All language subtitles for Heir.2021

I thought I had more time.

It's time.

Send the invitations.

I apologize about that, fellas.

Very nice to meet you all.

Anyways, before we
get down to the reason

for why we're here,
let's just sit back,

have a few drinks and
get to know each other.

The symmetry of this film,

the way they composed each
shot, the acting, I mean,

I can't believe it.
- It's pretty good.

Yo, could I?

What do you
think, you want one?

It's been a minute.

It was amazing,
absolutely amazing.

So Logan, let me tell you,

your last film was
truly an experience.

To think that I'm sitting
at this dinner table

with potentially the greatest
filmmaker of our generation.

- I can attest to that
Logan, your last film was,

some might call it a
religious experience.

- Fellas, listen.

We're just some guys having
drinks at a table, that's all.

Nick.

Quite the performance at

the Grammy's a couple
months ago, huh?

- Oh yeah, appreciate that.

I'm just more baffled
that I'm sitting

across from this
mastermind right now.

- Men, listen.

I understand this
is strange, okay?

The reason you're here is
'cause you're some of the most

creative and talented people
in the world right now,

all of you just as
successful as the next.

The world's in front of
each and every one of you.

- Yeah, I made a good
film, great, awesome.

I appreciate your love

and support but I'm
just a guy, truly.

And you want to know the
difference between us and them?

We are the true talent.

The unique, the pure.

We're not the shallow.

So Andrew, any new projects
you've been working on?

- Yeah, actually I'm working
on this project right now.

It's an adaptation of a
book called "The Swerve."

- Yeah, and the, what is it?

"The Nature of Things," right?
- Yeah, that's right.

"The Nature of Things."

- That's good.
- What's the story?

- It's a hunt for
an ancient poem

that basically tells the future.

It's gonna be an adventure film

and we have a big
budget this time.

I'm pretty excited
about that actually.

- You're with Old Oaks
Entertainment, right?

- Yeah, Old Oaks Entertainment.

- Any notable castings?

- We're still in pretty
early stages, so no, not yet.

- What
about Arthur here?

I mean I don't
want to put my foot

in my mouth or anything
but it's a little bit

more dramatic than the
stuff you're used to.

- Arthur, he says
you can't do drama.

- That's good, that's good.
- That's not it at all.

It would be a dream
come true to have you.

- I fuckin' love that.

- I'm just joking,
I'm just joking, wine?

- Oh, no thanks, I'm good.

- This meeting's a celebration
of success, come on.

- No seriously, I'm okay.

- Okay.

Flynn, the master artist,
what have you been working on?

- Well, recently I've
been working less

for myself and more
for commission.

Not because I need
it or anything

but I'm becoming more popular.

You see, these wealthy people,

they're willing to buy my
art for a commission price,

footing their homes, their
apartments or whatever.

It's been good to me.

- Chrone, what about you,
big guy, what you been up to?

I heard that movie "Nebulous."

- Yeah, "Nebulous."

Great script, a cosmic
murder mystery, you watch it?

- Yeah, I did.
- Really intense.

Had my knuckles
white the whole film.

Not to mention, I think it
was your broadest range yet.

- Thank you, I
appreciate that Logan.

Yeah but you know,

it's good for me now
to take some time off.

I mean I've been in
this business, what?

Since I was five years old.

So I'll just take some
time, focus on myself.

That kinda stuff.

- Godspeed.

And my musical
friend what of you?

- I mean I'm on tour, I mean
pretty much late in the tour.

But I got the phone
call about this

and I knew it was something
I couldn't pass up.

So you know, here we are.

- I think you made
the right choice.

Gentlemen, I gather
you here on this

glorious occasion
because you are some

of the world's most up and
coming creators right now.

An artist,

a musician,

an actor

and a director.

I gather you here because
I've written my next script

and one of you will
be chosen to have it

and adapt it into
any way you so choose

as long as you remain true
to the text on the page.

It is the greatest
thing I've ever written.

Now there are a few rules.

You must stay until
Sunday evening

and you must have a good time.

Sunday evening, I will choose

the recipient of the
script and that's all.

We all go our separate ways.

- Why wouldn't you make it?

- Afraid I won't do it
justice this time around.

My last film drained me,
for a lack of better words.

I believe in one of you.

- You expect one
of us to make it?

Bro, I do music, I don't know
how to make a fucking film.

- It's not about knowing.

It's about how you
see it, your vision.

- What's it about?

- That'll be for the eyes of
the chosen one, as you will.

Gentlemen, if you don't want
to be here, then you can go.

There'll be no hard feelings
but, but, but if you stay,

you might like what you find.

Plus, when are you gonna have

a weekend this
interesting again?

Look where you are.

You in, Andrew?

- I'm in.

- Flynn?

- I suppose.

- Arthur?

Nick?
- Fuck yeah.

- Good.

- You gotta let us know
how you made that film.

- It was just a beautiful
idea that hit me.

Sometimes a rose is a
rose is a rose, you know?

- Listen, I'm a music guy but
I'm also a movie guy and that

shit was the most mind-fucking
movie I've ever seen.

- It was pretty damn
good, wasn't it?

- Damn good.

- What's playing
on the screen here?

- This is an old film,
old experimental film

known as "Adoration."

It runs about 11
to 12 hours long.

It fuels my creativity,
I watch it all the time

and every time I
watch it, it changes

or I do.

I don't know.

- Is there a story to it?

- I've been trying to piece one

together for a long time now.

I believe it's about
a young girl wandering

the woods and this young
girl has two sides,

one side human but one
side, something else.

Such courage in it.

You know, you'd be surprised.

I come off as a movie guy
but I'm also a music guy.

So I've been experimenting
with the guitar a bit.

I call this one "The Cave."

- Damn, love it, yo.

You got that Robert
Johnson vibe in there.

- Yeah?

Robert Johnson, huh?

- Who's Robert Johnson?

- A man who sold his
soul to the Devil

at a crossroad in Mississippi.

In exchange, the Devil handed
him back his guitar, tuned.

- I got one more for you.

Beautiful song, right Flynn?

- Yes.

- This place is amazing, Logan.

You live here year round?

- Actually it runs
in the family.

It's where my father
used to write.

But no, I usually am in my place

in New York or my
apartment in LA.

I'm very fortunate, you see.

But I know you guys have
all bright futures too.

I mean, we're all
practically the same age.

I was just at the right
place at the right time.

It's called luck.

- Luck may have a part
of it but nobody's

gonna doubt the greatness
in that head of yours.

- I appreciate that,
Arthur, I truly do.

- So, I saw your debut
film, very, very well done.

- Thank you.

- How were you able
to get all the pieces

together and make
such a good product?

- Well, I was in my
college town and I figured

I'd make a movie
about depression,
existentialism, anxiety.

I had my boys there with
me, so we did it together

and honestly I never expected
it to but it blew up.

- Yeah, I really enjoyed it.

- Thanks.

- Truly an accomplishment.

If I'm not too bold to say it,

you come from the
middle of nowhere

with no connections in
this industry or any others

and yet you were found,
your voice was heard.

- Thank you, but it
was very unexpected.

- Very.

Flynn, you're a
deeply unique artist.

Tell me something profound.

- Well,

I guess it's a famous quote.

"If you think,

you are doomed."

That's why I paint.

- "If you think,
you are doomed."

That's one way of
looking at it of course.

Man's greatest
enemy is his mind.

But I also believe man's
greatest ally is his mind.

So if you think you are doomed,
no, I don't believe that.

If you think, you may be free.

- Cheers to that.

- Cheers to us, men.

To our work and our lives.

- That was fun, wasn't it?

- Yeah, it was.

I like your friend Lauren a lot.

- Yeah, she's the best.

- Where's she from again?

- California, she cannot stop
talking about your movie.

- Yeah, it was
really sweet of her.

- So, have you spoken
to mom recently?

- No, I haven't gotten around
to it but I probably should.

- You really should,
I don't know.

She just seems super
lonely these days.

- I know, I've just been so
busy, I haven't been able to.

- Yeah, I get it.

Thanks for coming to visit
me, you being a big shot now.

- Shut up, you know I
love coming down here.

- Well, there was
also one more thing

that I want to
talk to you about.

- Oh yeah?

- So I kept it a secret for
a couple of days now when

you were visiting and I want
you to be the first to know.

- What is it?

Don't tell me you're pregnant.

- No, Luke proposed.

- No.
- Yes.

- Oh my god.
- Can you believe it?

- Congrats.
- Thanks.

- Wow.

How'd he do it?

- I'll tell you in the car.
- Okay.

Wow, I'm so happy for you.

- Yeah, he's really
the best guy.

- Shit.

Oh jeez.

- You're
good to drive, right?

- Yeah, oh yeah.

- You didn't drink or anything?

- I had like one or
two, but I'm good.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, absolutely.

- Andrew,

you're so soft-spoken.

I've seen you in interviews
before and you're so talkative.

- Yeah, I was probably
fucking drunk.

I had a bit of a drinking
problem on my last film.

So, I've toned it down a bit.

- Cheers to that.

I guess it takes courage to
admit when you have a problem.

Me myself, personally,

I never use this to cope with
anything going on around me.

I use it as a point of
celebration amongst friends.

It's good.

- On tour, I probably
drink way too much.

I mean every city,
new night, new liquor.

There's not really
much I can do about it.

It's a terrible
habit but you know,

it comes with the
career, I love doing it

and I'm rich, so
I guess I'm gone.

- You enjoy performing?

- Yeah of course, I
mean I love performing.

All my best memories.

- I love our shows.

Having random
unintelligent rat critics

scurry around my work,
trying to figure it out.

That's why I drink.

- It was a funny thing.

In old Italy, a parallel
between alcohol and death.

I'm not saying alcohol
necessarily causes death, no.

But it moves us from a
point of clear consciousness

closer to death, as if
we're on a spectrum.

Funny, isn't it?

Because when you drink, you
feel so much more alive.

And I must warn you, I have
another guest in the house.

He is my doctor.

Well, more my mentor.

I've been going through
a slightly troubled time

since my last film and
he's helping me through it.

He's a bit antisocial,
a bit unorthodox

but pay him no mind,
he means very well.

- What kinda doctor?

- A psychologist, more or less.

Don't be startled
when you see him.

He's just a bit out there.

- Out there how?

- You'll know when you see him.

Good morning, Andrew.

- Good morning, Logan.

- You drink coffee?

- Of course.

- Well, there's
coffee in the kitchen.

Grab yourself a
cup and then after,

meet me outside, I got
something to show you, okay?

- Sure.
- All right.

So, you saw my doctor wandering

the grounds last
night, didn't you?

- I did, how'd you know?

- You seem uncomfortable here.

The only reason I can
see causing that is you

witnessing a masked man wander
outside your room at night.

- It's true, why does
he wear that mask?

- He's strange, his methods
aren't always approved.

- Approved, approved how?

- He uses hypnotism,

brings me to a place of
peace and clear-mindedness.

The mask just calms me,

it separates me
from his human side.

You know it all started
right here, what we do,

on walls just like these.

- What's that?

- Art.

No likes, no
streams, no dislikes.

Just pure.

- How do you know
if it's any good?

- Funny.

Maybe it's the way it should be.

Let's go back.

? No sleep again, fuck
it, I'm healthy I think ?

? Smokin' weed again, she
left her purse in my cig ?

? Neighbors are yelling 'cause
the kitchen started smelling ?

? Like the weed me
and my friends ?

? Are outside rolling
and inhaling it ?

? I'm in my room so productive ?

? Honestly I'm fucking lying,
my ass is doing nothing ?

? Everything I make turns to
dust like the urn spilled ?

? If the shoes fit, then I'm
returning 'em to Goodwill ?

? Homie, this is Sleepwalker ?

? Events were so unfortunate ?

? Scribbles on the
canvas, hopefully they
turn to portraits ?

? My verse is like
a pilot painting ?

? Hopping out of hibernation
strictly for the pilot nation ?

- Why

do you keep

making me watch this?

Please shut this off.

- Logan,

I swear on my life, I saw a body

right there.

Just floating, motionless.

- You're telling me you
saw a dead body in my pool?

- Yeah.

I mean,

I thought I did.

I could just be scaring myself.

- Who was it?

I don't know, I couldn't tell.

- Strange.

- So what's been
going on with Flynn?

- I have no idea.

I'm not associating
with that schizophrenic,

splatter-painting maniac.

- What?

Why? He's a good guy.

- I don't doubt that but
have you not heard the story?

- What story?

- All right, look.

The man was institutionalized
his whole life.

He gets out, a year later,

his entire home burns down
and his whole family dies.

They say it was a coincidence.

I don't really buy it.

- Oh my god.

That's terrible.

You got a cigarette?

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

- So,

Sleepwalker, I'm curious
how you came up with that.

- That's a good question.

I guess I just kinda see people

as these zombies
just kinda going

through the motions
every day, sleepwalking.

I'd say I'm one of
those zombies too.

- I can get to that.

- What about you, Arthur?

How'd you get into acting?

- Like I said last night,

I've been doing this since
I was five years old.

I guess it stems from my father.

Let's just say he
was a loose cannon

and when I was young,
my mother wanted

to get me away from that
as much as possible.

So when I was young, she signed
me up for acting classes.

I started doing that and
it's led me to this point.

- Well,

you've done pretty
damn well for yourself.

You should be proud of that.

- I guess I'm just scared.

I'm scared that these
violent roles I portray

are just slowly
turning me into him.

- So why do you
think he chose us?

I mean there's millions of
actors, directors, musicians.

I don't get what
makes us so special.

- 'Cause we're all
fucked up in the head.

- I see you're not drinking,
which is admirable.

But you gotta think,

you're in a position most
people would kill for.

You're at a beautiful home with

one of the world's most
acclaimed directors

and other successful
creators and yet,

you seem to not be
enjoying yourself.

- It's not that, it's

just something happened
to me recently and

I don't like not feeling
in control anymore.

- No time for control.

Beautiful day, isn't it?

- Yes.

- "Pulp Fiction's" overrated.

- Are you out of
your goddamn mind?

Look, you're a musician.

I wouldn't expect
you to understand.

But "Pulp Fiction" is
a stroke of genius.

"Fight Club," Fight
Club," now that is a film.

You could boast Tarkovsky
all the live long day

if you want to but "Fight
Club" is prime cinema.

- Honestly, one of the
worst movies I've ever seen.

- Your last album was garbage.

- Are you fucking kidding me?

Coming out to my
work, I literally had

a number one on the billboard,
you know how hard that is?

- I don't care, it's my opinion.

- Nick.

I don't know much about
you or where you come from.

Tell me a little
bit about yourself.

- I mean, honestly
not much to tell.

I bounced around a lot as a kid.

Never really knew my dad

but was always pretty
inspired by music.

That was pretty
much my sanctuary.

I made a band with my friends.

I mean, got picked
up by a label,

did some shows, saw
some success but

eventually broke up 'cause
of creative differences.

It's probably how I
lost all my friends but

I mean, that's how it
goes when you're creative.

- You got a girl?
- No, I don't have a girl.

But you know how
that story goes.

Fucking everything
with a heartbeat.

Honestly, I would
like a girl but

I never really met one that
has good intentions, you know?

I'm always on the road
meeting so many people,

everyone just wants different
things and I don't know,

I guess it's what comes
with the industry,

comes with the job.

One day maybe.

- There was

once a story

of a Saint,

Saint Francis of Assisi.

This man

was a Prince,

a partier,

an heir.

One day, some say

he heard the voice of
God speak into his ear.

He gave up his old life
and occupied a new one.

One of simplicity,
one of purity.

Later on, he underwent
an experience known
as the stigmata,

otherwise known as
the wounds of Christ.

To him, this was
not suffering, no.

To him,

this was ecstasy.

Imagine the feeling.

Anyways,

he went on to worship the
sun, the moon, the sands.

He would save worms from roads
so they were not crushed.

And he went on to
become the Great Saint.

A beautiful story,
isn't it Arthur?

- You up for a scrap?
- Yeah.

Logan, tell us when.

- Fight.

- Are you fucking kidding me?

- Arthur, what the fuck, man?

You could have
fucking killed him.

Dude, what?

We have to fucking help him.

- Ecstasy.

- I gotcha.

You all right?

Come on, we're
going right there.

You'll be all right, okay?

I'm gonna take care of you.

Lay down right here.

- Why are we by the pool?

- We just gotta get away
from those guys for a second.

You need anything?
- No, no.

I'm just gonna sit here.
- Okay.

You let me know.

- Andrew.

Something's not right here.

It's in the air.

- How do you mean?

- I paint because I
had loving parents

who pushed me in the
direction of creativity.

But there was always more.

I dream

and when I dream, I see things.

- What kind of things?
- Horrible things.

I once had a dream that my house

was burning with my
family inside of it.

I woke up to my house ablaze.

I was the only one
able to escape.

I couldn't sleep for months.

- That's terrible.

I'm really sorry.

- I changed my name.

I occupied a new life.

One of purity.

- You know,

your art,

it's so bright and colorful.

I never would've known
you had such a dark past.

- The colors of fire and smoke.

I had a dream
before I came here.

I saw the doctor.

I saw his mask

here.

I don't know what it meant.

I don't know what it means,

but it was unsettling.

- So you've seen him too.

- He wanders.

He's lurking, he's watching us.

- Who is he?

- I don't know.

- Can I ask you a question?

- Yeah.

- You take medication?

- I do.

- You think you should
be drinking on it?

- No.

- Listen,

I don't feel in control here.

- There's no time
for control, Andrew.

- Quite the show you put on.

- What are you talking about?

I don't understand.

I don't understand what
happens when I'm here tomorrow

and this new project
becomes mine.

- You just gotta
be patient, okay?

- I'm not patient,

I've never been patient.

How do I get it?

- That you gotta find
out for yourself.

The movies you're in are
pretty violent, right?

A lot of training, I presume?

It's funny, the more
real the violence

looks on screen, the
more audiences respond.

It's interesting because
if it were to be real

and an audience just
believed it was staged,

they would applaud, unbeknownst
to its haunting reality.

- You have to be
psychotic to do that.

- The greatest usually are.

Andrew, sit down
and keep me company.

Where is everybody?

- I think Flynn and
Arthur went to bed

and Nick is resting by the pool.

It's been a long day.

- I would say so.

I've been thinking a lot.

What do you know
about astral travel?

- Astral travel?

- Yeah, like a person
leaving their physical body

and traveling the universe
in any way they so choose.

- I mean I've heard of it but

I don't really
know much about it.

- You know how
there's no evidence,

scientific evidence
of the human soul?

But I think it's so
ignorant to think

we're just here to multiply.

You know, we are the eyes of
the universe watching itself

and sometimes,

you don't like what you find.

You know, I know
what happened to you.

- What?

- I didn't feel comfortable
talking to you about it

but we had a good day
today and I figured

you can tell me a
little bit about it.

How about you take a drink
and tell me about it?

- If you know what
happened to me,

then why would you ask
me if I wanted a drink?

- Take a drink and tell
me about it, Andrew.

- Okay.

So I went down to
Dallas where she worked.

She wanted to introduce
me to her friends

and

so we went out and I was
the one driving that night

and she asked me right
before we got in the car

if I was good to drive.

I said yes

and I put the key
in the ignition.

That was the biggest
mistake of my life.

You know what happens next.

- You killed

your sister.

It's all right.

It's all right, I'm
going to sleep now, okay?

Have a good night, Atlas.

- We have to call the cops.

- We don't need
to call the cops.

Nick

was a druggie, I found
heroin in his bags.

He was high and he fell into
the pool and he drowned.

He was an artist on the run.

He had no family.

Careers will be ruined if
police were to get involved,

if press were to get involved
and none of us here want that.

This weekend was a secret.

It remains a secret.

It does not exist.

You will all
understand by the end.

Okay, Andrew?

- Okay.

- Arthur?

- Yeah.

- Flynn?

Flynn?

- Yeah.

- There are shovels in the shed.

We bury him.

Good work, men.

Let's go back to the pool.

Drinks on me.

- What have we done, Flynn?

- Where are we?

Where's Arthur?

- You feeling okay?

- I had another dream

last night.

The one with my parents.

But it was me who
burnt the house down.

That is why I survived.

- That's not real.

- I don't know
what's real, Andrew.

I don't remember.

- Who are you?

What are you doing to us?

Flynn, are you out here?

Come on man, we
gotta go right now.

Flynn?

Oh shit, Flynn.

Arthur, what have you done?

Don't you know he's
done something to us?

You're not yourself.

What the hell is going on?

- Why don't you
put down the gun?

I'm not gonna hurt you.

- Hurt me, you're
not gonna hurt me?

I'll fucking shoot you right now

if you don't tell
me what's going on.

- Allow me.

It's called HEIR,

H-E-I-R.

In 1800s France, there was a
man named Josephin Paillat.

He began an Academy,
one that worshiped art.

There is spirituality
in what we do.

Religion will die, but
art will remain forever.

When churches burn
and temples crumble,

we will praise in
the concert hall.

When priests betray
and idols become human,

we will pray to the ones who
give us stories and songs.

This is our fate, Andrew.

- What are you talking about?

- What many don't know is that

the Academy is the reason
for pop culture today.

The most influential artworks
and films have been curated

in order to choreograph
modern day thought.

The world has been hypnotized.

You, here,

have been hypnotized.

- So the vial in your
bedroom, that's what that is.

- Like those who came
before me, I have learned

about hypnosis

and I needed a
little extra help.

It's called scipolomi,

it gives the taker a
sense of obedience.

I wanted to gather the
greatest creative minds

at the zenith of their lives
to see what they would do.

You were the most repellent

because of your mind,

you survived because of
the strength of your mind.

There is no escaping the
hypnosis for the ordinary.

It's in the films you watch,
in the books you read,

in the art you're moved
by and the songs you love.

Some like me just
know how to use it

to orchestrate it, to create it.

This script in my
hand is the next link

in a century-long
chain of true hypnotic,

spiritual art.

And it's yours.

- Why don't you make it?

- I haven't been chosen.

wants you,

your vision,

not mine.

Tell me, what is the film about?

- It's a beautiful gun
in your hand, isn't it?

- Yes.

- Please.
