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.

Leave.
Everyone leave.

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.

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…
