THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY
Once there were two angels.
One said to the other:
This newspaper article says that a guy on Earth ...
... has discovered the secret to manufacture the Superbomb H.
Impossible! Can not be!
They are not ready yet to handle it.
If it explodes, it would make the Earth in pieces by the sky.
No one would survive.
The shortage of housing It would be tremendous here.
What do we do?
Let's communicate immediately to the main office.
In agreement. Let's go.
Outer Space convened to the High Court ...
... to decide if Humanity It was worth saving.
He was chosen as his representative a time traveler ...
... that was a compendium of all men.
Righteous and sinners, brave and cowardly,
dreamers and realists, chaste and guilty.
Of the big men and Mediocre of all times.
All represented by one man,
who would speak in his favor before the High Court.
"Whereas the creature Human of Planet Earth ...
... has discovered the secret of the Superbomb H ...
... sixty years earlier than planned,
and as Heaven knows, but not man,
that its explosion would suppose the end of humanity,
This High Court will decide ...
... if man deserves ...
... may Heaven intervene on your behalf,
preventing the pump make explosion,
or if it is unworthy ...
... and it will be allowed annihilate himself. "
Who interrupts?
Order! Order in the room!
Who interrupts the reading of the summary?
Sir, I'm Mr. Scracht ...
inventor of the Superpump H, of many talents and trades.
All perverse, of course!
And this is my disciple.
Do not be rude; that is not done here.
Forgive him, noble gentlemen.
He's accustomed to warmer climates.
Sit down.
This is a waste of time.
The man is unworthy, without a doubt,
and increase your sin provoking ...
... that Heaven summons this expensive and boring trial.
I am a very busy man.
I try to make man things my way
... for more or less a million years,
one hundred thousand down or up.
Time is money and man It does not have the patent of evil.
Regarding that bomb, that beautiful perversity,
it is the work of my life, and I have lived many years.
Why do not you leave, please, let it explode ...
... and put the end right to Earth?
The man deserves it.
I would like to leave this Earth issue.
I have to visit all the universe.
What sounds?
It's my private phone.
Sorry. Yes? Speaking
Problems on Mars?
How good!
Here it will take a little.
Nothing serious.
My acquisition is discussed of 2 or 3 billion new souls.
Order in the room!
I will call you later.
Mr. Scracht, the calls during the trial ...
... they are an improper rudeness and without precedents.
Thank you. noble sir
Go on, usher.
"And so, the High Court ...
... meets to deliberate in Outer Space ".
He could not meet in Heaven.
I protest!
Order!
Call the first witness.
Adam, get on the stand!
Ladies and gentlemen ...
Order in the room.
Who interrupts this Court?
Me, your honor. Adam is indisposed.
They will not have passed yet the effects of the apple.
Who will speak for Man?
I. I am the Spirit of Man.
It will continue in a moment.
Before I want to clarify,
both Mr. Scracht and to the Spirit of Man ...
... who can visit the Earth ...
... in any time of the world since it was created,
And they can present as evidence ...
... to people or facts what they need
While they are on Earth ...
... we will see them from here.
You can continue.
Noble gentlemen, if we are to be believers,
and I think we are,
He speaks for you.
That's what I do.
Continue And without interruptions.
Man was created in the image and likeness of God.
There the resemblance ends. We are mortal.
Of flesh, not of spirit.
Human, not divine.
But, despite our sins and defects,
We believe that good works of Man ...
... outweigh the bad ones, giving us the right to survive.
- Protest! - On what basis?
Man twists the facts.
I have not presented them yet.
Denied protest Continue
We have inherited the Earth and They gave us precious gifts.
A prehensile thumb, with the one we did ...
... weapons and tools to survive.
The ability to speak and reason.
The ability to walk erect.
We were fertile and multiplied.
We were smart, we populated the Earth and we subdued it.
This was the agreement, and we fulfill it.
And, luckily for me, you breached each of the Ten Commandments.
Order in the room.
Sorry.
Continue
At the beginning, Man I was alone...
... because I did not trust in no living being.
The enemy was the forest and what lived in it.
The important thing was to survive.
The fundamental law was kill or die.
Man lived many centuries ...
... until he discovered how make fire.
After an infinite number of scores in the dark,
He began to find answers.
He joined in groups to help each other.
He will admit that Man I began to reason.
This led him to invent the wheel, to progress.
We'd better return.
Yes right now.
Order in the room!
The trial continues.
You can continue
As you can see, noble gentlemen,
the Man began to have a social conscience
That was the beginning of his downfall.
Can I explain my theory?
I declare that Man is a charlatan and a fool.
- Protest - I assumed it.
Protest accepted
I will express it in another way.
I withdraw what Man is a charlatan and a fool ...
... and I affirm that it is a fool and a charlatan.
Protest
Mr. Scracht, there's no place.
It may be, but it is the truth.
To demonstrate what I say, I will call my first witness.
Who?
I call Khufu to the stand.
Usher, call the witness.
Khufu to the stand!
- Your name? - Khufu.
- Profession? - Pharaoh.
- Where? - In Egypt.
- When? - Five thousand years ago.
Seems like yesterday. Us We had seen before?
Yes.
Would you mind explaining it?
A long time ago, you He promised immortality.
And he believed me?
I had no reason to not believe that he would keep his word.
Tell the Court what I gave in exchange for that promise.
The souls of a million men.
Protest Not even a pharaoh can promise the Demon ...
... the souls of a million men.
That is what I want to demonstrate.
A single villain can not affect all Humanity,
unless it supports their evil.
It's what I want to try.
This man was able to give me the souls of a million men ...
... because they wanted to deliver them.
If the Court does not have a problem, I would like to go back to Earth,
to ancient Egypt, and show them how he did it.
The Court approves it.
Get down to Earth. We will be watching you.
Do you want to follow me?
I will not need this. It's your kind of climate, right?
Egypt five thousand years ago.
There is the army of Khufu,
returning from his victory about the Nubians.
A beautiful and bloody victory.
There is my witness, Khufu.
The Pharaoh. The most powerful.
The one that, according to you, He owes a million souls.
Yes. Look at them, cheering like crazy.
It is the human race, that started so well
What happened to him?
It has been lowered to be a vociferous herd,
hoarse to acclaim his hero.
Master and lord of all lands ...
... of the Upper and Lower Nile,
Lord of all existing under the sun...
... and of all the people ...
Enough. I come from far away. Let me.
Is the Great Pharaoh worried?
If much.
Interpret a dream, Aramana.
What kind of dream, Powerful sir?
I've had it seven times.
I see a palace that arrives to the stars.
Higher than it was ever seen.
Built to last an eternity.
But there were no laughs, music or celebrations.
I slept in that palace.
Descรญframe that dream, Aramana.
It explains itself, Great Pharaoh.
A palace without joy, that it will last an eternity,
it can only be the palace what awaits you ...
... when you pass this world to immortality.
I want to see it with my own eyes,
not after dead, but as long as he lives.
Is my people reunited?
The square is full.
I will talk to them...
... before we close the temples.
- Close the temples? - You've heard. Come with me.
Silence for the King-God Khufu!
From now on, everyone,
priests, free men and slaves.,
they will dedicate their lives ...
... to build my temple of immortality.
It will reach the sky. The The largest pyramid in the world.
Thousands of people will come, hundreds of thousands...
... from all corners of our land.
They will start and bring the stones ...
... from the quarries, until my pyramid of Ghizeh ...
... be the miracle of the centuries,
built for eternity with the blood of a nation.
Blood was the exact word.
That's why I say that the fault it's from man himself ...
... for his stupidity in worship villains as they were heroes.
And I affirm that the vileness of an individual ...
... is the symbol of vileness of the Humanity.
As for you,
you will have your immortality.
... together with the receipt for one million souls
Your witness.
Have you heard of your countryman Moses?
Do not.
He was not a vulgar citizen, but who lived in the house of Pharaoh.
It was about to become in member of the nobility.
But he left the splendor of the court ...
... to become a simple man of God.
Does it imply that I was not?
More than that. I declare you an atheist.
Only an atheist could agree with the Devil.
- Protest! - Do not do it.
Either admit it, or lose his immortality.
I admit it.
I would like to interrupt here and address the Man.
What do you hope to achieve with this interrogation?
The Devil argues ...
... that nobody can be so evil ...
... to affect all of humanity,
unless it encourages your vileness.
- I support that argument. - And I accept the victory.
Not so fast. This argument it is also valid in reverse.
Nobody can have enough goodness for that to affect ...
... to all Humanity, unless May it support your kindness.
The great men, and there have been many ...
Protest This is one opinion, not a fact.
Admitted
I will change the phrase.
The great men ...
... they could not have been great and good,
without Humanity will support them.
I will show that the Goodness of Man ...
... overcome their evil.
Khufu and Moisรฉs were born At the same place,
both were predestined for an equally high position.
There the similarity ends.
- I have no further questions. - The witness can be removed.
Oh by the way... Your receipt for these souls.
Silence!
I have the floor the Spirit of Man
A thousand years after Khufu,
in the same oppressive land,
touched with a fine patina of glory,
a man of God was born:
It was about Moses.
His holiness was revered and supported ...
... for a Humanity that I was looking for a better world.
Before Moses,
Man, confused, he worshiped false gods ...
... and Humanity was enslaved and subdued.
The soul of Moses is rebelled horrified.
He fled from Egypt and went to the desert.
In the skies that cover the endless moors,
He found the secret of life.
He welcomed a new God and more worthy.
And Moses returned to the land of the wicked and he freed his people,
that followed him to the desert.
Moses climbed Mount Sinai.
"I am the Lord, your God,
what has gotten you out of the land of Egypt,
of the house of slavery.
You will not worship any God more than Me.
You will not make figures in my image and similarity ... "
And, coming out of the thunder, the voice of God gave him ...
...the ten Commandments, and good prevailed.
It did not last long.
The man deviated soon of the way of Moses ...
... and broke the Ten Commandments
Remember the wars, and the violations of antiquity.
You do not have to do So much noise to scare me.
It only proved my thesis.
Take for example the Greeks and Trojans.
Blinded by madness, they fought uselessly for a woman:
Helena of Troy.
His pious story about a God and the Ten Commandments ...
... it's truly ridiculous.
The ancient civilization worshiped to hundreds of gods.
Your god of war he would die of laughter ...
... to see the face of the person who He caused a thousand boats to be launched.
The face of Helen of Troy.
Egyptians, Trojans, Greeks, Etruscans ...
All killed and died, breaking the Commandments.
It was not a matter of a few men.
All Humanity is He was wrong because he wanted to.
Do you think that those people down there ...
... I would have fought and died If I had not wanted to do it?
Sorry.
- It was not meant for you. - It's a consolation.
What does he tell me about that?
Mythology and history they mix and ...
... it's hard to separate them.
Speaking of antiquity ...
What about the Golden Age of Greece, that of the great philosophers?
Socrates and his doctrine of Universal Humanity,
that continued to influence the world two thousand years later.
His disciple, Plato,
who dedicated his life and writings to the creation of a world ...
... in which they reign Beauty, justice and love.
Aristotle, the first world scientist,
whose brilliant mind discovered the laws of logic ...
... and gave name to the sciences.
The first astronomers, whose heavenly dreams ...
... they opened a path for us of knowledge.
The great artists of antiquity.
The incomparable sculptors and his amazing works.
And, finally, Hippocrates, the father of Medicine.
What can I do, doctor? He coughs day and night without stopping.
Should I sacrifice the ox?
Sacrifice? Silly stuff!
Take your husband to the mountain...
... where you breathe air fresh and clean
He dies because the Gods are angry.
He dies because the world It is full of superstitions.
The gods do not make someone is healthy or not.
They will punish you for saying that.
Maybe, but they will not punish me with a belly pain.
It is blasphemy.
Observing the laws of the nature,
can be predicted the development of a disease.
He needs your help.
Take this poor man to the mountains.
Give him milk and honey.
I breathe. And, if I'm right, he will live.
The theories of Hippocrates they were true.
His name was in History with the Hippocratic Oath.
"In any home ...
... I will go in to help the sick.
What you hear and see in the exercise of my profession ...
... I will never divulge it. "
Every doctor worth his salt, keep this oath.
I'm sorry, Mr. Scracht.
My opponent has raised his thesis.
Do not think about my favorite proteges.
The next test, please.
Pretty, right?
It was used by a beautiful young woman ...
... which I knew intimately.
She and I worked very well together in the year 30 before Christ.
She was the queen of Egypt. Her name was Cleopatra.
Although those who do not They appreciated his talent ....
... they dared to call her "the serpent of the Nile".
Being almost adolescent, He poisoned his younger brother.
- Do you want to drink something? - Yes I would like it.
- We'll make a toast. - Thank you.
For us!
Cleopatra was a great girl.
Poison was only one of his hobbies.
The jewelry was crazy ...
... and joined with a man that he gave her jewelry ...
... and that by age could to have been his grandfather
Julius Caesar.
- Cleopatra. - Cease...
Sweetie.
Cleopatra not only conquered to Julio Cรฉsar,
He also took his bag.
Look what I found.
She did not need money,
but I practiced the art of plucking lovers.
And he had many.
Until he convinced a Roman noble ...
... to fight against your own country.
He betrayed him, sending that his galleys ...
... return to Egypt. The Roman was Marco Antonio.
Wait here.
Antonio ...
Cleopatra, why did you do Go back to your boats?
I thought the battle was lost.
The galleys scattered and fled from the enemy ...
... when the battle I was almost won.
Do not blame me. What do I know about wars?
And of love? Of our love?
If the worst happened, We swear to die together.
We are not together Now, Antonio?
We can navigate together to Alexandria.
We will continue living, dear.
Marked by shame.
With love in hearts.
My galley is very fast. They will not reach us.
Come to me, Antonio.
What have you done to me? Where did you take me?
I was the best of the Romans.
What am I now?
You are my Love.
I should have said: "You were my love",
because she thought betray him
I had made a deal with the Romans:
His life in exchange for Marco Antonio's
When he knows he is betrayed, Marco Antonio planned revenge.
From love to hate only There is a step.
So it's no wonder that he thought about killing Cleopatra.
"I was the best of the Romans."
Not enough to beat the betrayal of a woman.
What black thoughts of revenge invade you?
Cleopatra ...
The sacrifice of Marco Antonio was useless ...
... because Cleopatra suffered his same destiny.
Suicide not only It was fashionable, but ...
... it became necessary when Romans betrayed her.
Talking about suicides and murders,
remembering my protected to those that the Man supported,
let's not forget Nero, one of my best disciples.
This is the court of Nero. His amorality and perversion ...
... surpassed dreams of the most depraved.
And this is Nero.
Breastfed with the poison of a witch,
vitiated by countless orgies, and possessed of crazy violence,
he organized the suicide of most of his friends,
He beat his mother to death ...
... and poisoned many people. Those were his diversions.
It does not amuse me and to Humanity either.
You are wrong. Look how they enjoy.
I do not see that they get bored.
Let the wine run tonight ...
... in which Nero celebrates Your greatest triumph
Hail, Nero!
If you accompany me to the balcony, You will see your greatest madness.
I do not need more evidence of Nero's madness.
It was just a moment of madness in History.
I will show the madness of all Humanity.
Did I indicate the way?
Nero!
A lovely guy that Nero.
It burns, my glorious Rome ...
... until you get to heaven.
Let Jupiter know who is the best.
You or I!
Murderer, maniac, rapist, pervert, matricida,
incendiary, bigamist ...
... and, occasionally, highlighted musician and singer.
That was Nero. His depravity and madness ...
... it would not have been possible ...
... if Humanity does not I would have accepted willingly.
- He accepted it? - It did not?
No. Listen to the other voices that were heard in Rome that night,
in the secret depth of the catacombs,
repeating words of salvation ...
... pronounced only 30 years ago.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
because of them is the Kingdom of Heaven ".
"Blessed are those who suffer,
because they will be comforted. "
"Blessed are the humble,
because they will inherit the earth. "
The soldiers are coming. Let's run away!
Did the Master flee when he They took him to Mount Golgotha?
The words of the Master they will die with us.
The words will last, surviving martyrdom ...
... until peace, faith and love reign in the world.
They are already here. Let's pray for help.
No, let's give thanks.
Because the Master said:
Blessed are the persecuted for your kindness,
because of them is the Kingdom of Heaven.
"Our Father who are in the heavens, "
"Hallowed be thy name."
"Let your kingdom come."
"Thy will be done..."
Come with us, Christians.
Your prayers have not served a lot, right?
Yes, they served. They brought hope ...
... to a world where this one had died.
Humanity sought the light.
And only the darkness achieved.
Darkness and Attila, the Hun.
Attila crossed the known world,
destroying everything achieved in thousands of years of progress.
He burned and looted,
trampling with their hordes the cross and the sword.
Knowledge, Medicine, the Arts and Sciences.
Hundreds of years of obscurantism ...
... until there was no more what misery, fire and blood.
Yes it's correct; half of The world population.
But civilization did not die. Survived the years ...
... of desolation, ignorance and brutality ...
... and, little by little, it was recovering strength.
The legends were born:
King Arthur and his knights,
the saga of the glorious Search for the Holy Grail ...
True or false, they demonstrate that faith was not forgotten.
Long before the knights errant,
the monks preached from town in town the word of God,
keeping on the torch of faith.
Strange creature the Man.
It continues to exist despite of his sinful stupidity.
Fight and die for your faith,
be it his deity, the God of the Jews,
the Holy Trinity, Luminous preaching of Buddha,
or Allah, whose prophet was Muhammad.
As in all wars, nobody won.
The gentlemen returned to Italy, to Germany,
to France and England ...
... and they had fun with tournaments and jousts.
Maybe it was not always fun.
After hundreds of years of anarchy,
Man recovers the basic principles ...
... of legality, in Runnymede, England.
The barons forced the king Juan to sign "The Magna Carta",
Cornerstone of the Law and Civic Freedoms.
The king signed it, but against your will.
Once again, the Man discovered human rights.
Yes? And what does it say of Joan of Arc?
His story was the of the triumph of faith.
The triumph of criminal cruelty.
Human rights?
Let's see what the Humanity with that woman.
Those Joan's voices were too persistent to silence them.
Can you hear me, Joan?
I'm San Miguel.
Your country needs you.
Go see Prince Charles.
Tell him that you will command his army In the name of God...
... and you will break the siege of Orleans.
You will save France.
Prince Charles believed his story and gave him the command of the army.
The effect was surprising.
The fame of his courage He ran like fire,
returning the value to a defeated nation.
The people grouped under the banner of Juana.
They left all corners of France.
From each vineyard, from each village,
willing to violence.
You will raise the siege of Orleans!
You will save France, attacking.
We will win if we attack. Let's attack!
God is with us.
Juana won in Orleans, and, thanks to that,
Prince Charles was crowned King of France two months later.
Juana continued directing her armies for freedom.
He had courage and faith,
but in Burgundy they arrested her.
Notice how he was rewarded.
It was judged in the Castle of Rouen.
The court sentenced her before judging it.
Burn her once! Let's finish this trial!
My daughter.
Repent.
The patience of court is over.
Repent and deny that you have heard voices
It's that "yes" that spoke to me!
The voice can not be denied sacred of San Miguel.
Other voices also spoke to me.
I will not deny my voices.
Liar!
How dare you blaspheme before the Bishop of Beauvais?
What a story! Witch! Heretic! It lies and you have to burn it.
Heretic! Liar!
Where is San Miguel now?
Answer us, Maid of Orleans.
I can not give you orders. He comes by his will.
But I would be ashamed that came ...
... and I saw how bad you treat me.
Are we treating you badly?
Bad and without any respect. Your offer is ridiculous.
If I deny that my voices come from God,
You offer me jail.
If I insist that my voices are divine,
You will burn me at the stake.
The two alternatives are painful.
One short, the other endless.
Is there no other option?
Will not anyone help me?
No one. Not even the Dolphin can help you,
I would not do it, if I could.
Charles!
Prince carlos!
Do you also abandon me?
I do not have anyone left?
Blessed Saint Michael!
Do you also reject me?
Poor Joan, burned at the stake.
The truths he said They had no value.
The bonfire was symbol of the greed of Man.
Of his selfishness and, above of everything, of his lack of faith.
Are you still thinking that I should not have to mention Juana?
I believe that, speaking of guilt or innocence of Humanity,
the story of Joan of Arc ...
... is a condemnation of the entire Middle Ages.
Of all the Middle Ages, no.
The incident of Juana of Arco was tragic,
but at the same time, Man and his art,
his religion, medicine and philosophy, they came back to life.
The Renaissance. With the permission of the Court,
There will be something here that will help me.
Protest
The protest is left in abeyance.
Thank you very much, Your Honor.
This huge flow of Expression swept all of Europe.
The classic writings of Dante, Boccaccio and Petrarca ...
... they inaugurated a new It was literary.
The magnificent architecture emerged of the Lombards,
the fascinating art of Titian and Miguel Angel ...
... and free thinking, so beautifully expressed ...
... by Telesio, Machiavelli and Campanella.
The printed word, at the disposition of the people ...
... thanks to the invention from the printing press,
it was a great contribution to human self-affirmation.
The protest is denied. Continue
Noble gentlemen, I submit your consideration ...
... the miraculous recovery of Humanity ...
... after misery, the I hate, the prudery ...
... and the massacres of the dark years.
As an example of those times ...
I propose a man.
Your name: Leonardo da Vinci.
He had many professions.
Painter sculptor, inventor, engineer ...
Experimented with balloons and flying machines,
drained the swamps of Lombardy ...
... and expressed his joy for all the things of Heaven and Earth ...
... in prose, in painting and in sculpture.
A man of great intellect.
Praised in his time and in the later ones.
This is one of his works of most famous art:
"The Mona Lisa". It's beautiful, right?
Passable.
Your problem is that He knows nothing about painting.
I do not pretend to be an art expert.
And this is one of the paintings most beautiful in the world:
"The Last Supper."
People able to follow the path opened by Da Vinci ...
... deserves to survive.
- Protest - Based on what?
No mention has been made of Motivations of Humanity.
Leonardo was glorified,
but not because of his holiness ...
... but to establish the diabolical bases ...
... of a volcanic future.
As evidence, listen to fragment of this letter ...
... that he wrote to the Duke of Milan, praising themselves for their own achievements.
- It is accepted. - The letter please.
"Very illustrious sir, having seen the evidence ...
... from the expert inventors of war machines,
I have dared to write To His Excellency ...
... to inform you of my secrets.
I have plans to make a cannon ...
... easy to transport ...
... and to build attack engines.
I can make vehicles armored and catapults.
I have plans to destroy any fortification. "
The tests, please.
As additional proof,
All this was done by Da Vinci.
All the warmongers ...
... they owe gratitude to Leonardo for these inventions ...
... that laid the foundations of the machine gun and the tank.
Can you praise the Humanity for deifying ...
... whom he glimpsed the atomic destruction?
Can you answer me that?
Mr. Scracht, do not give the genius anymore merits of what he had.
He was a kind man and a great thinker.
I hated violence and war,
but he fought his diabolical stratagems.
Can you deny the influence exerted ...
... about adventurers like Cristรณbal Colรณn?
The ship sailed from Spain to the east...
... and, after a long trip, He arrived in the Indies.
Suppose it were possible to reach the Indies ...
... sailing west in place to do it to the East ...
... and that the route was more short and direct.
- Impossible! Impossible! - Why?
I will tell you why. Only crazy people They would sail under your command.
You would arrive at the end of the world and you would fall into a black abyss.
The ship is over.
Suppose you do not know the world ends Look.
Here is Spain and here the Indies.
Traveling to the West,
going around the world,
we would arrive in the Indies in half the time.
It's possible. Good. Good.
The orange became on earth...
... and the lonely ship in a great expedition.
The adventurous spirit of Columbus discovered a new territory ...
... as big as half of the known world.
Columbus opened the way and Humanity followed him.
For what purposes? Murder, pillage, rape?
Remember my noble colleague what happened ...
... at 30 years of age Columbus taught ...
... to the kind Humanity the path of the New World?
Remember the killing of Aztec by Cortรฉs?
This violence of bloodthirsty Hernรกn Cortรฉs ...
... it was one of my greatest achievements.
The killings were endless, but delicious.
Is this a glorious way towards a better world?
The killings were interrupted because other countries ...
... they did not share those methods of brutal submission.
One day, the ambassador of King Felipe from Spain arrived in London ...
... to bring an ultimatum to the Queen Elizabeth of England.
There were no cheers for the Spanish envoy,
but for his English escort.
It seems that England and Spain They were not very friendly.
"Your Excellency the Ambassador ...
... from the court of Su Muy Catholic Majesty ...
... King Philip II of Spain.
We'll see that handsome Spaniard.
Majesty.
The King has been very tolerant.
There is no nation that can face Spain
But your little country it causes us continuously.
You help the rebels in the Netherlands.
Our American domains they are attacked by your pirates.
Pirates, sir?
I mean your captains Drake, Frobisher, Grenville ...
Those captains sail on behalf of England!
Well, order them to retire to English waters.
The oceans belong to Spain.
Like the Americas they belong to Spain.
Is that what you are saying?
They are ours by right of conquest.
Have you conquered also the fish of the sea?
I see that His Majesty jokes.
No, Sire. I'm not kidding.
Speaking for my little one England,
base port of pirates and buccaneers,
I say that the seas they must be free ...
... so that all nations Navigate and trade in peace.
Tell your king ...
... that I will not order my captains who retire.
My message is very clear.
Adhere to the wishes of King Felipe of Spain ...
... if you do not want to face an army so powerful ...
... never saw another like it.
We will fight with swords and with fire until your little ...
... England is nothing more than a vassal state of Spain.
Withdraw those words!
I speak on behalf of my King.
Your is the choice: Peace or war.
I look forward to your answer.
Leave me alone.
Where is that actor-poet What have you brought to my Court?
William Shakespeare to your service, Majesty.
If you prefer that I retire ...
Backing out? It is what Spain intends to do.
Hide my head in the shell like a snail.
These are matters of been, lady.
I am not more than a humble actor.
And a good writer, for what they tell me.
Forgive me.
I have so many things to think about.
Read something to me Maybe help me
I have a new comedy here.
I have titled it: "The Taming of the Shrew".
"The Taming of the Shrew"?
Am I the fierce?
Will the King tame me Felipe from Spain?
I did not write it thinking in political affairs.
Of course not.
Master Shakespeare ...
... Our country is in a crossroads ...
... and I must decide which way to take.
England may fall, Master Shakespeare.
Also Spain, lady.
You are right! Yes, you are right!
And you are brave.
Read me something else.
Something that instills value in my heart.
"England never lies nor will lie ...
... at the feet of no conqueror. "
If that is! There's no more?
"Come armed with the confines of the world,
we will crush them.
Nothing will make us cry ...
... as long as England it stays...
... true to herself. "
Great! Great!
You have given me the answer.
And the answer was to fight.
The Spanish Navy left against England ...
... and his defeat changed History.
When the power of Spain,
the seas remained free of his domain.
And this freedom allowed ...
... a peaceful colonization of the New World.
The settlers who arrived to Jamestown in 1607,
under the command of the captain John Smith, they were ...
... farmers and merchants,
no pirates or murderers. They were men of honor.
They cleaned the forests and they built homes.
This was Humanity.
What a beautiful panorama! Inaccurate, but beautiful.
From what peaceful colonization of the New World speaks to me?
Why do not you mention the Theft of Indian territories?
What men of honor speak to me?
Does not say anything of the frightful crime of slavery?
It does not seem like any of this ...
... has given him a glow to the aura of Humanity.
I do not find in his speech Nothing funny, Mr. Scracht.
Sorry sir.
I remembered another way to crown with haloes.
Do not drink it. It's a test.
Mr. Scracht, it's not allowed drink in this court.
A thousand pardons, sir.
I had no intention to drink it
I only intend to illustrate my presentation
Continue
If my memory does not fail,
up to own Humanity doubted ...
... of the beatitude in the Elizabethan period ...
... of the adventure of The new World.
Sir Walter Raleigh, poet, explorer and marine,
whose courage helped conquer the New World,
he was beheaded for his noble efforts.
What a form of show gratitude!
He has a macabre sense of humor. Do you laugh at the sad fate of Sir Walter?
I found it funny.
Like what happened before of losing your head ...
... at the court of Queen Elizabeth.
His way of smoking in pipe scandalized royalty.
Sir Walter Raleigh!
Sir Walter, it's burning!
What a reward for helping to colonize the New World!
The head of Sir Walter He endured a great punishment.
They watered it with beer and then they cut it.
What world is this in the that is rewarded ...
... a discovery with a bath of beer and a beheading?
Allows a man enslave his brother,
steal the earth and kill its rightful owners,
or stripping them of your possessions.
This reminds me of a certain Commercial transaction...
... related to these trinkets.
It was not a benevolent gesture of humanity.
Do you remember the story of the Isle of Manhattan?
Peter Minuit and the Indians?
Jao! (interpreted as "How" = "How")
Three minutes spent on water and then leave them in the shell.
What?
- No what". "How". - Ah!
35 dollars. Not a penny less.
If it is only an island.
If I need money, you do not buy or for 50.
Not for 100.
Responded from one in one please.
- Twenty dollars, not a penny more. - Thirty. Not a penny less.
Let's forget about this business.
No, witcher says I'm sick.
I sick, I go to the West.
It's crazy It's full of Indians.
They could kill him. I will go up my offer for 22 dollars.
26 dollars for the Island of Manhattan.
Let's have a drink and let's forget about all this.
No, witch tell me: Do not drink, do not smoke.
- Neither drink nor smoke? - Do not.
- What about women? - No women.
- And that, what? - Be my daughter, not be a woman.
That's what he will say. Let's see if I understood it:
You can not drink, neither smoking, nor going with women.
No. No women.
So, why Do you want 26 dollars?
Get another doctor and enjoy life.
This is my last offer: 24 dollars.
A theft. White man steal the poor Indian,
Do you think it's a robbery?
If it had been in 300 years,
They could have cleaned him in the Stock Exchange.
We close the deal, or what?
A theft.
Yes, but do we close the deal?
- Done deal. - Well, boss.
"Water that laughs", turn around.
Do you enjoy it?
What do you do?
A check for 24 dollars.
What is check?
It is a promise of payment.
I do not want to promise. I want money.
I can not walk with that amount over.
What do you think if I pay you with merchandise?
What is merchandise?
This is merchandise.
Valuable jewels "Down the Swanee River ..."
- River... - You should dedicate yourself to the theater.
Accept treatment.
I need the labels to my tax declaration.
They are very valuable.
- Valuable labels? - Of course.
I carry labels. You take jewelry. Boss, not stupid.
No wonder you are the boss.
With his brain, man White has nothing to do.
Jao! (interpreted as "How" = "How")
Three minutes spent on water and then leave them in the shell.
"Water that laughs", come. We go West.
- "Down the Swanee River ..." - "River".
White man does not be silly either.
The Isle of Manhattan snatched from the Indians ...
... in exchange for 24 miserable dollars.
Go steal! And History He did not tell everything.
Minuit stayed with the island and with the Indian woman.
Thanks to Governor Minuit and others of his ilk,
the invasion of America was going fast.
Did the clean airs influence? of the New World ...
... in the way of thinking of The humanity? No way.
Remember the trial of witches of Salem?
My boys and my girls They worked a lot.
And his cousins โโof the Old World They did not behave worse.
They still liked to live in filth,
and that caused diseases.
Yes, the plague.
England, spring of 1665.
In London the mortality It was one in six.
Entire families perished behind the doors of their homes.
At night they circulated the wagons of death.
And it was not Humanity The guilty...
... for not learning that "El cleanliness approaches holiness "?
It was not my job to teach them.
If it is not because of the fire Pudding Lane, London,
the plague would have ended with the whole population of England.
The fire consumed churches, prisons, bridges, homes ...
... and, in spite of myself, also the foci of the epidemic.
But I was busy in other matters.
Not when he left Earth It improved the human race.
The seas were so insecure as a hundred years before.
Some of my disciples they stirred them up conscientiously.
They were good times!
Approaches, fires, piracy, executions.
Believe me, in villany without mitigating,
the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries they set a record.
We also have the other face of the coin.
The great discoveries, some casual
Let me show you.
Maybe the discovery of the law of gravity ...
... it will be more painful that They said for Isaac Newton.
The idea came to him walking for its field of apple trees.
Newton was not too fond of apples,
but they almost made up for it what they had done with Adam.
Although it was a painful experience,
that showed him that everything rise must go down again.
Even if it's just a vulgar apple.
And remember that happened much earlier that apple sauce was invented.
Whether this is true or false, the history of Newton ...
... showed the meaning of humor of the Humanity.
And just as Science was advancing, Music and Medicine,
so did the thoughts of man
The American Revolution It is a good example of this.
It started with a unjust tax ...
... and shows that, despite the protests of Mr. Scracht,
you can not dominate the Humanity for a long time.
And that under the shackles, the heroes emerge.
Paul Revere was one of those who ...
... led the revolt against tyranny.
George Washington It was another giant ...
... that illuminated the path for other great men, like ...
... Thomas Jeffferson, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams.
They recognized that "all Men are the same "...
... and that, if a government destroy these principles,
the people have the right to dismiss it and change it for another.
Mr. Scracht ... Mr. Scracht!
Where we are? What is this?
The man taking off the yoke of oppression.
And showing that he craves have freedom of spirit.
Freedom of spirit? Mass murders, pillage, blood,
protected by the spirit of freedom.
- I have not said that. - I do not censor him.
I like that blood is spilled, and not all revolutions ...
... they were as moderate as the American Revolution.
Consider France, 13 years later
It did not seem like I was bankrupt.
The courtiers laughed and they made love.
Especially in the salons of Queen Marie Antoinette.
They say that the peat heads to Versailles.
A very long walk.
Thousands of them carry scythes.
So they will cut straw when the sun shines.
The army will liquidate them.
What a pity, considering the lack of service!
And what do those poor creatures want?
They protest because they do not have bread.
Do not have bread? Well, eat cakes.
That sharpness ran all over the world ...
... and it cost the poor Marie Antoinette...
... his pretty little head.
But it was not the only one that fell.
Humanity was disturbed, ready for a blood bath ...
... known as "The Reign of Terror".
How that guillotine worked!
At a rate of up to a thousand heads per month.
But, to my regret, the Revolution ended.
I suppose, in part, because they ran out of visible heads ...
... and partly by the wars that France maintained ...
... against England, Spain, Prussia and Austria.
In Toulon, in the South of France, neither Much was done for peace.
The English ships destroyed much of the French fleet.
He saved the situation of the French ...
... a young gunner officer with its brilliant tactics.
He ascended from captain to general in a few weeks ...
... and was recognized as a military genius ,.
But Humanity is selfish, and the young general ...
... I wanted more than the cheers from his countrymen.
Napoleon Bonaparte I wanted ... the world.
One night of the year 1796,
It seemed like I was going to get it.
Bored, Napoleon?
Josefina, I was waiting for you.
You will be the first to know.
- Did they give you the command? - Yes
How glad I am!
Thanks to you.
Your influence has made it possible.
And your ability has not had nothing to do?
I appreciate what you tell me.
But even the most man Great, they need help.
The lack of perception does not It is one of my faults.
Nor modesty one of your virtues.
I'm glad for you.
You will guide our armies until Italy and you will win.
Yes, I will win.
For greater glory of France.
For greater glory of France.
What are you thinking about?
In the future.
Listen to that music.
The anthem of France.
One day it could be the anthem of the United States of Europe.
Italy, Prussia, Austria, Spain ...
Yes. Russia and England too.
All under the same banner.
And you as commander in chief.
There is a higher degree.
Which one?
Emperor.
No. We made a revolution in favor of freedom and equality.
Our nation will not give up on this.
Our nation is composed of the people who inhabit it.
The people are manageable.
A king has to be born king.
But an emperor can be chosen.
Only if the people want it.
You're right.
A man has the importance that people give him.
I will go up to the stars, if the world holds the ladder.
I'm afraid for you
Do not do it.
I know exactly where I'm going.
Napoleon finished as all despots.
Humanity proved the blood, it disgusted him ...
... and got up again ...
... ending that path tortuous.
Napoleon tried to reach the stars,
but it burned like a meteor ...
... and Humanity exiled him.
Again the men They corrected their mistake.
It was not so. With a hand you destroyed Napoleon ...
and with the other you animated the fire ...
... of many wars.
England against the United States,
Spain against South America, Russia against Turkey,
England against France, Italy and France against Austria.
Those who believed in the freedom of the seas ...
... they paid a high price for his audacity.
That price was, sometimes, life.
For this man was put on earth?
Not even colonization of the New World,
that he has described in praiseworthy terms,
It can be considered as a Sunday excursion.
The red skin fought for your survival
The white man he took his lands, which were ...
... a "gift from the Lord", using the most rude methods.
Very disconcerting, is not it?
The whites did not just use his tricks with the Indians,
but they turned against your own neighbors.
The gold rush was added to greed and murder!
Until nature rebelled ...
... and shouted enraged, trying end with humanity.
Gold. I pray to tempt man.
But nature does not He got his purpose.
What now, gentlemen?
Do you want more examples? The red book, please.
Excuse me I have it here, by hand. Let's see.
What do they tell me about years 1861 to 1865?
The American Civil War. Did it work for something?
At least from there Something big came up.
Something big, huh?
I do not say no.
Brother against brother, father against son.
Three quarters of a million dead.
I'm not complaining, but in what benefits to humanity?
I'll tell you, Mr. Scracht.
He achieved a new way of life.
Condemns the actions of Abraham Lincoln?
Even the Act of Emancipation of the slaves?
... And now the proclamation.
"That the first day of January ...
... of the year of the Lord of 1863,
all the slaves that reside in the States ...
... or in parts of these ...
... that are in rebellion against the United States,
will be forward, and forever, free. "
Do not you think something big?
Do you also condemn the great composers ...
... whose music delighted to the world?
Beethoven, Brahms, Verdi.
And to the achievements of the great inventors?
Like Alexander Graham Bell, who gave us the phone.
Mr. Watson, come here. I need him
Have you heard me?
Thomas Edison, the magician from Menlo Park, New Jersey,
the man who turned night into day.
The development of the gasoline engine,
who put wheels to the world,
some of them punctured,
against our four-legged friends ...
... whose cousin was the Iron horse.
Accuses the Wright brothers ...
... that they allowed us fly like the birds?
Were those feats insignificant?
With the future of Humanity in the balance,
Will we forget the progress of the last 150 years?
- With the permission. - Mr. Scracht ...
Talk about the last 150 years.
I say that never in history ...
... man has reached so much stupidity, greed,
immorality and pride as in these 150 years.
I will prove it to you. It's all here.
Man freed the slaves, but what's ...
... of the slaves who they worshiped the god of war?
The god that killed more than eight million men ...
... in the First World War.
There were also consolations.
My opponent has spoken of the music.
Of course there was music.
A new rhythm that went up the blood pressure.
The world danced after from the war...
... in the happy twenties and thirties.
They did not know that one of my greatest creations ...
... was about to emerge.
"Today I released the Rhine territories.
It's my last territorial demand. "
"HITLER INVADE FRANCE"
"Today I invade France.
This is my last territorial demand ".
"HITLER INVADE RUSSIA"
"Today I invade Russia.
This is my last demand territorial".
"JAPAN BOMBARDEA PEARL HARBOR "
The world followed "dancing" another war ...
...With a song murderous in the heart,
to the rhythm of the blades of the propellers.
This benevolent Humanity used the plane ...
... to give me one of my most spectacular triumphs
Order in this final session.
The Court will hear now the final summaries ...
... and will determine if it is allowed The explosion...
... of the superbomba H on planet Earth...
... provoking the end of Humanity ...
... or if this hecatomb is prevented, allowing him to live.
First, he will speak Spirit of Man
The summaries will be brief.
Many have been said words in this Court.
Some with anger, others in moderation.
Despite these words, I sincerely believe ...
... that, through the times, the soul of Man ...
... sometimes strayed, has survived the deception ...
... and has been reoriented, thanks to his moral strength.
My colleague, Mr. Scracht,
He has defamed all of Humanity.
He does his job well; he has been his only occupation ...
... for a million years.
He is an expert in promoting the weaknesses of Man
However, Man it recovers...
... and it emerges stronger and more capable than before.
They have already presented all the facts ...
... and, despite my opponent,
you will have valued them correctly.
However, the last witness is missing.
And I, with your permission, I would like to call him ...
... instead of doing my summary.
This procedure is very irregular.
The case itself is irregular.
How your decision will affect for the whole eternity,
I do not think it's abusive that Access this request.
- Petition granted. - Thank you, my lord.
This is my last witness:
The man of tomorrow.
If there is not a tomorrow, nor men of tomorrow,
all the yesterdays They lack meaning.
All the sacrifice, faith and the progress ...
... of Humanity will be without reward.
And the world of evil, chaired for the Devil, he will triumph.
If you look for kindness, Let there be a tomorrow.
I have to announce something.
The opposing armies on planet Earth...
... have started to move forward.
And, according to the fate of time,
the bomb H will explode at eleven o'clock.
Watch the big clock from outer space.
When it's 11, the bomb will explode ....
... ending with humanity, unless...
... let's decide that the pump should not burst ...
... and that Humanity survives.
Therefore, make a brief summary.
We have to decide before 11.
Speak, Mr. Scracht.
My colleague bases his defense in the man of tomorrow.
It seems to recognize that The humanity...
... deserves to be annihilated by the superbomba H.
Weak and sentimental, as all Humanity.
Believe that with a sentimental trick ...
... will win mercy of this Court.
A last and pathetic witness: a child.
I accept the challenge...
... and I will use, as a summary final, to the witness ...
... who plays innocently With their toys.
This is hope of Humanity,
Hope for peace and virtue.
Have you noticed their toys?
A pistol and a sword.
Lordship!
- Would you let me? - Please.
I ask you to examine toys.
With the permission of the Court.
The weapon only shoots music. Listen.
I protest! It is sinister.
Denied protest
And the sword is a box of pencils.
With the permission
There is a test that has not been shown:
The Bible.
I ask that it be accepted as evidence.
I protest!
Let the Bible be admitted as proof.
I will read a sentence first.
I protest! That book does not It can affect the result.
Denied protest Continue
"The evil ones work with the lie ".
"He who sows goodness, It will have its reward. "
Gentlemen, the case is exposed.
Sirs...
... in the case of "The story of Humanity ",
this court has weighed ...
... the good and the bad of Man ...
... and determines what is as good as bad.
His holiness has been equaled by its cruelty ...
... and its nobility for its lack of faith.
The balance is too much balanced ...
... to decide if we should end with humanity ...
... or assure you an eternal life.
Therefore, we reserve our verdict.
Man will have time to put your house in order.
Listen carefully, time flies...
... and the destiny of Man It is in your own hands.
For the evil ones that you support, and for the heroes you believe in ...
... you will achieve eternal life or annihilation.
This High Court of Outer space...
... will meet again ...
... to determine finally if Humanity keeps going ...
... or it will be destroyed by the superbomba H.
The option is in your hands.
