All language subtitles for The True Nature of Bernadette.1972.DVDRip

Mr. Brown please. It's his wife.

I'm going shopping with Yanick.
Don't worry, we'll be a little late.

No; I'm phoning so you don't worry.
We might be very late.

That's it. Yes.

See you later, George.

Hi, I'm Bernadette.
I bought a farm near here.

May I get through, please?

This is my son Yanick.
Say hello, Yanick.

Please, can we pass through?

We've been driving a long time.

Nice day.

You really like fruit, don't you?

Would you like an orange,
a grapefruit?

No, thanks.

Can I pass through now?

You have no right to do this!

The road belongs to everyone.

It's federal, it's provincial.
It's illegal.

I know the law.
My husband is a lawyer.

Give me back my banana!

What do you hope to gain by this?

I'm warning you, get that thing
off the road. Let me through!

- No.

Listen, Thomas. I'm only the mayor
of a small village.

But I know very important people.
They've more power than you.

Then fetch them!
I want to talk to them.

So you have grievances. Who hasn t?

Think the Government is going to do
something just for you?

All you're going to do is make us lose
our contracts.

And lose our credit.

O.K. I'm getting the police.

I'm getting the police.

Come on Felicien. We'll settle that.
Come along, Rock.

Listen, Thomas.

How's it going?

We grew up together, right?

Against who are you fighting today?

Against Rock who works for you,
and me who delivers your mail.

No one important around...
no one from the city.

I'm from the city.

But I'm not important. Anyhow,
I'm moving to the country.

I'm Bernadette.

I'm Antoine. Delighted!

I'm Rock. Hello.

This is my house. Isn't it beautiful?

Well... yes.

Rock works because I employ him

and I don't declare it
to the Unemployment Insurance.

Felicien is mayor of a dying village.

As for Antoine,
tell us how you lost your land.

And how many debts you have.

Listen, Thomas!

I'll pay my debts.

I'm an honourable man.

Your honour is good for what?

The credit companies?

The supermarket chains?

At least let Rock through.
He works for you!

And let this nice lady pass.

She hasn't done you any harm.

Christ. What an irritating bunch.

You're richer than any of us.

You've only got your father
to support.

You're a trouble-maker, Thomas.

A bloody trouble-maker.

I don't know you, but
what you're doing is not very bright.

Childish contestation.

You've got everything,
clean air, nature,

and you don't value it.

I never thought of that!

Do you know the degree of sulphuric
anhydride in Montreal?

You don't, do you?
Yanick couldn't breathe.

His eyes were as read as your shirt.

Here, he can breathe fresh air.

I want him to be a child of nature.

I don't want him to read or count.

The secret is to live close to
nature.

I want him to love flowers
and animals.

I'm vegetarian, are you?

I like a steak now and then!

You smoke.

That's bad for your health.

Yanick won't smoke.

I'll teach him to make love
like they do in Polynesia.

Mothers teach their sons
to masturbate. Beautiful, isn't it?

Very beautiful!

Not everyone has
a Polynesian mother.

Some of us have to manage alone!

Are you married?

Then you have no children?
- Well, no.

Are you living with a woman?
- I live with my father.

With your father.

Do you know the house I'm going to?

Yes. You'll be my neighbour.

That's great!

Why is it great?

I don't know. It's great, that's all.

I hardly know you,
but I detest you already.

What you're doing is ridiculous.

I know it's ridiculous.

Thomas is blocking the road
in protest.

Shall I let the meter run?

I couldn't care less!

I have Madelaine in the car.

She just learnt her son will
never walk or talk ever.

She's been crying for an hour.

Will you let us through?

- No.

Come on, Thomas!

Mummy, I want to see the cows.

Don't cry!

It will work out.
Doctors can be wrong.

I'm sure it will be alright.

He is beautiful.

How old is he?

- Five.

Please, please don't cry!

Her name is Madelaine Cantin.

She's not married.
You know, around here...

I'll look after the boy for a bit.

How are things?

You're being punished for your sins.

Don't listen to him!

Madelaine! You have lots of courage!

Lovely, isn't it?

The salesman was right.

No imitation, it's all real wood.

There's a porch to run around in...
happy?

Let's go and look.

Inside it's colonial, lovely!

God, you frightened me!

You frightened me too!

My name is Octave,
my horse is called ''Black Misery''.

I'm the new owner.

It's a pleasure. Excuse me, Miss...

Do I know you?

I'm going to live here with my son.

Oh, that's your son.

Hello, Yanick. Beautiful boy!

The horse is yours?

Lovely, isn't it?

Beautiful... and big.

Well, yes, quite big.

This is hay.

Hay? In the kitchen?

Well, you know.

You have nowhere to stay?

You have no home, is that it?

Poor thing!

Listen, you can stay here

on one condition:
Black Misery sleeps outside!

Outside Black Misery, come on!

Outside with you!

Come on, outside!

God, everything's dirty!

Want to help?

Where shall we start?

We'll start with the stove.

Must be terrible to be alone.

I'm sorry for you. But you're
better off here than in Montreal.

Sleeping in dirty streets,
the smell, the noise...

You can stay here
as long as you want.

You're very kind, Bernadette.

Let me do that!

Hurt yourself?

Dear God!

You shouldn't have... come lie down.

Careful now.

You really shouldn't have.

It hurts!

- Here?

In the thigh.

I'd massage it, but there's no
alcohol.

Never mind, lie down.

A little higher.

Just a little higher.

Still higher.

Well... if it'll make you happy.

A fruit tree bears fruit.

Each fruit is first a flower.

The flower is pregnant.

The grain bears another fruit,
and then?

Another fruit tree!

It's the cycle of nature.

The water of a well,
the most natural!

No chloride, no detergent.

- It's dry.

Because it doesn't know us yet.

Where's my father?

Octave is your...?
- He is my father. Where is he?

I don't know.

I'm not coming home, I live here now.

I like it better.
- Come on, father!

I'm not going home.

You're a bad son, I'm staying here.

He shuts me in, Miss, for days.

He wants to kill Black Misery.
The only friend I got.

Believe me, it's true!

You really want to kill that horse?

Yes I do.

An old horse that can hardly walk.

You know its age? 22 years.
It's cruel to keep it alive.

If you kill it,
I'll never speak to you again.

Come on Black Misery!

Have your water analysed.

Send a sample to the Government.
Repair the roof. It leaks.

I forbid you to kill the horse!

He doesn't listen to anyone.

I can't look after the cows
nor the chickens.

He sold my dog too.

Can you look after Yanick?

Why are you so cruel to animals?
And to your father?

I don't see cruelty
the same way you do.

You're really going to kill?

My father or the horse?

It's kind to kill a sick horse.
Why feed it?

Respect for life.

Respect for your father.

If it were mine, would you kill it?

We don't agree on respect either.

But you respect your father?

- And me?

Yesterday you left because you
respected Madelaine and her child.

Why did you leave then?

It's stupid to do alone what everyone
should be doing.

Mr. Felicien is here.

With important people.

They're looking for you.

They'll listen to your grievances.

...Government Consultant.

...agronomist from Montreal.

An agronomist who lives in the city?

He's a member of the Federation
of Egg Producers.

A member of the Federation
or the Supermarket monopoly?

We defend our position
when possible.

I have excellent reports
on your honesty.

You benefited greatly from the
agricultural grant; I have the figures.

Give them, then.

No, we're here to listen to you.

You blocked the road.

That's a criminal act - why?

You talk like a cop.

You don't have to answer.
But it would be better.

Who's asking the question,
the police

or the Ministry of Agriculture?

You trust nobody!

We're on your side.

8000 hens and no permit
- that's illegal.

You're up against the Government, the
Federation and the stores.

That's quite a crowd.

Don't be smart.

Lamothe has a good solution.

You close the hen-house,
and don't form a local Union.

No use anyway.

Things get around.

Know what you're getting into?

A sinking ship.

Want to drown us with you?

What are we supposed to do?

Make bikinis or Boeing 707?

Try to understand.

You aren t even a minority,
you're all alone.

Can I see the hens?

Are you really going to teach your son
to make love?

You heard that!

Did I upset you?

Can I hold your hand?

I never held a woman's hand.

- Never?

Poor you.

You must be shy.

Don't let your leg give you a
complex.

You hair is beautiful, and your eyes.

And you look intelligent.

Could you teach me to make love?

I'm at ease with you.

You don't want to?

Of course I do. Come over tonight.

Why not now?

Undo my blouse.

We'll go stage by stage.

Slowly, one thing at the time.

You can kiss my breasts,
because you are beautiful.

They aren't used to freedom.

Freedom won't hurt them.

You are free, go on, go!

I'm so glad you are here.

You are a good, kind woman.

It's so hard to say.

I can't say what I want to say.
All I can do is cry.

Just say it. You can't offend me.

I can't stand it anymore.

He doesn't walk, he doesn t talk.
Why isn't he normal?

I can't even talk about it.

I haven't led a decent life,
but I don't deserve that!

You aren t a bad woman, Madelaine.

I didn't drink, I swear it.

I believe you.

Take him, I give him to you.

I beg you.

Then I kill myself and him too.

You are very depressed.

I take him, but I know you'll come
and take him back.

Don't cry, this is your home now.

Come see Uncle Octave.

What's his name?

Don't cry.

This is your new friend.

He doesn't walk and doesn't talk.

Be very nice to him.

Mail for me?

An invitation from Thomas
to the meeting of the Union.

Don't go there.

That's your name, Bonheur?
(Happiness)

It's Bernadette.
Bonheur is my maiden name.

I thought you were married!

I said she must be married.

Catholic marriage?

Will your husband join you here?

These days it doesn't matter.

I have a present for you.

Come along.

It won't cost you much.

Nice, isn't it?

Its name is Hector.
$15, and it's yours. Let me say $12!

There's a recipe.

Kill it before boiling it.

I am vegetarian.

You don't eat meat?

Hector, I'll have to eat you myself.

No, I take him.

- $15.

Is it true you believe in free love?

Must be fun!

Meat makes man aggressive.

That causes war.

If you don't want to be soldiers,
eat fruit and fresh eggs.

But not Thomas' eggs,
his are artificial.

You need a name.

Which one would you like?

Napoleon - that's beautiful.

Finished eating? To bed now.

We'll play motorcars.

I brought guests for dinner.

I'm the happy one.

- Thank you.

Very sweet of you.

Wait for Bernadette!

Can Moise sit down?

- Certainly.

Why not eat right away?

I just made a delicious fruit soup.

Strawberries, bananas... delicious.

I'm not very hungry.

I'm not keen on fruit soup.

You don't have chicken soup or...?

Everybody here is vegetarian.

No exceptions!

- Vegetarian? -

I'll explain later.

It's forbidden to eat meat.

A religion...

Do you like it?

Yes. It tastes of jam.

Do you like it?

Too much banana perhaps.

Go and ask now.

We can't wait.

God, what a hurry!

In the groin?
God, that must be painful!

Unbearable!

I'll massage you upstairs.
It'll do you good.

If I told you, you'd never believe
it!

Come on, try to walk!

Let's try again!

Come on, walk towards me!

Madelaine's child?

Take him to a Montreal specialist,
not a country doctor.

You can hear, can't you?

Take him to Montreal.

I don't think
the doctors can do anything.

He doesn't walk
because he doesn't want to.

Napoleon's name is Gilles.

It's the doctor's business, not
yours.

Had the water analysed?

Here's the address.

Infuriating man!

Where's my father?

- No idea.

See my father?

Give him his old age pension cheque!

That's MY money!
He wants to steal it.

Ungrateful, rotten son!

Got something to tell me?

I don t think it'll interest you.

Why not? You are always prejudiced!

You refuse to teach me things
about the country!

You're selfish!

Egocentric!

I have 3 cows that belong to you.

- Cows?

You bought them with the house.

A threshing machine, a plough,
and a dog.

The dog died two years ago.

You killed it!

- Yes.

I want to see my cows.

There they are.

I want MINE, not yours!

Pick any you like.

I want my three!

Your farm is abandoned
since 10 years.

Your cows would be 22 years old.

A bit old for cows.

I want to see my plough.

It's lovely.

Pretty useless.

Send it to the Museum
as a modern sculpture!

A beautiful plough!

1909, 2 horsepower.

There are a few more things.

Want to see them?

I should think so!

Come on.

The chair is yours, and the picture.

A fridge and a washing-machine!

One might be in the city!

There's no one to do my washing.

I'll do it. Always dreamt
of washing in a brook.

There's no brook.

Television! Aren't you ashamed?

With 2 windows on a lovely view.

Can I see upstairs?

Don't be shy!

Your bed?

My father's... This is my room.

You read all this?

Living alone, you have time to read.

It's bad for your eyes.

My husband read law books.
Now he wears thick glasses.

A hard mattress, I like that too.

Really, don't read too much!

I don't feel like reading just now.

You feel like making love?

Are you unhappy?

I'm not unhappy; life is.

With modernisation,
you lose touch with nature.

Too much time; you're bored.

Not quite.

My husband is like you.

Can't see the difference
between a real or a plastic flower.

I see the difference.

- Not really.

It's a question of poetry
and tenderness.

Yanick knows that, and Napoleon.

Napoleon is called Gilles.

I'll make love,
but without enthusiasm.

I don't like your views.

I'll do it as a favour.

Don't be hurt!
I'm a woman! You want me!

It's natural to make love.

I don't like favours.

I'll undo your shirt.

How tall you are!

I always tickled my husband,
taking his shirt off.

Are you ticklish?
- Depends.

Funny making love
and being so polite.

I love your neck, your nose.

When the bull ejaculates,

the technician introduces the penis
into an artificial vagina.

One time gives enough sperm
to fertilise 500 cows.

This bull has 17,000 descendants.

How terrible!

Does the bull enjoy it?

I never asked myself.

Probably can't tell the difference
between a cow and a young bull.

Your cows will be impregnated
by a champion.

A little injection and... Oops!

I want the bull to come by himself.

My cows should do it like I do.

It's better than TV or cinema.

Watch the bull!

Get on top!

I was right not to trust him.

- Me too.

A laboratory bull - impotent!

That's just like you!

- It isn't.

If one left them overnight?

They only lent it for an hour.

What's its name?

Whose?
- The bull.

Get going, Sitting Bull!

Encourage him, come on.

Come on - Sitting Bull.

You're a flop!

Do I inseminate or not?

You are cheating, Moise!

I'm not cheating, I'm thinking.

Don't let me catch you again!

Thanks Auguste; that's kind.

Your eyes really are beautiful.

We could do some work.

Repair the roof... repair the fence...

We don't want money.
His Dad is rich.

Want some lunch?

I'll fix something.

- Good, eh?

- Very good!

- Good God!

You could have been careful.

Didn't do it on purpose.

I reversed, as usual.

It should be tied up.

It's a pig, not a dog.

You're Mrs. Brown?

I am bringing your things.

And a letter from Mr. Brown.

''Good bye'', that's all?

He didn't ask after us?

He gave me your address.

He must be angry.

It's better this way, right?

Yes, much better.
Shall I bring the things in?

Take it back to Montreal.

Tell George...

I can't take it back.
Who's going to pay me?

You haven't been paid?

To come here. Not to go back!
- Same thing!

It isn't. Different price.

Let's unload!

No, you don't!
Don't touch my things!

Leave it alone!

It's beautiful!

A modern chair,
just like in a skyscraper.

All this is yours?

I don't want it - I'll give it away.

You must keep it, Bernadette!

I'm giving it to the locals.
They need it more than I do.

I keep this.

Put it in the truck!

Someone moving?

Old bastard!

He's nuts!

I can really take the lamp and chair?

Yes, it's yours.

You are sure?

Take them.

Look what I found.

Can I have the stereo?
- Yes, take it.

You won't send a bill?
Really? No bill?

- No bill.

Come on you, help me with the chair.

I don't trust this.

Come on; help yourselves!

Just a minute! Leave everything!

Do the police know about this?
Do you have the right to do this?

What's it got to do with the police?

You're a coward, Felicien!

A bloody coward!

I just don't want anyone in jail.

Who says these things are hers?

If Bernadette says they are, they
are!

Go west, cowboy!

Why don't you leave?

No one is forcing you to take things.

That's right. Go home!

Do you belong to the Salvation Army?

This isn't normal.

A stranger, giving presents away...

I'm no stranger. I live here.

- But how?

What do you mean?

With depraved old men;
good for nothings.

And the son of a whore.
In the city you'd be in prison.

Go home, everybody.

Just repeat that!

Now, apologise to Bernadette!

Quiet, St. Luc!

What's wrong?

What's the matter with you?

Why won't you take my gifts?

Why the complications?

I don't mean any harm!

You walked, didn't you?

Fantastic! You can walk!

And now,
Napoleon, you're going to talk!

You can do it!

You're going to talk!

You're going to say: ''Bernadette.''

You can do it! Say it!

Say: ''Bernadette!''

He did it, Rock; it's fantastic!

It's marvelous, you talked!

Go on home now! Bernadette is tired.

It's tiring to make miracles!
- Go on!

There was really water in the well?

Yes, miracle water! Now, go home!

You can contest out methods,

but you can't do anything illegal!
Got it?

So, you're offering me protection!

Farmers need protection.

And no Union?

Unions are for labour, not peasants.

It's based on strike rights.
What good is that to you?

You've always accepted our help
and you've prospered!

We used to be a poor region.
Now we're underprivileged.

Here's a contract.

Sign it and it'll be OK.

Sell body and soul?
Suppose I don't sign?

You've no choice.

Send it by mail, Monday.

Madelaine has been killed.
They found the body on the highway.

We're both in mourning.

- Go away!

Madelaine's son is talking.

Yes, he's talking.

I don't believe it.

He can speak?

He talks and walks.

Come on, walk for me!

He has had a long day.

They think it's a miracle.

Maybe I am
another Sainte Bernadette!

I made two miracles.

There's water in the well.

It will need to be analysed!

You're suspicious, like the rest.

Yes, you are.

You're getting smashed;
give me the bottle.

Give it to me!

No business of yours!

If he wants to drink, let him!

Gilles' mother died yesterday.

The police found her body
on the highway.

She threw herself in front of a car!
I knew it.

She has no family.

The Court will place the child.

They'll find a foster home.

Don't get too attached!

He is mine!

You live in a sort of commune.

You live outside the usual morals.

They won't let you keep him.

I love him.

Love has never counted
for the Government.

I'll run away with him.

You can't run forever!

You knew his mother.

Was she your mistress?

She was raped by her father at 13.

At 15 she had many ''friends''
in the village.

Everyone took advantage.

I did too; perhaps a bit more.

Are you Napoleon's father?

Don't know.

I'll never know.

If we got married, we could keep him.

You ARE married.

You were our beloved daughter.

Your sins are forgiven.

We ask your forgiveness.

We're all responsible for your death.

You found what you were searching.

Peace for eternity.

Pray for us.

Madelaine kept all your things.

We'll give them away.

You were a lovely couple.

Ever told her that?

- What?

That you loved her.

I was ashamed.

She didn't want to hear it.

She threw things at me,
she called me names...

- And she?

That's all she said.

Tell her now that you love her!

I am Madelaine.

Say you love me! Say it!

We'll make love. I'm Madelaine.

You want me very much.

Tell me you love me.

I love you, Bernadette.

No, I'm Madelaine.

I am dark,
and I love it when you hurt me.

''A new Sainte Bernadette!''

''A child cured by miracle.''

It's in the papers, on radio
and television, everywhere.

Listen: ''Science can't
explain the cure.

A specialist says medically
it is impossible.''

- Well?

We could benefit from the publicity.

We'll be in the news.

If we don't, we're idiots.

What a chance!
- You believe in miracles?

Why not grab the chance?
You know her, Sainte Bernadette.

Ask her to speak for us.

She's a saint, she won't refuse.

Bernadette Brown came here
for personal reasons.

She is no saint and she makes
no miracles for anyone.

It's the publicity we want.

For once we have a chance.

Is that a serious proposition?

It's insane. What's it got to do
with Sainte Bernadette?

We're here to find a course of action
against the Government.

Decisions are always taken
at the top...

Never by us.

Who signed a decent contract lately?

I am announcing
the presence of a spy!

In the bathroom.

Don't call me a spy!

What are you doing here?
You're working for the Government.

Since 4 months.

I was a farmer for 15 years,
just like you.

You spy better because you know us!

I am with you. I want to help.

So you say.
- Why should we believe that?

You mismanaged your land.

Don't make us laugh.

Get out!

I have news for you.
I'll open your mail.

You'll end up in jail.

No miracle will get you out.

Either we accept the system
or we do what I propose.

Violence is dangerous.

It's not really violence.

How do we form the Union?

It'll be illegal.

We'll get hit over the head.

We already are.

Listen to Thomas.

We want to question you
about the death of Madelaine Cantin.

Why now? Why not yesterday?

I have my orders.

And him?
- Same orders.

Will they be all night?

Go and talk to them!

To say what?

That the holy virgin appeared to bring
universal peace.

That's too much! A spy... me!

I've had it!

A spy, me!

Go get something to drink.

Get a glass.

I'll get bloody drunk!

I'll never forgive them.

Not so fast! Have you gone crazy?

There are spies in Russia, in Japan,
in the States; but in Quebec?

Bring a wet cloth!

God, he got drunk fast!

I'm not drunk!

The police isn't coming;
I'm not going to jail.

What about the police?

Who goes to jail?

You've had enough. You'll be sick.

What a stupid thing to do!

- Belt...!

- Laces!

Please check.

Sign here.

What is it?

That you haven't been molested.

I am free?

No yet; some questions to ask!

I'll sign later when I leave.

Want something to eat?

Not tonight; I'm tired.

I want you to cure my leg.

You can do it.

I believe in you.

You can do it if you love me.

I forbid you to even think it!

You cured Napoleon. Why not me?

I didn't cure him.

I saw you pray for him.

He walks now; he talks.

It was only a coincidence.

I saw you!

There must be a logical explanation.

There are no miracles -
even if love can do a lot.

- You refuse?

I don't refuse.

I am not Bernadette Soubirous.
I am Bernadette Brown.

You love Thomas, but not me.

Goes just great, eh?

Goes like a shot!

Have you gone mad?

- Get up.

You may leave.

And the interrogation?

I was told to let you go.

Bring your coat and come.

Please sign this.

Only a receipt of your effects.

You are free.

No murder charge?

No charge for the moment.

For the moment?

No interrogation either.

- $418.

Nothing hidden anywhere?

Your pension cheques?

Thomas kept them.

Now you, cripple!

I don't have anything.

No insurance on your leg?

I was only three then.

You are very kind.

We need $5,000 by tonight.

Don't force us to collect
from the pilgrims.

You and your game!

The kids too!

You're not in danger, they are!

May we come in?

We are from Social Welfare.

Miss Cantin entrusted you her son
before she died.

The blond one?

That's my son. The other one.

How are you Gilles?

You know you are not
the legal guardian.

The legal guardian is the Government,
it's the Welfare Agency.

We are not picking him up now.

A social worker will come on Monday.

We wanted to make sure
you wouldn't oppose.

These cases are usually dramatic.

He really walks and talks?

We'll strike ''handicapped''
from the records.

Is Bernadette in?

I want to talk to her.

- Impossible.

- Why?

She has had enough of you!

I want to speak to her.

She's upstairs, with Rock.

Tell her she can join us.
Women are allowed.

I can see you want to live!

Go join your friends!

- The bastard!

I'll kill him!

Let him go!

Get out! I'll kill the swine!

They don't work, just exploit people.

Nice way to pay us back!

Let's wait for the pilgrims!

Father: is there a new Bernadette
Soubirous in Quebec?

Bernadette Soubirous, No!
A new saint, perhaps!

But the Church must make sure...

Was it a miracle?

I guess it is hard to determine
if there has been a miracle.

Often a child refuses to walk
and speak,

to please the mother.

To please the mother?
My listeners won't understand.

The mother appears unhappy,
a victim.

The child refuses to walk,
to help the mother become a victim.

If the mother dies or leaves,

the child has no reason
not to walk anymore.

So there is a miracle,
and yet there isn't one!

But, there might be a miracle!

As theologian,
I can't eliminate the possibility.

We want to see Bernadette.
We want to see the child.

Help carry him upstairs!

- I can't.

Can't leave him here!

I can't touch a corpse.

Coward! You won't live long.

Go get drunk! I'll move him.
I'm still alive.

Where's Bernadette?

I need some details for my paper.

Is she really a naturalist?

Does she breakfast in the nude?

She talks to cows? And the pigs?

You were there during the miracle?

You witnessed it?

I won't desert you!

Are you mad?

I am going back to Thomas.

What shall I do with them?
I am a postman, not a nurse!

Have you gone crazy?
What the hell is going on?

GET STUFFED!
