Caligula Page #10

Synopsis: The rise and fall of the notorious Roman Emperor Caligula, showing the violent methods that he employs to gain the throne, and the subsequent insanity of his reign - he gives his horse political office and humiliates and executes anyone who even slightly displeases him. He also sleeps with his sister, organises elaborate orgies and embarks on a fruitless invasion of Britain before meeting an appropriate end. There are various versions of the film, ranging from the heavily truncated 90-minute version to the legendary 160-minute hardcore version which leaves nothing to the imagination (though the hardcore scenes were inserted later and do not involve the main cast members).

952
02:
14:59,400 -- 02:15:01,177
Yes, Caesar.
953
02:
15:01,277 -- 02:15:03,277
Perfect.
954
02:
15:14,000 -- 02:15:16,500
We sail for Britain.
955
02:
16:08,982 -- 02:16:10,982
He will not go again.
956
02:
17:38,600 -- 02:17:42,084
We're only a few
has marched from Rome.
957
02:
17:43,100 -- 02:17:45,420
And what new madness is this?
958
02:
17:49,000 -- 02:17:52,440
Mars tells me we will
enjoy a great victory.
959
02:
17:57,844 -- 02:18:00,109
Ah, Chaerea.
-Caesar?
960
02:
18:02,073 -- 02:18:04,606
Are we prepared for the invasion?
961
02:
18:04,706 -- 02:18:06,706
Yes, Caesar...
962
02:
18:07,525 -- 02:18:09,071
...only...
963
02:
18:09,171 -- 02:18:11,171
Only what?
964
02:
18:12,100 -- 02:18:15,079
Where is Britain?
-Where?
965
02:
18:16,566 -- 02:18:18,566
There.
966
02:
18:18,900 -- 02:18:21,044
Ah, yes, lord, there...
967
02:
18:21,484 -- 02:18:25,008
...but... eh...
there is no enemy.
968
02:
18:26,400 -- 02:18:28,660
There is papyrus cane.
969
02:
18:29,417 -- 02:18:32,857
Papyrus cane, Divine Caesar?
-Yes, papyrus.
970
02:
18:32,943 -- 02:18:35,183
Don't be so stupid, Chaerea.
971
02:
18:35,500 -- 02:18:39,340
Order my army to attack
and destroy that papyrus.
972
02:
18:39,800 -- 02:18:41,800
Yes, lord.
973
02:
18:45,700 -- 02:18:50,820
After all, we must have some proof
that I have conquered Britain.
974
02:
19:06,789 -- 02:19:08,789
War.
975
02:
20:04,000 -- 02:20:06,000
Kill.
976
02:
20:27,600 -- 02:20:31,122
While all of you were
living safely here in Rome...
977
02:
20:31,222 -- 02:20:33,871
...your beloved emperor
was risking his life...
978
02:
20:33,971 -- 02:20:37,093
...to preserve and
enlarge the Empire.
979
02:
20:43,800 -- 02:20:45,739
I've heard rumors that the Senate...
980
02:
20:45,839 -- 02:20:48,219
doesn't believe that I
ever went to Britain.
981
02:
20:48,319 -- 02:20:50,501
No. No, lord.
982
02:
20:50,697 -- 02:20:54,506
But I did conquer Britain,
and I have a hundred...
983
02:
20:54,606 -- 02:20:57,406
thousand papyrus
canes to prove it.
984
02:
21:00,100 -- 02:21:03,675
Hail, Caligula Caesar.
-Hail, Caesar.
985
02:
21:03,775 -- 02:21:08,714
Hail, Caligula the Conquerer.
-Hail. Hail. Hail.
986
02:
21:09,700 -- 02:21:13,620
Better be careful,
he's in a strange mood tonight.
987
02:
21:24,867 -- 02:21:26,867
Caligula.
988
02:
21:27,200 -- 02:21:28,585
They hate you now.
989
02:
21:28,685 -- 02:21:32,045
Let them hate me. So
long as they fear me.
990
02:
21:32,082 -- 02:21:35,994
They are senators and consuls.
They are important men.
991
02:
21:36,094 -- 02:21:38,667
So important that
they prove all I do?
992
02:
21:38,767 -- 02:21:40,300
They must be mad.
993
02:
21:40,400 -- 02:21:42,120
I don't know what else to do
to revolt them.
994
02:
21:42,220 -- 02:21:43,948
Great victory.
995
02:
21:44,048 -- 02:21:46,048
In Britain.
996
02:
21:47,951 -- 02:21:49,951
And now...
997
02:
21:50,112 -- 02:21:54,718
...the booties captured
during this great campaign.
998
02:
21:57,084 -- 02:21:59,084
Fish.
999
02:
22:00,034 -- 02:22:03,306
Mullet, blenny and salmon.
1000
02:
22:04,700 -- 02:22:06,700
Oysters...
1001
02:
22:07,279 -- 02:22:10,835
...and beautiful pink pearls.
1002
02:
22:11,300 -- 02:22:16,626
From the blue seas
and silver rivers of Britain.
1003
02:
22:19,300 -- 02:22:26,798
Gained from the green forests
and golden holms of Britain...
1004
02:
22:27,600 -- 02:22:31,814
...swell pheasants,
lovesome geese.
1005
02:
22:59,100 -- 02:23:01,100
Cowards.
1006
02:
23:06,100 -- 02:23:09,431
Crawl. Crawl. Crawl.
1007
02:
23:09,984 -- 02:23:12,716
I hate them.
1008
02:
23:19,500 -- 02:23:21,540
Almighty Caesar says...
1009
02:
23:22,202 -- 02:23:24,340
...to balance the state budget...
1010
02:
23:24,440 -- 02:23:27,775
...we shall confiscate
the entire estates...
1011
02:
23:27,875 -- 02:23:30,595
of all those who have failed Rome.
1012
02:
23:34,300 -- 02:23:36,930
Read out your list, Longinus.
1013
02:
23:38,900 -- 02:23:45,058
Senators Galva,
Aponius, Marcellus,
1014
02:
23:45,158 -- 02:23:48,655
Antonius, Cassius...
1015
02:
23:48,856 -- 02:23:50,358
Chaerea.
1016
02:
23:50,458 -- 02:23:53,339
They have failed me.
Arrest them.
1017
02:
23:53,567 -- 02:23:55,567
...Lepidus...
1018
02:
23:56,564 -- 02:23:59,618
...Sextus and Octavius.
1019
02:
23:59,718 -- 02:24:01,718
Guards. Arrest them.
1020
02:
24:18,500 -- 02:24:20,500
Almighty Caesar says...
1021
02:
24:20,729 -- 02:24:22,729
...finish your dinner.
1022
02:
24:25,200 -- 02:24:27,200
Eat.
1023
02:
24:34,200 -- 02:24:36,200
He must be done soon.
1024
02:
24:41,200 -- 02:24:44,332
Watch Chaerea.
-Why?
1025
02:
24:44,600 -- 02:24:46,600
The omens are not good.
1026
02:
24:46,941 -- 02:24:48,941
Be on your guard.
1027
02:
24:50,620 -- 02:24:53,234
I think he intends to kill me.
1028
02:
24:58,200 -- 02:25:00,200
What is amusing, Caesar?
1029
02:
25:01,214 -- 02:25:02,600
Just a thought.
1030
02:
25:02,700 -- 02:25:05,092
May I ask what thought?
1031
02:
25:09,284 -- 02:25:12,267
Is it true that there is a conspiracy
against me, Longinus?
1032
02:
25:12,367 -- 02:25:15,567
Eh... well, lord... that is... I mean...
1033
02:
25:16,086 -- 02:25:18,646
It seems there is a secret plot.
1034
02:
25:18,700 -- 02:25:20,359
A plot is always a secret,
if it's not a secret,
1035
02:
25:20,459 -- 02:25:21,157
not a plot or a plan.
1036
02:
25:21,257 -- 02:25:23,400
That is logical, is it not, Claudius?
1037
02:
25:23,500 -- 02:25:25,568
Even a half-wit can know that
and you are a half-wit.
1038
02:
25:25,668 -- 02:25:27,668
Half of me is, Caesar.
1039
02:
25:30,800 -- 02:25:32,725
The situation's gone too far.
1040
02:
25:32,825 -- 02:25:34,651
He's muffed the guards,
overruled the...
1041
02:
25:34,751 -- 02:25:37,000
government and insulted
the best friends of Rome.
1042
02:
25:37,100 -- 02:25:39,610
Yes, the Senate counts for
nothing anymore.
1043
02:
25:39,710 -- 02:25:41,149
No one is safe from him.
1044
02:
25:41,249 -- 02:25:44,402
He's a tyrant.
-Then what can we do?
1045
02:
25:44,502 -- 02:25:46,606
There's only one solution.
1046
02:
25:48,000 -- 02:25:51,600
If Caligula ought to die...
-It could happen.
1047
02:
26:54,000 -- 02:26:56,000
You need to sleep.
1048
02:
26:56,500 -- 02:27:00,260
I think I shall resign myself
to living forever.
1049
02:
27:01,333 -- 02:27:03,333
I hope you do.
1050
02:
27:21,249 -- 02:27:23,249
I am going bald.
1051
02:
27:26,667 -- 02:27:28,667
No, you're not.
1052
02:
27:28,752 -- 02:27:31,700
You've never been able
to face the facts, have you?
1053
02:
27:31,800 -- 02:27:37,070
The facts? Yes, my lord.
Can you?
1054
02:
27:45,399 -- 02:27:48,635
I need some sleep.
1055
02:
27:51,879 -- 02:27:53,879
I need you.
1056
02:
28:21,700 -- 02:28:23,805
Psst. Are you ready?
1057

28:24,290 -- 02:28:27,330
Will you speak your

Gore Vidal

Eugene Luther Gore Vidal (; born Eugene Louis Vidal; October 3, 1925 – July 31, 2012) was an American writer and public intellectual known for his patrician manner, epigrammatic wit, and polished style of writing.Vidal was born to a political family; his maternal grandfather, Thomas Pryor Gore, served as United States senator from Oklahoma (1907–1921 and 1931–1937). He was a Democratic Party politician who twice sought elected office; first to the United States House of Representatives (New York, 1960), then to the U.S. Senate (California, 1982).As a political commentator and essayist, Vidal's principal subject was the history of the United States and its society, especially how the militaristic foreign policy reduced the country to a decadent empire. His political and cultural essays were published in The Nation, the New Statesman, the New York Review of Books, and Esquire magazines. As a public intellectual, Gore Vidal's topical debates on sex, politics, and religion with other intellectuals and writers occasionally turned into quarrels with the likes of William F. Buckley Jr. and Norman Mailer. Vidal thought all men and women are potentially bisexual, so he rejected the adjectives "homosexual" and "heterosexual" when used as nouns, as inherently false terms used to classify and control people in society.As a novelist Vidal explored the nature of corruption in public and private life. His polished and erudite style of narration readily evoked the time and place of his stories, and perceptively delineated the psychology of his characters. His third novel, The City and the Pillar (1948), offended the literary, political, and moral sensibilities of conservative book reviewers, with a dispassionately presented male homosexual relationship. In the historical novel genre, Vidal re-created in Julian (1964) the imperial world of Julian the Apostate (r. AD 361–63), the Roman emperor who used general religious toleration to re-establish pagan polytheism to counter the political subversion of Christian monotheism. In the genre of social satire, Myra Breckinridge (1968) explores the mutability of gender role and sexual orientation as being social constructs established by social mores. In Burr (1973) and Lincoln (1984), the protagonist is presented as "A Man of the People" and as "A Man" in a narrative exploration of how the public and private facets of personality affect the national politics of the U.S. more…
