00:26:26,044 --> 00:26:29,673 You are watching that revenge, and you don't remember that you drove the people to it. 284 00:26:29,756 --> 00:26:33,051 Now you protest, but it's too late to start crying over spilt blood. 285 00:26:33,135 --> 00:26:36,597 What is the blood of these aristocrats compared with the blood the people shed for you? 286 00:26:36,722 --> 00:26:38,640 Many of them had their throats slit by your gangs. 287 00:26:38,724 --> 00:26:40,851 Many of them died more slowly in your workshops. 288 00:26:41,101 --> 00:26:45,272 So what is this sacrifice compared with the sacrifices the people made to keep you fat? 289 00:26:45,439 --> 00:26:49,443 What are a few looted mansions compared with their looted lives? 290 00:26:49,818 --> 00:26:51,570 You don't care... 291 00:26:52,529 --> 00:26:56,742 ...if the foreign armies with whom you're making secret deals march in and massacre the people. 292 00:26:56,825 --> 00:26:59,453 You hope the people will be wiped out, so you can flourish... 293 00:26:59,536 --> 00:27:03,373 ...and when they are wiped out, not a muscle will twitch in your puffy bourgeois faces... 294 00:27:03,457 --> 00:27:06,376 ...which are now all twisted up with anger and disgust. 295 00:27:08,837 --> 00:27:13,258 Monsieur de Sade, we can't allow this... 296 00:27:15,093 --> 00:27:17,679 ...you really can't call this education. 297 00:27:17,763 --> 00:27:21,391 It isn't making my patients any better, they're all becoming over-excited. 298 00:27:22,476 --> 00:27:28,398 After all, we invited the public here to show them that our patients are not all social lepers. 299 00:27:28,482 --> 00:27:33,320 We only show these people massacred, because this indisputably occurred. 300 00:27:33,570 --> 00:27:38,867 Please calmly watch these barbarous displays which could not happen nowadays. 301 00:27:38,951 --> 00:27:44,665 The men of that time mostly now demised were primitive, we are more civilised. 302 00:27:51,129 --> 00:27:54,716 The execution of the aristocrats. 303 00:27:55,217 --> 00:27:57,302 Look at them, Marat... 304 00:27:57,553 --> 00:28:01,223 ...these men who once owned everything. 305 00:28:01,807 --> 00:28:04,268 Now that their pleasures have been taken away... 306 00:28:04,351 --> 00:28:08,021 ...the guillotine saves them from endless boredom. 307 00:28:08,146 --> 00:28:12,526 Gaily they offer their heads as if for coronation. 308 00:28:12,901 --> 00:28:16,613 Is not that the pinnacle of perversion? 309 00:29:12,461 --> 00:29:15,672 The execution of the king! 310 00:30:22,698 --> 00:30:27,077 Conversation concerning life and death. 311 00:30:27,870 --> 00:30:32,416 I read in your books, de Sade, in one of your immortal works... 312 00:30:32,541 --> 00:30:35,335 ...that the animating force of nature is destruction... 313 00:30:36,003 --> 00:30:39,923 ...and that our only instrument for measuring life is death. 314 00:30:43,010 --> 00:30:44,553 Correct, Marat. 315 00:30:45,179 --> 00:30:48,682 But man has given a false importance to death. 316 00:30:50,350 --> 00:30:56,231 Any animal, plant or man that dies adds to Nature's compost heap... 317 00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:01,236 ...becomes the manure without which nothing could grow, nothing could be created. 318 00:31:01,403 --> 00:31:05,073 Death is simply part of the process. 319 00:31:05,365 --> 00:31:08,285 Every death, even the cruellest death... 320 00:31:08,619 --> 00:31:11,705 ...drowns in the total indifference of Nature. 321 00:31:11,788 --> 00:31:14,625 Nature would watch unmoved... 322 00:31:14,708 --> 00:31:17,920 ...if we destroyed the entire human race. 323 00:31:23,509 --> 00:31:25,886 I hate Nature... 324 00:31:26,261 --> 00:31:31,725 ...this passionless spectator, this unbreakable iceberg-face that can bear everything... 325 00:31:31,808 --> 00:31:37,481 ...this goads us to greater and greater acts. 326 00:31:38,232 --> 00:31:40,108 But though I hate this goddess... 327 00:31:40,192 --> 00:31:45,531 ...I see that the greatest acts in history have followed her laws. 328 00:31:45,823 --> 00:31:50,369 Nature teaches a man to fight for his own happiness. 329 00:31:50,452 --> 00:31:54,540 And if he must kill to gain, that happens... 330 00:31:54,623 --> 00:31:58,627 ...while then the murder is natural. 331 00:31:59,670 --> 00:32:03,340 Haven't we always crushed down those weaker than ourselves? 332 00:32:03,423 --> 00:32:08,387 Haven't we torn at their throats with continuous villainy and lust? 333 00:32:08,971 --> 00:32:15,394 Haven't we experimented in our laboratories before applying the final solution? 334 00:32:15,936 --> 00:32:18,522 Man is a destroyer. 335 00:32:19,064 --> 00:32:23,861 But if he kills and takes no pleasure in it, he's a machine. 336 00:32:24,444 --> 00:32:29,032 He should destroy with passion, like a man. 337 00:32:33,495 --> 00:32:37,249 Let me remind you of the execution of Damiens... 338 00:32:37,332 --> 00:32:41,879 ...after his unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Louis the Fifteenth. 339 00:32:42,963 --> 00:32:45,340 Remember how Damiens died? 340 00:32:45,507 --> 00:32:49,970 How gentle the guillotine is compared with his torture? 341 00:32:51,555 --> 00:32:54,975 It lasted four hours while the crowd goggled... 342 00:32:55,058 --> 00:33:00,439 ...and Casanova at an upper window felt under the skirts of the ladies watching. 343 00:33:01,023 --> 00:33:05,986 His chest, arms, thighs and calves were slit open. 344 00:33:06,111 --> 00:33:08,280 Molten lead was poured into each slit... 345 00:33:08,447 --> 00:33:13,076 ...boiling oil they poured over him, burning wax, sulphur. 346 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:14,912 They burnt off his hands... 347 00:33:14,995 --> 00:33:17,623 ...they tied ropes to his arms and to his legs... 348 00:33:17,706 --> 00:33:21,627 ...and harnessed him to four horses and geed them up. 349 00:33:22,336 --> 00:33:23,962 They pulled at him for an hour... 350 00:33:24,129 --> 00:33:27,049 ...but they'd never done it before, and he wouldn't... 351 00:33:28,008 --> 00:33:29,718 ...come apart... 352 00:33:29,843 --> 00:33:33,680 ...until they sawed through his shoulders and hips. 353 00:33:34,515 --> 00:33:37,893 So he lost the first arm, and then the second arm... 354 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,812 ...and he watched what they did to him... 355 00:33:41,188 --> 00:33:46,860 ...and then he turned to us, and he shouted out so that everyone could understand. 356 00:33:47,444 --> 00:33:51,198 And when he lost the first leg and then the second leg... 357 00:33:51,406 --> 00:33:53,617 ...he still lived. 358 00:33:54,785 --> 00:33:59,873 And in the end, he hung there, a bloody torso with a nodding head... 359 00:34:00,123 --> 00:34:01,583 ...just groaning... 360 00:34:01,792 --> 00:34:07,673 ...and staring at the crucifix which the father confessor held up to him. 361 00:34:13,804 --> 00:34:15,389 That... 362 00:34:15,472 --> 00:34:17,182 ...was a festival... 363 00:34:17,432 --> 00:34:20,185 ...with which today's festivals can't compete. 364 00:34:20,519 --> 00:34:23,897 Even our inquisition has no meaning nowadays. 365 00:34:23,981 --> 00:34:26,066 Now they are all official. 366 00:34:26,149 --> 00:34:29,570 We condemn to death without emotion... 367 00:34:30,112 --> 00:34:34,366 ...and there's no singular, personal death to be had... 368 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:40,080 ...only an anonymous, cheapened death which we could dole out to entire nations... 369 00:34:40,247 --> 00:34:42,749 ...on a mathematical basis... 370 00:34:43,834 --> 00:34:49,840 ...until the time comes for all life to be extinguished. 371 00:34:50,382 --> 00:34:52,259 Citizen Marquis... 372 00:34:53,302 --> 00:34:55,888 ...you may sit as a judge in our tribunals... 373 00:34:56,054 --> 00:35:01,310 ...you may have fought with us last September when we dragged out of the gaols the aristocrats who were plotting against us... 374 00:35:01,602 --> 00:35:04,563 ...but you still talk like a grand seigneur... 375 00:35:04,771 --> 00:35:08,650 ...and what you call the indifference of Nature is your own lack of compassion. 376

prayed to that image of their helplessness. 408 00:38:07,204 --> 00:38:09,081 And the priests said:.. 409 00:38:09,164 --> 00:38:12,501 ..."Raise your hands to heaven, bend your knees..." 410

banging their heads on equality? 855 01:11:17,694 --> 01:11:20,864 If each could be only a small link in a long and heavy chain? 856 01:11:22,115 --> 01:11:26,370 You still believe that it's possible to unite mankind... 857 01:11:26,787 --> 01:11:32,584 ...when already you see how the few idealists who did join together in the name of harmony... 858 01:11:32,668 --> 01:11:34,753 ...are now out of
