00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,680
i was a reasonably
4
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,480
established painter at one time but that
5
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:42,239
was really in another world
6
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,200
i had
7
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,600
seven one-man shows
8
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,960
most of them on 57th street but i showed
9
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,280
also downtown
10
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,520
and i was part of that at one time
11
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,559
i never stopped drawing
12
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:05,040
but i did stop painting and i don't
13
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,560
think i'll ever go back to that
14
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,720
something happened in peru that
15
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,280
changed my way of thinking
16
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,000
i'm not sure which way i turned how i
17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,360
turned
18
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,880
but it certainly
19
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,159
made a difference in my life
20
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:28,880
i felt hollow the galleries felt hollow
21
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,640
there was no way for me to make a
22
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,640
connection with anything anymore
23
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,600
i quit painting
24
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,320
because i kind of died somewhere along
25
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:41,520
the way
26
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,880
something in me
27
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,479
disappeared that
28
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:47,439
i had had and then it was gone after the
29
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:51,079

the problem of going back

it lives in me all the time

00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:35,360
i've been in this village so many times
203
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,279

204
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:38,100
me

00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,839

00:13:01,839 --> 00:13:03,519
to some extent
213
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:05,040
their strength is
214
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,839
slowly diminishing

00:13:07,839 --> 00:13:10,240

mental strength

00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:15,200
it's bad it's going to eventually
218
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,440
disappear i think
219
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,800
be like the american indians eventually
220
00:13:44,959 --> 00:13:46,160
this is a
221
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,199
wonderful drum that's yes yes let me put
222
00:13:49,199 --> 00:13:51,199
my glasses on for i can't hear without
223
00:13:51,199 --> 00:13:53,839
my glasses
224
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,720
i just wanted to see whether there was
225
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,240
any indication whether it's male or
226
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:01,279
there are female
227
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,399
rather small but adequate i'm sure
228
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,720
i'm not quite sure what's going on but
229
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,199
it's something erotic
230
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,040
and the osmotic have no shame whatsoever
231
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,519
about displaying their genitals
232
00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:26,000
and why should they
233
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,160
this
234
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,279
is
235
00:14:29,279 --> 00:14:32,959
the main use for this is as bright price
236
00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:35,920
another reason is formally to make a
237
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,440
hole in the temple
238
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,480
and then
239
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,410
to each extract the brains

close as hopes fade that the son of new

york's governor nelson rockefeller will
254
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,880

clue to his fate the 23 year old sion of

one of america's great fortunes he was a

killed and eaten

question of that
273
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,639
but it was so
274
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:22,720
great to be with the people who were so

00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,880
fresh and so alive
276
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,160

00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,920
and i was certainly interested in them
278
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,519
and there was no hesitation on their
279
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:33,360
part about answering any questions that
280
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,700
i asked

in suburbs of new york

somebody from new guinea

knocking on the door coming in

uh what are your sexual practices and is

it true that your ancestors ate each

know what we want
300
00:18:21,919 --> 00:18:24,559

00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:26,799
intimate questions and questions that
302
00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:29,840
have an awful lot of presumptions
303
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,080

00:18:33,679 --> 00:18:35,919
about your sex practices
306
00:18:35,919 --> 00:18:38,400
um and then offering you maybe a dollar
307
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:43,840
for the information or a pound of sugar
308
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,880

exchange his wives so he has wives too

399
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,919
pick up plenty of them
400
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,440
he has relationships
401
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,080

men and women
406
00:24:43,919 --> 00:24:46,559
this is a man who clearly wants to find
407
00:24:46,559 --> 00:24:49,840
homosexuality in most societies and
408
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,320
wants to find it as a natural part
409
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,640
and while i believe that that's probably
410
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,320
true and while he believes that that's
411
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,720
probably true he brings to it a
412
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,880
preconceived desire that i think over
413
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,600
determines what he actually finds
414
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,840
is this one of your lovers no not at all
415
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,679
that was not a sexual
416
00:25:07,679 --> 00:25:10,640
uh meeting that is the normal greeting
417
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,159
in uh
418
00:25:12,159 --> 00:25:14,320

421
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:18,559

426
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,480
testicles of your male friend or not

428
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,200
about this when we get back stay with us
429
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,400
i would characterize it as a love affair
430
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,760
he was so attractive and to me still is
431
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,200
and often i can't keep my hands off him
432
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,200
but that's uh
433
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:50,960
i know i'll have to separate and i don't
434
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,080
want to make that break again
435
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,720
it isn't easy
436
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,400
we've had wonderful times together
437
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,430
he taught me also about the
438
00:26:06,430 --> 00:26:08,000
[Music]
439
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,320
not only the sexual side of life but
440
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,880
also the daily life
441
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,760
which uh included going fishing doing
442
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,440
this and that going to the sago fields
443
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,400
and
444
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:25,400
it was it was great while it lasted
445
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,720
his presence brings up the whole past
446
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,400
and i don't concentrate on anything else
447
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,120
i became a bishop in 1969.
448
00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:44,960
at that time i was the youngest the
449
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,039
youngest in the world
450
00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:50,640
you came as a tourist first right and um
451
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,640
i think really there was father trink
452
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,159
that told me that you were here i was a
453
00:26:54,159 --> 00:26:56,240
tremendous artist here he would know how
454
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,279
to do these uh sketches
455
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:00,000
of
456
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,080
the art he said marvelous things so i
457
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,559
got a hold of tobias
458
00:27:04,559 --> 00:27:06,320
he sat down and talked and he said well
459
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,360
we need a catalogue
460
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:12,880
the fact that he was jewish doesn't
461
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,400
matter at all
462
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,039
uh that though tobias is almost sexual
463
00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:18,799
that was that was his matter not my
464
00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:20,320
matter
465
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,600
i made drawings of about 300 of the
466
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,559
artifacts the copies of which are in the
467
00:27:26,559 --> 00:27:29,520
museum now
468
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:36,000
beautiful beautiful beautiful carvings
469
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,960
oh to me this was so vibrant
470
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:43,919
that
471
00:27:43,919 --> 00:27:46,559
simply by looking at the carvings i felt
472
00:27:46,559 --> 00:27:49,919
remarkably alive once again
473
00:27:49,919 --> 00:27:52,000
this speaks to me
474
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,480
i have no doubt that some of it is
475
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,360
directed right at me and i feel those
476
00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:00,360
spirits
477
00:28:01,370 --> 00:28:04,680
[Music]
478
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:12,799
i never thought of it as being in the
479
00:28:12,799 --> 00:28:15,520
natural state of man
480
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,720
my search
481
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,720
it's so pretentious to say that i was
482
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,240
out searching for something but i
483
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,760
suppose i was
484
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,159
i wanted some kind of inner peace and i
485
00:28:24,159 --> 00:28:26,080
hadn't yet found it
486
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,919
in my 20s
487
00:28:27,919 --> 00:28:30,799
i certainly didn't find it in my 30s
488
00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:34,080
i didn't find it in my 40s
489
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,240
it was only after the age of 50 that i
490
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,880
became aware that perhaps
491
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,440
life was getting easier for me not that
492
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,279
i had any money or anything that had
493
00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:45,200
nothing to do with it
494
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,159
it was only that i was able to adjust to
495
00:28:48,159 --> 00:28:50,159
life in general
496
00:28:50,159 --> 00:28:51,760
i accepted the fact that i was
497
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,720
unattractive i accepted the fact
498
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,640
that i slept alone every night for years
499
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,399
and years and years
500
00:29:00,399 --> 00:29:02,080
i accepted everything as if it were
501
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,279
natural and indeed it is natural
502
00:29:05,279 --> 00:29:07,360
it's only now in recent years that i
503
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,760
understand so many people
504
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,880
are after the same thing i'm not sure
505
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:13,679
what
506
00:29:13,679 --> 00:29:17,600
to call it inner peace is all i can say
507
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,080
and i think that we in the west
508
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,399
and i mean by the west all of europe and
509
00:29:22,399 --> 00:29:24,240
the united states
510
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,720
canada probably that we have all lost so
511
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:29,840
much
512
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,360
in what we call the advance of
513
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,760
civilization
514
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:34,799
that
515
00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:37,279
i at least for one have to come back and
516
00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:40,000
renew myself
517
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,480
went native or primitive
518
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,600
i wouldn't say that i went
519
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,679
in the other direction i went more to a
520
00:29:47,679 --> 00:29:50,240
more civilized world that's the way i
521
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,399
feel about it
522
00:29:52,399 --> 00:29:56,000
in the past it would be the
523
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,039
excuse shall i say that i gave myself
524
00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:01,120
for traveling so much into distant
525
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,120
places was that i used it in my painting
526
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,840
wherever i went i
527
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,159
drew and i made drawings over many parts
528
00:30:10,159 --> 00:30:11,840
of the world and
529
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,520
indeed made paintings out of those
530
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,440
drawings
531
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,120
and therefore it
532
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,600
it allowed me to do almost anything and
533
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,640
to see almost anything
534
00:30:38,159 --> 00:30:39,520
tomorrow
535
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,440
we are heading back to new york

00:30:44,559 --> 00:30:45,760
it's
537
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,399
it's a very difficult moment for me
538
00:30:48,399 --> 00:30:51,039
saying goodbye to my pit
539
00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:52,960
i don't know whether i'll ever see him
540
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,960

years ago
544
00:31:18,399 --> 00:31:21,440
and to renew that relationship now would
545
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,480
only give me trouble later

arrived in new york
623
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,320
first they were demonstrating their
624
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,720
carving skills at the smithsonian
625
00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:50,880
institute in washington then they spent
626
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,520
about a little over a week in new york
627
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,240
where they were an enormous success
628
00:36:56,240 --> 00:36:59,920
they went from there to new orleans
629
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,960
people were riveted to see them when the
630
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,040
azmat would walk along the streets with
631
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,800
feathers in their hair and their faces
632
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,760
all painted it was like some halloween
633
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,240
that that came out of the jungle at some
634
00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:19,240
point or other it was just beautiful
635
00:37:20,060 --> 00:37:22,070
[Music]
636
00:37:22,070 --> 00:37:28,719

they're very happy about it all here
638
00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:38,320
it's very strange to me
639
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,560
but why not i mean why shouldn't he have
640
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,200
a spirituality coming out of new york
641
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,359
and being here
642
00:37:45,359 --> 00:37:47,839
because i i've lived here all my life is
643
00:37:47,839 --> 00:37:50,160
in the whole of the story
644
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,440
[Music]
645
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,119
tobias schneiderman was born on the
646
00:37:55,119 --> 00:37:57,280
lower east side of manhattan spent most
647
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,359
of his youth in brooklyn and after the
648
00:37:59,359 --> 00:38:01,440
war studied art under tamayo and has
649
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,240
been a painter ever since
650
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:11,040
as a painter in the early 50s
651
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,200
i went to the museum of modern art as
652
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,520
often as i could
653
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,920
at one point there was an exhibition of
654
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,800
photographs of the ruins and landscape
655
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,119
around machu picchu
656
00:38:23,119 --> 00:38:25,839
and i took one look at the ruins and i
657
00:38:25,839 --> 00:38:27,839
decided that's where i have to go one
658
00:38:27,839 --> 00:38:29,440
day
659
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,000
and when i later applied for fulbright i
660
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,760
asked to go to peru
661
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,160
i just had to go and find out for myself
662
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,480
what the people were like
663
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,400
and it was one of the most exciting
664
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,960
experiences i ever had and ever will
665
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,079
have
666
00:38:44,079 --> 00:38:47,680
and this is the kind of ladder that uh
667
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,240
erode
668
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:53,119
hitchhiking really from new york all the
669
00:38:53,119 --> 00:38:55,839
way to peru
670
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,400
i traveled all over peru
671
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,040
and met an archaeologist who told me
672
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,280
about a remote catholic mission in the
673
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,640
jungle
674
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,240
and he told me that that's where i
675
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:09,440
should go
676
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,520
because he said that there was a mission
677
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:12,880
some days
678
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,040
into the jungle to which i would have to
679
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,440
walk and he would get the directions for
680
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,680
me and i went to this mission
681
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,079
where there was a dominican missionary
682
00:39:22,079 --> 00:39:25,119
of some 69 years of age
683
00:39:25,119 --> 00:39:28,320
and some two other white people and
684
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,320
while i was there
685
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:31,520
after
686
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,200
five or six weeks
687
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,160
a man appeared out of the jungle and he
688
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,000
had feathers
689
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,560
stuck into the flesh around his mouth
690
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,800
and that man told us that his whole
691
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,000
tribe had been killed by another tribe
692
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,760
and because the minute i heard that i
693
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,760
decided
694
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,280
there and i touched one of them on
695
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,000
probably the shoulder or the back
696
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,040
and suddenly he put his hands on my
697
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,079
shoulders
698
00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:24,560
and then put his arms around me and we
699
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,040
kind of jumped up and down
700
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,079
this is me back in 55
701
00:40:30,079 --> 00:40:34,400
i looked very different then i must say
702
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:40,480
i stayed there altogether several months
703
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,079
the americaida gave me the name
704
00:40:44,079 --> 00:40:45,760
haber
705
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,520
i think it means the ignorant one
706
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,839
i loved every minute of my time up until
707
00:40:53,839 --> 00:40:55,920
the moment we went on
708
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,839
a raid i didn't realize what was
709
00:40:57,839 --> 00:41:01,680
happening but we went on a raid
710
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,319
and the night before
711
00:41:04,319 --> 00:41:06,800
we danced around the fire i had no idea
712
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,400
what was going on
713
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,480
i will never forget the song they sang
714
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,960
that night
715
00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:17,520
i can't remember the melody but it
716
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:18,800
haunts me
717
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,839
even now
718
00:41:22,319 --> 00:41:25,040
i spent most of the day walking
719
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,440
i guess it was east i didn't know where
720
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,280
we were going i didn't know what was
721
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:30,960
happening
722
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,240
suddenly
723
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:33,599
they stopped
724
00:41:33,599 --> 00:41:35,920
and they began to paint themselves
725
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,240
they put the red on their faces and they
726
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:40,160
put this black paint
727
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:44,000
and then they painted me
728
00:41:44,079 --> 00:41:45,760
and the next thing i knew we were at a
729
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,000
village people were screaming running
730
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,000
back and forth
731
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,160
and there were these people who were
732
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,760
being killed by my friends
733
00:42:00,319 --> 00:42:02,960
when i left peru i felt the whole
734
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,200
experience of being with the amara qaeda
735
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,680
was too vivid in me and i was so
736
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,800
disturbed by the events that happened
737
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,280
that i had to get it out one way or
738
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,200
another
739
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,599
i was approached by mary britton miller
740
00:42:19,599 --> 00:42:23,119
a poet she wanted me to collaborate with
741
00:42:23,119 --> 00:42:25,119
her on a children's book
742
00:42:25,119 --> 00:42:28,079
it was based on my experiences in the
743
00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:30,560
jungle in peru
744
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,760
she did the verses and i illustrated
745
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,000
them
746
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,760
working on that book
747
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,720
allowed me to grapple with the demons
748
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:47,520
that were in me
749
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,599
and it allowed me also to
750
00:42:55,599 --> 00:43:00,400
express myself more fully in a book
751
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,640
called keep the river on your right
752
00:43:07,839 --> 00:43:10,560
publishers weekly had this to say about
753
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,480
keep the river on your right
754
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,880
authentic deeply moving sensuously
755
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,440
written and incredibly haunting one of
756
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,040
the most engrossing and strangely
757
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,960
beautiful personal stories of this or
758
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,240
any season
759
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:24,400
and in the beginning tobias has a
760
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,119
quotation from the teachings of don juan
761
00:43:27,119 --> 00:43:29,520
in which he writes look at every past
762
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,359
closely and deliberately
763
00:43:31,359 --> 00:43:33,119
try it as many times as you think
764
00:43:33,119 --> 00:43:36,079
necessary but ask yourself and yourself
765
00:43:36,079 --> 00:43:38,960
alone one question does this path
766
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,750
have a heart
767
00:43:40,750 --> 00:43:50,830
[Music]
768
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,160
so
769
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,359
i only know that i have been waiting
770
00:44:13,359 --> 00:44:15,119
patiently to get a
771
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:19,880
frankfurter a hot dog from nathan's
772
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,760
i have always lusted after the wild man
773
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,400
of borneo
774
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:32,560
and my earliest memories reached back to
775
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,800
him
776
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,240
i was in coney island with my brothers
777
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:40,000
and mother
778
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,880
she hurting us along surf avenue into
779
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:47,880
the dark shadows under the broad door
780
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:52,960
i think it was at the time when my
781
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,880
mother had some
782
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,000
cancers on her face and on her body
783
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,000
and the doctor advised her to go into
784
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,100
the salt water
785
00:45:01,100 --> 00:45:02,800
[Music]
786
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,640
so we would come at night so that nobody
787
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,960
could see my mother undressed
788
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,640
and she'd be right under where we're
789
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,040
standing now more or less
790
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,520
to change into her bathing suit and then
791
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,359
she would just lie in the water for an
792
00:45:15,359 --> 00:45:19,000
hour or two
793
00:45:20,850 --> 00:45:26,500
[Applause]
794
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,200
i couldn't
795
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:32,800
understand why
796
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,480
god if such a being exists
797
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,480
why god allowed such a thing to happen
798
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,760
to my beautiful mother
799
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,680
it was a horrifying time but somehow it
800
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,560
was also a curious time
801
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,359
i was walking with my mother and my
802
00:45:51,359 --> 00:45:52,960
brothers
803
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:57,880
when we came upon this sideshow
804
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,839
i gasped when i saw this sign saying the
805
00:46:03,839 --> 00:46:05,760
wild man of borneo
806
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,680
now gertie make a monkey face at the
807
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,280
boat so they'll always remember how
808
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,440
pretty you are i want them all to dream
809
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,960
about you when they go home tonight
810
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:15,920
[Music]
811
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,240
he intrigued me so much
812
00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:20,720
that that image remains today
813
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:24,560
75 years later vivid in my mind
814
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,240
[Music]
815
00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:28,240
part of the transition from primitivism
816
00:46:28,240 --> 00:46:30,160
earlier in the century to primitivism in
817
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,760
the late part of the century is that
818
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,839
it's all much closer to home
819
00:46:33,839 --> 00:46:36,319
instead of trying to venture out into
820
00:46:36,319 --> 00:46:38,480
exotic space which was once the
821
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,560
privileged mode
822
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,440
places like tattoo collars uh like malls
823
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,359
where you can buy the the jewelry
824
00:46:45,359 --> 00:46:47,359
that'll go into the ears or into the
825
00:46:47,359 --> 00:46:49,599
into the penis those have become the
826
00:46:49,599 --> 00:46:51,520
sites of primitivism
827
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,240
it's like consumer tribalism
828
00:46:54,240 --> 00:46:56,560
i understand that young people
829
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,839
today like to get tattooed and pierced i
830
00:46:59,839 --> 00:47:01,599
had the desire once
831
00:47:01,599 --> 00:47:03,520
to have my nose pierced in the way the
832
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,720
asthma i do and have that big bone
833
00:47:06,720 --> 00:47:10,800
a shell go through my nose but i really
834
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,240
didn't want to do it
835
00:47:12,240 --> 00:47:13,680
the only thing i ever did was have
836
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,319
myself scarified
837
00:47:16,319 --> 00:47:18,560
but i looked so many young people i'm
838
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,480
not sure what they're looking for
839
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,000
maybe they're looking for exactly what
840
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,000
i've been searching for all my life
841
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,400
maybe they're the same as i am
842
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,280
but it does look a little silly
843
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,599
but then again
844
00:47:31,599 --> 00:47:33,520
things that i thought were exciting
845
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,090
would look silly to them today
846
00:47:36,090 --> 00:47:49,039
[Music]
847
00:47:50,319 --> 00:47:52,480
pictures of harry carey trudging through
848
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,880
the savage forest and the enervating
849
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:56,240
heat
850
00:47:56,240 --> 00:47:59,200
rifles across the crooks of their elbows
851
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,079
clothes and shreds sweat pouring down
852
00:48:02,079 --> 00:48:04,880
their faces and staining armpits
853
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,280
they were pushing on to gold or diamond
854
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,920
mines or off to rescue golden-haired
855
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,960
princesses held captive by leopard name
856
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,760
or by painted zulus known to trap and
857
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,680
mutilate all whites
858
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,680
tearing off their genitals and eating
859
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,000
them to gain the white man's strength
860
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,720
and magic
861
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,440
but i wanted it reversed
862
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,400
i wanted the wild man inside me
863
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,359
masticated swallowed
864
00:48:33,359 --> 00:48:35,119
absorbed
865
00:48:35,119 --> 00:48:37,680
yet i ask myself
866
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,559
is my drive to reach the unknown
867
00:48:40,559 --> 00:48:43,599
to go farther and farther into danger
868
00:48:43,599 --> 00:48:45,760
away to masculinity
869
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:50,400
or nothing more than a masochistic drama
870
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,480
i wrote that
871
00:48:58,319 --> 00:49:01,680
no sour part in the summer

873
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:16,119
very good probably the same outdoors
874
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,440
i thoroughly enjoy having sex i like it
875
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,599
i still enjoy it
876
00:49:23,599 --> 00:49:26,559
alas i
877
00:49:26,559 --> 00:49:28,480
to be perfectly honest
878
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,720
i'm ready for viagra or i've been ready
879
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:33,920
for viagra for quite a while
880
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,079
but nonetheless i can have as i can have
881
00:49:36,079 --> 00:49:38,160
a great deal of pleasure as things are
882
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,480
right now
883
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,200
there's nothing toby likes more i think
884
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:44,640
than the idea
885
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:45,520
of
886
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:50,240
some kind of like smelly scarified
887
00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:54,720
matted haired tattooed and pierced
888
00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:56,880
black man
889
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,000
naked and with a heart on
890
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,680
and that's just toby's that's like
891
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,559
toby's dream i was very charmed by toby
892
00:50:04,559 --> 00:50:07,359
when i met him for the first time
893
00:50:07,359 --> 00:50:11,520
it's very charming in a cocktail party
894
00:50:11,599 --> 00:50:13,359
the fact that he was so much older than
895
00:50:13,359 --> 00:50:15,119
i was just
896
00:50:15,119 --> 00:50:16,880
i don't know it just seemed like i was
897
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,359
glad to do something
898
00:50:19,359 --> 00:50:22,000
with toby that he wanted to do
899
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,839
because he's a good friend and and i
900
00:50:23,839 --> 00:50:25,359
can't you know i can't have sex with all
901
00:50:25,359 --> 00:50:27,359
my friends but with toby
902
00:50:27,359 --> 00:50:31,440
i could do that just because um
903
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,760
he's so he's so
904
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:35,440
undeceitful you know there's just
905
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,440
nothing about toby that is
906
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,400
that is that has a an ulterior motive i
907
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,839
mean it's it is what it is
908
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,280
how i was telling oh
909
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,520
all the way out no i think
910
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,200
which was rare in those days it was a
911
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,680
very conservative time
912
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,000
we knew each other back in the early 50s
913
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,800
51 even
914
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,200
i lived at 39 first avenue and norman
915
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,160
lived at 41. 41. yeah we lived next door
916
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,200
toby was like our house homosexual
917
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,440
you see we were lowering the bands for
918
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,440
him and then of course we did all these
919
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,680
things the attitude was
920
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,079
my god how did our house homosexual do
921
00:51:16,079 --> 00:51:17,520
all this
922
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,440
you know so you changed my notions about
923
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:20,240
the
924
00:51:20,240 --> 00:51:22,160
essential nature of homosexuals i've
925
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:23,599
really been quite complacent about it up
926
00:51:23,599 --> 00:51:25,359
to that point you know homosexuals can
927
00:51:25,359 --> 00:51:27,119
be very nice people very sweet people
928
00:51:27,119 --> 00:51:28,240
but they're limited there's certain
929
00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:30,240
things they don't do
930
00:51:30,240 --> 00:51:31,680
toby's one of the most extraordinary
931
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,280
people i've ever known there was such
932
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,520
sensitivity in them at the same time
933
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,160
such warmth and such timidity and fear
934
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,319
in him he really has a
935
00:51:40,319 --> 00:51:41,920
ends to himself that are larger than
936
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:43,599
anyone i know on the one hand he's
937
00:51:43,599 --> 00:51:45,040
terrified of a dead mouse and on the
938
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,599
other hand he'll go into the jungle
939
00:51:47,599 --> 00:51:50,240
and and live with cannibals i really had
940
00:51:50,240 --> 00:51:53,599
never understood the depth of toby's
941
00:51:53,599 --> 00:51:56,240
motivation his seriousness
942
00:51:56,240 --> 00:51:57,920
when you're friends with someone you
943
00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:59,359
tend to know them in their middling
944
00:51:59,359 --> 00:52:00,960
periods and their low periods and not
945
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:02,800
often in their high periods you don't
946
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,079
necessarily see your friends at their
947
00:52:04,079 --> 00:52:05,520
best
948
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:06,960
that's why you're friends with people
949
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:08,000
because you don't have to be at your
950
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,599
best with them you know there's a cut
951
00:52:09,599 --> 00:52:11,040
there's an element of comfort and
952
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,040
friendship which so that generally when
953
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:14,319
your friends do exceptional things it's
954
00:52:14,319 --> 00:52:16,160
a little surprising
955
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,000
and and that was the feeling i had i was
956
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,079
surprised i thought gee toby's got so
957
00:52:20,079 --> 00:52:21,760
much to him and i never saw what kind of
958
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,319
novelist am i
959
00:52:24,319 --> 00:52:26,559
why have i not been back to
960
00:52:26,559 --> 00:52:29,680
peru in 45 years
961
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,720
how do i feel about going back now well
962
00:52:32,720 --> 00:52:35,280
i am 78 years old
963
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,640
i have parkinson's
964
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,880
so i don't have much time anyway one way
965
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,800
or another
966
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,040
the minute the whole business started of
967
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,920
going back to peru i began having
968
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,119
nightmares
969
00:52:49,119 --> 00:52:50,640
it's something that i don't want to
970
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,880
think about and i've tried over the
971
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,440
years not to think about it but i don't
972
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:57,040
want to go back
973
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:58,800
i really don't
974
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,599
the producers and directors have talked
975
00:53:01,599 --> 00:53:02,960
me into it
976
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,319
because surely
977
00:53:04,319 --> 00:53:08,000
all the people are dead that i had met
978
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,400
in 45 years how could they possibly have
979
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,400
survived

984
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,000
once i wrote something about
985
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,440
the landscape
986
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:59,599
being so thrilling to me and my god
987
00:53:59,599 --> 00:54:01,760
it's like having an orgasm
988
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,400
i didn't have an orgasm but it felt like
989
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:08,440
i was going to have one
990
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:21,099
[Music]
991
00:54:23,119 --> 00:54:25,359
everything is sacred to me
992
00:54:25,359 --> 00:54:28,160
landscape
993
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,400
human beings
994
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:31,839
light
995
00:54:31,839 --> 00:54:34,319
the sun
996
00:54:34,319 --> 00:54:36,960
my painting
997
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,119
my writing
998
00:54:39,119 --> 00:54:41,920
my friends
999
00:54:42,319 --> 00:54:43,119
i
1000
00:54:43,119 --> 00:54:45,760
absorb whatever i can from the
1001
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:47,119
atmosphere
1002
00:54:47,119 --> 00:54:49,520
and that almost makes me
1003
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,160
makes me into another human being one
1004
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,920
that can make contact with others
1005
00:54:59,599 --> 00:55:03,160
it's very scary
1006
00:55:53,359 --> 00:55:55,280
wow look at this
1007
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:58,240
at this unbelievable place called machu
1008
00:55:58,240 --> 00:56:01,240
picchu
1009
00:56:02,799 --> 00:56:05,200
to come and put my feet again on the
1010
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,160
stone steps and walk around here
1011
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,040
is like being it's like a magic
1012
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,520
and like my being back at the times of
1013
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,680
the inca
1014
00:56:21,359 --> 00:56:23,680
my imagination goes a little kaflui at
1015
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:24,640
times
1016
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,359
but i really feel
1017
00:56:27,359 --> 00:56:28,240
some
1018
00:56:28,240 --> 00:56:29,680
continuation
1019
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:30,960
from the
1020
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:31,839
inca
1021
00:56:31,839 --> 00:56:34,240
through ruins like this to somebody like
1022
00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:36,720
myself
1023
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,079
so what is that
1024
00:56:40,079 --> 00:56:43,720
hello little bird
1025
00:56:44,319 --> 00:56:48,240
ah look at that isn't that gorgeous
1026
00:56:50,319 --> 00:56:52,960
it is a passion fruit
1027
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,960
delicious
1028
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,680
oh boy
1029
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,920
we pride ourselves and all the
1030
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:03,760
advancements we made
1031
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,079
but they weren't so bad the inca or the
1032
00:57:06,079 --> 00:57:07,119
aztec
1033
00:57:07,119 --> 00:57:10,000
the maya who kind who
1034
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:11,920
invented for themselves the concept of
1035
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,520
zero which
1036
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,119
we probably didn't have it at the time
1037
00:57:15,119 --> 00:57:17,599
they invented it
1038
00:57:17,599 --> 00:57:21,040
my older brother was a mathematician
1039
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,599
and he worked for nasa
1040
00:57:23,599 --> 00:57:26,000
i followed in his footsteps or at least
1041
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,319
that's what i wanted to do i admired him
1042
00:57:28,319 --> 00:57:30,799
greatly
1043
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:35,440
then he died as many people do
1044
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,640
i'm old
1045
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:42,240
yet look with what i'm doing
1046
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,960
machu picchu one of the great
1047
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,200
ruins of the world and here i am sitting
1048
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,440
in the middle of it
1049
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,160
78 years old doesn't seem to
1050
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:55,160
matter
1051
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:58,799
i'm just about ready to move on
1052
00:57:58,799 --> 00:58:00,720
see it isn't so bad getting older even
1053
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,760
if i have a heart attack on the way up
1054
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:05,119
i will have done everything that i
1055
00:58:05,119 --> 00:58:08,960
wanted to do in my life
1056
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,119
so
1057
00:58:11,119 --> 00:58:13,920
why complain about anything
1058
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,119
do i fear death i don't think i do
1059
00:58:17,119 --> 00:58:18,960
when the time comes maybe i will be
1060
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,440
terrified but at the moment i don't
1061
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,680
i don't think so
1062
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,559
i remember when i had my first operation
1063
00:58:26,559 --> 00:58:28,559
for cancer of the colon
1064
00:58:28,559 --> 00:58:30,480
26
1065
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,880
27 years ago
1066
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,960
and they had given me valium or
1067
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,160
something i don't remember what it was
1068
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:41,119
but i was wide awake
1069
00:58:41,119 --> 00:58:43,520
and they wheeled me the wheel the gurney
1070
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,119
on which i was lying
1071
00:58:45,119 --> 00:58:47,040
into the elevator
1072
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:48,799
and i said to myself
1073
00:58:48,799 --> 00:58:50,400
well the worst thing that can happen to
1074
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,119
you is that you'll die
1075
00:58:53,119 --> 00:58:55,280
and somehow that made everything much
1076
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,410
easier for me
1077
00:58:57,410 --> 00:59:02,420

00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,000
showing you in which he relates his
1081
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,240
experiences while living with a tribe of
1082
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,240
cannibals for seven months in south

america
1084
00:59:18,319 --> 00:59:20,400
he does this uh things like this because
1085
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:21,599
as an artist and a part-time
1086
00:59:21,599 --> 00:59:23,440
archaeologist he feels he can get closer
1087
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,200
to the essence of man by observing
1088
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:26,960
primitive cultures would you agree

i
1099
01:00:01,119 --> 01:00:02,559

1100
01:00:02,559 --> 01:00:05,599
wandered into the jungle
1101
01:00:06,319 --> 01:00:09,119
we're now in the cloud forest when we go
1102
01:00:09,119 --> 01:00:10,079

top of a truck

01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:37,040
the people were kind of squashed in

01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,200
warming me because we were all
1111
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,520
in a bundle so to speak
1112
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:42,559

they were so friendly and so gentle and
1114
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,359
so sweet to me
1115
01:00:47,359 --> 01:00:50,640
they kept offering me sweet potatoes or
1116
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:52,160
cassava
1117
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:53,839
they were all chattering at me even
1118
01:00:53,839 --> 01:00:55,359
though they knew i didn't understand
1119
01:00:55,359 --> 01:00:56,480
quechua
1120
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,880

as far as i could go
1132
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,079

1133
01:01:32,079 --> 01:01:35,079

what i'm trying to do tobias i'm trying
1136
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:50,799
to find out where you actually started
1137
01:01:50,799 --> 01:01:52,400
walking from and i think we have two
1138
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:54,559
candidates and i think this is one of
1139
01:01:54,559 --> 01:01:56,160
them but i'm sure it's completely
1140
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,480
unrecognizable too if it couldn't have
1141
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:00,319
been from here because the the river has
1142
01:02:00,319 --> 01:02:04,359
to be very close by
1143
01:02:33,839 --> 01:02:35,839
it's making me very nervous
1144
01:02:35,839 --> 01:02:38,240
walking here because it's so
1145
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:39,599
familiar
1146
01:02:39,599 --> 01:02:41,920
but it may not be the right place
1147
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:45,280
but it looks so familiar
1148
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:46,839
sounds like the river
1149
01:02:46,839 --> 01:02:50,240
too but there has to be a bridge or
1150
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:53,200
would have been a bridge
1151
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,480
it's scary to come back to a place that
1152
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:02,240
you're not sure about whether it's the
1153
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:06,039
place you were at before
1154
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:25,280
could you tell me please
1155
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,440
uh whether there was ever a bridge here
1156
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:30,480
yeah a little really
1157
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,000
okay he remembers the trail on the left
1158
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,920
side of the river with the river on your
1159
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:36,880
right
1160
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:41,200
going all the way down to the mission
1161
01:03:43,119 --> 01:03:45,599
the only bridge here
1162
01:03:45,599 --> 01:03:47,280
was right at the spot where the modern
1163
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:50,880
day bridge is i'm looking
1164
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:52,640
see there where that concrete foundation
1165
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:56,559
is there's some cables coming out
1166
01:03:56,559 --> 01:03:58,799
this is the madios river
1167
01:03:58,799 --> 01:04:00,960
the river that i kept on my right in my
1168
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:02,480
book
1169
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,720
and my travels i climbed and i didn't
1170
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:06,799
climb but i went along those mountains
1171
01:04:06,799 --> 01:04:07,839
there
1172
01:04:07,839 --> 01:04:10,000
the mission the catholic mission was
1173
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:13,559
down that way
1174
01:05:01,359 --> 01:05:03,359
who went alone without a compass or a
1175
01:05:03,359 --> 01:05:05,599
gun in the jungle of peru
1176
01:05:05,599 --> 01:05:08,079
he had no sense he had no fear call him
1177
01:05:08,079 --> 01:05:09,119
a fool
1178
01:05:09,119 --> 01:05:11,200
he did not wear heavy shoes but wore
1179
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:13,839
only a pair of sneakers on his feet
1180
01:05:13,839 --> 01:05:16,319
a pair of pants and on his back a khaki
1181
01:05:16,319 --> 01:05:17,280
shirt
1182
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:19,839
he had no sack nothing of use to him at
1183
01:05:19,839 --> 01:05:22,319
all and all tobias had to eat was some
1184
01:05:22,319 --> 01:05:24,319
farina in a bowl
1185
01:05:24,319 --> 01:05:27,039
he had his ears he had his sight
1186
01:05:27,039 --> 01:05:31,359
to buy a snail-bound traveled light
1187
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,680
wow
1188
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:45,799
this is the trail
1189
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:54,480
i don't think i'll ever forget
1190
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:56,480
the time i got lost
1191
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:59,920
i couldn't find the trail for the river
1192
01:05:59,920 --> 01:06:01,599
it was supposed to be following the
1193
01:06:01,599 --> 01:06:04,640
river on the left bank
1194
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:05,920
but it didn't
1195
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:09,039
i couldn't find it so i just sat down
1196
01:06:09,039 --> 01:06:11,200
nobody around nothing
1197
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:12,480
was there but
1198
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:13,280
me
1199
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:16,480
and all the animals and all the forest
1200
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:18,799
an exciting experience in itself but i
1201
01:06:18,799 --> 01:06:21,440
was lost
1202
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:24,920
i was lost
1203
01:06:34,559 --> 01:06:37,559
so
1204
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:49,760
every night since you've been here
1205
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:53,520
you've had nightmares do you know that
1206
01:06:55,039 --> 01:06:58,240
no but it doesn't surprise me
1207
01:06:58,240 --> 01:06:59,760
do you know what your nightmares are
1208
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:00,400
about
1209
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:01,280
no
1210
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:05,240
and i don't want to know
1211
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,640
i really thought that the amara caye was
1212
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:25,359
still going to be here but they weren't
1213
01:07:25,359 --> 01:07:29,440
there were these machi gengar who
1214
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:31,119
recognized me
1215
01:07:31,119 --> 01:07:36,079
after 45 years not having been there
1216
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:37,680
he remembered him
1217
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:42,440
he saw me passing and he remembered
1218
01:07:55,599 --> 01:07:57,440
beautiful
1219
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,720
i'm quite overwhelmed
1220
01:08:02,559 --> 01:08:05,680
it's very scary
1221
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,400
to come back after 45 years and somebody
1222
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,839
recognizes me right away
1223
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,440
that's something
1224
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:19,679
yeah these people here are now living in
1225
01:08:19,679 --> 01:08:20,640
another
1226
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,640
uh
1227
01:08:24,319 --> 01:08:26,560
were not used to to living in a
1228
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:28,479
community there were always conflicts
1229
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:30,560
between families
1230
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:32,719
struggles discussions over women and
1231
01:08:32,719 --> 01:08:34,319
they just left
1232
01:08:34,319 --> 01:08:38,120
how far has san jose
1233
01:08:45,359 --> 01:08:48,560
it is six hours away and
1234
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:52,839
i don't know whether i can make it
1235
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:07,199
i'm mad at the film
1236
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,199
what made you want decide to seek out
1237
01:10:07,199 --> 01:10:09,040
the cannibalistic tribe
1238
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,679
well actually i didn't seek out at first
1239
01:10:11,679 --> 01:10:13,679
first the cannibalistic tribe i sort out
1240
01:10:13,679 --> 01:10:14,880
the mission
1241
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,760
a mission in the jungle
1242
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:55,360
makes me more and more nervous if there
1243
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:58,159
is anyone who is left of the malacada i
1244
01:10:58,159 --> 01:10:59,440
hope
1245
01:10:59,440 --> 01:11:01,520
one of the photographs will trigger them
1246
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:03,120
their memories
1247
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:06,679
we'll see what happens
1248
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:05,520
i am supposed to be
1249
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:09,080
all the americans
1250
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,159
still were still living when i met them
1251
01:12:12,159 --> 01:12:15,120
so living a more pure life
1252
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,040
that had to do with their own culture at
1253
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:17,840
them
1254
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:19,920
rather than father
1255
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:22,480
alvarez or father moiseas as i called
1256
01:12:22,480 --> 01:12:24,159
him in the book
1257
01:12:24,159 --> 01:12:27,520
who was of course converting them to
1258
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:29,360
catholicism
1259
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:31,040
of course i couldn't say anything about
1260
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:33,199
that
1261
01:12:33,199 --> 01:12:34,239
that's
1262
01:12:34,239 --> 01:12:36,400
what he wanted to do and they accepted
1263
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,480
it so i can't complain
1264
01:12:38,480 --> 01:12:41,180
it does that
1265
01:12:41,180 --> 01:12:51,920
[Music]
1266
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:56,040
i really love that sound
1267
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:20,320
the harder the better the more difficult
1268
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:22,560
it is to get to a place the fewer other
1269
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:24,560
people have been there if you were
1270
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:27,360
foreigners or westerners or whatever you
1271
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:30,000
call them i've been there and that's the
1272
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,120
kind of place i'm most enjoy going to
1273
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:34,640
where there have been either no one
1274
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:35,840
before me
1275
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:39,640
or only a few
1276
01:13:57,280 --> 01:14:00,280
okay
1277
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:07,880
yes
1278
01:14:10,810 --> 01:14:14,979
[Music]
1279
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:20,800
i thought you know i'm a painter i'm
1280
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:22,719
going to be very clever i'm going to
1281
01:14:22,719 --> 01:14:24,239
write down all these make all these
1282
01:14:24,239 --> 01:14:25,840
drawings and show them and they will
1283
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,400
know everything and you didn't they had
1284
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:30,159
never seen a drawing in their lives they
1285
01:14:30,159 --> 01:14:32,159
had no idea no concept of what a drawing
1286
01:14:32,159 --> 01:14:35,159
was
1287
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,800
change is brought about by
1288
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:51,760
the first person who arrives
1289
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:53,760
for the good or the bad
1290
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,480
it's rarely for the good as far as i see
1291
01:14:56,480 --> 01:14:59,480
it
1292
01:14:59,730 --> 01:15:02,790
[Music]
1293
01:15:18,159 --> 01:15:21,360
this is me here over here and with my
1294
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:22,960
white skin
1295
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:25,120
and this is uh
1296
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:26,320
whose brother
1297
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,120
is right here
1298
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:39,360
he appears on the on both photos this is
1299
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:41,679
him and this guy here with the
1300
01:15:41,679 --> 01:15:45,719
bows and arrows is
1301
01:15:50,540 --> 01:15:55,610
[Laughter]
1302
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:05,000
foreign
1303
01:16:07,250 --> 01:16:11,510
[Laughter]
1304
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:25,440
did you try to give them something from
1305
01:16:25,440 --> 01:16:26,719
our society
1306
01:16:26,719 --> 01:16:28,400
like a camera to show them something
1307
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:29,760
that will open their mind they won't
1308
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:32,640
understand where minds were open our
1309
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:35,040
minds are the closed minds let's not say
1310
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:36,960
that but let's say that our minds are
1311
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,199
different did you try to show their mind
1312
01:16:39,199 --> 01:16:41,199
which is in your words bigger than ours
1313
01:16:41,199 --> 01:16:42,640
did you try to show them something that
1314
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,520
our mind grasped do they have a family
1315
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:49,600
structure as we know it no no they uh
1316
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:52,239
nobody got married they had a kind of uh
1317
01:16:52,239 --> 01:16:55,840
free and open society
1318
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,159
what can i say like the hippies
1319
01:16:58,159 --> 01:16:59,760
is it
1320
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:00,680
wasn't like
1321
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:02,719
[Applause]
1322
01:17:02,719 --> 01:17:04,159
here's an interesting point though i
1323
01:17:04,159 --> 01:17:06,719
understand that there is no crime in a
1324
01:17:06,719 --> 01:17:08,800
society such as this is that true there
1325
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:10,719
was no such thing as personal property
1326
01:17:10,719 --> 01:17:12,880
or anything like that nobody stole it
1327
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:16,480
from anybody or anything nobody stole it
1328
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:20,239
do you know how long it takes to make a
1329
01:17:20,239 --> 01:17:21,920
bow
1330
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:23,920
they have nothing else to do
1331
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:25,760
well that's all right true they see they
1332
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,560
have nothing just loosely they make it
1333
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:30,880
what do
1334
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:32,640
those are personal belongings so they
1335
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:34,159
sit in an office all day long that's
1336
01:17:34,159 --> 01:17:36,480
better
1337
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:43,320
than
1338
01:17:52,070 --> 01:17:56,700
[Laughter]
1339
01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:59,520
on going on hunting expeditions with
1340
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:02,239
them yeah and he tried very hard but
1341
01:18:02,239 --> 01:18:06,920
he couldn't it's absolutely true
1342
01:18:38,159 --> 01:18:40,159
did you learn anything from them well i
1343
01:18:40,159 --> 01:18:43,920
learned about compassion and love and
1344
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:45,920
humane things
1345
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:47,520
things that are very difficult to find
1346
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:48,800
here
1347
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:50,800
i mean people in our society no longer
1348
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:53,520
have compassion for each other
1349
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:55,199
they're only interested in themselves
1350
01:18:55,199 --> 01:18:56,880
when you say compassion for each other
1351
01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:58,960
how do you how do you justify them
1352
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:00,560
killing another tribe
1353
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:02,719
it's another tribe it's out of their
1354
01:19:02,719 --> 01:19:03,920
group
1355
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:05,600
that's hardly showing compassion though
1356
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:08,080
to walk out and kill a whole tribe
1357

murder and i left partly because of that

and partially because i had to return to

1391
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:51,040
came another hunting trip with many men
1392
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:53,679
and me among them freshly painted going
1393
01:23:53,679 --> 01:23:56,239
farther and farther into the forest
1394
01:23:56,239 --> 01:23:58,480
carrying in my hand my bow and arrows
1395
01:23:58,480 --> 01:24:01,199
while they carried theirs too and axes
1396
01:24:01,199 --> 01:24:03,760
of stone as well
1397
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:05,760
the reigns of the season had already
1398
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:06,800
begun
1399
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:08,960
and sheets of water drenched the jungle
1400
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:12,159
and flooded the rivers
1401
01:24:12,719 --> 01:24:14,000
did you know you were going on a
1402
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,880
railroad no idea we went on a longer
1403
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:19,120
hunt than we had gone before and we
1404
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:21,040
waited until nightfall and then we all
1405
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:23,520
raised we ran into this village and they
1406
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:25,920
killed all the men inside
1407
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:27,600
they didn't try to stop them or anything
1408
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,000
no i was in their society
1409
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:31,440
i mean i was living and trying to live
1410
01:24:31,440 --> 01:24:33,120
their kind of life why should i stop
1411
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:34,960
them from doing what their things what
1412
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:36,320
was your reaction when you saw them well
1413
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:37,500
i got sick
1414
01:24:37,500 --> 01:24:38,719
[Music]
1415
01:24:38,719 --> 01:24:40,560
but i'm not ashamed
1416
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:43,120
i participated in somebody else in a
1417
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:45,360
group with a group of people who had a
1418
01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:48,800
different kind of lifestyle
1419
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:51,440
before going there or
1420
01:24:51,440 --> 01:24:52,719
meeting other
1421
01:24:52,719 --> 01:24:55,360
so-called primitive people
1422
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:57,120
i always
1423
01:24:57,120 --> 01:24:58,719
tried to
1424
01:24:58,719 --> 01:25:01,040
delve into their lives or to move into
1425
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:04,639
their lives as closely as possible
1426
01:25:04,639 --> 01:25:05,840
but it
1427
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:09,199
was always difficult separating myself
1428
01:25:09,199 --> 01:25:11,520
from them later what was your feeling
1429
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:13,760
about all the killing
1430
01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:15,360
well the killing was what disturbed me
1431
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:17,360
the cannibalism didn't bother me at all
1432
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:20,800
i participated to uh
1433
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:25,199
to much more much much more of an extent
1434
01:25:25,199 --> 01:25:26,960
then i would have wished let's face it
1435
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:30,719
as long as i had to participate
1436
01:25:32,159 --> 01:25:34,000
one of the men
1437
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:35,120
who
1438
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:36,800
came over to me
1439
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:41,440
and put the spear in my hand
1440
01:25:41,440 --> 01:25:43,440
and
1441
01:25:43,440 --> 01:25:46,000
pushed the spear into what was already a
1442
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:47,440
dead body
1443
01:25:47,440 --> 01:25:48,960
even though it didn't matter to me that
1444
01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:52,159
the body was dead it was
1445
01:25:52,239 --> 01:25:55,440
that the spear went into it just
1446
01:25:55,440 --> 01:25:57,199
i don't know it's very hard to cope with
1447
01:25:57,199 --> 01:25:59,120
something like that
1448
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:00,480
and i
1449
01:26:00,480 --> 01:26:02,719
i can't i still haven't coped with it
1450
01:26:02,719 --> 01:26:04,320
let's face it
1451
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:06,480
no matter what i say
1452
01:26:06,480 --> 01:26:09,120
i still know that it's too difficult for
1453
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:11,280
me
1454
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,120
did you actually take part in the eating
1455
01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:18,400
of the flesh yes i did oh goodness
1456
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:21,040
why do you say that well i did
1457
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:22,880
how could you it was powerful it was
1458
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:24,800
simple i was there
1459
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:27,199
how did you think you told me if i liked
1460
01:26:27,199 --> 01:26:30,800
pork like pork
1461
01:26:31,199 --> 01:26:33,920
everyone was up dancing and
1462
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:36,719
having a great time
1463
01:26:36,719 --> 01:26:40,080
and when it came my turn i just ate a
1464
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:40,960
piece
1465
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:43,600
there wasn't much that i ate but it was
1466
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:46,880
certainly human flesh
1467
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:48,400
at first i thought it was part of the
1468
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:51,600
heart but i don't think so
1469
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:53,520
i don't even remember now what part of
1470
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:55,360
the body it was
1471
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:58,719
it was just a small piece of flesh
1472
01:26:58,719 --> 01:27:00,719
awful
1473
01:27:00,719 --> 01:27:03,360
are you accountable
1474
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:05,199
well that one instance
1475
01:27:05,199 --> 01:27:06,480
certainly
1476
01:27:06,480 --> 01:27:09,199
i was a cannibal
1477
01:27:09,199 --> 01:27:12,400
but that doesn't make me a cannibal
1478
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:14,480
i'm not a cannibal i'm something quite
1479
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:17,360
different i'm the opposite of a cannibal
1480
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:19,120
at least i think i am
1481
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:20,400
but then
1482
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:22,320
one always looks at oneself quite
1483
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:24,159
differently from by the way other people
1484
01:27:24,159 --> 01:27:26,560
see you
1485
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:29,199
my friends never bring up the subject
1486
01:27:29,199 --> 01:27:31,600
not because they do it consciously
1487
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:33,040
but because that
1488
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:35,199
business of the cannibalism was such a
1489
01:27:35,199 --> 01:27:37,760
tiny part of my life it was
1490
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:39,760
didn't get
1491
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:44,800
any publicity it didn't get any uh
1492
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:47,679
and it had no effect on me in the
1493
01:27:47,679 --> 01:27:48,960
beginning
1494
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:50,639
i left because i couldn't stand the
1495
01:27:50,639 --> 01:27:52,000
concept
1496
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,159
but then i kind of dropped it out of my
1497
01:27:54,159 --> 01:27:55,280
head
1498
01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:57,120
i pushed it out of my head maybe i
1499
01:27:57,120 --> 01:28:00,239
pushed it down into my stomach somewhere
1500
01:28:00,239 --> 01:28:02,639
because that's what becomes painful that
1501
01:28:02,639 --> 01:28:05,600
part of my body
1502
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:10,000
i am a cannibal
1503
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,320
that four word sentence doesn't leave my
1504
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:13,600
head
1505
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:15,840
no matter into what far corner of my
1506
01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:17,920
mind i push those words
1507
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:20,320
they flash along the surface of my brain
1508
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,880
like news along the track that runs
1509
01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:26,000
around the building at times square
1510
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:29,280
so thoughts of death are natural now as
1511
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:31,679
love i tell myself
1512
01:28:31,679 --> 01:28:34,320

1513
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:39,480
hoping some impression will be made
1514
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:46,600
so
1515
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:02,400

i am
1526
01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:28,080
it's at this time of my life
1527
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:32,679
these trips are getting fewer and fewer
1528
01:30:43,060 --> 01:30:58,239
[Music]
1529
01:30:58,239 --> 01:31:01,040

florian novecki
1531
01:31:03,199 --> 01:31:04,719

i gave
1533
01:31:06,480 --> 01:31:07,760
two of these
1534
01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:10,159
to him and a friend
1535
01:31:10,159 --> 01:31:14,880
way back i don't know 45 46 years ago
1536
01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:16,719
and i wanted to take something back
1537
01:31:16,719 --> 01:31:18,639
almost exactly alike
1538
01:31:18,639 --> 01:31:21,600
we said here that's just
1539
01:31:22,480 --> 01:31:24,639
[Music]
1540
01:31:24,639 --> 01:31:26,960

1541
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:28,960
never expected
1542
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:31,120
and i'm not even sure i wanted it but
1543
01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:35,199
now that it's over with it's fabulous
1544
01:31:35,199 --> 01:31:36,719

01:31:36,719 --> 01:31:39,840
and i want to go to bed
1546
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:42,080
i had a little drink around an hour ago
1547
01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:45,679
and it's gone right to my head
1548
01:31:45,679 --> 01:31:50,520
to show me the way to go home
1549
01:31:57,060 --> 01:32:02,609
