom of movement.

The plaintiff Bertolt Brecht

urges production company Nero-Films

to give up adapting to the cinema

"The Threepenny Opera"

if you don't use the script provided by the plaintiff.

I have the right and the duty to protect my job,

Its content, its style and its title.

How to protect a work

that has been sold to a producer?

Mr. Brecht wanted to give "The Threepenny Opera"

a certain political color that,

beyond the censorship problems,

does not respect our neutral position.

I wanted to prevent the work became a trifle.

He said he didn't care capital or censorship.

Not even the bankruptcy of the production company.

That is unacceptable.

The movie is addressed to an audience

who doesn't care philosophical reasoning.

It's less of a question of philosophy than of reality.

The philosophy and the study of reality

They are as distant as masturbation and love.

We'll have to see the play.

I will see you in the Schiffbauerdamm theater.

Have mercy on me, Macheath is in a bind,

a reversal of fortune He threw it at the bottom of a well.

Receive his message,

the walls imprison him.

�My friends, worry about me!

If you don't toast on my grave.

Come save me,

don't let him hit her.

A whole life...

in which we understood each other with a simple look.

Three years in India,

George was there, and also Jim.

Five years in London, And this is what I get?

Here hangs Macheath, that he didn't hurt anyone.

A false friend betrayed him.

With the rope around my neck, He will feel the weight of his betrayal.

If you think like that, If you attack my honor...

- Your honor! - Of course.

Your Lord Judge!

"The Threepenny Opera" It is not an original work,

is the adaptation of the "Beggar's Opera."

Furthermore,

The verses he sings Macheath are not by Brecht

but from François Villon, translation by K. L. Ammer.

Well?

Many boast to write works

built with poor materials that they themselves carry.

They ignore the buildings bigger.

What an individual is able to build.

Beautiful.

But I took out Ammer.

Discovered the fact, I only recognized

having forgotten cite your sources.

He jumps into the bullfighter

the right of intellectual property.

�Property problems

happen when a neighbor gets on your property!

I agree with Ammer.

I refuse to talk about property rights.

Copyright They are from another era

and they are surpassed.

My copyright I care as much as

those of the spectator

who has the right to see the complete work.

I do not defend the author of an idea,

I prefer that it benefits everyone,

let it circulate, let it be exploited.

I suggest that

use the "Beggar's Opera" with our songs.

But don't title the movie "The Threepenny Opera."

Silence.

But we acquire the rights

of the work and the title.

This work...

Continue.

We don't want to make them wait.

Ladies and gentlemen,

they are going to see the end of a member of a class in danger.

We, artisans of the petite bourgeoisie,

that we force the box merchant register,

we are being swallowed by the great industry supported by banks.

What is the difference between a gang and a bank action?

What is the difference between a robbery banking and the creation of a bank?

What is the difference between the murder of a man and his hiring?

This diatribe is not I was at work.

It's an addition.

But it is the future, so it will be.

It's monstrous.

�A gangster turned into banker knows what he's talking about!

It is useless to talk about art with these gentlemen.

Silence.

Brecht is constantly reworking their texts.

Always.

I integrated this diatribe In later work,

It's part of her.

I would like to see the end and,

if possible, without interruption.

The execution.

�Listen who is coming, the Royal messenger!

On the occasion of his coronation,

the queen orders

immediate release by Captain Macheath.

�Saved!

�Saved!

�I knew it!

When the situation It's desperate,

salvation always comes.

We have to change everything. Even the ending.

The public has understood it and applauded.

The judge and the lawyers They perform a judicial play.

It doesn't matter what it is the trial result,

We will make the movie without them.

Banking has changed hands.

The bankers acquired his fortune through crime.

They rob a bank, before founding his own.

A woman must be personification of this change.

In her recklessness, Polly has known absolute happiness.

She becomes a woman active, realistic and wise.

She presides over the assembly general of the Macheath Gang

who decides to buy the National Bank. Why?

Times change.

I think we'll get away with ours.

It's not my business,

but can a woman...

at a time like this...

I don't doubt that you...

Kind of mangy dog, you start wrong...

Be careful, otherwise, these gentlemen

They will tear off your skin in strips.

Is it not so, gentlemen?

Bravo! The woman of Captain, you speak very well.

Long live Polly!

At the same time,

Mrs. Peachum, drunk as always,

is sitting with the dogs and sam

who smokes a cigarette butt street pickup.

Peachum is right. I'm just a poor cripple.

We can do much better.

The talent

It's what I miss.

I wish I could be indispensable.

What they said:

"Where's Sam, "We need it."

"How lucky you are here."

Release Mr. Macheath,

the new owner of the National Bank.

If I release it, the poor neighborhoods

They will rebel against the police.

And they will sabotage the coronation of the queen.

The police cannot act if The misery is too great.

So we will have to take measures against poverty.

- How? - Strengthening the police.

PLAY WITH FIRE

Influential people have advised to the police

let them face to our demands.

The liberation of banker Macheath

will take place first time of night.

Let's go! Troop in formation!

Sam, you're coming too.

"Forward, the poorest of the homeless!

You're a genius, Peachum.

But don't go too far.

You appeal to poverty.

But don't forget that This is immense.

I'll tell them it's time to settle accounts.

But with whom?

Be careful of Don't ask us for anything.

I'll think about it.

I often make threats,

but this time I'm serious.

It could turn against me.

I can only tell with the police.

But will it arrive on time?

During this night of vigil,

the police chief wanders, anxious, through the streets

who will see the procession pass

to the joy of all.

Under the bridge, see the shapeless heaps

of the crudest misery.

Among them, Sam, the amputee,

who is already starting to dream.

Just like we can't help that someone wants to take revenge,

He dreams of great turmoil.

Poverty is discredited.

The useful puts on the stripes,

stupidity loses its power,

brutality no longer pays.

When I carried you in my womb,

things here were no longer going well.

I often thought that the child I was waiting for

I would be born into a miserable world.

And I was worried

Lullaby of A PROLETARIAN MOTHER

And I was worried

could lose it.

The child I carried in me belly will have to help

make this world a better place.

And I saw bread in the shop windows,

but the hungry do not They had the right to eat it.

The child I carried in me belly will have to keep silent and bow down

if you want to eat that bread...

Everyone in training

The SA march with sure step...

At the call of the butcher,

the calf closes its eyes

and walk with sure steps.

The calves whose blood has already flowed

they accompany him in thought,

everyone in formation.

They are not calves,

They are butchers.

They were deceived, and we let it happen.

An abandoned calf can be easily deceived.

Even by his executioner.

They are going to massacre us.

The theaters are closing.

The threat is growing.

Weill received a message in your mailbox

in which They called him a dirty Jew.

We received a visit from five SA.

The cross they carry on your red flag

It is not that of the poor.

It's all this is what it should denounce with art

and in reality.

Sentence handed down by the Berlin court.

The complaint was dismissed.

The costs of the trial are borne borne by the plaintiff.

Silence!

Reasons for the sentence.

The accused respects the work.

The author must tolerate

the adaptation of his work. It is not established

that these changes are of a serious nature.

Therefore, the complaint is dismissed.

What do you think of the trial?

I wanted to show that it is impossible

deal with the film industry.

This is the test. I have lost my mind.

A sum of 800,000 frames for an artist

who defends his ideals: Could this be a historical process?

We see how the works of the spirit They become commodities.

When you go to the cinema,

they will know that the movie

is a product of a world where everything is merchandise.

Kurt Weill won his trial.

Are you going to appeal?

It's the money, not the law, which will prevent me from doing it.

He remembered what he could do a film of my work,

what will be "The movie of threepence."

Thank you.

His statements have raised and have been the subject of much debate.

The ending is different from the work.

How will your movie end?

The police chief watching the raw misery under the bridge,

has a dream

THE DREAM OF THE POLICE CHIEF

Something is moving, spreads at full speed,

crosses the parapet of the bridge.

It's misery

that advances in training.

A great wave that advances over the sleeping city.

Gentlemen, today you see me washing glasses and making beds.

They give me a penny, and I thank you.

You can see my rags and this tattered hotel

But they don't know Who are they talking to?

But one night You will hear screams in the port,

they will see me smile behind my glasses

and you will wonder why I smile.

A ship with eight sails

and fifty cannons

will dock at the port.

They tell me to wash the glasses for a penny,

I take the coin, I make the bed,

where no one will sleep,

and they still don't know who I am...

One afternoon, the port will be full with an unknown roar,

they will see me looking out the window

you will wonder from where comes this malicious smile.

And the ship with eight sails.

And fifty cannons

he will fire on the city.

They will descend to land by hundreds,

they will advance close to the walls

they will capture everyone the inhabitants of the city,

they will chain them and They will appear before me

wondering How many must die.

One afternoon, everything will be silent

in the port, and they will ask me

who must die,

and they will hear me say:

�Everyone!

And as heads roll

I will say:

�Another!

This type of dream They have their consequences.

The police chief decides sacrifice Macheath.

He meets Mr. Peachum, whom his wife had warned.

They will come out of the slums,

And who are they going to blame?

They will hang Mr. Macheath,

and they will lynch the police chief.

-As for the queen... - What?

Will he spare our lives?

What will they do?

It can be painful.

They agree.

We have a common enemy.

The people under the bridge.

The real misery.

And Mr. Macheath?

He knows that the gangsters form part of an endangered class

and has become a banker.

The acquisition of the Bank National for his band

holds a promising future for the next generations.

I have written a text,

you will compose the music.

The acquisition of the bank

It materializes in an image.

It's not cool to create a bank.

Everyone thinks which is great.

Whoever does not inherit one fortune must build one.

Therefore, stocks are better

than revolvers or knives.

The only significant problem:

Initial capital required.

When the money runs out,

�where to find it without stealing?

Let's not argue,

How do bankers do it?

Money comes from somewhere.

We will have to take it away from someone.

THE MESSENGERS OF MR. MACHEATH

We will have to take it away from someone.

The messengers of National Bank meet

under police protection, the hero's bail.

But you are very thin!

I'm the one who fucks the ladies

in the absence of the boss.

A united society for the same fight

receives into his bosom Banker Macheath.

Saved!

Saved!

When the situation It's desperate,

Salvation always comes.

My dear Macheath is saved,

I'm so happy.

�Mr. Macheath!

I wouldn't say that your marriage with my daughter

It would suit me particularly.

But I've changed my mind

taking a look at their businesses.

They are going to return to talk about corruption

and will suggest that the Secretary of State has been bribed.

They love the fact that

let's not respect the law enough.

Jackie,

there is no need to evade the law,

It is enough to apply the law.

This legal machine is ideal,

perfectly adapted.

If we apply it a smart way,

We will not take any risk.

In my opinion,

we don't have the people adequate at the top of the State.

They all belong to a party.

The parties are selfish.

we need men above the parties,

like us. Businessmen.

we have to get

that businessmen are good businessmen,

the employees, good employees,

the rich, good rich,

and the poor, good poor.

I am convinced

that we will see the arrival of such a society.

I will be one of your artisans.

(Brecht's original voice) To those who come after.

Truly, I'm living in a dark time.

Any harmless speech is out of place.

A full uniform front anger surrounds us.

He who laughs,

is that it has not yet heard the terrible news.

What times are these?

in which to talk about trees seems like something criminal

since it is equivalent to silence so many evils?

Where do you cross the street running?

so they don't come near you friends in trouble?

It's true,

I still make a living,

but it's pure coincidence.

None of my activities

It allows me to eat until I'm satisfied.

For the moment, I'm safe,

But if my luck changes, will be lost.

I would like to show wisdom,

that which is taught in old books,

who stays away from the disputes of the world,

that makes you pass without fear, the little time one has,

living without violence,

returning evil for good.

Forget your own desires, instead of satisfying them,

That is considered wise.

But I can't.

Actually, I live in a dark time

Why didn't you do it? "The Threepenny Movies"?

The political evolution of the country It prevented me from staying there.

Before the wave of violence and censorship,

I felt useless.

They promised me to "escape" of the fury of the people

locking myself in a field specially designed,

but I knew it wasn't out of deference to me.

I left the country and traveled.

We hit rock bottom,

that was the best part.

Do you believe that your work has had an impact? in the following generations?

We have been precursors,

nothing significant has arisen later.

But, dear public, judge for yourself.

You have to try the dish to know if it's good.

Do you think your work is understood?

I'm afraid to continue being him author who wrote this verse:

Eat first, then morals!

He wrote other verses for the movie,

a new ending Can we hear it?

It's just a proposal,

but if you keep it in your memory, It will be a great honor.

Okay

what ends well.

It couldn't have turned out better.

As long as the money is there,

we always manage to get ahead.

Because while some

they live in the shadows,

the others

they sunbathe.

We see those who live in broad daylight,

but we do not see the who live in darkness.

Surprise!
