Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,073
Office party.
2
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,511
A pretty blonde, rather plump.
3
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,871
She only had short affairs,
4
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,151
for she was mean and passive.
5
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,989
Then she was stroking my hair.
6
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,079
I saw a tenderness in her eyes
7
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,750
which I knew to be love.
8
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,029
NOW THEY'VE REACHED THE TOP.
9
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,040
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT.
10
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,233
HARD WORK IS USELESS IN ITSELF.
11
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,319
ARTISTS IN THE BIG TOP: PERPLEXED
12
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,435
1. MOURNING WORK:
13
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,994
DAY OF GERMAN ART 1939
14
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,351
He gave joy to many,young and old.
15
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,032
Millions of them.Who will weep for him now?
16
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,117
2. MOURNING WORK: MANFRED PEICKERT
17
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,114
Manfred Peickert is a circus artist.He has plans.
18
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:13,117
I say, "Couldn't we hoist up the
elephants right over the ring?"
19
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,792
And the director says, "Of course,
but would the roof hold up?"
20
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,437
I say,
"It would be something quite new."
21
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,112
He says, "New?
I think it's strange and irrational."
22
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,596
I say, "Something has to burst.
23
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,759
What if they went up
with a balloon?"
24
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,474
The director says,
"I think it's too irrational."
25
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,435
But I say,
"The effect would be great."
26
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,720
"Genius is the capacityfor endless effort."
27
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,594
Success was the main goalfor the Peickerts.
28
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,349
Four generations of chemists.
29
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,153
But in their enslaved souls
30
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,637
something said,"If we've been made slaves,
31
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,039
it would be unwiseto give us weapons."
32
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,233
In 1945, Manfred Peickertwent to Australia to sell oil.
33
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,673
But that wasn't a new world either.He joined a circus.
34
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,030
I think it would be wonderful
to have the elephants
35
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,873
hanging up in the big top
to help build up the show.
36
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,115
I can't put it better than that.
37
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,230
"HE WHO RISKS NOTHING
38
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,796
SHALL NEVER WIN."
39
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,239
Countess Fanny Ghikaof the Imperial Circus
40
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,831
had herself trampledby horses every day,
41
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:06,478
to rise againand be cheered by the crowd.
42
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,232
HE WANTS TO BE A CLOWN.
43
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,636
TO GO AROUND MAKING THE SKY TREMBLE
44
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,035
WITH HIS TRUMPET,
45
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,435
AND BE WITH WOMEN
46
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,199
LIKE A REAL MAN SHOULD.
47
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,191
Leo Uffland worked on hisastronaut trick for 14 years.
48
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,792
He was to appear in a spaceship.He died in an accident.
49
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,357
The remains of his contraptionare useless.
50
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:04,113
Sojkowsky survived dozens ofsnake bites and died in the ring.
51
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,792
He worked with 20 poisonous snakesand a non-poisonous boa.
52
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,479
Sojkowsky will do his hanging trickfor the first time ever.
53
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,353
He'd kicked away the chair.
54
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,155
After 2 minutes he was lifted down.
55
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,319
The iron noose had strangled him.
56
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,553
"Like the sword of Damocles, the hourof my death looms, and I am hurrying."
57
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,389
I sailed off and went to...
58
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,799
I went to...
any old city... to Sydney.
59
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,278
I went looking for something,
I don't know what...
60
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,553
I never found it, but then
61
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,911
maybe it wasn't anything definite.
62
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,272
I turn a somersault to the high bar,
63
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,915
and then back again to the platform.
64
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,875
That's all.
65
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,434
It's a funny act, really.
66
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,791
One dayhe goes up on the high bars again.
67
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,879
He puts magnesium powder on his hands.
68
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,880
His adrenalin starts to flow.
69
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,951
He is overcome by melancholy.
70
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,234
He misses his partner's hand,and breaks his neck.
71
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,519
Death is the negation of time.Lust desires eternity.
72
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,191
They had reached the top.
73
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,950
But then they didn't knowwhat to do next.
74
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,630
Hard work is useless in itself.
75
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,038
Leni Peickert, Manfred's heiress.
76
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:09,953
Where is it?
77
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,072
For the following 'double passage',
we would like to ask
78
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,238
for your kind attention.
79
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,952
The trapeze artist,whose 5th husband shot the 4th,
80
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,436
threw herself onto the body and cried,
81
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,998
"I will avenge this,or not be able to bear it.
82
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,954
But I'll have forgotten it in a week.
83
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,877
Fire in the Chicago elephant-house."Alarm! Fire!"
84
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,151
The director: "It isn't a real fire."
85
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,558
The pachyderms are getting desperate.
86
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:41,118
"Freedom", said one of the elephants,"is risking one's life.
87
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,233
Not because it's freedom from slavery,
88
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,558
but because human freedom is defined
89
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,676
by its negative relation to others."
90
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:56,271
The elephants swear,"We forget nothing."
91
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:12,955
"A wounded mind heals without scars,but a wounded body poisons the mind."
92
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,038
The elephants swear,"We forget nothing."
93
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,433
An adult elephant is onethat knows its enemy.
94
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,475
The one who doesn't protect himin order to exploit him.
95
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,716
The elephants swear,"We forget nothing."
96
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,311
We won't forget the firemenand the director
97
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,833
who said, "It is just a fake!"It wasn't fake, but a real fire.
98
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,437
Truly, the day is near,
99
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,998
The end of the Hitler-state.
100
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,955
Happy is the one, who'll still
101
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,678
Be alive by then.
102
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:23,238
The fascists who burnshould be thrown into the sea.
103
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,717
Even those who don't burnor extinguish should be packed
104
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:33,073
and thrown into the sea.We should also throw
105
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,478
our memories of the fire andour suffering into the sea.
106
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,072
Or revenge.He affected by revenge will be shot.
107
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,956
Rather shoot than forget.Better to throw them into the sea.
108
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,036
We should throwour memories of the fire
109
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,710
and our suffering, into the sea.
110
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,035
It's better to throw theminto the sea.
111
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,273
Leni Peickert wants her own circus.
112
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,794
She imagines herselfopening her own circus.
113
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,038
A circus worthy of a dead man.
114
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,469
She watches the performanceof a leading circus.
115
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,559
She wants nothing but the best.
116
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,438
Leni Peickert says, "I'll changethe circus, because I love it."
117
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:44,432
Answer: "She loves it,so she won't change it. Why?
118
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,838
Because love is conservative."
119
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,439
Leni Peickert: "That isn't true!"
120
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,916
She says to a famous tamer,"I plan to open my own circus."
121
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,950
The tamer:"I'd be happy if you did."
122
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,278
Leni Peickert:"I want the animals to act authentic".
123
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,837
The tamer: "They're only authenticin the jungle."
124
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:27,638
Leni Peickert says: "I read aboutso-called Evil. Change your mind!"
125
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,272
Let it rise... to the level of
126
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,236
great ideas.
Not just doing what the market wants,
127
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,433
but really... doing what you want.
128
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,118
I want to start my own business.
129
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,676
Do you already have an idea?
130
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:50,238
Ms. Anna Fedorjewna Saizeva,of the Russian ministry of culture,
131
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:56,437
is on a tour of Western Europe.Leni Peickert hopes to get some help.
132
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,678
We already met in Salerno,
2 years ago.
133
00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:05,032
I was fascinated by your lecture,
134
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,711
you spoke about
the lion on horseback.
135
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:14,109
What side are you on? Are you
for the military kind of dressage?
136
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:19,111
It's funny, certain circus words are
the same in different languages:
137
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:24,270
"Big top", "artiste"...I could...
138
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:31,839
Could you lend me some artists?
Just temporarily?
139
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,239
I plan to start my own business,
and I would be very grateful
140
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,719
if you could lend me a few artists.
For a time.
141
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,836
They were a charming couple,
aged about 30, highly intelligent.
142
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,319
I'd never believed ballet-dancers
could be intelligent.
143
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:56,756
And then the organizer said to me,
144
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,317
"I don't know why,
everything was all right.
145
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,115
Good service, waiters in tailcoats,
146
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:08,839
and the stripper
was a party member since 1917."
147
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,231
Leni Peickert needs money
to realize her plans.
148
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,629
She's prepared to compromise,
and signs a television contract.
149
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:40,592
Dad, how are you? - I'm okay.
It's a bit wretched, but I'll manage.
150
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,478
Come on. Lola! Sascha!
151
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:05,595
Girls!
152
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:12,478
You keep on walking.
Of course, while you're walking.
153
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,832
He passes you and the camera follows.
154
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,435
Mr M�ller?
- Phone is on.
155
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,677
71-70-1st.
156
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,076
It's the first time
Carlo drank too much.
157
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,751
The last time was when
Tim was born.
158
00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:45,351
I brought you a drink.
- Thank you
159
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,669
How long will this take?
160
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,076
We rushed here today...
161
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,359
They don't need any circus artists.
162
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,917
They're all actors playing the roles.
163
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,236
WE SEEK ARTISTS FOR TOURS OF EUROPE
164
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,636
AND OVERSEAS. PLEASE CONTACT US.
165
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,199
A shirt, open here
166
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,673
and this side, or that one?
167
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,109
And here... pearls.
168
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,995
Open here, and here...
169
00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:00,639
pearls... and two stars. All right?
170
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,958
Two stars here.
171
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,190
Good day.
- Good day.
172
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,392
I saw your advertisement.
173
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,276
We can use anyone who's willing.
- That's me.
174
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:18,191
You must have an open mind, of course.
- I know. What is it, exactly?
175
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:24,351
Troop entertainment.
Morocco, Libya, Thailand and Saigon.
176
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,473
What's new about it?
- We have an extra attraction.
177
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,117
The artists drop pamphlets
from high up in the big top.
178
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,519
Saying what? - Peace.
- Peace in general? - Yes.
179
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,838
What we need is something funny.
180
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,034
That's hard on the trapeze. - Our
boys' peace-making efforts increase
181
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,473
their need for entertainment.
- This is what I can offer.
182
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,310
I don't know it, but here it is again.
183
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,228
A sawmill owner orders 5 beers.
184
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,477
Have you seen my toothbrush?
185
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,434
Someone please open the tram door!
186
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,837
A mouse running on a hot stove.
187
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,398
Imagine it high up in the big top
with red spotlights.
188
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,311
Haven't you got anything funny?
Something special?
189
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,751
Haven't you got a shirt...
190
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:28,991
open here,
with some pearls and two stars...
191
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,069
Should I bring my own money, too?
- We can't pay much, really,
192
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,193
but this is about ethical values.
193
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,790
"Then I'll go to Maxim's"
194
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:20,630
The violin sweetly sings good-night
195
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:28,755
Your heart has turned off the light
196
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:36,709
A last kiss on your lipsAnd the song is over...
197
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,073
Mr von L�ptow talks about "The
situation of the circus artist today."
198
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:47,199
...afterwards they rode horses again.
World War Il: 2 of the Blumenfeldts
199
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,279
near Orel, 1942. They thought
200
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:56,274
they could fight inhumanity
if all the artists in the world
201
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,678
raised their standards simultaneously.
202
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,869
THE FRENCHMAN DIES SMILING,
THE AVIATEUR CRASHES SMILING.
203
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:35,030
JUST THINK OF A KISSING MOUTH:
OF YOURS, TRAVIATA.
204
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,955
I only study pieces...
205
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,630
I shouldn't do exercises, just play
206
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,392
the difficult parts of those pieces.
207
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,828
Facing this inhuman situation,
the artist's only recourse is to
208
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,750
raise his standards still higher.
209
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,079
Leni Peickert visits
her friend Dr Busch.
210
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,396
Tell me something.
211
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:37,475
Come on.
212
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,070
Some people kept an alligator
in an aquarium.
213
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,398
The alligator grew bigger,
214
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,832
but they didn't put him
into a bigger aquarium.
215
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,239
He became bigger and bigger,
and eventually grew square.
216
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,354
I can't imagine that.
217
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,234
It's a cruel story.
218
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,558
We grow in our cage too.
219
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,712
But we didn't grow square, see.
220
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,390
I'm used to Dr Busch.
221
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,400
I've known him since I was 14.
222
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,714
He lured me to his room
and gave me an apple.
223
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,832
Then he said he was sleepy,
224
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,840
and insisted I lie on the bed too.
225
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,078
He stroked my hair
and asked if I liked it.
226
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,274
I said yes, to be polite.
I said, "What if I cry out?"
227
00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:48,110
He opened his fly
and told me to look.
228
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,712
I said I wasn't interested,
I'd seen the like before.
229
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,918
Our education was all illusion,
230
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,715
illusion and hope.
231
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:10,039
And how disappointed we were!
And where are we now?
232
00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:14,439
Just employees in the economy!
233
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:19,271
We just have small tasks
without any responsibility.
234
00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:23,190
You don't know how hard it is to work
235
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,757
without being able
to determine what you want.
236
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,589
For what? Nobody knows.
237
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,917
Why indeed?
238
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,638
Yes... in the past, we thought
239
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:41,232
we could change things,
make things better...
240
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,875
Make life more human.
241
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:47,389
Stop it all.
242
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,513
We created a bouquet:
The attention-values for women.
243
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,269
Flowers are top of the list.
244
00:37:57,720 --> 00:38:00,632
Then soap...
- No, babies first,
245
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,436
they all love babies,
and then flowers second.
246
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,035
And what comes last?
247
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,359
That's why we use babies and flowers
in our ads for females.
248
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,518
And all mothers love babies?
249
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,396
It's crazy.
About 80% attention-value.
250
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,879
For instance,
Santa Claus as a child
251
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:29,599
giving a box of cigars,
gets 70% attention-value.
252
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,952
Without the child
it would be 30 or 40%.
253
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,032
They go crazy for flowers, too.
So it's flowers and babies.
254
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,312
We'll make some flower...
- Tell me more. - Flower fertilizer.
255
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,036
A brand of artificial fertilizer:
"Dr Happiness".
256
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,835
We bought the name "Dr Happiness".
257
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:57,153
"Dr Happiness!"
It calls on the mother-instinct,
258
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,352
gives it an outlet.
259
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,352
I discovered it.
260
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,309
The opera ball, 1968.
261
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,390
Leni Peickert wants to meet the friends
and promoters of her enterprises.
262
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,837
Mr Donndorf, assistant secretary,ministry of education and the arts.
263
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:09,954
As Mosca, he is...
it's really the wrong role for him.
264
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,678
He can't help it.
- Totally wrong. He can't help it.
265
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:19,238
It's hard to find
a young actor to do
266
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:25,437
a convincing Ferdinand...
it's actually a stupid part.
267
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,759
Hardly playable. - Hardly playable.
And yet he is convincing.
268
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:36,753
Yes, it's due to
some sort of electric impulse...
269
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,033
Ammonia and methane
270
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,871
could produce living matter
271
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,108
like protein cells and so on
272
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,235
with a strong electric discharge
273
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,750
such as lightning.
274
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,668
The earth was once like Jupiter.
275
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,192
So one could reasonably assume,
276
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,393
although conditions are not the same,
277
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,434
that in millions of years
278
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:12,316
Jupiter will have
an atmosphere like ours.
279
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,716
"Dr Happiness in danger"
280
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,230
St. Petersburg, around 1900.100 horses going in a circle.
281
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,672
But happiness is gone,disappeared.
282
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,719
Accountant Lotte Losemeyeroften criticized
283
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,357
the bad management by her boss,a building contractor.
284
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,030
Fortunately, she won't give in.
285
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:44,028
She takes 156,000 DM from the safeand decides to destroy it.
286
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,631
It's a shame about that nice money.
287
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,559
Even this is more hard work
than satisfaction.
288
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,109
One must take it out again
and throw it back.
289
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:10,555
Forgive the woman, for you woulddo the same if you'd her troubles.
290
00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:16,630
Leni Peickert wants
to make even more effort.
291
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:40,793
Leni Peickert says,
292
00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:44,312
"I just needlove for my work to go on.
293
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,833
That's what makespoor Nolde do his deeds."
294
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,237
Interesting sexual problemswith space travel.
295
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,431
Disinclination growsout of proportion,
296
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:26,632
but love can't be accumulated.
297
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:31,915
An astronaut who wasin hospital for a post-flight check,
298
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:36,592
filled a bottle with semenwhen he saw a nurse go by.
299
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:41,477
A vessel containing about 1 cc,
300
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,831
like a small vase.
301
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,989
It's a rather unlikely
that he'd fill such a vessel...
302
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:53,477
It's a hospital urine-flask,
with a long neck...
303
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,789
The story's exaggerated
just to emphasize the point.
304
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:19,390
She treated the lion-tamer Mackensento dinner in a restaurant.
305
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,833
Leni Peickert admiredthe tamer excessively.
306
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,157
...they can even whistle.
307
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,398
I'd like to build a great aquarium.
308
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,957
"Could we let a childplay with dolphins?"
309
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,073
"It'd be too dangerous", he says.
310
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:37,748
Leni Peickert:
311
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:42,193
"Then I can't hire you.One has to take risks."
312
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:43,868
"Dear lady...
313
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,993
Dear lady, please be sensible."
314
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:49,919
My dolphins...
315
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,635
"Don't... don't be like that."
316
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:58,029
They can jump
up to 6 metres, maybe more.
317
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:04,030
Well, I'm sure you'll find
something to fit in later on.
318
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,114
I had a moment of clarity.
319
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:12,076
The police...
I can't remember a thing,
320
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,990
except that I was lying in bed
the next day...
321
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,193
lying in bed, and...
322
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,632
I felt a pain...
323
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,916
It hurt... I had a swollen hand...
324
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,033
terribly swollen...
325
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:42,029
then I found the note in my pocket.
326
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,839
A 500 km drive,
just for a Sunday with Dr Busch.
327
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:21,158
If you sit, then sit.If you walk, then walk.
328
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,830
If you talk, then talk.
329
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:30,035
Leni Peickert realizes she can'tunite art and free enterprise.
330
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,396
Only as a capitalistcan one change things.
331
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,228
She buys an elephant.
332
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,236
She rented an animal enclosure
to wait for the season.
333
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:06,873
The business swallows money.
She asks Mr von L�ptow for a loan.
334
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,511
She hired Mr von L�ptow
as her deputy.
335
00:53:35,720 --> 00:53:39,679
Be watchful, be watchful!
336
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:42,229
Come sit around me, and listen.
337
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,873
Gitti Bornemann meets
her friend, Leni Peickert.
338
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,710
Von L�ptow hears too late
that she's a millionairess.
339
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:12,073
Leni Peickert forbids him
to ask her for a loan.
340
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,314
Mr B�hme, I'll put it clearly.
341
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:21,435
I can't pay back
the 8,000 DM right now.
342
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:23,836
I don't have it.
343
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,791
I don't understand.
344
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,434
I don't understand what you said.
345
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,589
And if you can't give a guarantee,
346
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,590
I'll have to back out.
347
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:45,353
What do you mean?
- I can't just take your word.
348
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:50,828
The world's full of people
who make promises they can't keep.
349
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,636
8,000 DM is no small matter.
350
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,160
Give me six months grace.
351
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:03,151
Six months is a lifetime,
one can die in six months.
352
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,430
It's a very long eternity.
353
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:12,153
I understand, but...
354
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:18,197
She borrows from the large banksto pay off the small banks.
355
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:22,474
The bank wants a total guarantee
356
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:26,833
for the money it spends.
Your animals are no guarantee.
357
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,670
You can't ask the bank to open a zoo
358
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,908
and keep them until you can pay.
359
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:40,559
As a banking counsellor he can't
act like a simple cashier.
360
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,719
No ordinary cashier
can do that anyway.
361
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:49,598
There must be a way, Mr Wiese!
362
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:56,316
There might be many ways,
but I can't name any right now.
363
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:00,719
"If a capitalist does what he lovesinstead of what he needs,
364
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,230
he won't be supportedby that which is."
365
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:31,760
Look, if I get involved
in your problem...
366
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:36,113
Tell me how to analyze...
what to do...
367
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:40,235
First, you have to
establish your target group:
368
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,752
A) regular spectators
369
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,829
b) occasional spectators
370
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:52,239
c) people who never go to a circus.
Then...
371
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,468
People who never go?
- Their views are interesting.
372
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:01,232
What about television?
- Later on, it's irrelevant now.
373
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:04,638
But why?
- It's a competing medium. It is...
374
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,514
I could add
theatre and film to the circus.
375
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:12,192
Yes, but the circus on television...
376
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,278
We know that the circus
377
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,236
is interesting in itself.
378
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:25,079
But visiting a circus is inconvenient.
379
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,829
You have to dress up, it costs 16 DM,
380
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,510
you have to sit on a bench...
381
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:35,110
It costs money, the wooden bench.
382
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:38,836
You have to plan it...
383
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:43,273
so circus on television is easier.
384
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:47,474
That's why people rather watch a
circus on television than a real one.
385
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:49,876
But now back to the target group.
386
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:55,758
Maybe I could do
an African act with my elephants.
387
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,668
That's implausible.
388
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:03,636
Because a circus elephant
is viewed differently...
389
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,355
I already told you:
390
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,712
What counts for ideas, products
391
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:14,756
objects, people, animals
is their social background.
392
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:01,869
First modern circus: Astley in Paris.
393
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,914
Time: The French Revolution.
394
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:08,318
The artists: Astonishing.
395
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:13,038
There isn't a thing
the New Revolutionary Man can't do.
396
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:20,112
Then our sensational finale:
The Submarine Circus!
397
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,312
Delightful fountains.
398
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,115
Illuminated cascades.
399
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:28,716
Revolving stars above.
400
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,999
Soft music and the splashing of water.
401
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,954
Lights on, the ring is filled
402
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,153
with water with ducks swimming,
403
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:42,878
a boat and toy fish.
And then our comedy.
404
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,678
The great Danish clown Olchansky.
405
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:17,189
He was successful,
406
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,518
went to China, buried his child,
407
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:22,837
and came back to St. Petersburg.
408
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,117
The creditors take the animals.
409
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,954
The elephants, kept a mile away,are taken away.
410
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:38,838
Leni Peickertfiles for bankruptcy.
411
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,634
A break, since there is no money.
412
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:11,678
Perez sent his report to theCondor Oil Company in San Francisco.
413
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:17,436
"Does that dirty Indian knowwhom he is dealing with?
414
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:22,192
Does that dirty Indian knowwhom he is dealing with?"
415
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,438
Thus spoke the president, Mr Collins.
416
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:30,998
"There is no land in the universeI want that I can't get.
417
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:33,670
Not in this universe. For sure.
418
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,234
If I wanted land on Jupiter,
419
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,240
I'd get it. For sure."
420
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:38,589
Love? Your love for the circus
won't earn you any money.
421
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:43,909
Your love is a misconception,
it's not 'intersubjective'.
422
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:48,194
Others won't love it just because
you do. That's why I propose
423
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:54,237
a combined motivation-image survey
to find out what others love.
424
01:06:54,200 --> 01:07:00,070
Gitti's father led a socialistscientific institute in Frankfurt.
425
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:05,196
He transferred its capitalto the USA in 1932:
426
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:09,713
Many opportunities for entrepreneurs,none for socialists.
427
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:23,995
Gitti Bornemann is under medical care.
428
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,715
No chance of recovery.
429
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:34,151
Von Fritsch said to Ebert, "Swine!"
430
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:59,834
Gitti Bornemann dies.
Leni Peickert is her sole heir.
431
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,713
LENI PEICKERT INC.
432
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:34,112
Ms Peickert,
I'd like to return to this...
433
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:39,076
So I dive into the net from
a height of 60 feet.
434
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:43,479
I could also show you some ballet,
435
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:47,754
and some acrobatics
and gymnastics on the floor.
436
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:51,351
I think you'll like these things
437
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:56,316
because I had
thorough training in Switzerland.
438
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:01,269
Have you ever studied
the physics of the trapeze?
439
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:03,472
No, it's purely intuitive.
440
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:23,352
What do you want to change? The front
four? - Yes, that gap is too big.
441
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,631
I like it, though.
442
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:27,672
Give me a smile.
443
01:09:28,480 --> 01:09:32,314
I'd prefer to leave it too, but...
444
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:36,630
You don't notice it.
445
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:39,917
Oh yes, you do!
446
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:44,234
Leni Peickert
informs the press about her plans.
447
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:56,873
I think I understand
what you want now.
448
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,471
You want the public to participate,
449
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:04,708
not to submit passively to sensations.
450
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:06,639
Indeed...
451
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:10,995
you want them to feel
452
01:10:11,440 --> 01:10:14,750
really confronted with the animals.
453
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:20,269
Quite original,
to conceive the circus as a novel.
454
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:25,555
Isn't there a risk of confusing
two quite heterogeneous genres?
455
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,514
I know the practical side,
the theory's the problem.
456
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:31,030
I leave that to my assistants.
457
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:37,874
As a circus it is... - Circus too!
It's inherent in the circus.
458
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:40,629
I think you should
leave the circus as it is
459
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:44,038
and just give people what they want.
- I won't...
460
01:10:44,480 --> 01:10:48,268
I don't want to.
A large transparent pool...
461
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:52,310
Mr Arbogast, public relations.Joe Willkins, dramatist.
462
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:57,231
...a few dolphins driving
smaller fish towards the clowns.
463
01:10:57,680 --> 01:10:59,033
Acting...
464
01:10:59,480 --> 01:11:05,112
I know, you need drama
but let's not fight over details now.
465
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:09,473
I'd like to come back
to the distrust you mentioned.
466
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:13,230
I mean,
I don't understand that.
467
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:16,274
We must get rid of that distrust
468
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:18,517
and work together.
469
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:23,351
I think it's bad
that you should think
470
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,030
we distrust each other.
471
01:11:26,480 --> 01:11:28,596
What put that into your head?
472
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:37,635
...which you can't separate
if you think about it.
473
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,791
I think it could be successful
474
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:44,995
provided there is a good publicity.
475
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:47,829
It could be done...
476
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:51,875
...he keeps running away, and
they smash against the wall.
477
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:57,713
It shouldn't be boring, there
should be a progression in brutality,
478
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:01,516
different ways of dropping them,
479
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:06,750
building to a climax...
Let it fall into the sand first,
480
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:10,510
then some hard object
is pushed there with the foot...
481
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:15,033
...suddenly add a level,
chase after them,
482
01:12:15,480 --> 01:12:17,948
and try to catch the small animals
483
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:21,676
and paint a Star of David on them.
484
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:26,238
That's too direct.
- If we leave the tigers with the mice
485
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:29,236
primitive people will indeed laugh.
486
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:36,518
Yes, there is that David and Goliath
idea which has a very strong appeal.
487
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,838
But David must win, and this one won't.
- Yes,
488
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:46,037
but we could make a huge
papier m�ch� Mickey Mouse figure
489
01:12:46,480 --> 01:12:51,998
and the tamer would come out
very small, against the tigers...
490
01:12:59,480 --> 01:13:06,272
How the piously the heath sings,
How the sound enters my soul!
491
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:34,637
An old winter circus is for rent.
492
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,872
LENI PEICKERT INC., WINTER CIRCUS
493
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:58,755
With just 4 weeks to the opening,
494
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:03,159
we don't knowif the circus will have 1 or 3 rings.
495
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,829
The shooting ofMexico's emperor, Maximilian.
496
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:39,312
The emperor was a poor privateer,
but his counsellors were tough.
497
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,797
The soldiers cock their rifles
but don't shoot. They say,
498
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:46,357
"Let's use kindness for bullets.The echo will be more quiet.
499
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:48,597
This emperor is a loser anyway."
500
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:51,031
He was reinstalled right away.
501
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:54,831
The violin
502
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:59,068
sweetly sings good-night
503
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:02,512
Your heart has...
504
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:05,918
Happy is the man
who can forget what he was.
505
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:11,235
A last kiss on your lips
506
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:15,116
And the song is over.
507
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:21,635
A sweet greeting
waves you all the way home.
508
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:29,598
Tonight our comrades will be shot.
509
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,957
Thus the comrades shot Emperor Max.
510
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:19,591
Von L�ptow rehearses with the clowns.
511
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:23,999
One foot down, the other one,
the other one up.
512
01:16:24,440 --> 01:16:26,670
I'm waiting until I can fly.
513
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:32,990
Then I fly...
One finally flies.
514
01:16:33,440 --> 01:16:39,117
You hit something,
but it doesn't hurt.
515
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:43,839
No, it's fun to crash like that.
516
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:47,272
Just to crash like that...
517
01:16:49,480 --> 01:16:53,029
to roll around on the ground,
518
01:16:55,600 --> 01:17:00,151
to fly into there...
right there into the mud.
519
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:54,159
Program plan:
520
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:56,113
1st part: The clowns.
521
01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:58,869
1) The staff enter.
522
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:00,435
2) Record concert.
523
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:03,952
3) The shooting of Emperor Maximilian.
524
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:07,472
4) Encounter with alien intelligence,
525
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:09,717
represented by dolphins.
526
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,232
Guns being set up.
- That was the fifth act.
527
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:15,716
2nd part: The animals.
528
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:18,594
1) Rats at work.
529
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:24,200
An elephant smashes 3 barriers
and charges at the audience.
530
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:26,232
He looks violent.
531
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:31,117
In the big top hangs a model
of a Japanese dive-bomber.
532
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:36,510
Will this stop the raving pachyderm?
533
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:37,790
3rd number.
534
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:40,470
4) Pack of elephants.
535
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:42,876
Seek Greece with your soul.
536
01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:46,312
Mandolin concerto by the elephants.
537
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:50,036
1) The ring is dark.
538
01:18:50,480 --> 01:18:52,198
Storm, thunder, lightning.
539
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,996
Polar bears up high,
a plane landing.
540
01:18:57,200 --> 01:19:00,317
Seven tigers trying to stop
sixty red mice.
541
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:01,715
They fail.
542
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:06,039
The tigers form a pyramid
and give paw.
543
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:11,311
3) The polar bears in the big top
light a fire to warm themselves.
544
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:13,079
4) Some artists,
545
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:16,512
disguised as firemen, declare that...
546
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:35,639
They're all destroyed,
but none will admit it.
547
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:39,072
Clowns mourn their lost honour.
548
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:42,751
7) All performers leave the stage.
549
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:44,918
The end.
550
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:29,035
After my release as a POW,
551
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:36,110
it was established that my right eye
had been somewhat damaged.
552
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:42,032
It happened in the East,
in a partisan battle,
553
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:48,237
when I was hit in the eye
with a rifle-butt.
554
01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:55,957
Yes, so it was damaged, and now...
555
01:20:56,400 --> 01:21:01,394
I have to wear this eyeglass,
a monocle, to aid my sight.
556
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:08,436
I have to use the muscles,
it doesn't work with this one...
557
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:15,955
But I have one
with an elasticated ring.
558
01:21:18,480 --> 01:21:21,358
But this one's very hard to hold in.
559
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:27,640
It should hold somehow...
560
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:29,675
And...
561
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:33,752
You see?
562
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:37,636
That's why a system
working with springs...
563
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,719
What do you do?
564
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:43,037
In what sense do you mean?
565
01:21:43,480 --> 01:21:45,516
I'm a trapeze artist.
566
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,872
I work on the high trapeze.
567
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:53,798
Perry Woodcock, a horse owner,
asks for advice.
568
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,548
It started out quite well.
569
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:07,959
She attracted me,
and we were sitting at the bar,
570
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:11,676
and then she said,
and then I said...
571
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:14,395
I was rather direct, so I said,
572
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:17,718
"Why don't you take off your bra..."
573
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:22,517
So she did it, and gave it to me.
It was great fun.
574
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:26,191
We left together after closing time,
575
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,393
she asked me to,
and I didn't mind.
576
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:34,038
I wasn't that interested in her,
anyway. Only a bit.
577
01:22:34,480 --> 01:22:39,918
She said I looked like
Roy Black, or something.
578
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,272
And then she lay on the bed
and masturbated.
579
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:47,872
I prefer a woman like that,
she knows what she wants.
580
01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:50,675
Seen from the psychological side,
581
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:53,839
I could condemn her
or behave improperly,
582
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:59,559
but I think I gave her
much more like that...
583
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:03,197
I don't mind being Roy Black for her.
584
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:06,076
At this time there was a congress
585
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,239
of circus directors in Nuremberg.
586
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:13,839
WELCOME TO THE GUNPOWDER FACTORY
587
01:24:23,480 --> 01:24:26,392
Leni Peickert and von L�ptow
assess the congress papers.
588
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:30,230
"I'd like to see the man
who, after Auschwitz,
589
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,831
tries to stop us saying something
that has to be said."
590
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:36,475
I'd like to see the man
who, after Auschwitz,
591
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:39,388
tries to stop us saying or doing
what we believe to be correct."
592
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:42,479
Moscow State Circus, Mr Reisch:
593
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:45,832
"After two wars, I don't want
to show off animals any more."
594
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:50,159
Perizoff laughs. Petoletti:
"We know what we don't want."
595
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:52,556
Mr Reisch, Moscow State Circus:
596
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:57,357
"The modern circus should be
scientific." - Where?
597
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:02,510
Burkhardt-Footit, USA,
"...and yet respect ethical limits."
598
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:05,155
Blumenfeldt for all present:
599
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:09,354
"I'd like to see the man
who, after Auschwitz,
600
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:15,238
tries to stop us saying or doing
what we believe to be correct."
601
01:25:17,440 --> 01:25:19,590
Unanimous: "We'll keep the rats."
602
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:23,715
Drinks are being served.
- Applause. A pause.
603
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:28,232
Mr Michael Saluti: "Disgusting!"
604
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:31,239
The end.
605
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:37,230
"Cannot be shown."
Korti: "Cannot be shown."
606
01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:43,631
Ferry Corvey shows a film
about a prime minister
607
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:47,072
who for a moment
believes in the impossible.
608
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:49,596
"That has to be said."
609
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:54,031
Blumenfeldt, for all present:
"No one can stop us
610
01:25:54,480 --> 01:25:56,391
showing what we want to...
611
01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:59,308
I'd like to see the one
who, after Auschwitz..."
612
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:07,952
Mr Arbogast speakson entertainment again.
613
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:11,790
Leni Peickert decides,"Mr Arbogast is right.
614
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:13,719
Freedom means thatthe spectator thinks
615
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:16,708
entertainment is thatwhat we offer him.
616
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:19,833
But it needn'tactually be entertainment."
617
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:24,671
The staff are desperate.They think this is nonsense.
618
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:52,708
To put it more concretely:
619
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:58,748
You're like a child
blowing soap bubbles,
620
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:03,034
blowing, or producing,
more and more bubbles,
621
01:27:03,480 --> 01:27:05,789
never stopping, because you hope
622
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:09,232
you'll blow one bubble
more colourful than the last.
623
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:13,229
You thereby forget
that you're blowing bubbles.
624
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:17,754
So that one bubble will remain?
625
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:19,997
That's the problem.
626
01:27:20,440 --> 01:27:23,238
That's why it begins at all,
627
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:27,309
the blowing, the senseless part of it.
628
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:34,792
Because one wants a bubble
that really exists?
629
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:38,232
A bubble that 'should' exist, I'd say,
630
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:42,434
because they don't
actually exist at all.
631
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:46,793
It should be one
that could retain its form
632
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:51,199
for more than a few seconds.
633
01:27:51,640 --> 01:27:55,553
To put it in a more abstract way:
634
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:00,278
You don't want utopia
just flying round in your mind,
635
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:05,077
you want to see utopia
realized in a concrete way.
636
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:08,513
Utopia grows ever better
the longer we wait.
637
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:13,112
Leni Peickert looked at it thus:"One should be true to oneself."
638
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:15,232
She asks von L�ptow,
639
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:19,832
"How much will we haveif we sell out right now?"
640
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:25,718
He answers, "About 200,000 DM."Enough for a new start.
641
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:36,559
They bring the elephantsacross the border.
642
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:26,148
They are arrested, the elephantsare seized. They launch a lawsuit.
643
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:29,956
Tax investigations.
644
01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:37,355
Leni Peickert:
645
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:40,439
"Great reformers are great obstacles."
646
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:43,314
She read it in "Die Welt".
647
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:47,150
A lawyer reforming Thuringian jails
648
01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:52,151
in the 1920s took a leading positionin the Hesse judiciary after 1945.
649
01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:56,912
He used it to impedeany attempt at reform except his own.
650
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:17,635
WHERE YOU CANNOT LOVE, PASS BY.
ELEONORA DUSE
651
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:35,109
She reads that countless minesand oil wells are lying unused
652
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:38,472
in the wilds of Nigeria, in Biafra.
653
01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:43,232
One could do businesswith just a few weapons and a plane.
654
01:31:57,800 --> 01:32:02,237
On her return, Leni Peickerttakes up her studies again.
655
01:32:12,240 --> 01:32:14,674
So the receiver can change
656
01:32:15,120 --> 01:32:18,795
the signals
into luminous dots on a tube,
657
01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:23,836
reconstituting the picture...
658
01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:29,354
The technical process can
be defined like this:
659
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:31,435
We see...
660
01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:34,398
THEORY OF MASS MEDIA
661
01:32:34,840 --> 01:32:36,592
...the act of perception
as it is produced.
662
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:40,555
Place a man in front of a camera,
film him,
663
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:45,278
he's scanned electronically,
dissolved into dots.
664
01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:49,269
The dots are transmitted
and reach a receiver,
665
01:32:49,720 --> 01:32:52,632
reach my eyes,
but what do they evoke?
666
01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:55,036
That's the question!
667
01:32:56,040 --> 01:32:59,919
"Giving a sense of life happening.
668
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:05,710
The acoustic perception in recording
is like sound-film technology
669
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:08,549
and transmission in radio."
670
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:12,629
Leni Peickert intendsto take a job in television.
671
01:33:20,080 --> 01:33:25,632
I studied Italian and English,
but little German, I'm afraid.
672
01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:37,916
...can't be granted.
Lost 4 seconds again.
673
01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:42,273
The enchanting woman smiles, like now.
674
01:33:42,720 --> 01:33:46,349
The enchanted man wants
to meet the enchanting woman.
675
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:50,349
If you could pass on the enchantment
it would save time.
676
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:29,670
Bi-phase. Regulator channel open.
677
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:35,513
...two reports
with similar contents: A1 = A2.
678
01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:39,032
All her former staffnow work for television.
679
01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:43,835
At night, they work on serials.
680
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:47,594
Dot, paragraph, new line.
681
01:34:48,040 --> 01:34:49,314
Saturn underlined.
682
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:55,949
120,800 km in diameter,
1.4 times the earth's gravity,
683
01:34:56,400 --> 01:35:05,069
0.7 g/cc mean density, 37 km/s...
684
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:10,469
Professor Gerloff wants to use
television to spread his ideas
685
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:14,629
of education, in particular
the global promotion of Latin.
686
01:35:16,800 --> 01:35:19,792
Let me explain...
687
01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:22,231
Have you ever been
to the Sistine Chapel? - No.
688
01:35:22,680 --> 01:35:25,353
No? You've never been there?
689
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:30,316
I mean, it is something
one really must see.
690
01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:39,829
This will grow together, sometime...Love for work, novels and television.
691
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:46,032
Korti allows his soul to wander
among beautiful things.
692
01:35:49,400 --> 01:35:52,198
He sometimeshas little visual adventures.
693
01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:04,839
He is an officialin the D.A.'s office, vice department.
694
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:08,676
Scientific and artistic writings
which deal with sexual issues
695
01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:12,112
ennoble them, raising them
beyond their sexual appeal,
696
01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:16,235
so that one's sense of propriety
is not offended...
697
01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:22,872
Korti is eating pig's earon a bed of vegetables.
698
01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:24,275
Looks rather good.
699
01:36:24,720 --> 01:36:27,678
The vegetables came from Malta by air.
700
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:34,234
The pig's ear lies on the platelike a broad, firm cloth.
701
01:36:40,640 --> 01:36:45,873
In her attempts to change the world,Leni Peickert will meet Korti.
702
01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:08,951
He will smother her desire for change
703
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:13,069
unless he himself is redeemed.
704
01:37:13,520 --> 01:37:17,911
Then the revolution will have in himthe upholder of its rights.
705
01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:57,190
After 18 months, Leni Peickertrose to salary bracket IVa.
706
01:37:58,440 --> 01:38:00,635
Great steps make one ridiculous,
707
01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:06,237
but with small steps
I could make it to State Secretary.
708
01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:15,630
Where do I talk into?
709
01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:20,354
Where? Right here?
710
01:38:23,440 --> 01:38:25,032
So, the Troubadour.
711
01:38:25,480 --> 01:38:27,630
A rather complicated story.
712
01:38:28,080 --> 01:38:30,230
It starts with a prologue.
713
01:38:30,680 --> 01:38:34,195
It takes us to the inner courtyard
714
01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:36,790
of a castle.
715
01:38:37,240 --> 01:38:39,515
The prologue tells of a...
716
01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:42,758
if I only knew, I'd be happy...
717
01:38:43,920 --> 01:38:48,357
about Manrico and Count Luna,
2 brothers, unaware of each other,
718
01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:51,155
who love the same girl, Leonore.
719
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:53,955
And Azucena, a Gypsy,
720
01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:57,836
is their mother.
No one knows about the two boys.
721
01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:04,355
We only find out at the end that
they're related, when everybody dies.
722
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:07,997
It is terribly complicated,
723
01:39:08,440 --> 01:39:11,352
but I think
it's one of Verdi's best works.
724
