2
00:03:27,457 --> 00:03:30,960
More, more, Mr. Walsh.
You got to kill them all.
3
00:03:31,211 --> 00:03:35,715
The last thing in the world you'd want
is to be captured by those heathen redskins.
4
00:03:38,677 --> 00:03:41,429
Rush to him, Miss Sampson.
Rush to your protector.
5
00:03:41,513 --> 00:03:43,723
Seek the shelter of his manly arms.
6
00:03:44,724 --> 00:03:45,892
True love, Adrian.
7
00:03:45,975 --> 00:03:49,479
True love laced with heartrending,
devotional gratitude.
8
00:03:50,313 --> 00:03:51,815
And cut.
9
00:03:53,024 --> 00:03:54,401
Cut, everybody.
10
00:03:54,526 --> 00:03:56,653
- Next setup, Charlie.
- Yes, Mr. Griffith.
11
00:04:00,615 --> 00:04:01,825
Go get those horses.
12
00:04:03,493 --> 00:04:05,912
I know you're freezing. We're all freezing.
13
00:04:12,627 --> 00:04:14,087
There he is, Frank.
14
00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:16,923
Ask him over, gently.
15
00:04:19,884 --> 00:04:21,928
Very good, my dear. Very good, indeed.
16
00:04:22,012 --> 00:04:23,430
Mr. Griffith, sir...
17
00:04:24,723 --> 00:04:27,517
Mr. Aitken's in the car.
He'd like to have a word with you.
18
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,270
- Duffy, how are we with Mr. Walsh?
- Hello.
19
00:04:30,353 --> 00:04:32,355
A bit higher than usual.
20
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:33,606
How about there?
21
00:04:33,690 --> 00:04:36,109
Be more generous with the blood.
Lay it on thick.
22
00:04:36,192 --> 00:04:38,570
He's over there, sir. Says that it's important.
23
00:04:38,653 --> 00:04:41,740
When will Mr. Aitken understand
that when Griffith is filming...
24
00:04:41,823 --> 00:04:44,451
nothing is of greater importance to Griffith?
25
00:04:49,164 --> 00:04:51,541
Sorry, David,
but we need to move fast on this...
26
00:04:51,624 --> 00:04:53,585
if you think it's worth moving at all.
27
00:04:53,668 --> 00:04:55,712
Eli Morton in our Texas office...
28
00:04:55,795 --> 00:04:58,631
went for some kind of press conference
over the border...
29
00:04:58,715 --> 00:05:00,800
pulled together by this Pancho Villa fellow...
30
00:05:00,884 --> 00:05:02,510
- Villa.
- The Pancho Villa?
31
00:05:02,594 --> 00:05:04,346
Right. According to Eli...
32
00:05:04,429 --> 00:05:08,099
Villa is offering exclusive rights
to any motion-picture company...
33
00:05:08,183 --> 00:05:10,852
interested in filming
his revolutionary army...
34
00:05:10,935 --> 00:05:13,313
- with the vision del norte...
- Del norte.
35
00:05:14,105 --> 00:05:17,233
...in action against the federal forces of,
who he calls...
36
00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:20,570
the despotic President of Mexico, Victorio...
37
00:05:20,653 --> 00:05:23,323
- Victoriano Huerta.
- Huerta, right.
38
00:05:23,573 --> 00:05:25,033
Villa's terms as follows.
39
00:05:25,116 --> 00:05:28,536
He's asking for $25,000 in advance
against 20% of the profits.
40
00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:31,164
- He wants the money in gold.
- Quite the horse trader.
41
00:05:31,247 --> 00:05:33,625
He's supposed to be some kind of Injun
or something.
42
00:05:33,708 --> 00:05:35,710
He's mestizo. It's a racial mix.
43
00:05:35,835 --> 00:05:37,504
Where'd you get all that stuff?
44
00:05:37,587 --> 00:05:41,675
Is it worth a shot? No story, no actors.
Just shooting an actual military scrap.
45
00:05:41,758 --> 00:05:44,678
- Just that, and that alone.
- Just filming men at war?
46
00:05:44,761 --> 00:05:47,430
Being allowed to place cameras
in the thick of battle?
47
00:05:47,514 --> 00:05:50,308
This may prove as much a revolution
for motion pictures...
48
00:05:50,392 --> 00:05:53,645
- as the one Villa is waging on the ground.
- Real death, real blood.
49
00:05:53,728 --> 00:05:56,272
People will get sick to their stomachs
with that show.
50
00:05:56,356 --> 00:05:57,691
Hold it a minute, Harry.
51
00:05:58,024 --> 00:06:00,026
Give her your gloves, will you?
52
00:06:00,944 --> 00:06:02,028
Excuse me.
53
00:06:05,407 --> 00:06:07,200
- Miss Sampson.
- Hello.
54
00:06:08,451 --> 00:06:11,955
I'm Frank Thayer.
I'm with the Mutual Company.
55
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:14,916
Mr. Griffith said that...
56
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:18,795
You're in charge of gloves, are you?
57
00:06:18,878 --> 00:06:22,590
Harry, thousands of words could be used
to describe individual achievements.
58
00:06:22,674 --> 00:06:25,093
But the historian's pen
over time will be no match...
59
00:06:25,176 --> 00:06:28,096
for the image the moviemaker captures
in the eye of his camera.
60
00:06:28,179 --> 00:06:31,307
20% of the profits for some guy
who's never done a movie before.
61
00:06:31,391 --> 00:06:32,767
There's not a day that passes...
62
00:06:32,892 --> 00:06:36,104
when this guy is not featured
on the front pages of the world press.
63
00:06:36,187 --> 00:06:39,774
The man is a star. And stars
are the mother's milk of box office.
64
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:44,154
You wouldn't consider going down there
and try getting us a better deal?
65
00:06:44,237 --> 00:06:48,116
A bird hasn't been bought yet that
D. W. Griffith couldn't charm down a tree.
66
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:52,203
Be serious. If all I've got to do
is setting up the California studio...
67
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:55,540
Just how competent would you say he is?
68
00:06:55,623 --> 00:06:57,876
You think he's ready
to do something useful?
69
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:01,129
- Who? Who are we talking about?
- Your nephew.
70
00:07:03,173 --> 00:07:04,507
Who, Frank?
71
00:07:05,175 --> 00:07:06,468
Anyone else bidding on the rights?
72
00:07:06,551 --> 00:07:07,761
- Hand me those.
- Thanks.
73
00:07:09,095 --> 00:07:13,099
Any other movie companies
showing an interest that you know of?
74
00:07:13,183 --> 00:07:14,726
We got the inside track.
75
00:07:14,809 --> 00:07:17,520
Money does a whole lot of talking
around here...
76
00:07:17,771 --> 00:07:20,607
- and the heavier it is, the better it's heard.
- Right.
77
00:07:20,690 --> 00:07:22,817
You gotta keep your wits about you
around here.
78
00:07:22,901 --> 00:07:25,236
- Yes, sir.
- First, number one thing to remember:
79
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,323
When you meet him,
never look Villa straight in the eye.
80
00:07:28,406 --> 00:07:30,825
You forget that,
you wake up deader than a doornail.
81
00:07:30,909 --> 00:07:32,952
And making any sudden moves
around him...
82
00:07:33,036 --> 00:07:35,747
that's another real good way
to get your scalp creased.
83
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:38,500
When do we actually meet? What's the plan?
84
00:07:38,583 --> 00:07:40,460
Villa calls the shots.
85
00:07:40,543 --> 00:07:44,547
Gotta work out how to slip over the border
and find out wherever he's hiding out.
86
00:07:44,631 --> 00:07:46,800
We have to be smuggled into Mexico?
87
00:07:46,883 --> 00:07:49,344
There ain't no "we" in that equation,
Mr. Thayer.
88
00:07:49,427 --> 00:07:52,222
Eli Morton has got a wife and kids
to think about.
89
00:07:54,974 --> 00:07:58,561
- That's not gunfire, is it?
- Step right this way, Mr. Thayer.
90
00:07:58,645 --> 00:08:01,648
Let's get you boys a ringside seat
at the Revolution.
91
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:07,445
Come on up.
92
00:08:07,612 --> 00:08:11,324
The chairs are in there. Come on, fellows.
Let's get a look.
93
00:08:11,574 --> 00:08:13,576
Let's go up to the front, come on.
94
00:08:13,785 --> 00:08:15,954
Let's go right up here. Excuse us for a sec.
95
00:08:16,037 --> 00:08:18,164
Colonel, how're you doing?
Do you mind? Thanks.
96
00:08:18,248 --> 00:08:21,376
These guys are from back East.
They've never seen... Thank you.
97
00:08:21,459 --> 00:08:23,169
Come here, step right up.
98
00:08:23,294 --> 00:08:24,504
There you go.
99
00:08:36,016 --> 00:08:37,142
Thank you.
100
00:08:47,944 --> 00:08:51,197
Feels almost like watching a show
from up here, doesn't it?
101
00:08:51,698 --> 00:08:54,200
Well, it's a bit more than playacting, sir.
102
00:08:54,409 --> 00:08:57,954
What you're watching is a dictatorship
in the throes of dying.
103
00:08:58,038 --> 00:09:00,040
Yielding up one life at a time.
104
00:09:02,292 --> 00:09:04,461
John Reed, Metropolitan Magazine.
105
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:06,671
Frank Thayer, Mutual Film Company.
106
00:09:06,755 --> 00:09:10,216
You're taking the bait, Mr. Thayer?
You're going to film the battle?
107
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:11,468
I'm going to try.
108
00:09:11,551 --> 00:09:13,636
Have a peek at your picture show.
109
00:09:30,904 --> 00:09:32,864
- It's my turn.
- Don't push.
110
00:09:37,285 --> 00:09:39,120
Look at that. To your left.
111
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:42,916
Hope you don't have any stock
in Doheny Oil, Mr. Thayer.
112
00:09:42,999 --> 00:09:44,292
Oh, God.
113
00:09:45,377 --> 00:09:49,089
Shows you what Pancho Villa thinks
of Americans owning Mexican oil.
114
00:09:49,381 --> 00:09:52,175
The bastard doesn't care
whose property he burns.
115
00:09:53,885 --> 00:09:57,097
There he is.
There's your bloody Robin Hood of Mexico.
116
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:13,590
What's he doing?
He's only taken half the town.
117
00:11:29,439 --> 00:11:31,524
- It's off to bed, fellows.
- Good night, Frank.
118
00:11:31,608 --> 00:11:33,443
- Get some sleep.
- Yeah.
119
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,996
Wait. I've never been on a horse.
120
00:11:45,538 --> 00:11:46,915
You will like it.
121
00:11:49,542 --> 00:11:50,669
Come on.
122
00:12:34,963 --> 00:12:37,590
He wants to know why the movies
sent him such a clown.
123
00:12:37,674 --> 00:12:40,927
He wants to know was Charlie Chaplin
too busy to show up down here?
124
00:12:42,345 --> 00:12:45,223
- He wants to know...
- Griffith wanted to come. He truly did.
125
00:12:45,306 --> 00:12:47,350
Only, he's kind of involved right now.
126
00:12:47,434 --> 00:12:50,562
And this guy's
just fucking around down here, right?
127
00:12:59,195 --> 00:13:02,615
He says he don't trust nobody
who don't look him straight in the eye.
128
00:13:02,699 --> 00:13:05,118
I was told that he would kill a man
for doing that.
129
00:13:05,201 --> 00:13:08,955
That's a pile of crap. They don't stop
telling stories about this guy.
130
00:13:13,126 --> 00:13:15,879
- What's that all over your tie?
- It's my school emblem.
131
00:13:16,963 --> 00:13:18,173
My college's.
132
00:13:24,346 --> 00:13:26,473
To which college do you go?
133
00:13:26,556 --> 00:13:29,142
Did, sir. Harvard in Boston.
134
00:13:29,392 --> 00:13:32,812
Si. That's the school
where you make presidents. Si?
135
00:13:33,063 --> 00:13:34,814
A few have attended, yes, sir.
136
00:13:34,898 --> 00:13:36,191
One day...
137
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:40,028
Pancho Villa will send his son
to Boston, Harvard.
138
00:13:47,702 --> 00:13:51,331
He says he's knocked out enough sons
to fill every college in America.
139
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:56,211
Is that the gold?
140
00:13:56,378 --> 00:13:59,673
Cash would have been a whole lot lighter,
I can assure you.
141
00:13:59,756 --> 00:14:04,511
The last person who tried to give him cash,
Pancho cleaned up his glasses with a bullet.
142
00:14:06,179 --> 00:14:08,890
- Your contrato?
- Yes, sir. It's right here, sir.
143
00:14:10,517 --> 00:14:12,143
Those are the glasses.
144
00:14:13,687 --> 00:14:15,397
One for you, one for me.
145
00:14:28,118 --> 00:14:30,870
Those actresses you work with,
they're like nurses, right?
146
00:14:30,954 --> 00:14:33,206
They got to have it all the time, don't they?
147
00:14:33,289 --> 00:14:34,749
I'm not sure that's really true.
148
00:14:34,833 --> 00:14:38,211
Yeah, right. Like you're not
jazzing your brains out, are you?
149
00:14:44,217 --> 00:14:45,260
What?
150
00:14:48,805 --> 00:14:52,225
What's this 10% of the profits bullshit?
His cut's supposed to be 20%.
151
00:14:52,308 --> 00:14:55,228
You lie to Pancho Villa,
you go back to Harvard in a box!
152
00:14:55,311 --> 00:14:59,941
Sir, that is a mistake. Somebody must have
changed the figures before I had a chance...
153
00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:05,655
It's just my pen.
154
00:15:07,574 --> 00:15:09,701
El plumo, or whatever you call it.
155
00:15:11,161 --> 00:15:14,122
Let me change all these 10s here
into 20s, okay?
156
00:15:16,332 --> 00:15:18,543
Here we are. Fixed.
157
00:15:19,210 --> 00:15:21,087
20%, 20%, 20%, 20%.
158
00:15:21,212 --> 00:15:23,590
See, you gotta understand.
He needs the money.
159
00:15:23,673 --> 00:15:25,592
With Wilson's goddamn embargo...
160
00:15:25,675 --> 00:15:27,927
you gotta go the black-market route
to get guns.
161
00:15:28,011 --> 00:15:30,722
It costs an arm and a leg
to kill somebody down here.
162
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:37,437
No, please.
163
00:15:40,482 --> 00:15:42,692
This pen has gone to college.
164
00:15:43,610 --> 00:15:46,279
It's for your son. Any of your sons.
165
00:15:49,532 --> 00:15:51,576
But your Senor Hearst...
166
00:15:51,993 --> 00:15:55,330
he only writes bad words about Pancho Villa
in sus peri�dicos.
167
00:15:55,413 --> 00:15:56,790
In his newspapers.
168
00:15:57,957 --> 00:15:59,793
People, I think...
169
00:16:00,085 --> 00:16:04,005
they believe more what they see
on the picture screen.
170
00:16:04,422 --> 00:16:08,593
When your President Wilson
sees my movie...
171
00:16:08,718 --> 00:16:11,221
he will know he must support Pancho Villa.
172
00:16:11,513 --> 00:16:14,182
He will see that Pancho Villa is a good guy.
173
00:16:14,265 --> 00:16:16,267
That he's not like Presidente Huerta.
174
00:16:18,603 --> 00:16:20,939
- That donkey fucker.
- Yeah, got it.
175
00:16:33,785 --> 00:16:36,705
I hope he's not gonna be offended.
I'm not much of a drinker.
176
00:16:36,788 --> 00:16:39,541
Don't worry about it.
He never touches the stuff.
177
00:16:40,959 --> 00:16:42,419
You are Frank.
178
00:16:42,669 --> 00:16:45,171
- That's your name?
- Frank Thayer, yes, sir.
179
00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:49,259
Pancho is also Frank. Pancho is Francisco.
180
00:16:49,342 --> 00:16:51,011
That's his real moniker.
181
00:16:54,472 --> 00:16:57,267
Tell me, what would you like,
Francisco Two?
182
00:16:57,892 --> 00:16:59,436
Lemon, vanilla.
183
00:17:09,571 --> 00:17:10,697
Thank you.
184
00:17:14,284 --> 00:17:16,244
I've never seen anyone like him.
185
00:17:16,327 --> 00:17:18,496
There is nobody like him, sonny boy.
186
00:17:18,580 --> 00:17:21,374
If there was, he would blow their brains out.
187
00:17:24,336 --> 00:17:26,755
- How do we do this?
- You got a plan, Frank?
188
00:17:26,838 --> 00:17:28,423
Besides praying a lot.
189
00:17:28,506 --> 00:17:32,218
I think you all just fan out.
Catch whatever you can.
190
00:17:32,886 --> 00:17:34,804
Other than bullets, you mean.
191
00:17:40,894 --> 00:17:43,980
Those crazy bastards are not gonna last
10 minutes out there.
192
00:17:52,030 --> 00:17:55,533
Gentlemen, the Mutual Film Company
is about to make history.
193
00:17:56,409 --> 00:17:59,496
Thanks to an exclusive arrangement
with Gen. Pancho Villa...
194
00:17:59,579 --> 00:18:02,082
who joins such illustrious Mutual artists...
195
00:18:02,165 --> 00:18:04,793
as Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford,
and Fatty Arbuckle...
196
00:18:04,876 --> 00:18:07,128
the public will, for the very first time...
197
00:18:07,212 --> 00:18:11,091
be treated to the thrills and chills
of an actual battlefield...
198
00:18:11,174 --> 00:18:13,927
as seen through the lens
of the motion picture camera.
199
00:18:36,741 --> 00:18:40,412
Are you worried about the physical danger
your people might be exposed to?
200
00:18:40,495 --> 00:18:44,165
Gen. Villa has assigned
his crack guards, his dorados...
201
00:18:44,249 --> 00:18:46,960
that's D-O-R-A-D-O-S...
202
00:18:47,043 --> 00:18:50,463
to guarantee the safety of each
and every one of our camera operators.
203
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:52,799
Set up in the doorway. Hurry!
204
00:18:54,551 --> 00:18:56,553
Turn around and film the gunner.
205
00:19:05,395 --> 00:19:08,982
Sir, you must be really devoted
to this cause!
206
00:19:09,190 --> 00:19:13,111
For $1,000 a month, there's nothing
Sam Drebben can't get devoted to.
207
00:19:13,194 --> 00:19:15,155
Plus all the gold teeth I can pull.
208
00:19:15,989 --> 00:19:17,741
Watch your ass, sonny boy.
209
00:19:22,829 --> 00:19:24,748
Another day, another dollar.
210
00:19:33,340 --> 00:19:34,841
Hearst Publications.
211
00:19:35,175 --> 00:19:38,178
You don't have any qualms
about manipulating public opinion...
212
00:19:38,261 --> 00:19:40,805
in favor of a man
many people consider to be...
213
00:19:40,889 --> 00:19:43,516
nothing more than a socialist rabble-rouser?
214
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,393
Unlike your employer Mr. Hearst...
215
00:19:45,477 --> 00:19:49,314
this company has no interest whatever
in meddling in politics...
216
00:19:49,397 --> 00:19:50,857
foreign or domestic.
217
00:19:51,274 --> 00:19:54,861
For the millions he's trying to free
of a cruel dictatorship...
218
00:19:54,944 --> 00:19:57,238
Pancho Villa hardly needs Mutual's help...
219
00:19:57,322 --> 00:20:00,533
to enhance his reputation
as the George Washington of Mexico.
220
00:20:23,890 --> 00:20:25,558
Bloody hell!
221
00:20:29,854 --> 00:20:32,273
Francisco, you're not dead yet?
222
00:20:32,357 --> 00:20:33,566
Still alive, sir.
223
00:21:31,499 --> 00:21:33,793
These are just civilians, aren't they?
224
00:21:34,878 --> 00:21:38,048
Yeah. You make the mistake
of supporting Pancho Villa...
225
00:21:38,131 --> 00:21:40,258
you wind up being a tree ornament.
226
00:22:09,746 --> 00:22:11,039
Saves ammunition.
227
00:22:12,665 --> 00:22:14,000
Captain's mine.
228
00:22:25,637 --> 00:22:27,097
Next patient.
229
00:23:20,108 --> 00:23:23,278
The kid's gonna have a playmate soon.
Somebody knocked her up.
230
00:23:34,039 --> 00:23:35,540
- That figures.
- What?
231
00:23:35,915 --> 00:23:37,584
The Father's the father.
232
00:23:43,298 --> 00:23:47,677
He's swearing to take care of the kid
and the baby however long they need it for.
233
00:24:16,998 --> 00:24:18,083
Hi, Charlie.
234
00:24:20,877 --> 00:24:24,047
Good work, Frank.
You didn't get in my way once.
235
00:24:24,214 --> 00:24:25,548
Thank you, Hennie.
236
00:24:26,383 --> 00:24:28,677
And how did it feel today, Mr. Thayer?
237
00:24:29,135 --> 00:24:31,846
Being smack in the middle
of the killing ground.
238
00:24:32,097 --> 00:24:35,392
It's shameful to admit
how exciting I found it.
239
00:24:35,892 --> 00:24:38,019
That's strictly a survivor's sensation.
240
00:24:38,311 --> 00:24:41,147
Someone else's death
serving as your own reprieve.
241
00:24:41,981 --> 00:24:44,150
You're in good company, Mr. Thayer.
242
00:24:44,484 --> 00:24:46,986
Shamelessness has a big following
down here.
243
00:24:48,071 --> 00:24:52,117
Bank robbers, painters, poets,
soldiers of fortune.
244
00:24:52,659 --> 00:24:55,495
Enough anarchists to blow up Wall Street
10 times over.
245
00:24:55,704 --> 00:24:57,497
Healing Jews and fighting Jews.
246
00:24:57,580 --> 00:24:59,958
Maurice Grossbaum,
a surgeon from Indiana.
247
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:03,003
Sam Drebben,
machine-gunner from the Bronx.
248
00:25:05,130 --> 00:25:07,674
Gen. Angeles came over from the Federales.
249
00:25:07,966 --> 00:25:11,469
Studied von Clausewitz,
well-read, an idealist.
250
00:25:12,095 --> 00:25:14,514
He's the other side of the peso
to Gen. Fierro.
251
00:25:14,681 --> 00:25:18,768
He gets really ugly unless he kills
at least one prisoner before breakfast.
252
00:25:19,352 --> 00:25:21,855
From the merely curious
to the merely morbid.
253
00:25:22,772 --> 00:25:24,691
All of this in Villa's orbit.
254
00:25:24,983 --> 00:25:26,818
All of this in Villa's thrall.
255
00:25:53,845 --> 00:25:57,724
You take home a nice recuerdo,
verdad, amigo? A souvenir.
256
00:25:58,224 --> 00:25:59,809
But be careful...
257
00:26:00,060 --> 00:26:04,022
should they give you some crawly souvenir
in your underwear.
258
00:26:19,245 --> 00:26:21,664
Her husband got killed in the fighting today.
259
00:26:22,999 --> 00:26:24,501
And her youngest son, too.
260
00:26:28,254 --> 00:26:29,506
Get this.
261
00:26:36,721 --> 00:26:40,266
He just gave her more money
than her old man saw in his entire life.
262
00:26:43,395 --> 00:26:46,439
What will they think, my American friends...
263
00:26:46,523 --> 00:26:48,983
when they see the movie of Pancho Villa?
264
00:26:49,109 --> 00:26:52,278
I think Mr. Doheny
is gonna be very impressed indeed.
265
00:26:58,118 --> 00:27:00,453
He worships the ground that is Mexico.
266
00:27:00,578 --> 00:27:02,831
Doheny worships what's underneath it.
267
00:27:02,956 --> 00:27:07,252
Your Senor Hearst
is also muy nervioso. Sientense.
268
00:27:07,877 --> 00:27:09,170
Very nervous.
269
00:27:09,671 --> 00:27:12,424
You know how much
he owns of Mexico, Francisco?
270
00:27:12,632 --> 00:27:14,718
Senor Hearst. You know how many acres?
271
00:27:16,636 --> 00:27:17,971
More like 8 million.
272
00:27:18,179 --> 00:27:19,681
8 million acres?
273
00:27:20,140 --> 00:27:23,685
How many head of cattle
have you stolen from him? 60,000, he says.
274
00:27:24,561 --> 00:27:27,480
You are loco, Juanito. 60,000.
275
00:27:27,564 --> 00:27:31,526
50,000, maybe. Maybe 50,000 at most.
276
00:27:33,653 --> 00:27:36,322
So, Francisco, today was not too...
277
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,579
- Boring.
- Boring. It was not too boring?
278
00:27:42,662 --> 00:27:45,749
You became more a man a little,
I think, today.
279
00:27:46,166 --> 00:27:49,669
- Maybe you and your amigos...
- Yeah, I'd say we had a good start.
280
00:27:50,337 --> 00:27:54,174
Today I think they found,
a little bit, their huevos.
281
00:27:54,841 --> 00:27:56,968
Even though a few of them got a little wet.
282
00:27:57,052 --> 00:27:58,094
Yes.
283
00:28:12,650 --> 00:28:13,902
You will help.
284
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,370
You'll help Americans know
that hope does not stop at the border.
285
00:28:23,453 --> 00:28:25,288
It's my Virgin of Guadalupe.
286
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,500
I'm deeply honored, sir.
287
00:28:29,876 --> 00:28:31,378
He says you should be.
288
00:28:34,839 --> 00:28:37,384
You've got the only virgin left around here.
289
00:28:51,648 --> 00:28:53,983
Please bear in mind
that our camera operators...
290
00:28:54,067 --> 00:28:57,153
had to constantly deal
with movement of men and horses...
291
00:28:57,237 --> 00:29:00,740
exploding bombs, clouds of gunpowder.
292
00:29:00,990 --> 00:29:03,284
But what you're looking at is,
without a doubt...
293
00:29:03,368 --> 00:29:07,789
never-before-seen footage of live action
shot on an actual field of battle.
294
00:29:07,872 --> 00:29:10,917
Never-before-seen footage?
You still can't see it.
295
00:29:16,715 --> 00:29:20,593
They'd have bit the dust a lot better
if D.W. Griffith had directed it.
296
00:29:22,554 --> 00:29:26,266
Let me assure you that every one
of these men and women, and every child...
297
00:29:26,349 --> 00:29:28,601
died in the very best way that they could.
298
00:29:32,022 --> 00:29:35,316
There he is, boys, on motion-picture film
for all the world to see:
299
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,193
Gen. Pancho Villa.
300
00:30:07,140 --> 00:30:08,767
Despite its technical flaws...
301
00:30:08,850 --> 00:30:11,061
clearly more people
would discover Pancho Villa...
302
00:30:11,144 --> 00:30:13,313
from a few feet of this crude, historic film...
303
00:30:13,396 --> 00:30:16,191
than from the reams that are written
about his struggle...
304
00:30:16,274 --> 00:30:19,069
to rid Mexico of its greedy robber barons...
305
00:30:19,152 --> 00:30:21,654
the only ones to profit
from their cozy marriage...
306
00:30:21,738 --> 00:30:23,823
with rapacious American interests.
307
00:30:23,907 --> 00:30:28,203
Unfortunately, not everyone happens to be
the socialist-lover that John Reed is.
308
00:30:28,661 --> 00:30:32,123
Hearst, no surprise,
is putting our nuts through a wringer.
309
00:30:32,332 --> 00:30:33,416
Pardon me.
310
00:30:34,209 --> 00:30:36,169
With all he's got invested in Mexico...
311
00:30:36,252 --> 00:30:39,172
Hearst stands to lose
one or two of his fortunes down there.
312
00:30:39,255 --> 00:30:42,634
Speak up, Harry.
We're a whole country apart, for God's sake.
313
00:30:42,717 --> 00:30:43,885
Listen to this.
314
00:30:43,968 --> 00:30:46,388
"Pandering to Villa's overblown vanity...
315
00:30:46,471 --> 00:30:49,265
"the perpetrators
of this clumsy excuse of a film..."
316
00:30:49,349 --> 00:30:51,768
"...clearly demonstrate
they were more interested...
317
00:30:51,851 --> 00:30:53,770
"in selling tickets to a gullible public...
318
00:30:53,853 --> 00:30:55,605
"than in telling the real truth..."
319
00:30:55,689 --> 00:30:57,273
I'll take the pastrami on rye.
320
00:30:57,357 --> 00:30:59,859
"...the real truth
about the self-styled Gen. Villa...
321
00:30:59,943 --> 00:31:03,446
"and his ragtag army with nary
a piece of modern artillery to its name."
322
00:31:03,530 --> 00:31:05,990
Lt'd be more productive
for you to read the want ads.
323
00:31:06,074 --> 00:31:09,077
You know what's so galling about all this?
It's all true.
324
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,204
We had so little control
over what happened.
325
00:31:11,287 --> 00:31:14,374
Villa comes off as some kind of simple,
starstruck cowboy.
326
00:31:14,457 --> 00:31:15,709
Give me the strudel.
327
00:31:15,792 --> 00:31:18,712
We didn't offer a clue to his complexity,
to his greatness.
328
00:31:18,795 --> 00:31:20,547
What a movie that would make.
329
00:31:20,630 --> 00:31:24,509
This would all be better said
to someone with a checkbook, wouldn't it?
330
00:31:26,302 --> 00:31:28,847
He's been beaten and tortured all his life.
331
00:31:28,930 --> 00:31:31,641
They say that he still has whip scars
across his back.
332
00:31:31,725 --> 00:31:33,852
He was a convict before he turned 20.
333
00:31:33,935 --> 00:31:35,020
It's midnight.
334
00:31:35,103 --> 00:31:38,231
Before he was 12,
he was already being hunted by the law.
335
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,276
Now there are places in Mexico
where he is the law.
336
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:43,361
Don't make me fire you twice in one week.
337
00:31:43,445 --> 00:31:47,073
He's the James Boys, he's Billy the Kid,
he's Napoleon...
338
00:31:47,157 --> 00:31:48,408
all rolled into one.
339
00:31:48,491 --> 00:31:52,203
But he asks nothing for himself.
He takes nothing.
340
00:31:52,454 --> 00:31:56,249
He builds schools where there were none.
He seizes the homes of the wealthy.
341
00:31:56,332 --> 00:31:59,461
He redistributes the land.
He gives it to the poor. He feeds them.
342
00:31:59,544 --> 00:32:01,463
He even prints his own money.
343
00:32:01,713 --> 00:32:04,341
Prints his own money?
The man's not all bad, is he?
344
00:32:04,424 --> 00:32:07,761
Tell me that this material would not make
a fantastic moving picture.
345
00:32:07,844 --> 00:32:10,764
Forget it. The Times said the one we made...
346
00:32:10,847 --> 00:32:14,267
Iooked like a high-school play
that couldn't afford the costumes.
347
00:32:14,351 --> 00:32:17,937
For my money, and that's sure as hell
what every penny of it was...
348
00:32:18,021 --> 00:32:20,440
we gave Pancho Villa more than his shot.
349
00:32:20,523 --> 00:32:23,985
- But we didn't. That's the whole point.
- Be realistic.
350
00:32:24,069 --> 00:32:27,781
You'd never crowd all that stuff
into a two-reeler, not in a million years.
351
00:32:27,864 --> 00:32:29,741
I'd make it more like seven.
352
00:32:30,450 --> 00:32:33,203
- Seven reels?
- Seven reels.
353
00:32:33,286 --> 00:32:36,331
Did you smoke some of that funny stuff
down in Mexico, Frank?
354
00:32:36,414 --> 00:32:37,916
Who in their right minds...
355
00:32:37,999 --> 00:32:41,252
is gonna wanna sit through a movie
that runs for over an hour?
356
00:32:41,336 --> 00:32:44,297
There's never a first until someone tries.
357
00:32:44,589 --> 00:32:48,134
Don't give me fortune cookies
in the middle of the night, Frank.
358
00:32:48,259 --> 00:32:50,303
And seven reels is a whale of a show...
359
00:32:50,387 --> 00:32:53,181
you're ready to give away
for a nickel a ticket.
360
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,058
Then double it.
361
00:32:56,685 --> 00:32:57,811
Double it?
362
00:32:59,729 --> 00:33:01,898
- A dime a ticket?
- A dime a ticket.
363
00:33:02,190 --> 00:33:04,234
One good first deserves another.
364
00:33:06,111 --> 00:33:08,822
- These are exciting thoughts, Frank.
- They are.
365
00:33:09,698 --> 00:33:12,992
- I'm definitely getting excited.
- Don't let me stop you.
366
00:33:16,413 --> 00:33:19,207
If only they didn't all look
so crummy down there.
367
00:33:19,290 --> 00:33:21,835
For 10 cents,
people are gonna wanna see a lot more...
368
00:33:21,918 --> 00:33:24,754
than a bunch of barefoot buggers
jumping around in the cactus.
369
00:33:24,838 --> 00:33:27,382
We can help them look better.
I know we can.
370
00:33:27,882 --> 00:33:30,385
I have to run this past D.W., of course.
371
00:33:31,136 --> 00:33:34,264
He'll see the possibilities in a minute.
I promise you.
372
00:33:34,347 --> 00:33:36,683
The Life of General Villa.
373
00:33:59,581 --> 00:34:00,623
Okay.
374
00:34:28,777 --> 00:34:30,653
Hey, you moron, watch the vase!
375
00:37:43,430 --> 00:37:46,016
- Hello, sir.
- Francisco Two.
376
00:37:46,725 --> 00:37:49,894
- Do I know you were coming?
- I sent a telegram.
377
00:37:50,186 --> 00:37:53,023
When I see it, then I will know you are here.
378
00:37:54,315 --> 00:37:57,569
- I missed you many times, mi amigo.
- I've missed you.
379
00:37:57,652 --> 00:37:59,154
Yeah, good. Bueno.
380
00:37:59,237 --> 00:38:01,698
The Virgin, does she answer your prayers?
381
00:38:03,116 --> 00:38:05,035
Not with my Spanish, she doesn't.
382
00:38:05,118 --> 00:38:08,788
It's not Spanish. Never Spanish. Mexicano.
383
00:38:09,372 --> 00:38:12,876
There are two things
Spain give to my people:
384
00:38:13,418 --> 00:38:15,712
The church and the weapon.
385
00:38:17,714 --> 00:38:19,341
You should write a book.
386
00:38:19,799 --> 00:38:22,469
Maybe I have to read one or two first.
387
00:38:33,396 --> 00:38:35,106
This is the battle?
388
00:38:37,901 --> 00:38:39,235
So much there.
389
00:38:40,820 --> 00:38:42,405
Two little circles.
390
00:38:44,491 --> 00:38:45,700
Magic.
391
00:38:47,744 --> 00:38:50,455
Tomorrow, we must liberate
a projector somewhere.
392
00:38:50,747 --> 00:38:52,457
Tell me, are you hungry, thirsty?
393
00:38:54,709 --> 00:38:56,419
House of great wealth.
394
00:38:56,586 --> 00:38:58,296
Not one drop of ice cream.
395
00:39:07,305 --> 00:39:10,934
If my father saw us here,
me and my brother, he would say:
396
00:39:12,519 --> 00:39:14,270
Before your head grows a boot.
397
00:39:16,231 --> 00:39:17,941
A room like this.
398
00:39:18,024 --> 00:39:20,735
Such a room could be only for a don.
399
00:39:22,362 --> 00:39:23,822
Or for a foreigner.
400
00:39:28,993 --> 00:39:31,621
Into a room like this,
my father could only crawl...
401
00:39:31,705 --> 00:39:35,291
to beg for some food for himself,
for his family.
402
00:39:38,628 --> 00:39:42,674
There are books here
that weigh more than he did when he died.
403
00:39:46,261 --> 00:39:49,014
Welcome back to Mexico.
404
00:40:06,656 --> 00:40:08,992
- Are you all right, Francisco?
- Yes, thanks.
405
00:40:09,075 --> 00:40:10,994
Is the horse riding you well?
406
00:40:13,246 --> 00:40:15,498
You did not come all this way...
407
00:40:16,041 --> 00:40:18,835
only to bring me my film, right?
408
00:40:25,175 --> 00:40:28,386
Another movie? You want to make
another movie with Pancho Villa?
409
00:40:28,470 --> 00:40:31,097
Yes, sir. Same deal as last time.
Same money.
410
00:40:33,433 --> 00:40:36,478
Your President Wilson
has lifted the arms embargo.
411
00:40:37,187 --> 00:40:39,981
Money is not a problem
for Pancho Villa anymore.
412
00:40:40,940 --> 00:40:45,111
Tell me, has there ever been
a movie of Don Quixote, do you know?
413
00:40:45,528 --> 00:40:47,739
No, not that I know of. No, sir.
414
00:40:48,531 --> 00:40:50,450
Not one movie of Don Quixote?
415
00:40:50,825 --> 00:40:53,578
And Senor Aitken wants to make
two of Pancho Villa.
416
00:40:53,661 --> 00:40:57,374
We believe that this story, this photoplay...
417
00:40:57,457 --> 00:40:59,417
will greatly enhance your popularity...
418
00:40:59,501 --> 00:41:02,212
and it's gonna go a long way
to helping the Revolution.
419
00:41:02,295 --> 00:41:04,881
You still have a lot of enemies
in high places though.
420
00:41:04,964 --> 00:41:08,968
Yeah. That's the best place for enemies,
high up where you can see them.
421
00:41:10,637 --> 00:41:12,806
You'd be doing me a very big favor.
422
00:41:12,889 --> 00:41:15,183
Remember Don Quixote, mi amigo.
423
00:41:18,311 --> 00:41:20,522
A man must not fight windmills.
424
00:41:29,072 --> 00:41:31,157
Villa positively not interested.
425
00:41:32,033 --> 00:41:34,077
Returning New York immediately.
426
00:41:34,411 --> 00:41:36,830
Awfully sorry. Did my level best.
427
00:41:36,996 --> 00:41:38,581
Frank N. Thayer.
428
00:41:38,832 --> 00:41:40,250
"N" for "nephew."
429
00:42:09,779 --> 00:42:11,197
You're welcome.
430
00:42:12,615 --> 00:42:15,827
Don't give me that happy-peon lark.
You're on my land.
431
00:42:16,119 --> 00:42:17,787
You and the other bloody bandidos...
432
00:42:17,871 --> 00:42:21,958
think you can just ride off here
with my horses and my guns, amigo?
433
00:42:22,417 --> 00:42:23,460
No.
434
00:42:24,627 --> 00:42:28,465
Soldiers of Pancho Villa are no bandidos.
435
00:42:30,967 --> 00:42:34,137
You've been robbing me blind
and you bloody well know it.
436
00:42:34,220 --> 00:42:36,014
Five thousand head of my cattle...
437
00:42:36,097 --> 00:42:38,308
and not so much as
one bloody fucking peso.
438
00:42:38,391 --> 00:42:39,809
Thank you very much.
439
00:42:39,893 --> 00:42:44,147
These tinhorn bean-ocrats down here
may put up with the crap you dish out.
440
00:42:44,397 --> 00:42:47,817
But you've finished shitting
on this white man. Comprende?
441
00:44:25,707 --> 00:44:28,335
Did you read Hearst today?
442
00:44:29,127 --> 00:44:30,754
I've got it right here.
443
00:44:30,962 --> 00:44:35,258
"The cold-blooded murder in Mexico
of English ranch owner William Benton...
444
00:44:35,342 --> 00:44:39,637
"that was the latest example of the socialist
Villa's rabid hatred of foreigners...
445
00:44:39,804 --> 00:44:42,474
"reinforces the Hearst
Corporation's demand...
446
00:44:42,557 --> 00:44:45,810
"that the civilized nations of the world

447
00:44:45,894 --> 00:44:49,731
"to introduce the self-styled General
to the business end of a rope."
448
00:45:41,658 --> 00:45:42,784
Mr. Aitken.
449
00:46:06,891 --> 00:46:09,227
Does the General have any questions?
450
00:46:09,477 --> 00:46:11,563
The General has no questions.
451
00:46:11,646 --> 00:46:13,940
"Whenever engaging the enemy,
you guarantee..."
452
00:46:14,024 --> 00:46:17,110
- That's you, sir.
- I know I am "you."
453
00:46:17,736 --> 00:46:21,197
"...you guarantee that any fighting
by the forces under your command...
454
00:46:21,281 --> 00:46:25,160
"will occur only between the daylight hours
of 9:00 a.m. And 5:00 p.m."
455
00:46:26,578 --> 00:46:27,662
Agreed.
456
00:46:27,746 --> 00:46:30,498
"There is to be
no night combat whatsoever...
457
00:46:30,582 --> 00:46:32,834
"and the Mutual Company," that's us...
458
00:46:32,917 --> 00:46:34,753
"is to be informed and consulted...
459
00:46:34,836 --> 00:46:37,547
"as to the nature
of any and all military engagements."
460
00:46:37,630 --> 00:46:42,260
Si, cut, print, iris in, iris out, pan...
It's muy simple.
461
00:46:44,262 --> 00:46:45,722
Very good, sir.
462
00:46:45,930 --> 00:46:48,683
"In the event that a major exchange
cannot be filmed...
463
00:46:48,767 --> 00:46:52,729
"you will agree to restage such battles,
or stage new ones as may be necessary...
464
00:46:52,812 --> 00:46:55,231

"For its part, the Mutual Company

466
00:47:09,162 --> 00:47:10,205
Problem?
467
00:47:10,288 --> 00:47:13,792
He wants to make sure
Frank's gonna be working on this one, too.
468
00:47:13,875 --> 00:47:16,795
No Francisco, no Francisco.
469
00:47:18,213 --> 00:47:19,756
I promise you, General...
470
00:47:19,839 --> 00:47:24,094
this fine young man is gonna be with you
every damn momentum of the day.
471
00:47:24,344 --> 00:47:27,472
Whatever you need, whatever you want,
this is gonna be your man.
472
00:47:27,555 --> 00:47:29,391
Every bit as he's gonna be mine.
473
00:47:31,810 --> 00:47:33,353
It's right here, sir.
474
00:47:37,649 --> 00:47:39,609
$25,000, as before.
475
00:47:40,318 --> 00:47:42,237
I take it we have a deal, sir.
476
00:47:46,324 --> 00:47:48,076
The soldiers of Pancho Villa...
477
00:47:48,159 --> 00:47:51,788
have left behind many huerfanos y viudas.
478
00:47:52,664 --> 00:47:54,290
Lots of widows and orphans.
479
00:47:54,374 --> 00:47:56,084
He's up to his ass in them.
480
00:47:56,501 --> 00:47:59,170
They are very sad. They're very poor.
481
00:47:59,254 --> 00:48:00,922
The General is most sensitive.
482
00:48:03,758 --> 00:48:07,679
A leader must be muy sensitive.
483
00:48:11,016 --> 00:48:14,728
You must give to Pancho Villa,
when into Mexico City...
484
00:48:15,186 --> 00:48:16,855
after the Revolution...
485
00:48:19,691 --> 00:48:21,526
- A print?
- A print.
486
00:48:24,404 --> 00:48:25,905
He wants his own print.
487
00:48:26,197 --> 00:48:28,825
I think he wants to have
his own premiere here.
488
00:48:30,535 --> 00:48:33,079
Pancho Villa, too, needs nickels.
489
00:48:33,705 --> 00:48:36,750
Many nickels for those who lost so much...
490
00:48:36,833 --> 00:48:40,086
and for those who lost so many.
491
00:48:41,004 --> 00:48:45,091
I will be very happy to write that
into the agreement this very minute, sir.
492
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,220
No es necesario, my good sir.
493
00:48:49,804 --> 00:48:52,932
For Pancho Villa, your hand is your word.
494
00:48:56,227 --> 00:48:58,480
Certainly. Of course.
495
00:48:59,689 --> 00:49:01,274
It's my pleasure, sir.
496
00:49:59,290 --> 00:50:01,835
- Hiya, Duffy.
- Hey, Frank.
497
00:50:01,918 --> 00:50:04,754
- Everything okay? Nice to see you.
- At least we made it.
498
00:50:05,255 --> 00:50:07,007
Hi, Charlie, how are you?
499
00:50:10,385 --> 00:50:13,179
- Where's the Scotch, Frank?
- Didn't you bring it?
500
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,682
I see you've got gloves this time.
501
00:50:16,182 --> 00:50:18,393
- Welcome to Mexico.
- Thank you.
502
00:50:24,691 --> 00:50:25,942
Gen. Villa...
503
00:50:27,652 --> 00:50:30,613
please allow me to introduce our director.
504
00:50:30,697 --> 00:50:33,033
This is Mr. William Christy Cabanne.
505
00:50:33,366 --> 00:50:35,577
I am so looking forward, sir.
506
00:50:36,703 --> 00:50:40,415
And this is Miss Teddy Sampson
who will play the role of your sister.
507
00:50:44,544 --> 00:50:47,422
And this is Miss Irene Hunt
who will be your mother.
508
00:50:55,638 --> 00:50:58,350
And Charlie Rositer of course you know
from Ojinaga.
509
00:50:58,433 --> 00:51:00,769
Are your huevos all dry now, Charlie?
510
00:51:00,894 --> 00:51:02,187
For the moment.
511
00:51:04,939 --> 00:51:07,817
And this, sir, is Mr. Raoul Walsh.
512
00:51:08,109 --> 00:51:09,152
General.
513
00:51:09,235 --> 00:51:11,613
He'll be playing the young Pancho Villa.
514
00:51:11,780 --> 00:51:13,406
Tell me, Raoul Walsh...
515
00:51:14,115 --> 00:51:16,743
you know even
which end of the horse shits?
516
00:52:23,977 --> 00:52:25,311
You can be me.
517
00:52:26,479 --> 00:52:30,191
Okay, Carl, camera. And action.
518
00:52:32,944 --> 00:52:34,529
And say goodbye, Mom.
519
00:52:34,946 --> 00:52:38,283
Very nice, yes.
Sis, go get you a little of that.
520
00:52:40,452 --> 00:52:42,495
And lovely. Okay.
521
00:52:43,496 --> 00:52:45,874
And it's farewell, Pancho. Let's go.
522
00:52:46,666 --> 00:52:48,168
And he goes.
523
00:52:51,296 --> 00:52:53,214
And cut! Okay.
524
00:52:54,466 --> 00:52:55,550
Very nice.
525
00:52:56,092 --> 00:52:58,887
Little more of a routine goodbye, Raoul.
526
00:52:59,929 --> 00:53:02,349
Listen, your character
has no way of knowing...
527
00:53:02,432 --> 00:53:04,684
what tragic events the day's gonna bring.
528
00:53:04,768 --> 00:53:07,979
- So keep it big, make it small, okay?
- Christy, I want...
529
00:53:08,063 --> 00:53:11,316
Adrian, give me a wee bit less.
Just hearts, no flowers.
530
00:53:11,399 --> 00:53:12,484
- Okay?
- Yes, sir.
531
00:53:12,567 --> 00:53:13,693
Uno mas, people.
532
00:53:14,194 --> 00:53:18,239
As pronto as possible por favor, makeup.
Okay, let's go, people.
533
00:53:18,615 --> 00:53:22,285
- I was just thinking that maybe...
- No, don't think, darling. Just act.
534
00:53:22,410 --> 00:53:24,245
Let's just make a movie here.
535
00:53:24,329 --> 00:53:27,624
That's enough, okay?
Look, he's a Mexican. Mexicans sweat.
536
00:53:27,707 --> 00:53:29,292
He's fine. Leave him alone.
537
00:53:29,376 --> 00:53:31,878
- Carl, crank them.
- Okay.
538
00:53:33,046 --> 00:53:35,006
And from the kiss, por favor.
539
00:53:35,382 --> 00:53:37,175
And action.
540
00:53:37,926 --> 00:53:40,887
Much better. And sis...
541
00:53:41,388 --> 00:53:42,514
Lovely.
542
00:53:42,681 --> 00:53:45,016
Okay, and farewell, Pancho.
543
00:53:45,433 --> 00:53:47,852
Off he goes. Goodbye, Pancho.
544
00:53:48,103 --> 00:53:51,648
That's good.
One last look at Mom and Sis. A fond look.
545
00:53:51,773 --> 00:53:53,358
Fond!
546
00:53:54,442 --> 00:53:57,237
You love them. Good.
Wham-bam, out the door.
547
00:53:57,612 --> 00:53:59,280
And, perfect!
548
00:53:59,572 --> 00:54:01,157
Cut, print. Beautiful!
549
00:54:01,449 --> 00:54:02,575
Next setup.
550
00:54:03,201 --> 00:54:07,580
"Unquestionably the most expensive and
longest motion picture ever contemplated."
551
00:54:07,914 --> 00:54:10,583
So reads
the Mutual Film Company publicity.
552
00:54:10,667 --> 00:54:13,461
An unprecedented seven 15-minute reels...
553
00:54:13,586 --> 00:54:16,965
two of which will be filmed
during the upcoming battle of Torre�n...
554
00:54:17,048 --> 00:54:19,551
for which Villa's forces are now preparing.
555
00:54:23,763 --> 00:54:26,766
Mutual Company promises
an additional 5 reels...
556
00:54:26,850 --> 00:54:29,269
devoted to a specially written photoplay.
557
00:54:29,352 --> 00:54:32,731
The Factual Story
of the Heroic Life of Pancho Villa.
558
00:54:35,942 --> 00:54:38,153
Every page is a page of lies.
559
00:54:41,906 --> 00:54:43,366
I don't understand.
560
00:54:43,616 --> 00:54:45,368
Mierda means "shit."
561
00:54:45,618 --> 00:54:48,121
I know that.
I just don't know why you say that...
562
00:54:48,204 --> 00:54:52,625
"Pancho Villa becomes an outlaw when
the Federales take away his father's land."
563
00:54:53,251 --> 00:54:55,837
The land of Pancho Villa's father
was his grave!
564
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,257
Mr. Aitken feels that's more colorful.
That's only dramatic license.
565
00:54:59,341 --> 00:55:00,884
It is a license to lie!
566
00:55:00,967 --> 00:55:03,428
- You don't understand.
- Yes, I understand.
567
00:55:04,012 --> 00:55:06,431
I understand that never does Pancho Villa...
568
00:55:06,514 --> 00:55:09,768
want the world to see his sister Mariana
raped by Federales.
569
00:55:09,851 --> 00:55:12,228
But that's what turned you into a rebel.
570
00:55:12,854 --> 00:55:15,065
I know why I became what I became.
571
00:55:15,357 --> 00:55:19,527
Pancho Villa does not have to see a movie
to find out who is Pancho Villa.
572
00:55:22,822 --> 00:55:24,199
Presidente Villa.
573
00:55:24,282 --> 00:55:26,701
From where does this fantasia come?
574
00:55:27,494 --> 00:55:29,537
You have learned nothing from Juan Reed.
575
00:55:29,621 --> 00:55:33,041
- There will never be a Presidente Villa.
- But there could be.
576
00:55:33,124 --> 00:55:35,710
The Revoluci�n
is to feed the people's hungry bellies...
577
00:55:35,794 --> 00:55:39,798
- not the ambition of Pancho Villa.
- All right, but it's a wonderful scene.
578
00:55:47,764 --> 00:55:50,767
Okay, we can make it a dream sequence.
579
00:55:51,059 --> 00:55:52,268
Pancho Villa's dream...
580
00:55:52,352 --> 00:55:55,230
is for a man of education
to be presidente of Mexico.
581
00:55:55,313 --> 00:55:58,733
Your Presidente Wilson,
he was a professor, si?
582
00:55:59,234 --> 00:56:02,278
Pancho Villa is a professor
of horses and soldiers.
583
00:56:02,570 --> 00:56:06,741
See, that's exactly what General Grant was,
and he became president.
584
00:56:07,951 --> 00:56:09,536
That drunk dogface.
585
00:56:09,828 --> 00:56:12,914
He killed Mexicanos
like he killed his whiskey bottles.
586
00:56:13,331 --> 00:56:14,457
I had no idea.
587
00:56:14,541 --> 00:56:18,086
No, in your history books
there are no bad Americanos.
588
00:56:19,462 --> 00:56:21,214
He came before there was oil to steal.
589
00:56:21,297 --> 00:56:25,385
He came for the gold. He came for the silver.
He came for the azucar. Es un insulto.
590
00:56:25,468 --> 00:56:28,888
You want to shoot the battle of Torre�n,
you bring your cameras there.
591
00:56:28,972 --> 00:56:32,267
You don't shoot the life of Pancho Villa
that he has never lived.
592
00:56:32,350 --> 00:56:34,936
Mutual has a fortune sunk into this.
593
00:56:35,020 --> 00:56:37,272
Lies are expensive, Francisco.
594
00:56:38,815 --> 00:56:42,819
Senor Aitken, he tells to the world
he will tell the truth about Pancho Villa.
595
00:56:45,488 --> 00:56:48,241
Esta basura! This is fake garbage!
596
00:56:55,206 --> 00:56:56,791
May I ask you, sir...
597
00:56:58,585 --> 00:57:00,628
did you murder William Benton?
598
00:57:09,387 --> 00:57:10,805
I don't believe you did.
599
00:57:10,889 --> 00:57:12,557
But a hell of a lot of your enemies...
600
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:16,353
are trying to convince
a hell of a lot of other folks that you did.
601
00:57:16,519 --> 00:57:18,355
If you can believe Jack Reed...
602
00:57:18,438 --> 00:57:21,024
there are plans in the works
in Washington right now.
603
00:57:21,107 --> 00:57:24,694
Plans to invade Mexico
and make Chihuahua our 49th state.
604
00:57:24,778 --> 00:57:28,490
Plans to finish you off, knock you off,
any way they can.
605
00:57:31,284 --> 00:57:32,994
You have to understand...
606
00:57:33,536 --> 00:57:37,207
that this is the kind of story
the public expects, that they demand.
607
00:57:37,540 --> 00:57:40,210
When they go to the movies,
you give them what they want.
608
00:57:40,293 --> 00:57:41,836
They give you what you want.
609
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,840
And what you want is something
you have never needed more in your life.
610
00:57:47,217 --> 00:57:48,635
Their approval.
611
00:57:52,430 --> 00:57:55,558
I think every time you see me...
612
00:57:56,476 --> 00:57:58,687
you grow one more huevo, Francisco.
613
00:58:08,321 --> 00:58:09,989
And dismount, Raoul.
614
00:58:10,448 --> 00:58:11,866
Everyone dismount.
615
00:58:14,411 --> 00:58:16,037
And run to greet them.
616
00:58:16,663 --> 00:58:18,373
Welcome your hubbies home.
617
00:58:20,125 --> 00:58:21,501
Ladies, come on.
618
00:58:22,669 --> 00:58:24,045
Let's go, ladies!
619
00:58:25,171 --> 00:58:26,256
Come on.
620
00:58:31,553 --> 00:58:32,679
Mr. Cabanne.
621
00:58:32,762 --> 00:58:34,973
Can I get some hugs and kisses here?
622
00:58:39,894 --> 00:58:41,271
Ladies, come on.
623
00:58:42,772 --> 00:58:44,607
Sweet Jesus! Cut!
624
00:58:44,899 --> 00:58:46,776
That's a cut, everybody.
625
00:58:46,860 --> 00:58:49,237
It's just not in their nature.
These women are shy.
626
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,489
Shy? They are as wooden
as fucking Indians.
627
00:58:51,573 --> 00:58:53,658
Most of them are fucking Indians.
628
00:58:53,783 --> 00:58:55,410
Give me five minutes.
629
00:59:09,758 --> 00:59:10,842
Come on, let's go.
630
00:59:15,472 --> 00:59:17,223
And dismount, Raoul.
631
00:59:20,185 --> 00:59:22,145
- And cue the ladies.
- Ladies.
632
00:59:40,663 --> 00:59:42,332
He has his own train.
633
00:59:42,832 --> 00:59:46,002
It's just one more thing
he's liberated from the government.
634
00:59:46,086 --> 00:59:50,340
Fitted out a few hospital cars to take care
of the wounded, made one for the press.
635
00:59:52,676 --> 00:59:54,219
Like a city on wheels.
636
00:59:54,302 --> 00:59:57,180
I walked it the other day.
It's almost 2 miles long.
637
01:00:02,185 --> 01:00:04,270
- Hiya, fellows.
- Hey, Frank.
638
01:00:04,354 --> 01:00:05,522
Hello there.
639
01:00:06,773 --> 01:00:09,943
These are the Sanchez brothers.
Abraham, Anastasio.
640
01:00:13,405 --> 01:00:15,949
Ever paralyze anybody in Spanish before?
641
01:00:17,701 --> 01:00:21,204
So this will be the lab.
We'll be able to develop our own film.
642
01:00:21,955 --> 01:00:23,623
This is the editing room.
643
01:00:23,707 --> 01:00:25,375
We can watch our own dailies...
644
01:00:25,458 --> 01:00:28,503
which I think will make a real difference
in our work.
645
01:00:30,380 --> 01:00:32,090
Going on and on, aren't I?
646
01:00:33,049 --> 01:00:35,218
- You've changed down here.
- Have I?
647
01:00:35,301 --> 01:00:38,680
When I first met you,
it was hard to know you were even around.
648
01:00:41,349 --> 01:00:43,727
I never once had that problem with you.
649
01:00:45,687 --> 01:00:46,813
I gathered.
650
01:00:47,939 --> 01:00:49,733
Guess I was fairly obvious.
651
01:00:50,525 --> 01:00:52,444
Girls don't mind that one bit.
652
01:01:08,043 --> 01:01:10,712
- What have we got here, boss?
- New wardrobe.
653
01:01:12,505 --> 01:01:13,965
Civil War surplus?
654
01:01:14,090 --> 01:01:16,259
Yeah, Aitken got a good deal on it.
655
01:01:17,469 --> 01:01:19,888
You don't think these guys are gonna mind?
656
01:01:19,971 --> 01:01:24,184
- Dressing up like the losing side.
- I think we'll keep that our little secret.
657
01:01:44,079 --> 01:01:45,455
Pretty impressive.
658
01:01:45,622 --> 01:01:49,000
French, 75 mm. Perfect for the job.
659
01:02:04,057 --> 01:02:07,352
Really! Mary Pickford doesn't take this long
in makeup.
660
01:02:07,435 --> 01:02:09,938
Mary Pickford isn't running a revolution
on the side.
661
01:02:10,021 --> 01:02:11,690
Don't think she couldn't.
662
01:02:11,773 --> 01:02:12,899
Here we go.
663
01:02:16,569 --> 01:02:17,779
How do I look?
664
01:02:34,337 --> 01:02:35,922
You're weary, General.
665
01:02:37,132 --> 01:02:39,509
Trappings of power mean nothing to you.
666
01:02:40,635 --> 01:02:42,762
Your every goal has been achieved.
667
01:02:43,513 --> 01:02:45,181
You've avenged your family.
668
01:02:45,265 --> 01:02:47,892
You've righted the wrongs
against your people.
669
01:02:48,143 --> 01:02:50,270
Many lives have been sacrificed...
670
01:02:50,645 --> 01:02:54,232
but in the end, you have
saved the life of your beloved Mexico.
671
01:02:57,402 --> 01:02:59,904
But the work of a president is never done.
672
01:03:00,363 --> 01:03:01,406
Lawrence.
673
01:03:04,409 --> 01:03:06,494
And return to your desk, General.
674
01:03:07,829 --> 01:03:09,330
Pick up the pen...
675
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:11,624
and sign the document.
676
01:03:12,876 --> 01:03:13,918
Good.
677
01:03:14,753 --> 01:03:18,048
Lawrence, take the paper and leave.
Bow and go.
678
01:03:20,925 --> 01:03:22,886
And now the weariness returns.
679
01:03:25,930 --> 01:03:27,974
Can you give me a sigh, General?
680
01:03:37,859 --> 01:03:38,943
Beautiful.
681
01:03:39,736 --> 01:03:41,237
And now your speech.
682
01:03:41,488 --> 01:03:42,906
Into the camera...
683
01:03:43,531 --> 01:03:46,785
into the lens that is the eye
that sees for all the world.
684
01:04:26,074 --> 01:04:28,868
Chapeau to you, sir. One take.
685
01:04:32,288 --> 01:04:34,916
Is there anything the man cannot do?
686
01:04:38,545 --> 01:04:40,964
It is easy to be president in a movie.
687
01:04:41,631 --> 01:04:44,175
In a movie, Pancho Villa could be the Pope.
688
01:04:44,759 --> 01:04:49,139
In the end, there will be other better men
who will sit in Mexico City.
689
01:04:49,764 --> 01:04:52,600
And you'll do what? Surely not retire?
690
01:04:53,727 --> 01:04:57,772
I think the government would open a factory
to make good saddles at Frago.
691
01:04:58,940 --> 01:05:01,693
Pancho Villa, his hands filled with leather.
692
01:05:02,068 --> 01:05:04,404
Pancho Villa's hands are leather.
693
01:05:05,030 --> 01:05:07,490
And you would settle for just doing that?
694
01:05:07,949 --> 01:05:11,119
That and watch that Mexico
does not become...
695
01:05:11,202 --> 01:05:13,830
another star on the flag of your country.
696
01:05:13,913 --> 01:05:15,331
And what about you?
697
01:05:18,585 --> 01:05:20,378
What Pancho Villa wants...
698
01:05:21,421 --> 01:05:22,589
for himself?
699
01:05:26,801 --> 01:05:28,970
A parade when he dies.
700
01:05:31,306 --> 01:05:34,726
A parade, many tears, and many flowers.
701
01:05:35,977 --> 01:05:38,271
For the children to miss his candy.
702
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:41,900
A funeral...
703
01:05:42,776 --> 01:05:45,445
with many poets and singing.
704
01:05:46,112 --> 01:05:48,531
And at the end, a tomb.
705
01:05:49,407 --> 01:05:50,658
A big tomb...
706
01:05:51,409 --> 01:05:53,119
where they can come...
707
01:05:55,288 --> 01:05:58,792
where people can come,
and see Pancho Villa...
708
01:05:59,834 --> 01:06:02,087
will be always there for them.
709
01:06:06,091 --> 01:06:07,300
Always.
710
01:06:54,014 --> 01:06:56,516
You know, I wrote this scene in my head...
711
01:06:56,766 --> 01:06:59,144
the very first time I laid eyes on you.
712
01:07:00,061 --> 01:07:01,187
Was I okay?
713
01:07:01,938 --> 01:07:03,857
You want to try one more take?
714
01:07:05,233 --> 01:07:06,651
Is it too soon?
715
01:07:07,527 --> 01:07:09,487
I don't know. Maybe not.
716
01:07:12,824 --> 01:07:14,325
I'm sure not.
717
01:07:18,163 --> 01:07:22,208
"Onward and upward" is the ticket.
That's what Mom always taught me.
718
01:07:29,424 --> 01:07:30,925
Tomorrow we leave...
719
01:07:32,177 --> 01:07:34,721
to begin the last chapter of the Revoluci�n.
720
01:08:02,290 --> 01:08:04,334
Bravo, General.
721
01:08:10,632 --> 01:08:13,760
You have much to film in the battle,
my friend.
722
01:08:14,511 --> 01:08:17,222
- The battle, sir?
- The battle of Torre�n.
723
01:08:17,931 --> 01:08:19,641
I won't be going with you.
724
01:08:20,016 --> 01:08:22,227
No, I finished my part in this film.
725
01:08:22,352 --> 01:08:24,062
I'm going to New Jersey.
726
01:08:24,729 --> 01:08:26,189
To start a new one.
727
01:08:26,606 --> 01:08:28,608
Really. You can call my agent.
728
01:08:28,983 --> 01:08:30,777
Excuse me, Gen. Villa.
729
01:08:32,529 --> 01:08:34,531
Me, I don't go, sir.
730
01:08:43,248 --> 01:08:45,458
You, too? You're not going?
731
01:08:45,750 --> 01:08:48,545
No, sir, my work's through here.
732
01:08:49,004 --> 01:08:51,214
Only the camera operators are going.
733
01:08:56,177 --> 01:08:58,638
- What's happening?
- I'm not sure.
734
01:09:05,478 --> 01:09:06,604
Oh, my God!
735
01:09:08,064 --> 01:09:09,858
Calling for a firing squad.
736
01:09:23,204 --> 01:09:26,041
Here, Pancho Villa is the director.
737
01:09:26,249 --> 01:09:30,587
Here Pancho Villa says
who is finished and who is not finished.
738
01:10:06,790 --> 01:10:09,292
Now you know
what you will miss at Torre�n.
739
01:10:29,062 --> 01:10:30,814
Will you take this?
740
01:10:40,323 --> 01:10:43,201
Too bad them actresses don't do no jazzing.
741
01:11:09,019 --> 01:11:10,395
The hell they are!
742
01:11:13,773 --> 01:11:15,150
Put the gun away.
743
01:11:21,573 --> 01:11:24,325
General, these boys
have been such a help to the movie...
744
01:11:24,409 --> 01:11:26,327
and now you're turning them into soldiers?
745
01:11:36,254 --> 01:11:37,297
You can't.
746
01:11:37,380 --> 01:11:40,175
Is this what you want
for the children of Mexico?
747
01:11:40,258 --> 01:11:43,970
Schools for only some,
Harvard just for yours, death for the rest?
748
01:11:53,938 --> 01:11:56,983
One boy for you, one boy for Villa.
749
01:11:57,150 --> 01:11:59,611
How can anyone possibly make that choice?
750
01:12:33,103 --> 01:12:35,480
That one for you. I'll take the winner.
751
01:13:41,755 --> 01:13:44,299
Now we find the end of the shots.
752
01:14:44,067 --> 01:14:45,777
Close your stinking mouth.
753
01:15:57,223 --> 01:16:00,477
- You remember our agreement.
- Pancho Villa forgets nothing.
754
01:16:10,945 --> 01:16:12,489
All right, got your cameras?
755
01:16:28,463 --> 01:16:29,506
Ready?
756
01:16:43,228 --> 01:16:44,521
Everyone ready?
757
01:16:45,313 --> 01:16:46,773
Start cranking!
758
01:16:48,024 --> 01:16:50,944
And action!
759
01:17:22,726 --> 01:17:23,893
Keep firing.
760
01:18:42,847 --> 01:18:43,973
Come here.
761
01:18:44,641 --> 01:18:48,311
In the center in the valley of Torre�n...
762
01:18:48,978 --> 01:18:50,814
is the armory of Huerta.
763
01:18:51,481 --> 01:18:55,151
Enough guns for Pancho Villa
to make a hundred revolutions.
764
01:18:55,694 --> 01:18:56,820
At Torre�n...
765
01:18:56,903 --> 01:19:01,116
Pancho Villa will give his General Angeles
and your Senor Aitken...
766
01:19:01,199 --> 01:19:03,993
the mucho boom-boom.
767
01:19:05,078 --> 01:19:06,413
Excuse me, sir.
768
01:19:07,622 --> 01:19:10,166
You're attacking from here. This is the east?
769
01:19:10,709 --> 01:19:13,336
You're firing at the Federales from the east?
770
01:19:13,420 --> 01:19:15,839
Is there any special reason
for that plan, sir?
771
01:19:15,922 --> 01:19:17,507
Si. Because it's mine.
772
01:19:19,718 --> 01:19:20,760
What?
773
01:19:22,887 --> 01:19:25,598
Your camera's going to shoot
into the sun, huh?
774
01:19:25,849 --> 01:19:27,726
Your lenses are not strong enough.
775
01:19:27,809 --> 01:19:29,519
Nowhere near enough, no, sir.
776
01:19:29,602 --> 01:19:31,521
Maybe you can move the cameras
to the side.
777
01:19:31,604 --> 01:19:33,606
This way the sun can come across.
778
01:19:33,690 --> 01:19:34,733
Or...
779
01:19:36,317 --> 01:19:37,569
Or what?
780
01:19:39,446 --> 01:19:42,449
Could you change your attack
so that you fire from the west...
781
01:19:42,532 --> 01:19:44,034
instead of the east?
782
01:19:44,951 --> 01:19:47,412
That would give us so much better a picture.
783
01:20:11,436 --> 01:20:13,355
We kill them all your way.
784
01:21:29,848 --> 01:21:31,474
Action, Senor Griffith.
785
01:21:32,976 --> 01:21:34,060
Action.
786
01:25:44,811 --> 01:25:48,606
The thing is, it's always easier for an army
to defend a position...
787
01:25:48,690 --> 01:25:50,608
than it is for one to take it.
788
01:25:50,692 --> 01:25:54,738
I suppose you're right. Took the Turks
500 years to capture Constantinople.
789
01:26:19,971 --> 01:26:21,139
What's this?
790
01:26:21,765 --> 01:26:25,101
If we fight the Federales for 1,000 years
we cannot beat them...
791
01:26:25,185 --> 01:26:26,811
unless we fight them this way.
792
01:26:26,895 --> 01:26:30,148
By day we can win the battle,
by night we will win the war.
793
01:26:30,774 --> 01:26:32,817
But you always must've known that.
794
01:26:32,901 --> 01:26:35,320
In the dark I can smell the Federales' fear.
795
01:26:35,403 --> 01:26:36,696
With fear comes defeat.
796
01:26:36,780 --> 01:26:39,908
You never really intended
to honor our contract, did you?
797
01:26:39,991 --> 01:26:42,619
My only contract is honored with Mexico.
798
01:26:44,037 --> 01:26:45,330
There's no choice.
799
01:26:45,413 --> 01:26:48,166
It's better for me to lose the movie
than the Revolution.
800
01:27:20,865 --> 01:27:22,701
What the hell was in there?
801
01:27:22,992 --> 01:27:25,704
The Federales hide their ammunition
in the church.
802
01:27:26,287 --> 01:27:28,707
This way they go to heaven faster.
803
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:31,209
Plenty of light now, Francisco.
804
01:29:53,018 --> 01:29:54,644
- Hello, sonny boy.
- Hi.
805
01:29:56,229 --> 01:29:57,647
Take some of this.
806
01:29:58,189 --> 01:29:59,274
Thanks.
807
01:30:10,493 --> 01:30:11,953
Frigging rainwater.
808
01:30:12,454 --> 01:30:13,788
That's all there is.
809
01:30:13,872 --> 01:30:16,458
If you ask me, cows have been pissing in it.
810
01:30:20,086 --> 01:30:22,797
Hell of a show the boss put on last night.
811
01:30:23,089 --> 01:30:24,924
I didn't get one foot of it.
812
01:30:25,050 --> 01:30:28,261
There are those days, kid.
There are those days.
813
01:30:30,513 --> 01:30:32,557
- Sorry, Sam.
- Don't worry about it.
814
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:35,935
You can take a Jew apart,
you can never kill him altogether.
815
01:30:37,270 --> 01:30:39,981
Used to aggravate the hell out of my mother.
816
01:30:40,231 --> 01:30:41,858
There's a law, you know.
817
01:30:41,941 --> 01:30:45,862
Anybody with a tattoo, no Jewish cemetery
will let you get buried there.
818
01:30:46,404 --> 01:30:49,741
As if it's gonna bother somebody
in the next grave, right?
819
01:30:51,868 --> 01:30:55,205
I can't tell you how happy
this is going to make my mother.
820
01:31:39,124 --> 01:31:41,084
Charlie, set up fast.
821
01:31:41,209 --> 01:31:43,336
This is the scene we missed at Ojinaga.
822
01:32:44,981 --> 01:32:46,024
My God.
823
01:32:48,026 --> 01:32:49,235
How could you?
824
01:32:51,404 --> 01:32:53,156
Don't speak to me of God.
825
01:32:54,240 --> 01:32:56,242
God has never been to Mexico!
826
01:32:57,369 --> 01:32:59,913
If he has been, he has a heart of stone!
827
01:33:17,889 --> 01:33:19,224
Go home, Frank.
828
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:23,728
All of you!
829
01:33:27,732 --> 01:33:30,402
Go where to be born is to be equal.
830
01:33:31,444 --> 01:33:34,406
The children of Mexico are not yet so lucky.
831
01:34:01,808 --> 01:34:02,851
Mr. Walsh.
832
01:34:02,934 --> 01:34:04,144
One more!
833
01:34:05,687 --> 01:34:07,522
Very still, now. Very still.
834
01:34:12,193 --> 01:34:15,280
As far as I'm concerned,
two-reel films are a thing of the past.
835
01:34:15,363 --> 01:34:16,781
I can imagine the time...
836
01:34:16,865 --> 01:34:18,241
when a 5-reel picture was...
837
01:34:19,117 --> 01:34:22,162
It's not gonna be an easy thing to see
for us, because we...
838
01:34:30,754 --> 01:34:31,963
Good evening.
839
01:34:32,589 --> 01:34:34,007
Nice to see you again.
840
01:34:34,090 --> 01:34:35,300
Good evening.
841
01:34:37,302 --> 01:34:39,971
Onward and upward. That's the ticket.
842
01:39:34,099 --> 01:39:35,266
Jack.
843
01:39:37,727 --> 01:39:41,189
I want you to know
I fought against editing that shot that way.
844
01:39:42,065 --> 01:39:44,776
It means a lot to me
for you to understand that.
845
01:39:45,694 --> 01:39:49,072
I understand the difficulty
in selling tickets to see a hero...
846
01:39:49,155 --> 01:39:51,282
who mows down widows in cold blood.
847
01:39:52,826 --> 01:39:57,288
I even understand the commercial need
to transform an outlaw into an aristocrat.
848
01:39:59,624 --> 01:40:02,919
Or passing off whores as loving wives.
849
01:40:03,670 --> 01:40:05,880
Barefoot peasants who are
entitled to freedom...
850
01:40:05,964 --> 01:40:09,175
only after they've been properly dressed
for the occasion.
851
01:40:10,260 --> 01:40:12,387
It's a process of evolution.
852
01:40:13,388 --> 01:40:16,599
It's the movie's turn to make truth
the first casualty of war.
853
01:40:16,683 --> 01:40:20,186
- Is there a second?
- Well, if that's the first, who cares?
854
01:40:21,896 --> 01:40:23,773
Why did he kill her, Jack?
855
01:40:24,524 --> 01:40:27,986
So coldly, so brutally.
856
01:40:28,570 --> 01:40:31,322
It's as though
he killed the whole Revolution.
857
01:40:33,575 --> 01:40:36,161
You know what it is
to say to a whole country:
858
01:40:36,244 --> 01:40:39,247
"Let me make everything that's wrong
right for you.
859
01:40:39,664 --> 01:40:42,459
"Let me carry you all on my shoulders"?
860
01:40:43,793 --> 01:40:46,379
Eventually you begin to resent the weight.
861
01:40:47,339 --> 01:40:50,342
You'd never know that from the movie
I let it become.
862
01:40:50,508 --> 01:40:53,136
Well, you'll find a way to live with yourself.
863
01:40:53,678 --> 01:40:56,264
You'll find a way to live with Pancho, too.
864
01:40:57,349 --> 01:41:00,518
You used each other, Frank.
Mutual and Villa.
865
01:41:01,853 --> 01:41:04,397
Together you proved that the lens...
866
01:41:04,522 --> 01:41:07,150
is a hell of a lot mightier than the sword.
867
01:41:40,517 --> 01:41:42,602
Hey, sonny boy!
868
01:41:47,065 --> 01:41:48,692
Sam Drebben.
869
01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:51,986
My God.
870
01:41:52,237 --> 01:41:53,947
Sit 'im here. Park it.
871
01:42:00,161 --> 01:42:01,746
Yeah, careful, sweetheart.
872
01:42:01,830 --> 01:42:03,915
She's got a bladder like a faucet.
873
01:42:03,998 --> 01:42:06,584
Watch what you say.
She thinks I'm a paint salesman.
874
01:42:08,753 --> 01:42:09,921
Yeah, right, Ma.
875
01:42:11,923 --> 01:42:14,342
- Ice cream.
- Okay, Ma.
876
01:42:15,343 --> 01:42:17,095
Shades of Pancho Villa.
877
01:42:17,178 --> 01:42:19,180
She's tougher, believe me.

878
01:42:20,432 --> 01:42:23,143
Got too good a look at a Federale bayonet.
879
01:42:24,060 --> 01:42:28,273
- You don't still work for him, do you?
- No, not since after the Revolution.
880
01:42:28,732 --> 01:42:31,735
Funny guy, Pancho.
He gave me a letter of reference.
881
01:42:31,818 --> 01:42:34,696
He said Moses should have used me
for a machine gun.
882
01:42:35,780 --> 01:42:37,699
Wrote it with your pen, too.
883
01:42:39,075 --> 01:42:43,288
He was pretty browned off with you guys.
He never did get to see that movie.
884
01:42:43,371 --> 01:42:46,541
Jack Reed said that
we made him look so good...
885
01:42:46,624 --> 01:42:49,544
that Washington held off the idea
of invading Mexico.
886
01:42:49,627 --> 01:42:52,422
Be that as it may, you welshed on him.
I was there...
887
01:42:52,505 --> 01:42:55,050
when you promised him
a print for the widows, remember?
888
01:42:55,133 --> 01:42:58,345
- And the orphans, remember?
- Aitken was mad he broke the contract.
889
01:42:58,428 --> 01:43:01,139
Like Aitken needed an excuse
to be full of shit.
890
01:43:02,724 --> 01:43:04,476
Some revolution.
891
01:43:04,559 --> 01:43:07,687
The new fuckers
are the same as the old fuckers.
892
01:43:07,854 --> 01:43:12,025
Big guys up here still control
everything that's going on down there.
893
01:43:12,150 --> 01:43:16,821
Both sides of the border still scared shitless
Pancho's going to start shooting again...
894
01:43:16,905 --> 01:43:19,282
because the Revolution's turned sour.
895
01:43:20,450 --> 01:43:23,078
You want my two cents,
for what they're worth?
896
01:43:23,161 --> 01:43:25,246
Mexico would be a hell of a lot better off...
897
01:43:25,330 --> 01:43:28,875
if God had taken his goddamn oil
and shoved it under Brooklyn.
898
01:43:43,181 --> 01:43:46,017
I wish very much
that you had been in Parral...
899
01:43:46,101 --> 01:43:48,061
for the christening of my first-born.
900
01:43:48,228 --> 01:43:52,107
Anastasio Francisco.
Named for my brother and for you.
901
01:43:52,691 --> 01:43:55,110
I hope he will be proud to say one day...
902
01:43:55,193 --> 01:43:57,737
that he is the godson of Pancho Villa.
903
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:30,353
At the christening party...
904
01:44:30,437 --> 01:44:33,690
the General was very much
as the General always was.
905
01:44:33,898 --> 01:44:38,236
Though some said later
he was more quiet, more thoughtful.
906
01:44:39,237 --> 01:44:41,448
They say he had a premonition.
907
01:44:47,037 --> 01:44:50,582
After giving my son
his medal of the Virgin of Guadalupe...
908
01:44:50,665 --> 01:44:54,419
which many times over
he would say really belonged to you...
909
01:44:54,919 --> 01:44:57,797
he started to drive back
to his hacienda grande...
910
01:44:57,881 --> 01:45:00,008
with his secretary and two guards.
911
01:45:00,383 --> 01:45:03,094
And then, in the center of Parral...
912
01:45:33,875 --> 01:45:36,419
Some say the government
killed Pancho Villa.
913
01:45:36,586 --> 01:45:40,340
Some say it was the gringos.
Some say it was both.
914
01:45:42,258 --> 01:45:45,637
The General was dragged away
like an animal.
915
01:45:45,929 --> 01:45:48,181
Even in death they are afraid of him.
916
01:45:48,807 --> 01:45:51,643
He is without a grave. He has no tomb.
917
01:45:52,811 --> 01:45:55,230
How will they remember him, Senor Frank?
918
01:45:55,438 --> 01:45:58,650
How will the sons of Mexico
remember our Pancho Villa?
919
01:47:07,719 --> 01:47:10,722
Following his assassination,
the name of Pancho Villa...
920
01:47:10,805 --> 01:47:15,226
was stricken from all official records,
statues, monuments, even children's books.
921
01:47:16,478 --> 01:47:19,606
When the government decided it was safe
to disinter his body...
922
01:47:19,689 --> 01:47:22,567
it was discovered
that someone had stolen his head.
923
01:47:23,401 --> 01:47:27,906
In 1976, after half a century,
the remains of his remains...
924
01:47:27,989 --> 01:47:32,744
were laid to rest in Mexico City,
alongside other heroes of the Revolution.
925
01:47:33,161 --> 01:47:36,831
Finally he'd been given the funeral
he'd always dreamed of.
926
01:47:38,750 --> 01:47:42,587
As in the case of his head,
the film The Life Of General Villa...
927
01:47:42,671 --> 01:47:44,881
has been lost to posterity.
928
01:47:45,423 --> 01:47:49,469
If anything at all, Frank Thayer
remains just a footnote in history.
929
01:47:50,095 --> 01:47:54,557
No complaints, it's not too bad
being a footnote to a legend.
