至暗时刻

选择去欧洲德国,很大一部分是因为喜欢那里的历史和文化。现在无论是人类还是我们自己的生活,都真正经历最黑暗的时刻。希望有时间重温一下历史,给我们一些信念和支持,我们必将能获得最后的胜利。有更好的明天。

英国首相曾说:人最可贵的精神就是无畏。成功并非终点,失败也非终结。唯有前行的勇气才是永恒。
1940年5月9日,德国攻占了大半个欧洲,三百万德军逼向比利时边境,准备拿下整个欧洲。
眼看火烧到了家门口,英国人再也坐不住了,议会上鸽派的张伯伦主张与德国和谈。
他的妥靖政策让反对派强烈不满,反对派要他马上下台,英国人民需要新的领袖。
当晚,张伯伦慎重考虑后,决定次日辞职。但仍保留保守党主席,继任首相也将在保守党选出。外交大臣哈利.法克斯是子爵也是国王的好友,上议院推举他为首相,但他婉言拒绝了,因为首相这个职位目前是一个烂摊子。反对派只认可鹰派的丘吉尔。他是现任海军大臣,也是众人眼中的“疯子”。雪茄不离手,嗜酒如命。爱吃大鱼大肉,还喜欢躺在床上吃早餐。丘吉尔就职第一天需要觐见国王,国王倾向让外交大臣哈利.法克斯接任首相,而不是丘吉尔。丘吉尔的履历并不好,但就连张伯伦都承认,丘吉尔对希特勒的判断是正确的。国王授权丘吉尔首相职位,丘吉尔爽快接受了。在确定内阁成员时,丘吉尔选择了张伯伦与哈利.法克斯,没有这些对手的支持,张伯伦无法在政党中立足。因为丘吉尔不选择和谈,张伯伦与哈利.法克斯私下协议会提起不信任动议,将丘吉尔赶下台。与此同时比利时和荷兰即将沦陷。法国第九军团落荒而逃。驰援法国的30万英军也在进行全面撤退。德军控制了战略主动权,将军们都觉得应该退守本土。而丘吉尔认为当务之急是鼓励法国人英勇抵抗。英法两国唇亡齿寒,法国被攻陷,英国就只有英吉利海峡最后一道屏障。
丘吉尔随即乘坐飞机抵法国会见了法国总理。然而法国人并没有制定任何反攻计划。他们对德军依然抱有幻想。丘吉尔此行无功而返,法国总理骂他是个彻头彻尾的疯子。与此同时,哈利.法克斯私下会见了国王。他极力主张撤掉丘吉尔,与德国进行和谈。国王的态度和决策很大程度上会受他的影响。5月19日晚丘吉尔将要发表广播演讲。尽管战局不利,他依然要向公众传达必胜的信念。面对周围人的质疑和反对,他偶尔也会情绪失控。每当这是,夫人都会温柔地安慰他,称呼他是自己的“小猪”。走出首相官邸时,他冲着记者摆出了胜利的手势。晚上9点,丘吉尔略带紧张地向全国人民发表演讲。德军越过阿登高地,突破了法国的马奇诺防线。法国门户大开,开战的头两天,德军并没有遭遇任何反抗。丘吉尔宣称英国人民坚信法国军队会顽强抵抗。英国将与法国并肩作战,直至战争胜利。。。。。。
国王打来电话,斥责丘吉尔发表激进演讲误导公众,迫使公众陷入盲目的猜测。
一个星期后战事愈发紧张,德军在法国境内长驱直入。英法几十万联军全部撤退到了法国的敦刻尔克海岸。如果没有办法拯救他们,英国将会丧失所有的军力。此时德军的追击部队离海岸只有80公里,如果德军穷追猛打,英法联军必将全军覆没。丘吉尔下了死命令,必须尽快撤出敦刻尔克的联军。由驻守加来的4000名守军阻击德军以此来延缓德军的攻势,为敦刻尔克大撤退争取时间。如有必要,他们必须战斗到最后一个人倒下。
为了30万人撤退牺牲掉4000人,哈利.法克斯坚决反对。他提议在意大利的斡旋下与德国展开和谈。可丘吉尔认为,如今在战局是,希特勒全面压制,就算要和谈,德国人也不可能尊重他们的自由和独立。丘吉尔说他要让那个疯子看看,在他们撤退之前希特勒绝不可能攻占英伦三岛,他会为这次抉择负全部责任。
i will take full responsibility, that’s the reason i am sitting on this chair.
接着丘吉尔被问到,你对和平谈判怎么看?你是否已经预先排除了谈判的可能性?
丘吉尔没有回答,而是让众人离开会场。
在保证敦刻尔克大撤退命令执行的前提下,他要与两个鸽派领导人私下谈判。他需要适当妥协,否则很可能会被拉下马。
陷入困境的丘吉尔打电话给美国罗斯福总统寻求援助。他想借一些旧式军舰,可此时的美国为了置身事外,已经签署了《中立法》,所以只能远远地看着。就连英军从美国购买的P-40战斗机,美国也不愿意在此时交付。罗斯福提议可以将战斗机运到英属加拿大边境,英国可以派出一队马把战机拖回去,或者靠人推也行。反正不能用带引擎的机器运输。
此时的丘吉尔顶着来自各方的巨大压力。但他坚信,只要自己屹立不倒,英国就还有希望。
英国战舰不足,美国不肯借,为了完成战略撤退,他下令海军将领召集民用船只,这项行动的代号被命名为“发动机行动”。
5月26日,国王召见丘吉尔共进午餐,丘吉尔毫不做作,该吃就吃,该喝就喝。一边和国王聊天,一边喂桌下面的小狗。
下午,将军汇报最新战况:阻击德军的加来守军已经伤亡过半。丘吉尔认为和平谈判的言论只会把英国拖下滑坡,跌入深渊。即使被打败,下场也比现在就放弃抗争要强。哈利.法克斯坚决反对。哈利.法克斯认为战斗到底只是浪漫的幻想。如果可以避免战争,却坚持战斗,那就毫无英勇可言。面对吃败仗的战争,谈判求和没什么不光彩的。在我们兵力被彻底消耗完之前谈判,尽可能获得最好的结果。希特勒不会提出离谱的条件,他会将道理的。
丘吉尔大骂,你们何时才能吸取教训?
You can not Reason with a Tiger when your head is in its mouth!
哈利.法克斯表示如果24小时内他不批准进一步探讨和谈,他就会选择辞职。此时,如果内阁成员再出现变动,必定会雪上加霜。
丘吉尔返回官邸,电令加来守军奋勇抵抗,每拖延一个小时,敦刻尔克大撤退就多一份希望。就算战至一兵一卒,也不许撤退。我重复,不准撤退。
此时此刻,残存的加来守军遭到了德国的猛烈轰炸,最终4000名加来守军全部阵亡,他们拖住了德军三天。
5月27日早,丘吉尔赶到了战事部。比利时已经沦陷,法国将会在不久后宣布投降。英国此时已经孤立无援。哈利.法克斯施压,逼迫丘吉尔接受和谈。迫于眼下紧张的局势,丘吉尔不得不松口。
丘吉尔深夜独坐房间。
正是你内心的斗争锤炼了你,在这样的时刻。你强大是因为你还能进步,你睿智是因为你不断质疑。
国王来官邸拜访丘吉尔。国王为了和谈的事而来,战时内阁已经开始着手准备了,国王告诉丘吉尔,你最好还是先听听自己的想法。丘吉尔认为,斗争到底的国家和民族将会再次崛起,而那些没骨气选择投降的国家,最终只会灭亡。但丘吉尔一直无法得到内阁和议会的坚定支持。国王做到他身边轻声说,我会支持你。虽然国内对你担任首相大感不安,但最感到不安和害怕的还是希特勒。能让希特勒感到忌惮和害怕的人,值得举国上下毫无保留地信任和支持。国王建议,倾听人民的心声,让他们引导你。他们通常默不作声,你要告诉他们血淋淋的真相。
5月28日,前线传来好消息,海军共召集到了860艘渔船。丘吉尔下令,发动机行动启动。
丘吉尔去了坐地铁,询问人民,如果最坏的情况出现了,比如敌人出现在了街道上,你们会怎么做? 大家异口同声地回答,战斗。
丘吉尔再次问道,如果我们可能会跟希特勒签订和约。你们觉得怎样?

对于这世间众人,死亡迟早降临。但是怎样的思维能比直面强敌,为了守护先祖遗骨和信仰的神庙而死更为崇高?

丘吉尔来到下议院,用激情澎湃的演讲说服所有人,那时一种永不屈服的感染力,也是一种来自灵魂里的信念。丘吉尔还剩下最难啃的骨头,哈利.法克斯和张伯伦。他坚定的表态,绝不接受谈判得来的和平。哈利.法克斯鼓动张伯伦立即投票弹劾首相。张伯伦没有明确回复,只是说等演讲过后再做决定。
丘吉尔演讲:
我本人充满信心,如果所有人都忠于职守,不出任何纰漏,凡事都像现在这样安排周密的话,我们就能再次证明,我猛能够保家卫国。能在战争的风暴中胜出。在暴政的威胁中生存下来。
如果有必要,那就打持久战。
如果有必要,那就孤军奋战。
无论如何,这就睡我们每个人的决心。这就是议会以及全国人民的意愿。
我们需要为了这个目的联合起来。誓死捍卫自己的领土。
我们绝不动摇,绝不言败,我们要战斗到底。
我们要在海滩上战斗,在陆地上战斗,在大街上战斗,在山坡上战斗。
我们要不惜一切代价,越战越勇,越战越强。
即便整个英国陷入战乱和饥荒,我们也绝不屈服,直到适当的时机来临,新的世界将倾其全力挺身而出,拯救并解放旧的世界,我们一定会取得最终的胜利。

张伯伦掏出手帕,向身后的党徒示意赞成。

人最可贵的精神在于无畏,政治战场上如此,人生战场上亦然如此。


The Judge

“you can say goodbye to your dreams of flags flying at half-mast when you’re dead.”

“It’s half-staffed… no one says half-mast anymore. “

You know, 90% of the country believe in ghosts?Less than a third believes in evolution?35% can correctly identify Homer Simpson and the fictional town he resides.Less than 1% knows the man Thurgood Marshall(瑟古德·马歇尔(Thurgood Marshall,1908年7月2日-1993年1月24日),美国法律人士,1967年至1991年间担任美国最高法院大法官,他是第一位担任此职的非裔美国人。)But, when you put 12 Americans togetherin a jury and ask for justice.Something hard to believe happens.More often than not, they get it right.

I went saw mom today.

Yeah?Nice…

Where is she now?

Where’s who?Where is Mary? you’re thinking something else…After we died?you’re asking me if I believe in god? Do you? I’m 72, stage 4 cancer. What choice do I have?

You know what? That makes me, what?

A. A…More superior prick never slipped into his shoes.Damn it, Hank, I loved you then and I love you now.I do. I love how…you’re simultaneously,the most selfish and the most generous person I know.I love how…You hate a bully while you’re being one, that your constant second-guessing of others that…That…Crystal ball bullshit? That, that, that…That hyper-verbal vocabulary vomiting that you do…And Just disappeared right beside me, Hank.

Say it again.

All of it?- Yep…?

When are you and mommy getting a divorce?What? Put your hand where it’s intended to.- Where did you hear that?- It is pretty obvious…Well, the way these things work,you know, it takes a long time,happens in stages and…- Your stuff are in boxes,- that’s a stage.you’re not wearing your wedding rings, and you probably going to askme who I want to live with. – So which stage are we in?- That one.You know too much.- Mommy will be lonely.- Yeah? What about me?- So would I.- Daddies don’t get lonely.They only marry younger mommies.Well, we will figure it all out, baby.It happened to Megan and then it happened to Kaitlin.I Just didn’t think it’ll happen to me.Me neither.


Hope

President Snow: Hope, it is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective, a lot of hope is dangerous. A spark is fine, as long as it’s contained.


Unbroken

Unbroken is a 2014 American war film produced and directed by Angelina Jolie and written by the Coen brothers, Richard LaGravenese, and William Nicholson. It is based on the 2010 non-fiction book by Laura Hillenbrand, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption. The film stars Jack O’Connell as USA Olympian and army officer Louis “Louie” Zamperini, who survived in a raft for 47 days after his bomber crash-landed in the ocean during the Second World War, before being captured by the Japanese and being sent to a series of prisoner of war camps.
The film had its world premiere in Sydney on November 17, 2014, followed by a London premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square on November 26, 2014. The film was released in the United States on December 25, 2014. It received mixed reviews from critics, though praised O’Connell’s performance and Jolie’s direction and was a moderate financial success, grossing $163 million worldwide. The film was followed by a sequel, Unbroken: Path to Redemption, in 2018.

前奧運會男子田徑運動員、曾打破世界紀錄的美軍飛行員路易·贊貝里尼在太平洋戰爭期間因舊機機械故障墜機,在海上用橡皮艇漂流了47天後,又被日本帝國海軍俘虜,經日軍的數個戰俘營關押了超過兩年半的時間。期間多次遭受日軍看守的囚禁,虐待,笞打,以及艱苦環境,利誘欲使屈服的考驗,最終堅持到日本戰敗投降,盟軍勝利,成功歸國與家人團圓。後來他以德報怨,寬恕了當年的施暴者,並返回東京,傳遞了奧運聖火。




Truth

“- This isn’t an interrogation or a trail. Your version of the truth is the only thing that matters.

-Truth is singular. It’s ‘versions’ are mistruths.”


Life Of Pi

“So, a Canadian who’s come to French India in search of a story.”

“Well, my friend, I know an Indian in French Canada…with the most incredible story to tell.” “It must be fate that the two of you should meet.”

You cannot follow three different religions at the same time, Piscine.

Why not?

Because believing in everything at the same time…is the same as not believing in anything at all.

He’s young, Santosh. He’s still finding his way.

And how can he find his way if he does not choose a path?Listen, instead of leaping from one religion to the next…why not start with reason? In a few hundred years…science has taken us farther in understanding the universe…than religion has in 10,000.

That is true. Your father is right.Science can teach us more about what is out here…but not what is in here.

Some eat meat, some eat vegetable. I do not expect us all to agree about everything…but I would much rather have you believe in something I don’t agree with…than to accept everything blindly.And that begins with thinking rationally. Do you understand?

Faith is a house with many rooms.But no room for doubt?

Oh, plenty.On every floor.Doubt is useful.It keeps faith a living thing.

After all, you cannot know the strength of your faith until it’s been tested.



Letters –the thin Red Line

My dear wife,
you get something twisted out of your insides by all this blood, filth, and noise.
I wanna stay changeless for you.
I wanna come back to you the man I was before.
How do we get to those othershores?
To those blue hills.
Love.
Where does it come from?
Who lit this flame in us?
No war can put it out, conquer it.
I was a prisoner.
You setme free.



Dear Jack, 
I've met an AirForce captain. I've fallen in love with him. I wanta divorce to marry him. I know you can say no,but I'm asking you anyway, out of the memory of what we had together. Forgive me. It just got too lonely, Jack. We'll meet again some day. People who have been as close as we've been always meet again. I have no right to speak to you this way. I can't stop myself. A habit so strong. Oh, my friend of all those shining years. Help me leave you!

Serenity

Serenity is the balance between good and bad, life and death, horrors and pleasures. Life is, as it were, defined by death. If there wasn’t death of things, then there wouldn’t be any life to celebrate.

We run around so much – with the best intentions: I want to save the rain forest. I’ve gotta clean up the oceans. I’ve gotta save the dolphins. All worthy efforts, but if you’re not centered and you don’t have the serenity in your life you need to accomplish that task, you’re not going to do a very good job.

Your days are short here; this is the last of your springs. And now in the serenity and quiet of this lovely place, touch the depths of truth, feel the hem of Heaven. You will go away with old, good friends. And don’t forget when you leave why you came.


separation is an illusion

Sixsmith. I climb the steps of the Scot monument every morning and all becomes clear. Wish I could make you see this brightness. Don’t worry, all is well. All is so perfectly, damnably well. I understand now that boundaries between noise and sound are conventions. All boundaries are conventions, waiting to be transcended. One may transcend any convention if only one can first conceive of doing so. Moments like this, I can feel your heart beating as clearly as I feel my own, and I know that separation is an illusion. My life extends far beyond the limitations of me.


Death and Peace | The Thin Red Line

 

I remember my mother when she was dying.
Looked all shrunk up and grey.
I asked her if she was afraid.
She just shook her head.
I was afraid to touch the death seen in her.
I couldn't find nothing beautiful or up liftingabout her going back to God.
I heard people talk about immortality,but I ain't seen it.
I wondered how it'd be when I died.
What it'd be like to know that this breath nowwas the last one you was ever gonna draw.
I just hope I can meet it the same way she did.
With the same... calm.

Thin Red Line, The (1998) Movie Script

What's this war in the heart of nature?
Why does nature vie with itself?.
The land contend with the sea?
Is there an avenging power in nature?
Not one power, but two?
I remember my mother when she was dying.
Looked all shrunk up and grey.
I asked her if she was afraid.
She just shook her head.
I was afraid to touch the death seen in her.
I couldn't find nothing beautiful or up liftingabout her going back to God.
I heard people talk about immortality,but I ain't seen it.
I wondered how it'd be when I died.
What it'd be like to know that this breath nowwas the last one you was ever gonna draw.
I just hope I can meet it the same way she did.
With the same... calm.
Cos that's where it's hidden -the immortality I hadn't seen.
Kids around here never fight.
Sometimes.
Sometimes when you see them playing
they always fight!
- Is she afraid of me?- Little bit.
- Are you afraid of me?- Yes.
- Why?- Cos you look...
You look as an army!
- I look army?- Yes.
Well, that don't matter.
It doesn't matter.
- Baby's tired.- Yes.
If she swims, she wants, she will sleep.
All right, come on. Turn around.
Go, go, go, go. Go!
Come on, go.
Go, go, go, go!
Witt, patrol boat!
She's American.
What's it doing out here all alone?
You haven't changed at all, have you, Witt?
You haven't learned a thing.
All a man has to do is leave it to you,you'll put your head in the noose for him.
How many times you been AWOL?
Been in the army, what? Six years now?
Ain't it time you smartened upand stopped being such a punk recruit?
I mean, if you're ever gonna.
We can't all be smart.
No, we can't, and that's a shame.
Look at you.
Truth is,you can't take straight duty in my company.
You'll never be a real soldier,not in God's world.
This is C Company,of which I'm First Sergeant. I run this outfit.
Captain Staros, he's the CO, but I'm the guywho runs it. Nobody's gonna foul that up.
You're just another mouth for me to feed.
Normally, you'd be court-martialled.
But I worked a deal for ya.
Gotta consider yourself lucky.
I'm sending you to a disciplinary outfit.
You'll be a stretcher-bearer.You'll be taking care ofthe wounded.
I can take anything you dish out.
I'm twice the man you are.
In this world...
a man himself is nothing.
And there ain't no world but this one.
You're wrong there, Top.
I seen another world.
Sometimes I thinkit was just... my imagination.
Well,
then you've seen things I never will.
We're living in a world that's blowing itselfto hell as fast as everybody can arrange it.
In a situation like that all a man can dois shut his eyes and let nothing touch him.
Look out for himself.
I might be the best friend you ever had.
You don't even know it.
He hates you worse than poison.
I never felt he hated me, cos I don't hate him.
I love Charlie Company.
They're my people.
They call it "The Rock".
Nobody wants this island.Japs just put an airfield there.
Fighting's confined to this area.
This is their road to Australia, and this is theirway of controlling the sea lanes to America.
If we're gonna stop the Japs' advance into theSouth Pacific, we've gotta do it right there.
The Marines have done theirjob.Now it's our turn.
Worked myass off.
Brown-nosed the generals.
Degraded myself
for them andmyfamily.
For myhome.
- I admire you, Colonel. I do.- Thank you, sir.
Most men your agewould have retired by now.
It's OK.
We need general officerswith maturity and character like you.
We've got good sergeantsand good lieutenant colonels.
But once a man gets those eagles,he can't wait to get that star.
He becomes a politician, right?
Goes along to get along.
So goddamn hard to stay upright.
- You said it there, sir.- With the Admiral watching, which he will be.
- There's always someone watching.- Yeah.
Like a hawk.
Always someone ready to jump in,if you're not.
- D'you have a son, Colonel?- Yes, sir.
Good. We don't want our sons or grandsonsfighting this war 30 years from now, do we?
- No, sir, we sure don't.- Then you crush 'em without mercy.
You dig them out ofthe hillsand protect that airfield.
Yes, sir.
You wonder why... Why did the Japsput an airfield there of all places?
I guess we don't know the bigger picture,if there is such a thing.
- What do you think?- Well, sir, I never ask myselfthat question.
You're a humble man.
Nobody wants that island... but you.
How much do you want it?
As much as I have to, sir.
All theysacrifiicedforme
poured outlike water on the ground.
All lmighthave given forlove's sake.
Too late.
Died...
slow as a tree.
D'you feel it?
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Take topside to the signalbridge.
The closeryou are to Caesar,the greater the fear.
I just can't helphow damn scared I am, sarge, all right?
I can't help it. I got...
My stepdaddy took a blockand beat me when I was real little
and I was scaredand I used to run, I used to hide.
Hell, I slept in the chicken coopa whole lot of nights.
And I never thoughtit'd get no worse than that.
But I'm living by the... by the minute here.I'm counting the seconds.
Hell, we're gonna be landing soonand there's gonna be air raids.
We're probably gonna diebefore we get offthe beach.
This place is...It's like a big floating graveyard.
- What's your name, kid?- I wanna own an automobile when I get out.
- What's your name?- Edward, Edward B Train.
Train?
The only things that are permanentis, is dying and the Lord. That's it.
That's all you gotta worry about. This warain't... gonna be the end of me or you neither.
- Think we'll catch an air raid?- How in the hell should I know?
All's I know are them crew guys saidthey didn't catch no air raid the last time.
On the other hand,time before last they nearly got blew up.
What d'you want me to tell you?
You're a big help, Tills.Nothing. Tell me nothing.
Tell you something.
We're sitting out here on this oceanlike a couple offuckin' ducks in these boats.
I already know that.
Well, brood on it, Tills.
Brood on it.
- Ain't you watching the fun?- I ain't interested.
- Yeah, I guess it is pretty crowded.- Wouldn't be interested, even if it wasn't.
Well, I'm on my way to get me that pistol.
Yeah? Well, have fun.
Yeah, have fun.
You'll wish you had one once we get ashoreand run into some ofthem samurai sabres.
Open this door! Open this goddamn door!
Open the door!
You all learn to deal these cards...
All right. Here I am sleeping, yeah.
All right, ladies.Is this a sewing circle or a card game?
All right, jack's high, jack to bet.Robert's got two jacks.
I never bargained for nothing like this when Isigned up for this man's army before the war.
How was I supposed to know there wasgonna be a fuckin' war, huh? Answer me that.
All I know is Charlie Company'salways getting screwed. Always.
And I can tell you whose fault it is, too.
It's that captain of ours.
First he gets us stuck off on this boatwhere we don't know a fucking soul.
Then he gets us stuck way down in fourthplace on the list to get offthis son of a bitch.
Hello, Captain.
I read in your 201 filethat you were an officer before the war.
How'd you end up a private?
Cos of my wife.
I was in the corps of engineers.
We'd never been separated before,
not even for a night.
I took it for four months and then I quit.
Just resigned.
They sent me back to the States.
They told meI'd never get another commission.
They said they'd see to it I got draftedand that I for damn sure'd be in the infantry.
Sons of bitches.
No, I don't blame them.
Well, where is she now?
She's home.
Why shouldlbe afraid to die?
I belong to you.
Move! Move! Move!
Move! Move!
Move! Move!
Moving out!
Iflgo fiirst, I'll waitforyou there.
On the otherside ofthe dark waters.
Put your helmet on.
Be with me now.
- Feeling the pressure, Captain?- Yes, sir.
I like you, Captain.
And I just want you to know, well,we're in this thing together. All right?
Keep pressing inland till you reach the line.I'll catch up with you there.
- Yes, sir.- It's all yours, Captain.
Gangway! Gangway there!
Coming through!
Squad leaders! Both teams!
This way, son. This way, right here.
Stand by to go over the side!
Our Father, who art in heaven...
And forgive us our debts,as we forgive our debtors.
For Thine is the kingdom,and the power, and the glory.
Your outfit's lucky.
Transports must've been spotted.
You're getting outta here just ahead oftime.
Take a breath, mister. You gotta breathe!
- You Charlie Company?- Yeah.
We went in a mile. Nothing there.
Some oil drums.There'd be nothing there for...
- A week.- A week, sir.
No casualties. Japs must've hauled ass.
Two mortars hit the beach,but most guys came in standing up.
Darnedest thing I ever did see.
They got fish that live in trees.
If they didn't know this beach was deserted,what else don't they know?
Who are you to live in all these manyforms?
Your death that captures all.
You, too, are the sourceofall that's gonna be born.
Your glory.
Mercy.
Peace.
Truth.
You give calm a spirit,
understanding,
courage.
The contentedheart.
Get a medic here!
Maybe allmen got one big soulwho everybody's a part of.
All faces ofthe same man.
One big self.
Everyone looking forsalvation byhimself.
Each like a coal
drawn from the fiire.
We're going straight up that hill there.
- We can't do that, Colonel.- Well, there's no way to outflank it.
On the left is a cliffthat falls down into the river.
The Japanese hold the jungle.It has to be taken frontally.
What about water, sir?It's not getting up here.
My men are... passing out, sir.
Only time you worry about a soldieris when he stops bitching.
We're all gonna attack abreast.Third Platoon in reserve.
We've gotta crossthose three folds of ground. You see?
Once we get beyond that,we gotta attack that hill.
Colonel says there's no way to outflank it,so we gotta take it head-on by frontal assault.
- Whyte?- Yeah?
- See the grassy ridges at the foot ofthat hill?- Yeah.
When you get to the end ofthat field,eliminate all strongpoints on those ridges.
I'm sure the Japs got something thereto protect the approaches.
Are you here?
Let me not betray you.
Let me not betray my men.
In you I place my trust.
Rosy-fingered dawn.
You're Greek, aren't you, Captain?
D'you ever read Homer?
We read Homer at the Point.
In Greek.
What kind ofartillerysupportdo we have, sir? Over.
- Two batteries of 105s.- They won'tmake a dent. Over.
No, but it bucks the men up.It'll look like the Japs are catching hell.
OK, you guys.
This is it.
We're going down in groups often.
There's no point in going by rushes.Only make a better target stopped, so...
run all the way.
We ain't got no choice.We're picked, so we gotta go.
I'm gonna take the first bunch myself.
I want Charlie Dale with me. Dale?
You go organise them guys that's up there.
Moving out in five minutes.
Let's go.
Sico?
- What's wrong with you?- I'm sick to my stomach.
Sico, you get up now,or I'll kick you so hard you're gonna be sick.
I can't. I would if I could.
I'm sick.
I'm sick.
You ain't sick. Get up!
- What's the matter, Sico?- I don't know, Sergeant.
It's my stomach. I'm in pain, I got cramps.
I can't even sit up straight. I'm sick.
- Come on, get up!- Leave him.
I need a volunteer to carry the BAR!Drop your gear. I'm taking you to the medics.
Thank you, Sergeant.
Don't argue with me.
Good luck, Keck.
Plug that hole on your right!
Move!
Maybe they pulled out.
Hit dirt!
Hit dirt!
Calm down, calm down,calm down, calm down.
Stretcher-bearers!
Come on!
Stretcher-bearers, this way!
- Go get that man.- We already got eight or nine down there...
- Don't argue with me! Get that man!- He's not the one we should think about...
Goddamn it, all ofyou!Am I in command here or am I not?!
- Am I the captain or a goddamn private?- Others are hit bad. That's all I meant.
- I gave you an order, private!- Yes, sir!
Hello, First Sergeant.
Who we going after over here?
We think it's Jacques.
Ol' Jockey.
Well, shit. That's, that's, that's too bad.
Sir?
Sir? Sir, can I come back to the companyafter we get Jockey back to the battalion?
- OK, but you gotta get permission.- Sure. And my rifle.
Nicky! You're still alive!
Keep moving! Keep moving!
Magnificent, Staros, magnificent. The finestthing these old eyes have seen in a long time!
Beautifully conceived and executed!You'll be mentioned in battalion orders.
Young Whyte ledbeautifully.
Yes, sir. Over.
But sending in your second too was brilliant.
They may have carried the ridge. I don't thinkthey were hurt too bad. Blane led well, too.
Now, how many emplacementsdid they locate?
Did they knock any out?
We ought to have those ridgescleaned outbynoon! Over.
Hello! Hello! Staros, are you there?
Here, sir. Over.
I said, howmany emplacements did theylocate? Did theyknock any out? Over.
Children.
I don't know, sir.
What the hell do you mean, you don'tknow?How can you notknow? Over.
I'm right here behind the first swell, sir.I'm right here behind the swell.
You want me to stand up and wave? Over.
No, I can see where you are.I want you to do something.
I want you to get up thereand see what the situation is.
I want Hill 210 in my hands tonight.
Now, goddamn it,the Admiral got up at dawn for this!
Come to life up there, Staros. Out!
Move up!
Hey, Keck!
Yeah!
- We gotta get out of here.- I know it.
Blane's dead.
You're in charge.
We know you there, Yank!
Tojo eats shit!
No! Roosevelt eats shit!
I got him! I got him!
I killeda man.
Hey, Queen!
Queen, you there?
Worst thing you can do.Worse than rape.
Queen! You see them Japsleaving that left ridge?
- I killed a man. Nobody can touch me for it.- I ain't seen nothing.
Well, get your fuckin' head upand look around!
I'm serious!
I counted seven Japsleaving that left-hand grassy ridge!
I got me one of 'em.
So?
I think maybe they're pulling out.
Maybe somebodyought to go tell the captain.
You wanna be the one to do it?
You just stay put! I'm ordering you!
Down!
Stay low.
Go! Go!
Go! Go!
What do we do now?
We wait right here. Maybethey'll send us up some reinforcements.
To do what?
To capture some ofthesefucking positions around here!
- You mean you really wanna go on with this?- Hell, no. No, not no uphill charge.
If they send us reinforcements,maybe we could scout around
and locate these machine guns.
- Anyway, it's better than going back down.- Something's coming!
They're coming!
What are they doin'?
If they want to throw us out,why didn't they come in force?
Maybe they was acting on their own.
Maybe they wanted to get into nirvana.
They're coming.
Keck!
Jesus!
Oh, Jesus!
I blew my butt off!
- It's all right. It's all right.- I blew my butt off!
Lay down!
What a fucking recruit trick to pull!
- Take it easy. Take it easy.- I grabbed it by the pin!
You write my old lady. You tell her...I want her to know I died like a man.
Nobody's gonna have to write her.You'll make it.
- Don't bullshit me!- Stay down!
Hey, hey.
Have I got mud on my face?
Wipe it off. Get it off.
No!
I'll write her. I promise.
Take my canteen.There's still some water in there.
It's for the best.
I'm all messed up down there.
I can't fuck no more.
Whoa... Where am l?
Where am l?
You're gonna be all right.
Even ifyou die,you didn't let your brother down.
If you hadn't thrown yourself againstthat embankment, we'd all have been killed.
I'm cold.
I'm cold.
I'm... freezing.
You gonna write his wife?
Fuck, no.
I don't know his old lady.
That's the company commander's job. Yououtta your mind? I ain't no good at writing.
You told him you would.
I'll say anything to 'emwhen they're like that.
Somebody ought to do it.
Well, then, you write her. Yeah, you write her.
What's wrong, Jim?
There's nothing anybody can do for him.He'll die before they get him to a surgeon.
- Then I can't ask you to go out there.- Maybe I could get some morphine into him.
- Would it keep him quiet?- Not for long, but I can give him two.
And I could maybe leave himthree or four for himself.
Couldn't you give 'em to him all at once?
That's what you are.
That's all there is for us.That's us, that's us.
I lost all twelve. I lost all twelve.
All twelve of 'em.
It's insanity up there.
I told 'em what to do, I showed 'emwhere to go and I gave 'em a push.
- Somebody help!- I know you. I know you, Sergeant.
It's insane. I don't know who's in charge here,but don't let him go! Don't let him go!
I'm outta here. I'm outta here.
I'm outta here. All right, move feet.Move, move, move, move. Move, move!
I'm moving. I'm moving. I'm moving now.
Don't touch. Don't touch. Don't look at me.Don't touch. OK, I'm outta here.
All right. All right.
All right. All right.
Somebody help me!
Help me!
You gotta be quiet. I came to help you, Tella.
- OK. Calm down.- Fuck you!
I'm dying! I'm dying, sarge!
OK. Well, goddamn it, do it with less noise!
- How you gonna get me out?- I'm gonna take you back.
- Come on.- No!
Put me down! Put me down!
Leave me alone... Leave me alone.
Please, leave me alone.
Give me more. Give me more.
Give me more. Give me more.
Give me more. Give me more.
Here, Tella.
Goodbye... goodbye.
Bye, kid.
Goodbye, sarge. Goodbye.
Fortunately, Jim, the fate ofthe companydoesn't depend on one man.
Sergeant, I saw the whole thingthrough the glasses.
I'm gonna mention you in orders tomorrowand recommend you for the Silver Star.
- It's the most courageous thing...- Captain,
you say one more word to thank me,I'll knock you right in the teeth.
You mention me in your fuckin' orders,and I'll resign so fast
and leave you hereto run this busted-up outfit by yourself.
You understand?
Property!Whole fuckin' thing's about property.
What's the matter with you, Staros? Thosemen should be reinforced immediately!
What are they doing?I can see 'em through my glasses.
They're lying behind thatledge!
They shouldbe up and out,cleaning out those machine guns! Over!
I don't think you understandwhat's going on, sir.
We've had... heavy casualties.
We had a man... His gut got shot outon the slopes, sir. Created quite an upset.
Fine, fine. Now,what about those reinforcements? Over.
I have... two squads to...
First Platoon I can send up, sir. Over.
What the hell do you mean, two squads?!
Goddamn you, Staros!When I say reinforcements,
goddamn it, I mean it! You commiteverybody you have there and do it now!
Your First Platoon, too. I see 'emlying on their fat asses doing nothing.
Get a man to 'em right now with orders toattack, and move 'em by the flank to the ridge.
Then get that Second Platoon over to the hill!
Have 'em press the centre.Go straight up that goddamn hill!
Attack them right now!
Jesus, Staros! Do lhave to give youa lesson on infantry tactics
while yourmenare getting theirasses shot off?.
Colonel, I don't think you fully understandwhat is going on here.
My company alonecannot take that position, sir.
The Japs are too well dug in.They've got too much fire power.
Colonel, there's a bunker up there.
We can't see it, and it's...it's chewing my men to pieces, sir.
I request permissionfor patrol reconnaissance around
to the right of Hill 210.I believe the entire position, sir,
can be outflankedwith a manoeuvre there in force.
- No! Goddamn it, no!- Mightsave lives!
There'll be no flanking move.
Listen, Staros.You're notgonna take yourmen
around into the jungleto avoid a goddamn fight!
Do you hear me, Staros? I want you to attackright now with every man at your disposal!
Now, attack, Staros! That's a direct order!
Sir, I must tell youthat I refuse to obey your order.
- There it is, right there. See it?- I don't see it.
This is not your fault, Jim.He's ordering you to.
I again request permission for patrolreconnaissance around to the right in force.
The time, sir,... is 1321 hours, 25 seconds.
I have two witnesses here. I request thatyou do the same with witnesses there. Over.
Staros, don't pull thisguardhouse-lawyer bullshit with me!
Now, lknowyou're a goddamn lawyer!This is nota court oflaw.
This is a war. It's a goddamn battle!
Now, I want that frontal attack.I repeat my order. Over.
Colonel, I refuse to take my men up therein a frontal attack.
It's suicide, sir.
I've lived with these men for two years, andI will not order them all to their deaths. Over.
This is a very important decision, Staros.
But if you feel that strongly, maybeyou have a reason, so I'm coming down.
Go take a look.
I'm not rescinding my order to you, son,
but if I find extenuating circumstanceswhen I get there, I'll take that into account.
Now, in the meantime, goddamn it,I want you to hold on until I get there.
And, ifpossible, you get those menon the ridge outandmoving! Out.
One spot's as good as another, men.
There's no place to hide.
Just take it easy, son.Take it easy. Take it easy.
Where's... where's Fife?
Fife? He's right here, son. Fife.
Hold my hand, Fife.
Hold my hand.
I got it.
I'm dying, Fife.
Oh, Captain...
Shut up in a tomb.
Can't lift the lid.
Played a role lnever conceived.
Get that blouse on, soldier.It's not a goddamn bathing beach!
Put it on right now.
What you aiming at, son?Let's go get those son of a bitches.
Move up!
What are you doing laying down therewhere you can't see a damn thing?
Observing, sir. Just sentFirst Platoon forward to the ridge.
- How many of 'em were hit this time?- None, sir.
None? Not one?
Doesn't sound like the situationyou described to me over the sound power.
Well, it's not. The situation's changedjust in the last five minutes, sir.
Captain, you listen to me.
We're going over thereand taking everybody with us.
Do you have any more complaintsor demurrers?
- No, sir. Not now.- All right! We're gonna do things my way!
My way! You understand that, Captain?
We're taking everybody over to that ledge!We may take that ridge by nightfall!
I think the ridgeis quite a way from being reduced, sir.
Show me how to see things the way you do.
Show me how to see things the way you do.
We're just dirt. We're just dirt.
We're gonna get killed ifwe stay here.
Bell, take six men
and go see what's up there.
And we'll cover you the best we canfrom down there.
OK.
You guys, you guys, stay here. OK?
I'm going alone.
Come out.
Come out where lam.
There was a... There was a...
There's a bunker... up there.
It's five guns.
It's five guns.
That strongpoint up there,somewhere up there around those rocks,
is the key to this ridge.
Bell here is quite right.
From their knob up there, those little brownbrothers can cover the whole ofthe ground
in front ofthis position for 1,000 yards.They've left this ledge unguarded.
Now, goddamn it, that's a mistake.That's a hell of a mistake.
We need to take advantage of itbefore they see their error.
All right, all right,I know you're all pretty exhausted,
and we've had a hell of a timegetting water up here.
For that I'm sorry. I apologise to you all.
But ifwe can reduce this bunker tomorrow,I think we can take this ridge.
So I'm asking for volunteers.
Go back up there and knock it out.
Sir?
I'll be glad to go back up
- and lead the way back for a party.- Right.
- I'll go, sir.- You.
All right.
- I'd like to lead the party, Colonel.- All right, John. I was hoping you'd say that.
- You'll be in command.- I'll go, sir.
- Sir?- You.
All right, men, that's enough.Seven is plenty. Gather up.
I don't know ifyou realise the importanceof this operation, Staros.
Once our position is secured,we can move the bombers in.
That means air powerfor 1,000 miles in every direction.
Guadalcanal may bethe turning point in the war.
- It'll cost lives. Is that what's troubling you?- No, sir.
I explained to youthe importance ofthis objective.
How many men do you think it's worth?How many lives?
I can't say, sir.
Are you prepared to sacrifice the livesof any ofyour men in this campaign?
How many? One? Two?
Twenty?
Lives will be lost in your company, Captain.
And ifyou don't have the stomach for it,now is the time to let me know.
No, sir. You're right...about everything you said.
Fine, fine.
That's all, Captain.
One more thing, Staros.
It's not necessary for youto ever tell me that you think I'm right.
Ever.
We'll assume it.
Dismissed.
I feel sorry for you, kid.
- Yeah?- Yeah, a little.
This army's gonna kill you.
If you were smart, you'd take care ofyourself.There's nothing you can do for anybody else.
You're just running into a burning housewhere nobody can be saved.
What difference do you think you can make?One single man in all this madness.
If you die, it's gonna be for nothing.
There's not some other world out therewhere everything's gonna be OK.
There's just this one.
Just this rock.
Go ahead! Come on, come on.
Who's deciding who's gonna live?
Who's deciding who's gonna die?
This is futile!
Look at me!I stand right up here and not one bullet.
Not one shot!
Why?
How come they all had to die?
I can stand right here, I can stand right upand nothing happens to me!
We.
We together.
One being.
Flow together like water,
till I can't tell you from me.
I drink you.
Now.
Now.
You're my light.
My guide.
John, I'll be behind you.If you wanna break through, we'll come after.
We'll charge at your whistle signal.
All right, let's go, men. Go get 'em.
OK.
Stay down, below this ledge,
and I'll call down the data from above.
Once the 81s have plastered that rock...as much as possible,
we're gonna crawl outalong that big rock for cover
and then flank 'em to the right.
OK?
OK. OK.
Azimuth 1470... from Easy Roger 7.
Uncle Baker 1, fire mission.
Azimuth 1470 from Easy Roger 7.
Left 100, add 200.
Machine gun. Will adjust. Over.
Understand. 1470 from EasyRoger 7.
Left 25, drop 50!
Left 25, Uncle Baker 1.
Left 25, drop 50.
Fire for effect. Over.
Roger, Uncle Baker 1.
Let's go!
OK, we're gonna continue onup the hill to the right.
Nobody fire or throw the grenadestill I give the signal.
OK, let's do it.
Is he OK? ls he all right?
What we gonna do? Can't take him with us.
- No, we can't leave him here.- He's from your platoon. You stay with him.
We can leave him and pick him upon the way back,... if he's still alive.
- Is he dead?- Not yet.
Dale, stay with him!Cover our flank! Move!
Behind you!
We're pinned down!
Fall back!
Go!
Watch out.
Clear!
Come on. Get out.
Go on.
Think you're soldiers?
You piece of shit!
Son of a bitch!
Son of a bitch!
All right?
I shot a man.
Stinks around here.
- All these dead people.- Put a cigarette up your nose.
Look at 'em move!
Look at 'em move!
We got 'em on the run!
Way to go, John. When they saw youmake that attack and win,
you put their hearts back into them.
- Hey, hey!- Don't do that, soldier.
Take care ofthe others. G-2 will want them.There'll be somebody around before long.
We've wasted enough time here. Let's go.
Sir, I've a few recommendationsfor decorations.
Yes. We'll get everything for all of 'emthat we can, but later.
Meantime, I want you to know I'm personallyrecommending you for something, John.
Perhaps the big one.
- Thank you, sir, but I don't feel...- Yes, you do, John.
Getting it for youwill be the goddamn problem!
But, hell, it'd be a big thing for the battalionand the regiment, ifyou did get it.
We better move out.
We need to extend our lines, hook up withthe other companies and push on to the top.
Would you like to take commandof Baker Company?
Of course.
Sir, I don't mean to be a wet blanket,but about the water. Ifwe don't get water...
Don't worry about water.
John, I don't want anything to break up thisattack of ours now we have the momentum.
We'll have some water in a... couple of hours.
I've arranged for that.
Now, we just can't stop now, goddamn it,and wait for it.
No, sir.
That's right.
And if some ofthe men... pass out,why, hell, they'll just have to pass out.
All right.
They could...
- They could die from it.- They could die from enemy fire, too!
They're all tough boys.
Come on, men, let's go! You'll seeplenty more ofthose where we're going!
Are we going up this hill or aren't we?
John, I'm convinced thatthe Japanese position can be broken now.
All we have to do is keep going and we'llhave this hill. We'll have this hill by sundown.
You see the spirit in these men?D'you see the new spirit?
Well, I want to take advantage ofthat beforesomething happens to sap their strength.
To have this battalion relieved in a defeat,
or even to have it reinforcedfrom troops from the reserves,
if we were to stallbefore reaching the top, well,
Jesus Christ, that's justa hell of a lot more than I could stand!
I've waited all my life for this.
I've worked, slaved, eaten... oh, untoldbuckets of shit to have this opportunity!
And I don't intend to give it up now.
You don't know what it feels liketo be passed over.
I mean, you're young.You're just out ofthe Academy.
You're, you know, you've got your war!This 15 years, this is my first war!
John, some day you'll understand.
You're like a son to me, John.
You know what my son does?
He's a bait salesman.
You've done a hell of ajob, John.
I'm gonna make sure that you get everything,everything that you deserve.
Thank you, sir.
God...
Goddamn it! I want three runners!
Get me three runners!
You go back to the rear to find water
and get back here with it as fast as you can!
We attack in one hour!We'll throw everything we got at 'em.
We're going all the way! Nothing'll stop us.
It's high ground by nightfall!
You seen many dead people?
Plenty.
They're no different than dead dogs,
once you get used to the idea.
They're meat, kid.
Are you righteous? Kind?
Does your confiidence lie in this?
Are you lovedbyall?
Know thatl was, too.
Do you imagine your sufferings will be lessbecause you loved goodness?
Truth?
Get fucking on the ground!Get down! Get down!
Get down. Stay there.
Get on the ground!Get on the fucking ground!
Now!
This great evil.
Where's it come from?
How'd it steal into the world?
What seed, what root did it grow from?
Who's doing this?
Who's killing us?
Robbing us of life and light.
Mocking us with the sightof what we might have known.
Does our ruin benefit the Earth?
Does it help the grass to growor the sun to shine?
Is this darkness in you, too?
Have you passed through this night?
I'm gonna sink my teeth into your liver.
You're dying.
See them birds up there?
You know they eat you raw?
Where you're going,you're not coming back from.
What are you to me?
Nothing.
Have a seat here.
Staros, I'm relieving you ofyour command.
Lieutenant Band will take over for you.
I already told him.
It's a hard thing to do.
Difficult decision to make.
I don't think you're tough enough.
You're too soft. You're just too softhearted.You're not tough-fibred enough.
Anyway, it's my decision to make.I've already made it.
I don't like to see my men get killed, sir.
Have you ever had anyonedie in your arms, sir?
Have you?
I don't see any reasonto make a scandal out ofthis.
I don't want it in the records ofthe battalion.There's no reason for you to have it on yours.
This has nothing to do withcowardice or inefficiency.
Look at this jungle.
Look at those vines, the way they twinearound the trees, swallowing everything.
Nature's cruel, Staros.
I'm going to let you apply for reassignmentto the Judge Advocate General Corps
for reasons of ill health.
You're a lawyer.
- You had malaria yet?- No, I haven't.
Doesn't matter. I can fix that.
Anyway, you probably will have it.
I'm also recommending youfor the Silver Star.
And I'll recommend it in such a wayit definitely won't be refused.
Might as well have the Purple Heart, too.
Why?
Because of that scratch on your faceand because of those cuts on your hands.
Listen to me, Staros.
I think it's best you go back withthe next batch of wounded and prisoners.
It is no goddamn good for youto keep hanging around.
The quieter we keep this,the better it'll be for all.
This is from Colonel Tall.
"Our victory gives usthe highest reasons for pride."
"lt will prove a milestonein the battle for Guadalcanal."
"Tomorrow the division commanderwill arrive to make an inspection ofthe line."
"After the inspection we're to be relieved by abattalion of the division's reserve regiment."
"l've secured for the battaliona week's rest offthe line."
That's all.
Hours like months.
Days like years.
Walked into the golden age.
Stood on the shores ofthe New World.
I would've come byand paid you guys a visit,
but...
I just felt like being alone, you know?
Yeah?
We wanted to thank you, sir.
For asking to make that flanking move.
For watching out for us.
Keeping us together.
We're all sorry to see you go.
We feel like you got a rotten deal.
Well, I'm not sure that you're right.
Tough part is...
not knowing ifyou're doing any good.
That's the hard part.
But it doesn't matter. I don't care.
I'm glad to be going.
I'm glad.
- There's still time. We could file a complaint.- For what?
What good would that do?
Anyway, I wanna go.
Leave it alone. Let it lay.
What does that mean, sir?
It means "You've been like my sons".
You are mysons.
My dearsons.
You live inside me now.
I'll carryyou whereverlgo.
Can't nothing make you forgetit.
Each time you startfrom scratch.
War don't ennoble men.
It turns 'em into dogs.
Poisons the soul.
My dear wife,
you get something twisted out of yourinsides byall this blood, filth, and noise.
I wanna stay changeless foryou.
I wanna come back to youthe man I was before.
How do we get to those othershores?
To those blue hills.
Love.
Where does it come from?
Who lit this flame in us?
No war can put it out,
conquer it.
I was a prisoner.
You setme free.
No matter how much training you got,
how careful you are,
it's a matter of luckwhether or not you get killed.
Makes no difference who you are,or how tough a guy you might be,
if you're in the wrong spotat the wrong time, you're gonna get it.
I look at that boy dying,
I don't feel nothing.
I don't care about nothing any more.
Sounds like bliss.
I don't have that feeling yet.
That numbness.
Not like the rest of you guys.
Maybe cos I knew what to expect.
Maybe I was just frozen up already.
I haven't touched another womansince I was called up.
Or talked to one.
I don't wanna...
I don't wanna feel the desire.
All right. Abrahams!
Abrahams. Here you go.
Stack! Where's Stack?
Bring him out.
Bell?
Bell!
Another one for Bell. Another one for Bell.
Dear Jack,
I've met an AirForce captain.I've fallen in love with him.
I wanta divorce to marryhim.
I know you can say no,but I'm asking you anyway,
out of the memory of what we had together.
Forgive me.
It just got too lonely, Jack.
We'll meet again some day.
People who have been as close as we've beenalways meetagain.
I have no right to speak to you this way.
I can'tstop myself.
A habitso strong.
Oh, my friend of all those shining years.
Help me leave you!
What's your name?
We were a family.
How'd it break up and come apart?
So that now we're turned against each other.
Each standing in the other's light.
How did we lose the good that was given us?
Let itslip away?
Scatter it careless?
What's keeping us from reaching out?
Touching the glory?
I'd have had you, Witt, ifyou was a Jap,
Iong ago.
They leave you here?
Yup.
I slowed 'em up.
Don't mind, really.
The medic fixed me up pretty good.
I got plenty of ammo.
Somebody'll be along for me eventually.
- They got you good.- Right in the knee.
Yeah.
I'm out ofthis war for good, Witt.
- What you doin' down here?- Just, you know,
I'm heading back to the company.
Yeah.
Well, you give all them boys my best.
You can come with me if you want.
I'll help you along.
No, it's nice and quiet.
Peaceful up here.
I'd just slow you up.There'll be somebody along.
I'll remind 'em.
OK.
Hey, Witt.
Who you making trouble for today?
What d'you mean?
Well, isn't that what you like to do?
Turn left when they say go right?
Why are you such a troublemaker, Witt?
You care about me, don't you, Sergeant?
I always felt like you did.
Why do you alwaysmake yourself out like a rock?
One day I can come up and talk to you,
by the next day it's like we never even met.
Lonely house now.
You ever get lonely?
Only around people.
Only around people.
You still believing in the beautiful light,are you?
How do you do that?
You're a magician to me.
I still see a spark in you.
One man looks ata dying birdandthinks there's nothing but unansweredpain.
But death's got the fiinal word.
It's laughing athim.
Another man sees thatsame bird,
feels the glory.
Feels something smiling through him.
We need to get out of here right now.
- You explain to... headquarters the situation?- No.
Do they know where we are?Cos we're sitting ducks out here.
Well, I think that's...up to me to judge, Sergeant.
I think we just need to send somebodyup there and find out how close they are. OK?
It's easy.
Hey, Weld...get headquarters on that thing.
The fire's coming closer, sir.
Line's cut!
We need to send somebody out thereto find out where that line is being cut.
And we need to find out how close they are.
Come on.
OK. OK.
Hey, you.
You go.
You're going, Fife.
Coombs. You go, too.
Come on!
I'll go. I want you to knowI think the whole thing's a bad idea, though.
If they come down here in any strength,Lieutenant, they'll knock our position to hell.
You don't have to go. Others'll volunteer.
No, I wanna go, sir. In casesomething bad happens, I wanna be there.
All right. You stay by the river.
That jungle's too thick. And be very careful.
I will.
Good luck, Witt.
You OK, Fife?
A reinforce battalion.
We need to go back.
Tell the lieutenant.
Let's go.
I'm hit!
One of us needs to stay here and hold 'em off.
We'll be all right.
My friend here doesn't have long,
so... you go.
You go on ahead.
Witt!
They're coming.
I gotta go. I don't want you to be afraid.
Just hide out here till you hear firing,then push on down the river.
No.
- Where's Coombs?- Get back. Get back, they're coming.
Fall back.
Where's Witt? Fife, where's Witt?
Fife, where's Witt?
Fife. Fife, where's Witt?
America.
Where's your spark now?
Now, I know you men have beenmaking and drinking this goddamn swipe.
That's OK by me.
Everything a lie.
Any man in my outfitcan get as drunk as he wants to every night.
Everything you hearandsee.
As long as he's in shape to make reveilleand carry out any assignment given.
If he can't do that,he's gonna have trouble from me.
- So much to spew out.- I prefer to think of myself as a family man,
and that's what we all are here,whether we like it or not.
We are a family.
I'm the father.
Guess that makesSergeant Welsh here the mother.
Theyjustkeep coming, one afteranother.
That makes you all the children in this family.
Now, a family can have only one head,and that is the father.
Father's the head, mother runs it.That's the way it's gonna work here.
- If any ofyou wanna see me about anything,- You're in a box.
- anything at all,- A moving box.
you will find that I am available.
This war is not gonna be overby next Christmas.
It's gonna be a long timebefore we get home...
They wantyou dead.
Or in theirlie.
Only one thing a man can do.
Find something that's his.
Make an islandforhimself.
Iflnevermeetyou in this life,
Iet me feel the lack.
A glance from your eyes,and mylife willbe yours.
Somethin' I can come back to.Some kind offoundation.
I mean, I don't know what, you know,what your plans are, but...
I'm determined now.I've been through the thick and thin of it.
You know, I may be young,but I've lived plenty of life.
I'm ready to start living it good.
You know, my daddy always told me it'sgonna get a lot worse before it gets better.
You know, cos life ain't supposed to bethat hard when you're young.
Well, I figure after thisthe worst is gonna be gone.
It's time for things to get better.That's what I want.
That's what's gonna happen.
I'm getting older now.
By no means old, but older.
Where is it that we were together?
Who were you thatllived with?
Walked with?
The brother.
The friend.
Darkness from light.
Strife from love.
Are they the workings ofone mind?
The features ofthe same face?
Oh, mysoul,
Iet me be in you now.
Look out through my eyes.
Look outat the things you made.
All things shining.

Matrix, The (1999) Movie Script

-Is everything in place?
- You weren 't supposed to relieve me.
I know, but I felt like taking a shift.
You like him, don 't you?
You like watching him.
-Don 't be ridiculous.
- We 're gonna kill him. You understand?
Morpheus believes he is the One.
-Do you?
-It doesn 't matter what I believe.
You don 't, do you?
-Did you hear that?
-Hear what?
Are you sure this line is clean?
Yeah, of course I'm sure.
I better go.
-Freeze! Police!
-Hands on your head!
Do it! Do it now!
Lieutenant.
Oh, shit.
Lieutenant, you were given
specific orders.
I'm just doing my job.
You give me that "juris-my-dick-tion"
crap, you can cram it up your ass.
The orders were for your protection.
I think we can handle one little girl.
I sent two units!
They're bringing her down now!
No, Lieutenant, your men
are already dead.
Shit.
Morpheus, the line was traced.
I don't know how.
I know. They cut the hard line.
There 's no time.
Get to another exit.
-Are there any agents?
- Yes.
Goddamn it.
You have to focus, Trinity.
There 's a phone at Wells and Lake.
You can make it.
-All right.
-Go.
That's impossible.
Get up, T rinity.
Just get up.
Get up.
She got out.
It doesn't matter.
The informant is real.
We have the name of their next target.
The name is Neo.
We'll need a search running.
It has already begun.
What?
What the hell?
"Follow the white rabbit. "
Who is it?
It's Choi.
You're two hours late.
I know. It's her fault.
You got the money?
Two grand.
Hold on.
Hallelujah.
You're my savior.
My own personal Jesus Christ.
You get caught using that....
I know. This never happened.
You don't exist.
-Right.
-Something wrong, man?
You look a little whiter than usual.
My computer, it....
Ever have that feeling where you're
not sure if you're awake or dreaming?
All the time.
It's called mescaline.
It's the only way to fly.
It just sounds like you
need to unplug.
Get some R and R?
What do you think, Dujour?
Should we take him with us?
Definitely.
No, I can't. I have work tomorrow.
Come on.
It'll be fun. I promise.
Yeah.
Sure. I'll go.
Hello, Neo.
-How do you know that name?
-I know a lot about you.
-Who are you?
-My name is Trinity.
Trinity.
The Trinity?
That cracked the lRS D-base?
That was a long time ago.
-Jesus.
-What?
I just thought...
...you were a guy.
Most guys do.
That was you on my computer.
How did you do that?
Right now, all I can tell you...
...is that you're in danger.
-I brought you here to warn you.
-Of what?
They're watching you, Neo.
-Who is?
-Please just listen.
I know why you're here, Neo.
I know what you've been doing.
I know why you hardly sleep...
...why you live alone and why,
night after night...
...you sit at your computer.
You're looking for him.
I know, because I was once
looking for the same thing.
And when he found me...
...he told me I wasn't really
looking for him...
...I was looking for an answer.
It's the question that drives us, Neo.
It's the question
that brought you here.
You know the question...
...just as I did.
What is the Matrix?
The answer is out there, Neo.
It's looking for you.
And it will find you...
...if you want it to.
Shit.
Shit, shit.
You have a problem with authority,
Mr. Anderson.
You believe that you are special,
that the rules do not apply to you.
Obviously, you are mistaken.
This is one of the top
software companies in the world...
...because employees understand
they are part of a whole.
Thus, if an employee has a problem,
the company has a problem.
The time has come to make
a choice, Mr. Anderson.
Either you choose to be at your desk
on time from this day forth...
...or you choose to find another job.
Do I make myself clear?
Yes, Mr. Rhineheart.
Perfectly clear.
Thomas Anderson?
Yeah, that's me.
Great.
Have a nice day.
Hello, Neo. Do you know who this is?
-Morpheus.
- Yes.
I've been looking for you.
I don 't know if you 're ready to see
what I want to show you.
But unfortunately, you and I
have run out of time.
They're coming for you, and I don 't know
what they're going to do.
Who's coming for me?
Stand up and see for yourself.
-What? Right now?
- Yes.
Now.
Do it slowly.
The elevator.
Oh, shit!
What do they want?
I don 't know. If you don 't want
to find out, get out of there.
How?
I can guide you,
but you must do exactly as I say.
The cubicle across from you is empty.
-But what if they--
-Go. Now.
Stay here for just a moment.
When I tell you,
go to the end of the row...
... to the office
at the end of the hall.
Stay as low as you can.
Go. Now.
Good. Now, outside
there is a scaffold.
-How do you know this?
- We don 't have time.
To your left there 's a window.
Go to it.
Open it.
Take the scaffold to the roof.
No way! No way!
This is crazy!
There are two ways
out of this building.
One is that scaffold.
The other is in their custody.
You take a chance either way.
I leave it to you.
This is insane!
Why is this happening to me?
What'd I do?
I' m nobody.
I didn't do anything.
I' m gonna die.
Shit!
Oh, shit!
I can't do this.
Shit.
As you can see, we've had our eye
on you for some time now, Mr. Anderson.
It seems that you've been living...
...two lives.
In one life,
you're Thomas A. Anderson...
...program writer for
a respectable software company.
You have a social security number.
You pay your taxes.
And you...
...help your landlady
carry out her garbage.
The other life is lived in computers...
...where you go by
the hacker alias "Neo"...
...and are guilty of virtually every
computer crime we have a law for.
One of these lives...
...has a future.
And one of them does not.
I'm going to be as forthcoming
as I can be, Mr. Anderson.
You're here...
...because we need your help.
We know that you've been contacted
by a certain...
...individual.
A man who calls himself "Morpheus. "
Whatever you think you know
about this man is irrelevant.
He is considered by many authorities...
...to be the most dangerous man alive.
My colleagues...
...believe that I am wasting
my time with you.
But I believe you wish
to do the right thing.
We're willing to wipe the slate clean...
...give you a fresh start.
All we're asking in return
is your cooperation...
...in bringing
a known terrorist to justice.
Yeah.
That sounds like a really good deal.
But I got a better one.
How about...
...I give you the finger...
...and you give me my phone call.
Mr. Anderson...
...you disappoint me.
You can't scare me
with this gestapo crap.
I know my rights.
I want my phone call.
Tell me, Mr. Anderson...
...what good is a phone call...
...if you're unable to speak?
You're going to help us,
Mr. Anderson...
...whether you want to or not.
This line is tapped,
so I must be brief.
They got to you first, but they've
underestimated how important you are.
If they knew what I know...
... you would probably be dead.
What are you talking about?
What is happening to me?
You are the One, Neo. You may have
spent the last few years...
...Iooking for me, but I've spent
my entire life...
...Iooking for you.
Now, do you still want to meet?
-Y es.
- Then go to the Adams Street bridge.
Get in.
-What's this?
-It's necessary, Neo. For our protection.
-From what?
-From you.
T ake off your shirt.
Stop the car.
Listen, coppertop.
We don't have time for 20 Questions.
Right now, there's only one rule:
Our way...
...or the highway.
Fine.
Please, Neo, you have to trust me.
-Why?
-Because you have been down there.
You know that road.
You know exactly where it ends.
And I know that's
not where you want to be.
Apoc, lights.
Lie back.
Lift up your shirt.
-What's that?
-You're bugged.
Try and relax.
Come on.
Come on.
It's on the move.
Come on, you shit.
-You're gonna lose it.
-No, I'm not.
Clear!
Jesus Christ!
That thing's real?!
This is it.
Let me give you one piece of advice.
Be honest.
He knows more than you can imagine.
At last.
Welcome, Neo.
As you no doubt have guessed...
...I am Morpheus.
It's an honor to meet you.
No...
...the honor is mine.
Please, come. Sit.
I imagine...
...that right now you're feeling
a bit like Alice...
...tumbling down the rabbit hole?
You could say that.
I can see it in your eyes.
You have the look of a man
who accepts what he sees...
...because he's expecting to wake up.
Ironically, this is not
far from the truth.
Do you believe in fate, Neo?
-No.
-Why not?
I don't like the idea that
I'm not in control of my life.
I know exactly what you mean.
Let me tell you why you're here.
You know something.
What you know,
you can't explain.
But you feel it.
You felt it your entire life.
Something's wrong with the world.
You don't know what, but it's there.
Like a splinter in your mind...
...driving you mad.
It is this feeling
that has brought you to me.
Do you know what
I'm talking about?
The Matrix?
Do you want to know...
...what it is?
The Matrix is everywhere.
It is all around us.
Even now, in this very room.
You can see it when you
look out your window...
...or when you turn on your television.
You can feel it when you go to work...
...when you go to church...
...when you pay your taxes.
It is the world that has been
pulled over your eyes...
...to blind you from the truth.
What truth?
That you are a slave.
Like everyone else,
you were born into bondage...
... born into a prison that you cannot
smell or taste or touch.
A prison...
...for your mind.
Unfortunately, no one can be...
...told what the Matrix is.
You have to see it for yourself.
This is your last chance.
After this, there is no turning back.
You take the blue pill...
...the story ends, you wake up
in your bed and believe...
...whatever you want to believe.
You take the red pill...
...you stay in Wonderland...
...and I show you how deep
the rabbit hole goes.
Remember...
...all I'm offering is the truth.
Nothing more.
Follow me.
Apoc, are we on-line?
Almost.
Time is always against us.
Please take a seat there.
You did all this?
The pill you took is
part of a trace program.
It disrupts your carrier signals
so we can pinpoint your location.
What does that mean?
It means buckle your
seat belt, Dorothy...
...because Kansas...
...is going bye-bye.
Did you...?
Have you ever had a dream, Neo,
that you were so sure was real?
What if you were unable
to wake from that dream?
How would you know the difference
between the dream world...
...and the real world?
-This can't be.
-Be what?
Be real?
Going into replication.
-Still nothing.
-It's cold.
It's cold!
Tank, we'll need a signal soon.
-I got a fibrillation.
-Apoc, location.
Targeting almost there.
He's going into arrest.
-Lock. I got him!
-Now, Tank, now!
Welcome...
...to the real world.
We've done it, Trinity.
We found him.
-I hope you're right.
-I don't have to hope.
I know it.
Am I dead?
Far from it.
He still needs a lot of work.
What are you doing?
Your muscles atrophied.
We're rebuilding them.
Why do my eyes hurt?
You've never used them before.
Rest, Neo. The answers are coming.
Morpheus, what's happened to me?
-What is this place?
-More important than "what" is "when. "
-When?
-You believe it's the year 1 999...
...when in fact, it's closer to 21 99.
I can't tell you exactly
what year it is...
...because we honestly don't know.
There's nothing I can say
that will explain it for you.
Come with me.
See for yourself.
This is my ship.
The Nebuchadnezzar.
It's a hovercraft.
This is the main deck.
This is the core...
...where we broadcast our pirate signal
and hack into the Matrix.
Most of my crew you already know.
This is Apoc...
...Switch...
...and Cypher.
The ones you don't know:
Tank and his big brother, Dozer.
The little one behind you is Mouse.
You wanted to know
what the Matrix is?
Trinity.
Try to relax.
This will feel a little weird.
This...
...is the Construct.
It's our loading program.
We can load anything, from clothing...
...to equipment...
...weapons...
...training simulations...
...anything we need.
Right now we're inside
a computer program?
Is it really so hard to believe?
Your clothes are different.
The plugs in your body are gone.
Your hair has changed.
Your appearance now is what we call
"residual self-image. "
It is the mental projection
of your digital self.
This isn't real?
What is "real"?
How do you define "real"?
If you're talking about
what you can feel...
...what you can smell, taste and see...
...then "real" is simply electrical
signals interpreted by your brain.
This is the world that you know.
The world as it was at the end
of the 20th century.
It exists now only as part of
a neural-interactive simulation...
...that we call the Matrix.
You've been living
in a dream world, Neo.
This is the world...
...as it exists today.
Welcome to "the desert...
...of the real. "
We have only bits and pieces
of information.
But what we know for certain
is that in the early 21 st century...
...all of mankind was united
in celebration.
We marveled at our own magnificence
as we gave birth to Al.
Al.
You mean artificial intelligence.
A singular consciousness that spawned
an entire race of machines.
We don't know who struck first,
us or them.
But we know that it was us
that scorched the sky.
They were dependent on solar power...
...and it was believed that
they would be unable to survive...
...without an energy source
as abundant as the sun.
Throughout human history, we have been
dependent on machines to survive.
Fate, it seems, is not
without a sense of irony.
The human body generates more
bioelectricity than a 1 20-volt battery.
And over 25,000 BTUs of body heat.
Combined with a form of fusion...
...the machines had found all the energy
they would ever need.
There are fields, Neo,
endless fields...
...where human beings
are no longer born.
We are grown.
For the longest time,
I wouldn't believe it.
And then I saw the fields
with my own eyes...
...watched them liquefy the dead...
...so they could be fed intravenously
to the living.
And standing there,
facing the pure, horrifying precision...
...I came to realize
the obviousness of the truth.
What is the Matrix?
Control.
The Matrix is a computer-generated
dream world...
... built to keep us under control...
...in order to change a human being...
...into this.
No.
I don't believe it.
It's not possible.
I didn't say it would be easy, Neo.
I just said it would be the truth.
Stop!
Let me out!
Let me out! I want out!
-Easy, Neo. Easy.
-Get this thing out of me.
Get this thing out of me!
Don't touch me!
Stay away from me!
I don't believe it.
I don't believe it.
I don't believe it.
-He's gonna pop.
-Breathe, Neo. Just breathe.
I can't go back, can l?
No.
But if you could...
...would you really want to?
I owe you an apology.
We have a rule.
We never free a mind
once it's reached a certain age.
It's dangerous.
The mind has trouble letting go.
I've seen it before, and I'm sorry.
I did what I did because...
...I had to.
When the Matrix was first built,
there was a man born inside...
...who had the ability
to change whatever he wanted...
...to remake the Matrix as he saw fit.
It was he who freed the first of us...
...taught us the truth.
As long as the Matrix exists...
...the human race will never be free.
After he died...
...the Oracle prophesied his return...
...and that his coming would hail
the destruction of the Matrix...
...end the war...
...bring freedom to our people.
That is why there are those of us who
spent our lives searching the Matrix...
...Iooking for him.
I did what I did because...
...I believe that search is over.
Get some rest.
You're going to need it.
For what?
Your training.
Morning. Did you sleep?
You will tonight.
I guarantee it.
I'm Tank. I'll be your operator.
-You don't have any--
-Holes? Nope.
Me and my brother, Dozer, are 1 00% pure,
old-fashioned, homegrown human.
Born free right here...
...in the real world.
Genuine child of Zion.
-Zion?
-lf the war was over tomorrow...
...Zion's where the party would be.
It's a city?
The last human city.
The only place we have left.
Where is it?
Deep underground...
...near the Earth's core,
where it's still warm.
You live long enough,
you might see it.
Goddamn! I gotta tell you, I'm excited
to see what you're capable of...
...if Morpheus is right and all.
We're not supposed to
talk about this, but...
...if you are...
...it's a very exciting time.
We got a lot to do.
We gotta get to it.
We're supposed to start
with these programs first.
That's major boring shit.
Let's do something more fun.
How about...
...combat training?
"Jujitsu"?
I'm going to learn jujitsu?
Holy shit!
"Hey, Mikey, I think he likes it. "
How about some more?
Hell, yes.
Hell, yeah.
How is he?
Ten hours straight.
He's a machine.
I know kung fu.
Show me.
This is a sparring program...
...similar to the programmed reality
of the Matrix.
It has the same basic rules.
Like gravity.
These rules are no different
than those of a computer system.
Some of them can be bent.
Others can be broken.
Understand?
Then hit me, if you can.
Good!
Adaptation.
Improvisation.
But your weakness...
...is not your technique.
Morpheus is fighting Neo.
How did I beat you?
You're too fast.
Do you believe that...
...my being stronger or faster...
...has anything to do
with my muscles in this place?
You think you're breathing air?
Again!
Jesus Christ, he's fast!
His neuro-kinetics
are way above normal.
What are you waiting for?
You're faster than this.
Don't think you are.
Know you are.
Come on! Stop trying to hit me,
and hit me!
I don't believe it.
I know what you're trying to do.
I'm trying to free your mind, Neo.
But I can only show you the door.
You have to walk through it.
Tank, load the jump program.
You have to let it all go, Neo.
Fear...
...doubt and disbelief.
Free your mind.
Okey-dokey.
Free my mind.
What if he makes it?
-No one's ever made their first jump.
-I know.
-But what if he does?
-He won't.
Come on.
All right.
No problem. Free my mind.
Free my mind. No problem. Right.
What does that mean?
It doesn't mean anything.
Everybody falls the first time.
Right, Trin?
-I thought it wasn't real.
-Your mind makes it real.
If you're killed in the Matrix...
...you die here?
The body cannot live without the mind.
I don't remember you ever
bringing me dinner.
There is something about him,
isn't there?
You're a believer now?
I keep wondering...
...if Morpheus is so sure,
why not take him to see the Oracle?
Morpheus will take him
when he's ready.
The Matrix is a system, Neo.
That system is our enemy.
But when you're inside,
what do you see?
Businessmen, teachers,
lawyers, carpenters.
The very minds of the people
we are trying to save.
But until we do, these people are
a part of that system...
...and that makes them our enemy.
You have to understand...
... most of these people are not
ready to be unplugged.
And many of them are so inert...
...so hopelessly dependent
on the system...
...that they will fight to protect it.
Were you listening to me or looking
at the woman in the red dress?
Look again.
Freeze it.
This isn't the Matrix?
It's another training program
designed to teach you one thing:
If you are not one of us,
you are one of them.
-What are they?
-Sentient programs.
They can move in and out of any software
still hardwired to their system.
That means that anyone
we haven't unplugged...
...is potentially an agent.
Inside the Matrix...
...they are everyone...
...and they are no one.
We have survived by hiding
and running from them...
...but they are the gatekeepers.
They're guarding all the doors
and holding all the keys.
Sooner or later, someone will
have to fight them.
Someone?
I won't lie to you, Neo.
Every single man or woman who
has fought an agent has died.
But where they have failed,
you will succeed.
Why?
I've seen an agent punch
through a concrete wall.
Men have emptied entire clips at them
and hit nothing but air.
Yet their strength and speed are still
based in a world built on rules.
Because of that...
...they will never be as strong
or as fast as you can be.
What are you telling me?
That I can dodge bullets?
No, Neo.
I'm trying to tell you
that when you're ready...
...you won't have to.
We got trouble.
-Did Zion send the warning?
-No, another ship.
Shit.
-Squiddy's sweeping in quick.
-Squiddy?
A sentinel. A killing machine
designed for one thing.
Search and destroy.
Set her down there.
How are we doing, Tank?
Power off-line.
EMP armed...
-...and ready.
-EMP?
Electromagnetic pulse.
Disables any electrical system
in the blast radius.
It's the only weapon we have
against the machines.
-Where are we?
-Their old service and waste systems.
Sewers.
There used to be cities
that spanned hundreds of miles.
Now these sewers are
all that's left.
Quiet.
You scared the bejesus out of me.
-Sorry.
-It's okay.
-ls that...?
-The Matrix?
-Do you always look at it encoded?
-Well, you have to.
The image translators work
for the construct program.
But there's way too much information
to decode the Matrix.
You get used to it.
I don't even see the code.
All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead.
Do you...
...want a drink?
Sure.
You know...
...I know what you're thinking.
Because right now I'm thinking
the same thing.
Actually, I've been thinking it
ever since I got here.
Why, oh, why didn't I take
the blue pill?
Good shit, huh?
Dozer makes it.
It's good for two things:
Degreasing engines and
killing brain cells.
So can I ask you something?
Did he tell you why he did it?
Why you're here?
Jesus!
What a mind job.
So you're here to save the world.
What do you say
to something like that?
A little piece of advice.
You see an agent...
...you do what we do:
Run.
You run your ass off.
Thanks for the drink.
Sweet dreams.
Do we have a deal, Mr. Reagan?
You know...
...I know this steak doesn't exist.
I know that when I put it
in my mouth...
...the Matrix is telling my brain
that it is...
...juicy...
...and delicious.
After nine years...
...you know what I realize?
Ignorance is bliss.
Then we have a deal.
I don't want to remember nothing.
Nothing. You understand?
And I want to be rich.
You know, someone important.
Like an actor.
Whatever you want, Mr. Reagan.
Okay.
You get my body
back in a power plant...
...reinsert me into the Matrix...
...I'll get you what you want.
Access codes to the Zion mainframe.
No. I told you, I don't know them.
I can get you the man who does.
Morpheus.
Here you go, buddy.
Breakfast of champions.
Close your eyes, it feels
like you're eating runny eggs.
Or a bowl of snot.
You know what it reminds me of?
Tastee Wheat. Did you
ever eat T astee Wheat?
No, but technically,
neither did you.
That's exactly my point. Exactly.
Because you have to wonder...
... how do the machines really know
what T astee Wheat tasted like?
Maybe they got it wrong.
Maybe what I think T astee Wheat
tasted like actually tasted like...
...oatmeal or tuna fish.
That makes you wonder.
T ake chicken, for example.
Maybe they didn't know
what to make it taste like...
...which is why it tastes
like everything.
-And maybe they--
-Shut up.
It's a single-celled protein...
...combined with synthetic aminos,
vitamins and minerals.
Everything the body needs.
It doesn't have everything
the body needs.
I understand you've run through
the agent training program.
You know, I wrote that program.
Here it comes.
-What did you think of her?
-Of who?
The woman in the red dress.
I designed her.
She doesn't talk very much...
...but if you'd like to meet her,
I can arrange a more personal milieu.
The digital pimp hard at work.
Pay no attention to
these hypocrites, Neo.
T o deny our own impulses...
...is to deny the very thing
that makes us human.
Dozer, when you're done...
...bring the ship up to broadcast depth.
We're going in.
I'm taking Neo to see her.
See who?
The Oracle.
Everyone, please observe...
...the "fasten seat belt"
and "no smoking" signs are on.
Sit back and enjoy your flight.
We're in.
We'll be back in an hour.
Unbelievable...
...isn't it?
-God!
-What?
I used to eat there.
Really good noodles.
I have these memories from my life.
None of them happened.
What does that mean?
That the Matrix cannot tell you
who you are.
But an oracle can?
That's different.
Did you go to her?
Yes.
What did she tell you?
She told me....
What?
We're here.
Come with me.
So is this the same oracle
that made...
...the prophecy?
Yes. She's very old. She's been
with us since the beginning.
-The beginning?
-Of the Resistance.
And she knows what? Everything?
She would say she knows enough.
And she's never wrong.
Try not to think of it
in terms of right and wrong.
She is a guide, Neo.
She can help you to find the path.
She helped you?
What did she tell you?
That I would find the One.
I told you I can only
show you the door.
You have to walk through it.
Hello, Neo.
You're right on time.
Make yourself at home, Morpheus.
Neo, come with me.
These are the other Potentials.
You can wait here.
Do not try and bend the spoon.
That's impossible.
Instead, only try
to realize the truth.
What truth?
There is no spoon.
There is no spoon?
Then you'll see that it is not the spoon
that bends. It is only yourself.
The Oracle will you see now.
I know you're Neo.
Be right with you.
-You're the Oracle?
-Bingo.
Not quite what you
were expecting, right?
Almost done.
Smell good, don't they?
I'd ask you to sit down...
...but you're not going to anyway.
-And don't worry about the vase.
-What vase?
That vase.
I'm sorry.
I said, don't worry about it.
I'll get one of my kids to fix it.
How did you know?
What's really going to bake
your noodle later on is...
...would you still have broken it
if I hadn't said anything?
You're cuter than I thought.
I can see why she likes you.
Who?
Not too bright, though.
You know why Morpheus
brought you to see me.
So...
...what do you think?
Do you think you are the One?
I don't know.
You know what that means?
It's Latin.
Means, "Know thyself. "
I'll let you in on a little secret.
Being the One is just
like being in love.
No one can tell you you're in love.
You just know it...
...through and through.
Balls to bones.
Well...
...I'd better have a look at you.
Open your mouth. Say, "Ah. "
Okay....
Now I'm supposed to say,
"Hmm, that's interesting, but.... "
Then you say:
But what?
But you already know
what I'm going to tell you.
-I'm not the One.
-Sorry, kid.
You got the gift...
...but it looks like
you're waiting for something.
-What?
-Your next life, maybe. Who knows?
That's the way these things go.
-What's funny?
-Morpheus.
He almost had me convinced.
I know.
Poor Morpheus.
Without him, we're lost.
What do you mean, "without him"?
Are you sure you want
to hear this?
Morpheus believes in you, Neo.
And no one, not you, not even me...
...can convince him otherwise.
He believes it so blindly...
...that he's going to sacrifice
his life to save yours.
-What?
-You're going to have to make a choice.
In the one hand,
you'll have Morpheus' life.
And in the other hand,
you'll have your own.
One of you is going to die.
Which one will be up to you.
I'm sorry, kiddo. I really am.
You have a good soul.
And I hate giving
good people bad news.
Don't worry about it.
As soon as you
step outside that door...
...you'll start feeling better.
You'll remember you don't believe
in any of this fate crap.
You're in control of your own life.
Remember?
Here...
...take a cookie.
I promise, by the time
you're done eating it...
...you'll feel right as rain.
What was said...
...was for you...
...and for you alone.
They're on the way.
What is that?
Oh, dj vu.
What did you just say?
Nothing.
Just dj vu.
-What did you see?
-What happened?
A black cat went past us...
...then another just like it.
Was it the same cat?
I'm not sure.
Switch, Apoc.
What is it?
A dj vu is usually a glitch in the
Matrix when they change something.
Oh, my God.
Let's go.
They cut the hard line.
It's a trap! Get out!
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
That's what they changed.
We're trapped.
Be calm. Give me your phone.
They'll be able to track it.
We have no choice.
Operator.
Find a structural drawing of
this building. Find it fast.
-Got it!
-I need the main wet-wall.
Eighth floor.
They're on the eighth floor.
Switch, straight ahead.
I hope the Oracle
gave you some good news.
Now left. That's it.
Good.
Where are they?
They' re in the walls.
In the walls!
It's an agent!
You must get Neo out!
He's all that matters!
No, Morpheus! Don't!
Trinity, go!
Go!
-We can't leave him!
-We have to!
Come on!
The great Morpheus.
We meet at last.
And you are?
A Smith.
Agent Smith.
You all look the same to me.
Take him.
-Operator.
-I need an exit, fast.
There was an accident.
Goddamn car accident.
All of a sudden, boom.
Somebody up there still likes me.
I got you.
Just get me out of here fast.
Nearest exit, Franklin and Erie.
An old TV repair shop.
Right.
-Operator.
- Tank, it's me.
Is Morpheus alive?
Is Morpheus alive, T ank?
Yes. They're moving him.
I don 't know where.
-He's alive. We need an exit.
-You' re not far from Cypher.
-Cypher?
-I know.
-I sent him to Franklin and Erie.
-Got it.
Got him.
Where are they?
Making the call.
Good.
You first.
Shit!
I don't know. It just went dead.
Hello, Trinity.
Cypher? Where's T ank?
You know...
...for a long time...
... I thought I was in love with you.
I used to dream about you.
You' re a beautiful woman, T rinity.
Too bad things had to
turn out this way.
You killed them.
-What?
-Oh, God.
I' m tired, T rinity.
I' m tired of this war...
...tired of fighting.
I' m tired of this ship...
...of being cold, of eating
the same goddamn goop every day.
But most of all...
...I'm tired of that jackoff
and all of his bullshit.
Surprise, asshole!
I bet you never saw this coming...
...did you?
God, I wish I could be there...
...when they break you.
I wish I could walk in
just when it happens...
...so right then...
...you'd know it was me.
-You gave them Morpheus.
-He lied to us, Trinity.
He tricked us!
If you had told us the truth...
...we would've told you to shove
that red pill up your ass!
-That is not true, Cypher. He set us free.
- "Free. "
You call this free?
All I do is what he tells me to do.
If I had to choose between
that and the Matrix...
... I choose the Matrix.
The Matrix isn't real.
I disagree, Trinity.
I think the Matrix...
...can be more real than this world.
All I do is pull the plug here.
But there...
... you have to watch Apoc die.
Welcome to the real world.
But you' re out.
- You can 't go back.
-That's what you think.
They'll reinsert my body.
I go back to sleep. When I wake up,
I won 't remember a thing.
By the way...
...if you have anything important
to say to Switch...
-...say it now.
-No, please don't.
Not like this.
Not like this.
T oo late.
Goddamn you, Cypher!
Don't hate me, Trinity.
I'm just a messenger.
And right now,
I'm going to prove it to you.
If Morpheus was right...
...there's no way
I can pull this plug.
If Neo 's the One...
... then there'd have to be...
...some kind of a miracle to stop me.
Right?
I mean, how can he be the One
if he's dead?
You never did answer me before...
...if you bought into
Morpheus ' bullshit.
Come on. All I want
is a little yes or no.
Look into his eyes...
... those big, pretty eyes...
...and tell me...
... yes...
... or no.
Y es.
I don't believe it.
Believe it or not, you piece of shit,
you' re still going to burn!
You first.
You' re hurt.
I'll be all right.
Dozer?
Have you ever stood and stared at it?
Marveled at its beauty...
...its genius?
Billions of people...
...just living out their lives.
Oblivious.
Did you know that the first Matrix...
...was designed to be a perfect
human world where none suffered...
...where everyone would be happy.
It was a disaster.
No one would accept the program.
Entire crops were lost.
Some believe that...
...we lacked the programming language
to describe your perfect world.
But I believe that, as a species...
...human beings define
their reality through misery...
...and suffering.
So the perfect world was a dream...
...that your primitive cerebrum
kept trying to wake up from.
Which is why the Matrix was
redesigned to this.
The peak...
...of your civilization.
I say, "your civilization"...
...because when we started thinking
for you, it became our civilization...
...which is, of course,
what this is all about.
Evolution, Morpheus.
Evolution.
Like the dinosaur.
Look out that window.
You had your time.
The future is our world, Morpheus.
The future is our time.
There could be a problem.
-What are they doing to him?
-They're breaking into his mind.
It's like hacking a computer.
All it takes is time.
How much time?
Depends on the mind.
But eventually, it'll crack...
...and his alpha patterns
will change from this to this.
When it does, he'll tell them
anything they want to know.
What do they want?
The leader of every ship is given codes
to Zion's mainframe computer.
If an agent got the codes
and got into Zion's mainframe...
...they could destroy us.
We can't let that happen.
Zion's more important than me...
...or you...
...or even Morpheus.
There has to be
something we can do.
There is. We pull the plug.
You're going to kill him?
Kill Morpheus?
We don't have a choice.
Never send a human
to do a machine's job.
If the insider has failed...
...they'll sever the connection
as soon as possible, unless--
They're dead. In either case--
We have no choice. Continue as planned.
Deploy the sentinels.
Immediately.
Morpheus, you were more
than a leader to us.
You were a father.
We'll miss you always.
Stop!
I don't believe this is happening.
-Neo, this has to be done.
-Does it?
I don't know.
This can't be just coincidence.
-What are you talking about?
-The Oracle.
She told me this would happen.
She told me that I would
have to make a choice.
What choice?
-What are you doing?
-I'm going in.
-No, you're not.
-I have to.
Neo, Morpheus sacrificed himself
so that we could get you out.
There is no way
that you're going back in.
Morpheus did what he did because
he believed I'm something I'm not.
-What?
-I'm not the One, Trinity.
-The Oracle hit me with that too.
-No, you have to be.
I'm sorry, I'm not.
I'm just another guy.
No, Neo, that's not true.
It can't be true.
Why?
This is loco. They've got Morpheus
in a military-controlled building.
Even if you somehow got inside, those
are agents holding him. Three of them.
I want Morpheus back too, but
what you're talking about is suicide.
That's what it looks like,
but it's not.
I can't explain to you why it's not.
Morpheus believed something, and
he was ready to give his life for it.
I understand that now.
That's why I have to go.
-Why?
-Because I believe in something.
What?
I believe I can bring him back.
-What are you doing?
-Going with you.
-No, you're not.
-"No"?
Let me tell you what I believe.
Morpheus means more to me
than he does to you.
I believe if you are serious about
saving him, you will need my help.
And since I am the ranking officer...
...if you don't like it,
I believe you can go to hell.
Because you aren't going anywhere else.
Tank...
...Ioad us up.
I'd like to share
a revelation that I've had...
...during my time here.
It came to me when I tried
to classify your species...
...and I realized...
...that you're not actually mammals.
Every mammal on this planet...
...instinctively develops an equilibrium
with the surrounding environment.
But you humans do not.
You move to an area
and you multiply...
...and multiply until every
natural resource is consumed.
The only way you can survive...
...is to spread to another area.
There is another organism
on this planet...
...that follows the same pattern.
Do you know what it is?
A virus.
Human beings are a disease.
A cancer of this planet.
You are a plague.
And we are the cure.
Okay, so what do you need?
Besides a miracle.
Guns.
Lots of guns.
No one has ever done
anything like this.
That's why it's going to work.
Why isn't the serum working?
Perhaps we're asking
the wrong questions.
Leave me with him.
Now.
Hold on, Morpheus.
They're coming for you.
They're coming.
Can you hear me, Morpheus?
I'm going to be honest...
...with you.
I...
...hate...
...this place...
...this zoo...
...this prison...
...this reality,
whatever you want to call it.
I can't stand it any longer.
It's the smell.
If there is such a thing.
I feel saturated by it.
I can taste...
...your stink.
And every time I do, I fear that
I have somehow been infected by it.
It's repulsive.
Isn't it?
I must get out of here.
I must get free.
And in this mind is the key.
My key.
Once Zion is destroyed,
there is no need for me to be here.
Do you understand?
I need the codes.
I have to get inside Zion...
...and you have to tell me how.
You're going to tell me...
...or you're going to die.
Please remove any metallic items
you're carrying. Keys, loose change.
Holy shit!
Backup. Send backup.
Freeze!
What were you doing?
He doesn't know.
Know what?
I think they're trying to save him.
There is no spoon.
Find them and destroy them!
I repeat. We're under attack!
Help!
Only human.
Dodge this.
-How did you do that?
-Do what?
You moved like they do.
I've never seen anyone move that fast.
It wasn't fast enough.
Can you fly that thing?
Not yet.
Operator.
I need a pilot program
for a B-212 helicopter.
Hurry.
Let's go.
No.
Morpheus, get up.
Get up, get up.
He's not going to make it.
Got you.
I knew it.
He's the One.
Do you believe it now, Trinity?
The Oracle.
-She told me--
-She told you...
...what you needed to hear.
That's all.
Sooner or later you'll realize,
just as I did...
...there's a difference
between knowing the path...
...and walking the path.
Operator.
-It's good to hear your voice.
-We need an exit.
Got one ready. Subway station,
State and Balboa.
Damn it!
The trace was completed.
-We have their position.
-Sentinels are standing by.
Order the strike.
They're not out yet.
You first, Morpheus.
Neo, I want to tell you something...
...but I'm afraid of
what it could mean if I do.
Everything the Oracle
told me has come true.
Everything but this.
But what?
-What happened?
-An agent.
-Send me back.
-I can't.
Mr. Anderson.
Run, Neo. Run.
What is he doing?
He's beginning to believe.
You're empty.
So are you.
I'm going to enjoy watching you die...
...Mr. Anderson.
Jesus, he's killing him.
You hear that, Mr. Anderson?
That is the sound of inevitability.
It is the sound of your death.
Goodbye, Mr. Anderson.
My name...
...is Neo.
-What happened?
-I don't know. I lost him.
Oh, shit.
Sentinels.
-How long?
-Five, maybe six minutes.
Tank, charge the EMP.
-We can't use that until he's out.
-I know. Don't worry.
He's gonna make it.
Flat or pumps? No, just--
What the shit? That's my phone!
That guy took my phone!
-Got him! He's on the run.
-Mr. Wizard...
...get me out of here!
I got an old exit.
Wabash and Lake.
Oh, shit!
Help! Need a little help!
The door.
The door on your left.
Your other left!
The back door.
Oh, no.
Here they come.
He's going to make it.
The fire escape at the end
of the alley, room 303.
They' re inside.
Hurry, Neo.
It can't be.
Check him.
He's gone.
Goodbye, Mr. Anderson.
I' m not afraid anymore.
The Oracle told me...
...that I'd fall in love with that man.
The man that I love would be the One.
So you see...
...you can't be dead.
You can't be...
...because I love you.
You hear me?
I love you.
Now, get up.
No.
How?
He is the One.
I know you're out there.
I can feel you now.
I know that you're afraid.
You're afraid of us.
You 're afraid of change.
I don 't know the future.
I didn 't come here to tell you
how this is going to end.
I came here to tell you
how it's going to begin.
I'll hang up this phone.
And then I'll show these people
what you don 't want them to see.
I'm going to show them a world...
... without you.
A world without rules and controls,
without borders or boundaries.
A world where anything is possible.
Where we go from there...
...is a choice I leave to you.

institutionalization–The Shawshank Redemption

“These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them,then you get used to them. Enough time passed,get so you depend on them. That’s institutionalizing.”

最近与儿时的朋友聊天,聊起减肥,体重控制与健康。他一句话竟让我无言而对,“体重下降了,血脂下降了也不代表健康。”不知为何,谈话中我竟不知不觉想起《肖申克的救赎》这部电影。十多年前看到电影,每每有新的感悟。

突然想到一个问题,《肖申克的救赎》到底谁是主角,说的是什么一个故事?

主角是像神一样的化身的Andy?他坚毅,渴望自由,永不放弃。他是神不是人,起码不是一个平凡人。我觉得电影的主角是Morgan Freeman,他是一个普通人,他做了错事,他正在接受惩罚,他是肖申克里面唯一有罪的人。他最后也得到了救赎。作为一个重罪的犯人,在肖申克见识多了,他知道institutionalizing的威力。几十年来我们适应了,无法做出改变。我们都是普通人。

“These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them,then you get used to them. Enough time passed,get so you depend on them. That’s institutionalizing.”

电影的老布也知道,在肖申克待了50年,出去一定适应不了,根本无法适应外面的环境。他甚至尝试伤害他人,再犯罪,希望能继续留下。最后,的确无法适应,只能在横梁上留下“brooks was here”。Morgan Freeman饰演的Red,遇到同样的问题,他也在横梁上留下“So was Red”,但他最后终究得到了救赎。

Red收到Andy的一封信,让他有了希望。而最后到了小岛。

“If you’re reading this, you’ve gotten out. And if you’ve come this far, maybe you’re willing to come a little further.You remember the name of the town, don’t you? I could use a good man to help me get my project on wheels. I’ll keep an eye out for you and the chessboard ready. Remember, Red. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. I will be hoping that this letter finds you, and finds you well.”

最后我想说的是,institutionalizing,体制化,我们几十年的习惯,要改变,的确不容易,正是我们的生活习惯导致我们的肥胖。用森米产品是改变的第一步,我相信42天可以改变一个人的习惯,另外,有个适合的营养师也是关键,Red也有Andy的鼓励。“Hope is a good thing!”

Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann

《Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann》

Carlo Karges / Joern-Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen

Im Sturz durch Raum und Zeit

Richtung Unendlichkeit

Fliegen Motten in das Licht

Genau wie du und ich

Irgendwie fängt irgendwann

Irgendwo die Zukunft an

Ich warte nicht mehr lang

Liebe wird aus Mut gemacht

Denk nicht lange nach

Wir fahren auf Feuerrädern

Richtung Zukunft durch die Nacht

Gib mir die Hand

Ich bau dir ein Schloss aus Sand

Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann

Die Zeit ist reif für ein bisschen Zärtlichkeit

Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann

Im Sturz durch Zeit und Raum

Erwacht aus einem Traum

Nur ein kurzer Augenblick

Dann kehrt die Nacht zurück

Irgendwie fängt irgendwann

Irgendwo die Zukunft an

Ich warte nicht mehr lang

Liebe wird aus Mut gemacht

Denk nicht lange nach

Wir fahren auf Feuerrädern

Richtung Zukunft durch die Nacht

Gib mir die Hand

Ich bau dir ein Schloss aus Sand

Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann

Die Zeit ist reif für ein bisschen Zärtlichkeit

Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann

Gib mir die Hand

Ich bau dir ein Schloss aus Sand

Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann

Die Zeit ist reif für ein bisschen Zärtlichkeit

Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann

Gib mir die Hand

Ich bau dir ein Schloss aus Sand

Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann

Die Zeit ist reif für ein bisschen Zärtlichkeit

Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann

Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann

Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann

Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann

“Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann” is a 1984 love song by Nena which was a commercial success in Europe. Released initially as single, it’s been also included on Nena’s 1985 album Feuer und Flamme.

第七封日文版:友子、無事に上陸したよ 七日間の航海で、 戦後の荒廃した土地に,ようやくたてたのに、海が懐かしんだ海がどうして、希望と絶望の両端にあるんだ これが最後の手紙だ、あとでだしにいくよ 海にくばわれた僕たちの愛でも、思うだけなら、許されるだろう 友子、僕の思いを受け取っておくれ そうすれば すこしは僕を許すことができるだろう君は一生僕の心の中にいる 結婚して子供ができでも 人生の重要な分岐點にくるたび 君の姿が浮かび上がる 重い荷物をもって家出した君行きかう人ごみの中に、ぽっつんと佇む君 お金をためて やっと買った白いメディアス帽をかぶってきたのは人ごみの中で、君の存在を知らしめるためだったのかい 見えたよ 僕には見えたよ 君は靜かに立っていた 七月のはげしい太陽のようにそれ以上直視するのはできなかった 君はそんなにも、靜かに立っていた 冷靜につとめたこころが一瞬に熱くなっただけど、ぼくは心の痛みを隠し 心の聲を飲み込んだ 僕は、知っている 思慕という低俗の言葉が 太陽の下の影のように 追えばにげ逃げれば追われ 一生 あ、虹だ 虹の両端が海を越え 僕と君を、結びつけてくれますように

友子,我已經平安著陸 七天的航行我終於踩上我戰後殘破的土地 可是我卻開始思念海洋 這海洋為何總是站在 希望和滅絕的兩個極端 這是我的最後一封信 待會我就會把信寄出去這容不下愛情的海洋 至少還容得下相思吧! 友子,我的相思你一定要收到 這樣你才會原諒我一點點 我想我會把你放在我心裡一輩子就算娶妻、生子 在人生重要的轉折點上 一定會浮現… 你提著笨重的行李逃家 在遣返的人潮中,你孤單地站著 你戴著那頂… 存了好久的錢才買來的白色針織帽 是為了讓我能在人群中發現你吧! 我看見了…我看見了… 你安靜不動地站著 舊地址,海角七號…海角?你像七月的烈日 讓我不敢再多看你一眼 你站得如此安靜 我刻意冰涼的心,卻又頓時燃起 我傷心,又不敢讓遺憾流露我心裡嘀咕,嘴巴卻一聲不吭 我知道,思念這庸俗的字眼 將如陽光下的黑影 我逃他追…我追他逃… 一輩子 我會假裝你忘了我假裝你將你我的過往 像候鳥一般從記憶中遷徙 假裝你已走過寒冬迎接春天 我會假裝… 一直到自以為一切都是真的! 然後… 祝你一生永遠幸福!


第六封信《海角七号》

第六封日文版: 友子、台湾のアルバムを君に残してきたよ。お母さんのところに置いてある。でも、一枚だけこっそりもらってきた。君が海辺で泳いでいる写真。写真の海は風もなく、雨もなく、そして君は天国にいるみたいに笑っている。君の未来が誰のものでも、君に似合う男なんていない。美しい思い出は大事に持ってこようと思ったけど、連れて来れたのはむなしさだけ。思うのは、君のことばかり。あ、虹だ。虹の両端が海を越え、僕と君を結び付けてくれますように。

中文版:

海上氣溫16度 風速12節、水深97米 已經看見了幾隻海鳥預計明天入夜前我們即將登陸 友子… 我把我在台灣的相簿都留給你 就寄放在你母親那兒 但我偷了其中一張 是你在海邊玩水的那張照片裡的海沒風也沒雨 照片裡的你,笑得就像在天堂 不管你的未來將屬於誰 誰都配不上你 原本以為我能將美好回憶妥善打包到頭來卻發現我能攜走的只有虛無 我真的很想妳! 啊,彩虹! 但願這彩虹的兩端 足以跨過海洋,連結我和妳


Aber jede Entscheidung für etwas ist auch eine Entscheidung gegen etwas.

Aber jede Entscheidung für etwas ist auch eine Entscheidung gegen etwas.

–<Dark>S1EP4

Wie wenig wir von der Welt verstehen.Ist das hier echt? Oder bin ich verückt, wie mein Vater?Existieren Sie, oder sind Sie eine Wahrvorstellung von einem Bekloppten?Bu bist genauso wenig verrückt wie dein Vater.Es ist schwer, zu begreifen, was gegen das spricht, wozu der Verstand konditionert ist.Wie war es wohl für die Menschen, als es hieß, die Erde sei eine Kugel?
Wenn du deas jetzt tust, greifst du in den Lauf der Dinge ein.Deine Eltern verlieben sich nicht, sie heiratern nicht. Und du wirst nicht geboren!Bringst du ihn jetzt zurück, löschst du deine eigene Existenz aus.Deine Rolle in all dem ist viel größer, als du denkst.

第五封日文版: 夜が明けた でも、僕には関係ないどちみち、太陽がこい霧がつれてくるだけだ 夜明け前の洸惚の時、年老いた君のゆうびの姿を見たよ 僕は、髪がうすくなり、目もたれていた朝の霧が舞う雪のように、僕の額をおい はげしい太陽が君の黒髪を焼き盡くした 僕らの胸の中の最後の餘熱はかんぜんにん冷め切った友子、無能な僕を許しておくれ

中文版: 傍晚,已經進入了日本海 白天我頭痛欲裂可恨的濃霧 阻擋了我一整個白天的視線 而現在的星光真美 記得你才是中學一年級小女生時 就膽敢以天狗食月的農村傳說來挑戰我月蝕的天文理論嗎? 再說一件不怕你挑戰的理論 你知道我們現在所看到的星光 是自幾億光年遠的星球上 所發射過來的嗎?哇,幾億光年發射出來的光 我們現在才看到 幾億光年的台灣島和日本島 又是什麼樣子呢? 山還是山,海還是海 卻不見了人我想再多看幾眼星空 在這什麼都善變的人世間裡 我想看一下永恆 遇見了要往台灣避冬的烏魚群 我把對你的相思寄放在其中的一隻希望你的漁人父親可以捕獲 友子,儘管他的氣味辛酸 你也一定要嚐一口 你會明白… 我不是拋棄你,我是捨不得你我在眾人熟睡的甲板上反覆低喃 我不是拋棄你,我是捨不得你


《海角七号》第三封信

第三封日文版: 友子、たっだ數日の航海で 僕はすっかり老け込んでしまった潮風がつれてくる泣き聲を聞いて 甲板から離れたくない 寢たくもない 僕の心は決まった 陸に著いたら 一生、海を見ないおこう 潮風よなぜ、泣き聲をつれてやって來る 人を愛して泣く 嫁いで泣く 子供を生んで泣く 君の幸せな未來図を想像して 涙が出そうになるでも、僕の涙は潮風に吹かれて あふれる前に乾いてしまう 涙を出さずに泣いて 僕は、また老け込んだ 憎らしい風 憎らしい月の光憎らしい海 12月の海はどこか怒っている 恥辱と悔恨に耐え さわがしい揺れを伴いながら 僕が向かっているのは故郷なのかそれとも、故郷を後にしているのか

中文版: 友子 才幾天的航行 海風所帶來的哭聲已讓我蒼老許多 我不願離開甲板,也不願睡覺我心裡已經做好盤算 一旦讓我著陸 我將一輩子不願再看見大海 海風啊,為何總是帶來哭聲呢? 愛人哭、嫁人哭、生孩子哭想著你未來可能的幸福我總是會哭 只是我的淚水 總是在湧出前就被海風吹乾 湧不出淚水的哭泣,讓我更蒼老了 可惡的風 可惡的月光 可惡的海十二月的海總是帶著憤怒 我承受著恥辱和悔恨的臭味 陪同不安靜地晃盪 不明白我到底是歸鄉 還是離鄉!

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) Movie Script

– Good morning, Miss Ratched.
– Good morning.
– Good morning, Miss Ratched.
– Mr. Washington.
– Morning.
– Morning.
– Good morning, Miss Ratched.
– Good morning.
– Morning, Bancini.
– Good morning.
How you feel?
Rested.
Medication time. Medication time.
Okay, move it up.
Mr. Fredrickson, just be careful now.
Juice.
Chief.
Okay, my friend, let’s go.
Here’s his papers,
and I’m gonna need a signature.
Hi.
– Mr. McMurphy’s here.
– All right.
Thank you.
– All right, I’m ready.
– Okay. One pair of socks.
T-shirt.
Hi.
Goddamn, boy, you’re about
as big as a mountain.
Look like you might have played
some football.
What’s your name?
He… He can’t hear you.
He’s de… Deaf and dumb Indian.
Is that so?
Come on, Bibbit.
Can’t even make a sound, huh?
How.
Come on, Billy.
Club lead. Jack of clubs.
– What’s your name, son?
– Bill… Billy Bibbit.
Glad to know you, Bill.
McMurphy’s mine.
That’s old Charlie Cheswick’s cards.
– Ha-ha.
– That’s his ace of spades.
Your turn, Bill.
Big 10.
– Put one of them on it, will you?
– Wait a minute.
Oh, I can win that one.
– I win.
– Oh, you over-trumped?
– Sure.
– Pinochle, huh, Bill?
– You’re avoiding spades?
– Mm-hm.
– Oh, okay. You sure you’re avoiding spades?
– What’s the bid?
– I know how to play the game.
– Five… Five-fifty.
Oh, uh, you like to look
at other people’s cards, do you?
– Yes.
– Ever seen this one?
– Come on, Martini.
– Martini.
Martini, will you…?
Will you play a club?
Whose turn is it now?
Well, let’s see, he trumped.
Where you going?
– Aren’t you gonna play?
– What’s the matter with him?
– Aren’t you gonna play, Martini?
– What’s…?
– Martini? I wanna play.
– You took a trump. You got… It’s your lead.
Billy? Billy, I wanna
win some…. I….
Get a grip on yourself, will you?
Yes?
– Mr. McMurphy’s here, doc.
– Good, have him come in.
Thank you.
McMurphy, I’m Dr. Spivey.
Dr. Spivey, what a pleasure
it is to meet you.
– Sure. Pull up a chair, sit down, let’s talk.
– Sure.
R.P. McMurphy.
That’s a hell of a fish there, doc.
– Isn’t that a dandy?
– Yeah. It’s about 40 pounds, ain’t it?
– No, 32.
– Thirty-two.
I’ll tell you, it took every
bit of strength I had…
…to hold it while the guy took the picture.
Every damn bit.
Probably that chain
didn’t help it any either.
You didn’t weigh the chain, did you, doc?
No, I didn’t weigh the chain, but damn,
I’m awful proud of that picture.
That’s the first Chinooker
I ever caught.
– It’s a nice one.
– Hmm.
Randall Patrick McMurphy.
Thirty-eight years old.
What can you tell me about, uh…
…why you’ve been sent over here?
Well, ahem, I don’t know.
What’s it say there?
– Mind if I smoke?
– No, go right ahead.
Well, it, um…
…says several things here.
Said you’ve been belligerent…
…talked when unauthorized…
…you’ve been resentful in attitude
toward work in general, that you’re lazy.
Chewing gum in class.
The real reason
you’ve been sent over here…
…is because they wanted you
to be evaluated.
– Yeah.
– To determine whether or not…
…you’re mentally ill.
This is the real reason.
Why do you think
they might think that?
Well, as near as I can figure out,
it’s because I, uh….
Uh, fight and fuck too much.
In the penitentiary?
No, no, no, you mean why…
Wait…
Why did you get sent over here
from the work farm?
Oh. Oh, yeah. Oh. Uh….
Well, I really don’t know, doc.
It says here that you went around…
– Let me just take a look.
– It ain’t up to me, you know.
One, two, three, four….
– You’ve got at least five arrests for assault.
– Yeah.
– What can you tell me about that?
– Five fights, huh?
Rocky Marciano’s got 40,
and he’s a millionaire.
– That’s true.
– That is true.
Of course, it’s true that you went in
for statutory rape.
That’s true, is it not, this time?
Absolutely true. But, doc…
…she was 1 5 years old
going on 35, doc…
…and, uh, she told me
she was 1 8, and she was…
…uh, very willing.
You know what I mean?
– Mm. Mm.
– I practically had to take…
…to sewing my pants shut.
But, uh, between you and me, uh…
…she might have been 1 5.
When you get that little red beaver…
…right up there in front of you,
I don’t think it’s crazy at all.
– And I don’t think you do either.
– I hear what you’re saying.
No man alive could resist that.
That’s why I got into jail to begin with.
Now they’re telling me
I’m crazy over here…
…because I don’t sit there
like a goddamn vegetable.
It don’t make a bit of sense to me.
If that’s what being crazy is…
…then I’m senseless, out of it,
gone down the road, wacko.
But no more, no less. That’s it.
Well, to be honest with you,
McMurphy, what it says here…
…is that…
…they think….
They think…
…you’ve been faking it
in order to get out of your work detail.
– What do you think about that?
– Do I look like that kind of guy to you, doc?
Well….
Let’s just be frank for a minute,
Randall, if you would.
Tell me…
…do you think there’s anything
wrong with your mind, really?
Not a thing, doc.
I’m a goddamn marvel of modern science.
Well, you’re gonna be here for a
period for us to evaluate you.
– We’re gonna study you.
– Mm-hm.
We’ll make our determinations as
to what, uh, we’re going to do…
…and give you the necessary treatment, uh…
– …as indicated…
– Doc, let me just tell you this.
I’m here to cooperate with you
100 percent.
A hundred percent.
I’ll be just right down
the line with you. You watch.
Because I think we ought to get
to the bottom of, uh, R.P. McMurphy.
The scythe.
– Oh.
– I’m awfully tired.
– Sit down.
– I’m tired.
Well, sit down.
That better?
Mr. Ellsworth…
…you’ll wear yourself out.
Come here.
Okay.
All right, gentlemen, let’s begin.
At the close of Friday’s meeting…
…we were discussing
Mr. Harding’s problem concerning his wife.
Mr. Harding stated that his wife
made him uneasy…
…because she drew stares
from men on the street.
– Is that correct, Mr. Harding?
– Yes. Uh, yes. That’s correct.
He also thinks he may have
given her reason…
…to seek sexual attention elsewhere,
but he wasn’t able to say how.
Mr. Harding has been heard
to say to his wife:
“I hate you.
I don’t ever want to see you again.
You’ve betrayed me.”
So does anyone care to
touch on this further?
Mr. Scanlon, would you begin today?
Are you sure?
Billy, how about you?
No… No… No, ma’am.
I’d like to write in my book
that you began the meeting.
Just once.
Mr. Martini?
Are you with us?
Yes.
Would you like to begin?
Mr. Cheswick?
– Me?
– Yes.
You mean there’s not a man here
who has an opinion on this matter?
All right.
Mr. Harding…
…you’ve stated
on more than one occasion…
…that you suspected your wife
of seeing other men.
Oh, yes. Yes, very much…
I suspect her.
I suspect her.
Well, maybe you can tell us why
you suspect her.
Well, I can only…
…speculate as to the reasons why.
Have you ever speculated,
Mr. Harding…
…that perhaps you are…
…impatient with your wife…
…because she doesn’t meet
your mental requirements?
Perhaps, but you see,
the only thing I can really…
…speculate on, Nurse Ratched…
…is the very existence of my life,
with or without my wife…
…in terms of the human relationships,
the juxtaposition…
…of one person to another,
the form, the content.
Harding, why don’t you knock off
the bullshit and get to the point?
This is the point.
This is the point, Taber.
It’s not bullshit.
I’m not just talking about my wife,
I’m talking about my life.
I can’t seem to get that
through to you.
I’m not just talking about one person,
I’m talking about everybody.
I’m talking about form.
I’m talking about content.
I’m talking about interrelationships.
I’m talking about God, the devil,
hell, heaven.
– Do you understand? Finally?
– Ha!
Yeah, Harding, you’re so fucking dumb
I can’t believe it.
It makes me feel very peculiar,
very peculiar…
– …when you throw in that.
– Peculiar?
– Why?
– What does that mean, peculiar, Harding?
– Peculiar? Peculiar?
– Peculiar?
– Ha-ha-ha.
– I’m going to tell you guys something.
You just don’t wanna learn anything.
You just don’t want
to listen to anybody.
He’s got intelligence.
You’ve never heard the word peculiar?
Say, what are you trying to say?
You trying to say I’m queer?
Is that it?
Little Mary Ann?
Little Marjorie Jane? Huh?
That it?
Is that what you’re trying to tell me?
Is that your idea of communicating
something?
Well, is it?
They’re all crowding in on you,
Mr. Harding.
– They’re all ganging up on you.
– Is that news?
No, they… They sometimes wanna
gang up on me too, but I…
– Cheswick, do me a favor.
– What? Huh?
– Take it easy.
– Take it…?
– And stay off my side.
– But I only wanna…
I only wanna help you.
– I understand.
– Don’t you want me to…?
– Please.
– But I only wanna…
– Please.
– But I only wanna help you.
Please!
You see…
…the other day you made
some allusions, both of you.
– Illusions?
– A sexual… Yes, allusions.
Allusions. Not illusions. Allusions…
…to sexual problems
I might be having with my wife.
All right, say it’s true.
Say I know it to be true, but you don’t.
If that’s your idea of trying
to tell me something…
Harding, I think you’re some
kind of morbid asshole or something.
– Peculiar.
– Asshole again.
It makes you feel peculiar.
You been talking about your wife ever
since I can remember. She’s on your mind.
– Blah, blah, blah.
– I’m not talking about my wife.
When are you gonna get that
through your head?
When are you gonna wise up
and turn her loose?
– Please.
– No, just peculiar.
– I’m tired.
– I don’t wanna hear it.
– I don’t wanna hear it.
– I’m tired.
– I don’t wanna hear it.
– I’m tired.
– It’s a lot of baloney.
– I don’t wanna hear it.
It’s a lot of baloney and I’m tired.
– I don’t wanna hear it.
– We know you’re tired. We’re tired.
– I’m tired and it’s a lot of baloney.
– You’re not tired, Bancini.
Take your hands off me.
Recreation time, gentlemen.
The bus is waiting.
All non-restricted patients
please report to the bus.
Ever play this game, Chief?
Come on, I’ll show you.

Put the Ball in the Hole.

All right.
Now, uh, raise up your arms.
Raise the ball up in the air, Chief.
Raise it up.
McMurphy, what you talking to him for?
He can’t hear a fucking thing.
I ain’t talking to him. I’m talking to myself.
It helps me think.
Yeah, well, it don’t help him none.
Well, it don’t hurt him either, does it?
Don’t hurt you, does it, Chief?
See? Don’t hurt him.
All right, now, Chief, uh….
Let’s raise our hands up in the air.
Just raise them up.
Up, you understand?
Raise the hands up, here.

You’re looking all right.
Get right over here for a second.
Now, just stand right there.
Just get down a little bit.
All right. Stand up.
Stand up. Go ahead.
Whoo. That’s a baby.
All right, you got her.

Hit me. Hit me.
– Hit me. I bet a dime.
– I can’t hit you…
…because it ain’t your turn yet.
You understand?
You see these other people?
These are the real ones.
These are real people here.
What’ll you do, Ches? Hit or sit?
Hit me.
That’s 23 up, Cheswick.
All right, Taber, you’re busted.
Give me this.
– Twenty-three…
– Uh? Hit?
– Hit me.
– Shut up!
Taber.
– Give me a dime.
– I’m next, Taber.
You’re not next. Huh?
– Hit me.
– Ace.
– Hit me.
– That’s four or 1 4.
Don’t want any more. Billy?
– Hit me. Hit me.
– All right, five.
– Hit me. Hit me.
– Huh?
You didn’t make a bet, Martini.
I can’t hit you. Jesus Christ.
– Huh?
– I bet a dime.
All right, here. Go ahead.
– That’s 20 showing.
– No.
– Take your money.
– No.
It’s not.
It’s 10, 11, 12, 13.
This is a fucking queen here, you understand?
Hit me.
You got 20 showing.
Hit me again. I want another card.
– Scanlon, who’s pitching the opener?
– Mac? Mac? Mac, here.
Medication time.
– This isn’t a queen.
– Medication time, gentlemen. Medication.
– Mac, hit me.
– Who’s the…?
– Who’s pitching the opener?
– Hit me.
Jesus Christ Almighty.
Do you nuts wanna play cards
or you wanna jerk off?
Play the game.
I can’t even hear myself think already.
Aah! Stay back.
Excuse me, ma’am. I just wanted to…
– Stay back.
– Mr. McMurphy.
Patients aren’t allowed
in the nurses’ station.
Well, I just, ahem,
wanted to, uh, turn…
When you’re outside, we’ll discuss
whatever problem you have, okay?
Patients are not allowed
in the nurses’ station. All right?
Yes, ma’am.
Billy.
Let me get in here, will you, Hard-on?
Thank you. Excuse me, miss.
Do you think it might be possible
to turn that music down…
…so maybe a couple of the boys
could talk?
That music is for everyone, Mr. McMurphy.
I know, but do you think
we might ease it down a little bit…
…so maybe the boys
didn’t have to shout? Huh?
What you probably don’t realize…
…is that we have a lot of old men
on this ward…
…who couldn’t hear the music
if we turned it lower.
That music is all they have.
Your hand is staining my window.
– Oh. I’m sorry, ma’am. Really sorry.
– All right.
– Mr. McMurphy, your medication.
– Huh?
– What’s in the horse pill?
– It’s just medicine. It’s good for you.
Yeah, but I don’t like the idea of taking
something if I don’t know what it is.
– Don’t get upset, Mr. McMurphy.
– I’m not getting upset, Miss Pilbow.
It’s just that I don’t want anyone
to try and slip me saltpeter.
You know what I mean?
It’s all right, Nurse Pilbow.
If Mr. McMurphy doesn’t want
to take his medication orally…
…I’m sure we can arrange
that he can have it some other way.
But I don’t think you’d like it,
Mr. McMurphy.
You’d like it, wouldn’t you, Hard-on?
Give it to me.
Good.
Very good.
Mm, yummy.
Mr. Harding?
Tell me, lover boy…
…why didn’t you tell her
to go fuck herself?
Jesus Christ.
Okay. Funny, huh? That’s funny, huh?
You know, that wasn’t very smart.
She could have seen that.
Yeah.
God Almighty, she’s got
you guys coming or going.
What do you think she is?
Some kind of a champ or something?
No, I thought you were the champ.
Wanna bet?
Bet on what?
One week.
I bet in one week I can put a bug
so far up her ass…
…she don’t know whether to shit
or wind her watch.
What do you say to that? Wanna bet?
No, you wanna bet?
One week. That’s all I need.
Who wants to bet?
You wanna bet? Bet a buck.
One buck. Huh?
I’ll bet.
Tabes in, 1 buck. Solid.
Last time we were discussing…
…Mr. Harding and the problem
with his wife…
…and I think we were making
a lot of progress.
So who would like to begin today?
Mr. McMurphy?
Yeah, I’ve been thinking about
what you said about, uh…
…you know, getting things
off your chest.
And, uh…. Uh, ahem.
Well, there’s a couple of things
that I’d like to get off my chest.
Well, that’s very good,
Mr. McMurphy. Go ahead.
Okay.
Today, as you may or may not know…
It doesn’t matter.
…is the opening of the World Series.
What I’d like to suggest is that
we change the work detail tonight…
…so that we can watch the ball game.
Well, Mr. McMurphy, what you’re asking…
…is that we change a very
carefully worked-out schedule.
A little change never hurt, huh?
A little variety?
Well, it’s not necessarily true,
Mr. McMurphy.
Some men on the ward take a long,
long time to get used to the schedule.
Change it now, and they
might find it very disturbing.
Ah, fuck the schedule. They can go back
to the schedule after the Series.
I’m talking about the World Series,
Nurse Ratched. Huh?
Well, anyway, this is no way
to proceed about this.
How would it be if we had a vote…
…and let majority rule?
Great. Let’s vote on her.
So all those in favor, raise your hands.
Okay, guys, come on.
Put your hands up.
What’s the matter with you?
Don’t you wanna watch the World Series?
Come on, get your hands up.
It’ll do you good…
…to get some exercise
putting your arms up in the air.
That’s it. Come on, let’s….
What is this crap?
I mean, I watch the Series.
I haven’t missed the Series in years.
Even in the cooler. When I’m in the cooler,
they run it there or they have a riot.
What’s the matter with you guys?
Come on, be good Americans.
Well, Mr. McMurphy,
I only count three votes…
…and that’s not enough
to change ward policy.
I’m sorry.
My turn. Okay, hot dice.
I wanna get to go.
Because I need cash.
I wanna get to Mediterranean Avenue.
Big 10. Perfect.
Two fives. Two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine….
– What are you doing?
– Hotel.
– You do not have a hotel there.
– Hotel.
For the third time…
– …you do not have a hotel on Boardwalk.
– Hotel.
– It costs $1.000 and four green houses…
– Hotel.
– …to put a hotel on Boardwalk.
– Hotel.
Play the game.
– Knock off the bullshit.
– Huh?
– Play the game, Harding.
– What are you talking about?
– Play the game.
– I ain’t doing anything to you.
– What bullshit?
– Your bullshit.
– Your bullshit?
– Play the game.
– Hands off me.
– Play the game.
– Enough bullshit. You hear me?
– Play the game.
– What the fuck are you picking on me for?
– Play the game, Harding.
– Look, I’m trying to ignore you.
– Just play the game.
Keep your hands off me.
– Keep your hands off me! You hear me?
– Play the game.
– Come on, come on, come on.
– I can be pushed just so far, see.
Play the game.
You touch me once more.
Just touch me once more.
Just once more, huh?
Just once more.
– Just touch me once more.
– Play the game, Harding.
Just touch me once more.
Holy Jesus.
Is that what your schedule
does for you, Hard-on? Huh?
Damn lunatic.
– I don’t know what you’re talking about.
– No? Well, then stay all wet, Harding, huh?
Because I’m going downtown
and watch the World Series anyway.
Anybody wanna come with me?
– I do, Mac. I wanna go with you.
– Ches, all right. Anybody else?
– Where?
– Any bar downtown.
Mac… Mac, you can’t…
Can’t get… Can’t get out of here.
Anybody wanna bet?
Hmm, chickenshits?
Maybe he’ll just show Nurse Ratched
his big thing…
…and she’ll open the door for him.
Yeah, maybe I will…
…and then maybe I’ll just use your
thick skull and knock a hole in the wall.
Sefelt, see?
Why, my head would squash
like an eggplant.
Fuck Sefelt’s head,
I don’t need Sefelt’s head.
I’m gonna take this,
put it through the window…
…and me and my buddy Cheswick
are gonna go out…
…downtown, sit down in a bar,
wet our whistles…
…and watch the ball game.
And that’s the bet. Now, does
anybody want any of it? Huh?
You’re gonna lift that thing?
Yeah. That’s right.
I’ll bet a buck.
Taber, $1.
I bet a dime.
Mac, you can’t…
Can’t li… Lift that thing.
Anybody else want any of it? Hard-on?
I’ll bet $25.
Twenty-five dollars, Hard-on.
Mac! Mac, no…
Nobody could ever lift that thing.
Get out of my way, son.
You’re using my oxygen.
You know what I mean?
All right.
Giving up?
No. Just warming up.
Warming up. Warming up.
This will be the one.
All right, baby. Come on.
Fucking thing.
But I tried, didn’t I? Goddamn it.
At least I did that.
And on the mound,
the left-hander Al Downing.
The two pitchers still warming up
right down below us.
The second game
of the 1 963 World Series…
…is being brought to you
from Yankee Stadium.
Did you tell the girl
how you felt about her?
Well… Well, I went…
I went over to her house…
…one Sunday afternoon…
…and I brought…
Brought her some flowers.
And I said… I said:
“Celia, will you ma… ?”
“Ma… ? Marry me?”
Billy?
Why did you want to marry her?
Well, I was in lo…
In love with her.
Your mother told me
that you never told her about it.
Billy, why didn’t you tell her about it?
Billy, wasn’t that the first time
you tried to commit suicide?
Oh, my God.
Yes, Mr. Cheswick?
Miss Ratched…
…I’d like to ask you a question, please.
Go ahead.
Okay, uh….
You know, if, uh…
…Billy doesn’t feel like, uh, talking…
…I mean, uh, why are you pressing him?
Why can’t we go on to some new business?
The business of this meeting, Mr. Cheswick…
…is therapy.
Well, you know, I don’t
understand this, Miss Ratched…
…because, uh, I don’t, uh….
Mr. McMurphy…
…he said something yesterday
about a World Series.
A baseball game?
You know, and I’ve never
been to a baseball game…
…and, well, I think I’d like to see one…
…and that would be good therapy,
too, wouldn’t it, Miss Ratched?
I thought we’d decided that issue.
Well, I don’t think so, because, I mean…
…we discussed that yesterday…
…and we have a new game today,
I think, don’t we, Mac?
That’s right, Ches, and we want
a new vote on it, don’t we?
Would one more vote satisfy you, Mr. McMurphy?
Yeah.
It’ll satisfy me.
There’s a vote before the group.
Everyone in favor of changing
the schedule, please raise your hand.
Okay, I wanna see the hands.
Come on.
Which one of you nuts has got any guts?
– All right. That’s it.
– I only count nine votes, Mr. McMurphy.
Ha-ha-ha. She only counts nine.
Only nine. It’s a landslide.
There are 18 patients on
this ward, Mr. McMurphy…
…and you have to have a majority
to change ward policy.
So you gentlemen can
put your hands down now.
Are you trying to tell me
that you’re gonna count these?
These poor son of a bitches?
They don’t know what we’re talking about.
Well, I have to disagree
with you, Mr. McMurphy.
These men are members of
the ward, just as you are.
All right. All I need is one vote, right?
Right?
All right.
Okay.
Wanna watch the World Series?
Come on in, pal.
This could be a big moment for you.
Wanna watch a baseball game?
You wanna watch baseball?
Just raise that hand up.
Just raise the hand up.
– What do you say?
– I gave it all to her.
Sorry.
Bancini, old horse.
What do you say? You wanna watch
the ball game on TV? Huh?
Wanna watch the ball game?
Baseball? World Series?
– What do you say, pal?
– I’m tired.
You’re tired?
Just raise your hand up, Bancini.
Watch the ball game, huh?
– I’m tired. Awfully tired.
– Okay. All right.
What about you, pal?
All we need’s one vote. Just one vote.
Just your one vote. That’s all we need.
Just raise your hand up, and your buddies
can watch the baseball game on….
General, you remember, don’t you?
October, the banner, the stars.
The World Series.
Raise your hand up, Gen…
Just raise your hand up.
What about you pal, huh?
Wanna watch the ball game?
Wanna watch the ball game, huh?
Just one vote. Just raise your….
Gentlemen, the meeting is adjourned.
For chrissake, isn’t there
one of you fucking maniacs…
– …that knows what I’m talking about?
– Mr. McMurphy?
Huh?
The meeting is adjourned.
Just wait a minute.
Just one minute?
You can bring the subject up again tomorrow.
All right, Chief…
…you’re our last chance. What do you say?
Huh? Just raise your hand up.
That’s all we need from you today, Chief.
Just raise your hand up one time.
Show her that you can do it.
Just show her that you can still do it.
Just raise your hand up.
All the guys have got them up.
Just raise your hand up, Chief.
Will you? Huh?
Come on, there’s gotta be one guy in here
that’s not a total fucking nut.
Mac?
Chief. The Chief.
Chief! Nurse Ratched!
Nurse Ratched, look.
Look. The Chief put his hand up.
The Chief put his hand up.
Look, he voted.
Would you please turn…?
Would you please turn the television set on?
The Chief has got his hand up, right there.
The Chief voted. Now, will you
please turn the television set on?
Mr. McMurphy…
…the meeting was adjourned,
and the vote was closed.
But the vote was 10-to-8.
The Chief, he’s got his hand up. Look.
No, Mr. McMurphy.
When the meeting was adjourned,
the vote was 9-to-9.
Ah, come on, you’re not gonna say that
now. You’re not gonna say that now.
You’re gonna pull that shit now, when…
The Chief just voted. It was 10-to-9.
I want that television set turned on!
Right now!
Mr. Cheswick.
Come on. Come on.
– I wanna watch television.
– No, you have a work assignment.
– Koufax.
– Where’s my sponge?
Koufax kicks. He delivers.
It’s up the middle, it’s a base hit.
Richardson’s rounding first, going for
second. The ball’s in to deep right center.
Davidson over in the corner.
Here comes the throw.
Richardson around the dirt.
Slides, he’s in there! A double!
He’s in there, Martini!
Richardson, he’s on second base.
Koufax is in big fucking trouble.
Big trouble, baby.
All right, here’s Tresh.
He’s the next batter.
Tresh looks in. Koufax….
Koufax gets the sign from Roseboro.
He kicks once, he pumps.
It’s a strike. Koufax’s curve ball
is snapping off like a fucking firecracker.
Here he comes with the next pitch.
Tresh swings.
It’s a long fly ball to deep left center!
– It’s going! It’s gone!
– Mr. Washington…
…and Mr. Warren, please see that
the men are doing their work.
Somebody get me a fucking
wiener before I die.
Koufax looks down. Looking at the great
Mickey Mantle now. Here comes the pitch.
Mantle swings.
It’s a fucking home run!
Gentlemen, stop this.
Stop this immediately.
Do you like it here?
Well, that fucking nurse, man.
What do you mean, sir?
She, uh….
She ain’t honest.
Oh, now, look.
Miss Ratched’s one of the finest nurses
we’ve got in this institution.
Well, I don’t wanna break up
the meeting or nothing…
…but she’s something of a cunt,
ain’t she, doc?
How do you mean that?
She likes a rigged game.
You know what I mean?
Well, you know, I’ve, uh,
been observing you here now…
…for the last four weeks…
…and I don’t see any evidence
of mental illness at all.
I think that you’ve been trying
to put us on all this time.
You know, what do you want me to do?
You know.
You know what I mean? Is that it?
Is that crazy enough for you?
Want me to take a shit on the floor?
Hmm. Christ.
Have you ever heard the old saying,
“A rolling stone gathers no moss”?
Yeah.
Does that mean something to you?
It’s the same as “Don’t wash
your dirty underwear in public.”
I’m not sure I understand
what you mean.
I’m smarter than him, ain’t I?
Well, that sort of
has always meant is, uh…
…it’s hard for something to grow
on something that’s moving.
How did you feel about
what happened yesterday?
Well, you wanna kill.
You know what I mean?
Do you gentlemen have
any more questions?
No, not at the moment.
I don’t have any more,
but, uh, perhaps you do.
Do you have a question, McMurphy?
Where do you suppose she lives?
Chief, come on with me.
Come on.
We’ll show these guys who’s nuts.
All right, wait. Stand right here.
All right. Grab the fence.
Grab the fence here.
Right here, Chief. Strong.
Strong, like this, here.
That’s it. All right. Okay. Up.
That’s it. All right, you got it?
You do. This one.
Here. All right, push.
Come on, Bob.
Where you going?
Don’t breathe on me, Club.
Keep moving. Keep moving.
Come on, you guys.
Get the lead out, huh?
Hey, what the hell’s going on here?
Hey, wait a minute. Aah!
Hold it.
– See how easy it is?
– Oh! Whoa!
Boys…
…this here is Candy.
Candy, this is the boys.
Hi.
– Hi.
– Oh!
You all crazies?
Let’s go. Down here.
– Isn’t this wonderful?
– Right down here.
No problem.
Huh?
Right here. Come on.
Come on, we don’t wanna be late
for our first day out.
Hello.
Come on, will youse?
What are you standing around for here?
Get on-board. Give them these, Candy.
Hey, wait a minute.
What the heck is going on here?
– What are you doing on this boat?
– We’re going fishing.
No, you’re not going fishing.
Not on this boat.
You’re not going fishing on this boat.
Oh, yeah, on this boat.
Uh, ask Captain Block.
– Captain Block?
– Captain Block. Yes, that’s right.
Who are you?
Uh, we’re from the, uh,
state mental institution.
This is Dr. Cheswick, Dr. Taber,
Dr. Fredrickson…
…Dr. Scanlon.
The famous Dr. Scanlon.
Mr. Harding, Dr. Bibbit…
…Dr. Martini, and, uh, Dr. Sefelt.
– How about you? Who are you?
– Oh. I’m Dr. McMurphy. R.P. McMurphy.
Wait, wait, wait one second.
You don’t understand.
We chartered the boat,
we’re going to go fishing…
…and, uh, that’s all there is to it.
You better quit on this. They’ll throw you
in the can again, you know.
No, they won’t. We’re nuts.
They’ll just take us back
to the feeb farm, see?
Von Sefelt, get the stern line.
– Tabes, you’re at the bow.
– This one?
That one. The one at your feet.
Get back on. Jesus.
Tabes.
Cheswick.
Come here, quick.
Aye, aye, sir. I mean, yes, Mac.
Take it easy, Charlie.
You ever driven one of these things?
– Driven one of…?
– Yeah.
– No, Mac. I… I…
– Well, it’s a lot of fun.
– Lot of fun.
– Come on over here.
Put your hands on the wheel.
– Put your hands on.
– I never did this.
Put your hands on the wheel
so you don’t fall down. All right.
Just hold it steady
right there, like that.
– Steady?
– Steady, yeah.
Now just go straight.
– Straight as an arrow, Charlie.
– Straight, Mac?
– Just straight. That’s right.
– But, Mac….
Mac, this thing
ain’t too steady, Mac. Mac!
– Mac. Where are we going, Mac?
– Straight. Just go on.
This is the bait.
– Little fishes.
– Dead fishes.
That’s right.
Now, what are we gonna do
with these little fishes?
– Catch big fishes.
– That’s right. That’s right, Mr. Martini.
And hooks.
Hooks.
Now, hold on to your hooks
because here are the fishes.
Tabes.
Get a fish here.
There, for you, Martini.
All right, now we each one of us
has got a fish.
What are you laughing at, Martini?
You’re not an idiot, huh?
You’re not a goddamn loony now, boy,
you’re a fisherman. Ha-ha-ha.
– Yes. Yes.
– Huh? Now, take your bottom hook.
– You got it?
– Yes.
You take it…
…and you push it
all the way through. Like that.
Wait a second.
Get it through the eyes. Here.
– Right through here.
– In his eye?
Don’t worry about it.
He’s dead, Martini.
Jesus Christ, just put it
through his eyeball here.
That’s it.
Crunch it right through.
All right. Now you got it, see?
Now, you just pull that baby through.
You see what I mean?
And you wrap it around.
You pull this so it’s a little loop.
– That’s very good.
– Aah!
That’s very good, Mr. Fredrickson.
Very good eye work. Good eye work.
That little devil’s gonna not even
feel the sting, is he, boy? Huh?
That son of a gun is gonna
bite on you, is he? Let me see that face.
You… You, um…
Got… Got… Got beautiful hair.
Thank you.
You gotta pull it tight like this.
And you… You, um, got…
Beautiful eyes.
Thank you. Heh-heh.
Billy, what’s the matter?
Fishing don’t grab you?
Yeah… Yeah…
They… They… They do.
Now, come on with me, over here.
I’m gonna give each and
every one of youse a rod.
All right. Here are your poles.
Now, just keep watching the tip here.
If you get a strike, let me know.
Understand?
Come on, Candy.
Just keep fishing, guys.
Don’t call me unless you get
something really big…
…you can’t handle yourselves.
Keep on fishing.
That’s right.
Mac?
Hey! Where is everybody?
Hey. Hey!
Cheswick! Goddamn it, I told you
to steer that boat straight.
I tried to.
Fish!
Fish! Help, help!
Goddamn it, he’s got a fish. Hold it!
Wait a minute, Tabes. I got it.
Cheswick, get the fuck back up there!
Get up there and drive!
– Fish!
– I got it, Tabes.
Get up, Tabes, I’ll get it for you.
Son of a bitch, he’s going over here!
Get up, Tabes!
I got it.
I got it. Give it to me.
– Hey, Harding, I’m the skipper of this boat.
– Ah, shut up.
Well, he said to go straight out
as an arrow.
You’re not going straight,
you’re kind of….
I’m going straight enough.
Now, Chessy, stop it.
– It’s my duty.
– Chessy, stop it.
– No!
– Don’t you…
No, you son of a bitch.
All right, Martini.
All right, take him over.
Take him over.
That’s it. Now play them, boys.
You son of a bitches.
Keep it straight.
Come back this way.
Home safe and sound. Didn’t lose a nut.
Beach bowling, you know what I mean?
We caught it, look.
They’re gonna be trolling this place…
…for six months
looking for dead bodies.
We caught it. Look.
I think he’s dangerous.
He’s not crazy, but he’s dangerous.
– You don’t think he’s crazy?
– No, he’s not crazy.
Dr. Songee?
I don’t think he’s overly psychotic…
…but I still think he’s quite sick.
– Do you think he’s dangerous?
– Absolutely so.
Well, John, what do you wanna
do with him?
Well, I think we’ve had our turn.
I’d like to send him back
to the, uh, work farm, frankly.
Is there anybody
that you have on your staff…
…that could relate to him?
Maybe understand him?
Help him out
with some of these problems?
Well, the funny thing is that
the person that he’s the closest to…
…is the one
he dislikes the most. Heh.
– Well, sure.
– That’s you, Mildred.
Well, gentlemen, in my opinion,
if we send him back to Pendleton…
…or we send him up to Disturbed…
…it’s just one more way of passing on
our problem to somebody else.
You know we don’t like to do that.
So I’d like to keep him on the ward.
I think we can help him.
All right, huh? Chief. Chief, come on.
Come with me, huh? All right.
Now, Chief, this is the spot.
Right there is the spot. Remember?
Raise the hands, in the basket.
That’s it. Raise the hands up.
All right. Let’s have a little ball
from you nuts in here. Here we go.
All right. Let’s play some ball, nuts.
Let’s make some moves.
Hey, Mac, Mac. Time, time, time.
You got six men on the court.
All right. Harding, out of the ball game.
Hey, why me?
– Because I’m the coach. I’ll put you in later.
– Oh, no, no. I don’t trust you.
Ma… Mac, I’ll go.
Okay, good boy, Billy.
I’ll put you in in a minute, all right?
All right, let’s play ball.
Harding, break over.
All right, Martini, get it back.
I’m in the open. What are you doing?
You threw the damn ball into the fence!
Christ Almighty, you threw
the ball into the fence!
There’s nobody there.
We’re playing ball.
All right, come on, get in the game.
Defense, nobody’s doing nothing here.
– For chrissake.
– Hey, Mac, I’m open. I’m open.
All right, Harding, give it back.
Back to me, Harding. Here.
I’m open.
Harding, will you give me the ball?
– Stop dribbling the goddamn ball.
– I got it.
Harding, over here.
Oh, for chrissake, I’m standing…
– You were covered.
– I was open.
Just give me the ball.
They’re making all over the…
I was open. Give me the ball.
– You were covered, Mac.
– I wasn’t covered. Somebody get back.
– Give it to me. Give it to me.
– All right?
– Ow!
– Yeah, we’re going.
Chief. Attababy, put it in.
Get down there.
– Defense.
– Hey!
Get down there, Chief.
All right, all right.
– Pick up somebody over there!
– Get this side.
Get around, Chief.
No, no, no. Get down there, Chief.
The ball’s in play. Ball’s in play.
– That’s bullshit.
– Ball’s in play.
Oh, fuck that shit.
You got to be crazy.
Man, that doesn’t go. The ball ain’t in play.
– Chief.
– Go on, Chief.
Put it in.
Chief, all right! That was great!
What a ball club.
McMurphy, get off the side.
– Come on, move it, man.
– Hey, damn it.
Go ahead. Come on. Come on.
There’s no one looking.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
Go ahead.
I’ll be seeing you on the outside.
You know what I mean?
By the time you get out of here…
…you’ll be too old to even get it up.
Sixty-eight days, buddy.
Sixty-eight days.
What the fuck you talking about,
68 days?
That’s in jail, sucker.
You still don’t know where you’re at,
do you?
– Yeah, where am I at, Washington?
– With us, baby, you’re with us.
And you’re gonna stay with us
until we let you go.
Do you want to say something
to the group, Mr. McMurphy?
Well, ahem, yeah.
I’d like to know why none of the guys
never told me that you…
…Miss Ratched…
…and the doctors could keep me here
till you’re good and ready to turn me loose.
– That’s what I’d like to know.
– Well, fine, Randall. That’s a good start.
Would anyone care
to answer Mr. McMurphy?
Answer what?
You heard me, Harding.
You let me go on hassling
Nurse Ratched here…
…knowing how much I had to lose
and you never told me nothing.
Now, Mac, wait a minute.
Wait a minute, I didn’t know
anything about how much…
– Shit. Fuck.
– Wait a minute. No, listen.
Now, look. I’m voluntary here, see?
I’m not committed.
I don’t have to stay here.
I mean, I can go home any time I want.
You can go home any time you want?
– That’s it.
– You’re bullshitting me.
He’s bullshitting me, right?
No, Randall,
he’s telling you the truth.
As a matter of fact, there are
very few men here who are committed.
There’s Mr. Bromden, Mr. Taber…
…some of the chronics, and you.
Cheswick?
You’re voluntary?
Scanlon?
Billy, for chrissakes,
you must be committed, right?
No… No… No.
Oh. Oh, man.
You’re just a young kid.
What are you doing here?
You ought to be out in a convertible…
…bird-dogging chicks
and banging beaver.
What are you doing here,
for chrissake?
– What’s so funny about that?
– Well….
Jesus, I mean, you guys do nothing
but complain about how you can’t…
…stand it in this place here, and then
you haven’t got the guts to walk out?
I mean, what do you think you are,
for chrissake? Crazy or something?
Well, you’re not. You’re not.
You’re no crazier than the average asshole
walking around on the streets.
And that’s it.
Jesus Christ, I can’t even believe it.
Those are very challenging observations
you made, Randall.
I’m sure some of the men
would like to comment.
Mr. Scanlon?
I wanna know why the dorm is locked
in the daytime and on weekends.
Yeah. I would like to know
about our cigarettes.
May I have my cigarettes,
please, Miss Ratched?
You sit down, Mr. Cheswick,
and wait your turn.
Go ahead, sit down.
To answer your question
about the dorm, Mr. Scanlon…
…you know very well…
…that if we left the door open, you’d just
go right back to bed after breakfast.
– Am I right?
– So what?
May I have my cigarettes,
please, Miss Ratched?
Forget the cigarettes, Cheswick.
Cigarettes are not important.
Sit down, will you?
For chrissake.
Cigarettes.
Remember, Mr. Scanlon,
we’ve discussed many times…
…that time spent in the company of others
is very therapeutic…
…while time spent brooding alone
only increases a feeling of separation.
You remember that, don’t you?
Do you mean to say…
…it’s sick to wanna be
off by yourself?
Miss Ratched?
Mr. Cheswick, you sit down.
– But I wanna know about…
– Sit down, Mr. Cheswick.
I wanna…
– Give him a cigarette, will you, Harding?
– It’s my last one.
That’s a fucking lie.
Why don’t you give him a cigarette?
Look, I’m not running a charity ward, see?
Come on.
Look, I don’t want his cigarettes,
and I don’t want his or his or his…
…or his or his or his
or his or his, or even yours.
Do you understand that?
I want my cigarettes, Miss Ratched.
I want my cigarettes.
I want mine, Miss Ratched.
What gives you the damn right…
…to keep our cigarettes
piled up on your desk…
…and to squeeze out a pack
only when you feel like it, huh?
– Miss Ratched.
– Mr…. Mr. Harding.
Oh, I’m sorry.
– You surprise me.
– No, well, I lost my head. I’m sorry.
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean…
I’m really very sorry. I just forgot.
I didn’t mean…
I’m really very sorry. Just forgot.
– It’s all right.
– Thank you.
Miss Ratched!
– Yes, Mr. Cheswick?
– I asked you a question.
I heard your question, Mr. Cheswick…
…and I will answer your question
as soon as you’ve calmed down.
Okay.
Are you calm, Mr. Cheswick?
– I’m calm.
– Good.
Now, as you all know…
…Mr. McMurphy has been running
a small gambling casino in our tub room.
Now, most of you lost all your
cigarettes to Mr. McMurphy…
…not to mention a tidy sum
of money to Mr. McMurphy.
And that’s why…
…your tub-room privileges
have been suspended…
…and your cigarettes have been rationed.
Mr. Martini?
How we gonna win our money back?
You’re not going to win
your money back, Mr. Martini.
That’s all over.
If you had obeyed the rules
in the first place…
– …you wouldn’t have lost your money.
– Oh!
Sit down, gentlemen.
Sit down, gentlemen.
– Sit down. Sit down.
– Oh! Oh!
Oh, God. Oh, my God.
Rules? Piss on your fucking rules,
Miss Ratched.
Sit down, will you, Cheswick?
I want you to know something
here and now, Miss Ratched.
– I ain’t no little kid. I ain’t no little kid…
– You sit down.
…where you’re gonna have cigarettes
kept from me like cookies…
…and I want something done!
Ain’t that right, Mac?
– That’s right. Now, will you sit down?
– I won’t! I won’t! I want something done!
– Sit down.
– I want something done!
– I want something done!
– Mr. Washington!
I want something done!
I want something done!
I want something done!
I want something done!
– Here. Here.
– I want something done!
Goddamn it,
Cheswick, here. Hey, calm down.
Why don’t you leave him alone,
Washington? He’s gonna be all right.
Emergency 34-B, 34-B.
I’m gonna break your fucking back.
Punk-ass motherfucker.
Forget it.
It’s all over, McMurphy.
Warren! Warren!
Warren.
Would you move, please?
We need this chair.
Just move right over there, okay.
I see we have Mr. Bromden back.
Yeah, okay.
Don’t bother anyone.
– Mr. McMurphy.
– Mr. McMurphy.
– How do you do, Mr. McMurphy?
– I do real fine.
I know you didn’t do anything wrong.
Just sit down.
We’re not going to hurt you.
Sit down, right here. That’s it.
Nurse, this is Mr. Cheswick.
He’s a little upset.
Okay, fine. Thank you very much.
– You’ll be okay, Mr. Cheswick.
– Yes.
Would you keep an eye on these three?
Would you please take these,
gentlemen?
He can’t hear nothing.
That’s it.
Calm down, Ches, will you?
Mr. Cheswick, would you please follow me?
Mr. Cheswick?
Mac. Mac.
– No!
– Nobody’s gonna hurt you.
– No!
– It’ll be all right, Ches.
– No!
– You’re all right. No one’s gonna hurt you.
No, leave me alone.
– Make it easy on yourself.
– No. Mac. Mac.
Come on. Come on, now. Come on.
– Come on.
– No. I didn’t do nothing.
Mac. No!
– Come on.
– I won’t go. I don’t wanna go. I won’t go.
Jesus Christ.
All right, then.
Want some gum?
Thank you.
Ah, Juicy Fruit.
Well, you sly son of a bitch, Chief.
Ha!
– Can you hear me too?
– Yeah, you bet.
Well, I’ll be goddamned, Chief.
And they all… They all think
you’re deaf and dumb.
Jesus Christ.
You fooled them, Chief.
You fooled them. You fooled them all.
Goddamn.
What are we doing in here, Chief? Huh?
What’s us two guys doing
in this fucking place?
Let’s get out of here.
Out.
– Canada?
– Canada.
We’ll be there before these son
of a bitches know what hit them.
Listen to Randall on this one.
– Mr. McMurphy?
– Huh?
Please follow me.
You and me, Chief.
Take a cigarette break, boys. Easy.
I’ll be fine, thank you. Seated.
– Would you sit up, please?
– Sure. Love to.
Attaboy.
There might be a little fluid in them
boots, you know what I mean, boys?
Just a little leak.
A light shine, boys…
…and send the specimen to Nurse Ratched.
– All right, out with your gum.
– Hmm?
Out with your gum.
Okay, this won’t hurt, and
it’ll be over in just a moment.
– What’s that?
– Conductant.
A little dab will do you.
Ain’t that right, Mr. Jackson?
Open your mouth.
– What’s that?
– Keep you from biting your tongue.
Now just bite down on it.
That’s right. Just bite down.
Now, bite down on it.
– Are you ready?
– Ready.
Here we go.
Now, one big breath.
Very good.
Gentlemen, I’d like to begin today.
It shouldn’t take too long.
Jim, it’s been brought to my attention…
…that you’ve been giving
Mr. Fredrickson your medication.
Is that true?
No, ma’am.
Jim…
…are you giving your medication
to Mr. Fredrickson…
…or are you not?
How about it, you creeps, you
lunatics, mental defectives.
Let’s hear it for Bullgoose Randall,
back in action. Nice shirt, Cheseroo.
Look at the faces on you.
Look at you.
The feebs’ brigade, you ding-a-lings.
The mental defective league in formation.
How are you, Nurse Ratched?
I’m happy to be back.
– We’re happy to have you back, Randall.
– Thank you.
Would you like to rest today, or
would you like to join the group?
I’d love to join the group.
I’d like….
I’m proud to join the group, Mildred.
Ahem.
– How…
– Perfect, Billy boy. Absolutely perfect.
They was giving me 10,000 watts a day,
you know, and I’m hot to trot.
Next woman takes me on is gonna
light up like a pinball machine…
…and pay off in silver dollars.
Well, that’s an amusing thought, Randall…
…but when you came in,
we were talking to Jim.
He has a problem with his medication,
and we’d like to get back to that.
Oh, I don’t mind at all, Nurse Ratched.
I’m, uh, gentle as a puppy dog and….
Please proceed. Thank you.
The administration
was hopeful but cautious Friday…
…in its reaction
to a possible opening of the Berlin Wall…
…during the upcoming Christmas holiday.
Good night, gentlemen.
See you in the morning.
Authorities in Birmingham,
Alabama have arrested three men…
…in connection with a church
bombing in the city…
…which killed three Negro children
while they were attending services.
The three men, R.E. Chambliss,
Charles Cagle and John Hall…
…were arrested Sunday
and are being held in custody in Alabama…
…by state police on charges
of illegal possession of dynamite.
Police say the men will be held
on this misdemeanor charge…
…pending full investigation….
Yeah, baby, it’s Mac.
It’s on tonight.
Don’t worry about it.
Don’t worry about it. Get a car.
I don’t give a shit, baby.
Steal it if you have to.
I gotta go. I gotta go.
Uh, don’t forget
to bring some booze. Right.
Bye.
Chief.
Chief, I can’t take it no more.
I gotta get out of here.
I can’t. I just can’t.
It’s easier than you think, Chief.
For you, maybe.
You’re a lot bigger than me.
Why, Chief, you’re about as big
as a goddamn tree trunk.
My papa’s real big.
He did like he pleased.
That’s why everybody worked on him.
The last time I seen my father
he was blind in the cedars from drinking.
And every time he put
the bottle to his mouth…
…he don’t suck out of it.
It sucks out of him until he’d shrunk…
…so wrinkled and yellow,
even the dogs don’t know him.
Killed him, huh?
I’m not saying they killed him.
They just worked on him,
the way they’re working on you.
There they are, Chief.
There they are. They’re here.
Hey. Hey. Over here. That’s it.
McMurphy,
stop all this holy-roller shit…
…and get your ass back in bed.
You understand?
Well, uh, my prayers
have been answered, Turkle.
Come on and see.
You’d take, uh, $20…
…to get down on your knees
and pray, wouldn’t you, Turkle?
No, it don’t send me, don’t send me.
– It don’t?
– Don’t do nothing to me, no.
Well, you know there’ll be more.
I mean, uh, they’ll be bringing
a couple of bottles with them, and, uh….
You’re getting closer, brother.
You’re getting closer…
…but they gonna be sharing
more than just bottles, ain’t they?
– You know what I mean?
– Yeah.
– I know what you mean.
– You understand?
Yeah, I understand what you mean.
– Anything you say, Turkle.
– I’m on my knees, brother.
– Yeah, all right, all right.
– I’m on my knees.
– All right.
– Let them in.
– Let me give you a hand here.
– I appreciate that.
– Hi.
– Ladies.
Oh, thank you. I believe this
is your department, Mr. Turkle.
– Hi, how you doing?
– Hi, Rose, how you doing?
– Love to give her a hand.
– Ow!
– Keep it down.
– Shh.
– I split my pants.
– Keep it down.
– Give it to me. Give it all to me.
– You got to keep it down.
Hi.
This looks like my high school.
Oh, hey, I take that.
– The barber chair.
– You may have it.
It is mine, mine.
You can have it.
You can have it, honey.
– Take a load of these tubs.
– Real nice place you got here, Mac.
– Hey, can I take a bath?
– Sure, you can take a bath. Sure.
Just don’t drown
your pretty little self.
You know, um…
…Rose was married to a maniac once,
up in Beaverton.
Oh, really, miss?
What seemed to be the problem?
Oh, nothing, he used to put
frogs in my bra all the time.
Very interesting.
Mr. Turkle.
Uh, Rose is very interested
in hospitals and hospital facilities.
– I am?
– Yes. Oh, yes, you are.
– I’m going to take Candy…
– Where you going?
Uh, I’m gonna take Candy for a stroll.
I got you, I got you.
– But just don’t make too much noise.
– Not a peep, not a peep.
Peep.
– All right.
– Yes, that’s right.
Now, you come over here, baby,
right over here.
– Candy?
– Don’t worry about Candy, honey.
Sit down and relax. Now….
Wake up, boys. Wake up.
It’s medication time.
Medication time.
The nighttime spirits are here.
It’s Randall to say goodbye…
…and get you high, and
nighttime angel, Candy. Oh, yes.
That’s right, Mr. Martini,
there is an Easter bunny.
Round the side, boys. Join Mr. McMurphy
in the executive lounge, please.
Round the side.
It’s gonna be so great.
You like a nip, don’t you, Charles?
No trouble at all.
It’s Billy the Club of the
fabulous and fantastic 14…
– What the hell’s going on?
– Mr. Turkle.
Ain’t this a bitch.
McMurphy, what you trying to do?
Get my ass really fired, man?
Come on, get your ass out of here.
Ain’t this a… Come on.
We’re just having a party.
Party, my ass. This ain’t no
nightclub, this is a hospital.
Man, this is my fucking job.
I don’t give a damn, this is my fucking job.
Oh, shit. The supervisor.
Come on, get your asses back in there.
Come on. Come on there.
Where is that no-talking son of a bitch?
Is he in there? Good. Come on.
Mr. Turkle?
Where the hell is he?
Why doesn’t he answer?
He’s jerking off somewhere.
Ain’t nobody jerking off
nowhere, motherfucker.
Turkle, what the
fuck are you doing here?
Go out there and talk to her.
Doing the same fucking thing
you’re doing in here, hiding.
Yes, ma’am?
– Everything all right, Mr. Turkle?
– Oh, everything is just fine, ma’am.
Just fine. Just fine.
Who’s there?
– Ain’t nobody in there.
– Please open that door.
I’m sorry.
Heh.
I’m sorry, ma’am, but you know,
a man gets awful lonesome at night.
You understand what I mean, don’t you?
You understand? I’m sure you understand.
I want that woman off
this ward immediately.
Yes, ma’am. Yes, ma’am.
– Jesus.
– Mr. Turkle, is she gone?
Shit, yeah, she’s gone, and so am I.
Get your behinds out of here
and back to bed.
Go ahead, move it, move it. Move it.
– I knew we were in trouble.
– Let’s go.
You and your teddy-bear ass.
Move them on out of here.
Come on, come on.
– Candy?
– Come on, Candy.
Jesus Christ.
Mr. Turkle, I’m really sorry.
Motherfuckers fucking with my job.
– Get out.
– I’m really sorry.
What are you…?
What the fuck…?
Get out of here.
Please get out, this is my job.
You fucking it up. You understand?
Get out.
Get out of here,
you slim motherfucker.
Fuck it.
Good night, good night,
don’t let the cooties bite.
There.
Make you get up and dance. Okay?
Right out of the Shock Department.
I got it from…
I got it from Ratched’s charts.
Right. There you go, there you go.
Easy now. Don’t take it all at once.
Let’s try a little over here.
There you go.
Let’s go.
I’ll have to be the one, Chief.
Hey, Mac, what’s going on? Huh?
Well, Dale, Lord
Randall is stepping down one.
Fredrickson.
Jimmy.
You gonna say goodbye to me, Mac?
Sure, I’m gonna say
goodbye to you, Charles.
– Hey, Mac? Mac?
– Yeah?
Thank you, Mac. Thank you.
– I’ll never forget you.
– Settle down, Charles, all right?
Hey, Billy, what’s wrong?
Billy, for chrissake….
What’s the matter?
I’m… I’m gonna…
Gonna miss you very, very…
…very, very much, Mac.
Well, why don’t you
come with us, then?
Think… Think I don’t want to?
– So come on, then, let’s go.
– Well… Well, it’s not… Not that easy.
I’m not… Not…
Not ready yet.
Tell you what we’ll do.
When I get to Canada,
I’ll write you a postcard…
…and I’ll put my address on it.
That way when you are ready,
you’ll know where to go.
What do you say?
Yeah.
Ma… ? Mac? Is she…?
She going with you?
Candy?
Yeah, she’ll be there when you get there.
She’s going with us.
Are you gonna…?
Gonna marry her?
No. No, we’re just good friends. Why?
No… No… Nothing.
No… No… Don’t “nothing” me,
all right? What is it?
Well, it’s too… Too late.
You want a date with her?
No.
Jesus, I must be crazy to
be in a loony bin like this.
Date, huh?
Well, it’ll have to be a fast
date, I’ll tell you that.
No… No… Not now.
Not now?
When, then?
When I have a free weekend.
You busy right now, are you?
You got something to do right now?
– You got something to do?
– Uh, no… No.
Good, then don’t talk to me about
when you’re ready. Yeah, yeah.
– No. No.
– Ready and everything like that.
Candy, come here a minute.
Yes, yes, yes. Candy,
I want you to meet the famous Billy.
Go get him, will you?
Go get him. Get him out of there.
I want you to get ahold of Billy….
All you gotta do is this one little thing.
– The kid’s cute, isn’t he? Huh?
– Yeah.
Think of me the whole time.
There he is. Billy the Club.
Billy, I got $25…
…that says you are gonna burn
this woman down.
Oh, boy.
Candy, baby…
…I love you.
Hurl the ringer.
Hey, easy. Back. Back. Come on.
That’s enough.
No, no, no, I’ll show you some card tricks.
You ain’t seen the Spanish deck yet.
That’s 40 percent more torture.
Mr. Scanlon, I’m gonna present you…
…with this fine deck
of cards for playing.
This ain’t gonna take long, Rose,
you know what I mean?
When we get to Canada….
Out of sight, man. Out of sight.
Morning, Miss Ratched.
– Morning.
– Good morning.
Mr. Warren, close the window
and lock the screen.
Right.
Mr. Miller, show this woman
the way out of the hospital.
Gladly.
– Come on, lady, let’s go.
– Oh…
– You’re going home.
– Where?
Let her go, Scanlon.
You’re going home.
– Mr. Washington?
– Yes, Miss Ratched.
– Make sure no one is missing.
– Will do.
– Mac?
– Come on, Scanlon, move.
– Everybody out of here.
– Come on, move it out.
Come on, move it.
Martini, get your butt up. Come on, up.
Colonel, get your dead ass up there.
What the hell’s going on here?
Come on, move out.
– Move it out of there.
– Miss Ratched?
Okay, Martini, let’s go. Move it.
– Fredrickson, what you doing?
– Where you going? Back out here.
– Let’s go. Go on, let’s go.
– What the hell is that?
Taber, get up. Come on.
I said, get up.
Move it back there. McMurphy, get your
ass over here, and bring Dracula with you.
– Move it.
– Come on.
Let’s go. Let’s go.
Stay right there, Bancini.
– Miss Ratched?
– Yes?
Looks like Billy Bibbit’s
the only one missing.
– Billy?
– Mm-hm.
– Thank you, Mr. Washington.
– Okay.
Did Billy Bibbit leave the grounds
of the hospital, gentlemen?
I want an answer to my question.
Did he leave the grounds
of the hospital?
– Mr. Washington?
– Yes.
Miss Pilbow, check all the rooms.
– Mr. Warren?
– Yes.
You’ll start with the tub room.
Mr. Martini?
May I have my cap, please?
My cap. My cap. There.
Thank you.
Miss Ratched.
Miss Ratched….
Um, I can explain everything.
Please do, Billy.
Explain everything.
Everything?
Aren’t you ashamed?
No, I’m not.
All right.
You know, Billy, what worries me…
…is how your mother’s
going to take this.
Well, you…
You don’t have to…
…tell her, Miss Ratched.
I don’t have to tell her?
Your mother and I are old friends.
You know that.
Um…. Please do…
Don’t tell my m…
Don’t you think you should have thought
of that before you took that woman…
…in that room?
No, no.
I…
I didn’t.
You mean she dragged you in there
by force?
She… She…
She… She did.
– Everybody did.
– Everybody? Who did?
You tell me who did.
M… McMurphy.
Miss Rat…
Miss Ratched, please don’t…
– …tell my mother, please.
– Mr. Warren?
Would you see that the men
are washed and ready for the day?
Miss Ratched, please…
Please don’t tell my mother.
– Mr. Washington?
– Yes?
– Put Billy in Dr. Spivey’s office.
– No, no. No.
– Stay with him till the doctor arrives.
– No, no, no.
No, no. No.
– Move it. Come on, Martini, get on.
– No.
No! No! No!
That way, please.
Please, gentlemen. Huh?
Let’s go, come on.
Come on, you guys. What is this?
Let’s go.
Hey, what the hell is that?
McMurphy, what the hell are you doing?
Washington to the Day Room. Immediately.
Put down those keys and nobody gets hurt.
Move away from the window
and take that damn Chief with you.
Mac?
Come on, let’s go.
Let me through. Let me through.
Out of the way, McMurphy.
– Come on, clear it.
– Get these people out of here.
– Oh, Billy.
– Will you guys clear the door?
Everybody out. Out. Everybody out.
Come on, goddamn it. Get your ass…
Now calm down.
The best thing we can do
is go on with our daily routine.
All right?
Mac. Don’t.
Don’t. Mac.
Mac. Don’t. Mac. No.
Don’t.
And the bets are placed.
There’s one for Tabes and Chessy
and Martini and the dealer.
And a four to Tabes,
and a six and a nine…
– …and a 10 to the dealer.
– A nine? Nine?
What do you say, Tabes?
A dime apiece.
No? You stick.
– He sticks.
– Sticks with a four.
Chessy’s going for the ride.
– What does that mean?
– He wants a hit.
He wants a hit.
And a big queen.
I think you’re busted.
Buggered, not busted.
– Turn them over.
– Buggered.
And weep.
– Hit me.
– Hit.
I think you’re over.
I know you’re over.
That’s a three.
Mr. Sefelt?
Did everything go well?
That’s very nice.
Now you feel better, don’t you?
Yes, ma’am.
Deuce to the dealer.
Split them. Higher.
McMurphy is out.
McMurphy has escaped.
They were taking him
through the tunnel.
He beat up two of the
attendants and escaped.
– McMurphy’s upstairs.
– Oh, no, no, no.
Jim, I’m telling you,
McMurphy is upstairs…
…and he’s as meek as a lamb.
Really? I mean, how do you know?
– Jack Dunphy told me.
– Jack Dunphy’s full of shit.
– Ha.
– Right. Right.
We got you.
There you go.
Mac.
They said you escaped.
I knew you wouldn’t leave without me.
I was waiting for you.
Now we can make it, Mac.
I feel big as a damn mountain.
Oh, no.
I’m not going without you, Mac.
I wouldn’t leave you here this way.
You’re coming with me.
Let’s go.

Do you hear the people sing?

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

COMBEFERRE
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Courfeyrac:
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!

ALL
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people

There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

FEUILLY
Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!

Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!



《Serenity》

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”

Surrender is a gift that you can give yourself. It’s an act of faith. It’s saying that even though I can’t see where this river is flowing, I trust it will take me in the right direction.” 


Im Westen nichts Neues

Remarque_Im_Westen_nichts_Neues_1929

 

 

1918年10月保罗阵亡。那一天整个前线是那么沉寂和宁静,第二天德国报纸刊载:“西线无战事”。–<Im Westen nichts Neues>

 

Paul Baumer enlisted with his classmates in the German army of World War I. Youthful, enthusiastic, they become soldiers. But despite what they have learned, they break into pieces under the first bombardment in the trenches. And as horrible war plods on year after year, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the principles of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against each other–if only he can come out of the war alive.

Plot Summary

More than fifty years after its jolting prose, haunting poetry, and powerful truths slashed their way into the consciousness of a worldwide readership, All Quiet on the Western Front still stands at the forefront of a host of novels on that most tragic recurrence in the history of human experience: war.

Through the observations of Paul Baumer, a 19-year-old volunteer to the German army during World War I, readers taste war in all its horror. Baumer and his classmates charge fresh out of high school into military service, egged on by parents, teachers, and other one-track-minded adults who are unable to foresee or unwilling to consider the hell into which they are cheering their “Iron Youth.”

But war soon transforms Paul and his comrades into “old folk” and “wild beasts.” Thrust into an open-air asylum reeking of sulfur, excreta, and clotting blood, emblazoned by colorful fireworks that kill, teeming with flesh-eating vermin, these battered, weary, famished friends struggle to make sense of their plight, capturing some measure of peace only when they accept the fact that their reality makes no sense, has no reason. For these soldiers, there is no thrill of victory, only the certainty of one onslaught after another. To look to the future brings them no comfort: they envision no careers, no use for their pre-war education, no romance, no life beyond the battlefield. What lies before them is “the abyss.”

War strips away ideals these boy-men once valued. Their respect for authority is eroded by their disillusionment with the schoolteacher Kantorek who pressed them into service–a laughingstock when forced to don a uniform himself–and is shattered by the contemptible tactics their superior officer Himmelstoss perpetrates in the name of discipline. Even their belief in the sanctity of human life must be compromised every time they kill; this is best illustrated by Paul’s journey from anguish to rationalization of his dispatch of Gerard Duval, the printer turned enemy who leaps into the shell-hole already occupied by Paul.

War destroys these men–even those who survive the bombings, the bullets and bayonets. Yet unless their bodies are annihilated by physical attacks or their sanity exploded by the weight of one too many atrocities, some soldiers manage to maintain vestiges of humanness: their caring for animals (Detering, the farmer turned warrior, rails against the army for its “vilest baseness” in exposing innocent horses to slaughter; the group shares its once-in-a-wartime feast with a little grey cat); compassion for each other (Baumer, little more than a child himself, comforts a terrified, crying recruit and literally covers his behind); their sense of fun (Baumer and Kropp ride high atop a tuck on a canopied, four-poster bed; the Second Company risks their lives amid a shower of explosives for two roast pigs and a platter of potato pancakes); a flair for the romantic (ailing soldiers band together to allow Lewandowski, his wife, and child an intimate reunion in the infirmary); defiance of the near-inevitability of an ugly death (Peter, young and lung-damaged, triumphs over the spectral aura of the Dying Room).

Their hope in a seemingly hopeless situation attests to the endurance of the human spirit. That ghost of a chance that they would return home someday inspires them to think and fight like murderous automatons, to thump along on bleeding stumps where feet used to be until they could reach relative safety from a barrage.

But as the war wears on and the western battlefront soaks up the blood of Kemmerich, then Haie Westhus, then Muller, Paul’s hope ebbs. His trip home on leave whets his appetite for family life, civilian clothes, and a civilian job and at the same time tortures him with the knowledge that should he succeed at fighting his way back home he can no more fit into the life he led at peacetime than he can fit into his old dress suit.

After the deaths or dismemberment of his classmates, other comrades, and finally his most cherished fired Katczinsky, Paul speaks of being “broken, burnt out, rootless.” When, on the eve of the resolution of World War I, Paul’s own end arrives, the expression on his corpse indicates that he has welcomed it.


How much does your life weigh?

Kinda hard, isn’t it? This is what we do to ourselves on a daily basis. We weigh ourselves down until we can’t even move. And make no mistake – Moving is living.

 

RYAN (CONT’D):Imagine for a second that you’re carrying a backpack… I want you
to feel the straps on your shoulders… You feel them?

Now, I want you to pack it with all the stuff you have in your life. Start with the little things. The stuff in drawers and on shelves. The collectables and knick-knacks. Feel the weight as it adds up. Now, start adding the larger stuff. Your clothes, table top appliances,
lamps, linens, your TV. That backpack should be getting pretty heavy at this point – Go Bigger. Your couch, your bed, your kitchen table. Stuff it all in… Your car, get it in there… Your home, whether you have a studio apartment or a two story house, I want you to
stuff it into that backpack.

Now try to walk.

Kinda hard, isn’t it? This is what we do to ourselves on a daily basis. We weigh ourselves down until we can’t even move. And make no mistake – Moving is living.

Now, I’m going to set your backpack on fire. What do you want to take out of it? Photos? Photos are for people who can’t remember. Drink some gingko and let the photos
burn. In fact let everything burn and imagine waking up tomorrow with nothing.
It’s kind of exhilarating isn’t it? That is how I approach every day.

 

 


爱一个人系要理由嘅咩?

 

横竖都系啰,你帮帮忙。我听讲话如果把刀出得快落点准,劏开一个人之后个人唔系即刻死住,只眼重睇到嘢。你拍硬档出手快啲,劏我个心出嚟畀我自己睇吓得唔得?

菩提:贼都有好学嘅。
至尊宝:悭啲啦你!瞓嗱!
菩提:紫霞喺你心目中系唔系一个感叹号,抑或系一个句号?你脑海里系咪充满问号呢?
至尊宝:紫霞只不过系一个我识得架人!我以前讲过一个大话呃佢,我而家心里面有多少内疚噉解嘅啫!我越嚟越讨厌佢。我听日结婚啦,想点啫而家?
菩提:有一日当你发觉你爱上一个你讨厌嘅人,呢段感情先至最攞胆!
至尊宝:但系我点会爱上一个我讨厌嘅人?你畀个理由我唔该!
菩提:爱一个人系要理由嘅咩?
至尊宝:唔使嘅咩?
菩提:要嘅咩?
至尊宝:唔使嘅咩?

无助地,遥望着蓝色的地球,越飘越远…

I’m feeling very still

And I think my spaceship knows which way to go

Tell my wife I love her very much she knows

一九六九年,七月十六号 上午九点三十二分,美国太空总署宇宙飞船阿波罗十一号在肯尼迪太空中心,正式升空,以每秒时速十一公里,离开地球。载着以岩士唐(阿姆斯特朗)为首的三位太空领航员,进行了第一次人类登陆月球任务。 就在阿波罗十一号升空之前的五天,亦即是同年的七月十一号,在大西洋的另外一面,著名摇滚乐手David Bowie,也乘着这个阿波罗十一号升空的热潮,发表了一首影响他一生的歌曲。其实这首歌是关于宇航员Major Tom,他在执行一次太空任务的时候,因为机件短路,与太空总署失去联络,而他亦控制不了太空船,所以最后只可以坐在太空舱内,很无助地,遥望着蓝色的地球,越飘越远…

about marriage–《up in the air》

Sell me marriage.

INT. HILTON AIRPORT SHUTTLE – AFTERNOON
Natalie and Ryan ride back to the airport. We catch them midconversation as Natalie drills Ryan on his theory.
NATALIE: Never…?
Ryan smiles to the few other riders as if apologizing.
NATALIE (CONT’D): You never want to get married? Never want kids?
RYAN: Is that so bizarre?
NATALIE: Yes. Yes it is.
RYAN: I don’t see the value.
Natalie sighs.
RYAN (CONT’D): Sell it to me.
NATALIE: What?
RYAN: Sell me marriage.
NATALIE: I… Uh… How how about love?
RYAN: Pff…
NATALIE: Okay. Stability?
RYAN: How many stabile marriages do you know?
NATALIE: Someone to talk to, spend your life with?

The shuttle stops and everyone goes to grab their bags.
INT. LOBBY, MIAMI HILTON – DAY
Ryan and Natalie enter, still having the same conversation.
NATALIE: How about just not dying alone?
Ryan stops to address this.
RYAN:Starting when I was twelve, we moved each one of my grandparents into a nursing  facility. My parents went the same way. (a beat) Make no mistake. We all die alone.
Ryan turns, thinks of something, then turns back.
RYAN (CONT’D) (adding) Those cult members down in San Diego with the white sneakers and little Dixie cups of Kool-Aid. They didn’t die alone.
Natalie looks steamed.
RYAN (CONT’D) Just saying – There’s options.
Out of nowhere, Natalie starts crying.
RYAN: (almost silent)Oh fuck.
Natalie is now balling in the middle of the lobby.
NATALIE: Brian left me.
RYAN: Oh, hey… I…

You know, a break from our normal lives… A parenthesis.

RYAN I’m a parenthesis?

ALEX

Seriously, Ryan? I can’t believe we’re having this conversation. I mean what do you want?

Ryan stumbles on this. What does he want?

ALEX (CONT’D)

You don’t even know what you want.

I’m sorry that I ruined your night… But you could have seriously screwed things up for me. That was my family. That’s my real life.

RYAN

I thought I was a part of your real life.

ALEX (sighs)

Look, Ryan. I’m a grown up. I don’t hold a grudge. When you’re ready to be an adult and see me again, just give me a call.

Ryan can’t quite believe what he’s hearing. There’s only one thing he can do. He hangs up.

Lost Stars- Adam Levine

 

So let’s get drunk on our tears and God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young


[Verse 1]
Please don’t see just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies
Please see me reachin’ out for someone I can’t see

[Pre-Chorus]
Take my hand, let’s see where we wake up tomorrow
Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand
I’ll be damned, Cupid’s demandin’ back his arrow
So let’s get drunk on our tears and

[Chorus]
God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It’s hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning, but are we all lost stars
Trying to light up the dark?

[Verse 2]
Who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy
Woe is me if we’re not careful turns into reality
Don’t you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow

[Pre-Chorus]
Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer
Turn the page maybe we’ll find a brand new ending
Where we’re dancing in our tears and
我:
[Chorus]
God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It’s hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning, but are we all lost stars
Trying to light up the dark?

[Bridge]
I thought I saw you out there crying, ooh
And I thought I heard you call my name, yeah
And I thought I heard you out there crying, oh
Just the same, oh, yeah

[Chorus]
God, give us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It’s hunting season and this lamb is on the run
Searching for meaning, but are we all lost stars?
I try to light up your dark

[Bridge]
I thought I saw you out there crying, ooh
And I thought I heard you call my name, yeah
And I thought I heard you out there crying, oh

[Outro]
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?




“There are things that are important for different people. For some it’s space, for others, it’s time”.《Taxidermia》

 

“There are things that are important for different people. For some it’s space, for others, it’s time”.

Lajoska neither seeks love, nor fame; he aims for something greater- immortality.

The movie raises some important questions, such as, ‘For what does a man’s dick stand erect?’, ‘Is there anything better than a woman’s cunt?’

 

The first two parts of Taxidermia are adapted from stories written by Hungarian writer Lajos Parti Nagy, while the final and defining chapter is co-written by Pálfi himself and his wife Zsofia Ruttkay. Lajoska Balatoni is the last descendant of Balatony family, a meek shabby gentleman who has mastered the art of Taxidermy. Despite their opposing views, he stands by his disgustingly bloated father, who looks down on him as a carcass stuffer. Lajoska neither seeks love, nor fame; he aims for something greater- immortality. The final act of Taxidermy is extremely grotesque, an extended sequence of Lajoska eviscerating his whole body, organ by organ, stuffing his own torso while he is still alive. When the body dissembles, the whole universe falls apart.
