Caligula Page #7

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).

628

01:
26:21,543 -- 01:26:23,543

Arrest Gemellus...

629

01:
26:23,959 -- 01:26:25,611

...for treason.

630

01:
26:25,711 -- 01:26:27,762

Guards. Take him away.

631

01:
26:33,749 -- 01:26:35,749

No.

632

01:
26:35,956 -- 01:26:37,956

No.

633

01:
26:39,651 -- 01:26:41,651

No.

634

01:
26:44,621 -- 01:26:46,621

No, please.

635

01:
26:51,100 -- 01:26:55,260

As if there ever could be

an antidote against Caesar.

636

01:
27:03,868 -- 01:27:05,868

Drusilla.

637

01:
27:05,965 -- 01:27:08,033

Why are you so

concerned for him?

638

01:
27:08,133 -- 01:27:09,751

I'm not concerned for him.

639

01:
27:09,851 -- 01:27:12,431

But for you.

-He knows about Tiberius.

640

01:
27:12,531 -- 01:27:16,900

He's a threat to me.

-He's not. He's not even your heir.

641

01:
27:17,000 -- 01:27:20,000

Caesonia now carries your child.

642

01:
27:23,100 -- 01:27:27,295

Gemellus will die.

-You amateur.

643

01:
27:27,800 -- 01:27:29,800

Amateur?

644

01:
28:23,900 -- 01:28:26,600

And they weren't even poisoned.

645

01:
28:40,271 -- 01:28:42,271

Caesar.

646

01:
28:50,000 -- 01:28:52,000

Well done.

647

01:
28:53,100 -- 01:28:57,100

What will you do to her?

What she said was treason.

648

01:
28:57,900 -- 01:29:00,620

I decide what is treason, not you.

649

01:
29:02,500 -- 01:29:04,500

Dance.

650

01:
29:05,600 -- 01:29:07,800

Dance?

-Yes.

651

01:
29:08,600 -- 01:29:10,600

And what about your son?

652

01:
29:10,729 -- 01:29:14,107

Show Incitartus your new dance.

653

01:
29:14,520 -- 01:29:16,520

My son...

654

01:
29:17,075 -- 01:29:19,155

...he will dance with you.

655

01:
29:19,900 -- 01:29:21,900

Music.

656

01:
31:20,400 -- 01:31:23,508

You are... beautiful...

657

01:
31:25,582 -- 01:31:27,582

...Drusil...

658

01:
31:27,906 -- 01:31:29,906

...beautiful.

659

01:
31:30,400 -- 01:31:32,400

We are all alone...

660

01:
31:33,101 -- 01:31:35,101

...Drusil.

661

01:
32:12,600 -- 01:32:14,760

He's going to kill me.

-No.

662

01:
32:14,842 -- 01:32:16,842

He can't kill me.

663

01:
32:19,100 -- 01:32:22,515

The fever must be at soothe.

-He's going to kill me.

664

01:
32:22,615 -- 01:32:25,628

What if it doesn't?

-He's going to kill me.

665

01:
32:25,728 -- 01:32:27,728

He's going to kill me.

666

01:
32:29,234 -- 01:32:30,815

Drusilla.

667

01:
32:30,915 -- 01:32:32,615

Drusilla.

668

01:
32:32,715 -- 01:32:34,715

He's going to kill me.

669

01:
32:35,238 -- 01:32:36,782

He's going to kill...

670

01:
32:36,882 -- 01:32:38,882

...me.

671

01:
32:42,111 -- 01:32:43,832

Drusilla.

672

01:
32:43,932 -- 01:32:45,932

Tell you...

673

01:
32:45,966 -- 01:32:47,966

...I love you.

674

01:
33:00,878 -- 01:33:03,598

Where is my sister?

-She's coming.

675

01:
33:18,500 -- 01:33:20,500

I'm here, Little Boots.

676

01:
33:24,250 -- 01:33:26,250

Drusilla...

677

01:
33:26,922 -- 01:33:30,220

...I'm dying.

-You are not.

678

01:
33:31,600 -- 01:33:33,445

I must...

679

01:
33:33,545 -- 01:33:35,329

...make my will.

680

01:
33:35,429 -- 01:33:37,912

Don't talk. Sleep.

681

01:
33:38,300 -- 01:33:41,652

Longinus.

I want Longinus.

682

01:
33:46,500 -- 01:33:48,905

Take my horse to his own bed.

683

01:
33:52,200 -- 01:33:53,200

He's a monster.

684

01:
33:53,300 -- 01:33:56,324

Even so, it's better that

he doesn't die this time.

685

01:
33:56,424 -- 01:33:58,490

I don't see, why?

-The people love him.

686

01:
33:58,590 -- 01:34:02,200

There could be more revolutions,

civil chaos, if he dies.

687

01:
34:02,300 -- 01:34:05,580

It looks as if he's claimed

to die anyway.

688

01:
34:08,165 -- 01:34:10,165

Longinus?

689

01:
34:23,700 -- 01:34:26,100

You call for me, Caesar?

690

01:
34:30,200 -- 01:34:32,200

My will.

691

01:
34:38,500 -- 01:34:41,600

Here with to my beloved Drusilla...

692

01:
34:44,599 -- 01:34:46,672

...the Roman Empire...

693

01:
34:48,900 -- 01:34:52,300

...title of Augusta...

694

01:
35:00,704 -- 01:35:03,060

...my little boots.

695

01:
35:09,348 -- 01:35:11,348

Little boo...

696

01:
35:16,200 -- 01:35:18,200

He's sleepy.

697

01:
35:20,100 -- 01:35:22,100

No, he's not.

698

01:
35:45,153 -- 01:35:47,153

Drusilla.

699

01:
35:47,900 -- 01:35:50,426

Why do I get angry with you?

700

01:
35:51,303 -- 01:35:53,303

Why do we always argue?

701

01:
35:53,757 -- 01:35:55,757

You can't help it.

702

01:
35:56,315 -- 01:35:58,006

We'll never quarrel again.

703

01:
35:58,106 -- 01:36:00,106

Oh, yes, we will.

704

01:
36:04,356 -- 01:36:06,356

Don't let me die.

705

01:
36:18,400 -- 01:36:23,004

My lady. You must not touch him.

The fever is contagious.

706

01:
36:24,400 -- 01:36:28,643

Sleep. You're safe now.

Drusilla's here.

707

01:
36:29,100 -- 01:36:31,430

I offer my life,

708

01:
36:31,530 -- 01:36:38,473

if Jupiter will only

spare our beloved Emperor.

709

01:
36:43,500 -- 01:36:46,397

Jupiter accepts your offer.

-Hmm?

710

01:
36:46,869 -- 01:36:48,869

Execute him.

711

01:
36:57,700 -- 01:36:59,700

The fever is breaking.

712

01:
37:00,685 -- 01:37:04,845

Do you hear that, Little Boots?

You're going to live.

713

01:
37:09,400 -- 01:37:11,945

Drusilla tells me that

I've been neglecting...

714

01:
37:12,045 -- 01:37:13,800

my work. So I recalled for duty.

715

01:
37:13,900 -- 01:37:17,180

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…
