Caligula Page #6

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).

01:
07:44,014 -- 01:07:47,454

Don't worry.

I've got her very well guarded.

521

01:
07:47,500 -- 01:07:51,660

Can you be sure one of the guards

will be the father?

522

01:
07:51,725 -- 01:07:55,485

They're all homosexuals

who have been castrated.

523

01:
08:34,490 -- 01:08:38,446

If only all Rome had just one neck.

524

01:
08:57,031 -- 01:09:00,791

Is that the officer

Livia's going to marry with?

525

01:
09:01,776 -- 01:09:03,776

Yes. Proculus.

526

01:
09:04,431 -- 01:09:06,431

Proculus.

527

01:
09:08,479 -- 01:09:10,066

Longinus...

-Caesar?

528

01:
09:10,166 -- 01:09:13,410

...you see this young officer

over here? Proculus?

529

01:
09:13,510 -- 01:09:15,510

Yeah?

530

01:
10:02,918 -- 01:10:06,657

Caligula Caesar,

Emperor of Rome.

531

01:
10:06,757 -- 01:10:09,514

Hail.

-Hail.

532

01:
10:11,700 -- 01:10:14,844

And the lady Drusilla

and the lady Caesonia.

533

01:
10:14,944 -- 01:10:18,088

And the lady Drusilla

and the lady Caesonia.

534

01:
10:18,188 -- 01:10:20,188

Hail.

-Hail.

535

01:
10:25,100 -- 01:10:26,963

Are we late?

-No, Caesar.

536

01:
10:27,063 -- 01:10:29,063

You forgive us.

537

01:
10:29,447 -- 01:10:32,870

Was the ceremony beautiful?

The augury is good?

538

01:
10:32,970 -- 01:10:36,501

Yes, Caesar.

-Splendid.

539

01:
10:48,082 -- 01:10:50,482

You are very gracious to come.

540

01:
10:56,116 -- 01:10:58,200

You are a Roman hero.

541

01:
10:58,814 -- 01:11:00,814

Caesar.

542

01:
11:11,439 -- 01:11:12,990

I shall now bestow...

543

01:
11:13,090 -- 01:11:16,319

the special blessings

of almighty Casear...

544

01:
11:16,419 -- 01:11:18,419

...upon this...

545

01:
11:19,249 -- 01:11:21,249

...happy union.

546

01:
11:25,201 -- 01:11:28,161

Which way is the

secret marriage bed?

547

01:
11:49,554 -- 01:11:52,951

Ah. The kitchen.

Oh, this will have to do.

548

01:
11:56,730 -- 01:11:57,932

See you later.

549

01:
11:58,032 -- 01:11:59,774

Little Boots.

550

01:
11:59,874 -- 01:12:02,594

I thought you didn't like virgins.

551

01:
12:02,682 -- 01:12:04,682

I've never known any.

552

01:
12:08,262 -- 01:12:10,342

That is correct, Caesonia?

553

01:
12:15,374 -- 01:12:18,094

And now for Caesar's wedding gift.

554

01:
12:27,539 -- 01:12:29,872

What a delicious bride.

555

01:
12:33,949 -- 01:12:35,949

Take off that robe.

556

01:
12:45,362 -- 01:12:47,362

Splendid.

557

01:
13:01,975 -- 01:13:06,204

Is she really a virgin, Proculus?

-Yes, Caesar.

558

01:
13:07,756 -- 01:13:09,996

One can never be quite sure.

559

01:
13:12,560 -- 01:13:15,578

Open your eyes, Livia.

560

01:
13:34,454 -- 01:13:38,892

Lucky girl. To lose once virginity...

561

01:
13:39,288 -- 01:13:42,808

...to a direct descent

of the goddess Venus.

562

01:
13:43,208 -- 01:13:45,208

I...

563

01:
13:45,317 -- 01:13:47,375

...Caligula Caesar...

564

01:
13:47,876 -- 01:13:49,876

...command...

565

01:
13:50,209 -- 01:13:52,510

Open your eyes, Proculus.

566

01:
13:53,368 -- 01:13:56,108

...command in the

name of the Senate...

567

01:
13:56,208 -- 01:13:58,208

open 'em.

568

01:
14:00,351 -- 01:14:07,039

...the Senate and

the people of Rome.

569

01:
14:33,170 -- 01:14:35,170

She really was a virgin.

570

01:
14:37,994 -- 01:14:39,994

Are you?

571

01:
14:45,298 -- 01:14:47,298

Well? Are you?

572

01:
14:48,613 -- 01:14:50,613

No, Caesar.

-No?

573

01:
14:51,082 -- 01:14:53,144

Well, Isis won't like that. One law...

574

01:
14:53,244 -- 01:14:55,362

for woman, one for

man. That's no fair.

575

01:
14:55,462 -- 01:14:57,862

Come on.

Off with your clothes.

576

01:
15:09,138 -- 01:15:11,138

Splendid.

577

01:
15:13,455 -- 01:15:16,679

I like your nice

bushy hair, Proculus.

578

01:
15:17,658 -- 01:15:21,714

Caesar. I beg you.

-So sit up.

579

01:
15:32,743 -- 01:15:35,063

I think you were lying to me.

580

01:
15:36,454 -- 01:15:38,543

You're a virgin, too.

581

01:
15:56,983 -- 01:15:58,629

I...

582

01:
15:58,729 -- 01:16:00,729

...Caligula Caesar...

583

01:
16:01,039 -- 01:16:04,354

...command...

in the name of the Senate...

584

01:
16:05,179 -- 01:16:07,179

Open your eyes, Livia.

585

01:
16:07,744 -- 01:16:10,825

...and the people of Rome...

586

01:
16:23,536 -- 01:16:28,016

You see how I exhausted myself

to make your wedding holy.

587

01:
16:36,577 -- 01:16:38,577

My blessings to you both.

588

01:
17:13,186 -- 01:17:15,186

Gemellus.

589

01:
17:26,091 -- 01:17:28,091

Caligula.

590

01:
17:28,762 -- 01:17:30,762

Caligula.

591

01:
17:36,360 -- 01:17:38,423

Gemellus.

592

01:
18:05,681 -- 01:18:08,304

Jupiter loves me.

593

01:
18:13,238 -- 01:18:15,238

Drusilla.

594

01:
18:24,500 -- 01:18:27,940

He's trying to kill me.

-Who, Little Boots?

595

01:
18:28,000 -- 01:18:32,850

Gemellus. I saw him. He ran away.

Wants me dead.

596

01:
18:43,572 -- 01:18:46,831

Now... now, Little Boots.

597

01:
18:50,962 -- 01:18:52,962

Now you'll be alright.

598

01:
18:58,921 -- 01:19:00,921

Now...

599

01:
24:01,539 -- 01:24:03,230

Hail, Caesar.

600

01:
24:03,330 -- 01:24:04,750

Hail.

-Hail, Caesar.

601

01:
24:04,850 -- 01:24:08,466

All hail Ceasar's

beautiful horse, Incitartus.

602

01:
24:09,173 -- 01:24:11,626

Hail the most honorable Incitartus.

603

01:
24:11,726 -- 01:24:13,878

Hail, Incitartus.

604

01:
24:16,591 -- 01:24:20,003

There's Gemellus over there.

Watch him.

605

01:
24:36,502 -- 01:24:39,142

Chop chop, dear uncle, chop chop.

606

01:
24:39,999 -- 01:24:42,079

I want your honest advise.

607

01:
24:43,032 -- 01:24:45,672

Shall I make myself king of Rome?

608

01:
24:45,673 -- 01:24:50,301

King?

Well, but this is republic, isn't it?

609

01:
24:51,082 -- 01:24:53,082

Very well, then.

610

01:
24:54,430 -- 01:24:56,701

I shall make myself

king of the republic.

611

01:
24:56,801 -- 01:25:00,641

But you're already greater

than any king, Caesar.

612

01:
25:00,774 -- 01:25:02,774

I am a god.

613

01:
25:03,180 -- 01:25:06,060

Or at least I will be when I'm dead.

614

01:
25:20,052 -- 01:25:23,652

Gemellus, try one of these morels.

Gemellus.

615

01:
25:31,521 -- 01:25:34,400

What's that smell?

-What smell, Caesar?

616

01:
25:34,500 -- 01:25:36,080

What have you been taking?

617

01:
25:36,180 -- 01:25:38,952

Just a medicine. A bit

to drop off the fever.

618

01:
25:39,052 -- 01:25:41,026

Did you give him

medicine for the fever?

619

01:
25:41,126 -- 01:25:41,430

Well...

620

01:
25:41,530 -- 01:25:44,281

Yes or no?

-No, I don't.

621

01:
25:45,499 -- 01:25:50,130

Gemellus. Are you accusing your

sovereign for being a poisoner?

622

01:
25:50,230 -- 01:25:52,384

But I never accused you, Caesar.

623

01:
25:52,484 -- 01:25:55,672

You took an antidote

before coming to my table.

624

01:
25:55,772 -- 01:25:59,184

Which is tend to mount

for accusing me poisoning you.

625

01:
25:59,284 -- 01:26:01,364

That is awkward, isn't it?

626

01:
26:01,749 -- 01:26:03,749

Caligula.

627

01:
26:18,247 -- 01:26:20,247

Chaerea.

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…
