Caligula Page #8

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).

Yes, lord... oh... no,

lord... and don't...

739

01:
38:30,604 -- 01:38:34,444

Let's see if Proculus

can liven things up for us.

740

01:
38:43,309 -- 01:38:45,309

Proculus.

741

01:
38:57,200 -- 01:39:00,228

Do you know that his wife is

expecting her first child?

742

01:
39:00,328 -- 01:39:02,854

We're not quite sure

who the father is.

743

01:
39:02,954 -- 01:39:06,064

Him or... God.

744

01:
39:08,900 -- 01:39:12,657

Divine Caesar, please.

What have I done?

745

01:
39:12,757 -- 01:39:14,757

Why am I here?

746

01:
39:14,800 -- 01:39:18,569

Treason.

-I've always been loyal to you.

747

01:
39:18,980 -- 01:39:21,200

That is your treason.

748

01:
39:21,615 -- 01:39:25,309

You're an honest man, Proculus,

which means of bad Roman.

749

01:
39:25,409 -- 01:39:27,569

Therefore you're a traitor.

750

01:
39:27,772 -- 01:39:29,772

Logical, hmm?

751

01:
39:42,400 -- 01:39:45,156

Now you must die like Gemellus.

752

01:
39:46,200 -- 01:39:49,000

Like all moles failed Rome.

753

01:
40:07,700 -- 01:40:11,587

Now slowly, very slowly.

754

01:
40:12,800 -- 01:40:17,922

I want him to feel death.

I want him to smell death.

755

01:
40:29,963 -- 01:40:33,003

Now. What does it

feel like, Proculus?

756

01:
40:33,655 -- 01:40:36,255

Can you see the

great goddess Isis?

757

01:
40:36,355 -- 01:40:38,355

What does she say?

758

01:
40:43,800 -- 01:40:45,800

Reptile.

759

01:
40:46,177 -- 01:40:48,341

Make a note of this.

760

01:
41:05,800 -- 01:41:08,572

I said slowly, you fool.

761

01:
41:27,600 -- 01:41:32,200

Lucky boy.

To off escaped me so easily.

762

01:
41:50,800 -- 01:41:54,054

Longinus. Reptile.

763

01:
41:54,596 -- 01:41:56,679

Cut off those and

send them to Livia...

764

01:
41:56,779 -- 01:42:00,500

...as a souvenir of their great love.

765

01:
42:18,600 -- 01:42:21,381

Caesar says, 'Cut them off.'

766

01:
42:49,100 -- 01:42:51,963

And now send the rest to Livia.

767

01:
43:22,700 -- 01:43:24,700

Curtain.

768

01:
43:42,500 -- 01:43:43,685

Child's head...

769

01:
43:43,785 -- 01:43:45,785

...has just appeared.

770

01:
43:51,900 -- 01:43:54,342

Is he alive?

-Yes, Caesar.

771

01:
43:59,000 -- 01:44:03,134

My lords.

I'm now to be married to Caesonia.

772

01:
44:03,700 -- 01:44:07,891

The mother of my son,

Caligula Germanicus.

773

01:
44:16,265 -- 01:44:18,804

Caligula. Caesonia.

774

01:
44:18,904 -- 01:44:21,224

Ring, ring. Give me the ring.

775

01:
44:38,100 -- 01:44:43,784

You are now wife, mother

and emperess of Rome.

776

01:
44:45,700 -- 01:44:47,700

It's a girl.

777

01:
44:50,025 -- 01:44:52,025

It's a girl.

778

01:
44:52,100 -- 01:44:55,754

It is not a girl.

Did you not hear Caesar say?

779

01:
44:55,854 -- 01:45:00,174

I heard the voice of Caesar,

but your daughter did not.

780

01:
45:09,400 -- 01:45:14,440

I should've waited, shouldn't I?

-There will be other children.

781

01:
45:23,628 -- 01:45:25,809

Longinus.

-Caesar?

782

01:
45:27,400 -- 01:45:31,880

One month of free games

and a gold coin to every Roman...

783

01:
45:32,200 -- 01:45:35,792

...to celebrate the birth of my son.

784

01:
45:38,000 -- 01:45:43,194

My son... Julia Drusilla.

785

01:
45:43,294 -- 01:45:46,156

Julia Drusilla.

786

01:
45:46,256 -- 01:45:48,256

Drusilla?

787

01:
45:54,352 -- 01:45:56,352

Drusilla.

788

01:
45:56,700 -- 01:45:58,700

The fever.

-Drusilla.

789

01:
46:00,041 -- 01:46:02,041

The fever.

790

01:
46:31,875 -- 01:46:33,875

Drusilla.

791

01:
46:36,600 -- 01:46:38,108

I'm here...

792

01:
46:38,208 -- 01:46:40,288

...it's your Little Boots.

793

01:
46:43,529 -- 01:46:45,529

It's your Little Boots.

794

01:
46:52,700 -- 01:46:54,209

Do something.

795

01:
46:54,309 -- 01:46:57,509

I am doing everything I...

I can, Caesar.

796

01:
46:57,800 -- 01:47:01,300

I swear.

But the fever must take its course.

797

01:
47:20,388 -- 01:47:23,367

Great Isis. Save her.

798

01:
47:24,459 -- 01:47:26,459

Take me.

799

01:
47:27,400 -- 01:47:31,215

Caesar begs you,

o mighty goddess.

800

01:
47:36,330 -- 01:47:38,330

Caesar.

801

01:
48:11,691 -- 01:48:13,691

Drusilla?

802

01:
49:26,743 -- 01:49:30,977

Get out. Get out.

Go on. Get out. Get out.

803

01:
49:31,251 -- 01:49:36,056

Get out. Go on.

Out. Out. Out.

804

01:
49:48,216 -- 01:49:50,216

Drusilla.

805

01:
49:56,900 -- 01:49:59,119

Almighty mother...

806

01:
50:03,269 -- 01:50:05,269

You...

807

01:
50:14,800 -- 01:50:16,800

I begged you...

808

01:
50:18,970 -- 01:50:21,707

Caesar begs you...

809

01:
54:07,500 -- 01:54:10,941

We, Caius Caesar

Caligula, do decree...

810

01:
54:11,041 -- 01:54:13,498

one month puclic mourning...

811

01:
54:13,598 -- 01:54:16,483

...for our beloved sister, Drusilla.

812

01:
54:17,100 -- 01:54:19,528

During which time

813

01:
54:19,628 -- 01:54:22,606

baths, dines with his

parents or children...

814

01:
54:22,706 -- 01:54:26,546

...or has intercourse

will be sentenced to death.

815

01:
54:26,600 -- 01:54:30,840

Such as the will of the Senate

and the people of Rome.

816

01:
54:47,853 -- 01:54:49,853

Hello.

817

01:
55:14,325 -- 01:55:16,325

Come on, darling.

818

01:
55:31,237 -- 01:55:33,948

Caligula has finished.

819

01:
55:35,000 -- 01:55:40,502

Nestor restores the imperial heirs.

820

01:
55:43,900 -- 01:55:47,203

The slaves of Rome.

821

01:
55:58,800 -- 01:56:00,800

The people.

822

01:
56:09,500 -- 01:56:13,099

The army.

823

01:
56:17,600 -- 01:56:21,956

The tribune of the people.

824

01:
56:32,400 -- 01:56:34,964

The Senate.

825

01:
57:00,200 -- 01:57:06,007

And great and supreme...

the Emperor.

826

01:
57:14,631 -- 01:57:16,631

Hail.

827

01:
57:16,700 -- 01:57:25,634

And I am...

the lady Drusilla, his sister.

828

01:
57:25,734 -- 01:57:34,871

Let's make love once again,

brother Nestor.

829

01:
57:35,546 -- 01:57:38,046

No. No.

830

01:
57:38,419 -- 01:57:40,419

Stop.

831

01:
57:40,516 -- 01:57:42,516

Stop.

832

01:
57:44,001 -- 01:57:46,049

No. Stop.

833

01:
58:37,900 -- 01:58:39,900

Another drunk.

834

01:
59:20,100 -- 01:59:22,340

Do you have any news of him?

835

01:
59:31,600 -- 01:59:36,591

According to one report,

he's gone to Egypt.

836

01:
59:38,300 -- 01:59:41,100

And according to

the other reports?

837

01:
59:41,663 -- 01:59:43,500

Well...

838

01:
59:43,600 -- 01:59:45,393

...to Greece...

839

01:
59:45,493 -- 01:59:47,493

...another, Persia...

840

01:
59:48,800 -- 01:59:52,761

...to Carthage

and another again, to Gal.

841

01:
59:54,700 -- 01:59:57,537

And where do you think he is?

842

01:
59:59,000 -- 02:00:01,900

He could be anywhere.

-No.

843

02:
00:02,300 -- 02:00:04,300

He's here in Rome.

844

02:
00:05,176 -- 02:00:07,176

He's testing us.

845

02:
03:06,300 -- 02:03:08,300

Get off.

846

02:
03:11,500 -- 02:03:13,834

I have existed from the

morning of the world,

847

02:
03:13,934 -- 02:03:17,009

and I shall exist until the

last star falls from the night.

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…
