Translation alakirti

2
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:02,631
Now.

3
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:06,038
It's time!

4
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,879
You are here? Rick?

5
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,156
Calm down...
Okay, Rick!

6
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:22,390
...can you wake up earlier?

7
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,433
Did you fall asleep?
- Yes.

8
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:27,959
Away with the sounds!

9
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,708
This doesn't make sense.
- Were you sleeping or just pretending?

10
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,757
I think you fell asleep.

11
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,797
Do you know what I would like...?

12
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,758
This is a waste of time!
Working all day for nothing!

13
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,239
Come on, one more time!

14
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,356
Wake up earlier, please.

15
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,716
Here we are: once again.
- Of course... Once again!

16
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,354
Are you ready?

17
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,792
Don't get too close.
- I can't see from here.

18
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,791
Okay, that's good.

19
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,629
The answering machine answers
phone call by Rick de Leeuw.

20
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,552
I'm not here now...
- Yes, there are.

21
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,870
Wait, I think he can hear us...

22
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,355
Rick! Rick!

23
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,236
Rick!
- I arrive!

24
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:13,838
Now I'm not here, let...
- Yes. De Leeuw is here!

25
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,749
It's Rick speaking.

26
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,794
No, it's me.

27
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,989
There's no need to...

28
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,432
What time is it?

29
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,279
It's 9:45!

30
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,112
I dress. I'm coming... wait!

31
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,990
Shit! 9:45!

32
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,875
The Sea that Thinks

33
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,996
...An empty shape that
simulates and imitates emotions.

34
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,753
I felt good just to
look out the window...

35
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:30,717
I thought if it was possible to film
so, it would have been like opening your eyes...

36
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,359
sometimes. Just to look,
without wanting to prove anything.
-Tokyo-Ga -Win Wenders-

37
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:49,038
At the bottom of the next page,
Pooh was walking around...

38
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,590
...around, in a circle...

39
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,479
...with a problem.
- What are you doing, Pooh?

40
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,079
I'm chasing something...
- Chasing what?

41
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,149
This is what I'm wondering.
What? - The tracks?

42
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,560
Do you want to see it?
- Yes.

43
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,790
Thought is the skin of milk.
- This is it...

44
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,273
We live in a circus of illusions
that we ourselves created.

45
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,793
We believe in them so firmly that
we can't see that they are illusions...

46
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:37,317
In short: to be someone, an "I",
the whole idea is an illusion.

47
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,273
I think.

48
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,476
If I say: try not to
think of a cloud...

49
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,871
Impossible. Immediately
think of a cloud.

50
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:56,550
The same happens with all ideas
about yourself, who and what you are.

51
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,318
If I tell you:
Abandon all these ideas...

52
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,995
...make the screen your own
head empty and clean...

53
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,157
...try not to be
someone, an "I"...

54
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,756
You can't do it...

55
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,394
...because when you try,
you are looking for someone.

56
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:29,194
Touching a table, we don't feel the table,
but what happens inside the finger.

57
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,998
We feel.

58
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,994
You do not listen to me, but to
the vibrations in your ear.

59
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,995
We hear our own listening.

60
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:47,276
If we look outside, we don't see what
there is outside, but the image in our brain.

61
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,397
The world just exists
in our heads.

62
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,353
And there's more:

63
00:07:54,520 --> 00:08:01,153
Everything is possible for our eyes,
but our brain says it's impossible.

64
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,598
Create ideas about what we see,
about what we think we see.

65
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,389
But also about what
we think we are.

66
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:10,955
No balloons?

67
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,678
Can I ask you something?
- Certainly.

68
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,276
We are from the TV show Antenna.
- I know him.

69
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,112
What are you?
- A student.

70
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,388
I asked what you are,
not what you do.

71
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,193
I think about life.

72
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,992
I asked what you are,
not what you think.

73
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,198
This is a difficult question.

74
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,436
What are you?
- A man.

75
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,679
I didn't ask for sex.
I asked what you are.

76
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,593
Handsome...?

77
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,709
Can I ask you something?
Just one question.

78
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,074
What are you?

79
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,710
What are they? An individual.

80
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,909
What are you?
- I could say I'm a window cleaner.

81
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,035
I didn't ask what you do,
but what you are.

82
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,437
I am an individual
of our time.

83
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,396
That's all I know.

84
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,156
It's not who you are,
but what you think.

85
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,838
Once upon a time there was a sea.

86
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:33,917
A sea that lived happily in a perfect
and natural state of humidity and waves.

87
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:40,997
One morning, out of the blue,
the sea thought it was a tree.

88
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:46,075
This idea lasted forever.

89
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,550
The sea was no longer happy.

90
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,472
What am I?

91
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,952
I'm a sad guy.

92
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,188
What do you want to say? Look at me,
I am what I am.

93
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:01,791
You didn't ask me where I'm from.

94
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,234
What are they?

95
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,593
I'm myself, aren't I?

96
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,792
It's holiday time.

97
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,349
Like every year,
swimming in this sea.

98
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,795
When I dive,
the sea asks me:

99
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:21,149
"Dude, you've known me for a long time.
I'm a big tree, but something's wrong.

100
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:28,077
What do I have to do to be happy like
when you first swam in me"?

101
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,474
What the sea should do
to become water again?

102
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:38,154
"Nothing, of course," I replied.

103
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,271
"Just let go of the illusion
that you are a tree."

104
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,198
Not what you think,
but what you are.

105
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,990
What should I say next?

106
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,309
Christ almighty!
Explain it clearly!

107
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,598
This man is in a hurry.

108
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,433
This man has more time.
Can I ask you something?

109
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,109
Another time...

110
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,719
What are you?

111
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:09,629
A person.

112
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,032
No, to the third question
you have to say "catholic"

113
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,397
And maybe keep the
higher ice cream...

114
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:19,835
Repeat the question.
Okay... Let's proceed.

115
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,436
I want to ask you something
for the TV show Antenna.

116
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,239
What are you?
- I'm Catholic.

117
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,837
No, stop. Not right away.
After the other two questions...

118
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,797
Good! In an hour...

119
00:11:35,098 --> 00:11:36,698
I knew that for a while
we could be happy

120
00:11:36,699 --> 00:11:38,999
Because then you do it, if you know
what world is this about?

121
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,900
I thought it was like on TV.
- What do you want to say?

122
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,159
I don't like!

123
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,230
Yesterday over 60 people stayed
injured in a pile-up...

124
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,873
Yesterday over 60 people stayed
injured in a pile-up...

125
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,594
The street is known for
be very dangerous.

126
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,154
But an expert declared that the accident
It has no relation to road safety...

127
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,148
After all this, the authorities
they are investigating the safety now.

128
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,315
Erwin, we are safe here, or it would be
much better to skate out there?

129
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,516
I prefer a sled!

130
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,878
Is this real?

131
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,874
Or is it fake?
- Tape: still running!

132
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,594
And the car accident?

133
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,710
And all those interviews on the street?

134
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,950
Do I see what I think?

135
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,515
What do I think?

136
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,596
Our dream is real
while we dream it?

137
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,752
How we are deceived
from our thoughts?

138
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:06,155
We always say, “I am me, a man, a woman
a person, father of two children, a painter..."

139
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,593
But these are ideas.

140
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,313
And what we are cannot
be an idea or thought.

141
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:19,273
Because if we were a thought,
we would walk away with the thought.

142
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,352
The phone rings and...
the thought is gone.

143
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,636
But we are still here.

144
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,671
It's not ours, it's on TV.

145
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,960
We are something that
we cannot express.

146
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,113
Because everything you can
saying about ourselves is a thought.

147
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,713
A coffee?
- Good idea.

148
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,188
Peter... Hi Rick!

149
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,358
Let's try to imagine one
empty space, a desert...

150
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,310
A thought arises now.

151
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,431
A bowl of Chinese tea.

152
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,519
This bowl, this
thought disappears.

153
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:16,037
Another thought
arises: a candlestick.

154
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,590
It exists for a moment
and then it vanishes.

155
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,672
Then a gold-colored car.

156
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:23,989
Etc, etc...

157
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:30,392
We can see these thoughts as buildings
in the desert, built and then demolished.

158
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,599
Thoughts come and go.
Buildings appear and disappear.

159
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,349
The emptiness of the desert is one
good analogy of what we are.

160
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,919
But what happens?
A thought arises in us, of the type:

161
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:52,871
“Okay, I am apparently
this stretch of desert without buildings."

162
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,638
But from the moment this arises
thought, the building is there.

163
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,314
And the desert is no longer empty.

164
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,116
So we never can
think about what we are.

165
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:12,757
Yet we can somehow see
that thoughts appear and disappear.

166
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:18,513
We can see the images that appear
in us. We can see what we think.

167
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,032
And what is the image that often
appears in our heads?

168
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,716
A building, a tall
building that we call "I".

169
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,915
But listen: this "I" is also
just a thought, that's the point!

170
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,398
We just need to change
our point of view.

171
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,230
We just need to
rotate 180 degrees and observe.

172
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,349
Then we won't just watch
to thoughts and images...

173
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,714
...but one way or another...

174
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:59,113
...we discover that there are possibilities
for pictures to show themselves to us.

175
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,119
Like on a television.

176
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,870
We are, in fact, a television...

177
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,350
...a box in which
the images appear.

178
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,716
Or the movie projector lamp
which produces all possible images.

179
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,914
We usually watch
all pictures...

180
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,516
...but we can also focus
our attention...

181
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:31,348
...about who is watching
these images.

182
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,509
And listen: it's not an "I".

183
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:42,509
But...

184
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,437
...this is difficult,
because we perceive ourselves...

185
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,592
...like a film that appears
seductive, a drama...

186
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,829
...with or without a happy ending; with the
war, violence, with love.

187
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,278
The projector or television lamp
make these images possible...

188
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,318
...but the images
they don't affect them.

189
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,270
They don't get "hot or cold".

190
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,558
Maybe a little warm.

191
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,109
All problems arise when we are
involved with what we see.

192
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,193
We like to identify with a
fictional movie character.

193
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,158
We want to be James Bond
or Lara Croft.

194
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:34,876
Okay, but also in real life, outside
of cinema, we identify with a character.

195
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:40,068
That character we call "I",
protagonist in the film of our brain.

196
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,071
A truly intelligent film.

197
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,757
If we listen to people
talking in the tram...

198
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,718
...we hear a lot
often the word "I".

199
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,039
I think, I said, I mean...
I this and that...

200
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,108
Nobody seems to wonder who
it's actually this character.

201
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,236
Who is he who
takes on this "I"?

202
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,150
He exists only as a character,
just like in the cinema...

203
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,677
...because we believe in it.
But it's false, it's an illusion.

204
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,195
The lamp cannot identify itself
with a screen character...

205
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,718
...with a James Bond.

206
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,958
If you want a TV with...

207
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:31,239
Go over there and get some coffee. Like this
I can continue and work in peace.

208
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:36,030
You're getting on my nerves...
- I'm leaving, take it easy.

209
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:39,315
Yet I keep thinking
that I am a person.

210
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,392
Even when I dream, I think
to be a person....

211
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,269
...an "I" with strange characteristics.
- He's been here for 3 weeks!

212
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:52,036
In dreams, I can talk to my father
dead, flying, walking on walls...

213
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,277
I invent myself
with this dream "I".

214
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,677
I can also be chased by
a lion and run like crazy.

215
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,637
And then wake up sweaty
for their own illusions.

216
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,354
Fooling me.

217
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,913
Pillow effect correction.

218
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,150
A complicated case.

219
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,436
This dog gnaws
this enormous pulped bone.

220
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,390
Some bone splinters
they enter his gums.

221
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,790
Which start to bleed.

222
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,748
The dog tastes its own
blood, and thinks "Mmm...

223
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,480
"...lucky me, this is
a beautiful, succulent bone!"

224
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,873
So he attacks wildly, increasing
the shrapnel in his jaw and the blood.

225
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,349
Which makes it
even happier.

226
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,435
It's a big vicious circle.

227
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,234
We are also so stupid...

228
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,514
We think the factors
externals can make us happy.

229
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:12,675
But it's not the external factors:
movies, women, sex,...
cars, or whatever...

230
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,550
to let us find you
your own happiness.

231
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,955
Wow, you are amazing.

232
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:35,669
We are...

233
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,634
...as in most films,
always looking for happiness.

234
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,196
We say, "I'm not happy.
I want to be happy. "

235
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,589
It's a crazy idea.

236
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,390
If this "I" is just a thought.
How can a thought be happy?

237
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,276
A TV is not happy showing
a good film, isn't it?

238
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,756
And what about
our past?

239
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,078
We say: "I am as I am,
and that's because of my parents."

240
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,951
But this is also the past
it only exists in our...

241
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,118
...the nurse changes the channel.
15 INT - FAMILY IN THE LIVING ROOM - DAY

242
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,216
In our house in the early 70's.
Bart is 17...

243
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,038
...in our heads.

244
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,670
The past is a thought.

245
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,115
And the "I" is a thought.

246
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,717
How can a thought on earth
be tormented by something else?

247
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,870
A thought cannot be
tormented by nothing.

248
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:37,795
But we really believe in existence
of our character, to our "I".

249
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,470
That as soon as we do,
there is approval and disapproval.

250
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:47,634
We want cake,
without toothache.

251
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,116
Without stopping.

252
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,478
Endless.

253
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:08,357
As long as we identify with our own
character, we are his slaves.

254
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:14,034
We turn into a ping pong ball
hit back and forth by two shots.

255
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,079
One shot is fear,
the other blow is desire.

256
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,634
But I also often think:

257
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,677
...nice theory, but...

258
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,872
...I really am
here, I exist...

259
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,630
I'm sitting here. Isn't it me?

260
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,275
What can I say? It's a
paradox. It drives you mad.

261
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,560
Maybe it's one way. Expose ours
thought with all these paradoxes.

262
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,998
So we can calm down. Interrupting the
creating stupid ideas about ourselves.

263
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,516
Maybe that's what
they call Enlightenment.

264
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,320
...wet hair...
...she is interested in the documentary...

265
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:15,799
The bell rings.

266
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,269
People realize it,
but not mentally...

267
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,319
...that there is not one step away
accomplish. We're already there.

268
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,792
But I keep thinking I have to cross
a threshold, passing through a door...

269
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,636
...because it's like I have to
understand something. What? Where?

270
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:37,511
Another sheet of paper... where to find it?
Where is this liberating phrase found?

271
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,150
For whom?

272
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,669
When I really see
I'm the one who...

273
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,638
...I am what
it never changes.

274
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,270
The possibility is in which
images can be shown.

275
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:23,798
Just as I am the possibility
for my dreams to appear at night.

276
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,474
Then I am
outside of the film.

277
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,631
But I'm not that possibility,
the lamp or the TV.

278
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,035
Because they are ideas,
and I'm not an idea.

279
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,272
So there's nothing
to understand... Understood?

280
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,795
Everything is a game of ideas.

281
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,836
Don't listen to me. If you do, you might
thinking, "This is interesting."

282
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,911
"This idea could help me."

283
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,599
There are no interesting ideas.
Because there is no "I" to help.

284
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,552
...black.

285
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,156
...the mother's voice and the
child disappear. Silence...

286
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,996
...she turns off the TV...becoming
a red-green-blue dot...

287
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,039
There's nothing else to say.

288
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,677
That's all it is
there's something to be said. Nothing else.

289
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:54,914
...No interesting ideas.
Because there is no "I" to help.

290
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,478
...That's all it is
there's something to be said. Nothing else.

291
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,995
There's nothing else to say...

292
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,831
T.T.

293
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,630
Then there was T.

00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:15,638
I present myself as

...and I play him.

In other words: Bart.

299
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,752
I type
what he does...

300
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,710
...and I do what I write.

00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:45,109
He smiles, takes another cigarette,
forget to turn it on...

305
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,278

00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:41,317
He's too busy writing
to notice these reflections.

312
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,432
"Pygmalion and Galatea"
Jean-Leon Gerome 1890

313
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,432
Hello, Bart.

314
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,191
Hey lady! It's beautiful
hear your voice!

315
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,112
How are you?
- Well...

316
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,559
Where are you?
- In Lima.

317
00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:20,395
I thought you were still in Guatemala.
- No, I left her 4 days ago...

318
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,598
I can't hear you...

319
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:27,231
I can't hear you either. How is Mieke?
- Well. Very good.

320
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:31,109
Really? How did it go?
Grandma's birthday yesterday?

321
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,953
Yesterday? I am sorry.
We forgot about it.

322
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,750
Forgotten? - I'm busy
with the script...It's evolving.

323
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,229
SHADOWS OF LEAVES

324
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,868
I just finished a part.

325
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:48,352
I can't guarantee it, but I feel like it
if I had stumbled upon a gold mine.

326
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,430
...also hugs
your own creation...

327
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,398
19 INT - BART'S STAY
Through the bars of a..

328
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,157
I can't hear you.

329
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,029
Marga?

330
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,590
I'm hanging up, Marga.

331
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:15,116
Thank you for calling.
Hi dear. Take care!

332
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,512
...The lighter turns out to be huge.

333
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,593
We look at the garden.
A gust of wind...

334
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,832
...stops trying to
tidy up your notes...

335
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,439
While we listen to the interview
original in the background, let's see...

336
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,633
These are illusions...

337
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:40,112
....and I don't have to fight either
be okay with illusions.

338
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,877
I just have to see
through them.

339
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,675
Often it's enough to change
your own point of view.

340
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,673
We'll see something strange.

341
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,719
Suddenly we will see the reality.
And we will say: "Now I understand!"

342
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:02,318
From now on, we won't understand it.
He won't deceive us anymore.

343
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,758
If we walk in the desert
and we see a mirage...

344
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,196
...we believe there is
an oasis with water.

345
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,114
But when we realize that it is
a mirage, we continue to see it...

346
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,919
...but we don't run anymore.

347
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,356
But until I feel something...

348
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,238
I'm stuck.

349
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,551
As long as you believe in
own character...

350
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,832
It's so hard. I would like to explain it
but this is hopeless...

351
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,470
People say:
"Let it all go...

352
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:42,153
"Abandon your 'I'."
But this is impossible.

353
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:43,673
I can't let him go.

354
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,276
If I try, I am an "I", who
tries to abandon one's "self".

355
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,274
The paradox is that
the "I" cannot do it.

356
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,752
Got it? It doesn't matter how
I expressed it, I can't...

357
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:06,834
It's complicated. If for example
I look at this cup of coffee...

358
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,315
I see a cup of coffee.

359
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,268
I see a shape I know
which is intended for coffee.

360
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,353
I know it has a specific weight and
if I drop it, it breaks.

361
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,399
So I don't see it,
but I see my knowledge.

362
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:33,438
I see my thoughts and
conceptions about the thing.

363
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:42,912
There are stories of Buddhists who
they stared at a vase for 30 years...

364
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,197
...to try to see the vase.

365
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,557
Not to see their ideas of
vase, or their knowledge...

366
00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:55,078
Not what a vase is, if it is beautiful
or ugly, green and for the flowers...

367
00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:57,151
...no, the thing itself!

368
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,518
But all I see is mine
knowledge of the world around me.

369
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:06,117
Let's slow down. Let's look at the vase...

370
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:12,949
What I try to explain with
this vase, I call it "observing"...

371
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:17,830
...and which consists of looking at the vase
without adding any meaning.

372
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:25,031
I would like to watch without opinions
and ideas. Without any meaning.

373
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,352
Observing. Just looking.

374
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,997
Memory creates completely
our character.

375
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,431
But this memory
it is unreliable and limited.

376
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,478
Tell me: what did you do
two months ago at this time?

377
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:30,951
You can't rewind from...

378
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:32,436
"Now."

379
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,317
Our memory creates meatloaf
of thoughts and feelings...

380
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,678
...and says: this is my personality,
it's me, this is me.

381
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,628
But this "I" only exists
when "I" think.

382
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:55,754
...the hot tea is waiting for...
...moving lines on the surface...

383
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,799
He chokes on his tea...

384
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:13,594
Everything is made up of memory.
For example: look at this sentence.

385
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:18,117
We think we can hear
this sentence, but you can't.

386
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:23,356
We hear sound after sound,
about 14 sounds in one second.

387
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,116
Every sound, a new one
needle peak.

388
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,396
Next, ours
memory assembles them together...

389
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,677
...and says, "I heard a phrase."

390
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,796
This is absolute rubbish!

391
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,519
The phrase I think I heard
It's a product of my memory.

392
00:43:43,240 --> 00:43:46,949
No one has ever heard
a sentence nowhere.

393
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:54,358
The fascinating thing is that
I can see it: I have a thought...

394
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,829
This thought comes and goes.

395
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,116
And then there's nothing left...

396
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,078
No thing, no thought.

397
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:10,312
Then a thought arises again, like
dust in the sunlight or sea waves.

398
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:15,871
And I can observe the silence
between these two thoughts...

399
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,110
...this white space.

400
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,999
The camera focuses outside
from white space.

401
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,914
But I can't think about this
silence or... - He's gone.

402
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,753
...there is no more silence.

403
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:33,313
This brings me to Eastern philosophies
The philosophy that we are awareness...

404
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:34,839
...Silence...

405
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,190
Title: Four days later.

406
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:38,952
...a distinct white screen...

407
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,516
...on which this character,
this "I" appears.

408
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,148
But... the trap is
in thinking every time:

409
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,312
“Oh yes” or “I understand”.

410
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,310
The "I" will never be able to understand that...

411
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,717
...the "I" cannot understand anything.

412
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,231
"I" can't understand
that "I" does not exist!

413
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:25,114
You can only see and
experience what is now.

414
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,238
The future and the past
they don't exist.

415
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,789
None of us have any
never had experience.

416
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,839
You can only experience one
thought that arises now...

417
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,993
FOUR DAYS LATER
...maybe they say: that was yesterday.

418
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:43,153
But I can have this
thought only in the present.

419
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,151
With the subtitle:
YESTERDAY

420
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,756
It's that simple: I am alone
in the hour when things appear.

421
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,514
...Bart feeds the baby...
...scrolling back...

422
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,911
...all those opinions about
myself make no sense.

423
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,878
I am good, crazy,
it's not that bad...

424
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:02,591
I'm stupid, I'm serious,
I'm looking for happiness...

425
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,398
I am... I am...

426
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,111
Rubbish...

427
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,151
It's complicated, what I'm saying...

428
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:22,269
Sounds like: pass through
the door and there you are...

429
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,319
And it's just A or B.
Everything else is rubbish.

430
00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:32,268
My God, do it!
Why isn't it that simple?

431
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:38,234
Why not do it?
Why can't you help me?

432
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,915
Help me cross it.
- Why don't you do it?

433
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:49,392
Because from the moment you want
cross it, we are on the wrong road.

434
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,152
This is the paradox.

435
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:57,111
When we want to cross
the door, let's create this "I want".

436
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:03,276
If we want to cross it, we must
leave this desire behind us.

437
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,273
But how?

438
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,397
It can't be done.

439
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,112
It can't be done.

440
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,590
Impossible... or not?

441
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,198
Now I'll feed you!

442
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,473
This is me, thinking
again, isn't it?

443
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,870
I still have hope...

444
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,396
-Being- -A Crisis... An Opportunity-
-People (change)- -The Sayings of the Buddha-

445
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,358
All I can say,
like in a sign...

446
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,193
...an indication...

447
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,874
-The Choice- -The Eye of the Buddha not
never sleeps- -Introduction to Zen Buddhism-
-In Search of Wisdom-

448
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,914
...It's that we are the unimaginable.

449
00:48:31,240 --> 00:48:32,468
Sorry, what are we...?

450
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:35,870
The unimaginable...

451
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,394
It's a very important word.

452
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:45,669
Before understanding it, let's think about it
it's something you can imagine...

453
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:50,755
...as a person who thinks that
this is rubbish or interesting.

454
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,718
But this doesn't do it
no difference.

455
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:59,478
The well is not affected
from the river current.

456
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,435
That's all. Point.

457
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,435
The answering machine answers
Bart Klever's phone...

458
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:40,397
He's not here right now.

459
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,835
Wait a minute.
I think I heard it...

460
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:43,910
Bart?

461
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:49,711
No, I was wrong. - Talk after
acoustic signal and he will call you back.

462
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,397
Bart? I'm Marga.
Are you at home?

463
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,513
Bart, Bart, Bart, are you home?
Pick up the phone please.

464
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,719
Ok Bart, I'm in La Paz,
at the Hotel Concepcion.

465
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:10,192
I can only call twice a day,
so I'll look for you again this evening.

466
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:14,512
When it's 5 here, it's 12 in your place,
so please try to be at home.

467
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:20,835
If you can't, I'll try tomorrow morning.
At 2pm for you.

468
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:26,358
So please try to stay at home
midnight or tomorrow at two in the afternoon.

469
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:30,832
I have to talk to you and I want to
desperately to hear Mieke.

470
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,398
Kisses for Mieke...
Hello, Bart.

471
00:51:36,199 --> 00:51:39,199
"I am that. Conversation with the Master"
Sri Nisargadatta Mahara.

472
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:08,274
You say: we are always looking for the
happiness because it is our nature.

473
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,795
Do you recognize this research?

474
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,039
-Being- -Really Being.

475
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,915
So you're on the hunt
of paradise lost...

476
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:19,435
Don't you agree?

477
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,791
I think so...
something like that.

478
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:32,599
Looking at the moral of the story,
and what we all do...

479
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,194
...what there is
keeps it going...

480
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:42,157
...then it boils down to the fact
which we know very well...

481
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:46,074
...that this is our nature
original, what we are...

482
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:50,876
But this projector or its lamp
he sounds so cold, detached...

483
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:58,795
It seems as if you are no longer
dedicated to what happens...

484
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:04,075
The comparison can be: a lamp.
Is that all we are?

485
00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:06,629
A custom-made lamp
by the hand of God?

486
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:15,832
I think: if I'm a lamp, not
I'm a character on screen.

487
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:20,118
Then I no longer have a
ego or a personality.

488
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,713
But then I start
to think again...

489
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,953
That I want to be unique...

490
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,192
I have this strange idea
that I am unique...

491
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,555
...so my ego
it doesn't dissolve...

492
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,959
...and I'm afraid of
lose myself, I...

493
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:42,752
...as in Scientologists or Moonies,
where their ego is damaged...

494
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,674
...the self will become a
robot without will.

495
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,637
This doesn't seem to be happening.

496
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:57,918
From the moment someone gives up on
own personality and ideas about it...

497
00:54:00,720 --> 00:54:02,597
How can I say?

498
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,479
...then it becomes life.
You become...

499
00:54:06,240 --> 00:54:07,559
...Love.

500
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,794
Love?
- Yes love.

501
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,397
...Compassion...

502
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:24,551
That person becomes
transparent...clear.

503
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,197
Give up the idea of
be a character.

504
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,114
There is...
God, I don't know.

505
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,514
Sounds like: Just the way you want it.

506
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:38,796
Yes.
- As you wish with me.

507
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:42,032
In fact, that's what
It happens to me all day.

508
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,351
Everything happens to me.
As soon as things happen...

509
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,637
We say: you do it to me... or not.

510
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:50,756
Caress me but don't pinch me...

511
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,711
Basically everything happens to me.

512
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:58,793
Let's put it another way:
Everything happens.

513
00:55:01,240 --> 00:55:04,232
This character, this "I",
it's a painful cramp...

514
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,358
...that baffles us all day.

515
00:55:07,359 --> 00:55:08,159
-Beautiful poems...-

516
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:12,876
When it doesn't distress us,
then we can react...

517
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:16,316
-Neither "one" is born, nor "one" dies.
Nisargadatta Maharaji-

518
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:20,149
...clearly and spontaneously
to everything that happens.

519
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:27,797
Just like an animal or a cat that
reacts and becomes alert instantly.

520
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:32,912
And there is no longer an "I" inside
to filter and complicate things.

521
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,395
POST-ITS ON THE WINDOW
IDEAS FOR THE FILM

522
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,312
There are only events...

523
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:41,871
...not intended to make us happy
or unhappy, they just happen.

524
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:46,716
But we stick labels on everything:
"This is good for me and this is not"...

525
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:50,190
"THE LAST POST-IT SAYS NOTHING
ABOUT THE NEXT SHOT"

526
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:54,152
...and we find ourselves in a complicated...

527
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,756
...and vulnerable position in the world.

528
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,989
We consider ourselves as "I" and...

529
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,879
...we feel separated
from the rest of the world.

530
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,076
Others can
influence my "I".

531
00:56:06,240 --> 00:56:10,279
They can hate it, love it and
make sure I like it.

532
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,591
I am very addicted to
what happens around me.

533
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:19,440
But the "I" that thinks
this is not real.

534
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:27,197
Therefore even if it may seem real,
while I'm talking, I'm not here.

535
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,352
24 INT - BART'S ROOM - NIGHT
Bart fell asleep.

536
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:15,593
His head is resting on the keyboard.
On the screen we see: zzzzzzzz...

537
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:31,395
...Bart tries to print for...
...but he can't.

538
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:32,595
Amigo looks at him.

539
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,869
But where am I going wrong?

540
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:52,273
Who is this "I"? I created
a mystery to myself.

541
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:53,759
A big trap.

542
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:55,918
An immense optical illusion.

543
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,157
More of a mental illusion.

544
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:04,077
We are like a tree in the forest that
he asks another tree, "Where is the forest?"

545
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:09,511
Let's write our script...

546
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:12,710
...and we are captured by it.

547
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,918
So let's look for methods,
gurus, spiritual masters...

548
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:25,074
...or we search within ourselves
balance, harmony, peace...

549
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,800
...knowledge of ourselves.

550
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:32,478
Self-knowledge?
Do I want to know myself?

551
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,712
It's like calling home.

552
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:39,311
Obviously the line is busy.

553
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:42,831
DUST IN SUNLIGHT

554
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,671
I GIVE UP THE IDEA OF
BE A CHARACTER

555
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:48,311
CHANGE THE POINT
OF BART'S VIEW

556
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:54,709
The ones everyone wants is a
instant spiritual coffee.

557
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,314
Just add hot water...

558
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,028
We can't think
in the right way.

559
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:02,474
Friend! Stop it!

560
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,392
It doesn't matter what I do.

561
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:09,839
I can say: as long as not
I keep seeing illusions...

562
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:15,916
...as reality and I don't identify with the
my character thinking it's necessary.

563
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:25,309
The bizarre thing is that,
while watching this movie...

564
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:29,991
...we identify with the character
main, Bart Klever, the screenwriter.

565
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:35,553
But worse, as I have already said: outside the cinema,
we also identify with each other throughout the day...

566
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:40,999
...with the character "I".
Everyone plays themselves.

567
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:48,829
It seems possible...

568
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,828
...escape this
identification process.

569
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:57,471
Free yourself from your own
character, and delete it.

570
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,399
But how?

571
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:27,152
What are you doing
pretend not to know?

572
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:32,633
Why are you recording this?
Why are you listening, why are you listening to me?

573
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:34,912
Who is listening?

574
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,112
Who gets angry like this?

575
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:38,589
Who's looking?

576
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:40,318
You don't need a teacher.

577
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:41,913
It's all so paradoxical...

578
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:45,709
You might think that these words
are a sort of road map

579
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:47,793
So what's the point?

580
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:49,109
Who? "I"?

581
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,393
It's all illusion, all illusion!

582
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:17,875
Get lost!

583
01:02:12,719 --> 01:02:14,719
"You are always a beginner"

584
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,996
“Keep calm and
don't force yourself into anything"

585
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:24,872
"Just thinking about stories
that thought exists"

586
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:29,916
“Move your attention from the screen to
yourself to break the spell"

587
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:34,956
"Those who know, do not speak.
Those who speak do not know"

588
01:02:34,957 --> 01:02:37,257
“How can I grab it?
It cannot be grasped."

589
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:43,469
"The researcher and the researched"

590
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:47,788
"No preference"

591
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:54,555
Visitor: What is sin?
Maharaj: Everything that blinds"

592
01:02:54,556 --> 01:02:58,556
"A heavy snowfall
disappears into the sea. What Silence!"

593
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,913
"The mind causes insecurity"

594
01:03:03,914 --> 01:03:07,914
No trace: "When you do something,
you have to burn yourself completely,

595
01:03:07,915 --> 01:03:10,915
...like a good bonfire,
leave no trace"

596
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:17,193
"Reading books won't help you!

597
01:03:17,194 --> 01:03:20,194
"You are always a beginner"

598
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,911
"Forget everything"

599
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:42,149
"Give up everything"

600
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:27,431
"There is no method/Way.

601
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,908
131. It's not...

602
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:49,079
Silence.

603
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:31,469
Bart?

604
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,194
Do you mean to be more interior life?
- Yes.

605
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:38,238
But, if it's that close...

606
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:40,915
How do I cancel.

607
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,152
Answer the phone, Bart!

608
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:45,999
I'm coming!

609
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:50,275
...there is therefore action,
but no actor...

610
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:52,792
How do I delete Bart.

611
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:57,755
...fuck the balloon...

612
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,635
Hey, you're back!
- You're home!

613
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:02,552
I don't have much time.

614
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:05,075
I'm working on the screenplay.

615
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:07,232
He's fine. Just a moment.

616
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,789
What's happening?
- No, nothing...

617
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,669
I don't have time.
Come to my place.

618
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:55,517
My character is
afraid of dissolution.

619
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:59,468
My character is terrified
to kill himself.

620
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,276
But this is a problem
of the image on the screen.

621
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:07,718
It's not a lamp problem.
- Hello, this is Bart's voicemail...

622
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:11,190
At the moment it's not...
Wait, I think he can hear us.

623
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:13,275
Bart?!

624
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:17,434
- Speak after the beep.
Of course my character is scared...

625
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:20,068
...to finish with the film.

626
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:22,111
Don't call again, okay?

627
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:25,274
Christ!
- DME4, Andries speaking...

628
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:29,992
Jan is sick. I'm his replacement.
- Let's try another take.

629
01:08:30,440 --> 01:08:31,953
Well...

630
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:43,352
The movie is too long.
- That's how long it takes.

631
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:48,033
Don't let it ring?
- DME4, Andries...

632
01:08:48,440 --> 01:08:50,874
It's for you.
- I'm Don Duyns...

633
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:55,513
If you leave me alone, you will be
helped as soon as possible. HI.

634
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,919
There's too much text
in this movie...

635
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:04,475
I believe this
scene is fundamental.

636
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:07,313
I'll delete some things.

637
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:08,629
Not you?

638
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:10,711
I think this...

639
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:14,110
It's a bonding scene, isn't it?

640
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:15,395
Fast forward!

641
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,916
You can get angry,
but I'm replacing Jan...

642
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:23,471
I'm not angry. If you want to dedicate
to football your whole life...

643
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:27,151
What do you want with this scene?

644
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:28,309
Fast forward please...

645
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,833
Why didn't you call?
- I'm busy.

646
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:56,513
Who do you think you are, Bart?!
- It's funny that you ask...

647
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:58,716
Mieke just fell asleep.

648
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:02,513
In the other room?

649
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:04,034
Check it out...

650
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,595
Go and see.
- Won't he wake up?

651
01:13:11,440 --> 01:13:12,429
No!

652
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:14,353
I don't want a kiss.

653
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:17,313
Have you just arrived?

654
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:20,635
Huh?
- Did you just get back?

655
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:25,118
You know very well that I'm in
Holland for at least a day.

656
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:27,678
I called you all the time!

657
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:35,792
I was on my script, so
I couldn't answer.

658
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:40,115
Couldn't you answer?
What do you think, Bart?

659
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:41,838
What is Marga waiting for?
- I think...

660
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:43,991
You think: It was
away for two months...

661
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,879
...who cares if he sees it
your little girl today or tomorrow?

662
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:49,031
Maybe he'll be back next week!

663
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:52,510
You were gone for two months.
and this was not a problem.

664
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:54,636
Christ! What do you want to say?

665
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:56,518
It was only for two months!

666
01:13:57,960 --> 01:13:59,188
I quite agree...

667
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:03,633
It's ridiculous that you're not
came to the airport.

668
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:07,713
Making me wait so long
before I can come!

669
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:12,032
I didn't know where you were.
I can't take three buses!

670
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:16,872
It's crazy that you left me
alone waiting at the airport...

671
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:19,594
...with everyone coming to
take someone and I...

672
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:21,195
It's ridiculous!

673
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,393
Great! Excuse me.
I'll take note of it.

674
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:32,557
For real! I spend all my time at
try to bring the man from the script to life...

675
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:34,469
Which man?

676
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:37,832
Me! And you come in and
it's exactly...

677
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:41,153
Christ!
- Bart, you bastard!

678
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:45,553
This is real. I have to take note of that.
- Are you really writing this?

679
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:46,914
And then what?

680
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:59,589
Take a break from the script,
who knows... - ...give up...

681
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,551
Talk about it with people.

682
01:15:04,440 --> 01:15:08,069
It's your dream.
Nobody will understand it.

683
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:13,360
Not at a useful level.
- I think everyone understands...

684
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:20,517
...exactly what it is.
This nostalgia, the endless search...

685
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:24,473
...of eternal joy and happiness...

686
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,992
Your effort doesn't
will inspire anyone.

687
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:33,473
Listen, the movies that really drew me in
They were the ones I didn't understand at first.

688
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:36,712
They weren't pretentious, but
they touched me deeply.

689
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:40,236
That's why it's not a movie
common with a history.

690
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:44,234
This film must deny everything!
- What's in your eye?

691
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:48,476
Confuse us and make us
observe ourselves.

692
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:52,030
And see through ours
illusions. What?

693
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,636
- You have to look after yourself.
- What? I do it, very well.

694
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,268
I have to change the
my point of view.

695
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:27,918
I am the character in my film.
- This is crazy!

696
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:31,152
I am the character of mine
movie, but I want to escape.

697
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,517
But in the actual movie,
what you're shooting.

698
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:38,150
Which is the same.
What is this movie!

699
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:41,955
Okay. Do we have to do another scene?
Turn on the cassette recorder.

700
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:45,312
Go ahead, do it!
A beautiful memory of me!

701
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:48,354
A memory! But imagine.
- ...true love...

702
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:52,035
I'm talking about running away
from the idea of myself.

703
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:55,909
You are afraid of being who you are.
This is why you run away...

704
01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:58,917
Who's afraid?
- You!

705
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:01,071
Who? So who am I?

706
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:07,753
You're just Bart.
- No, I'm not.

707
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:11,959
No, it consists in leaving
go this 'I'.

708
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:17,035
Certain. You have to abandon this
idea and dedicate yourself to other things.

709
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:19,031
It is necessary to let go.

710
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:21,395
Nonsense.
- It doesn't matter, Bart.

711
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:24,677
Let go so I'll abandon you
leaving! And I'll take Mieke with me.

712
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:27,559
And then you will know
who you really are.

713
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:31,151
You will be nothing
without us.

714
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:32,150
Yes.

715
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:54,872
It's the same for you.
But you're too scared, coward!

716
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:57,952
You've locked yourself away with books!
Reading...

717
01:17:58,120 --> 01:18:00,759
...on how to be lighter
with all this heavy stuff.

718
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,195
By God, I must be bold!
This requires courage.

719
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:05,112
...I don't dare...

720
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:09,717
Try to abandon them all
the ideas I want to keep.

721
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:12,269
The thoughts that make me me.

722
01:18:12,480 --> 01:18:15,756
The screenwriter, the father...
let go of all this.

723
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,354
It takes guts!
- Do you know where courage is needed?

724
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,637
Taking care of our little girl!
-...Crazy illusions...

725
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:25,031
Make sure he's happy.
-...Totally useless...

726
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:28,237
And don't lock her up
in a bunker with you!

727
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:32,632
In a bunker! In a bunker...
- If I had known,
I would never have left!

728
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:37,430
You gave me the wrong impression.
- The little girl is much happier here...

729
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:40,751
...Because I leave her alone.
- And not me?

730
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:42,273
...indication...

731
01:18:42,440 --> 01:18:45,477
I respect her.
- Me too, but I'll take care of her!

732
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:09,279
You don't do anything!

733
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:12,633
Did you just work?

734
01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:15,356
What?
- You just worked.

735
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,798
Yes. I'm busy.
It is evolving very well.

736
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:22,238
I'm almost there.

737
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:25,876
I'm looking, I'm looking...

738
01:19:26,480 --> 01:19:29,711
"I seek, I seek?" Succeed
to listen to your nonsense?

739
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,474
I'm looking for the researcher.

740
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:35,196
Who is he looking for on earth?

741
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:39,592
So I can go further. Understood?
- Bart! I see a fat man...

742
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:43,992
...an unhealthy chaos, and lyrics
of borrowed wisdom!

743
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:49,032
What do you need them for
if you are incompetent!

744
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:52,592
I find myself every time.
- Are you there?

745
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:55,479
What did you say?

746
01:19:56,360 --> 01:20:01,878
I will follow this new line of thought.
I will play a new character.

747
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:07,273
My ego, I created myself.
- I don't think you're here.

748
01:20:07,440 --> 01:20:09,271
No! I hope I'm not here.

749
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:15,836
I'm always here. Always!
I get nervous. I get annoyed with you.

750
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:17,877
I wish I wasn't here.

751
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:19,029
You understand?

752
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:26,549
You know, I still have the
feeling that I ...can touch it!

753
01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:29,553
May he grasp it.
It's so close.

754
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:32,871
I want you too
know it. How...

755
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:36,350
It's so close.
It's so beautiful!

756
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:52,670
...Nothing can happen to me...
- It's the character you believe in

757
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:57,271
...to be able to clean the screen...
- He's not a character! I see real things!

758
01:20:57,440 --> 01:21:02,036
...Escape from yourself...
- They did their best
to feed their children!

759
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:06,478
...You are no longer separated...
- Your little girl is real.
She's here...

760
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:11,191
...Observed from above...
...Change your point of view...

761
01:21:11,440 --> 01:21:14,477
You are not a character.
That's all.

762
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:19,549
...what we do on earth
and what we fight for.

763
01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:23,030
That's what
I do here with my daughter!

764
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:25,998
You know what? You believe you are
awake and I'm sleeping.

765
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:29,869
But when you wake up, no
you will be truly sorry.

766
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:32,873
This is our arrogance.
- You're so unbearable!

767
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:34,951
It's still all your movie!

768
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:44,870
That's exactly how you act, Bart.

769
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:50,480
I just want to go to her.
- Can I come?

770
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:51,709
I do not know.

771
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:56,156
She had fallen asleep.
- Let him wake up.

772
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:12,430
Don't touch! Hands off!
- You don't need it, Bart.

773
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:17,037
Don't touch these cards!
- You should know everything by heart.

774
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:19,953
You don't need the
other people's lyrics!

775
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:23,829
Ale'!
- Do you want to be here and now?

776
01:22:24,480 --> 01:22:28,473
SPECTATORS THINK:
LOIS = MARGA

777
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:32,312
Don't touch it!
- You can't record it!

778
01:22:32,480 --> 01:22:34,038
Do you know what's real?

779
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:39,594
This is real!

780
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,675
HOME = SCENARIO...
- That's not in my script!

781
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:46,389
No, that's not true! More things yes
they will break into your script.

782
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:49,120
Lots of things that don't
I'm in your script...

783
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,639
Hello love...
- Mom's back.

784
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:05,119
Where's the pacifier?

785
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:08,111
Let's go. Sit down.

786
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:11,558
No. Then you can write
that I sat down.

787
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:15,356
Write that I left!

788
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:18,914
Say "Hi Dad."

789
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:13,475
ALL THE SUFFERING
IT IS BORN FROM DESIRE.

790
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:56,238
How do I delete Bart?

791
01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:42,636
