Caligula Page #4

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).

No, Macro. He's

planning something.

306

00:
36:10,041 -- 00:36:12,041

You'll be emperor, soon.

307

00:
36:25,189 -- 00:36:27,707

You swear.

-I sw...

308

00:
36:46,755 -- 00:36:48,755

I swear.

309

00:
37:32,978 -- 00:37:35,660

Leave.

Everyone leave.

310

00:
38:23,366 -- 00:38:25,366

Tiberius.

311

00:
38:31,858 -- 00:38:33,858

Tiberius.

312

00:
39:41,510 -- 00:39:43,707

Caligula?

313

00:
39:44,981 -- 00:39:46,981

Lord.

314

00:
39:47,400 -- 00:39:50,113

Give me my ring.

315

00:
39:58,614 -- 00:40:01,887

No.

-Yes.

316

00:
40:13,862 -- 00:40:17,988

You... do not dare.

317

00:
40:18,804 -- 00:40:19,825

Prince.

318

00:
40:19,925 -- 00:40:22,632

You do not dare.

319

00:
41:36,399 -- 00:41:38,399

Hail, Caesar.

320

00:
41:41,012 -- 00:41:42,400

Hail, Caesar.

321

00:
41:42,500 -- 00:41:45,410

I'd get everyone a

symbol and a hope.

322

00:
41:45,510 -- 00:41:47,510

For the announcement.

323

00:
42:37,305 -- 00:42:39,305

Gemellus?

324

00:
42:41,981 -- 00:42:43,981

Gemellus.

325

00:
42:50,646 -- 00:42:52,646

Hail, Caesar.

326

00:
42:56,013 -- 00:42:59,551

Gemellus. We are alone.

327

00:
43:07,923 -- 00:43:09,925

We must love each other.

328

00:
43:23,611 -- 00:43:27,807

Rest, Tiberius Caesar.

329

00:
43:31,033 -- 00:43:36,313

Hail, Caligula Caesar.

330

00:
43:41,455 -- 00:43:43,500

It's just like the dream.

331

00:
43:46,458 -- 00:43:49,900

It's only his mask.

You are Caesar now.

332

00:
43:51,643 -- 00:43:52,857

Caesar.

333

00:
43:52,957 -- 00:43:57,368

Caesar, Emperor of Rome,

lord of the world.

334

00:
43:58,814 -- 00:44:00,814

Lord of the world...

335

00:
44:02,357 -- 00:44:04,470

I liked this dream.

336

00:
44:25,715 -- 00:44:27,715

At the...

337

00:
44:35,367 -- 00:44:40,303

At the insistence of the Senate

and the people of Rome...

338

00:
44:41,586 -- 00:44:45,018

...I accept... humbly...

339

00:
44:46,473 -- 00:44:50,709

...the highest office

of our great republic.

340

00:
44:56,123 -- 00:44:58,461

Our great republic.

341

00:
45:16,948 -- 00:45:19,828

Where's the onion?

Give me the onion.

342

00:
45:46,301 -- 00:45:48,311

Now beloved Tiberius was dying...

343

00:
45:48,411 -- 00:45:52,306

To the Tiber with Tiberius.

-Yes. Yes.

344

00:
45:52,704 -- 00:45:56,689

Throw him to the river.

-Yes. Yes.

345

00:
45:57,236 -- 00:45:59,334

Tiberius. Throw him.

Throw him to the dark.

346

00:
45:59,434 -- 00:46:00,434

Yes. Yes.

347

00:
46:00,534 -- 00:46:04,587

Today we begin a new era.

348

00:
46:04,687 -- 00:46:07,466

I grant a general amnesty.

349

00:
46:07,566 -- 00:46:09,566

Hail.

-Hail. Hail. Hail.

350

00:
46:10,375 -- 00:46:14,171

Caesar. Caesar.

Caesar. Caesar. Caesar.

351

00:
46:14,271 -- 00:46:18,066

Caesar. Caesar.

Caesar. Caesar. Caesar.

352

00:
46:18,201 -- 00:46:19,636

Silence.

-Caesar. Caesar.

353

00:
46:19,736 -- 00:46:21,216

Caesar. Caesar. Caesar. Caesar.

354

00:
46:21,316 -- 00:46:22,400

Silence.

-Caesar. Caesar.

355

00:
46:22,500 -- 00:46:25,100

Great Caesar is not finished.

356

00:
46:31,900 -- 00:46:33,530

As my fellow counsel,

357

00:
46:33,630 -- 00:46:36,510

the Senate and the

people of Rome...

358

00:
46:36,556 -- 00:46:39,959

...have wisely chosen

my loved uncle Claudius.

359

00:
46:40,059 -- 00:46:42,059

Hail, Cladius.

360

00:
46:42,600 -- 00:46:45,480

Take your place

beside me, Claudius.

361

00:
46:49,400 -- 00:46:52,693

Ceasar Caligola...

-Take your place...

362

00:
46:52,793 -- 00:46:54,828

I mean Calisus...

363

00:
47:02,000 -- 00:47:05,120

I here with adopt as

my son and heir...

364

00:
47:05,579 -- 00:47:07,579

...the Prince Gemellus.

365

00:
47:07,874 -- 00:47:10,754

Come forth, Prince.

-Hail, Gemellus.

366

00:
47:24,100 -- 00:47:27,045

From this moment,

all official oaths...

367

00:
47:27,145 -- 00:47:30,025

will contain the following phrase:..

368

00:
47:30,235 -- 00:47:34,800

'I will value neither my life,

nor the lives of my children...'

369

00:
47:34,900 -- 00:47:37,813

'...any more highly

than I do the Emperor.'

370

00:
47:37,913 -- 00:47:41,601

Hail. Hail. Hail.

371

00:
47:41,836 -- 00:47:44,373

'And of his sister, Drusilla.'

372

00:
47:53,500 -- 00:47:58,194

Hail Drusilla.

-Hail Caligola.

373

00:
48:06,300 -- 00:48:08,380

We must be careful of him.

374

00:
48:12,600 -- 00:48:17,302

Oh, Claudius?

-No, Gemellus.

375

00:
48:19,800 -- 00:48:23,291

Oh, yes. Gemellus.

376

00:
48:28,500 -- 00:48:30,993

Did you see their

faces when I told 'em

377

00:
48:31,093 -- 00:48:33,000

I had to swear not only to me?

378

00:
48:33,100 -- 00:48:34,750

But to you?

379

00:
48:34,850 -- 00:48:36,850

They were appalled.

380

00:
48:38,600 -- 00:48:41,532

I do hope so.

-But is it wise?

381

00:
48:49,600 -- 00:48:51,600

I can do...

382

00:
49:00,809 -- 00:49:02,937

...anything I like...

383

00:
49:07,375 -- 00:49:12,536

...to anyone.

-Well, don't start with me.

384

00:
49:15,432 -- 00:49:17,432

Who do you suggest?

385

00:
50:18,320 -- 00:50:21,160

Get out. Out.

386

00:
50:23,400 -- 00:50:27,736

Who?

-Why not start with Macro?

387

00:
50:28,485 -- 00:50:30,485

Macro?

-Yes.

388

00:
50:30,904 -- 00:50:34,744

Before he controls you

as he controlled Tiberius.

389

00:
50:37,200 -- 00:50:39,920

Superb. It's bright, Macro.

Superb.

390

00:
50:47,720 -- 00:50:51,190

Fetch me Gemellus.

-What? Here?

391

00:
50:53,300 -- 00:50:55,340

Yes, here. Now.

392

00:
51:02,400 -- 00:51:04,400

Charicles.

-My Lord?

393

00:
51:04,401 -- 00:51:06,401

Stand here.

394

00:
51:11,000 -- 00:51:12,723

I want to bonus for my guards.

395

00:
51:12,823 -- 00:51:14,900

Oh, but Caesar,

that's not possible.

396

00:
51:15,000 -- 00:51:16,992

All things that happen

are possible, Longinus.

397

00:
51:17,092 -- 00:51:19,700

Make the impossible happen,

then it'd be possible. Logical?

398

00:
51:19,800 -- 00:51:22,616

How, Caesar? The

deficit, you see, is...

399

00:
51:22,716 -- 00:51:24,600

Look, how much is my purse?

400

00:
51:24,700 -- 00:51:28,240

Well, Lord, that is as

much as you may require.

401

00:
51:28,340 -- 00:51:29,500

Oh, good.

402

00:
51:29,600 -- 00:51:33,231

Ah, Macro.

Would you stand over there?

403

00:
51:37,908 -- 00:51:41,677

Longinus, you here.

-Yes, Caesar.

404

00:
51:42,903 -- 00:51:48,920

Gemellus. I want you to look at

these gentlemen very carefully.

405

00:
51:50,000 -- 00:51:53,000

Take your time and tell me...

406

00:
51:54,564 -- 00:51:57,787

...who killed our beloved Tiberius?

407

00:
52:04,806 -- 00:52:07,414

Who killed Tiberius?

408

00:
52:24,333 -- 00:52:27,955

He did. Macro.

409

00:
52:37,405 -- 00:52:39,405

Murderer.

410

00:
52:48,686 -- 00:52:50,686

Arrest him.

411

00:
53:06,947 -- 00:53:10,932

In honor of your new commander,

Chaerea...

412

00:
53:11,897 -- 00:53:14,318

...ten gold pieces to every man.

413

00:
53:14,418 -- 00:53:17,919

Hail. Hail. Hail.

414

00:
53:20,415 -- 00:53:24,896

Chaerea, arrest Macro.

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…
