Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,013
The first entirely detourned film
in the history of cinema:
2
00:00:28,966 --> 00:00:31,513
CAN DIALECTICS BREAK BRICKS?
3
00:00:43,266 --> 00:00:47,400
A toast to the exploited:
for the extermination of the exploiters.
4
00:00:50,146 --> 00:00:52,553
An epitaph for some friends.
5
00:00:58,686 --> 00:01:00,600
A film produced by the person listed here,
6
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,593
who naturally has no idea
what has happened to his film.
7
00:01:12,026 --> 00:01:16,026
Let it be said: all films can be detourned:
8
00:01:21,033 --> 00:01:23,406
potboilers, Vardas, Pasolinis, Caillacs,
9
00:01:23,406 --> 00:01:28,300
Godards, Bergmans, as well as good
spaghetti westerns and all commercials.
10
00:01:47,766 --> 00:01:52,473
He looks like a jerk, true, but it's not his
fault. It's the producer's.
11
00:01:52,486 --> 00:01:56,653
He's alienated and he knows it. He has no
control over the use of his life.
12
00:01:56,933 --> 00:02:00,773
In short, he's a proletarian.
But that's going to change.
13
00:02:03,380 --> 00:02:06,293
And not by voting for the Common
Program or by joining the PSU.
14
00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:23,680
CAN DIALECTICS BREAK BRICKS?
15
00:02:25,966 --> 00:02:29,966
French language version of 1973 by
the Association for the Development of
16
00:02:29,966 --> 00:02:33,413
Class Struggle and the Propagation of
Dialectical Materialism.
17
00:02:44,926 --> 00:02:50,486
Early one chilly morning in a country
where the ideology is particularly cold...
18
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:05,100
I would like you to remember... that my karate
teacher died of a bullet in the head.
19
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:07,833
Yes...
20
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:08,920
IN THE HEAD!
21
00:04:45,253 --> 00:04:47,266
- Without dead time.
- Without restraints.
22
00:04:48,146 --> 00:04:51,640
- Without restraints. You know the password.
- Without dead time.
23
00:05:17,553 --> 00:05:19,266
The bureaucrats are coming!
24
00:05:31,866 --> 00:05:34,626
Imbecile bearing a sack of petitions.
25
00:05:36,213 --> 00:05:39,600
Bearer of petitions justly trampled
underfoot by the servants of the State.
26
00:06:10,846 --> 00:06:14,473
Young proletarian
seen through bamboo in the foreground.
27
00:06:45,073 --> 00:06:49,326
Say now, work is freedom, isn't it?
28
00:07:40,293 --> 00:07:43,200
The bureaucrats just did that.
What does it mean?
29
00:07:46,093 --> 00:07:48,840
You don't answer. Why?
Why? Are you afraid?
30
00:07:51,973 --> 00:07:53,160
So, explain it to me.
31
00:07:54,113 --> 00:07:58,766
It means they're going to drink the sweat
of the proletarians to the dregs again
32
00:07:58,766 --> 00:08:02,413
and send our children to school.
We've had it with these scum.
33
00:08:03,146 --> 00:08:08,520
The bureaucrats begin by exploiting us...
and end up by alienating us.
34
00:08:08,526 --> 00:08:10,446
"Serving the People" they call it.
35
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,733
Don't worry, the film's just starting.
36
00:08:17,733 --> 00:08:17,746
They've made propositions to me but...
Don't worry, the film's just starting.
37
00:08:17,746 --> 00:08:19,200
They've made propositions to me but...
38
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,260
they were only improvements in poverty or
poverty itself that they were "improving."
39
00:08:43,146 --> 00:08:44,113
Comrade!
40
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:49,620
"Nor god, nor Caesar, nor tribune..."
41
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,413
Listen to me, Comrade!
The bureaucrats have chosen your house.
42
00:08:53,413 --> 00:08:55,646
Of course...to drink my sweat.
43
00:08:55,646 --> 00:08:58,866
That's not all, you have to go to your
crummy job -- the exploiters -- and
44
00:08:58,866 --> 00:08:58,873
show how much you've produced.
That's not all, you have to go to your
crummy job -- the exploiters -- and
45
00:08:58,873 --> 00:09:01,466
show how much you've produced.
46
00:09:01,746 --> 00:09:03,973
- Horrors!
- Comrade!
47
00:09:11,006 --> 00:09:14,400
- Are you really sure about this?
- Yes, I'm beginning to really tell
48
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,413
the exploiters from the exploited. It's been
going on so long, you can see how it works.
49
00:09:21,366 --> 00:09:25,053
So what good was it to us to read Marx and
Lautreamont? Dejacque and Coeurderoy?
50
00:09:25,313 --> 00:09:26,780
Bakunin and Fourier?
51
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:33,286
Our tactics must be indissolubly founded on
the practice of individual realization.
52
00:09:47,413 --> 00:09:49,453
What are you doing around here, anyway?
53
00:09:50,606 --> 00:09:54,646
I'm waiting for the Morning of the Great
Evening, but above all for the Great Evening.
54
00:09:54,646 --> 00:09:57,740
to take pleasure in burning off the hair
under their arms.
55
00:10:00,406 --> 00:10:03,140
And to make sure the landlords hang and
the priests are cut in two...
56
00:10:03,146 --> 00:10:05,466
I'm going to sharpen my dialectics
on impending situations.
57
00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:07,846
Have you resolved
the question of organization?
58
00:10:08,813 --> 00:10:13,546
Afterwards...the Workers Councils will
be realized in generalized self-management.
59
00:10:14,733 --> 00:10:17,266
But what can we do until then?
60
00:10:20,546 --> 00:10:25,266
We'll find something like Councils. You can't
combat alienation with alienated means.
61
00:10:30,773 --> 00:10:32,886
Don't worry about it. It'll all work out.
62
00:10:55,286 --> 00:10:56,746
The bureaucrats are coming!
63
00:10:57,380 --> 00:10:59,033
Quick! Back to work!
64
00:11:20,586 --> 00:11:26,020
So, that's how you exercise your dialectical
materialism and, why not...
65
00:11:26,260 --> 00:11:28,293
your radical subjectivity.
66
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,846
That can still be of use.
67
00:11:33,186 --> 00:11:36,480
Not for wildcat strikes. Not for the
occupation of factories, I hope.
68
00:11:36,486 --> 00:11:38,580
Nor for arson against public services.
69
00:12:07,566 --> 00:12:11,326
Nor for looting major department stores.
Work must be your only role.
70
00:12:11,673 --> 00:12:15,400
Work. Family. Fatherland. Work!
Family! Fatherland! Just stick to that.
71
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:29,853
I don't want to hear any more about class
struggle. If not I'll send in my sociologists!
72
00:12:30,540 --> 00:12:34,086
And, if necessary, my psychiatrists!
My urban planners! My architects!
73
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:39,106
My Foucaults! My Lacans! And if that's
not enough, I'll even send my structuralists.
74
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,293
Bureaucrat!
75
00:13:08,866 --> 00:13:12,486
I'm fed up! I'm not gonna kill myself at some
stinking job my whole life!
76
00:13:12,580 --> 00:13:16,433
Oooh! You could have a word
about that with your union...
77
00:13:16,433 --> 00:13:18,360
Or perhaps read the Nouvel Observateur?
78
00:13:19,180 --> 00:13:20,613
You take me for a jerk?
79
00:13:21,246 --> 00:13:23,706
I will as long as I can.
80
00:13:36,113 --> 00:13:39,173
Comrade! Comrade!
81
00:13:42,693 --> 00:13:45,133
Lemme go! Lemme at 'em!
82
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,146
Well, now that I think about it, this isn't
the first time this has happened.
83
00:13:52,146 --> 00:13:54,873
We already got to you without taking any
prisoners in Catalonia in '37
84
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:58,333
And in the streets of Budapest in '56.
85
00:14:00,913 --> 00:14:02,606
See you next time.
86
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,753
Bureaucrat! We're not just some bunch of
militants! We'll never again let ourselves
87
00:14:06,766 --> 00:14:08,626
be used as the weapon of critique.
88
00:14:13,706 --> 00:14:17,093
Yes, I know, there's nothing
without critique...
89
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,660
through the use of weapons.
90
00:14:22,226 --> 00:14:23,180
Take him.
91
00:15:39,666 --> 00:15:41,686
- Kill him!
- Very well, sir.
92
00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:13,646
Now there's how radical subjectivity
can become a practical force.
93
00:16:33,186 --> 00:16:36,600
We'll crush you!
Kill him!
94
00:16:49,366 --> 00:16:50,746
Cut him up!
95
00:17:01,006 --> 00:17:05,226
- Nice, huh? C'mon let's go.
- No.
96
00:17:07,753 --> 00:17:09,513
I'm sure he's seen Themroc.
97
00:17:16,433 --> 00:17:19,420
Themroc? Oh yes, that excellent
filmanthropic production!
98
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,640
He must have been at Kronstadt.
99
00:17:20,646 --> 00:17:24,100
Against Trotsky.
And certainly in the Ukraine with Makhno.
100
00:17:24,506 --> 00:17:30,946
Or again with Pancho Villa in Mexico.
He's undoubtedly read all the Classics of Subversion.
101
00:17:30,940 --> 00:17:32,933
published by Champ Libre, then.
102
00:17:33,026 --> 00:17:35,526
That you can rip off
from any good bookstore.
103
00:17:35,966 --> 00:17:42,940
He's sung "Cops fall dead on the corner"
to the tune of "It's 5am, Paris awakes..."
104
00:18:45,233 --> 00:18:46,473
The bastards!
105
00:18:47,993 --> 00:18:50,013
"Certain people say
in speaking of revolution..."
106
00:18:50,013 --> 00:18:53,406
- Lies, and Trotskyoid lies at that!
- That's right!
107
00:18:53,606 --> 00:18:56,266
And it's all done the better to fuck us over.
108
00:18:58,606 --> 00:19:03,206
Now that's the important point. Comrades,
what do you say of this foolishness?
109
00:19:07,886 --> 00:19:10,420
And you, comrade, tell us a bit about it.
110
00:19:10,766 --> 00:19:17,346
Yes, this shit originates in the stupid and
obtuse Leninism of Trotsky. But let's not
111
00:19:17,340 --> 00:19:21,546
be too cruel to the grandfather
of bureaucracy. It's so archaic.
112
00:19:22,126 --> 00:19:25,380
Yes, very archaic. And just when will this
eruption of the end take place?
113
00:19:25,386 --> 00:19:27,480
Dialectical reason thunders in its crater.
114
00:19:27,980 --> 00:19:32,700
- Yeah. It's time to hang the landlords!
- And to cut the priests in two!
115
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,953
And to smash every church to the ground
as Comrade Ravachol advocated.
116
00:19:40,653 --> 00:19:43,726
And now, that's not all.
We must win!
117
00:19:44,973 --> 00:19:51,040
All this can only mean, comrades, that
"The Commune is not dead!"
118
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,726
Ideology reinforces itself
as it becomes more atomized.
119
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,886
Revolutionary theory transforms itself.
120
00:20:00,220 --> 00:20:03,160
It seems their latest discovery
is to detourn the mass media.
121
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,033
These detournments disturb me.
122
00:20:05,653 --> 00:20:08,060
That, old man, is the beginning of the end.
123
00:20:08,173 --> 00:20:13,033
What disturbs me most in this practice is
that they are quite capable of reducing
124
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,253
our own wooden language
to shavings if not to sawdust.
125
00:20:18,166 --> 00:20:21,413
We've got to watch that.
"What is to be done," said...
126
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:23,773
- Lenin.
- Yes, Lenin.
127
00:20:24,473 --> 00:20:28,060
Even as the ruling class,
one is often in the shit.
128
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:33,320
The mug. It's all in the mug. The more
stories we tell 'em,
129
00:20:33,326 --> 00:20:34,933
the more we get 'em used to our mugs.
130
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,946
We have resolved many of the
contradictions of State Capitalism...
131
00:20:39,946 --> 00:20:42,380
but not those which threaten
to sweep us away.
132
00:20:45,260 --> 00:20:49,486
Even with our great asses in warm water,
our ideology still gets cold.
133
00:20:50,753 --> 00:20:55,546
Run and talk to Escarole
and that jerk Jean-Daniel.
134
00:20:56,206 --> 00:20:58,706
These jerks who are supposed to be
watching but see nothing.
135
00:20:58,700 --> 00:21:01,000
These jerks. I'm going right now.
136
00:21:04,753 --> 00:21:08,146
C'mon, I've got something
for you to suck on.
137
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:21,173
They've alienated yet another proletarian.
138
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:33,253
Another one lost.
139
00:21:33,253 --> 00:21:35,993
- What's going on?
- This one just became a union rep.
140
00:21:36,006 --> 00:21:40,420
As soon as he did, he repressed a wildcat
strike, just before buying a TV on credit.
141
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,566
It's sad. These bastards... suppose we
burn off the hair under their arms.
142
00:21:49,146 --> 00:21:53,606
And kindle a fire for the cauldron for the
party on the Morning of the Great Evening.
143
00:21:58,153 --> 00:22:00,566
And try our hands on the priests, first.
144
00:22:08,813 --> 00:22:12,020
Alert! Bureaucrats in the neighborhood!
145
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:14,826
Death to the scum!
146
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,513
Spare no one! Just like in Budapest!
Death to the proles!
147
00:22:53,526 --> 00:22:57,226
- To the death! Long live Moscow! Long live Stalin!
- Die, you cunts!
148
00:24:41,300 --> 00:24:42,493
Greetings, prole!
149
00:24:48,633 --> 00:24:52,120
I have a proposition
which should not displease you.
150
00:24:52,133 --> 00:24:53,373
Piss on it.
151
00:24:53,373 --> 00:24:58,186
No, you should accept. It'll be a social promotion.
Girls and good wine.
152
00:25:02,126 --> 00:25:04,660
My friend will never join the shitheap clan.
153
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,826
Ok. We'll see about that tomorrow.
154
00:25:10,806 --> 00:25:14,360
It's better like that.
It's good to be on the winning side.
155
00:25:14,366 --> 00:25:18,520
Plenty of dough. The prettiest young boys
and as much opium as you want.
156
00:25:18,713 --> 00:25:21,106
We'll see. Didn't you understand?
157
00:25:33,606 --> 00:25:37,580
We'll see. We'll see tomorrow.
Tomorrow, understood?
158
00:25:37,580 --> 00:25:40,060
Hmm. Very well.
159
00:25:47,146 --> 00:25:48,406
Let's go home.
160
00:25:59,213 --> 00:26:01,913
It's nothing. Let's walk for a bit.
161
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:04,880
Take it.
162
00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:09,260
Listen.
Can't you understand?
163
00:26:09,266 --> 00:26:13,793
No! Go and let your new friends
look after you, fuckface.
164
00:26:14,146 --> 00:26:15,173
Let's go.
165
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,226
- He hit you?
- Yeah, right here. It still hurts.
166
00:26:30,466 --> 00:26:35,440
We wanted to finish 'em off. He let us
down. Ok, guys. Some dialectics now.
167
00:26:38,140 --> 00:26:43,366
It's the only way to break bricks, comrades.
We cannot be discouraged by other
168
00:26:43,373 --> 00:26:46,793
proletarians. We must annihilate forever
what could one day destroy our work.
169
00:26:46,793 --> 00:26:50,886
What can we do about that guy?
Tomorrow he'll become a union official.
170
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,666
We must radicalize our practice:
occupation of factories.
171
00:26:53,666 --> 00:26:56,480
Not bad, but it's better
to take prisoners, too.
172
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,960
Management and union bosses into the
closets, Ok. But it's not a real advance.
173
00:27:08,620 --> 00:27:10,060
What have you to say?
174
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:19,246
There's radio and TV. All of the centers of
communication. How can we take them?
175
00:27:20,093 --> 00:27:23,793
Don't talk about it here. There's cops
in the place. Let's be discreet.
176
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,513
Let's organize revolt in daily life,
so it's not lost.
177
00:27:40,246 --> 00:27:42,553
C'mon, let's go for a stroll.
178
00:28:54,113 --> 00:28:58,220
Something wrong? You still make me hard.
I haven't changed.
179
00:29:05,793 --> 00:29:07,800
You know I can't forget you.
180
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,806
"China night, caressing night...."
181
00:31:23,246 --> 00:31:24,233
Sit down.
182
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,393
You recognize me, darling?
183
00:31:50,793 --> 00:31:53,650
I think so. We must have seen each other
on the rue Gay-Lussac.
184
00:31:56,353 --> 00:31:58,650
It smelled good, like flowers
beginning to blossom.
185
00:32:29,413 --> 00:32:31,950
Are you going to see
the bureaucrats tomorrow?
186
00:32:32,250 --> 00:32:33,046
Yes.
187
00:32:33,853 --> 00:32:37,613
You're on the wrong track. Do you know
the nature of the power-wielding classes?
188
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,033
Of the bureaucracy?
And all the contradictions of capitalism?
189
00:32:42,833 --> 00:32:45,110
Don't underestimate the adversary.
190
00:32:47,313 --> 00:32:48,406
I know all that.
191
00:32:50,593 --> 00:32:52,266
And you're getting mixed up in it?
192
00:32:55,626 --> 00:32:56,730
Yeah.
193
00:32:59,286 --> 00:33:02,706
You're playing into their hands and
mediation is their game.
194
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:08,720
I'm sick of commodity ideology. You're just like
the others and they're killing us with it.
195
00:33:09,180 --> 00:33:10,966
But not for much longer.
196
00:33:38,826 --> 00:33:40,530
You still get hard?
197
00:33:44,286 --> 00:33:47,000
The only thing I have left
is the experience of love.
198
00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:02,573
Getting it up against the old world
which brings me such boredom.
199
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,940
You don't see it, your fingers
are blocking your eyes.
200
00:34:08,370 --> 00:34:10,300
Why don't you put them somewhere else?
201
00:34:10,300 --> 00:34:13,080
Not today. Maybe later tonight.
202
00:34:22,313 --> 00:34:23,873
You're no longer a man.
203
00:34:38,686 --> 00:34:39,913
What's gotten into you?
204
00:34:45,340 --> 00:34:47,166
Try to understand me.
205
00:34:55,486 --> 00:35:01,320
Listen. Don't be a jerk. You have no power.
But it can get better. We're gonna try to
206
00:35:01,493 --> 00:35:07,740
smooth over class struggle. To arrange
social peace so there'll be no more injustice.
207
00:35:08,853 --> 00:35:16,040
They offer crumbs, we want it all. A bit
more pay, a bit more poverty.
208
00:35:16,046 --> 00:35:17,226
They can drop dead!
209
00:35:17,586 --> 00:35:22,606
Take it easy. I'm no Trotskyist. Do I look
like a bastard? The bad days will end.
210
00:35:26,706 --> 00:35:32,266
I believe you. I've seen you kill more than one
priest. But you can't conquer alienation
211
00:35:32,266 --> 00:35:34,300
with alienated means.
212
00:36:07,353 --> 00:36:09,146
Comrade, what are you thinking about?
213
00:36:09,153 --> 00:36:12,280
- Durruti.
- And the archbishop he knocked off.
214
00:36:13,746 --> 00:36:17,386
Don't go to pieces. There's plenty more
like him. And lots more fun in store.
215
00:36:33,986 --> 00:36:36,906
Hey guys, there's someone missing here.
216
00:37:02,233 --> 00:37:03,933
Have you seen Comrade Brecht?
217
00:37:53,850 --> 00:37:57,493
Welcome. The Comrade-Secretary is
waiting for you inside.
218
00:37:59,206 --> 00:38:03,166
I don't like you, flunkey. Are they all like
Peninou in there? It must stink like
219
00:38:03,166 --> 00:38:04,906
those bad evenings at the Sorbonne.
220
00:38:08,053 --> 00:38:09,760
Come in. You'll see.
221
00:38:25,153 --> 00:38:26,666
What are you doing around here?
222
00:38:28,133 --> 00:38:29,620
Wanna dance, you little jerk?
223
00:38:49,830 --> 00:38:54,840
Here is Comrade-Secretary, our helmsman
in adversity, our beloved leader.
224
00:38:54,973 --> 00:38:59,333
- Good day, sir.
- Greetings to you, queen of the cunts.
225
00:39:00,733 --> 00:39:05,573
From the start of this detourned film,
they've had me say a bunch of stupid shit...
226
00:39:05,586 --> 00:39:08,533
but I, too, believe bureaucracy
has gone too far.
227
00:39:08,580 --> 00:39:10,960
It's hard for me to believe this new lie.
228
00:39:14,953 --> 00:39:20,100
For once, I'm honest when I speak. And
frankly, it's not bullshit.
229
00:39:21,546 --> 00:39:27,686
The Long March is over. We're not in
Yenan. Cut the chat on art and literature.
230
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,266
Dialectician, you've been reading too much.
I just want to let you in on that.
231
00:39:34,260 --> 00:39:37,406
No conscious individual can be taken in
by you. You should know that.
232
00:39:37,820 --> 00:39:40,673
That's Ok, I won't insist this time.
233
00:39:41,973 --> 00:39:44,740
Sooner or later you'll get it up the ass.
I was just making an honest proposition.
234
00:39:59,980 --> 00:40:01,893
- Leave this to me.
- Very well, sir.
235
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,106
Why don't you leave me alone for once?
236
00:41:03,100 --> 00:41:06,920
Why so nasty? Don't be like that.
What have I ever done to you anyway?
237
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,733
You've kept your illusions about Castro.
You're retarded. Leave me the fuck alone.
238
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,920
You should realize it's a bit stupid
to retain all those illusions.
239
00:42:12,260 --> 00:42:17,553
Don’t take it too hard. She'll get over it
soon. She's a Castroist but it's because
240
00:42:17,553 --> 00:42:19,273
she hasn't read Reich yet.
241
00:42:37,566 --> 00:42:40,046
Well now. So we love little boys, too?
242
00:42:40,700 --> 00:42:43,093
Exactly. Proletarians have no complexes.
243
00:42:43,246 --> 00:42:48,186
Maybe you don't know, but bureaucrats are
no Puritans, at least when it comes to kids.
244
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,320
Children are not objects!
In any case, not for proles.
245
00:42:58,393 --> 00:43:02,833
Bureaucrat sonofabitch. We're gonna cut
you up, shitheap, and sooner than you think.
246
00:43:03,073 --> 00:43:07,326
You know, with a guy like you
it really kinda grieves me.
247
00:43:08,326 --> 00:43:11,646
This bird's not exactly a fun time. And he
takes us for a couple of jerks.
248
00:43:11,646 --> 00:43:15,913
They're all the same. They think they can
feed us this shit, but we're men.
249
00:43:16,586 --> 00:43:20,513
Very amusing, but I'll have you
sooner or later.
250
00:43:23,140 --> 00:43:27,153
You'll accept the day I offer you
a place on the Political Bureau.
251
00:43:56,390 --> 00:44:02,333
For this sequence consult "Enrages and
Situs in the Occupation Movement,"
252
00:44:02,333 --> 00:44:06,800
Gallimard edition,
pages 207 and 231.
253
00:46:03,540 --> 00:46:06,593
Go put away your phallic symbol!
254
00:46:18,573 --> 00:46:22,573
You'll get another taste of my qualitatives
later, you asexual lowlife.
255
00:48:38,540 --> 00:48:41,166
On this wall a slogan was just erased.
256
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,706
"Run quickly comrade, the old world's behind
you. That includes the Ligue Communiste."
257
00:48:58,673 --> 00:49:00,160
Go around the other way.
258
00:49:38,173 --> 00:49:41,313
A proletarian is someone who's exploited
and has understood that
259
00:49:41,313 --> 00:49:44,773
the proletariat itself can only be a power in
becoming conscious of itself.
260
00:49:44,780 --> 00:49:48,226
I read the letter to the Polish Communist
Party of Kuron and Modzelewski.
261
00:49:48,220 --> 00:49:52,353
It confirms our critique of the movement.
Clearly not too bad. But it's not enough.
262
00:49:53,446 --> 00:49:56,786
Crying doesn't help. The bad days will end,
goddammit.
263
00:49:59,666 --> 00:50:02,380
The Commune. Nicholas, the Commune
is not dead.
264
00:51:25,220 --> 00:51:26,693
And her over there?
265
00:51:28,310 --> 00:51:29,893
You don't know her?
266
00:51:30,586 --> 00:51:32,506
Well then you're not on the scent of things.
267
00:51:33,046 --> 00:51:36,260
Your bottle breaking trick
is nothing special, cunt.
268
00:51:38,973 --> 00:51:42,033
Try it on the skull of an individualist
who's seen plenty.
269
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:50,860
Ideology can only shatter to pieces
on contact with radical subjectivity.
270
00:52:30,233 --> 00:52:33,820
Pass this test and you'll make foreman.
271
00:52:34,633 --> 00:52:37,200
Out of the question.
I'll never be a small-time boss.
272
00:53:08,846 --> 00:53:11,800
You said you wouldn't use the sharp edge.
273
00:53:14,066 --> 00:53:16,880
Mr. Dumbshit, never believe a bureaucrat.
274
00:53:18,166 --> 00:53:21,400
Cruel fortune! To die and never see
the city hall in flames!
275
00:54:55,520 --> 00:55:01,166
Watch out! Don't let 'em read the SI
reprint from van Gennep any more!
276
00:55:02,833 --> 00:55:07,160
Or Society of the Spectacle!
Or The Revolution of Everyday Life!
- Long live Leon!
277
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:12,093
Hey girlie, you ever read Philosophy in the
Boudoir by the divine Marquis Donatien?
278
00:55:12,093 --> 00:55:15,630
Alphonse Francois de Sade,
comrade of the Picques Section?
279
00:55:22,620 --> 00:55:24,313
What's wrong, darling?
280
00:55:24,913 --> 00:55:28,633
The French edition is out of print,
has been for a long, long time.
281
00:55:28,646 --> 00:55:32,666
No, no. Champ Libre's going to reprint it
in their "Classics of Subversion" series.
282
00:55:33,066 --> 00:55:36,566
Your little comrade is bored.
Go caress her.
283
00:55:37,326 --> 00:55:40,206
All over and with sesame oil.
Count on me.
284
00:55:41,213 --> 00:55:42,680
Have a good screw!
285
00:56:17,620 --> 00:56:20,246
They're talking about
letting them loose on us.
286
00:56:20,260 --> 00:56:24,340
The mass media. Yes, I know.
We can detourn them to our advantage.
287
00:56:25,806 --> 00:56:27,373
Then we must act quickly.
288
00:56:30,186 --> 00:56:30,873
Yes.
289
00:57:03,860 --> 00:57:06,080
You could join the party just to see.
290
00:57:06,426 --> 00:57:11,460
We'd strum up a tune of class struggle and
viola-tion without pleasure.
291
00:57:11,753 --> 00:57:15,980
You've understood nothing, you dickbite
Leninist. We're gonna fuck you up.
292
00:57:15,986 --> 00:57:21,160
Bamboo up the ass with red ants. And we'll
burn it all up on the New Red Square.
293
00:57:22,780 --> 00:57:24,500
You really think so?
What about my army?
294
00:57:24,846 --> 00:57:26,173
Let's talk about it.
295
00:57:30,406 --> 00:57:31,666
Shut up!
296
00:57:34,806 --> 00:57:37,386
You've read nothing. Your brave generals
will be shot by their own troops.
297
00:57:37,380 --> 00:57:40,166
The illusion of your power
is only the power of your illusion.
298
00:57:40,166 --> 00:57:42,626
We're gonna have your hide. Trust me.
See you later.
299
00:57:42,700 --> 00:57:43,613
Get him!
300
00:58:21,513 --> 00:58:24,600
So, what do you say now?
My power is an illusion?
301
00:58:40,260 --> 00:58:45,390
- Hey, coyotes! What about ideology?
- And there's no smoke without fire!
302
00:58:57,580 --> 00:59:00,266
Hey dialectician, aren't you coming
to see the comrades?
303
00:59:03,506 --> 00:59:08,146
Little guy, I want you to tell all the
comrades that whatever is lost
304
00:59:08,153 --> 00:59:11,726
in partial contestation becomes part of the
repressive function of the old world.
305
00:59:11,726 --> 00:59:16,253
Don't forget. Also, an insurrection is
needed in the capitalist countries.
306
00:59:16,853 --> 00:59:18,566
All powers reinforce each other.
307
00:59:19,026 --> 00:59:23,526
You must destroy all powers then.
Reminds me of the First International.
308
00:59:35,780 --> 00:59:38,010
Master, the demo has taken a bad turn.
309
00:59:39,693 --> 00:59:42,640
- Ever ready to kill some proles?
- Ever ready!
310
01:00:08,513 --> 01:00:11,080
Hello, most beautiful.
They left you here alone?
311
01:00:11,873 --> 01:00:15,060
- They went to dynamite something.
- And you stayed here?
312
01:00:16,420 --> 01:00:18,960
There were no more cigars to light fuses.
313
01:00:18,966 --> 01:00:21,493
The scum. They make us eat shit.
314
01:00:22,860 --> 01:00:25,300
Don't worry about it. Things are changing.
We'll make them stuff their faces with it.
315
01:00:25,580 --> 01:00:29,666
You could be with a girlfriend or
masturbating. You've got two good arms.
316
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:38,380
I've just read Reich's Function of the
Orgasm in a non-masperised version.
317
01:00:41,073 --> 01:00:45,666
What's that mean? Oh yes, I know. Non-
falsified. Radical critique through gesture.
318
01:00:45,666 --> 01:00:47,446
Matches! Poetry of the schools!
319
01:00:47,453 --> 01:00:50,446
Down with masperisers!
Down with bureaucrats!
320
01:00:53,100 --> 01:00:54,600
Say, you are promising!
321
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:40,720
- Search everywhere!
- Very well.
322
01:01:52,606 --> 01:01:53,686
A pretty girl...
323
01:03:15,526 --> 01:03:16,440
Kill her!
324
01:03:21,933 --> 01:03:22,780
Kill her!
325
01:03:30,553 --> 01:03:31,780
Bring her back over here.
326
01:04:33,126 --> 01:04:33,873
Fake it!
327
01:04:41,060 --> 01:04:43,646
Everyone must know
that bureaucrats have balls.
328
01:05:16,300 --> 01:05:19,486
- They've occupied another factory!
- Let's cut them down!
329
01:05:38,746 --> 01:05:43,773
The bureaucrats are in deep shit and trying
to save their asses. Alain Bouc, too.
330
01:05:46,293 --> 01:05:48,353
They can't make butter from donkey piss.
331
01:05:48,353 --> 01:05:50,430
The only good militant is a dead militant.
332
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:55,173
Those who exterminate bureaucrats
half-way are only digging their own grave.
333
01:05:55,173 --> 01:05:56,353
Down with the State!
334
01:05:57,486 --> 01:05:59,140
Down with all States!
335
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:02,340
Long live la sociale!
336
01:06:19,206 --> 01:06:22,693
- They give you a password?
- Like at Watts, and it's all gonna burn.
337
01:06:31,833 --> 01:06:34,746
We've talked about it a lot.
Now Spring is gonna get hot!
338
01:06:34,740 --> 01:06:37,220
Ready for the final struggle
and the end of alienations!
339
01:06:37,220 --> 01:06:40,086
For a classless society!
And to avenge Makhno and Lumumba!
340
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,600
And Duval and the comrades
of Canton and Barcelona!
341
01:06:44,606 --> 01:06:45,533
To avenge Bonnot!
342
01:06:47,406 --> 01:06:48,153
Let's go!
343
01:06:48,293 --> 01:06:50,280
Say now, finally to avenge Bonnot!
344
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:17,926
Here now for the first time in the world,
thanks to radical critique, one aspect
345
01:07:17,933 --> 01:07:20,933
of the final struggle.
On my right, the proletariat!
346
01:07:26,950 --> 01:07:30,553
On my left, its representation!
Today's L'Equipe special had this to say:
347
01:07:30,553 --> 01:07:33,540
The proletariat has the historical weight
of its unfinished struggle...
348
01:07:33,793 --> 01:07:36,206
...its representation, the dead weight
of ideology.
349
01:07:42,546 --> 01:07:46,300
In preceding encounters the proletariat,
not having discovered in time its
350
01:07:46,300 --> 01:07:50,633
representation, lost in Russia, in Germany,
among others, where we remember
351
01:07:50,646 --> 01:07:52,506
those good ol' Sparticists.
352
01:07:55,153 --> 01:07:59,513
One must say that the falsifiers sang
Socialism above all the charnel houses
353
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:03,493
and it is the practice of revolutionary
theory which denounces the representation
354
01:08:03,500 --> 01:08:08,193
of the proletariat, that is, the bureaucracy
as a ruling class in place of
355
01:08:08,193 --> 01:08:09,706
a commodity economy.
356
01:08:19,346 --> 01:08:23,766
In this sense, it is but one aspect of the
final struggle. But for the countries
357
01:08:23,766 --> 01:08:27,230
concerned, it is the real and absolute aspect
of the forces present.
358
01:08:30,946 --> 01:08:33,786
The proletariat is international
or not at all.
359
01:08:36,466 --> 01:08:40,866
For reasons of censorship, familiar to the
friends of Charlie-Hebdo, the proletariat
360
01:08:40,860 --> 01:08:46,806
has no weapons. It goes without saying, in
reality it will be otherwise. At this very
361
01:08:46,806 --> 01:08:49,760
moment, I have just been informed of
several confrontations in other
362
01:08:49,766 --> 01:08:52,413
so-called "socialist" countries where the
proletariat is in the process of drowning
363
01:08:52,413 --> 01:08:56,233
the next-to-the-last bureaucrat. This
latter is no doubt declaring before dying:
364
01:08:56,233 --> 01:08:59,880
"But it's the Berezina!" And I said "the
next-to-the-last," because in order for
365
01:08:59,886 --> 01:09:04,606
humanity to be happy, the guts of the last
bureaucrat are reserved, as you know,
366
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:09,840
my friends, for hanging the last capitalist.
On this subject, the news from Paris,
367
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,786
Rome, Tokyo, New York is fabulous. The
old world seems to be in the process of
368
01:09:12,780 --> 01:09:17,266
being overturned. To judge by reading this
last dispatch, it would seem the proletariat
369
01:09:17,266 --> 01:09:21,066
has come to recognize itself. But, I'm
getting carried away: the unions have,
370
01:09:21,073 --> 01:09:24,853
for the time being, jammed up the
revolutionary victory. From now on,
371
01:09:24,860 --> 01:09:28,953
we must count on them to defend the old
world and must not forget the old dictum:
372
01:09:28,966 --> 01:09:33,120
"Those who speak of revolution and of
class struggle without explicitly referring
373
01:09:33,126 --> 01:09:37,960
to everyday life, without understanding
what is subversive in love and positive
374
01:09:37,966 --> 01:09:42,180
in the refusal of constraints,
have a corpse in their mouths."
375
01:09:52,146 --> 01:09:54,793
I'm taking advantage of them all being out
for a drink at the local bistro
376
01:09:54,806 --> 01:10:00,440
to include a phrase I had forgotten:
"Can permitted ecstasies be compared to
377
01:10:00,446 --> 01:10:07,320
those ecstasies which combine spicier
enticements -- those priceless ruptures
378
01:10:07,326 --> 01:10:10,120
of social restraints and the overthrow
of all laws?"
379
01:10:19,386 --> 01:10:22,733
A fine practice: not an eye for an eye,
but the whole ugly mug.
380
01:12:03,246 --> 01:12:07,540
We need hardly give instruction on the art
of evasion or the radical response.
381
01:12:07,546 --> 01:12:10,746
Say now, a bureaucrat
in a commonplace situation.
382
01:12:12,186 --> 01:12:14,293
Our friends will recognize themselves here.
383
01:13:30,480 --> 01:13:32,933
I've got Marchais and Seguy here.
Go for it!
384
01:14:17,006 --> 01:14:19,920
Now, how a rolling grandpa
swallows no moss...
385
01:14:29,046 --> 01:14:31,926
but gets his fill of bureaucrat
by using his head!
386
01:15:15,666 --> 01:15:19,400
And now: Prince Charming vs. Mr. Ugly.
387
01:15:21,373 --> 01:15:25,973
No suspense here. Anybody but a jerk
knows how this one will turn out.
388
01:15:31,806 --> 01:15:34,950
The white against the red:
you guess who's going to win.
389
01:16:00,406 --> 01:16:04,166
In its great series, "With Unequal
Weapons," L'Oiseau de Minerve presents
390
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:08,526
Dialectics Against Power, reduced to a few
images, since we aren't in the street.
391
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:14,420
Say, ideology's starting to ooze.
392
01:17:59,540 --> 01:18:02,753
Finally, this is getting serious.
What a fine-looking man!
393
01:18:13,346 --> 01:18:15,900
Presto change-o: 1-2-3
But ideology's still there.
394
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:49,500
Ok, enough. Finish off this scum.
395
01:19:12,846 --> 01:19:15,720
I've got such a crush on you,
I've got you under my skin.
396
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:54,006
You ok, gramps? And the others?
397
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:57,746
They're sick of dubbing dialogue tracks so
they're pretending to be dead.
398
01:19:58,313 --> 01:20:01,360
It's hard work, it seems, and
doesn't even pay the cab fare.
399
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,413
Maybe. Then our friends
aren't really dead?
400
01:20:03,413 --> 01:20:06,160
No, no. They're only pretending.
401
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,760
Nestor, answer me.
Tell me you're not dead.
402
01:20:26,653 --> 01:20:28,333
It was no sacrifice...
403
01:20:29,033 --> 01:20:32,106
For one of ours 100 of theirs!
God-fucking-dammit!
404
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:49,453
We took care of them.
We'll take care of the others.
405
01:20:49,460 --> 01:20:54,180
What kind of planet is this? No one will
remember this and we'll die here.
406
01:20:54,980 --> 01:20:58,220
We must settle our own affairs. From
Moscow to Tokyo, from Paris to New York
407
01:20:58,220 --> 01:21:03,373
this fucking planet's gonna explode. All
the exploiters will fall into our hands...
408
01:21:03,373 --> 01:21:09,246
even the reformists. But that's all for a
future film. To detourn a film is no longer
409
01:21:09,246 --> 01:21:13,486
enough --- How can we truly utilize
the cinema?
410
01:21:13,486 --> 01:21:17,286
L'Oiseau de Minerve has a few surprises
in store for us as night falls.
411
01:21:24,900 --> 01:21:28,286
The original detourned version
was realized with the help of:
412
01:21:28,293 --> 01:21:30,893
Raoul Cure, Jacques Thebeaut, Michelle Grellier
413
01:21:30,900 --> 01:21:34,846
Dominique Morin, Daniel Galle,
Patrick Deweare, Jean-Pierre Leroux
414
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:38,620
Yves-Maria Morin, Michel Bardelet,
Michel Elias and Dominique Page.
415
01:21:38,620 --> 01:21:40,713
Under the direction of
Gerald Cohen
416
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:50,773
Original subtitles by Keith Sanborn and Nathalie Borgers,
