1
00:00:19,619 --> 00:00:23,147
Cape Kennedy: 14th November, 1969.
2
00:00:23,523 --> 00:00:26,152
For the 2nd time in the history
of mankind the USA
3
00:00:26,226 --> 00:00:28,627
are sending a delegation of human beings
4
00:00:28,695 --> 00:00:29,795
to the moon.
5
00:00:31,331 --> 00:00:33,032
The astronauts that will land on the moon
6
00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:36,435
will find there the same landscapes
they studied in the labs.
7
00:00:36,436 --> 00:00:39,805
The interplanetary
landscape is cold, fascinating
8
00:00:39,806 --> 00:00:40,906
but already foressen.
9
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:45,277
We're finding out that the unpredictable
10
00:00:45,278 --> 00:00:46,279
is in fact predictable.
11
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,913
And the astronauts will soon find out
12
00:00:47,914 --> 00:00:55,187
that the moon no longer charms
people like it used to.
13
00:00:55,188 --> 00:00:57,890
Much better the neon signs.
14
00:00:57,891 --> 00:01:01,060
And so, while the three men
are taking off to the moon,
15
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:04,463
here at Cape Kennedy the moon
is still a... lunar park.
16
00:01:04,631 --> 00:01:07,433
The audience finds new ways
17
00:01:07,434 --> 00:01:10,302
to fill the long wait
before the magic event.
18
00:01:10,370 --> 00:01:12,430
Astronaut shaped earrings.
19
00:01:12,772 --> 00:01:15,007
Sandwiches called "Big Moon".
20
00:01:15,008 --> 00:01:17,142
Or medium. According to size.
21
00:01:17,143 --> 00:01:19,011
Landing sausages.
22
00:01:19,012 --> 00:01:20,378
Ice cream and pop corn.
23
00:01:20,747 --> 00:01:23,012
Porno astronauts.
24
00:01:28,054 --> 00:01:31,991
Raised in labs and in charge
of soulless machines
25
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:33,592
the astronauts begin their journey.
26
00:01:33,593 --> 00:01:38,930
Awarding the new civilization
the colors of the American flag.
27
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:42,467
Our journey through America starts here.
28
00:01:42,569 --> 00:01:43,802
But ours will be a journey through
29
00:01:43,803 --> 00:01:45,838
the collective consciousness
of the other Americans.
30
00:01:45,839 --> 00:01:47,372
Those who stay on earth.
31
00:01:47,373 --> 00:01:48,707
Those who have given to a rocket
32
00:01:48,708 --> 00:01:51,371
a symbolic message to be carried
out in the infinite space.
33
00:01:51,978 --> 00:01:53,245
A journey into men
34
00:01:53,246 --> 00:01:55,238
who feel like they already own the future.
35
00:02:12,098 --> 00:02:19,371
AMERICA SO NAKED SO VIOLENT

New York!
46
00:03:44,058 --> 00:03:46,091
The heart, the brain of America!
47
00:03:46,092 --> 00:03:48,860
The most chaotic meltin' pot of races
in the whole world.
48
00:03:48,861 --> 00:03:50,162
12 million people are living in it.
49
00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:51,164
Maybe more.
50
00:03:51,165 --> 00:03:53,098
The biggest Italian city in the world.
51
00:03:53,099 --> 00:03:55,500
More than four million of its
inhabitants have Italian surnames.
52
00:03:55,501 --> 00:03:57,703
The obsessive rhythm of the city.
53
00:03:57,704 --> 00:03:59,871
Skyscrapers.
Many of them, the more modern ones,
54
00:03:59,872 --> 00:04:01,707
are built without windows.
55
00:04:01,708 --> 00:04:04,843
Smog, car horns,
the filtered air of conditioners,
56
00:04:04,844 --> 00:04:06,845
life under the influence of well-being,
57
00:04:06,846 --> 00:04:08,212
humanity chasing after itself,
58
00:04:08,781 --> 00:04:13,549
indifference.
59
00:04:13,987 --> 00:04:15,220
We're entering the poorest neighborhood:
60
00:04:15,221 --> 00:04:16,722
the Bowery.
61
00:04:16,723 --> 00:04:20,192
Drifters, beggars, drunkards, prostitutes,
62
00:04:20,193 --> 00:04:21,360
in one words:
63
00:04:21,361 --> 00:04:22,561
bums.
64
00:04:22,562 --> 00:04:25,897
These bums count approximately 25,000.
65
00:04:25,898 --> 00:04:30,235
Men that gave up the race
for success and money
66
00:04:30,236 --> 00:04:32,871
and found in the Bowery
the only place to live.
67
00:04:32,872 --> 00:04:35,674
Without moral,
social or civil obligations.
68
00:04:35,675 --> 00:04:39,578
A place that's the last step
before the descent into darkness.
69
00:04:41,047 --> 00:04:44,249
The Bowery man doesn't dream
of making a whole buck.
70
00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:47,719
His daily goal is to scratch
up just a few cents.
71
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,354
Just enough to sleep or booze.
72
00:04:49,355 --> 00:04:54,055
Because sleeping and boozing
allows him to forget he's alive.
73
00:05:06,205 --> 00:05:08,140
On the sidewalks of this street
74
00:05:08,207 --> 00:05:10,876
each day happens that
one of these fallen derelicts
75
00:05:10,877 --> 00:05:12,477
and not as a figure of speech -
76
00:05:12,478 --> 00:05:14,813
does not have the strength
anymore to get up again.
77
00:05:14,814 --> 00:05:20,085
Whether he's fine or not.
If he lives or dies, no one cares.
78
00:05:20,086 --> 00:05:24,122
Neither his fellow bums on the street,
nor the passers-by.
79
00:05:24,123 --> 00:05:25,489
It's his business.
80
00:05:40,940 --> 00:05:43,742
The 79th street is the street
of retirement homes.
81
00:05:43,743 --> 00:05:45,711
They call it the Dead End.
82
00:05:45,712 --> 00:05:48,613
It means street with no
way out for the living.
83
00:05:48,614 --> 00:05:50,382
In a city like New York
84
00:05:50,383 --> 00:05:52,751
there are almost a million elderly people
85
00:05:52,752 --> 00:05:54,019
who have no one left to lean on.
86
00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:56,588
Their final destiny
is in these retirement homes.
87
00:05:56,589 --> 00:06:00,325
In which indifference
has the smell and colors of dirt.
88
00:06:00,326 --> 00:06:03,785
The future and productivity,
true Americans myths,
89
00:06:03,863 --> 00:06:06,131
belong only to young people.
90
00:06:06,132 --> 00:06:08,814
Old people are just things
to be thrown in the garbage cans.
91
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:21,246
Among all these sad
looks we discover today
92
00:06:21,247 --> 00:06:22,881
a happy old man.
93
00:06:22,882 --> 00:06:23,783
He has suddenly found out that even he's
94
00:06:23,784 --> 00:06:25,884
allowed to have a future.
95
00:06:25,885 --> 00:06:27,719
They told him that he has cancer.
96
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,989
The right opportunity to offer
himself as a guinea pig.
97
00:06:30,990 --> 00:06:32,758
To be studied with the most
98
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:37,729
modern medical equipment
available in the world.
99
00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:39,197
But to him this means only
100
00:06:39,198 --> 00:06:40,298
a comfortable bed,
101
00:06:40,299 --> 00:06:41,433
clean sheets,
102
00:06:41,434 --> 00:06:43,068
hot meals.
103
00:06:43,069 --> 00:06:44,833
As long as he lives.
104
00:07:22,775 --> 00:07:27,579
Death in the lab, life in the lab,
lab beauty, lab luxury:
105
00:07:27,580 --> 00:07:29,714
we're in Miami Beach, Florida.
106
00:07:29,715 --> 00:07:31,149
These are the most representatives
examples
107
00:07:31,150 --> 00:07:32,151
of the most beautiful youth of the world.
108
00:07:32,152 --> 00:07:33,985
The most well-fed youth of the world.
109
00:07:33,986 --> 00:07:37,155
As proved by statistics
and slow moving buttocks.
110
00:07:37,156 --> 00:07:38,556
All these girls,
111
00:07:38,624 --> 00:07:40,692
superbly raised according to the gospel
112
00:07:40,693 --> 00:07:42,559
of alimentary advertisement
113
00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:43,095
have perfect sizes.
114
00:07:43,096 --> 00:07:45,363
And therefore... identical ones.
115
00:07:45,364 --> 00:07:47,933
Diets based on butter,
eggs, milk and steaks
116
00:07:47,934 --> 00:07:50,469
have raised these perfect specimen
117
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:52,637
among which you can choose easily
118
00:07:52,638 --> 00:07:54,306
America's most beautiful model,
119
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:56,041
Miss Cheesecake,
120
00:07:56,042 --> 00:07:57,043
Miss Milk and Honey,
121
00:07:57,044 --> 00:07:58,443
Miss Liberty,
122
00:07:58,444 --> 00:08:00,504
and Miss Applepie.
123
00:08:14,026 --> 00:08:16,294
These too are young Americans.
124
00:08:16,295 --> 00:08:17,996
Not the traditional ones.
125
00:08:17,997 --> 00:08:19,297
They love and breed
126
00:08:19,298 --> 00:08:21,900
but instead of steaks they love flowers.
127
00:08:21,901 --> 00:08:23,335
Especially dried ones.
128
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:25,604
Under the banner of love
129
00:08:25,605 --> 00:08:28,607
the biggest free concert of modern history
130
00:08:28,608 --> 00:08:29,808
has been celebrated.
131
00:08:29,809 --> 00:08:32,377
The Rolling Stones and other
famous modern orchestras
132
00:08:32,378 --> 00:08:35,680
set the rhythm for the army
of over a half a million hippies
133
00:08:35,681 --> 00:08:38,651
who wanted to forget
war in the name of love.
134
00:09:12,151 --> 00:09:13,952
A half a million of junkies and potheads
135
00:09:13,953 --> 00:09:16,388
if you consider than more
that 95% of those attending
136
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:17,722
has smoked weed,
137
00:09:17,723 --> 00:09:18,724
taken LSD
138
00:09:18,724 --> 00:09:19,824
and other stuff.
139
00:09:20,793 --> 00:09:23,820
Peace American style,
peace marihuana style!
140
00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:25,630
A little math?
141
00:09:25,631 --> 00:09:26,965
Try to calculate how many hard drugs
142
00:09:26,966 --> 00:09:29,167
have been used that afternoon.
143
00:09:29,168 --> 00:09:30,669
Impossible.
144
00:09:30,670 --> 00:09:32,237
On the other hand it
is possible to imagine
145
00:09:32,238 --> 00:09:33,172
the outcome:
146
00:09:33,172 --> 00:09:34,162
love for everybody,
147
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,340
some strip tease,
148
00:09:35,641 --> 00:09:36,939
five people died.
149
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:38,708
Three: trampled.
150
00:09:38,778 --> 00:09:41,346
One run over by a car and one stabbed.
151
00:09:41,347 --> 00:09:43,048
And three girls gave birth.
152
00:09:43,049 --> 00:09:45,817
Death beats Life 5 to 3.
153
00:09:45,818 --> 00:09:50,518
And all this in the name
of love and peace.
154
00:11:18,344 --> 00:11:21,872
Lots of young people want
marihuana to be legalized.
155
00:11:21,947 --> 00:11:23,615
Marihuana, they say, is the powder milk
156
00:11:23,616 --> 00:11:25,884
for those who want to escape
on the wings of fantasy.
157
00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:29,287
Adults who had enough weed
suits better morphine.
158
00:11:29,288 --> 00:11:33,858
A youngster from L.A. takes us
with him on his acid trip.
159
00:11:33,859 --> 00:11:37,562
When totally stoned and successful
in his escape from reality
160
00:11:37,563 --> 00:11:40,165
we ask him to tell us who he is,
his name at least.
161
00:11:40,166 --> 00:11:41,167
That's how he answers:
162
00:11:41,168 --> 00:11:42,734
I'm me.
163
00:11:42,735 --> 00:11:44,769
And then...
164
00:11:44,770 --> 00:11:47,972
I feel the music and the silence.
165
00:11:47,973 --> 00:11:49,808
...boiled meat, uterus, holy soft drink...
166
00:11:49,809 --> 00:11:51,107
Mao without Ze-dong...
167
00:11:51,177 --> 00:11:52,377
Ze-dong without Mao...
168
00:11:52,378 --> 00:11:53,645
Incest...
169
00:11:53,646 --> 00:11:54,613
Origano.
170
00:11:54,614 --> 00:11:55,947
Salt without a soup.
171
00:11:55,948 --> 00:11:57,115
HOTEL!
172
00:11:57,116 --> 00:11:58,817
Cold breeze of air.
173
00:11:58,818 --> 00:12:00,351
Horse hoof.
174
00:12:00,352 --> 00:12:02,687
Donald Duck pisses
Mickey Mouse on the head.
175
00:12:02,688 --> 00:12:04,522
Infinite number.
176
00:12:04,523 --> 00:12:06,014
Nothing.
177
00:12:32,818 --> 00:12:34,219
Once upon a time there was the real man
178
00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:36,287
the Superman of the American legend.
179
00:12:36,288 --> 00:12:37,555
Today he's a bit out of shape
180
00:12:37,556 --> 00:12:39,224
but if you look closely,
you can still find him.
181
00:12:39,225 --> 00:12:41,192
At least on the football fields.
182
00:12:41,193 --> 00:12:43,762
He fights bravely,
with chivalrous violence.
183
00:12:43,763 --> 00:12:45,363
Headbuttin' the enemy.
184
00:12:45,364 --> 00:12:46,731
He has switched from fantasy flights
185
00:12:46,732 --> 00:12:50,134
to a healthy aggression and a sure catch.
186
00:12:53,439 --> 00:12:55,373
His uniform is armored
like a warrior's one.
187
00:12:55,374 --> 00:12:58,276
He doesn't know sickness,
weakness or aging.
188
00:12:58,277 --> 00:13:00,940
His liveliness is doping proof
189
00:13:01,013 --> 00:13:02,981
and full heartedly put on show
190
00:13:02,982 --> 00:13:04,649
but it is no more alive
than that of a fossil.
191
00:13:04,650 --> 00:13:06,251
A souvenir from a distant past
192
00:13:06,252 --> 00:13:07,819
in nowadays America.
193
00:13:07,820 --> 00:13:10,380
Just like the rodeos
and the Indian villages.
194
00:13:28,340 --> 00:13:31,476
The REAL man,
a wooden log shaped with muscles,
195
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:33,711
puts on shows for men
196
00:13:33,712 --> 00:13:36,944
that we cannot define as... "true".
197
00:13:44,957 --> 00:13:47,058
In New York, in the Broadway district,
198
00:13:47,059 --> 00:13:49,761
movie theaters for homosexuals thrive.
199
00:13:49,762 --> 00:13:52,764
The movies show elegant chases
200
00:13:52,765 --> 00:13:54,799
with naked men on Californian beaches.
201
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,601
Or, incredibly, Mr. Muscle
202
00:13:56,602 --> 00:14:00,596
taken by surprise
by the magic of slow motion.
203
00:14:21,660 --> 00:14:23,528
A few years ago these kind of films
204
00:14:23,529 --> 00:14:25,029
were shot very roughly.
205
00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:26,397
Nowadays the directors
are carefully chosen.
206
00:14:26,398 --> 00:14:27,765
And they have to put on display
207
00:14:27,766 --> 00:14:29,300
a certain taste.
208
00:14:29,301 --> 00:14:31,302
The audience pays more attention
209
00:14:31,303 --> 00:14:32,304
and therefore wants more.
210
00:14:32,305 --> 00:14:33,605
They do not accept that their closed world
211
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,441
is lessened by violent or brutal scenes.
212
00:14:36,442 --> 00:14:38,943
They accept that theaters owners
213
00:14:38,944 --> 00:14:40,311
and producers exploit their vices
214
00:14:40,312 --> 00:14:42,543
but they do not accept to be ripped off.
215
00:15:03,769 --> 00:15:06,037
On the other side the needs of true men
216
00:15:06,038 --> 00:15:07,529
have increased as well.
217
00:15:13,512 --> 00:15:15,546
Some years ago the top less
218
00:15:15,547 --> 00:15:16,548
became fashionable.
219
00:15:16,548 --> 00:15:17,648
Which literally
220
00:15:17,716 --> 00:15:18,274
means...
221
00:15:18,384 --> 00:15:19,318
tits.
222
00:15:19,319 --> 00:15:22,186
Oh, sorry. A poorly dressed lady.
223
00:15:22,187 --> 00:15:24,289
Today the top less is stuff of the past.
224
00:15:24,290 --> 00:15:26,591
Mens curiosity has gone
a little further down.
225
00:15:26,592 --> 00:15:28,185
Way... down.
226
00:15:28,694 --> 00:15:31,095
And the tireless minds
of the night club owners
227
00:15:31,096 --> 00:15:33,691
of Broadway have come up with the...
Bottom Less.
228
00:15:35,801 --> 00:15:37,929
The translation is easy but embarrassing.
229
00:15:38,037 --> 00:15:40,305
But what it means is crystal clear.
230
00:15:40,306 --> 00:15:42,073
Every real man gets it.
231
00:15:42,074 --> 00:15:45,272
We've reached the... bottom.
232
00:15:57,623 --> 00:15:59,457
But there are traditions
233
00:15:59,458 --> 00:16:01,459
that resist over the years.
234
00:16:01,460 --> 00:16:03,428
And stick to different generations.
235
00:16:03,429 --> 00:16:05,663
The natural instincts
that American negroes
236
00:16:05,664 --> 00:16:08,190
carry with them
like the color of their skin.
237
00:16:12,604 --> 00:16:14,172
It's Sunday morning.
238
00:16:14,173 --> 00:16:15,606
Harlem.
239
00:16:15,607 --> 00:16:18,643
The colored Americans pray
in church the same God
240
00:16:18,644 --> 00:16:22,445
that centuries ago the white
masters taught them to love.
241
00:16:26,118 --> 00:16:28,920
When the emotional sincerity
of the prayer climaxes
242
00:16:28,921 --> 00:16:31,522
the exuberance of the ancestors
of these negroes
243
00:16:31,523 --> 00:16:33,591
showed in their native African rites
244
00:16:33,592 --> 00:16:35,493
comes to fore once again and explodes.
245
00:16:35,494 --> 00:16:38,096
The centuries, slavery,
the concrete jungle
246
00:16:38,097 --> 00:16:40,164
have not killed the spontaneous expression
247
00:16:40,165 --> 00:16:41,532
of the negro soul.
248
00:16:41,533 --> 00:16:44,469
The new religion and their ancient way
249
00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:47,030
of feeling the faith melt together.
250
00:17:36,088 --> 00:17:37,822
We are in Rodney, in the South.
251
00:17:37,823 --> 00:17:38,824
This old lady is Mrs. Frazier.
252
00:17:38,825 --> 00:17:40,124
She's the symbol of the south.
253
00:17:40,125 --> 00:17:41,759
She's one of the last desperate stalwarts.
254
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,694
To conquer this world,
255
00:17:43,695 --> 00:17:46,764
once noble and merciless,
256
00:17:46,765 --> 00:17:49,734
the Americans from the north
fought a civil war
257
00:17:49,735 --> 00:17:50,968
and won it.
258
00:17:50,969 --> 00:17:52,603
Since then places like Rodney
259
00:17:52,604 --> 00:17:54,572
began to die.
260
00:17:54,573 --> 00:17:56,641
Cut away from the new interests.
261
00:17:56,642 --> 00:17:58,109
From the railway tracks.
262
00:17:58,110 --> 00:17:59,944
Even by the whims of nature
263
00:17:59,945 --> 00:18:02,005
that changed the course
of the Mississippi.
264
00:18:08,821 --> 00:18:10,855
In the country that always wins wars
265
00:18:10,856 --> 00:18:13,991
Mrs. Frazier is one the last
Americans that has lost one.
266
00:18:13,992 --> 00:18:15,722
The old saloon is still there.
267
00:18:17,296 --> 00:18:20,231
The negroes are still "niggers".
268
00:18:20,232 --> 00:18:23,101
The Yankees are just
a bunch of blue jackets.
269
00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:25,503
Who accidentally won a civil war.
270
00:18:30,409 --> 00:18:31,443
Hundred years ago
271
00:18:31,444 --> 00:18:32,877
as if it were only yesterday.
272
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:35,780
Mrs. Frazier's rifle is still loaded.
273
00:18:35,781 --> 00:18:36,908
Ready to shoot
274
00:18:36,982 --> 00:18:39,144
against time that's marching on.
275
00:18:40,452 --> 00:18:43,154
Yesterday like today:
violence does not die.
276
00:18:43,155 --> 00:18:45,715
And it becomes a touristic attraction.
277
00:18:45,791 --> 00:18:47,020
A lure.
278
00:18:47,092 --> 00:18:49,357
For those visiting Dallas.
279
00:18:50,195 --> 00:18:51,829
A map on the square
280
00:18:51,830 --> 00:18:54,332
shows the stages of JFK's killing.
281
00:18:54,333 --> 00:18:56,934
You can't send your greetings
with a postcard
282
00:18:56,935 --> 00:18:59,029
that pictures the death of the president.
283
00:18:59,404 --> 00:19:01,005
It looks like Dallas
does not want to forget
284
00:19:01,006 --> 00:19:02,406
its responsibilities.
285
00:19:07,479 --> 00:19:12,918
These are the last images that JFK
saw that November day.
286
00:19:33,472 --> 00:19:36,018
This is the spot where the
three deadly shots were fired.
287
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:40,645
A rifle is always out to set
an ambush around here.
288
00:19:40,646 --> 00:19:43,241
Even on a harmless and
defenseless target like this.
289
00:19:55,661 --> 00:19:58,596
A good rifle can be bought
everywhere in America.
290
00:19:58,597 --> 00:20:00,431
You don't need a police permit
291
00:20:00,432 --> 00:20:01,599
or a license.
292
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,202
You don't even have to declare
what you're going to do with it.
293
00:20:04,203 --> 00:20:07,171
You just have to have 25 bucks
in your pocket.
294
00:20:07,172 --> 00:20:09,173
With a rifle in his hands
295
00:20:09,174 --> 00:20:10,142
each nowadays American
296
00:20:10,242 --> 00:20:11,141
feels like the direct heir
297
00:20:11,276 --> 00:20:12,938
of yesterdays cowboys.
298
00:20:13,145 --> 00:20:14,146
The targets,
299
00:20:14,147 --> 00:20:15,780
like these poor defenseless rabbits
300
00:20:15,781 --> 00:20:17,582
that will never nourish someone
301
00:20:17,583 --> 00:20:19,750
but were only born to please
302
00:20:19,751 --> 00:20:21,919
those who like to shoot,
303
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,854
who love to aim at living targets,
304
00:20:23,855 --> 00:20:25,824
are always... free.
305
00:21:03,061 --> 00:21:04,695
To raise bunnies
306
00:21:04,696 --> 00:21:05,397
is far more profitable
307
00:21:05,398 --> 00:21:06,931
than to raise rabbits.
308
00:21:06,932 --> 00:21:09,433
Hugh Heffner makes
unimaginable amounts of money
309
00:21:09,434 --> 00:21:11,535
with his bunnies.
310
00:21:11,536 --> 00:21:13,070
Heffner, as everyone knows,
311
00:21:13,071 --> 00:21:16,374
is the lord of the kingdom of Playboy.
312
00:21:16,375 --> 00:21:17,908
The magazine for men
313
00:21:17,909 --> 00:21:19,955
that's printed in more
than 5 million copies.
314
00:21:20,178 --> 00:21:22,346
The operative brain of Playboy dwells
315
00:21:22,347 --> 00:21:24,582
in five storeys of this skyscraper
316
00:21:24,583 --> 00:21:26,117
in the heart of Chicago.
317
00:21:26,118 --> 00:21:28,753
Here they study and photograph
318
00:21:28,754 --> 00:21:31,986
some of the most beautiful
women of the world.
319
00:21:39,398 --> 00:21:41,632
Heffner, talking about his bunnies,
320
00:21:41,633 --> 00:21:44,268
describes them as pure beauty without sin.
321
00:21:44,269 --> 00:21:47,204
The descendent of a puritan family,
322
00:21:47,205 --> 00:21:48,696
he would have never dared
323
00:21:48,774 --> 00:21:50,041
to commercialize female beauty
324
00:21:50,042 --> 00:21:53,577
if in doing so beauty
would not destroy sin.
325
00:21:53,578 --> 00:21:55,646
OK: it's a bit complicated.
326
00:21:55,647 --> 00:21:57,048
But to stand his ground
327
00:21:57,049 --> 00:21:58,349
Heffner has published
328
00:21:58,350 --> 00:21:59,650
in each issue of his magazine
329
00:21:59,651 --> 00:22:00,818
a philosophical article.
330
00:22:00,819 --> 00:22:03,454
The well known Playboy philosophy.
331
00:22:03,455 --> 00:22:05,356
There is no other philosopher in the world
332
00:22:05,357 --> 00:22:07,425
that has gained so many reader
333
00:22:07,426 --> 00:22:09,156
in so little time.
334
00:22:12,364 --> 00:22:15,733
There is no better place
to make some honest buck
335
00:22:15,734 --> 00:22:18,260
than New York's 42th street.
336
00:22:30,048 --> 00:22:31,982
Everyone owns the merchandise:
337
00:22:31,983 --> 00:22:33,451
it's blood.
338
00:22:33,452 --> 00:22:35,019
Those who are hungry, thirsty...
339
00:22:35,020 --> 00:22:36,420
who need a fix...
340
00:22:36,421 --> 00:22:38,489
who need a gun...
341
00:22:38,490 --> 00:22:40,057
have only to remember
342
00:22:40,058 --> 00:22:41,059
that they carry in their body a good
343
00:22:41,060 --> 00:22:43,160
that here, at the Blood Bank,
344
00:22:43,161 --> 00:22:44,862
is valued highly:
345
00:22:44,863 --> 00:22:46,764
5 to 20 bucks.
346
00:22:51,470 --> 00:22:55,635
Obviously price varies
with the quantity sold.
347
00:23:10,455 --> 00:23:12,523
In the arteries of this
dehumanized humanity
348
00:23:12,524 --> 00:23:14,558
blood keeps flowing.
349
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:16,594
Even tough the heart that pumps it
350
00:23:16,595 --> 00:23:18,791
counts it drop by drop.
351
00:23:34,246 --> 00:23:38,741
Don't betray Africa
while waiting to get back.
352
00:23:39,818 --> 00:23:41,786
This is one of the slogans that the 10%
353
00:23:41,787 --> 00:23:42,788
of the American population,
354
00:23:42,789 --> 00:23:44,021
the negro one,
355
00:23:44,022 --> 00:23:45,923
whispers or shouts.
356
00:23:46,024 --> 00:23:48,926
And while waiting to get to Africa,
357
00:23:48,927 --> 00:23:49,928
free at last,
358
00:23:49,929 --> 00:23:52,396
after their ancestors
were put into slavery,
359
00:23:52,397 --> 00:23:53,998
the negroes of this secret sect
360
00:23:53,999 --> 00:23:56,000
relive their memories.
361
00:23:56,001 --> 00:23:57,935
The sect is one of the manies
362
00:23:57,936 --> 00:24:00,304
that acts together with the Black Power.
363
00:24:00,305 --> 00:24:01,739
Negro power.
364
00:24:01,740 --> 00:24:04,008
That fights with the same violent means
365
00:24:04,009 --> 00:24:05,476
the white power
366
00:24:05,477 --> 00:24:06,844
while preaching the return to Africa
367
00:24:06,845 --> 00:24:08,643
of all American negroes.
368
00:24:09,748 --> 00:24:11,549
We're in the heart of New York.
369
00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:12,783
Among the very same skyscrapers
370
00:24:12,784 --> 00:24:14,377
that white people believe to be
371
00:24:14,453 --> 00:24:17,116
milestones of the world's civilization.
372
00:24:17,622 --> 00:24:19,623
In the name of the ancient
African civilization
373
00:24:19,624 --> 00:24:21,625
the negroes of this sect reenact,
374
00:24:21,626 --> 00:24:23,727
among concrete baobabs,
375
00:24:23,728 --> 00:24:26,630
the ancient rite of sexual initiation.
376
00:24:26,631 --> 00:24:28,793
A show of strength and courage.
377
00:24:55,460 --> 00:24:58,162
The witchdoctor, after parking his Caddy,
378
00:24:58,163 --> 00:25:00,231
burns on the fire the blade
379
00:25:00,232 --> 00:25:02,201
with which he will operate.
380
00:25:02,801 --> 00:25:06,303
After gettin' rid
of their expensive clothes,
381
00:25:06,304 --> 00:25:08,639
those attending dance
naked around the fire.
382
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,242
Their faces, in the frenzy of the dance,
383
00:25:11,243 --> 00:25:14,236
look like those of their savage brethren.
384
00:25:17,315 --> 00:25:20,284
Finally the rite comes to an end.
385
00:25:20,285 --> 00:25:21,752
With the same authenticity
386
00:25:21,753 --> 00:25:24,951
with which it happens
in the heart of secret Africa.
387
00:27:11,463 --> 00:27:13,130
This is psychodrama!
388
00:27:13,131 --> 00:27:14,622
A therapeutic performance
389
00:27:14,699 --> 00:27:16,133
for Americans with plenty of problems
390
00:27:16,134 --> 00:27:17,568
headed by Dr. Moreno
391
00:27:17,569 --> 00:27:21,870
a psychiatrist who lives
in his residence in Beacon, NY.
392
00:27:24,342 --> 00:27:26,677
The actors are Dr. Moreno's
very same patients.
393
00:27:26,678 --> 00:27:31,241
They reenact freely the situations
that caused their traumas.
394
00:27:36,955 --> 00:27:39,757
Even white men look in the intimacy of man
395
00:27:39,758 --> 00:27:41,392
for the secret of unhappiness.
396
00:27:41,393 --> 00:27:44,061
And through rite they try to solve it.
397
00:27:44,062 --> 00:27:50,267
These are rites that try
to understand and focus
398
00:27:50,268 --> 00:27:52,536
on every aspect of our modern culture.
399
00:27:52,537 --> 00:27:55,939
Here, to heal people from
the sadness of loneliness
400
00:27:55,940 --> 00:27:58,008
and from the anguish
of modern day alienation,
401
00:27:58,009 --> 00:28:03,175
they use psychiatry and
the healing qualities of drama.
402
00:28:14,859 --> 00:28:19,422
At the end those sick
of loneliness touch themselves,
403
00:28:19,497 --> 00:28:20,157
with their hands
404
00:28:20,231 --> 00:28:22,733
to feel the warmth of another human being.
405
00:28:22,734 --> 00:28:25,431
As they are told by science.
406
00:29:05,343 --> 00:29:07,778
But what kind of warmth can you get
407
00:29:07,779 --> 00:29:10,147
in touching with your
mouth and hands a rubber doll?
408
00:29:10,148 --> 00:29:12,276
Here you REALLY need a shrink!
409
00:29:22,827 --> 00:29:25,362
And yet, in this overcrowded desert
of loneliness called America,
410
00:29:25,363 --> 00:29:27,998
someone came up with the idea
of Jacqueline:
411
00:29:27,999 --> 00:29:31,468
the inflatable doll
that keeps you company.
412
00:29:31,469 --> 00:29:35,304
To give you the same desperate
and friendly smile each day.
413
00:29:38,743 --> 00:29:41,845
We're in NY, one of the most
crowded cities in the world.
414
00:29:41,846 --> 00:29:44,715
To get some company,
this man blows into rubber
415
00:29:44,716 --> 00:29:49,153
with the same faith with which
God blew on the mud
416
00:29:49,154 --> 00:29:50,679
and thus Adam was born.
417
00:30:26,524 --> 00:30:29,026
And Eve was born from one of his ribs.
418
00:30:29,027 --> 00:30:31,562
From a man that has killed
every hope in himself,
419
00:30:31,563 --> 00:30:34,765
like the guy who's looking
for friendship in a rubber dummy,
420
00:30:34,766 --> 00:30:38,802
what can be born if not
a woman who's looking for love
421
00:30:38,803 --> 00:30:40,771
and the happiness of understanding
in a heavy trafficked place?
422
00:30:40,772 --> 00:30:43,332
This is Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard.
423
00:31:01,526 --> 00:31:06,328
All the girls that during the week
could not find a friend for lack of time
424
00:31:06,464 --> 00:31:10,500
come to look for a man here, among the hippies
on the run from city, headed towards the desert
425
00:31:10,501 --> 00:31:13,437
and hitchin' a cheap ride.
426
00:31:25,750 --> 00:31:28,652
This is called "follow up".
427
00:31:28,653 --> 00:31:29,835
Which, more or less means,
428
00:31:29,954 --> 00:31:31,622
"hustling".
429
00:31:31,623 --> 00:31:33,390
Let's love a lot! Let's love forever!
430
00:31:33,391 --> 00:31:34,882
'Till Monday.
431
00:31:39,764 --> 00:31:43,326
A way like any other to break
down the monotony of weekends.
432
00:32:11,396 --> 00:32:14,525
And so, to break
down the monotony of moderates,
433
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:18,235
of one the most heinous crimes
of the USA has been committed.
434
00:32:18,236 --> 00:32:21,004
The killings in the home
of director Roman Polanski.
435
00:32:21,005 --> 00:32:23,307
Here Sharon Tate was murdered.
436
00:32:23,308 --> 00:32:26,209
Here died the unborn son
she was carrying in her womb.
437
00:32:26,210 --> 00:32:29,237
Here her friends were
slaughtered during a party.
438
00:32:29,314 --> 00:32:32,983
For some time the police tried to profile
the murders, signed with the word "Pigs!",
439
00:32:32,984 --> 00:32:35,852
to a logical motive.
440
00:32:36,988 --> 00:32:39,890
The word was written with the blood
of those slaughtered there.
441
00:32:39,891 --> 00:32:43,126
Then it was discovered that
the murders had no reason whatsoever.
442
00:32:43,127 --> 00:32:44,661
It came into happening almost by... magic.
443
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:45,996
Among a clan of young people
444
00:32:45,997 --> 00:32:48,665
who through a criminally insane blood rite
445
00:32:48,666 --> 00:32:52,899
were seeking revenge for having
been brought into the world.
446
00:33:36,347 --> 00:33:39,182
The day before the killers
of Sharon Tate confessed
447
00:33:39,183 --> 00:33:43,353
our crew could film
an almost identical rite
448
00:33:43,354 --> 00:33:47,457
to that performed by the Tate murders.
449
00:33:47,458 --> 00:33:52,920
The body of a girl, drugged
and hypnotized, is cleansed by hot wax.
450
00:35:08,139 --> 00:35:10,974
Everything is happening
in the name of Satan.
451
00:35:10,975 --> 00:35:14,639
The blood of the victim
is swallowed by all.
452
00:35:32,563 --> 00:35:36,032
In a society in which everything
is controlled by machines
453
00:35:36,033 --> 00:35:39,102
where machines threatens to replace man
454
00:35:39,103 --> 00:35:44,440
man tries desperately to find a dimension
where machines can not harm him.
455
00:35:45,109 --> 00:35:47,511
So is the cruel folly
of Black Masses born.
456
00:35:47,512 --> 00:35:51,248
Or the exotic mysticism
coming from some distant past.
457
00:35:51,249 --> 00:35:54,784
No one among those busy people
building modern America
458
00:35:54,785 --> 00:35:57,053
that was winning the race
for the future, could have guessed
459
00:35:57,054 --> 00:36:01,525
that among Uncle Sam's nephews were those
460
00:36:01,526 --> 00:36:06,530
who were desperately looking backwards.
461
00:36:06,531 --> 00:36:10,033
We're watching the Indian
rite of Rama Krishna.
462
00:36:10,034 --> 00:36:13,095
In this America, at the
threshold of the Seventies.
463
00:36:22,580 --> 00:36:25,549
Scared by their own soulless perfection,
464
00:36:25,550 --> 00:36:28,118
scared by a technological religion
465
00:36:28,119 --> 00:36:33,190
these young people are treading
backwards the path of civilization.
466
00:36:33,191 --> 00:36:35,859
The quest for new extraterrestrial worlds
467
00:36:35,860 --> 00:36:40,059
is replaced by the retreat
into an unreal world
468
00:36:40,131 --> 00:36:41,565
buried in the subconscious
469
00:36:41,566 --> 00:36:43,066
into the... Eternal.
470
00:36:43,067 --> 00:36:45,036
The children are watching.
471
00:36:45,570 --> 00:36:50,201
The conflict between those
civilizations is just a game to them.
472
00:37:35,586 --> 00:37:38,622
A silent, unreal, endless, empty land
473
00:37:38,623 --> 00:37:42,392
is the place where the last
native American Indians live today.
474
00:37:42,393 --> 00:37:43,493
The true Americans.
475
00:37:50,968 --> 00:37:54,137
Arizona's Grand Canyon bares
it's magnificent horizon
476
00:37:54,138 --> 00:37:56,640
before the dried eyes of a race
477
00:37:56,641 --> 00:38:00,134
that has been pushed
to the brinks of society.
478
00:38:01,112 --> 00:38:03,947
This is what is still
standing of their America.
479
00:38:03,948 --> 00:38:06,249
A huge graveyard of memories.
480
00:38:06,250 --> 00:38:10,950
This grave silence in which the last
war cry vanished long time ago.
481
00:38:11,622 --> 00:38:13,857
Their homes are dug in the rocks.
482
00:38:13,858 --> 00:38:16,092
No hygienic facilities nor electric light.
483
00:38:16,093 --> 00:38:18,361
Grass does not grow on their land.
484
00:38:18,362 --> 00:38:19,728
Nor life.
485
00:38:22,833 --> 00:38:25,302
We filmed these images on the same day
486
00:38:25,303 --> 00:38:26,836
in the same hours in which the Apollo 12
487
00:38:26,837 --> 00:38:27,937
was landing on the moon.
488
00:38:27,938 --> 00:38:31,397
Thus unveiling a new page
of the history of the world.
489
00:38:31,909 --> 00:38:35,111
Even old chief Sitting Bull
is looking at a lunar landscape.
490
00:38:35,112 --> 00:38:38,014
It's the moon on earth that
the white man has left for him.
491
00:38:38,082 --> 00:38:39,449
To die for.
492
00:38:39,450 --> 00:38:42,477
To close the last page of his history.
493
00:38:49,293 --> 00:38:51,394
Here's the other side of the moon.
494
00:38:51,395 --> 00:38:54,197
Only 500 miles away from
the Indian reservation.
495
00:38:54,198 --> 00:38:56,766
Electric light is wasted here.
496
00:38:56,767 --> 00:38:57,768
Las Vegas!
497
00:38:57,769 --> 00:39:00,704
World's Capital City
of Gambling and Futility.
498
00:39:00,705 --> 00:39:02,706
And of the most outrageous vices!
499
00:39:02,707 --> 00:39:05,809
The only rule in Las Vegas
is the rule of the game.
500
00:39:05,810 --> 00:39:07,277
You cannot stay in Las Vegas
if you are not willing
501
00:39:07,278 --> 00:39:09,979
at least for one night
502
00:39:09,980 --> 00:39:12,435
to be driven by the stupid rules
of the gambling rules.
503
00:39:15,453 --> 00:39:17,587
Everyone gambles. Even priests.
504
00:39:17,588 --> 00:39:19,189
Praising the Lord
505
00:39:19,190 --> 00:39:23,355
at the ring of the coins
that come crashing down.
506
00:39:29,266 --> 00:39:31,701
Las Vegas: a big dive into escapism.
507
00:39:43,514 --> 00:39:46,015
In order for adult to enjoys
themselves without worries
508
00:39:46,016 --> 00:39:47,650
children too need to have fun.
509
00:39:47,651 --> 00:39:50,780
Near the gambling rooms
is this circus with acrobats
510
00:39:50,855 --> 00:39:52,389
and other artists.
511
00:39:52,390 --> 00:39:55,158
Their job is to entertain
the gambler's children
512
00:39:55,159 --> 00:39:56,750
while they are loosing their money.
513
00:40:45,843 --> 00:40:47,977
If the gamblers still feel like children
514
00:40:47,978 --> 00:40:51,176
they can play a very
peculiar skittle game.
515
00:41:02,426 --> 00:41:04,292
Three balls, one woman.
516
00:41:15,806 --> 00:41:20,276
Sociologists say that
the American male is still a child.
517
00:41:20,277 --> 00:41:25,281
Las Vegas entertainers have found
a way of mixing together
518
00:41:25,282 --> 00:41:27,444
childish ingenuousness and adult malice.
519
00:41:38,262 --> 00:41:42,999
The Las Vegas girls bare themselves
each time the ball hits the bullseye.
520
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,562
And, we have to admit, as a price
their are far better than candies.
521
00:42:54,338 --> 00:42:56,139
Better luck next time buddy!
522
00:42:56,140 --> 00:43:00,443
Someone, deep in the Las Vegas night,
finds death.
523
00:43:00,444 --> 00:43:04,113
We have shot this images
with the help of the police.
524
00:43:04,114 --> 00:43:07,744
We're looking for a man
vanished in the desert
525
00:43:07,818 --> 00:43:11,414
after having lost everything
at the poker table.
526
00:43:22,700 --> 00:43:26,502
The chopper we're flying on
serves this hallucinatory tasks.
527
00:43:26,503 --> 00:43:30,373
To get on it we had to beg:
no one in the capital city
528
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:35,108
of gambling wants these sad aspects
of its life to be revealed.
529
00:44:03,874 --> 00:44:06,776
We hope to find the man still alive.
530
00:44:06,777 --> 00:44:08,712
But the police knows better.
531
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:10,613
This kind of people, so they told us,
532
00:44:10,614 --> 00:44:13,083
comes this far just to put
a bullet in their brain.
533
00:44:17,888 --> 00:44:20,858
There he is: the American issue
of the great sinner!
534
00:45:22,386 --> 00:45:24,651
Sadly, there's nothing left to do.
535
00:45:45,309 --> 00:45:47,210
The police keeps us away
from the dead body
536
00:45:47,211 --> 00:45:49,278
because they do not want us
to film it's face.
537
00:45:49,279 --> 00:45:52,078
We try, but there's nothing we can do.
538
00:45:58,522 --> 00:46:02,325
No. They do not allow us to film the face.
539
00:46:02,326 --> 00:46:04,327
They do not want that the Las Vegas dawn
540
00:46:04,328 --> 00:46:06,456
has the same face of this sad suicide.
541
00:46:12,202 --> 00:46:15,138
America's most powerful,
triumphant and rich face
542
00:46:15,139 --> 00:46:18,337
is this one: a face whose vital force
goes by the name of oil.
543
00:46:18,842 --> 00:46:20,676
This is California.
544
00:46:20,677 --> 00:46:21,878
According to economic statistics
it's the country
545
00:46:21,879 --> 00:46:24,647
with the largest numbers of millionaires.
546
00:46:24,648 --> 00:46:26,014
According to shrinks
547
00:46:26,083 --> 00:46:29,318
this is the country with
the largest percentage of neurotics.
548
00:46:29,319 --> 00:46:33,156
No one yet has put these two
informations on the same balance.
549
00:46:33,157 --> 00:46:34,590
To check to which side it leans.
550
00:46:34,591 --> 00:46:36,526
For or against humanity.
551
00:46:38,896 --> 00:46:41,230
Like the keys of a huge piano
552
00:46:41,231 --> 00:46:44,167
the wells keeps digging
oil out of the ground.
553
00:46:44,935 --> 00:46:46,636
Each note of this crazy symphony
554
00:46:46,637 --> 00:46:48,629
is worth three dollars.
555
00:47:06,990 --> 00:47:08,558
The mind of an average man
556
00:47:08,559 --> 00:47:11,794
cannot imagine the real
value of this wealth.
557
00:47:11,795 --> 00:47:14,530
The incredible power
that can be born from it.
558
00:47:14,531 --> 00:47:17,867
For people who have to struggle
daily for their lives
559
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,963
the thrill that stems
from such wealth is unthinkable.
560
00:47:37,788 --> 00:47:39,889
It's unthinkable, crazy. Exactly
561
00:47:39,890 --> 00:47:42,725
like the speed at which these cars race.
562
00:47:42,726 --> 00:47:43,826
Completely useless cars.
563
00:47:44,962 --> 00:47:47,730
The cowboys exchanged
their horses for a car
564
00:47:47,731 --> 00:47:51,668
to cover one mile at a 250 mph speed.
565
00:48:40,183 --> 00:48:44,020
In the end these wacky races
with these incredible cars
566
00:48:44,021 --> 00:48:46,622
are the equivalent of old time rodeos
567
00:48:46,623 --> 00:48:51,061
in which cowboys showed
off taming wild horses.
568
00:50:17,748 --> 00:50:21,207
Someone said: speed kills time.
569
00:50:21,952 --> 00:50:25,154
How many are the Americans
that try to kill time?
570
00:50:25,155 --> 00:50:27,156
At 200 miles distance from NY
571
00:50:27,157 --> 00:50:28,924
and few miles away from Philadelphia
572
00:50:28,925 --> 00:50:30,826
lives a community that has decided
573
00:50:30,827 --> 00:50:33,496
to freeze time at the threshold
of the 18th century.
574
00:50:33,497 --> 00:50:34,864
They are the Hamish,
575
00:50:34,865 --> 00:50:36,999
the last descendants of the Dutch,
576
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,668
who bought a slice of America
from the native Americans.
577
00:50:39,669 --> 00:50:45,040
They live without motors,
electric light and modern clothes.
578
00:50:45,108 --> 00:50:47,109
They do not use radio or TV.
579
00:50:47,110 --> 00:50:50,846
To them the moon is still
a dream satellite.
580
00:50:50,847 --> 00:50:53,817
They move with carriages.
581
00:51:03,627 --> 00:51:04,994
When tomorrow someone will tell them
582
00:51:04,995 --> 00:51:07,463
that a spaceship has landed on the moon
583
00:51:07,464 --> 00:51:10,199
they will deny the news with
the same indignation
584
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,701
with which they shy away from our cameras.
585
00:51:12,702 --> 00:51:14,003
But how long
586
00:51:14,004 --> 00:51:18,203
can they go on resisting against
time that marches on?
587
00:51:48,405 --> 00:51:51,040
Hawaii: legendary heaven!
588
00:51:51,041 --> 00:51:54,409
But they had to surrender
to the marines of mass tourism.
589
00:51:54,711 --> 00:51:57,546
Advertised to Americans and
people from all over the world
590
00:51:57,547 --> 00:51:59,181
as a triumph of nature,
591
00:51:59,182 --> 00:52:01,208
they have been colonized
by the specialists
592
00:52:01,284 --> 00:52:03,150
of concrete and plastic.
593
00:52:28,044 --> 00:52:31,147
The Polynesian society,
exploited and destroyed,
594
00:52:31,148 --> 00:52:35,151
has been rebuild in a kind
a mechanical crib.
595
00:52:35,152 --> 00:52:37,987
A bunch a moving dummies
in flesh and blood
596
00:52:37,988 --> 00:52:39,922
that stage among plastic flowers
597
00:52:39,923 --> 00:52:42,518
the most beautiful rites
of what's left of their culture.
598
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,772
This is the Polynesian Center.
599
00:52:56,773 --> 00:52:59,375
One of the most noble society of the Ocean
600
00:52:59,376 --> 00:53:01,743
has become an amusement
park like Disneyland.
601
00:53:24,501 --> 00:53:27,169
Meltin' pot of races, customs and habits
602
00:53:27,170 --> 00:53:31,774
America buys what the refugees
of other cultures are forced to sell.
603
00:53:31,775 --> 00:53:35,211
In NY an old Chinese called Mr. Chu
604
00:53:35,212 --> 00:53:38,514
teaches theoretically
his country's art of loving.
605
00:53:38,515 --> 00:53:40,983
His feathers shows his pupils
606
00:53:40,984 --> 00:53:44,477
the map of love on the body of this girl.
607
00:53:46,623 --> 00:53:48,290
Caress here,
608
00:53:48,291 --> 00:53:49,792
and here.
609
00:53:49,793 --> 00:53:51,927
A kiss... here.
610
00:53:51,928 --> 00:53:53,729
It's school or a show?
611
00:53:53,730 --> 00:53:58,031
For old Mr. Chu it's just a way of living.
612
00:54:22,025 --> 00:54:26,662
Life, speed of modern
life notwithstanding, flows
613
00:54:26,663 --> 00:54:29,098
with the majestic slowness
of the old river,
614
00:54:29,099 --> 00:54:30,199
the Mississippi.
615
00:54:30,634 --> 00:54:31,767
Hundred years ago
616
00:54:31,768 --> 00:54:34,603
the river listened to the painful
chanting of the slaves
617
00:54:34,604 --> 00:54:37,539
sentenced to burn their
lives in the cotton fields
618
00:54:37,540 --> 00:54:39,133
of the white masters.
619
00:54:57,327 --> 00:55:00,629
Now the same waters,
the same vastness of nature
620
00:55:00,630 --> 00:55:03,361
are witness to a life closer
to real human values.
621
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,869
Uncle Tom's cabin is gone forever.
622
00:55:06,870 --> 00:55:09,872
These are men no longer chained.
623
00:55:09,873 --> 00:55:11,535
The chanting is no more mournful.
624
00:55:11,608 --> 00:55:13,236
It's the howling of machines.
625
00:55:18,848 --> 00:55:21,116
Something stronger than the law anchors
626
00:55:21,117 --> 00:55:22,584
the white man to the past.
627
00:55:22,585 --> 00:55:24,110
It's racial hatred.
628
00:55:24,854 --> 00:55:27,389
We're in Fayette a small village
with 1000 inhabitants.
629
00:55:27,390 --> 00:55:31,226
Here the negroes, outcounting
the white voters,
630
00:55:31,227 --> 00:55:34,596
have elected the first black mayor
of American history.
631
00:55:34,597 --> 00:55:36,432
His name is Evers.
632
00:55:36,433 --> 00:55:40,996
His brother, a unionist, was killed
a few years ago by racists.
633
00:55:41,071 --> 00:55:43,972
The mayor is a hero for the negro people.
634
00:55:43,973 --> 00:55:46,033
But an usurper for too many whities.
635
00:55:50,313 --> 00:55:53,148
The newspaper of his own city,
The Fayette Chronicle
636
00:55:53,149 --> 00:55:57,052
lead by Mrs. Walker, attacks
him brutally on a daily basis.
637
00:55:57,053 --> 00:55:59,021
This is Mrs. Walker.
638
00:55:59,022 --> 00:56:00,789
Before granting us an interview
639
00:56:00,790 --> 00:56:02,424
she showed us proudly
640
00:56:02,425 --> 00:56:03,992
the family bell of her house
641
00:56:03,993 --> 00:56:07,691
with which her father
called his negro slaves.
642
00:56:08,465 --> 00:56:10,933
- Can we ask you a few questions?
- Sure. Shoot.
643
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:17,238
How has the the situation in Fayette
changed with a black mayor?
644
00:56:21,611 --> 00:56:25,912
Even tough it's too early to say I haven't
noticed any positive changes at all.
645
00:56:27,817 --> 00:56:30,753
And sure enough he's not done yet
what he's promised to do.
646
00:56:33,456 --> 00:56:36,824
Do you think racial equality
is a good thing?
647
00:56:36,893 --> 00:56:40,262
- You wanna know if I agree with it?
- Absolutely no!
648
00:56:40,263 --> 00:56:43,165
Do you want to explain
why you're against it?
649
00:56:43,166 --> 00:56:49,338
- I believe it's against nature.
- If the good God wanted integration
650
00:56:49,339 --> 00:56:52,841
He would not have created any difference
among colors and skins of white and blacks.
651
00:56:52,842 --> 00:56:55,711
Instead He would have created
just one race of men.
652
00:56:55,712 --> 00:56:59,214
It's only a matter of the
difference between black and white?
653
00:56:59,215 --> 00:57:04,176
No. The difference is the greater
intelligence of white people.
654
00:57:06,156 --> 00:57:08,991
What do you think is God's skin color?
655
00:57:08,992 --> 00:57:12,554
He' surely white.
656
00:57:16,065 --> 00:57:18,534
My skin is black and I'm proud of this!
657
00:57:18,535 --> 00:57:21,069
We hate white people because
white people hate us.
658
00:57:21,070 --> 00:57:27,676
This is the proud answer with which the Black
Panther reply to all the Mrs. Walker of America.
659
00:57:27,677 --> 00:57:30,379
Hundred years after the end
of the Civil War
660
00:57:30,380 --> 00:57:32,815
black America gets ready for the last war.
661
00:57:32,816 --> 00:57:35,451
Violence, say the Black Panthers,
662
00:57:35,452 --> 00:57:38,854
is the only chance to gain respect
for the color of our skin.
663
00:57:39,355 --> 00:57:43,520
Racist violence explodes heinously
at the lowest steps of the the social ladder.
664
00:57:44,260 --> 00:57:45,961
These are lumberjacks from the south.
665
00:57:45,962 --> 00:57:47,453
The REDNECKS!
666
00:57:48,932 --> 00:57:51,400
So called because the sun
burnt their necks.
667
00:57:51,401 --> 00:57:54,098
Among them are the worst
enemies of the negroes.
668
00:57:54,170 --> 00:57:58,631
That's because they live on
the lowest step of society.
669
00:57:58,708 --> 00:58:03,669
And so to kill or lynch black people makes
the rednecks feel worthy human beings.
670
00:58:06,149 --> 00:58:07,449
There's a man on the run.
671
00:58:07,450 --> 00:58:11,114
A negro. Guilty of having
touched a white girl.
672
00:58:11,521 --> 00:58:12,988
The hunt begins.
673
00:58:12,989 --> 00:58:15,991
It's just the first step of a vengeance
that will ignite other vengeances.
674
00:58:15,992 --> 00:58:19,360
That will prompt the Black Panthers
to exact the life of a white man.
675
00:58:45,555 --> 00:58:47,890
Wild justice is done this way.
676
00:58:47,891 --> 00:58:49,458
Following an ancient ritual.
677
00:58:49,459 --> 00:58:51,159
As ancient as racial hatred.
678
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,857
And a hand beaten to a pulp
by a wooden stick.
679
00:59:28,731 --> 00:59:30,198
Exploited and bleed to death, Africa
680
00:59:30,199 --> 00:59:32,801
is still a promised land
for the American negroes,
681
00:59:32,802 --> 00:59:37,539
but no more than an amusement
park to white people.
682
00:59:37,540 --> 00:59:41,376
A park in which to play out all the
fantasies of forbidden adventures.
683
00:59:41,377 --> 00:59:43,946
This is Africa as imagined
by the rich Americans.
684
00:59:43,947 --> 00:59:47,111
An Africa rebuild in Florida with
the help of millions of dollars.
685
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:02,764
It's a fake Africa. A gigantic zoo.
686
01:00:02,765 --> 01:00:06,759
For the children that always
play with continents and stars.
687
01:00:34,998 --> 01:00:37,032
Make love not war!
688
01:00:37,033 --> 01:00:39,332
Say the rhinos on the picture.
689
01:00:39,402 --> 01:00:41,997
But Americans make love AND war.
690
01:01:00,490 --> 01:01:04,126
These are neither flower children,
nor hippies, nor pacifists.
691
01:01:04,127 --> 01:01:05,827
They are good American bourgeois.
692
01:01:05,828 --> 01:01:08,296
During the week they have
an absolute normal life.
693
01:01:08,297 --> 01:01:10,298
Strictly observing the rules
of official politics
694
01:01:10,299 --> 01:01:11,733
and traditional moral values.
695
01:01:19,442 --> 01:01:21,309
But from Friday night to Sunday...
696
01:01:21,310 --> 01:01:23,111
they grant themselves a holiday.
697
01:01:23,112 --> 01:01:26,048
They forget war and faithfulness
in all matters of love.
698
01:01:26,049 --> 01:01:28,150
These are Saturday
night's forbidden games.
699
01:01:28,151 --> 01:01:29,518
Everyone wears a mask.
700
01:01:29,519 --> 01:01:31,520
As they used to do
at the carnival in Venice.
701
01:01:31,521 --> 01:01:33,522
The difference is that
here they mask only the head.
702
01:01:33,523 --> 01:01:35,557
The rest of the costume
is the same for everybody.
703
01:01:35,558 --> 01:01:37,659
As mommy made you.
704
01:01:37,660 --> 01:01:43,999
A little mask frees them
from every problem and fear.
705
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,468
Away with shyness...
here comes the fun.
706
01:01:46,469 --> 01:01:48,665
And every one humps every one.
707
01:01:50,406 --> 01:01:54,707
I know you little naughty girl,
said our grandparents
708
01:01:54,777 --> 01:01:58,459
while taking the mask away. But in this
case it's better if we leave the masks on.
709
01:02:39,088 --> 01:02:42,491
Other kind of masks reveal
the American nature.
710
01:02:42,492 --> 01:02:47,021
This little plastic monsters
are fashionable toys for kids.
711
01:02:58,174 --> 01:02:59,108
Once upon a time there were fairy tales.
712
01:02:59,109 --> 01:03:02,944
Where the bad always lost and
the good and the beautiful won.
713
01:03:02,945 --> 01:03:09,718
In the richest country of the world
these stories are no longer needed.
714
01:03:09,719 --> 01:03:11,586
Children play with horror.
715
01:03:11,587 --> 01:03:14,456
Fear and terror are just
a way of having fun.
716
01:03:14,457 --> 01:03:17,659
Farewell, bogeyman, farewell werewolf.
Farewell!
717
01:03:17,660 --> 01:03:22,130
From a pedagogical point of view this
destruction of fear is a healthy thing.
718
01:03:22,131 --> 01:03:25,863
A very good one indeed.
719
01:03:39,081 --> 01:03:42,584
But can we state the same for adults?
720
01:03:42,585 --> 01:03:47,489
America, blessed by material wealth,
ignores the depths of death.
721
01:03:47,490 --> 01:03:51,927
America has killed death as much as Macbeth,
according to Shakespeare, has killed dreaming.
722
01:03:51,928 --> 01:03:54,930
Men head toward the sunset
of their life smiling.
723
01:03:54,931 --> 01:03:57,999
As much as their grandchildren
play with horror toys.
724
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:04,072
For those who serve America and for those
whom America needs, there is no fear of death.
725
01:04:04,073 --> 01:04:08,510
On this Miami Beach land men that
don't need to go back anymore.
726
01:04:08,511 --> 01:04:10,980
This is their last amusement park.
727
01:04:13,983 --> 01:04:20,890
If we could sum all these people's ages,
we would possibly obtain earth's age.
728
01:04:20,957 --> 01:04:29,931
But from this task comes one of the few truths
of America: those who have worked are looked after
729
01:04:29,932 --> 01:04:35,036
and these retirements are never
just a waiting room for death to come.
730
01:04:35,037 --> 01:04:38,473
If only for this one reason,
it's worth living in America.
731
01:04:38,474 --> 01:04:41,205
Just to forget the final
price of human life.
732
01:05:03,232 --> 01:05:06,835
This gent looks a bit dead?
Not at all: the finger moves!
733
01:05:06,836 --> 01:05:08,503
At least the finger does.
734
01:05:08,504 --> 01:05:18,503
And after the almost dying that are
full of life thanks to hope and fun
735
01:05:37,867 --> 01:05:41,395
it's the turn of the dead who look
like funny wax statues of themselves.
736
01:05:54,850 --> 01:05:56,716
The continent of profit and happiness
737
01:05:56,786 --> 01:05:59,554
does not accept the end of
neither profit or happiness.
738
01:05:59,555 --> 01:06:04,092
We're in LA. Here the dead bodies
are made ready for their last parade.
739
01:06:04,093 --> 01:06:07,929
Romanticism was born in Europe
from death and love.
740
01:06:07,930 --> 01:06:11,866
Translated in dollars, this same culture
offers the view of magnificent girls
741
01:06:11,867 --> 01:06:16,601
that make up the dead bodies eternal rest.
742
01:06:52,041 --> 01:06:54,977
A clear example of an... idle hand.
743
01:06:55,811 --> 01:06:58,880
Death does not exist: it's an order!
744
01:06:58,881 --> 01:07:00,482
If death would exist even for America,
745
01:07:00,483 --> 01:07:03,018
says a tiny voice hidden somewhere
in our conscience,
746
01:07:03,019 --> 01:07:05,487
the world would have a different face.
747
01:07:05,488 --> 01:07:11,760
To help them ignore death, this beautiful girls
give these dead bodies a smiling, happy face.
748
01:07:11,761 --> 01:07:17,665
The exact face chosen by their relatives
on the catalogues of the funeral homes.
749
01:07:17,666 --> 01:07:27,665
But the final solution belongs to the
funeral homes that dispose of the bodies.
750
01:07:33,883 --> 01:07:36,084
Better book on time if
you want a good service!
751
01:07:36,085 --> 01:07:40,822
Then you can have all the optionals: even a grave
with electricity for the Christmas tree.
752
01:07:40,823 --> 01:07:44,089
Just to keep on celebrating
life's anniversaries.
753
01:07:55,471 --> 01:07:58,039
If someone wants to paint
naked bodies of living girls,
754
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:00,737
he only needs to go 39th street,
New York.
755
01:08:00,976 --> 01:08:02,377
Exactly at the corner with Broadway.
756
01:08:02,378 --> 01:08:03,212
Each one of these...
757
01:08:03,213 --> 01:08:05,180
living canvasses
758
01:08:05,181 --> 01:08:06,649
costs 5 bucks each.
759
01:08:19,562 --> 01:08:21,296
The use of fantasy is free.
760
01:08:21,297 --> 01:08:23,798
As is the entrance granted
both to painters and non-painters.
761
01:08:23,799 --> 01:08:26,868
Don't need to be ashamed
if you can't paint.
762
01:08:26,869 --> 01:08:29,395
No place for modesty around here.
763
01:09:26,529 --> 01:09:32,000
As there is no more place for the
garbage that heaps up daily in NY.
764
01:09:32,001 --> 01:09:35,470
Those in charge of the
waste management of NY
765
01:09:35,471 --> 01:09:39,307
don't know anymore how to
dispose the tons of garbage
766
01:09:39,308 --> 01:09:43,245
produced by skyscrapers and factories.
767
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,101
Someone tried to do the math.
768
01:10:07,102 --> 01:10:12,740
In a year the city produces enough garbage
to fill up the Empire State Building.
769
01:10:12,741 --> 01:10:15,043
The architectonic pride of the city.
770
01:10:15,044 --> 01:10:17,812
The world's highest skyscraper.
771
01:10:17,813 --> 01:10:21,683
Incinerators are not enough anymore.
772
01:10:21,684 --> 01:10:26,487
There are boats that cross
the river Hudson night and day.
773
01:10:26,488 --> 01:10:27,589
Never stopping.
774
01:10:27,590 --> 01:10:31,083
To discharge on State
Island the waste excess.
775
01:10:41,770 --> 01:10:45,640
There, where the boats unload,
an island of waste is growing.
776
01:10:45,641 --> 01:10:49,444
A hill not foreseen by nature.
That becomes larger day after day.
777
01:10:49,445 --> 01:10:52,677
An artificial paradise for
seagulls and other birds.
778
01:11:32,054 --> 01:11:38,192
No need to be a gourmet to eat in a restaurant
whose best dish is a surprise.
779
01:11:38,193 --> 01:11:41,896
In fact under the food
lie pornographic pictures.
780
01:11:41,897 --> 01:11:43,297
Food is an excuse.
781
01:11:43,365 --> 01:11:47,359
Eating is like watching
a gastronomic strip tease.
782
01:11:50,639 --> 01:11:55,009
The uniforms of the waitresses are
completely in tune with the pornodishes.
783
01:12:08,390 --> 01:12:12,927
The usual question, what's the chef's suggestion,
is better not to be asked in this place.
784
01:12:12,928 --> 01:12:17,298
You're likely to get this kind of answer:
hasn't your mother told you anything?
785
01:12:38,387 --> 01:12:42,156
These are a different breed of gourmet.
They gather here at sunset.
786
01:12:42,157 --> 01:12:44,659
And at sunset they eat.
787
01:12:44,660 --> 01:12:48,324
The main dish today is...
cockroaches à la nature.
788
01:13:14,857 --> 01:13:18,092
There's only one way to get
back to purity, believe the hippies.
789
01:13:18,093 --> 01:13:19,293
Go back to nature.
790
01:13:19,294 --> 01:13:21,496
And to nature belong cockroaches too.
791
01:13:21,497 --> 01:13:23,731
Or desert spiders or mice.
792
01:13:23,732 --> 01:13:25,500
It's all a matter of habit.
793
01:13:25,501 --> 01:13:27,101
A matter of overcoming preconceived ideas,
794
01:13:27,102 --> 01:13:29,435
hygienic rules and caution.
795
01:14:50,185 --> 01:14:53,417
What is the difference after all
between the cockroach eating hippies
796
01:14:53,489 --> 01:14:55,823
and these crazy motorbike riders?
797
01:14:55,824 --> 01:15:01,395
They know exactly what's at stake:
broken heads and broken bones.
798
01:15:01,396 --> 01:15:05,266
They know the game may
have a tragic outcome.
799
01:15:05,267 --> 01:15:06,633
But they play the game anyway.
800
01:15:26,288 --> 01:15:31,259
America, home of safety and wealth,
feels the need for danger.
801
01:15:31,260 --> 01:15:34,695
The violation of moral
and individual codes.
802
01:15:34,696 --> 01:15:37,064
Otherwise no one would have
thought of calling "angels"
803
01:15:37,065 --> 01:15:38,666
these angels from hell
804
01:15:38,667 --> 01:15:42,036
who have put all their power's search
and self expression
805
01:15:42,037 --> 01:15:43,204
in a motorbike.
806
01:15:43,205 --> 01:15:45,706
Addicted to the howl of the engines,
807
01:15:45,707 --> 01:15:48,709
slaves, instead of masters,
of their crazy machines
808
01:15:48,710 --> 01:15:50,678
they conquer the freedom they don't have
809
01:15:50,679 --> 01:15:53,381
by threatening the lives of those
who cross their path.
810
01:15:53,382 --> 01:15:54,582
Why they do behave this way,
811
01:15:54,583 --> 01:15:57,018
no known language can put it into words.
812
01:15:57,019 --> 01:15:59,654
They just express it through short,
desperate sentences.
813
01:15:59,655 --> 01:16:03,183
We've recorded some of these words,
apparently with no meaning at all.
814
01:16:03,625 --> 01:16:07,620
In their words there's just a hatred
that no philosopher will ever explain.
815
01:16:09,131 --> 01:16:13,200
- What do you think of America?
- America? What do you mean?
816
01:16:13,201 --> 01:16:15,636
I mean the USA. Your country.
817
01:16:15,637 --> 01:16:17,274
I don't give a shit about America.
818
01:16:18,206 --> 01:16:21,699
- It's just another shitty country!
- We don't give a shit!
819
01:16:32,554 --> 01:16:34,021
My bike's enough for me!
820
01:16:34,022 --> 01:16:37,424
A girl on my ass and a road!
821
01:17:01,149 --> 01:17:02,981
But who are you angry at?
822
01:17:03,051 --> 01:17:05,052
With everyone who's breaking our balls!
823
01:17:05,053 --> 01:17:08,615
Those well-meaning idiots who want
us to behave the way they do!
824
01:17:10,959 --> 01:17:12,893
And the cops?
825
01:17:12,894 --> 01:17:17,832
We pity them because they're payed
by the administration to enforce the so called laws.
826
01:17:18,967 --> 01:17:22,370
If we find a cop that really believes
in it, we challenge him to race us!
827
01:17:22,371 --> 01:17:23,896
No cop will ever catch us!
828
01:17:34,316 --> 01:17:37,385
The hippy is fashionable.
And not only in fashion.
829
01:17:37,386 --> 01:17:41,289
In New York as in San Francisco
exist magazines called free press.
830
01:17:41,356 --> 01:17:47,161
But along the usual articles
against war and bourgeois values
831
01:17:47,162 --> 01:17:52,099
there are ads in which
hippies of both sexes
832
01:17:52,100 --> 01:17:54,899
declare themselves available
for all sorts of... encounters.
833
01:17:57,839 --> 01:17:59,473
It's new form a of prostitution:
834
01:17:59,474 --> 01:18:01,242
cherished by the so
called free love morals,
835
01:18:01,243 --> 01:18:03,906
a little less by the stalwarts
of traditional values.
836
01:18:04,346 --> 01:18:09,410
Especially if this free love thing is a mean
to milk money from the hated bourgeois
837
01:18:09,518 --> 01:18:11,987
and thus preparing the long awaited...
revolution.
838
01:18:12,054 --> 01:18:13,854
Get yourself a hippy!
839
01:18:13,855 --> 01:18:16,188
Discounts for more multiple services!
840
01:18:22,597 --> 01:18:23,764
But before making love to them,
841
01:18:23,765 --> 01:18:27,735
the girls do not give up
on the good bourgeois manners.
842
01:18:27,736 --> 01:18:29,068
Hippy? Yes.
843
01:18:29,137 --> 01:18:30,438
But clean!
844
01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:32,506
If you wanna make love,
get yourself a bath!
845
01:18:32,507 --> 01:18:34,772
And get yourself some scent
too, my dear boy.
846
01:19:13,715 --> 01:19:15,850
We're now at Alcatraz Island.
847
01:19:15,851 --> 01:19:16,451
The native Americans
848
01:19:16,452 --> 01:19:19,820
who read now between the lines
of the codes of white man
849
01:19:19,821 --> 01:19:21,322
have taken the island over.
850
01:19:21,323 --> 01:19:24,959
Using an old clause that
was meant to rip them of.
851
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:28,729
All the lands that the USA
will not use will be yours,
852
01:19:28,730 --> 01:19:30,364
states the ancient law.
853
01:19:30,365 --> 01:19:34,201
Alcatraz, legendary prison,
has been abandoned by the whites.
854
01:19:34,202 --> 01:19:36,871
The natives, instead,
got themselves a reminder.
855
01:19:36,872 --> 01:19:38,973
Everywhere are cardboards that state...
856
01:19:38,974 --> 01:19:41,534
This Land Is My Land.
857
01:20:11,006 --> 01:20:12,506
The native Americans,
858
01:20:12,507 --> 01:20:16,544
that we saw a few minutes ago scanning
with an empty gaze a lunar landscape
859
01:20:16,545 --> 01:20:19,680
have just begun their last
war with the white man.
860
01:20:19,681 --> 01:20:21,616
America, the most extreme meltin' pot
861
01:20:21,783 --> 01:20:24,116
of races, cultures and beliefs,
862
01:20:24,386 --> 01:20:27,955
thru the symbolic occupation of Alcatraz
863
01:20:27,956 --> 01:20:29,788
goes back to her most heartfelt origins:
864
01:20:49,544 --> 01:20:52,946
where different races meet
but don't get conquered.
865
01:20:53,982 --> 01:20:58,545
This is the meaning too of a play by a
San Francisco underground theater group.
866
01:20:59,054 --> 01:21:01,322
A boy made up like a negro and a girl
867
01:21:01,323 --> 01:21:04,692
love and kiss each other
wrapped in the American flag.
868
01:21:04,693 --> 01:21:07,822
But instead of the stars that stand
for the different States
869
01:21:07,896 --> 01:21:09,626
we get the colors of free love.
870
01:21:34,122 --> 01:21:36,657
But, while making love,
the young negro becomes white.
871
01:21:36,658 --> 01:21:41,595
It means that against all racial
and sexual prejudices
872
01:21:41,596 --> 01:21:45,931
love destroys all kind of differences.
873
01:22:26,508 --> 01:22:28,008
It's love.
874
01:22:28,009 --> 01:22:30,678
This immense anti war rally is love.
875
01:22:30,679 --> 01:22:34,748
We filmed it in Washington one
November morning celebrated by the sun.
876
01:22:34,749 --> 01:22:39,019
Love is the spirit that has gathered
together more than a million Americans.
877
01:22:39,020 --> 01:22:41,488
They have come from every corner
of the country to ask
878
01:22:41,489 --> 01:22:43,490
mind you: not to beg, to ask
879
01:22:43,491 --> 01:22:46,927
with all the strength that
a genuine people has in a democracy
880
01:22:46,928 --> 01:22:49,159
the end of the genocide in Vietnam.
881
01:23:01,710 --> 01:23:04,578
Even what we're going to witness
with horror is love.
882
01:23:04,579 --> 01:23:07,715
This is how far a young American
pacifist is willing to go
883
01:23:07,716 --> 01:23:10,686
just to make sure his hands
will never hold a rifle.
884
01:23:12,420 --> 01:23:14,446
This is an absurd love, a crazy love
885
01:23:14,789 --> 01:23:17,491
giving up all hope to be
a normal man again
886
01:23:17,492 --> 01:23:20,828
if being normal means
having to kill other people.
887
01:23:20,829 --> 01:23:23,196
In Vietnam or elsewhere.
888
01:24:59,561 --> 01:25:05,262
It's love what the soldiers fighting in Vietnam
share with their wives here in Honolulu.
889
01:25:05,333 --> 01:25:10,003
The soldiers, fighting at the front line,
have a week off.
890
01:25:10,004 --> 01:25:13,440
A week, to catch up with all the years
of being apart and the suffering.
891
01:25:13,441 --> 01:25:16,070
To talk about hope, anguish, doubts.
892
01:25:49,210 --> 01:25:52,446
Just a week to tell each other,
maybe on the last night,
893
01:25:52,447 --> 01:25:59,854
how cruel and senseless war is
in the greater scheme of things.
894
01:26:17,672 --> 01:26:22,576
It's love, once again, what we're filming
here in Suffolk, close to New York.
895
01:26:23,044 --> 01:26:23,978
Here the meaning of love,
896
01:26:23,979 --> 01:26:29,516
the very same that America seems to
forget on the pursuit of happiness,
897
01:26:29,517 --> 01:26:32,352
finds an almost perfect dimension.
898
01:26:32,353 --> 01:26:36,223
That shows us that caring for
humanity has not disappeared
899
01:26:36,224 --> 01:26:39,126
and that it can be heightened
by technological advancement.
900
01:26:40,195 --> 01:26:43,063
We're in a city that shelters
2000 retarded children.
901
01:26:43,064 --> 01:26:45,766
The most recent conquests
of science are used
902
01:26:45,767 --> 01:26:49,736
to give their useless lives a new meaning.
903
01:26:49,737 --> 01:26:52,973
This is perhaps the greatest
proof that America
904
01:26:52,974 --> 01:26:57,411
has sheltered deep down in it's soul
that idea of man
905
01:26:57,412 --> 01:26:58,880
and health.
906
01:26:59,380 --> 01:27:03,215
Quoting what once Thomas Mann wrote
about it's own country
907
01:27:03,284 --> 01:27:05,586
we can say that there
do no exist two America.
908
01:27:05,587 --> 01:27:07,154
A good one and a bad one.
909
01:27:07,155 --> 01:27:08,555
Just ONE America.
910
01:27:08,556 --> 01:27:11,116
Maybe a little bit in a bad shape.
911
01:27:29,110 --> 01:27:32,376
These are America's good things
that no one in the world can deny.
912
01:27:32,780 --> 01:27:36,316
Science and good will teach
these children how to eat.
913
01:27:36,317 --> 01:27:38,518
To use their language. To Think even.
914
01:27:38,519 --> 01:27:43,423
And through them a small part
of humanity is finding their way out.
915
01:27:59,540 --> 01:28:03,043
Just like the astronauts that have
put the American flag on the moon
916
01:28:03,044 --> 01:28:06,173
these people here have done the
same in their own way.
917
01:28:06,381 --> 01:28:09,650
A proof of humanity and civilization.
918
01:28:09,651 --> 01:28:13,553
A new hope for a rebirth.
919
01:28:13,554 --> 01:28:15,555
A rebirth that resonates
like the out of tune song
920
01:28:15,556 --> 01:28:19,584
that these children sing
all together on Christmas day.
921
01:29:18,820 --> 01:29:21,088
Devoid of a millenarian culture,
922
01:29:21,089 --> 01:29:23,390
the new America inaugurates a new culture
923
01:29:23,391 --> 01:29:26,960
each time a new voice resounds
among the soulless machines,
924
01:29:26,961 --> 01:29:29,629
from its souls lost among the machines.
925
01:29:29,630 --> 01:29:30,431
It's love
926
01:29:30,432 --> 01:29:31,932
true, sincere painful love
927
01:29:31,933 --> 01:29:33,767
the blues, heartfelt and melancholic,
928
01:29:33,768 --> 01:29:35,236
that a negro composer
929
01:29:35,303 --> 01:29:36,837
poor and unknown
930
01:29:36,838 --> 01:29:39,206
has written trying
to measure with his fantasy
931
01:29:39,207 --> 01:29:40,607
the statue of liberty.
932
01:29:42,210 --> 01:29:44,845
While traveling on the Staten
Island steamer
933
01:29:44,846 --> 01:29:47,281
you'll find a spot that's
beautiful to look at.
934
01:29:48,049 --> 01:29:50,041
A statue on the water.
935
01:29:50,818 --> 01:29:52,853
That's useless now.
936
01:29:52,854 --> 01:29:54,880
Give me your tiredness,
937
01:29:55,523 --> 01:29:57,090
your poors, she shouts.
938
01:29:57,091 --> 01:29:59,560
On each road that crosses the Ocean.
939
01:30:00,395 --> 01:30:01,795
And I answer.
940
01:30:01,796 --> 01:30:03,997
Oh, put out your light.
941
01:30:03,998 --> 01:30:05,699
Ye hoarse old gal.
942
01:30:05,700 --> 01:30:08,864
Your shouts do not move me anymore.
943
01:30:09,404 --> 01:30:12,873
Your call sounds always
fine, I must admit.
944
01:30:12,874 --> 01:30:15,343
But I cannot accept it any longer.
945
01:30:15,977 --> 01:30:18,211
After years listening to your lies
946
01:30:18,212 --> 01:30:20,545
I don't care anymore.
947
01:30:21,048 --> 01:30:22,949
Put out your light!
948
01:30:22,950 --> 01:30:24,918
Ye tired old gal.
949
01:30:24,919 --> 01:30:26,911
And turn your back to the Ocean.
950
01:30:29,757 --> 01:30:35,958
And put a little love,
if you can, in me too.
951
01:30:57,518 --> 01:31:01,621
I know very well that in America,
as well as in any other part of the world,
952
01:31:01,622 --> 01:31:04,357
there are sensitive people
that do not tolerate truth.
953
01:31:04,358 --> 01:31:09,362
But from the very first moment I always knew
how to treasure the welcoming America offered me.
954
01:31:09,363 --> 01:31:15,502
The best way to express my appreciation to it
is to reaffirm, outside the United States,
955
01:31:15,503 --> 01:31:18,305
freedom of speech and judgment of which
I so fully enjoyed there. Charles Dickens.
956
01:31:18,306 --> 01:31:19,534
