00:00:47,798 --> 00:00:49,800
A chronicle of facts

2
00:00:50,009 --> 00:00:53,679
that contributed
to the fall of the monarchy

3
00:03:00,097 --> 00:03:06,020
14TH JULY 1789

4
00:03:10,941 --> 00:03:12,484
Present arms!

5
00:03:13,235 --> 00:03:14,612
Forward march!

6
00:03:16,197 --> 00:03:17,448
March!

7
00:03:18,616 --> 00:03:20,075
About turn!

8
00:03:21,368 --> 00:03:22,786
Forward march!

9
00:03:32,463 --> 00:03:35,007
Squad, halt!

10
00:04:31,397 --> 00:04:34,900
I would like to speak to His
Majesty. Who is his gentleman?

11
00:04:35,067 --> 00:04:36,151
Monsieur de Guéméné.

12
00:04:36,318 --> 00:04:38,862
Announce the Duke
de la Rochefoucauld-Liancourt.

13
00:04:52,084 --> 00:04:53,752
Good evening, Guéméné.

14
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:56,046
Kindly inform His Majesty
that I am here.

15
00:04:56,213 --> 00:04:59,383
I must warn you, the
hunt was keen today.

16
00:04:59,550 --> 00:05:02,428
His Majesty sleeps
like Hercules after his labors.

17
00:05:02,594 --> 00:05:04,722
Pray make haste,
my dear Guéméné.

18
00:05:04,888 --> 00:05:07,057
- Is it serious?
- I believe so.

19
00:05:19,153 --> 00:05:21,155
His Majesty is not
asleep. Pray enter.

20
00:05:27,494 --> 00:05:29,371
Good evening, La Rochefoucauld!

21
00:05:33,250 --> 00:05:37,296
I slept, but was aroused
by a pang of hunger.

22
00:05:38,172 --> 00:05:39,381
It is this hunting.

23
00:05:41,091 --> 00:05:44,511
We chased a ten-pointed stag,
very rare now.

24
00:05:44,928 --> 00:05:48,182
Picard, put the small
table on the bed.

25
00:05:48,766 --> 00:05:51,769
My good Guéméné,
pour me some wine.

26
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:55,356
My dear Duke, pass
me the chicken.

27
00:05:55,522 --> 00:05:58,442
Picard has placed
it beyond reach.

28
00:05:59,526 --> 00:06:04,198
He thinks, because I'm king,
I must have long arms!

29
00:06:13,540 --> 00:06:14,833
What is it?

30
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,419
Sire, the Parisians
have taken the Bastille.

31
00:06:22,549 --> 00:06:23,717
So it is a revolt?

32
00:06:24,218 --> 00:06:26,678
No, sire, it is a revolution.

33
00:06:29,098 --> 00:06:33,435
A VILLAGE IN PROVENCE
JUNE 1790

34
00:06:53,705 --> 00:06:55,124
I saw you.

35
00:06:57,876 --> 00:07:00,796
Pardon a poor wretch,
your honor.

36
00:07:00,963 --> 00:07:03,048
I was wrong to
kill your pigeons,

37
00:07:03,257 --> 00:07:06,718
but they were eating
the only crop I have.

38
00:07:09,721 --> 00:07:13,475
You, there! You are witnesses.

39
00:07:13,642 --> 00:07:14,685
I didn't see anything.

40
00:07:14,852 --> 00:07:17,271
Nobody asked your opinion. Obey!

41
00:07:17,438 --> 00:07:18,564
Take him away.

42
00:07:22,359 --> 00:07:26,697
Case of Anatole Roux,
accused of pillage.

43
00:07:27,448 --> 00:07:29,199
You are a habitual offender!

44
00:07:29,867 --> 00:07:35,080
Last year, my men caught
you setting snares.

45
00:07:36,039 --> 00:07:39,835
Luckily for you, on land
owned by Monsieur Giraud,

46
00:07:40,002 --> 00:07:43,046
mayor of this village,
here present.

47
00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:46,592
His misplaced generosity
saved you from the gallows.

48
00:07:47,009 --> 00:07:50,888
Count, a man is master
of his own domain.

49
00:07:51,054 --> 00:07:53,056
This is a flagrant case.

50
00:07:53,223 --> 00:07:56,435
The pigeon is mine
and there are witnesses.

51
00:07:56,602 --> 00:07:58,103
I didn't see anything.

52
00:08:00,647 --> 00:08:05,194
It is my heritage, as squire,
to mete out justice.

53
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,446
A thankless privilege,

54
00:08:08,155 --> 00:08:10,908
but it is my duty
to exercise it unflinchingly.

55
00:08:11,074 --> 00:08:13,744
Before all else,
we serve His Majesty.

56
00:08:13,911 --> 00:08:16,371
Your case is
beyond my jurisdiction.

57
00:08:16,538 --> 00:08:18,916
I will refer it to
the magistrates.

58
00:08:19,082 --> 00:08:23,045
Come now, Count,
you know what they're like.

59
00:08:23,212 --> 00:08:25,172
They've no more
heart than a rock,

60
00:08:25,339 --> 00:08:28,383
and no more sense than...
an old pot!

61
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:30,886
With them, it's the gallows.

62
00:08:31,053 --> 00:08:33,764
The gallows for a pigeon.
Do you think that just?

63
00:08:33,931 --> 00:08:36,600
The pigeon is immaterial.

64
00:08:36,767 --> 00:08:39,353
It symbolizes the
order I must defend.

65
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,232
It seems a pretty
skimpy symbol to me.

66
00:08:44,358 --> 00:08:46,818
There's nothing of it
when it's plucked.

67
00:08:47,236 --> 00:08:50,322
Once they kill our pigeons,
they'll burn our castles.

68
00:08:50,489 --> 00:08:55,619
So you are really defending
your feudal rights

69
00:08:55,786 --> 00:08:58,121
rather than the laws
of His Majesty?

70
00:08:58,288 --> 00:08:59,706
Both.

71
00:09:00,290 --> 00:09:02,960
Destroy the feudal order
which assures your rights,

72
00:09:03,377 --> 00:09:05,837
then you destroy our
social structure,

73
00:09:06,004 --> 00:09:08,674
based on respect
for divine and natural order.

74
00:09:10,092 --> 00:09:11,969
Of which you, too,
are a beneficiary.

75
00:09:12,719 --> 00:09:17,182
A very small beneficiary.
I know your tune.

76
00:09:17,349 --> 00:09:22,062
If your privileges disappear,
then mine will follow suit.

77
00:09:22,771 --> 00:09:27,859
To keep my little comforts,
I must abet your abuses.

78
00:09:28,026 --> 00:09:33,115
You, the great lord,
own most of the land here.

79
00:09:33,282 --> 00:09:39,037
I'm an old warrant officer.
You think we're interdependent?

80
00:09:39,204 --> 00:09:42,791
I would rather lose
everything I possess!

81
00:11:04,498 --> 00:11:05,624
I surrender.

82
00:11:06,708 --> 00:11:08,210
I'll go quietly.

83
00:11:08,377 --> 00:11:11,171
What do you mean? Are you mad?

84
00:11:14,758 --> 00:11:16,718
- Is that a hearth?
- Yes.

85
00:11:17,386 --> 00:11:18,762
It's all wrong.

86
00:11:20,180 --> 00:11:22,474
Don't try to tell me how to do it.

87
00:11:22,891 --> 00:11:25,727
I'm a mason, a good one.

88
00:11:25,894 --> 00:11:28,438
I know my trade, ask anyone.

89
00:11:28,605 --> 00:11:31,108
What's the matter
with this hearth?

90
00:11:31,274 --> 00:11:33,402
The wind's in the west.

91
00:11:33,568 --> 00:11:37,030
You're no longer in town,
you have to think about the wind.

92
00:11:38,448 --> 00:11:40,951
Here's a good one.

93
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,162
Who's that?

94
00:11:44,871 --> 00:11:46,248
I don't know.

95
00:11:46,415 --> 00:11:48,625
- Who are you?
- What about you?

96
00:11:48,792 --> 00:11:50,085
We're from Marseilles.

97
00:11:50,252 --> 00:11:53,922
- Fleeing the king's justice?
- Not the king's, the aristocrats'.

98
00:11:54,089 --> 00:11:57,759
- Same as me.
- We're not criminals.

99
00:11:57,926 --> 00:12:00,262
- Me neither.
- We're patriots.

100
00:12:00,429 --> 00:12:02,431
That's enough to put us in jail.

101
00:12:02,597 --> 00:12:06,184
I killed a pigeon.
That means the gallows.

102
00:12:12,482 --> 00:12:14,151
You know this area?

103
00:12:14,568 --> 00:12:17,612
I was born in Cadolive,
just over the hill.

104
00:12:17,779 --> 00:12:22,075
I know the priest there.
He brings food when he can.

105
00:12:23,744 --> 00:12:26,455
- Have you a leather belt?
- I have.

106
00:12:26,621 --> 00:12:28,165
It's a present from my mother.

107
00:12:29,916 --> 00:12:31,042
There.

108
00:12:32,419 --> 00:12:36,423
It'll make a good sling.
We'll kill plenty of blackbirds.

109
00:12:36,923 --> 00:12:39,301
- Got any string?
- What for?

110
00:12:39,468 --> 00:12:42,471
For snaring rabbits.
There's plenty about.

111
00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:47,309
- You seem to be quite a hunter.
- I know.

112
00:12:47,476 --> 00:12:49,519
That's what the count says, too.

113
00:12:49,686 --> 00:12:52,272
- What's your name?
- Jean-Joseph Bomier.

114
00:12:52,439 --> 00:12:56,568
I'm Anatole Roux,
but everyone calls me "Chamois."

115
00:12:56,735 --> 00:13:00,155
- And you?
- I'm Honoré Arnaud.

116
00:13:00,322 --> 00:13:02,449
Toll clerk from Marseilles.

117
00:13:02,866 --> 00:13:06,328
- Staying with us?
- Willingly!

118
00:13:06,495 --> 00:13:08,205
But let's remake that hearth.

119
00:13:11,374 --> 00:13:13,376
Still, it's a good life here.

120
00:13:13,794 --> 00:13:17,923
You want a blackbird?
Just use the sling.

121
00:13:18,089 --> 00:13:23,178
You want a hare?
Just set a snare.

122
00:13:23,345 --> 00:13:27,265
Understand the ways of Nature.
That's the secret of it.

123
00:13:27,432 --> 00:13:30,435
But that's just what
makes it so exciting.

124
00:13:30,602 --> 00:13:35,315
The simple life.
Why don't we stay here forever?

125
00:13:35,732 --> 00:13:38,610
Don't you want to see
your mother again?

126
00:13:38,777 --> 00:13:41,029
Of course I want to.

127
00:13:41,196 --> 00:13:46,368
But think, I spent my life
cooped in a house.

128
00:13:46,535 --> 00:13:50,539
Like living in a cupboard.
I'm staying here.

129
00:13:50,705 --> 00:13:51,915
And women?

130
00:13:52,082 --> 00:13:54,626
I'm old, I don't care.
But you're young.

131
00:13:54,793 --> 00:13:57,212
We could bring a beauty here.

132
00:13:57,379 --> 00:13:59,422
We could easily feed her.

133
00:13:59,589 --> 00:14:02,634
And she could help
with the cooking.

134
00:14:02,801 --> 00:14:08,640
It wouldn't be long
before you quarreled over her.

135
00:14:09,724 --> 00:14:11,601
If we had everything:

136
00:14:11,768 --> 00:14:14,729
bread, salt, brandy,
women, tobacco,

137
00:14:14,896 --> 00:14:17,482
then this place
would become a town.

138
00:14:17,649 --> 00:14:20,277
Better to go back to
Marseilles, clear it out.

139
00:14:20,443 --> 00:14:22,362
Get rid of the aristocrats,

140
00:14:22,529 --> 00:14:25,240
and profit from
our parents' efforts.

141
00:14:26,074 --> 00:14:27,576
Friends!

142
00:14:27,742 --> 00:14:28,702
Here's Paget!

143
00:14:29,953 --> 00:14:31,580
Is that how you keep watch?

144
00:14:31,746 --> 00:14:35,000
Why bother?
No one ever comes here.

145
00:14:35,166 --> 00:14:36,626
What have you brought?

146
00:14:36,793 --> 00:14:41,590
All a poor priest can afford.
Bread, cheese, tobacco.

147
00:14:41,756 --> 00:14:43,383
It's wonderful bread.

148
00:14:43,550 --> 00:14:46,261
Thank God you're
Arnaud's friend.

149
00:14:46,428 --> 00:14:48,930
That's not why he helps us.

150
00:14:50,932 --> 00:14:53,476
I've had enough
of starving, too.

151
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:56,479
Our plight...

152
00:14:57,606 --> 00:15:01,610
would touch even the stones
beneath our tattered shoes.

153
00:15:01,776 --> 00:15:03,695
Turn your rabbit,
it's scorching.

154
00:15:03,862 --> 00:15:06,948
Who's cooking it, you or me?

155
00:15:07,115 --> 00:15:09,868
You can't talk to him,
now he thinks he's a cook.

156
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:13,830
For a year,
my vicarage has been windowless.

157
00:15:15,081 --> 00:15:17,500
But the bishop
lives in a palace,

158
00:15:17,918 --> 00:15:19,502
keeps mistresses,

159
00:15:19,669 --> 00:15:23,340
leads a debauched life
that shames a servant of Christ.

160
00:15:23,757 --> 00:15:27,135
He's just a lad of 22.

161
00:15:27,302 --> 00:15:29,596
Noble lads aren't
like ordinary ones.

162
00:15:30,305 --> 00:15:32,557
Us folk, when we father a child,

163
00:15:32,724 --> 00:15:36,645
we pass on our
features or color of hair.

164
00:15:36,811 --> 00:15:40,190
But a nobleman,
without further effort,

165
00:15:40,357 --> 00:15:42,692
passes on every
imaginable talent,

166
00:15:42,859 --> 00:15:45,487
political, military, ecclesiastic.

167
00:15:45,654 --> 00:15:49,574
Without learning anything,
the offspring knows everything.

168
00:15:49,741 --> 00:15:52,911
We priests are like
sergeants in the army.

169
00:15:53,328 --> 00:15:57,707
Like sergeants, we have no
hope of becoming officers.

170
00:15:58,208 --> 00:16:01,503
I'm glad I'm a widower
and my children are dead.

171
00:16:01,670 --> 00:16:06,049
Ordinary folk should refuse
to have more children.

172
00:16:06,841 --> 00:16:08,677
Isn't your rabbit cooked now?

173
00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:11,888
I think you're right.

174
00:16:23,692 --> 00:16:25,026
Paget!

175
00:16:32,993 --> 00:16:36,162
- Seen the smoke?
- This one?

176
00:16:36,579 --> 00:16:40,291
That's the Château de Bigeor
burning over there.

177
00:16:41,334 --> 00:16:45,755
The other place
belongs to my bishop's brother.

178
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:48,383
Children,

179
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,177
the time is ripe for
you to return.

180
00:16:52,012 --> 00:16:53,388
We need you.

181
00:16:55,682 --> 00:16:59,477
The aristos must be
feeling pretty sick.

182
00:17:00,854 --> 00:17:03,982
I wouldn't like it if
my house was burnt.

183
00:17:04,399 --> 00:17:07,068
Would you like ten years
in the gallows?

184
00:17:07,235 --> 00:17:10,113
The nobles have taught
us bad habits.

185
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,574
They made us cruel
in their image.

186
00:17:13,116 --> 00:17:16,661
They're reaping.
Reaping what they sowed.

187
00:17:16,828 --> 00:17:19,080
They are like invisible
witnesses.

188
00:17:19,247 --> 00:17:24,502
It's not their fault. It's their
God-given nature to do evil.

189
00:17:24,669 --> 00:17:28,506
But now we're ready
to get rid of them.

190
00:17:29,632 --> 00:17:31,926
I'm sorry now my
children are dead.

191
00:17:32,552 --> 00:17:36,264
Because you young ones
will build a new life.

192
00:17:42,437 --> 00:17:43,772
Good-bye, my friends.

193
00:17:44,898 --> 00:17:46,775
Whatever you do, stand fast.

194
00:17:47,567 --> 00:17:50,612
- Good-bye, Chamois.
- Good-bye, my friend.

195
00:17:52,072 --> 00:17:56,493
Good-bye, Chamois! I won't
forget what you taught me.

196
00:17:56,659 --> 00:17:59,913
Give me that.
You'll get guns in town.

197
00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:27,023
OCTOBER 1790

198
00:18:50,463 --> 00:18:52,298
Arnaud, of the Young Citizens.

199
00:18:53,466 --> 00:18:55,009
Got your card, Bomier?

200
00:18:55,176 --> 00:18:57,345
What for? Don't you know me?

201
00:18:57,512 --> 00:18:59,097
I shouldn't let you in.

202
00:18:59,264 --> 00:19:03,268
What's all this bureaucracy
got to do with revolution?

203
00:19:03,434 --> 00:19:06,312
It's all your writers
and book-learners

204
00:19:06,479 --> 00:19:09,774
inventing paperwork
to make yourselves important.

205
00:19:09,941 --> 00:19:13,695
You can't make order with
disorder. Come on, let's go.

206
00:19:13,862 --> 00:19:17,866
Respectable people
are attacked on the streets!

207
00:19:18,032 --> 00:19:21,870
The Mayor of Marseilles
does nothing!

208
00:19:22,036 --> 00:19:23,788
Yes, we want order
in our streets!

209
00:19:23,955 --> 00:19:26,583
The reactionaries are
dictating the law!

210
00:19:26,749 --> 00:19:29,419
The rich should pay taxes!

211
00:19:32,088 --> 00:19:34,382
We dockers of Marseilles,

212
00:19:34,549 --> 00:19:37,468
disciplined workers
and opponents of violence,

213
00:19:37,635 --> 00:19:42,223
stopped the looting of tax
collector Rebuffet's property.

214
00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:46,394
We stamp out crimes
against public order

215
00:19:46,561 --> 00:19:50,356
committed by reactionaries
in defiance of the people.

216
00:19:52,275 --> 00:19:53,943
He's right!

217
00:19:54,110 --> 00:19:57,530
Therefore we offer you
our wholehearted support.

218
00:19:59,699 --> 00:20:02,452
I now call upon
Citizen Moissant.

219
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,581
Citizen Moissant
will sum up the situation.

220
00:20:06,748 --> 00:20:08,291
To sum it up:

221
00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:11,753
just as we witness
an admirable scene,

222
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,173
king and nation united
in the public weal,

223
00:20:15,340 --> 00:20:18,718
a handful of troublemakers
compromise the Revolution.

224
00:20:24,140 --> 00:20:28,394
In their business houses,
they work to force up prices.

225
00:20:28,561 --> 00:20:30,230
In government,

226
00:20:30,396 --> 00:20:33,733
they plot against
nationally important measures.

227
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:35,777
And they are in the army.

228
00:20:35,944 --> 00:20:40,448
Here in Marseilles,
we have the three forts

229
00:20:40,615 --> 00:20:43,660
held by officers
hostile to king and people.

230
00:20:45,912 --> 00:20:47,789
Threatening the town
with cannons,

231
00:20:47,956 --> 00:20:51,542
those troublemakers
insult and harry all patriots!

232
00:20:56,798 --> 00:20:59,008
By agreement with
the new municipality,

233
00:20:59,175 --> 00:21:00,718
we citizens of Marseilles,

234
00:21:00,885 --> 00:21:04,722
members of the civic guard
and patriotic groups,

235
00:21:04,889 --> 00:21:06,766
have decided to
seize these forts

236
00:21:06,933 --> 00:21:09,936
and place them under our
own elected authorities!

237
00:21:24,492 --> 00:21:27,704
Books are always describing
magnificent dawns.

238
00:21:27,870 --> 00:21:30,790
Because writers are
still in bed then.

239
00:21:30,957 --> 00:21:36,004
The majority of dawns are cold,
gray, with miserable colors.

240
00:21:36,170 --> 00:21:38,172
I'm a painter, so I know.

241
00:21:38,339 --> 00:21:40,508
Do you paint portraits?

242
00:21:41,301 --> 00:21:43,261
I paint the heroes of antiquity,

243
00:21:43,428 --> 00:21:47,432
Romans, Spartans and
such patriots.

244
00:21:47,598 --> 00:21:51,185
I've given up the aristocrats'
shepherds and shepherdesses.

245
00:21:51,352 --> 00:21:53,479
Javel, Ardisson...

246
00:21:54,522 --> 00:21:55,898
you can start now.

247
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:07,702
- How are you doing, Diogenes?
- Fine!

248
00:22:07,869 --> 00:22:09,829
- Good.
- Let's go.

249
00:22:29,432 --> 00:22:31,934
You there, open up!

250
00:22:32,101 --> 00:22:34,812
- What do you want?
- We've got some wine!

251
00:22:35,229 --> 00:22:38,566
- Who sent it?
- Ravel.

252
00:22:38,733 --> 00:22:42,779
It's a present from
the municipality.

253
00:22:42,945 --> 00:22:46,366
Go round by the main gate.

254
00:23:27,990 --> 00:23:30,576
- Unload your barrel here.
- Not further on?

255
00:23:30,743 --> 00:23:32,203
Mind your own business.

256
00:23:33,996 --> 00:23:35,415
Gently now.

257
00:23:39,293 --> 00:23:41,421
Why so careful?

258
00:23:41,587 --> 00:23:44,715
Can't you see it's
an old barrel?

259
00:23:44,882 --> 00:23:47,176
Anyway, it doesn't do
to shake up wine.

260
00:23:47,593 --> 00:23:50,638
There's something fishy
about you two.

261
00:23:50,805 --> 00:23:52,598
Get going!

262
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,227
You old misery.

263
00:23:56,394 --> 00:23:59,313
You might offer us a drink.

264
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,316
I've got my orders. Go on!

265
00:24:02,483 --> 00:24:04,444
Shake hands at least, comrade.

266
00:24:05,528 --> 00:24:06,821
What are you doing?

267
00:24:06,988 --> 00:24:09,407
The nation has just
seized the fort!

268
00:24:12,869 --> 00:24:15,121
Come along now!
Hand over your rifles!

269
00:24:18,749 --> 00:24:22,170
That's the spirit!
Take it, Javel.

270
00:24:22,336 --> 00:24:24,464
He doesn't know
what to do with it.

271
00:24:47,445 --> 00:24:50,156
- Ardisson, guard the door.
- Don't worry.

272
00:24:50,698 --> 00:24:52,950
You two, here.
Give him your gun.

273
00:24:53,117 --> 00:24:56,037
You watch the prisoners.
Be careful, they're fierce.

274
00:24:56,204 --> 00:24:59,123
Quiet now, this is
the guard house.

275
00:25:13,930 --> 00:25:15,264
On your feet!

276
00:25:15,431 --> 00:25:17,350
Help! We're being
attacked by brigands!

277
00:25:17,517 --> 00:25:20,061
That's enough! Enough!

278
00:25:20,645 --> 00:25:23,898
Don't worry, you won't
come to any harm.

279
00:25:32,698 --> 00:25:35,535
Alert!

280
00:25:36,202 --> 00:25:37,954
Fix bayonets!

281
00:25:38,955 --> 00:25:40,790
Save useless bloodshed.

282
00:25:41,207 --> 00:25:43,751
You had better surrender,
sergeant.

283
00:25:44,377 --> 00:25:46,587
- How many are you?
- At least 2000.

284
00:25:46,754 --> 00:25:49,298
In that case, lay down
your arms, men!

285
00:25:50,216 --> 00:25:54,679
Arnaud, I'm going to the cells
to look for Cuculière.

286
00:25:54,845 --> 00:25:55,930
Yes, go on.

287
00:25:56,389 --> 00:25:58,140
- Here, Cornil!
- It's you!

288
00:25:58,307 --> 00:26:01,602
What a pleasure to see you!

289
00:26:01,769 --> 00:26:03,729
I didn't know you
were in the army.

290
00:26:03,896 --> 00:26:07,942
We both come from
the same place.

291
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,364
- What are you doing?
- Can't you see?

292
00:26:13,531 --> 00:26:14,615
I'm keeping guard.

293
00:26:16,450 --> 00:26:17,785
Who told you to?

294
00:26:17,952 --> 00:26:20,788
I'm using my own initiative.

295
00:26:20,955 --> 00:26:22,164
Have you a leader?

296
00:26:22,790 --> 00:26:26,085
His name's Arnaud. He's inside.

297
00:26:40,308 --> 00:26:41,851
Who's that?

298
00:26:42,018 --> 00:26:44,312
The Marquis de Saint-Laurent.

299
00:26:44,478 --> 00:26:47,648
Commandant of the Marseilles
forts. He's a good fellow.

300
00:26:47,815 --> 00:26:48,899
- Here.
- Thanks.

301
00:26:49,609 --> 00:26:51,235
How goes it, Marquis?

302
00:26:54,113 --> 00:26:57,575
I've seen some strange things
in my military career,

303
00:26:57,742 --> 00:27:01,370
but this... this is a new one.

304
00:27:01,787 --> 00:27:03,706
- How many prisoners?
- Twenty-two.

305
00:27:03,873 --> 00:27:05,750
- How many political prisoners?
- All.

306
00:27:05,916 --> 00:27:07,585
So much for the
lettres de cachet.

307
00:27:08,461 --> 00:27:10,212
You are Monsieur Arnaud?

308
00:27:10,379 --> 00:27:11,964
Citizen Arnaud.

309
00:27:12,548 --> 00:27:14,925
I am Commandant of
the forts of Marseilles

310
00:27:15,092 --> 00:27:17,762
and thus responsible
to His Majesty.

311
00:27:17,928 --> 00:27:23,017
I must ask you to surrender
your arms and retire.

312
00:27:44,997 --> 00:27:46,916
What's the matter?

313
00:27:47,083 --> 00:27:48,292
It's my eyes.

314
00:27:48,709 --> 00:27:51,045
All the prisoners
suffer the same.

315
00:27:51,504 --> 00:27:53,756
The doctor says he can't help.

316
00:27:54,173 --> 00:27:56,759
It's the damp walls
that cause it.

317
00:27:57,176 --> 00:27:59,428
What are you doing here?

318
00:27:59,595 --> 00:28:02,807
- We've captured the fort.
- Well, well!

319
00:28:03,516 --> 00:28:08,604
That's really good news.
Yes, it's good news.

320
00:28:09,021 --> 00:28:10,856
What about Arnaud?

321
00:28:11,273 --> 00:28:12,983
Don't you worry about him.

322
00:28:13,150 --> 00:28:15,486
He's all right.
Come on, let's go.

323
00:28:20,157 --> 00:28:22,159
Long live the nation!

324
00:28:30,376 --> 00:28:34,088
You justify what I consider
acts of rebellion

325
00:28:34,630 --> 00:28:36,507
with words I don't understand.

326
00:28:36,924 --> 00:28:41,721
The nation, citizens...
what is all this?

327
00:28:42,138 --> 00:28:45,433
The nation is the fraternal
union of all Frenchmen.

328
00:28:45,975 --> 00:28:48,185
It's you, me.

329
00:28:48,936 --> 00:28:50,604
The people passing by.

330
00:28:55,192 --> 00:28:56,986
That fisherman and his boat.

331
00:28:58,612 --> 00:29:01,282
Citizens are the people
who comprise the nation.

332
00:29:01,449 --> 00:29:03,617
I have nothing to do
with these people.

333
00:29:03,784 --> 00:29:06,078
It's a new religion
I cannot acknowledge.

334
00:29:06,245 --> 00:29:08,706
I serve the king, that is all.

335
00:29:08,873 --> 00:29:12,209
Or what you imagine
to be serving the king.

336
00:29:21,510 --> 00:29:25,306
When a king is prisoner
of his unruly subjects,

337
00:29:25,473 --> 00:29:27,558
no longer able to rule freely,

338
00:29:27,725 --> 00:29:31,103
his loyal servants
can only "imagine."

339
00:29:33,063 --> 00:29:34,356
Permit me a question:

340
00:29:34,523 --> 00:29:36,650
what are you going
to do with me?

341
00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:40,029
Wish you a happy
journey to the frontier.

342
00:29:40,696 --> 00:29:42,490
A pleasant stay...

343
00:29:43,574 --> 00:29:45,117
in Germany.

344
00:29:45,951 --> 00:29:47,661
And hope we never meet again.

345
00:29:57,129 --> 00:30:01,884
GUESTS ARE REQUESTED
TO PAY A WEEK IN ADVANCE

346
00:30:02,051 --> 00:30:05,638
<i>O, how sweet</i>

347
00:30:05,805 --> 00:30:10,935
<i>Is my remembrance</i>

348
00:30:11,352 --> 00:30:14,480
<i>Of the place</i>

349
00:30:14,647 --> 00:30:19,902
<i>Where I was born</i>

350
00:30:20,402 --> 00:30:25,199
<i>How sweet they were, my sister</i>

351
00:30:25,366 --> 00:30:29,912
<i>Those days in far-off France</i>

352
00:30:30,704 --> 00:30:34,333
<i>May my homeland</i>

353
00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:39,129
<i>Ever be my love</i>

354
00:30:39,296 --> 00:30:42,550
<i>Forever</i>

355
00:30:48,013 --> 00:30:53,936
<i>May my homeland
ever be my love</i>

356
00:30:54,103 --> 00:30:57,857
<i>Forever</i>

357
00:30:58,315 --> 00:31:02,194
<i>O, who will restore me</i>

358
00:31:02,361 --> 00:31:06,407
<i>To my Hélène?</i>

359
00:31:06,574 --> 00:31:10,160
<i>Who will restore the mountain?</i>

360
00:31:10,327 --> 00:31:14,790
<i>Who will restore the oak?</i>

361
00:31:14,957 --> 00:31:18,002
<i>Their memory</i>

362
00:31:18,168 --> 00:31:23,883
<i>Pains me every day</i>

363
00:31:48,616 --> 00:31:50,993
Madame, that song
is deeply moving.

364
00:31:51,785 --> 00:31:53,621
It reminds me of our Provence.

365
00:31:53,787 --> 00:31:57,499
Forgive me. It always
fills my eyes with tears.

366
00:31:58,125 --> 00:32:01,420
Madame de Saint-Laurent,
the time for regrets is past.

367
00:32:01,587 --> 00:32:03,881
- You will see your France again.
- When?

368
00:32:04,506 --> 00:32:06,050
In three weeks, Monsieur.

369
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:07,843
At last.

370
00:32:13,515 --> 00:32:17,394
Monsieur de Boihue,
will you rejoin your Company

371
00:32:17,561 --> 00:32:20,064
or be transferred
to the General Staff?

372
00:32:20,689 --> 00:32:23,400
I have requested
to serve as a private.

373
00:32:24,068 --> 00:32:28,989
Only one thing troubles me:
my insolently yawning shoes.

374
00:32:29,156 --> 00:32:32,993
No matter. To serve His Majesty,
one may go barefoot.

375
00:32:33,452 --> 00:32:37,039
My dear Boihue, your shoes
will hold out till Paris.

376
00:32:37,831 --> 00:32:40,250
The expedition will
be a mere stroll.

377
00:32:40,417 --> 00:32:44,546
I can see it now.
His Highness the Count d'Artois,

378
00:32:44,713 --> 00:32:48,384
seated nonchalantly
in his carriage.

379
00:32:48,550 --> 00:32:53,222
Before him the doors will open,
the populace will kneel.

380
00:32:53,639 --> 00:32:55,349
The people, delivered at last,

381
00:32:55,516 --> 00:32:59,603
acclaim the white flag
and the fleur-de-lys.

382
00:32:59,770 --> 00:33:02,648
If there is fighting, the
revolutionaries will collapse.

383
00:33:02,815 --> 00:33:05,985
One does not make war with
weavers, cobblers and layers.

384
00:33:06,402 --> 00:33:08,404
You forget one thing,
my dear friends.

385
00:33:08,570 --> 00:33:10,280
What, my dear Saint-Laurent?

386
00:33:10,447 --> 00:33:14,159
The French have not always
been beaten. They will resist.

387
00:33:14,326 --> 00:33:15,703
Really!

388
00:33:16,370 --> 00:33:19,581
At Rosbach, during the
Seven Years War,

389
00:33:19,748 --> 00:33:22,042
who resisted the Prussians?

390
00:33:22,918 --> 00:33:26,046
You know the jest
about Marshal Soubise.

391
00:33:26,588 --> 00:33:28,924
Holding up a lantern,
Soubise wondered:

392
00:33:29,091 --> 00:33:32,302
"Where the devil is my army?

393
00:33:32,469 --> 00:33:36,974
I saw it yesterday. Is it
captured, or have I mislaid it?"

394
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,979
This time, we have
the Prussians with us.

395
00:33:42,104 --> 00:33:44,648
We are commanded by
the Duke of Brunswick.

396
00:33:44,815 --> 00:33:47,776
The great victor of that
Seven Year War!

397
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,654
I just simply adore
the Prussians!

398
00:33:50,821 --> 00:33:53,198
Since the blessed day
I learned they were with us,

399
00:33:53,365 --> 00:33:55,576
I sing their praises!

400
00:33:56,577 --> 00:34:00,956
I had the joy and honor
of meeting the King of Prussia.

401
00:34:01,373 --> 00:34:03,250
But perhaps I have
told you already?

402
00:34:03,417 --> 00:34:04,460
Yes.

403
00:34:04,626 --> 00:34:06,503
Now there is a man!

404
00:34:06,670 --> 00:34:09,465
A true Achilles, an Agamemnon!

405
00:34:09,631 --> 00:34:11,675
He weighs at least 200 pounds.

406
00:34:11,842 --> 00:34:16,138
Seeing him, even Jacobin bigots
can't say all men are equal.

407
00:34:16,805 --> 00:34:18,515
Long live Prussia
and the Prussians!

408
00:34:18,682 --> 00:34:21,643
Madame, I cannot
share your enthusiasm.

409
00:34:22,061 --> 00:34:26,023
After noisily proclaiming
our championship of Catholicism,

410
00:34:26,190 --> 00:34:29,985
it seems slightly indecent to soil
ourselves with these heretics.

411
00:34:30,152 --> 00:34:32,529
It is the marriage of
carp and rabbit.

412
00:34:32,696 --> 00:34:36,116
At least, let us not
be ungracious rabbits.

413
00:34:36,283 --> 00:34:38,827
Let us render thanks
to the generous carp

414
00:34:38,994 --> 00:34:41,330
who saves us from starvation.

415
00:34:41,497 --> 00:34:43,082
Of course.

416
00:34:43,248 --> 00:34:46,168
Of course, this hotel
is not Versailles.

417
00:34:47,294 --> 00:34:51,173
But without heretics, we
would be sleeping in the street.

418
00:34:51,340 --> 00:34:55,344
Above all, thanks to them
we shall return to France.

419
00:34:55,511 --> 00:34:57,471
That is precisely what irks me.

420
00:34:57,638 --> 00:35:01,266
We arrived two years ago.
Everything was beautiful and pure,

421
00:35:01,433 --> 00:35:04,436
without question
of soliciting aid from strangers.

422
00:35:04,603 --> 00:35:07,147
We sought to uphold ideas

423
00:35:07,314 --> 00:35:09,900
we thought essential
to our country's greatness.

424
00:35:10,067 --> 00:35:13,153
We sought to uphold them
by our own efforts.

425
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,823
Dirty linen should
be washed in private.

426
00:35:15,989 --> 00:35:18,242
Now you invite your
neighbors to assist.

427
00:35:18,408 --> 00:35:20,869
They may well make
off with a few items.

428
00:35:21,036 --> 00:35:26,375
A drowning man can well yield
his watch to his rescuer.

429
00:35:26,542 --> 00:35:30,629
Your scruples would be
more fitting in commoners,

430
00:35:30,796 --> 00:35:35,134
peasants or artisans
from some place or other.

431
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:38,095
Their views are
necessarily limited.

432
00:35:38,262 --> 00:35:41,390
Their greatest journey
is to the next village

433
00:35:41,557 --> 00:35:45,561
and they're bound to marry
their neighbor's daughter.

434
00:35:45,727 --> 00:35:49,314
Their children
will never know other horizons.

435
00:35:49,481 --> 00:35:53,652
One can see why these people
gargle about "the nation."

436
00:35:53,819 --> 00:35:57,322
Shall I tell you what it is,
their "nation"?

437
00:35:57,489 --> 00:36:01,201
The rabble united
against people of quality.

438
00:36:01,368 --> 00:36:04,454
I know another
definition of "nation."

439
00:36:04,872 --> 00:36:06,582
It was given to
me at Marseilles,

440
00:36:06,748 --> 00:36:09,918
by the man who deprived
me of my command.

441
00:36:10,335 --> 00:36:11,879
His name was Arnaud.

442
00:36:12,045 --> 00:36:15,632
He had the style of a gentleman,
yet he was a patriot.

443
00:36:15,799 --> 00:36:20,387
If there are many like him,
we'll not have an easy task.

444
00:36:20,554 --> 00:36:22,890
Monsieur de Porquerolles,
Monsieur de Saint-Laurent,

445
00:36:23,056 --> 00:36:26,310
pray cease your historical
discussions at once.

446
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:30,147
We require you to settle
a dispute of great importance.

447
00:36:30,314 --> 00:36:31,773
Let's go.

448
00:36:32,733 --> 00:36:35,944
At Versailles, in the third
figure of the gavotte,

449
00:36:36,111 --> 00:36:38,614
does one look right in
turning right, or left?

450
00:36:38,780 --> 00:36:40,908
But it's very simple. Here.

451
00:36:45,537 --> 00:36:48,415
How incredible.
I have forgotten.

452
00:36:49,208 --> 00:36:50,584
Do you remember?

453
00:36:50,751 --> 00:36:52,628
Forgive me, but I am no expert.

454
00:36:52,794 --> 00:36:55,797
Ask Boihue, that
pillar of the Trianon.

455
00:36:55,964 --> 00:36:57,132
Good idea.

456
00:36:58,300 --> 00:36:59,718
It is very simple.

457
00:36:59,885 --> 00:37:02,804
Keep your eyes fixed
on your partner

458
00:37:02,971 --> 00:37:05,766
while looking
over your shoulder.

459
00:37:33,460 --> 00:37:37,756
APRIL 1792

460
00:37:44,596 --> 00:37:45,973
Who goes there?

461
00:37:46,682 --> 00:37:49,309
Sorry, citizen.
I thought it was the Austrians.

462
00:37:49,476 --> 00:37:51,228
They aren't far away.

463
00:37:52,312 --> 00:37:53,522
Where are you from?

464
00:37:53,689 --> 00:37:55,899
Grandes Mottes,
on the Mons road.

465
00:37:56,066 --> 00:37:58,485
Some snipers fired
on the Austrians,

466
00:37:58,652 --> 00:38:01,196
so they burned our village,
arrested the men.

467
00:38:01,363 --> 00:38:03,532
They took my husband
and hanged him.

468
00:38:04,116 --> 00:38:06,410
Is it true there are
Frenchmen with them?

469
00:38:06,576 --> 00:38:09,871
Yes, they're aristocrats.
The army of Coblentz.

470
00:38:10,038 --> 00:38:11,206
It's shameful.

471
00:38:11,373 --> 00:38:14,751
Why don't you and your child
rest here by the fire?

472
00:38:14,918 --> 00:38:19,131
Aren't you ashamed to rest
while they hang and burn?

473
00:38:19,298 --> 00:38:23,051
I'd like to know what our
army's doing to protect us.

474
00:38:23,218 --> 00:38:26,930
They say the Austrians
laugh at your disappearing acts.

475
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,442
- Did you hear?
- Yes.

476
00:38:38,859 --> 00:38:40,110
She's right.

477
00:38:43,822 --> 00:38:45,407
Is your crow cooked?

478
00:38:47,659 --> 00:38:50,537
It's as tough as an old boot.

479
00:38:51,246 --> 00:38:52,414
It's an old crow.

480
00:38:52,581 --> 00:38:56,209
Still, it's food. No use relying
on La Fayette's rations.

481
00:38:56,376 --> 00:38:59,880
Damn aristocrats. They betray
the country and let us starve.

482
00:39:00,047 --> 00:39:01,590
What about Rochambeau?

483
00:39:02,007 --> 00:39:04,885
Do you know him?

484
00:39:06,178 --> 00:39:09,306
The general? I haven't
had the honor.

485
00:39:09,931 --> 00:39:12,684
But I know Marat.
I spoke to him in Rouen once.

486
00:39:12,851 --> 00:39:15,729
When we Parisians
arrived at Tournai,

487
00:39:15,896 --> 00:39:18,940
that Rochambeau lined
us up on the square.

488
00:39:19,107 --> 00:39:23,320
After marching all day,
we weren't exactly pretty.

489
00:39:23,487 --> 00:39:26,531
And we hadn't shaved
since leaving Paris.

490
00:39:26,698 --> 00:39:29,368
We all had a beard like
the Wandering Jew.

491
00:39:29,534 --> 00:39:31,661
Well, this Rochambeau

492
00:39:31,828 --> 00:39:36,083
came out wiping his mouth
with a serviette.

493
00:39:36,249 --> 00:39:38,293
He'd been stuffing his guts.

494
00:39:38,460 --> 00:39:42,756
He looked us over slowly,
taking his time,

495
00:39:42,923 --> 00:39:45,926
just as if we had
full bellies, too.

496
00:39:46,093 --> 00:39:50,138
Then he said,
with a sneer I'll never forget:

497
00:39:50,555 --> 00:39:53,809
"What am I supposed to do
with you? You're too small!"

498
00:39:53,975 --> 00:39:55,102
Small?

499
00:39:56,395 --> 00:39:58,522
- How tall are you?
- Nearly five feet.

500
00:39:58,939 --> 00:40:01,108
- A fine man.
- Finest in my trade.

501
00:40:01,274 --> 00:40:03,193
- What is it?
- I'm a house painter

502
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,446
in Les Batignolles, near Paris.

503
00:40:07,114 --> 00:40:07,948
And you?

504
00:40:08,115 --> 00:40:10,617
I'm a cooper from Darnetal,
near Rouen.

505
00:40:11,201 --> 00:40:14,454
Our fault, in the eyes
of these gentlemen,

506
00:40:14,621 --> 00:40:17,165
is that we're volunteers
in Republican blue.

507
00:40:17,332 --> 00:40:19,626
We trust our regimental
committees,

508
00:40:19,793 --> 00:40:24,506
the Assembly, Robespierre,
Marat. We're patriots!

509
00:40:24,673 --> 00:40:28,093
Nearly all the officers
are aristocrats.

510
00:40:28,260 --> 00:40:32,806
To me, anyone with a handle
to his name is a traitor.

511
00:40:32,973 --> 00:40:37,727
It wouldn't be so bad if they
openly supported the enemy.

512
00:40:38,228 --> 00:40:40,272
But while they scorn the nation,

513
00:40:40,439 --> 00:40:44,359
they don't scorn the money the
Assembly stupidly pays them.

514
00:40:44,526 --> 00:40:49,281
"I cash in and I betray!"
That's their motto.

515
00:40:51,950 --> 00:40:53,326
What's that?

516
00:40:53,493 --> 00:40:56,204
Hussars, heading to the east.

517
00:40:56,371 --> 00:40:58,915
- Surrendering to the Austrians!
- Really?

518
00:40:59,082 --> 00:41:00,792
It wouldn't be the first time.

519
00:41:00,959 --> 00:41:04,087
Remember the Berchany regiment?

520
00:41:04,254 --> 00:41:07,048
That was only last Tuesday.

521
00:41:07,215 --> 00:41:09,968
How much are the
Austrians offering

522
00:41:10,135 --> 00:41:14,181
per man and horse, eh, Judas?

523
00:41:14,347 --> 00:41:18,185
Vermin! I'll teach you to
watch your tongue.

524
00:41:18,351 --> 00:41:20,437
Clear off, or I'll fire!

525
00:41:20,604 --> 00:41:24,941
The more horses we kill the
fewer you'll sell the Austrians.

526
00:41:25,108 --> 00:41:26,776
We can't waste time here!

527
00:41:36,495 --> 00:41:38,205
Well, my old friend,

528
00:41:38,663 --> 00:41:41,082
if things don't change soon,

529
00:41:41,500 --> 00:41:44,586
what with the
Austrians and Paris...

530
00:41:45,879 --> 00:41:48,006
there'll be only the
two of us left.

531
00:41:51,176 --> 00:41:54,262
Citizens, my name
is Louise Vauclair.

532
00:41:54,429 --> 00:41:58,892
I sell fish by the harbor
and I pay my taxes.

533
00:41:59,059 --> 00:42:02,145
I have come to tell you
that on April 28th,

534
00:42:02,312 --> 00:42:05,023
near a town in the
north called Mons,

535
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,776
my lover, Antoine Givodan...

536
00:42:07,943 --> 00:42:09,569
My old friend Toni!

537
00:42:09,736 --> 00:42:11,780
Shut up! Carry on, citizen.

538
00:42:11,947 --> 00:42:13,073
Sit down.

539
00:42:13,865 --> 00:42:18,411
My lover, Antoine Givodan,
a volunteer of 1791,

540
00:42:18,578 --> 00:42:21,373
sergeant in the
49th Infantry Regiment,

541
00:42:21,957 --> 00:42:23,875
was killed by the Austrians.

542
00:42:26,545 --> 00:42:28,922
Citizen Antoine Besombe,

543
00:42:29,089 --> 00:42:31,174
trooper in the
6th Regiment of Dragoons,

544
00:42:31,341 --> 00:42:35,095
brought me the news
when he returned home wounded.

545
00:42:35,262 --> 00:42:38,723
He told me my lover was killed
fleeing from the enemy.

546
00:42:39,808 --> 00:42:43,478
Citizens, some of you here
may have known him.

547
00:42:43,895 --> 00:42:48,066
If so, you know Antoine Givodan
feared nothing.

548
00:42:49,067 --> 00:42:52,445
And if he fled,
it was because he was betrayed!

549
00:42:52,612 --> 00:42:54,948
- I knew Antoine Givodan!
- Me too.

550
00:42:55,115 --> 00:42:57,784
- Be quiet, my friend.
- He was a generous soul.

551
00:42:57,951 --> 00:43:01,663
I still owe him two crowns
he lent me at Santons Fair.

552
00:43:06,251 --> 00:43:11,798
Are we going to send
more men to death

553
00:43:11,965 --> 00:43:15,510
if their worst enemies are
in the rear, not at the front?

554
00:43:15,677 --> 00:43:19,055
Well said! Down with the
Austrian Committee!

555
00:43:19,681 --> 00:43:20,640
Enough!

556
00:43:20,807 --> 00:43:25,145
I'm not talking about aristos,
who seek their country's defeat,

557
00:43:25,312 --> 00:43:28,440
because defeat
would restore their privileges.

558
00:43:29,774 --> 00:43:32,861
I'm talking about the
king and the queen.

559
00:43:33,028 --> 00:43:35,030
I'm talking about the Assembly!

560
00:43:37,991 --> 00:43:39,993
His Majesty, Monsieur Veto

561
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,829
betrays because
he is a man of straw.

562
00:43:44,623 --> 00:43:47,709
Madame Veto betrays
because she is Austrian.

563
00:43:49,127 --> 00:43:51,630
Because she is arrogant!

564
00:43:52,714 --> 00:43:54,841
Because she hates France.

565
00:43:56,468 --> 00:44:00,388
She believes the armies
of her Austrian Emperor nephew

566
00:44:00,555 --> 00:44:03,016
will restore her to absolute power.

567
00:44:05,226 --> 00:44:08,521
She forgets that a nation
cannot be led like a husband.

568
00:44:09,814 --> 00:44:12,525
And that we women are here.

569
00:44:16,154 --> 00:44:19,324
The Assembly betrays
because it is afraid.

570
00:44:20,492 --> 00:44:23,745
These gentlemen are content
with revolution if it profits them.

571
00:44:24,412 --> 00:44:28,375
But if it profits the people
they rein in and cry anarchy!

572
00:44:33,713 --> 00:44:35,215
Just a word!

573
00:44:35,382 --> 00:44:39,594
Is it a woman's place
to say such things in the tribune?

574
00:44:39,761 --> 00:44:41,638
Yes!

575
00:44:41,805 --> 00:44:45,433
I say a woman's place
is in the house!

576
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,228
Your place is in the gallows!

577
00:44:49,312 --> 00:44:53,483
Throw that man out!
Show him the door!

578
00:44:58,029 --> 00:45:00,907
There's talk of sending
a battalion of Marseillais.

579
00:45:01,491 --> 00:45:04,744
First to Paris, then to the frontier.

580
00:45:04,911 --> 00:45:09,332
But we've heard so much talk
that we've become mistrustful.

581
00:45:10,083 --> 00:45:12,544
What we want is certainty.

582
00:45:13,044 --> 00:45:18,758
An assurance that our men,
before facing Austrian guns,

583
00:45:18,925 --> 00:45:21,302
will have dealt
with those criminal leaders...

584
00:45:24,264 --> 00:45:29,811
who place self-interest
before that of their country!

585
00:45:32,230 --> 00:45:37,360
Unless we have this assurance,
we will bar the way.

586
00:45:37,527 --> 00:45:41,698
Our volunteers will have to stop
or trample over us.

587
00:45:42,490 --> 00:45:46,327
I believe they will stop.

588
00:45:49,330 --> 00:45:52,292
Down with anarchists!
Down with Robespierre!

589
00:45:52,459 --> 00:45:53,668
Long live Robespierre!

590
00:45:53,835 --> 00:45:57,714
Your Robespierre has
neither eloquence nor dignity.

591
00:45:57,881 --> 00:45:59,841
In short, he's a Republican!

592
00:46:01,801 --> 00:46:05,430
No eloquence?
No dignity? Now listen!

593
00:46:22,030 --> 00:46:25,909
Citizens, are you
free men or slaves?

594
00:46:27,118 --> 00:46:31,915
Show respect for this Club of
Friends of the Constitution.

595
00:46:32,457 --> 00:46:36,252
This free tribune,
where Jacobin tradition demands

596
00:46:36,419 --> 00:46:38,838
that each have a
right to his say.

597
00:46:40,215 --> 00:46:42,759
I call on Citizen
Moissant to speak.

598
00:46:50,975 --> 00:46:53,520
I will tell you why
the city of Marseilles

599
00:46:53,686 --> 00:46:57,190
has decided to send a
voluntary battalion to the north.

600
00:46:57,982 --> 00:47:02,612
Like the battalions of our
Federates throughout France,

601
00:47:02,779 --> 00:47:06,908
it will represent the nation's
will before king and Assembly.

602
00:47:11,746 --> 00:47:16,960
Each volunteer will be sworn
to go first to Paris,

603
00:47:17,126 --> 00:47:22,048
to make contact with patriot
groups and authorities,

604
00:47:22,215 --> 00:47:26,594
and stay until patriot ministers
have been recalled.

605
00:47:32,934 --> 00:47:35,478
And measures taken
against refractory priests,

606
00:47:35,645 --> 00:47:39,691
against agents of foreign
powers, speculators...

607
00:47:42,777 --> 00:47:44,904
and other enemies
of the Revolution.

608
00:47:45,947 --> 00:47:51,578
Only after assuring
these nationally vital measures,

609
00:47:51,744 --> 00:47:55,290
will our federates march
to fight the foreign enemy.

610
00:47:55,456 --> 00:47:57,876
Foreign enemies to the gallows!

611
00:48:08,511 --> 00:48:11,097
To forestall our adversaries,

612
00:48:11,264 --> 00:48:14,601
who will not fail to paint us
in the blackest colors...

613
00:48:17,228 --> 00:48:20,690
the city has decided
that admission to the battalion

614
00:48:20,857 --> 00:48:23,735
will be granted to completely
honorable citizens only.

615
00:48:26,613 --> 00:48:30,617
Volunteers must prove
they have no criminal record.

616
00:48:30,783 --> 00:48:35,330
Their families must be well
provided for in their absence.

617
00:48:36,456 --> 00:48:39,000
They must swear
they have no debts.

618
00:48:39,167 --> 00:48:43,546
The expedition will be
no excuse to shrink obligations.

619
00:48:45,590 --> 00:48:48,009
They must have
served in the army,

620
00:48:48,176 --> 00:48:50,970
the National Guard
or a civil formation.

621
00:48:56,017 --> 00:48:59,604
We now open the
first enlistment register.

622
00:48:59,771 --> 00:49:04,817
Heroes of the South, saviors
of the North, answer the call!

623
00:49:06,027 --> 00:49:10,865
<i>Come on!
String up the aristocrats!</i>

624
00:49:11,032 --> 00:49:15,411
<i>Come on! We'll get the aristos!</i>

625
00:49:33,805 --> 00:49:36,516
What are you
waiting for, Bomier?

626
00:49:36,683 --> 00:49:38,518
Aren't you coming?

627
00:49:39,352 --> 00:49:41,604
So you're not going?

628
00:49:42,855 --> 00:49:44,899
You're letting us
go alone to Paris?

629
00:49:45,066 --> 00:49:47,402
There'll be 500 of you.

630
00:49:47,568 --> 00:49:48,945
Is it your mother?

631
00:49:49,112 --> 00:49:51,572
- That business with Marie?
- Maybe.

632
00:49:52,407 --> 00:49:53,825
I don't understand.

633
00:49:53,992 --> 00:49:58,871
An old comrade,
a liberator of the town.

634
00:49:59,038 --> 00:50:01,457
You were all set to leave,

635
00:50:01,624 --> 00:50:04,669
dreaming of sacrifices
for your country.

636
00:50:05,128 --> 00:50:07,505
Yet now the time has come...

637
00:50:08,506 --> 00:50:10,008
you desert us.

638
00:50:10,174 --> 00:50:15,138
You can't talk about the king's
dependence on the queen.

639
00:50:15,304 --> 00:50:18,725
You sacrifice honor and dignity
for a woman, too.

640
00:50:19,726 --> 00:50:20,977
So long, Bomier.

641
00:50:21,394 --> 00:50:23,521
It's as though my
brother had died.

642
00:50:31,904 --> 00:50:33,823
HERE WE ARE PROUD
TO SPEAK FRENCH

643
00:50:33,990 --> 00:50:36,075
The Mouté boy is going, Aunt.

644
00:50:36,242 --> 00:50:37,618
Going where?

645
00:50:37,785 --> 00:50:40,747
To Paris. All the young
men are going.

646
00:50:40,913 --> 00:50:42,123
Yes, I know.

647
00:50:43,750 --> 00:50:44,959
Aren't you eating?

648
00:50:45,793 --> 00:50:47,795
The tomatoes are done
your favorite way.

649
00:50:47,962 --> 00:50:50,089
I'm not hungry. What about you?

650
00:50:50,256 --> 00:50:53,426
I'll eat after you.
You're the man of the house.

651
00:50:53,593 --> 00:50:58,806
What would your father say
if he saw a woman at the table?

652
00:50:58,973 --> 00:51:02,351
Those old customs are out
of date. Please sit down.

653
00:51:02,518 --> 00:51:05,354
I'm too old to change my ways.

654
00:51:07,356 --> 00:51:09,233
Why aren't you eating?

655
00:51:10,318 --> 00:51:12,862
Afraid to tell me you're
going to Paris?

656
00:51:13,029 --> 00:51:14,989
No, I'm not going.

657
00:51:16,991 --> 00:51:19,243
I'm glad you're being sensible.

658
00:51:19,410 --> 00:51:21,788
Where does all this
agitation get you?

659
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:26,918
Struggling against richer,
stronger, better armed people.

660
00:51:27,085 --> 00:51:29,712
You've bitten off
more than you can chew.

661
00:51:31,089 --> 00:51:35,176
Believe me, there'll always
be rich and poor.

662
00:51:35,343 --> 00:51:38,221
Your friends can't change that.

663
00:51:38,930 --> 00:51:42,183
Why don't you eat?

664
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,019
- Is something else the matter?
- Yes.

665
00:51:45,186 --> 00:51:47,188
It's because of that Marie.

666
00:51:50,358 --> 00:51:53,861
- What's wrong with Clémence?
- Are you blind?

667
00:51:55,863 --> 00:51:58,866
Trust men to go searching
for what's under their nose.

668
00:51:59,992 --> 00:52:03,246
What's that Marie done?
Run off again?

669
00:52:03,412 --> 00:52:05,706
Yes, but I don't care.

670
00:52:05,873 --> 00:52:07,291
Gone off with your money?

671
00:52:07,458 --> 00:52:11,462
No, I gave it to her
to buy a shop.

672
00:52:12,505 --> 00:52:14,006
Now I've got debts.

673
00:52:14,757 --> 00:52:18,177
And the battalion
won't take debtors.

674
00:52:21,848 --> 00:52:23,516
All my friends are going,

675
00:52:23,683 --> 00:52:27,061
Arnaud, Cuculière, Garnier,

676
00:52:27,228 --> 00:52:30,982
Moissant, Ardisson,
the pick of the town.

677
00:52:31,399 --> 00:52:35,319
They're like brothers to me
and I'm staying behind.

678
00:52:35,486 --> 00:52:38,531
They'll be in the thick
of things in Paris

679
00:52:38,698 --> 00:52:41,742
because things are going
to happen there.

680
00:52:42,243 --> 00:52:46,247
And I've got to stay
and eat my heart out here.

681
00:52:46,414 --> 00:52:48,541
Looking at the same old roofs.

682
00:52:48,708 --> 00:52:53,379
The same streets,
the same little bit of sea.

683
00:52:53,546 --> 00:52:55,923
I've looked at them so long,
I don't notice them.

684
00:52:56,924 --> 00:52:59,051
Well, listen, it's very simple.

685
00:52:59,218 --> 00:53:01,304
Just write to your
uncle at Cassis.

686
00:53:01,470 --> 00:53:05,558
Tell him to sell the
vineyard for us.

687
00:53:06,267 --> 00:53:08,936
He's got money,
he might buy it himself.

688
00:53:09,979 --> 00:53:13,357
You're head of the family,
you can do as you like.

689
00:53:16,027 --> 00:53:17,236
Thank you, Mom!

690
00:53:18,279 --> 00:53:19,947
I'll volunteer at once.

691
00:53:20,114 --> 00:53:23,367
I must be quick,
they're only taking 500.

692
00:53:40,468 --> 00:53:42,887
Please, shut the window.

693
00:54:10,915 --> 00:54:13,042
Do you agree to the
conditions of engagement?

694
00:54:13,876 --> 00:54:16,295
Do you swear you have no debts?

695
00:54:18,506 --> 00:54:20,132
Give me the quill!

696
00:54:22,677 --> 00:54:24,387
I've come to enlist.

697
00:54:31,811 --> 00:54:33,271
Quiet!

698
00:54:34,063 --> 00:54:35,690
- Your certificates?
- Here.

699
00:54:36,274 --> 00:54:38,734
Why haven't you
enlisted already?

700
00:54:38,901 --> 00:54:40,403
I was held up.

701
00:54:40,569 --> 00:54:42,697
Me, too. I was at Avignon.

702
00:54:43,447 --> 00:54:47,827
They commissioned a painting
of Brutus killing Caesar.

703
00:54:47,994 --> 00:54:49,245
Forward.

704
00:54:51,956 --> 00:54:55,710
With 1,500 citizens
in Roman costume,

705
00:54:55,876 --> 00:54:58,337
all clearly recognizable.

706
00:54:58,504 --> 00:55:02,341
We're just in time.
They've got 450 already.

707
00:55:02,508 --> 00:55:06,512
If they were less fussy,
they could have 100,000.

708
00:55:06,679 --> 00:55:07,763
Forward.

709
00:55:13,853 --> 00:55:15,646
- What's that?
- I don't know.

710
00:55:15,813 --> 00:55:18,357
A banquet in honor
of the Montpellier delegation.

711
00:55:18,524 --> 00:55:21,402
They say their battalion
is ready to march.

712
00:55:21,569 --> 00:55:23,446
Pity we can't go with them.

713
00:55:24,238 --> 00:55:27,199
I hear that near Tarascon,

714
00:55:27,366 --> 00:55:31,287
there's an army of
50,000 aristos led by priests.

715
00:55:31,454 --> 00:55:34,206
- Priests?
- Yes, refractory priests.

716
00:55:34,373 --> 00:55:37,251
- Think there are really 50,000?
- At least.

717
00:55:37,418 --> 00:55:38,836
Move on.

718
00:55:40,504 --> 00:55:43,132
Don't close the door.
Let's listen.

719
00:55:43,299 --> 00:55:47,136
<i>The day of glory has arrived</i>

720
00:55:47,303 --> 00:55:48,387
Who's singing?

721
00:55:48,554 --> 00:55:49,972
Mireur, of Montpellier.

722
00:55:50,139 --> 00:55:52,141
- What's the song?
- I don't know.

723
00:55:53,184 --> 00:55:54,685
Come on, move.

724
00:55:57,188 --> 00:56:01,233
<i>Bloody standard is raised</i>

725
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:05,696
<i>Listen to the sound
in the fields</i>

726
00:56:07,615 --> 00:56:09,825
- Farewell, Bomier.
- Farewell, Javel.

727
00:56:09,992 --> 00:56:12,495
- Next.
- Jean-Joseph Bomier.

728
00:56:12,995 --> 00:56:15,122
- Certificates?
- Here they are.

729
00:56:16,582 --> 00:56:20,586
Can you swear your family
is well-provided, without debts?

730
00:56:20,753 --> 00:56:22,296
I swear it on the nation!

731
00:56:23,172 --> 00:56:27,968
- Arnaud! Bomier signed up!
- Cuculière! I'm glad to see you.

732
00:56:29,470 --> 00:56:31,347
I was sure you'd come.

733
00:56:31,514 --> 00:56:35,059
Your signature, citizen.
What are you waiting for?

734
00:56:38,771 --> 00:56:43,984
<i>Water our furrows</i>

735
00:56:53,452 --> 00:56:57,415
Mireur's song wasn't bad
but it wasn't all that good.

736
00:56:57,581 --> 00:56:59,166
Go to the right!

737
00:56:59,333 --> 00:57:01,502
What does it mean:

738
00:57:02,169 --> 00:57:05,297
"To arms, citizens,
form battalions"?

739
00:57:05,464 --> 00:57:09,218
They make it difficult for
citizens to form battalions,

740
00:57:09,385 --> 00:57:11,720
if they are poor or in debt.

741
00:57:11,887 --> 00:57:14,140
You've got it all wrong.

742
00:57:14,306 --> 00:57:18,561
Well, I don't know.
It's a funny revolution.

743
00:57:18,727 --> 00:57:21,272
Only citizens who pay taxes

744
00:57:21,439 --> 00:57:23,649
can serve their country.

745
00:57:23,816 --> 00:57:27,695
Give the revolution time,
it's in its infancy.

746
00:57:27,862 --> 00:57:30,948
The rich started it,
but the poor will finish it.

747
00:57:31,115 --> 00:57:32,533
But when?

748
00:57:32,700 --> 00:57:35,536
I don't know.
We might not live to see it.

749
00:57:35,995 --> 00:57:38,289
Where does Mireur's
song come from?

750
00:57:38,706 --> 00:57:41,542
He heard a workers choir
sing it in Montpellier.

751
00:57:42,293 --> 00:57:46,005
They say a Jewish pedlar
heard it in Strasbourg.

752
00:57:46,505 --> 00:57:48,382
The Rhine Army War Song.

753
00:57:48,549 --> 00:57:51,969
Who made it up? The pedlar
or the Rhine soldiers?

754
00:57:52,970 --> 00:57:57,683
A sapper officer called
Des Isles, or De l'Isle.

755
00:57:57,850 --> 00:58:00,311
- Where's he from?
- I don't know.

756
00:58:00,478 --> 00:58:02,688
Not from the south.

757
00:58:03,105 --> 00:58:05,691
His song smells of the north.

758
00:58:06,358 --> 00:58:10,362
There's something brash
about it I don't like.

759
00:58:10,529 --> 00:58:12,198
What do you like, then?

760
00:58:12,364 --> 00:58:13,949
I'm no musician,

761
00:58:14,116 --> 00:58:17,828
but I think a song should
follow the rules of harmony.

762
00:58:17,995 --> 00:58:20,915
That's aristocrat stuff,
your rules of harmony.

763
00:58:21,415 --> 00:58:25,085
Well, that song bowled me over.

764
00:58:26,212 --> 00:58:29,798
It's like... an echo
of my own thoughts.

765
00:58:29,965 --> 00:58:32,051
I don't know what you see in it.

766
00:58:32,218 --> 00:58:36,055
It's a craze. Everyone will
forget it in two weeks.

767
00:58:37,681 --> 00:58:41,477
<i>To arms, citizens</i>

768
00:58:41,644 --> 00:58:45,397
<i>Form your battalions</i>

769
00:58:45,564 --> 00:58:49,777
<i>March, march</i>

770
00:58:49,944 --> 00:58:53,447
<i>Let impure blood</i>

771
00:58:53,614 --> 00:58:57,868
<i>Water our furrows</i>

772
00:59:18,222 --> 00:59:22,768
<i>Drive on sacred patriotism</i>

773
00:59:22,935 --> 00:59:27,481
<i>Support our avenging arms</i>

774
00:59:27,648 --> 00:59:32,111
<i>Liberty, cherished liberty</i>

775
00:59:32,278 --> 00:59:35,948
<i>Join the struggle
with your defenders</i>

776
00:59:36,115 --> 00:59:40,286
<i>Fight with your defenders</i>

777
00:59:40,452 --> 00:59:44,707
<i>Under our flags let victory</i>

778
00:59:44,873 --> 00:59:48,836
<i>Hurry to your manly tone</i>

779
00:59:49,003 --> 00:59:52,339
<i>So that in death your enemies</i>

780
00:59:52,506 --> 00:59:57,469
<i>See your triumph and our glory!</i>

781
01:00:06,979 --> 01:00:08,564
You're singing?

782
01:00:08,731 --> 01:00:11,108
I'm just singing because
everyone else is!

783
01:00:12,484 --> 01:00:14,278
Fall in!

784
01:00:17,698 --> 01:00:21,201
Fall in! Attention!

785
01:00:37,968 --> 01:00:39,136
So long, Rosette.

786
01:00:41,263 --> 01:00:43,390
I'll plant it along the way!

787
01:01:46,161 --> 01:01:47,913
- Do you understand?
- Yes.

788
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,625
All right, let's try it.
Two, three.

789
01:01:51,792 --> 01:01:55,170
<i>This band of slaves...</i>

790
01:01:55,337 --> 01:01:56,588
This horde!

791
01:01:56,755 --> 01:02:00,926
Band, horde, I don't
see any difference.

792
01:02:01,093 --> 01:02:04,096
Careful now. One, two, three.

793
01:02:04,263 --> 01:02:08,434
<i>This horde of slaves</i>

794
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:12,146
<i>Will conjugate the tyrant</i>

795
01:02:12,563 --> 01:02:14,106
Subjugate, damn it!

796
01:02:14,273 --> 01:02:16,316
Subjugate, conjugate...

797
01:02:16,483 --> 01:02:20,904
It's full of unpronounceable
words. I give up!

798
01:02:21,822 --> 01:02:24,825
Commandant, I am the
Dean of this town.

799
01:02:24,992 --> 01:02:28,662
I shall pray for the
success of your enterprise.

800
01:02:28,829 --> 01:02:31,915
You see the priest
speaking to Moissant?

801
01:02:32,666 --> 01:02:34,960
The vanguard of the
army of reaction.

802
01:02:35,919 --> 01:02:39,798
His poisonous tongue
is worse than the siren's song.

803
01:02:40,215 --> 01:02:44,219
Javel, you're a
hopeless pessimist.

804
01:02:45,012 --> 01:02:48,682
A man isn't reactionary
because he wears a cassock.

805
01:02:49,224 --> 01:02:52,478
Don't forget how priests
have helped the Revolution.

806
01:03:23,842 --> 01:03:25,844
Loading is executed
in 12 movements.

807
01:03:26,011 --> 01:03:29,389
Cool, calm loading
makes the best soldier.

808
01:03:29,556 --> 01:03:33,185
Hurried movements
will result in spilled powder.

809
01:03:33,352 --> 01:03:38,065
One: hold the weapon
exactly like this.

810
01:03:38,232 --> 01:03:41,276
Right hand holding the
small of the butt.

811
01:03:41,443 --> 01:03:43,529
Two: open the pan.

812
01:03:43,695 --> 01:03:45,572
Three: take the cartridge.

813
01:03:45,739 --> 01:03:47,908
Four: tear open the cartridge.

814
01:03:48,075 --> 01:03:51,870
Five: prime just enough powder
to fill the pan.

815
01:03:52,037 --> 01:03:54,373
Remember, an effective
shot depends on this.

816
01:03:54,540 --> 01:03:57,876
Spilled powder
doesn't help to fire the bullet.

817
01:03:58,043 --> 01:04:01,421
Nip cartridge paper
between thumb and forefinger.

818
01:04:01,588 --> 01:04:03,882
Six: close the pan.

819
01:04:04,049 --> 01:04:06,176
Seven: order arms on the left.

820
01:04:06,593 --> 01:04:08,804
Eight: cartridge in the barrel.

821
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:13,141
Nine: withdraw the ramrod,
avoid bending it.

822
01:04:13,308 --> 01:04:17,020
Ten: ram the charge firmly home.

823
01:04:17,396 --> 01:04:19,940
Eleven: replace the ramrod.

824
01:04:20,357 --> 01:04:23,443
Twelve: shoulder arms.

825
01:04:25,237 --> 01:04:30,075
A pair of rommy boots,
packed out with straw,

826
01:04:30,242 --> 01:04:32,828
and your feet will get to Paris
fresh as roses.

827
01:04:33,537 --> 01:04:35,122
Paper is better than straw.

828
01:04:35,289 --> 01:04:38,792
If only newspaper were cheaper.

829
01:04:38,959 --> 01:04:43,130
That's a lot of rubbish.
Nice soft tallow is best.

830
01:04:43,297 --> 01:04:46,174
Rub it between your toes,

831
01:04:46,341 --> 01:04:49,136
and your feet will take wing.

832
01:04:52,639 --> 01:04:57,269
I've found some kindling wood
like we use in Marseilles.

833
01:04:57,436 --> 01:05:01,773
We had one revolutionary
only, my nephew.

834
01:05:02,190 --> 01:05:06,403
He had to go off
secretly to Paris.

835
01:05:06,570 --> 01:05:08,739
Will you give him two messages?

836
01:05:08,906 --> 01:05:11,199
Where will I find him?

837
01:05:11,366 --> 01:05:15,120
In Paris, of course.
He's Jules Besson.

838
01:05:15,287 --> 01:05:18,874
You can't miss him.
He's fair-headed, with freckles.

839
01:05:19,041 --> 01:05:22,002
All right, what
are the messages?

840
01:05:22,461 --> 01:05:25,589
I want you to give
him 20 francs.

841
01:05:26,006 --> 01:05:28,133
When you've dealt
with Monsieur Veto,

842
01:05:28,300 --> 01:05:32,971
I want him to eat well
before tackling the Austrians.

843
01:05:33,138 --> 01:05:37,142
All right, I promise.
And the other?

844
01:05:37,309 --> 01:05:40,979
Teach him that song
of the Marseillais you sing.

845
01:05:41,897 --> 01:05:45,192
The Rhine Army Song?
Do you like it that much?

846
01:05:45,359 --> 01:05:48,654
We'll remember it
as the song of the Marseillais.

847
01:05:48,820 --> 01:05:51,031
I'll teach him it, I promise.

848
01:05:51,198 --> 01:05:56,203
I like best the couplet a
schoolmaster wrote in our honor:

849
01:05:56,954 --> 01:06:00,082
"We'll replace our parents
on the battlefield."

850
01:06:00,248 --> 01:06:02,167
Arnaud, do you want
some fried pork?

851
01:06:02,334 --> 01:06:07,005
You should have seen all the
kids declaiming his verses.

852
01:06:07,172 --> 01:06:10,175
In front of the temple
of Augustus and Livia.

853
01:06:10,342 --> 01:06:11,927
Give me some pig.

854
01:06:12,094 --> 01:06:13,971
There, my lord.

855
01:06:14,388 --> 01:06:16,515
My friends, it was wonderful.

856
01:06:16,682 --> 01:06:19,518
I'll do a picture of it,
I've got the title:

857
01:06:19,685 --> 01:06:23,647
"France of tomorrow confronting
the ruins of Ancient Rome."

858
01:06:23,814 --> 01:06:25,190
Why are we waiting here?

859
01:06:25,357 --> 01:06:27,192
They say a cannon
fell in a ditch.

860
01:06:27,359 --> 01:06:28,986
A cannon in a ditch?

861
01:06:29,653 --> 01:06:32,698
A likely story. They're just
trying to cheer us up.

862
01:06:32,864 --> 01:06:34,324
What do you think?

863
01:06:34,908 --> 01:06:38,286
I think we're facing
the priestly army.

864
01:06:39,997 --> 01:06:42,124
We're sitting happily here,

865
01:06:42,290 --> 01:06:46,586
and suddenly, they'll launch
a surprise attack!

866
01:06:46,753 --> 01:06:50,048
A cannon in a ditch,
that's a big joke.

867
01:06:50,215 --> 01:06:52,050
Or else it's a big ditch.

868
01:06:52,217 --> 01:06:53,677
An aristocratic ditch.

869
01:06:54,094 --> 01:06:55,345
Truer than you think.

870
01:06:55,846 --> 01:07:00,600
They don't maintain the roads
in this royalist district.

871
01:07:00,767 --> 01:07:04,938
They pretend it's impossible
since forced labor was ended.

872
01:07:05,105 --> 01:07:06,481
It's all part of their
usual tactic.

873
01:07:06,648 --> 01:07:11,486
Pretending revolutionary decrees
disrupt public life.

874
01:07:12,237 --> 01:07:15,907
Arnaud, you've torn your
trousers. I'll mend them.

875
01:07:16,074 --> 01:07:18,285
If we have to move,
I'll be a sansculotte.

876
01:07:18,452 --> 01:07:20,287
And I'll do a painting of you!

877
01:07:20,704 --> 01:07:22,539
And we'll never be
in the painting!

878
01:07:24,166 --> 01:07:26,626
- Let it roll!
- Sergeant!

879
01:07:29,421 --> 01:07:31,798
Massugue will lead the vanguard.

880
01:07:31,965 --> 01:07:33,091
Yes, sir.

881
01:07:33,258 --> 01:07:36,303
The wheels are damaged
but the gun's all right.

882
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,181
If we look after it,
it will look after us.

883
01:08:12,756 --> 01:08:16,301
What will they say to our
Marseillais song in Paris?

884
01:08:16,468 --> 01:08:20,555
Moissant's idea that we should
sing it could be dangerous.

885
01:08:20,722 --> 01:08:23,809
Nonsense. Remember
what I've always said:

886
01:08:23,975 --> 01:08:26,686
this song will unite
all the Frenchmen.

887
01:08:27,104 --> 01:08:29,815
It will be like a
new Federation.

888
01:08:29,981 --> 01:08:32,859
When the Parisians
hear those magnificent words,

889
01:08:33,026 --> 01:08:37,531
they'll join in
and sing with the rest of us.

890
01:08:37,948 --> 01:08:41,409
The frightened queen
goes back to her Danube...

891
01:08:41,576 --> 01:08:43,328
To the Croats.

892
01:08:43,870 --> 01:08:45,831
Yes, to the Croats.

893
01:08:45,997 --> 01:08:50,377
The king withdraws his veto,
recalls patriot ministers,

894
01:08:50,544 --> 01:08:55,549
and in two weeks, we'll be
eating sauerkraut in Vienna,

895
01:08:55,715 --> 01:08:57,217
capital of Austria!

896
01:08:57,384 --> 01:09:01,555
Croats eat nothing
but candles, ignoramus!

897
01:09:01,721 --> 01:09:03,265
Listen, Bomier,

898
01:09:03,682 --> 01:09:08,562
didn't you say that song
was nothing but a craze?

899
01:09:08,979 --> 01:09:12,691
I said that? When? Where?

900
01:09:12,858 --> 01:09:18,071
The last time we went fishing,
Monsieur Bomier.

901
01:09:18,989 --> 01:09:21,616
Yes, Monsieur Arnaud,

902
01:09:21,783 --> 01:09:23,410
I remember quite well.

903
01:09:23,577 --> 01:09:28,123
I said it was like the echo
of my own thoughts.

904
01:09:29,374 --> 01:09:33,378
<i>Heave-ho, shipmates,
hoist the mainsail</i>

905
01:09:33,545 --> 01:09:37,257
<i>Heave-ho, everyone lend a hand</i>

906
01:09:37,424 --> 01:09:40,093
<i>Heave and heave away</i>

907
01:09:40,260 --> 01:09:44,055
<i>Or else, you'll get
an empty plate</i>

908
01:09:44,222 --> 01:09:46,933
<i>They've sailed together
for seven years</i>

909
01:09:47,100 --> 01:09:50,687
<i>Without recognizing each other</i>

910
01:09:50,854 --> 01:09:53,732
<i>They've sailed together
for seven years</i>

911
01:09:53,899 --> 01:09:57,402
<i>And recognize each
other upon landing</i>

912
01:09:57,569 --> 01:10:01,406
<i>At long last, love reunites us</i>

913
01:10:01,573 --> 01:10:05,368
<i>We'll soon get married</i>

914
01:10:05,535 --> 01:10:08,121
<i>And spend the money
we've earned</i>

915
01:10:08,288 --> 01:10:11,875
<i>To pay for the wedding
and the furnishing</i>

916
01:10:12,709 --> 01:10:15,795
How many days have
we been on the march?

917
01:10:15,962 --> 01:10:17,005
Twenty-one.

918
01:10:17,714 --> 01:10:20,342
It feels like a century, at least.

919
01:10:23,220 --> 01:10:26,598
We'll soon be there.

920
01:10:27,933 --> 01:10:33,813
<i>Heave-ho, shipmates,
hoist the mainsail</i>

921
01:10:35,440 --> 01:10:39,611
Maybe they've had
a counter-revolution by now.

922
01:10:39,778 --> 01:10:40,946
You think?

923
01:10:41,112 --> 01:10:45,533
You don't think Robespierre
will be welcoming us, do you?

924
01:10:45,700 --> 01:10:49,329
More likely the Emperor of
Austria with a holy army.

925
01:10:49,496 --> 01:10:52,874
And there aren't any
mountains to hide in.

926
01:10:53,041 --> 01:10:57,587
Remember those days with
Chamois? Those were the days.

927
01:10:59,172 --> 01:11:00,674
What is happening in Paris?

928
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,478
STRONG AND UNITED

929
01:11:26,658 --> 01:11:28,910
Where are the Dauphinois?

930
01:11:29,494 --> 01:11:30,829
I've lost the Dauphinois!

931
01:11:30,996 --> 01:11:35,166
Are you sure you
haven't lost your head?

932
01:11:46,052 --> 01:11:47,971
Make room for the
Breton federates!

933
01:11:48,138 --> 01:11:51,516
Clear the platform, it's
reserved for Breton federates.

934
01:11:51,683 --> 01:11:53,518
Is that equality?

935
01:11:53,685 --> 01:11:56,396
Why Bretons on the
platform and not me?

936
01:11:56,563 --> 01:11:59,065
Why you and not the Bretons?

937
01:11:59,232 --> 01:12:01,776
A fine thing if
everyone was like you.

938
01:12:01,943 --> 01:12:06,531
Our brothers have left their
homes to save the country.

939
01:12:27,010 --> 01:12:31,473
HERE LIES THE BASTILLE

940
01:12:53,953 --> 01:12:59,959
HONOR TO THE MARSEILLAIS

941
01:13:07,801 --> 01:13:10,804
Long live the Marseillais!

942
01:13:15,433 --> 01:13:19,104
<i>Bloody standard is raised</i>

943
01:13:19,270 --> 01:13:22,732
<i>Listen to the sound
in the fields</i>

944
01:13:22,899 --> 01:13:27,070
<i>The howling of these
fearsome soldiers</i>

945
01:13:27,237 --> 01:13:30,949
<i>They are coming into our midst</i>

946
01:13:31,116 --> 01:13:35,245
<i>To cut the throats
Of your sons and consorts</i>

947
01:13:35,412 --> 01:13:39,082
<i>To arms, citizens</i>

948
01:13:39,249 --> 01:13:42,669
<i>Form your battalions</i>

949
01:13:42,836 --> 01:13:47,048
<i>March, march</i>

950
01:13:47,215 --> 01:13:50,593
<i>Let impure blood</i>

951
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:54,347
<i>Water our furrows</i>

952
01:14:18,705 --> 01:14:21,291
It's not a painting, it's a fresco!

953
01:14:23,543 --> 01:14:25,086
What about me?

954
01:14:26,171 --> 01:14:27,505
I want another one!

955
01:14:27,672 --> 01:14:29,215
It's only natural, isn't it?

956
01:14:29,382 --> 01:14:30,758
Good wine, citizen.

957
01:14:30,925 --> 01:14:32,510
From my vineyard nearby.

958
01:14:32,677 --> 01:14:33,761
One more.

959
01:14:33,928 --> 01:14:34,888
Where's Robespierre?

960
01:14:35,054 --> 01:14:38,308
You can always find him
at the Jacobin Club.

961
01:14:38,892 --> 01:14:42,312
We've arranged a banquet
in a Champs-Élysées café.

962
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:47,066
We fraternally invite
you and your staff.

963
01:14:47,233 --> 01:14:51,070
Your invitation strikes straight
to our hearts. We'll be there.

964
01:14:53,156 --> 01:14:55,283
You have the sun in Paris, too.

965
01:14:56,993 --> 01:14:58,953
You can't imagine, citizen,

966
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:02,290
the enthusiasm we
met on our way.

967
01:15:02,457 --> 01:15:03,917
So it was a good journey?

968
01:15:04,083 --> 01:15:06,628
Indeed, we saw
wonderful countryside.

969
01:15:12,258 --> 01:15:14,969
Tomatoes, like I'd never seen
outside of Marseilles.

970
01:15:15,136 --> 01:15:18,681
So that's the Champs-Élysées?
What a funny name!

971
01:15:19,390 --> 01:15:21,893
Elysian Fields, resting place
of dead Grecian heroes.

972
01:15:22,060 --> 01:15:24,062
I can't see any dead.

973
01:15:24,229 --> 01:15:28,274
Well, look at those waiting
for us by the café.

974
01:15:28,441 --> 01:15:32,737
I don't know if they're dead,
but they're from the other world.

975
01:15:34,072 --> 01:15:35,573
There they are!

976
01:15:36,074 --> 01:15:38,034
Down with the Marseillais!

977
01:15:41,037 --> 01:15:42,247
Come on, everyone!

978
01:15:42,413 --> 01:15:46,084
<i>Come on!
String up the democrats!</i>

979
01:15:46,251 --> 01:15:49,504
<i>Come on!
We'll get the democrats!</i>

980
01:15:49,671 --> 01:15:51,297
They're aristocrats.

981
01:15:51,464 --> 01:15:53,967
Pay no attention.
It's just provocation.

982
01:16:05,228 --> 01:16:10,525
TO FRIENDS
OF THE CONSTITUTION

983
01:16:12,986 --> 01:16:16,739
Don't answer back, comrades.
Keep calm and orderly.

984
01:16:16,906 --> 01:16:18,199
Come and eat, citizen.

985
01:16:22,829 --> 01:16:25,540
I'll have love apples.

986
01:16:25,707 --> 01:16:27,667
- What's that?
- Tomatoes, of course.

987
01:16:27,834 --> 01:16:30,128
Tomatoes?

988
01:16:34,632 --> 01:16:37,218
We want to see the Marseillais!

989
01:16:37,385 --> 01:16:39,387
There they are, eating.

990
01:16:39,554 --> 01:16:41,723
String up the Marseillais!

991
01:16:42,307 --> 01:16:43,808
Watch our feet.

992
01:16:43,975 --> 01:16:45,727
That will do!

993
01:16:45,893 --> 01:16:49,647
Incredible! The rabble invade
even the Champs-Élysées.

994
01:16:49,814 --> 01:16:53,026
- Long live the nation!
- No, long live the king!

995
01:17:19,218 --> 01:17:21,429
Come and help us, Marseillais!

996
01:17:24,015 --> 01:17:26,726
- Oh, well, they asked for it.
- He's right!

997
01:17:45,328 --> 01:17:48,247
We'd better go. I'll escort you.

998
01:17:48,414 --> 01:17:51,876
We live too far away,
at Faubourg Saint-Antoine.

999
01:17:52,043 --> 01:17:53,461
It doesn't matter.

1000
01:17:53,628 --> 01:17:55,797
I can't leave you unprotected.

1001
01:17:55,963 --> 01:17:59,801
Paris seems more infested
with brigands than the forests.

1002
01:18:10,186 --> 01:18:12,647
Stop, citizen! I'll drop my guard.

1003
01:18:13,523 --> 01:18:15,108
Just one question:

1004
01:18:15,775 --> 01:18:16,943
why are we fighting?

1005
01:18:17,777 --> 01:18:19,654
We both wear the
National Guard uniform.

1006
01:18:19,821 --> 01:18:22,865
You're a Republican.
I'm a partisan of order.

1007
01:18:23,032 --> 01:18:26,744
If you're a partisan of order,
why ruin our banquet?

1008
01:18:26,911 --> 01:18:29,664
Your banquet? Defend yourself,
miserable anarchist!

1009
01:18:29,831 --> 01:18:32,959
We're coming!

1010
01:18:39,674 --> 01:18:42,593
Bandit!

1011
01:18:44,053 --> 01:18:45,513
Tell your master

1012
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:50,226
we won't throw him
in a little pond,

1013
01:18:50,393 --> 01:18:52,812
he'll go into Marseilles harbor,
with the sharks!

1014
01:19:03,573 --> 01:19:05,116
To me, aristocrats!

1015
01:19:08,911 --> 01:19:10,788
To my cudgel, aristocrats!

1016
01:19:24,427 --> 01:19:27,180
- Take your jacket.
- I don't need it.

1017
01:19:28,473 --> 01:19:30,975
Does it often rain
like this in Paris?

1018
01:19:31,142 --> 01:19:32,226
It does.

1019
01:19:32,769 --> 01:19:34,937
Umbrella-sellers must
make a fortune.

1020
01:19:35,897 --> 01:19:38,691
- What about Marseilles?
- It never rains there.

1021
01:19:38,858 --> 01:19:40,693
There's a cab.

1022
01:19:40,860 --> 01:19:42,737
You're mad, we can't afford it.

1023
01:19:42,904 --> 01:19:46,532
I'll take care of it. We're
rolling in money in Marseilles.

1024
01:19:46,699 --> 01:19:49,285
Wait, I'll hail it. Cab!

1025
01:20:00,129 --> 01:20:01,964
Open the gate!

1026
01:20:22,235 --> 01:20:25,404
I wonder what sort of bird
will hatch out of this egg?

1027
01:20:25,822 --> 01:20:27,448
What do you think?

1028
01:20:33,162 --> 01:20:34,580
Monsieur Leroux?

1029
01:20:35,164 --> 01:20:41,712
Sire, I fear it may be no bird,
but a dangerous reptile.

1030
01:20:41,879 --> 01:20:43,589
What do you know about it?

1031
01:20:44,340 --> 01:20:49,220
Permit me to recall phrases
addressed by this Brunswick,

1032
01:20:49,387 --> 01:20:52,723
commander-in-chief of
the armies invading France,

1033
01:20:52,890 --> 01:20:55,977
to the people in the names
of Austria and France

1034
01:20:56,143 --> 01:20:59,272
and, more seriously, in my name.

1035
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:04,735
"Inhabitants of cities
and villages

1036
01:21:04,902 --> 01:21:09,240
opposing troops of their
Imperial and Royal Majesties...

1037
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:14,996
will be punished
according to strict rules of war

1038
01:21:15,162 --> 01:21:18,499
and their houses
burned or demolished."

1039
01:21:21,961 --> 01:21:24,422
It is somewhat shocking

1040
01:21:24,589 --> 01:21:27,425
to find our person
cited in a manifesto

1041
01:21:27,592 --> 01:21:30,177
containing such threats
against our subjects.

1042
01:21:30,344 --> 01:21:33,431
Malicious tongues will not
fail to draw comparisons,

1043
01:21:33,598 --> 01:21:36,934
ill-calculated to
increase our popularity.

1044
01:21:39,896 --> 01:21:42,440
"The inhabitants of Paris,
without exceptions,

1045
01:21:42,607 --> 01:21:46,569
shall be required to
submit to the king...

1046
01:21:49,447 --> 01:21:53,451
To hold personally responsible
members of the Assembly

1047
01:21:53,618 --> 01:21:55,786
the Departments and Regions..."

1048
01:21:55,953 --> 01:21:57,622
Everybody, in fact!

1049
01:21:57,788 --> 01:22:00,458
"Should the Tuileries
Palace be attacked,

1050
01:22:00,625 --> 01:22:04,295
exemplary and unforgettable
vengeance will be exacted

1051
01:22:04,462 --> 01:22:10,927
by submitting the city to a
terrible and total subversion."

1052
01:22:15,056 --> 01:22:16,974
Subversion? A curious word.

1053
01:22:19,018 --> 01:22:21,938
Unfortunately,
it states clearly what it means.

1054
01:22:27,151 --> 01:22:28,736
You informed me, Madame,

1055
01:22:28,903 --> 01:22:33,366
that we might attribute this
little literary masterpiece...

1056
01:22:35,326 --> 01:22:37,328
to Monsieur de Limon.

1057
01:22:37,495 --> 01:22:40,873
Former servant of my brother
Provence, presently in exile.

1058
01:22:42,625 --> 01:22:45,628
Frankly, I do not
care for his style.

1059
01:22:46,379 --> 01:22:50,257
Those behind him are the real
authors of this manifesto.

1060
01:22:50,675 --> 01:22:55,054
They are waving torches
close to a barrel of powder.

1061
01:22:55,221 --> 01:22:56,222
You know them?

1062
01:22:57,974 --> 01:22:59,558
Better than you think.

1063
01:23:03,187 --> 01:23:05,731
So the question arises...

1064
01:23:06,983 --> 01:23:09,568
shall we, yes or no,

1065
01:23:09,735 --> 01:23:13,698
communicate this manifesto
to the Assembly, make it public?

1066
01:23:14,573 --> 01:23:18,661
Gentlemen, I ask you
for your advice.

1067
01:23:19,662 --> 01:23:23,666
I have summoned you
for this purpose.

1068
01:23:26,002 --> 01:23:30,840
Sire, this manifesto is the work
of your most far-seeing friends.

1069
01:23:31,257 --> 01:23:35,886
Its publication will bring joy
to all sensible people.

1070
01:23:36,721 --> 01:23:39,765
I apologize for referring
to my private life,

1071
01:23:39,932 --> 01:23:44,103
but yesterday, my stockbroker
and I discussed the war.

1072
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:46,105
He said to me:

1073
01:23:46,272 --> 01:23:50,234
"I would rather see Prussians
camping in Place Louis XV

1074
01:23:50,401 --> 01:23:53,237
and the French pound
falling below zero

1075
01:23:53,404 --> 01:23:58,200
than have the elements of
disorder encouraged by a victory."

1076
01:24:00,119 --> 01:24:04,915
Sire, I strongly urge the
publication of this manifesto,

1077
01:24:05,082 --> 01:24:07,418
which will strike terror
into your rebellious subjects.

1078
01:24:07,585 --> 01:24:10,004
Unless it transports
them with fury.

1079
01:24:11,881 --> 01:24:15,718
This time, the stake is the very
existence of the monarchy.

1080
01:24:16,260 --> 01:24:17,970
You are right, Leroux.

1081
01:24:18,888 --> 01:24:21,807
The stage is set
for the last act of the tragedy.

1082
01:24:22,391 --> 01:24:24,852
I am inclined to ring
up the curtain.

1083
01:24:25,269 --> 01:24:27,772
In war, the best
defense is attack.

1084
01:24:27,938 --> 01:24:31,025
I am eager to resolve
this false situation.

1085
01:24:31,192 --> 01:24:34,111
A king who cannot rule.

1086
01:24:34,278 --> 01:24:37,448
Subjects who are subjects
but no longer obey.

1087
01:24:37,615 --> 01:24:41,077
A war we are obliged to wage
against our natural allies,

1088
01:24:41,911 --> 01:24:43,496
our own relatives.

1089
01:24:44,163 --> 01:24:48,000
And those we call our enemies
fight to save our persons.

1090
01:24:48,417 --> 01:24:50,169
This perpetual surrender,

1091
01:24:50,336 --> 01:24:53,547
these detestable compromises
with men we hate,

1092
01:24:53,714 --> 01:24:56,801
these principles
we consider to be blasphemy.

1093
01:24:56,967 --> 01:25:01,639
Let the revolt come! Quickly!
Let them attack the palace!

1094
01:25:01,806 --> 01:25:05,559
This time we are ready, Monsieur
de La Chesnaye tells me.

1095
01:25:05,726 --> 01:25:10,356
We can count on the loyalty
of the Swiss and our gentlemen.

1096
01:25:10,523 --> 01:25:12,775
The best elements
of the army are with us.

1097
01:25:13,359 --> 01:25:15,611
Revolutionaries may
enter the palace,

1098
01:25:15,778 --> 01:25:17,822
but will not leave alive.

1099
01:25:17,988 --> 01:25:22,201
As with us,
it is the most active elements,

1100
01:25:22,618 --> 01:25:27,248
I do not venture to pay the best
who will instinctively lead them.

1101
01:25:27,414 --> 01:25:32,336
So this extermination will
end the whole sinister drama.

1102
01:25:32,503 --> 01:25:37,007
The difficulty is that we, too,
are actors in this drama,

1103
01:25:37,174 --> 01:25:41,303
which is obviously less
convenient than being spectators.

1104
01:25:44,515 --> 01:25:47,351
Our cousin of Austria
has the best of it.

1105
01:25:47,518 --> 01:25:50,146
What does he risk?
Not his head, anyway.

1106
01:25:50,521 --> 01:25:53,524
And what a happy prospect
for this young braggart

1107
01:25:53,691 --> 01:25:56,193
to arrive in Paris as
conquering hero,

1108
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:58,863
and so play the <i>deus ex machina.</i>

1109
01:26:02,158 --> 01:26:06,871
Most distressing of all, I shall
have to invite him to the hunt.

1110
01:26:07,037 --> 01:26:08,998
What is wrong with that?

1111
01:26:12,835 --> 01:26:14,295
He shoots so badly.

1112
01:26:14,461 --> 01:26:16,964
I have it from his late Majesty,
your brother,

1113
01:26:17,131 --> 01:26:20,551
and from his minister Kaunitz,
who opposes this war.

1114
01:26:20,718 --> 01:26:23,888
How can you believe a person
who cleans his teeth

1115
01:26:24,054 --> 01:26:25,806
every day, and in public, too?

1116
01:26:25,973 --> 01:26:28,893
I am sure this strange custom
is excellent for the health.

1117
01:26:29,059 --> 01:26:31,478
We wash our hands,
why not our teeth?

1118
01:26:32,062 --> 01:26:35,024
If I were not presently
so preoccupied,

1119
01:26:35,441 --> 01:26:38,485
I would be pleased to
try this brushing.

1120
01:26:38,652 --> 01:26:41,488
In any case, my nephew
the Emperor shoots well.

1121
01:26:41,655 --> 01:26:44,825
He shoots badly.
Hunting is a lost art today.

1122
01:26:44,992 --> 01:26:50,748
Beaters set the game up
like a game of skittles.

1123
01:26:57,713 --> 01:27:01,425
Sire, you must have
very small affection for me

1124
01:27:01,592 --> 01:27:04,011
to publicly abuse a
member of my family.

1125
01:27:04,178 --> 01:27:08,432
Madame, I humbly
beg your pardon. It is the hunt.

1126
01:27:08,599 --> 01:27:13,437
My passion for it
makes me forget the proprieties.

1127
01:27:20,069 --> 01:27:21,445
Gentlemen,

1128
01:27:21,612 --> 01:27:25,032
have Brunswick's Manifesto
put to the Assembly.

1135
01:28:09,952 --> 01:28:12,997
An insult! The Brunswick
Manifesto arouses the Nation!

1136
01:28:13,163 --> 01:28:16,250
Beware, citizens, lest you be
lulled by opiate-mongers.

1137
01:28:16,417 --> 01:28:19,336
Published by a group
of men of letters.

1138
01:28:19,503 --> 01:28:22,464
All right-thinking people
welcome the Brunswick manifesto.

1139
01:28:22,631 --> 01:28:25,175
Soon we shall throng
to magnificent festivities.

AND PETITS
AUGUSTINS DISTRICT

1142
01:28:28,762 --> 01:28:30,556
In the name of the Constitution

1143
01:28:30,723 --> 01:28:32,891
constantly evoked
by King Louis XVI,

1144
01:28:33,058 --> 01:28:36,186
we now invoke it in turn
to demand his deposition.

1145
01:28:36,353 --> 01:28:37,980
THE PEOPLE'S FRIEND,

1146
01:28:38,147 --> 01:28:40,733
PATRIOTIC, FREE
AND IMPARTIAL.

PARIS, 3RD AUGUST 1792

1149
01:28:47,239 --> 01:28:49,241
ASSEMBLY PROCEEDINGS
OF 2ND AUGUST.

1150
01:28:49,408 --> 01:28:52,369
Brunswick's Manifesto and the
king's accompanying letter.

1151
01:28:52,536 --> 01:28:57,207
France, long starved of grain
and coin by royal monopolies,

1152
01:28:57,374 --> 01:29:02,546
troubled by traitors and
counter-revolutionary officials,

1153
01:29:02,713 --> 01:29:06,550
torn by factions,
betrayed by its generals,

1154
01:29:06,717 --> 01:29:09,053
is beset by 500,000 satellites

1155
01:29:09,219 --> 01:29:13,098
of despots in league with
Louis XVI to replace our yoke.

1156
01:29:13,265 --> 01:29:17,436
The satellites are Austrians,
Prussians and priests.

1157
01:29:17,603 --> 01:29:19,438
- Their audacious leader...
- Brunswick!

1158
01:29:19,605 --> 01:29:22,775
- No, the Count d'Artois.
- Excuse me.

1159
01:29:22,941 --> 01:29:26,403
The invader's general
is the Duke of Brunswick.

1160
01:29:26,570 --> 01:29:29,239
Freemason and secret
agent of the Pope.

1161
01:29:29,406 --> 01:29:31,325
Have it your way.

1162
01:29:31,492 --> 01:29:34,661
Their audacious leader,
spurred on by the Tuileries,

1163
01:29:34,828 --> 01:29:38,957
demands that we submit
to our former shackles.

1164
01:29:39,124 --> 01:29:40,125
What next?

1165
01:29:40,292 --> 01:29:42,836
My dear compatriots, wake up.

1166
01:29:43,003 --> 01:29:45,798
Hold hostage Louis XVI,
his wife, his son,

1167
01:29:45,964 --> 01:29:48,592
his singers, all your
faithless representatives.

1168
01:29:48,759 --> 01:29:51,178
The Nation seeks redress
from these traitors

1169
01:29:51,345 --> 01:29:53,597
who must first be sacrificed
to the public weal.

1170
01:29:53,764 --> 01:29:57,434
Then will come the banishment
of the shameful Capets

1171
01:29:57,601 --> 01:29:59,520
and the punishment
of all conspirators.

1172
01:29:59,686 --> 01:30:01,480
Signed: Priest of the People.

1173
01:30:01,647 --> 01:30:03,607
Long live Marat.

1174
01:30:03,774 --> 01:30:06,110
All the same,
Capet's a funny name.

1175
01:30:06,276 --> 01:30:08,362
You're Bomier.

1176
01:30:08,529 --> 01:30:10,989
Why shouldn't the king's
family be Capet?

1177
01:30:11,407 --> 01:30:13,450
Any news, Arnaud?

1178
01:30:13,617 --> 01:30:16,954
I've been with Garnier
and the other delegates.

1179
01:30:17,121 --> 01:30:19,706
Let's take action
and talk later.

1180
01:30:19,873 --> 01:30:24,795
Robespierre and the others
haven't slept for two days.

1181
01:30:25,337 --> 01:30:27,714
There have been
meetings everywhere.

1182
01:30:27,881 --> 01:30:31,051
Some people wanted
to march at once.

1183
01:30:31,218 --> 01:30:34,054
Robespierre is against
unprepared actions,

1184
01:30:34,221 --> 01:30:36,682
otherwise we'd all
be fighting now.

1185
01:30:36,849 --> 01:30:38,392
The Mauconseil section

1186
01:30:38,559 --> 01:30:41,562
simply proclaimed
the king's deposition.

1187
01:30:41,728 --> 01:30:43,814
In the end, what
have we decided?

1188
01:30:43,981 --> 01:30:45,899
Yes, what have we decided?

1189
01:30:47,067 --> 01:30:50,154
If the king does
not withdraw his veto,

1190
01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:53,365
or take suitable measures
for National Defense,

1191
01:30:53,532 --> 01:30:56,660
we give the Assembly
one week to depose him,

1192
01:30:56,827 --> 01:30:58,412
according to the Constitution.

1193
01:30:58,579 --> 01:31:01,206
But who is this "we"?

1194
01:31:01,373 --> 01:31:04,668
I haven't decided anything.
Everyone says "we"!

1195
01:31:04,835 --> 01:31:08,046
Your representatives,
the people you elected.

1196
01:31:08,213 --> 01:31:12,342
Members of the Central Committee
of Federates,

1197
01:31:12,509 --> 01:31:16,930
in consultation with the
revolutionary sections of Paris.

1198
01:31:17,473 --> 01:31:18,891
If the Assembly refuses?

1199
01:31:20,142 --> 01:31:22,311
Then we attack the palace.

1200
01:31:22,478 --> 01:31:26,398
In military terms,
it's called ultimatum.

1201
01:31:26,565 --> 01:31:30,861
- Come on! Grub up!
- You're in a hurry.

1202
01:31:31,904 --> 01:31:34,072
- Potatoes again!
- Only a few.

1203
01:31:34,239 --> 01:31:38,410
That's the lot.
They're all we had left.

1204
01:31:38,577 --> 01:31:41,246
Lot or not, I've had enough!

1205
01:31:41,413 --> 01:31:43,540
I refuse to eat roots.

1206
01:31:43,707 --> 01:31:46,168
I'm not a pig or a savage.

1207
01:31:46,335 --> 01:31:51,215
This precious tuber can be
cooked in 20 different ways,

1208
01:31:51,381 --> 01:31:53,926
each more delicious
than the last.

1209
01:31:54,092 --> 01:31:58,597
It generously provides us
with flour, starch, medicine,

1210
01:31:58,764 --> 01:32:01,642
even an excellent brandy.

1211
01:32:01,808 --> 01:32:03,894
King Louis XVI himself,

1212
01:32:04,061 --> 01:32:07,981
a poor politician,
but a shrewd trencherman,

1213
01:32:08,148 --> 01:32:12,319
feeds himself exclusively
on potatoes.

1214
01:32:12,486 --> 01:32:15,781
If you don't like them, Bomier,
give them to me.

1215
01:32:17,199 --> 01:32:20,410
I'll eat them
as a revolutionary discipline.

1216
01:32:20,577 --> 01:32:22,704
If you'd rather
eat something else,

1217
01:32:23,121 --> 01:32:25,916
the Assembly offers
us 30 sous a day

1218
01:32:26,083 --> 01:32:28,252
if we'll leave Paris.

1219
01:32:28,418 --> 01:32:30,754
Thirty sous a day
for leaving Paris,

1220
01:32:30,921 --> 01:32:33,924
that's not enough
after that march.

1221
01:32:34,091 --> 01:32:36,218
Moissant was right to refuse.

1222
01:32:37,803 --> 01:32:41,265
So you sometimes agree with
your leaders, Monsieur Bomier?

1223
01:32:41,431 --> 01:32:43,892
It happens, Monsieur Arnaud.

1224
01:32:44,059 --> 01:32:46,270
In that Assembly,

1225
01:32:46,436 --> 01:32:50,107
there are traitors who should
be sent to the gallows.

1226
01:32:50,274 --> 01:32:53,777
Those 30 sous are offered
by the Austrian Emperor.

1227
01:32:54,319 --> 01:32:59,616
That Brunswick's no fool.
I bet I know what he said:

1228
01:32:59,783 --> 01:33:04,162
"François, those Marseillais
will never let you into Paris."

1229
01:33:04,663 --> 01:33:06,331
Any salt?

1230
01:33:06,957 --> 01:33:09,793
As much as you like,
now the Salt Tax is abolished.

1231
01:33:10,836 --> 01:33:11,920
Enough for me.

1232
01:33:13,839 --> 01:33:17,843
Today is the 3rd of August.
Let's say one week.

1233
01:33:21,930 --> 01:33:26,310
By the 10th,
those of us not dead of hunger

1234
01:33:26,476 --> 01:33:28,812
will have a chance to eat again.

1235
01:34:38,965 --> 01:34:43,387
FRENCH CHILDREN'S THEATER

1236
01:35:05,367 --> 01:35:06,785
Be seated, citizen.

1237
01:35:06,952 --> 01:35:08,870
They are the Marseillais!

1238
01:35:11,498 --> 01:35:12,791
Citizens,

1239
01:35:12,958 --> 01:35:17,129
the performance continues
with <i>King and Nation.</i>

1240
01:35:35,397 --> 01:35:36,773
The king!

1241
01:35:38,942 --> 01:35:40,569
Long live the Nation!

1242
01:35:44,906 --> 01:35:48,368
<i>Madame Nation</i>

1243
01:35:48,785 --> 01:35:53,498
<i>Come to my arms
so I may embrace you</i>

1244
01:35:55,041 --> 01:35:56,752
<i>Monsieur King</i>

1245
01:35:56,918 --> 01:36:00,130
<i>It is impossible to
come to your arms</i>

1246
01:36:00,297 --> 01:36:04,426
<i>The bridge between us is broken</i>

1247
01:36:04,593 --> 01:36:09,723
<i>And an abyss separates us</i>

1248
01:36:11,224 --> 01:36:13,894
<i>What is this abyss?</i>

1249
01:36:15,103 --> 01:36:20,192
<i>It is the manifesto
of Brunswick!</i>

1250
01:36:43,215 --> 01:36:46,176
So the day after tomorrow
you prepare for action?

1251
01:36:48,386 --> 01:36:51,473
And on the 10th you
enter the palace?

1252
01:36:55,393 --> 01:36:57,312
What are you doing on the 11th?

1253
01:36:57,479 --> 01:36:59,773
On the 11th, we leave
for the frontier.

1254
01:37:02,317 --> 01:37:03,985
After the war,

1255
01:37:04,861 --> 01:37:08,281
will you go back
to your mother in Marseilles?

1256
01:37:08,448 --> 01:37:11,409
No, I'd like to settle in Paris.

1257
01:37:12,244 --> 01:37:13,662
I'm a good mason.

1258
01:37:14,079 --> 01:37:17,541
My friends call me "Gamate."

1259
01:37:18,500 --> 01:37:21,461
Maybe you don't
know what that is?

1260
01:37:21,878 --> 01:37:25,340
It is a little wooden
gadget like this,

1261
01:37:25,757 --> 01:37:29,386
we masons use it to mix mortar.

1262
01:37:40,480 --> 01:37:42,232
Were you asleep?

1263
01:37:42,399 --> 01:37:44,234
No, I was dreaming.

1264
01:37:44,401 --> 01:37:48,238
Dreaming?
You seem to dream a lot.

1265
01:37:53,577 --> 01:37:55,287
I don't understand you.

1266
01:37:55,871 --> 01:38:00,750
You've been courting Louison for
weeks and haven't kissed her.

1267
01:38:00,917 --> 01:38:04,170
- I daren't.
- Poor old man.

1268
01:38:04,337 --> 01:38:06,673
Don't be sorry for me.

1269
01:38:07,090 --> 01:38:09,968
I spend whole days in paradise.

1270
01:38:10,135 --> 01:38:11,344
Doing what?

1271
01:38:11,511 --> 01:38:12,721
Looking at her.

1272
01:38:13,763 --> 01:38:18,268
Today, I was fascinated
by a fold behind her ear.

1273
01:38:18,810 --> 01:38:20,645
It's extremely pretty

1274
01:38:21,187 --> 01:38:23,565
and I love it very much.

1275
01:38:24,149 --> 01:38:27,068
I didn't see much
else at the theater,

1276
01:38:28,028 --> 01:38:30,447
but it was nice all the same.

1277
01:38:30,906 --> 01:38:33,825
I really enjoyed myself.

1278
01:38:35,327 --> 01:38:37,871
If we ever get back
from all this,

1279
01:38:38,830 --> 01:38:40,373
I'd like to marry her.

1280
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:45,045
But maybe she won't have me.

1281
01:38:56,097 --> 01:38:58,350
Squad, attention!

1282
01:38:59,601 --> 01:39:01,144
Comrades,

1283
01:39:02,103 --> 01:39:03,438
our colleague Garnier,

1284
01:39:03,605 --> 01:39:05,815
delegate to the
Central Committee,

1285
01:39:05,982 --> 01:39:09,402
sends word that our brothers
in the Théâtre Français section

1286
01:39:09,569 --> 01:39:11,571
will give the warning signal.

1287
01:39:13,114 --> 01:39:16,368
It will be a cannon
fired from Pont Saint-Michel.

1288
01:39:17,285 --> 01:39:22,332
Immediately, all patriot
church bells will ring,

1289
01:39:22,499 --> 01:39:26,336
summoning all revolutionary
citizens to arms.

1290
01:39:27,545 --> 01:39:29,756
Along with the forces
of Théâtre Français,

1291
01:39:29,923 --> 01:39:32,592
Faubourg Saint-Marceau
and Breton federates,

1292
01:39:32,759 --> 01:39:35,220
we'll go to the palace gates.

1293
01:39:36,012 --> 01:39:38,682
Before attacking,
we'll wait for Santerre,

1294
01:39:38,848 --> 01:39:43,228
who'll bring reinforcements
from other sections.

1295
01:39:44,521 --> 01:39:47,315
We must try to
avoid a bloody action.

1296
01:39:47,983 --> 01:39:53,989
Revolutionaries should prefer
words to battle.

1297
01:39:54,990 --> 01:39:59,786
We'll speak to the Swiss and
French who defend a lost cause.

1298
01:40:00,912 --> 01:40:05,792
If they resist, you do your duty
as mercifully as possible.

1299
01:40:06,584 --> 01:40:10,463
Let us tell ourselves that,
whatever our personal fate,

1300
01:40:10,630 --> 01:40:14,259
tomorrow's sun will set
on a France free of treason,

1301
01:40:14,426 --> 01:40:17,470
and ready to face
the foreign invaders!

1302
01:40:19,597 --> 01:40:22,475
At ease!

1303
01:40:26,062 --> 01:40:28,064
I wish I could see
Louison again.

1304
01:40:57,761 --> 01:41:01,514
We have two alternatives,
Madame: attack or defense.

1305
01:41:01,681 --> 01:41:04,100
We defend. These are
His Majesty's orders.

1306
01:41:04,559 --> 01:41:08,104
Then it's best
to allow the gates to be forced.

1307
01:41:08,271 --> 01:41:12,025
Once the rebels are inside,
a volley from our guns

1308
01:41:12,192 --> 01:41:14,152
should destroy the majority.

1309
01:41:14,319 --> 01:41:18,865
Should some survive,
or our gunners be won over,

1310
01:41:19,032 --> 01:41:23,286
our best men occupy windows
overlooking the yard,

1311
01:41:23,453 --> 01:41:27,457
in a position to
effect a crippling fire.

1312
01:41:27,624 --> 01:41:29,501
We may expect with luck

1313
01:41:29,667 --> 01:41:33,755
few assailants to
escape our trap alive.

1314
01:41:34,297 --> 01:41:36,674
We must keep right on our side.

1315
01:41:37,425 --> 01:41:41,930
By entering the yard, they will
avow their insubordination.

1316
01:41:43,848 --> 01:41:45,975
Conduct me to His Majesty.

1317
01:41:47,977 --> 01:41:50,897
Make room for one
of your own, gentlemen.

1318
01:41:51,356 --> 01:41:52,899
Make room, gentlemen.

1319
01:42:08,832 --> 01:42:11,251
Madame, we have the upper hand,

1320
01:42:11,417 --> 01:42:16,131
but all these people
hinder the work of defense.

1321
01:42:16,548 --> 01:42:20,677
Sir, you speak out of turn.
I answer for the gentlemen here.

1322
01:42:20,844 --> 01:42:22,220
Long live the queen!

1323
01:42:22,971 --> 01:42:26,432
They will march with you,
however you order them.

1324
01:42:26,599 --> 01:42:29,102
They are prepared
for any eventuality.

1325
01:42:29,519 --> 01:42:32,063
These are trusty men.

1326
01:42:32,230 --> 01:42:33,439
Long live the queen!

1327
01:42:45,034 --> 01:42:48,079
Sire, do you eat
in such circumstances?

1328
01:42:48,496 --> 01:42:50,039
And why not?

1329
01:42:50,206 --> 01:42:54,169
The stomach is ignorant
of the subtleties of politics.

1330
01:42:54,586 --> 01:42:56,296
I ordered tomatoes,

1331
01:42:56,462 --> 01:43:00,592
a vegetable much discussed
since the Marseillais arrived.

1332
01:43:01,009 --> 01:43:05,430
I wished to taste it.
Shall I give you my impression?

1333
01:43:06,347 --> 01:43:09,851
It is an excellent dish
which we did wrong to neglect.

1334
01:43:10,351 --> 01:43:13,396
Sire, will you not
review your troops?

1335
01:43:13,563 --> 01:43:16,149
It would be appropriate
to rekindle their enthusiasm.

1336
01:43:17,734 --> 01:43:20,236
I have just so decided
with these gentlemen.

1337
01:43:27,118 --> 01:43:29,621
Sire, your wig is askew.

1338
01:43:32,624 --> 01:43:36,002
Picard is upset today,
he does everything askew.

1339
01:44:01,778 --> 01:44:05,114
Picard, thank you. I'll be back.

1340
01:44:08,284 --> 01:44:12,205
De La Chesnaye,
Maillardoz, de Bateman,

1341
01:44:12,622 --> 01:44:15,500
Adjutant General Deneix,
conduct me.

1342
01:44:19,087 --> 01:44:20,880
Long live the king!

1343
01:44:25,176 --> 01:44:27,804
<i>O Richard</i>

1344
01:44:27,971 --> 01:44:31,891
<i>O my King</i>

1345
01:44:32,308 --> 01:44:38,773
<i>The universe abandons you</i>

1346
01:44:39,274 --> 01:44:43,987
<i>Only we are left</i>

1347
01:44:44,153 --> 01:44:47,657
<i>To care</i>

1348
01:44:47,824 --> 01:44:51,536
<i>For you</i>

1349
01:44:51,953 --> 01:44:55,206
<i>I alone in the universe</i>

1350
01:44:55,373 --> 01:44:58,668
<i>Would like to break your chains</i>

1351
01:44:58,835 --> 01:45:05,091
<i>While all the rest abandon you</i>

1352
01:45:22,567 --> 01:45:24,235
Long live France!

1353
01:45:33,328 --> 01:45:34,954
Long live the king!

1354
01:45:51,095 --> 01:45:52,305
Long live the king!

1355
01:46:12,867 --> 01:46:14,535
Present arms!

1356
01:46:20,375 --> 01:46:22,835
What is His Majesty doing here?

1357
01:46:28,049 --> 01:46:29,759
Long live the Nation!

1358
01:46:47,151 --> 01:46:49,112
Down with the king!
Down with the veto!

1359
01:46:49,278 --> 01:46:50,822
Yes, down with the veto!

1360
01:46:55,451 --> 01:46:56,994
Sire, this way.

1361
01:46:59,580 --> 01:47:01,457
Scum! I'll teach you manners!

1362
01:47:01,624 --> 01:47:03,292
Leave us alone!

1363
01:47:03,459 --> 01:47:07,338
Otherwise, as good citizens,
we'll open the gate

1364
01:47:07,505 --> 01:47:09,549
and turn our guns to the palace!

1365
01:47:09,966 --> 01:47:12,218
Back, or I'll get you my saber
in your belly!

1366
01:47:13,636 --> 01:47:17,306
I forbid you to insult my men.
They answer to me!

1367
01:47:17,473 --> 01:47:18,808
Gentlemen.

1368
01:47:23,229 --> 01:47:24,856
Long live the Nation!

1369
01:47:42,957 --> 01:47:45,334
Please stop lolling on
the ground, my son.

1370
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:50,923
Rolling on carpets
is a bad habit you must break.

1371
01:48:23,039 --> 01:48:24,165
My sister...

1372
01:48:28,836 --> 01:48:30,838
This wig askew bothers me.

1373
01:48:32,590 --> 01:48:34,467
Try to get it straight.

1374
01:48:46,521 --> 01:48:50,399
Sire, the Department of Paris,
through my proxy,

1375
01:48:50,566 --> 01:48:53,694
would speak with you alone
with your family.

1376
01:48:53,861 --> 01:48:56,447
Royal ministers must remain
with His Majesty.

1377
01:48:56,614 --> 01:48:57,782
If the king desires!

1378
01:49:00,910 --> 01:49:03,412
Your Majesty's only safety

1379
01:49:03,579 --> 01:49:05,748
lies with the Assembly,

1380
01:49:05,915 --> 01:49:08,584
which alone commands
the people's respect.

1381
01:49:09,877 --> 01:49:13,130
You must proceed
there without delay.

1382
01:49:23,683 --> 01:49:25,017
We shall go.

1383
01:49:31,440 --> 01:49:33,985
Monsieur Roederer, you have won.

1384
01:49:34,151 --> 01:49:36,862
Madame, it is His Majesty's
good judgment.

1385
01:49:43,077 --> 01:49:45,788
Will you answer for
my brother's life?

1386
01:49:45,955 --> 01:49:49,750
With my own, Madame.
I will walk before the king.

1387
01:49:52,336 --> 01:49:55,798
Are we alone, then?
Can no one take action?

1388
01:49:55,965 --> 01:49:57,675
Yes, Madame, alone.

1389
01:49:57,842 --> 01:50:00,803
Action is useless,
resistance impossible.

1390
01:50:00,970 --> 01:50:02,805
All of Paris is marching.

1391
01:50:04,140 --> 01:50:08,144
I beg Your Majesty
to dispense with your Court.

1392
01:50:08,769 --> 01:50:11,647
Be escorted by members
of the Department only,

1393
01:50:11,814 --> 01:50:14,066
who will surround
the royal family.

1394
01:50:17,028 --> 01:50:18,821
As you wish.

1395
01:50:18,988 --> 01:50:22,450
Monsieur Roederer,
may the ministers follow?

1396
01:50:22,617 --> 01:50:26,078
Yes, they have their place
in the Assembly.

1397
01:50:26,245 --> 01:50:29,415
And Madame de Tourzel,
my children's governess?

1398
01:50:29,582 --> 01:50:30,833
Certainly, Madame.

1399
01:50:33,461 --> 01:50:37,923
As for you, ladies, I cannot
authorize you to leave here.

1400
01:50:38,341 --> 01:50:41,052
Permit me to give
you some advice.

1401
01:50:41,469 --> 01:50:47,099
If the people invade the palace,
thieves and assassins will join in.

1402
01:50:47,516 --> 01:50:51,812
But organized revolutionary
groups will be there, too.

1403
01:50:51,979 --> 01:50:55,441
Avail yourselves
of their protection.

1404
01:51:10,539 --> 01:51:14,210
The king and his family
proceed alone to the Assembly,

1405
01:51:14,377 --> 01:51:18,839
escorted by the ministers,
the Department and a guard.

1406
01:51:19,507 --> 01:51:21,342
Kindly make way.

1407
01:52:04,552 --> 01:52:07,805
The king has forsaken us.
What shall we do?

1408
01:52:09,140 --> 01:52:12,643
Gentlemen, you may
return to your posts.

1409
01:52:13,060 --> 01:52:15,771
Leave them again
and I'll have you shot!

1410
01:52:22,236 --> 01:52:25,114
We should welcome
the departure of His Majesty.

1411
01:52:25,656 --> 01:52:28,951
We no longer have to guard
their royal persons

1412
01:52:29,118 --> 01:52:31,203
and are now free
to conclude this affair.

1413
01:52:31,662 --> 01:52:33,706
This battle must be the last.

1414
01:52:34,123 --> 01:52:36,417
The time has come
to conquer or die.

1415
01:52:37,251 --> 01:52:39,378
Let us pray we conquer.

1416
01:53:14,163 --> 01:53:15,915
So many leaves.

1417
01:53:17,875 --> 01:53:19,752
They are falling
early this year.

1418
01:54:12,179 --> 01:54:15,641
Are you waiting for the deluge,
Marseillais?

1419
01:54:15,808 --> 01:54:19,353
To the palace! Death to tyrants!

1420
01:54:19,520 --> 01:54:21,272
Why are we waiting?

1421
01:54:21,438 --> 01:54:24,233
Stuck here like
rows of asparagus.

1422
01:54:24,400 --> 01:54:26,652
We look like silly turnips.

1423
01:54:26,819 --> 01:54:29,738
You're very anxious
to fight, comrades.

1424
01:54:30,197 --> 01:54:35,119
You forgot the National Guard
in there, honest citizens.

1425
01:54:35,286 --> 01:54:37,413
I'll not be the first to fire.

1426
01:54:37,580 --> 01:54:38,497
You're right.

1427
01:54:38,664 --> 01:54:41,292
Arnaud's right to remind us.

1428
01:54:41,458 --> 01:54:42,751
True.

1429
01:54:42,918 --> 01:54:47,131
The people in there, they too
have fathers, mothers, uncles,

1430
01:54:47,298 --> 01:54:49,633
children, loved ones.

1431
01:54:50,050 --> 01:54:52,720
- Thinking of Louison?
- Yes, I'm thinking of her.

1432
01:55:41,727 --> 01:55:44,605
We must take advantage
of the situation!

1433
01:55:47,107 --> 01:55:49,151
Squad, attention!

1434
01:55:50,778 --> 01:55:52,738
Present arms!

1435
01:55:53,906 --> 01:55:55,407
Forward!

1436
01:56:40,828 --> 01:56:42,830
Join us, brothers!

1437
01:56:44,164 --> 01:56:46,458
Long live France!

1438
01:57:19,700 --> 01:57:22,995
Avoid bloodshed!

1439
01:57:23,162 --> 01:57:26,165
March with us!

1440
01:57:28,542 --> 01:57:29,918
He's right.

1441
01:57:41,889 --> 01:57:44,058
Don't defend a lost cause.

1442
01:57:44,641 --> 01:57:47,394
Embrace the people's
party, your own.

1443
01:57:49,897 --> 01:57:53,484
If we listened we
would be dishonored.

1444
01:57:53,650 --> 01:57:56,320
Lay down your arms
and save your lives.

1445
01:57:56,487 --> 01:57:59,490
But if you fight, the
consequences will be terrible.

1446
01:57:59,948 --> 01:58:04,953
Gentlemen, the time has
come to do our duty.

1447
01:58:05,120 --> 01:58:06,747
Give the order to fire.

1448
01:58:17,341 --> 01:58:21,386
Didn't you hear what
Arnaud said? Join us.

1449
01:58:21,970 --> 01:58:26,141
We are Swiss. As long as we live
we never lay down our arms.

1450
01:58:26,308 --> 01:58:29,686
We do not deserve your insults.

1451
01:58:30,104 --> 01:58:33,524
We will not leave our posts
or be disarmed!

1452
01:58:34,483 --> 01:58:37,277
In your place I'd leave my post,

1453
01:58:37,444 --> 01:58:40,906
and go back to your mountains,
beyond Mont Blanc.

1454
01:58:41,073 --> 01:58:43,367
I know all about
mountains, you know,

1455
01:58:43,534 --> 01:58:47,121
because Arnaud and me lived
there for three months...

1456
01:59:21,238 --> 01:59:22,406
Are you hit?

1457
01:59:22,573 --> 01:59:24,366
Leave me! Save the ammunition.

1458
01:59:25,868 --> 01:59:27,369
You're hit?

1459
01:59:27,536 --> 01:59:29,454
Go on, leave me!

1460
01:59:29,621 --> 01:59:33,584
- I'm not going to leave you there!
- Take this man away!

1461
01:59:36,712 --> 01:59:38,422
Attack!

1462
01:59:40,007 --> 01:59:42,384
Get out of the courtyard!

1463
02:00:02,154 --> 02:00:04,698
Long live France!

1464
02:00:09,494 --> 02:00:11,121
Long live France!

1465
02:00:37,773 --> 02:00:39,024
Halt!

1466
02:00:39,858 --> 02:00:42,694
Weapons ready!

1467
02:00:44,488 --> 02:00:45,530
Fire!

1468
02:00:48,283 --> 02:00:50,452
Forward!

1469
02:00:54,957 --> 02:00:59,962
HERE WE ARE PROUD
TO HAVE THE TITLE OF CITIZEN

1470
02:01:00,128 --> 02:01:01,380
He's wounded.

1471
02:01:02,089 --> 02:01:03,507
This way!

1472
02:01:23,277 --> 02:01:24,403
Halt!

1473
02:01:25,153 --> 02:01:27,531
Weapons ready!

1474
02:01:28,782 --> 02:01:29,825
Fire!

1475
02:01:30,492 --> 02:01:33,787
Fix bayonets! Forward!

1476
02:01:36,665 --> 02:01:38,333
I'm sure she'll come here.

1477
02:01:38,792 --> 02:01:40,794
She's a real patriot.

1478
02:01:41,837 --> 02:01:46,300
At the Bastille, she was
loading her father's gun.

1479
02:01:48,927 --> 02:01:50,512
How old is he?

1480
02:01:50,679 --> 02:01:51,680
Seven months.

1481
02:01:51,847 --> 02:01:54,683
He's a bonny child. Is he well?

1482
02:01:54,850 --> 02:01:58,145
He's cutting his tooth...
he cries all night.

1483
02:01:58,895 --> 02:02:00,564
I feel like crying, too.

1484
02:02:44,441 --> 02:02:48,528
PETIT SAINT ANTOINE DISTRICT

1485
02:02:53,867 --> 02:02:56,661
Comrades, I think they need us.

1486
02:02:57,788 --> 02:03:00,749
Don't worry,
you'll be all right.

1487
02:03:04,211 --> 02:03:05,420
Good-bye, brother.

1488
02:03:08,715 --> 02:03:10,300
When you get home,

1489
02:03:10,884 --> 02:03:12,844
greet the mountains for me.

1490
02:03:35,075 --> 02:03:38,453
- What about Bomier?
- Bomier is wounded!

1491
02:03:40,497 --> 02:03:41,540
This way.

1492
02:03:46,753 --> 02:03:50,382
He's very low.

1493
02:03:50,549 --> 02:03:51,800
I think he's done for.

1494
02:03:53,593 --> 02:03:57,931
Don't tell him. Hold him in
your arms and comfort him.

1495
02:04:31,173 --> 02:04:33,091
I shan't enter the palace.

1496
02:04:34,801 --> 02:04:36,636
Never go to the frontier.

1497
02:04:38,346 --> 02:04:40,182
I'll never see Marseilles again.

1498
02:04:41,725 --> 02:04:43,393
My poor mother.

1499
02:04:44,728 --> 02:04:46,771
She'll worry so much.

1500
02:04:49,191 --> 02:04:53,236
Tell our friends
I spent that 20 francs

1501
02:04:53,820 --> 02:04:55,947
belonging to the freckled boy.

1502
02:04:56,364 --> 02:04:58,074
And I don't regret it.

1503
02:04:59,743 --> 02:05:01,203
Not at all.

1504
02:05:23,767 --> 02:05:24,809
Halt!

1505
02:05:25,352 --> 02:05:26,978
Weapons ready!

1506
02:05:29,272 --> 02:05:30,315
Fire!

1507
02:05:56,007 --> 02:05:59,594
<i>To arms, citizens</i>

1508
02:05:59,761 --> 02:06:02,597
<i>Form your battalions</i>

1509
02:06:21,241 --> 02:06:23,326
- No blindfold.
- As you wish.

1510
02:06:23,493 --> 02:06:26,121
I am no citizen.
I am Arnaud de Hoffenberg.

1511
02:06:27,998 --> 02:06:29,165
Fire!

1512
02:06:29,332 --> 02:06:30,667
Halt!

1513
02:06:44,347 --> 02:06:45,807
Move on, citizens.

1514
02:06:51,229 --> 02:06:52,355
Look.

1515
02:07:01,781 --> 02:07:03,116
LOOTER

1516
02:07:03,283 --> 02:07:05,076
Weapons ready!

1517
02:07:05,243 --> 02:07:06,578
Halt!

1518
02:07:10,624 --> 02:07:16,171
The Paris Commune, as sole
representative of the people,

1519
02:07:16,338 --> 02:07:18,673
charges us, the
Department of Paris,

1520
02:07:18,840 --> 02:07:23,178
to convey its decision to
suspend execution of the Swiss,

1521
02:07:23,345 --> 02:07:26,389
the gentlemen and others
guilty of firing on the people.

1522
02:07:26,973 --> 02:07:30,518
Those guilty will be referred
to a special tribunal

1523
02:07:30,685 --> 02:07:34,731
of judges and juries
elected by the Paris sections.

1524
02:07:34,898 --> 02:07:35,940
And the king?

1525
02:07:36,733 --> 02:07:38,860
He, too, will be tried.

1526
02:07:39,986 --> 02:07:45,075
The Assembly has proclaimed
his provincial deposition

1527
02:07:45,241 --> 02:07:48,119
pending the meeting
of a National Convention

1528
02:07:48,286 --> 02:07:52,290
elected by all Frenchmen,
irrespective of their estate.

1529
02:07:53,875 --> 02:07:57,128
The Commune declares
the country to be in peril,

1530
02:07:57,295 --> 02:08:01,424
and is prepared
to take any measures.

1531
02:08:31,371 --> 02:08:35,041
My feet have never been
so cold in my life.

1532
02:08:35,709 --> 02:08:38,628
How far away is this Valmy,

1533
02:08:38,795 --> 02:08:44,634
where we're supposed to find
this Roussillon regiment?

1534
02:08:45,218 --> 02:08:48,138
It must be over
there by the mill.

1535
02:08:48,304 --> 02:08:50,306
And the Prussians?

1536
02:08:50,473 --> 02:08:51,850
Just beyond.

1537
02:08:52,267 --> 02:08:54,769
- See that firing?
- Yes.

1538
02:08:54,936 --> 02:08:56,479
They're fighting for the road.

1539
02:08:57,021 --> 02:08:58,732
What if they get it?

1540
02:08:59,149 --> 02:09:01,443
The Prussians will
march on Paris.

1541
02:09:01,609 --> 02:09:03,653
The end of our Revolution.

1542
02:09:04,112 --> 02:09:06,614
Bomier will have died in vain.

1543
02:09:07,240 --> 02:09:08,616
No, not in vain.

1544
02:09:09,117 --> 02:09:12,036
Even if the Prussians
wipe us out today,

1545
02:09:12,203 --> 02:09:14,956
they can't wipe out
what we've given the world.

1546
02:09:15,790 --> 02:09:17,834
Before we arrived,

1547
02:09:18,460 --> 02:09:20,879
people just stared at liberty

1548
02:09:21,045 --> 02:09:25,550
like the lover forbidden to
approach his beloved.

1549
02:09:25,967 --> 02:09:28,178
Now, thanks to us,

1550
02:09:28,595 --> 02:09:31,514
the lover embraces his beloved.

1551
02:09:32,140 --> 02:09:35,018
Of course, she's
not yet his mistress,

1552
02:09:35,435 --> 02:09:38,354
and he'll have a hard time
winning her over.

1553
02:09:38,897 --> 02:09:42,650
But even if they're parted,
they know each other now,

1554
02:09:43,443 --> 02:09:45,445
and one day or another
they'll be reunited.

1555
02:09:46,321 --> 02:09:49,240
Well, Javel, what do you say?

1556
02:09:49,407 --> 02:09:52,410
I say that the 20,000 slaves

1557
02:09:52,577 --> 02:09:55,330
and 5,000 traitors
facing us over there

1558
02:09:55,497 --> 02:09:58,124
will never defeat
20 million free men.

1559
02:09:58,291 --> 02:09:59,834
Long live Liberty!

1560
02:11:26,212 --> 02:11:29,507
At Valmy the French
resisted every attack

1561
02:11:29,674 --> 02:11:32,176
of the famous Prussian infantry.

1562
02:11:32,343 --> 02:11:36,097
The great German poet Goethe
was present at their victory.

1563
02:11:36,264 --> 02:11:40,435
His commentary will serve
as a full stop to this tale.

1564
02:11:43,062 --> 02:11:46,900
"At that time and place
a new era began

1565
02:11:47,066 --> 02:11:50,695
for the history of the world."
