I m ashamed that an officer
express himself in this way.
294
00:
30:41,200 -- 00:30:43,700
He lives among us,
accepts the privileges...
295
00:
30:43,700 -- 00:30:46,500
of uniform and rank,
laughs and swears like us...
296
00:
30:46,500 -- 00:30:51,000
and then it turns out,
he s not one of us.
297
00:
30:51,000 -- 00:30:54,300
Instead of talking to us,
he spies on us secretly...
298
00:
30:54,300 -- 00:30:58,400
and denounces us
under a false name.
299
00:
30:58,400 -- 00:31:01,400
Schorm must face
the consequences...
300
00:
31:01,400 -- 00:31:05,000
and leave those
he s betrayed.
301
00:
31:05,000 -- 00:31:09,000
Taking notes, Schorm?
l could dictate for you.
302
00:
31:10,100 -- 00:31:12,200
Gentlemen,
in my own name...
303
00:
31:12,200 -- 00:31:15,600
and that of the
officers regiment...
304
00:
31:15,600 -- 00:31:20,000
l suggest that Lt. Schorm,
at his own request...
305
00:
31:20,000 -- 00:31:23,700
should leave the
regiment and the army.
306
00:
31:23,700 -- 00:31:26,500
Schorm, l...
307
00:
31:26,500 -- 00:31:29,700
Go voluntarily. You can
state the reasons yourself.
308
00:
31:34,500 -- 00:31:35,900
Yes.
309
00:
31:39,100 -- 00:31:44,500
Gentlemen, is this a big
moment or a small one?
310
00:
31:44,500 -- 00:31:46,500
l can t tell.
311
00:
31:46,500 -- 00:31:50,400
- This is not a cabaret!
- You re right, doctor.
312
00:
31:50,400 -- 00:31:52,400
Brief and soldierly.
313
00:
31:57,400 -- 00:32:00,600
What s going on? Has our
Bohemian gone crazy?
314
00:
32:02,800 -- 00:32:05,100
Schorm, if you expect
a certificate...
315
00:
32:05,100 -- 00:32:07,300
saying that you ve
gone insane...
316
00:
32:07,300 -- 00:32:11,400
which l personally agree,
you re mistaken. No!
317
00:
32:11,400 -- 00:32:15,200
Lieutenant,
name your seconds.
318
00:
32:17,800 -- 00:32:22,700
l consider the desecration
of His Majesty uniform...
319
00:
32:22,700 -- 00:32:24,500
a personal insult.
320
00:
32:24,500 -- 00:32:26,900
l therefore challenge you
to a duel!
321
00:
32:28,100 -- 00:32:31,600
Shooting?
You re near-sighted.
322
00:
32:31,600 -- 00:32:33,600
Want to fence?
323
00:
32:33,600 -- 00:32:38,100
But don t confuse fencing
with an appendectomy.
324
00:
32:38,100 -- 00:32:41,500
Don t take this personally,
but everybody knows that...
325
00:
32:41,500 -- 00:32:44,700
doctors who join the army
aren t the best ones.
326
00:
32:44,700 -- 00:32:49,300
Summa cum laude, you jerk.
Who will be my seconds?
327
00:
32:49,300 -- 00:32:51,100
I m not fighting you.
328
00:
32:51,100 -- 00:32:53,500
I m the third-best shooter
in the regiment.
329
00:
32:53,500 -- 00:32:56,700
Allow me to send
for my civilian clothes.
330
00:
32:56,700 -- 00:32:58,700
The duel takes place
at dawn.
331
00:
32:58,700 -- 00:33:01,500
I ll choose my seconds
among you.
332
00:
33:01,500 -- 00:33:05,500
Sonnenschein,
l said there won t be a duel.
333
00:
33:05,500 -- 00:33:07,900
l will take off my uniform.
334
00:
33:07,900 -- 00:33:12,300
But l can t duel
with a Jewish doctor.
335
00:
33:12,300 -- 00:33:15,100
You re not from whom one
may expect satisfaction.
336
00:
33:15,100 -- 00:33:17,700
And me, Schorm?
337
00:
33:21,700 -- 00:33:24,300
Do l meet your
high requirements?
338
00:
33:24,300 -- 00:33:28,800
Baron Kubinyi...
yes, you do.
339
00:
33:28,800 -- 00:33:31,200
But gentlemen,
this is really...
340
00:
33:31,200 -- 00:33:33,600
Done!
Tomorrow at dawn.
341
00:
33:33,600 -- 00:33:36,200
With a bullet, since you re
such a fine shooter.
342
00:
33:36,200 -- 00:33:38,600
3 steps, 3 exchanges.
Redl, you re my second.
343
00:
33:38,600 -- 00:33:41,400
Excuse me.
l hate early rising.
344
00:
33:41,400 -- 00:33:43,700
I d prefer noon
or afternoon.
345
00:
33:43,700 -- 00:33:46,400
But honour come first.
346
00:
33:46,400 -- 00:33:48,900
Pistols at dawn, then.
347
00:
34:28,100 -- 00:34:32,500
- Those articles, Schorm...
- I m sorry.
348
00:
34:33,400 -- 00:34:36,100
You were such
an excellent soldier.
349
00:
34:42,900 -- 00:34:45,300
The duel is nonsense.
350
00:
34:46,300 -- 00:34:49,400
- Let it go.
- l didn t force it.
351
00:
34:50,800 -- 00:34:54,600
- Then I ll lock you up.
- It s too late, Captain.
352
00:
34:54,600 -- 00:34:59,300
I m duelling as a civilian
with Kubinyi.
353
00:
34:59,300 -- 00:35:03,100
Lock him up, if you fear
for his life.
354
00:
35:03,900 -- 00:35:06,100
The army is not
dismissing you.
355
00:
35:06,100 -- 00:35:08,100
You are leaving the army.
356
00:
35:08,100 -- 00:35:11,400
- In two or three years...
- Two or three years?
357
00:
35:11,400 -- 00:35:13,700
Where will
this army be then?
358
00:
35:13,700 -- 00:35:19,400
It will be at its post
and so will l.
359
00:
35:22,800 -- 00:35:27,200
Do you know what l hate
most about this army?
360
00:
35:27,200 -- 00:35:29,400
Getting up so damned early.
361
00:
35:46,000 -- 00:35:50,400
- Who s there? Who is it?
- Redl.
362
00:
35:51,400 -- 00:35:53,400
It s you, Schorm.
363
00:
35:53,400 -- 00:35:57,200
l thought it was you.
Sorry.
364
00:
36:02,300 -- 00:36:04,800
- You re here early.
- Yes.
365
00:
36:05,600 -- 00:36:07,800
l couldn t sleep.
366
00:
36:07,800 -- 00:36:10,000
- Could you?
- l never sleep well.
367
00:
36:10,000 -- 00:36:12,400
Kubinyi probably
sleep like a dog.
368
00:
36:12,400 -- 00:36:15,300
Don t underestimate him.
Cigarette?
369
00:
36:15,300 -- 00:36:16,600
No, thanks.
370
00:
36:16,600 -- 00:36:19,100
He overestimates himself.
371
00:
36:19,100 -- 00:36:22,700
- You are full of energy.
- And you?
372
00:
36:23,600 -- 00:36:25,900
l don t belong with you.
373
00:
36:29,400 -- 00:36:31,300
What do you mean?
374
00:
36:31,300 -- 00:36:33,200
l want to remain
Jaromil Schorm.
375
00:
36:34,100 -- 00:36:35,800
l don t understand.
376
00:
36:39,400 -- 00:36:42,400
l can t take leading
a double life...
377
00:
36:42,400 -- 00:36:45,000
everyone playing
their part perfectly.
378
00:
36:45,000 -- 00:36:48,700
Sickening. All of it.
379
00:
36:49,500 -- 00:36:51,500
l still don t understand.
380
00:
36:53,200 -- 00:36:55,200
Tell me, Schorm...
381
00:
36:56,700 -- 00:36:59,300
are you really
a anti-Semite?
382
00:
36:59,300 -- 00:37:04,300
My grandmother is Jewish.
l hope that s sufficient.
383
00:
37:05,100 -- 00:37:08,700
l shouldn t have
insulted him.
384
00:
37:08,700 -- 00:37:11,800
l just enjoyed keeping
that Jew at a distance.
385
00:
37:11,700 -- 00:37:15,300
- Very possible.
- Not really my style.
386
00:
37:16,800 -- 00:37:20,500
- You play with people.
- No, you do.
387
00:
37:21,400 -- 00:37:22,900
Me?
388
00:
37:24,700 -- 00:37:26,300
Why me?
389
00:
37:27,500 -- 00:37:29,600
You re demanding
too much of yourself.
390
00:
37:31,100 -- 00:37:36,500
- What else can l do?
- Well, you might be right.

István Szabó

István Szabó (Hungarian: [ˈsɒboː ˈiʃtvaːn]; born February 18, 1938) is a Hungarian film director, screenwriter, and opera director. Szabó is the most internationally famous Hungarian filmmaker since the late 1960s. Working in the tradition of European auteurism, he has made films that represent many of the political and psychological conflicts of Central Europe’s recent history, as well as of his own personal history. He made his first short film in 1959 as a student at the Hungarian Academy of Theatrical and Cinematic Arts, and his first feature film in 1964. He achieved his greatest international success with Mephisto (1981), which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Since then, most of Szabó's films have been international co-productions filmed in a variety of languages and European locations. He has continued to make some films in Hungarian, however, and even in his international co-productions, he often films in Hungary and uses Hungarian talent. Szabó became involved in a national controversy in 2006 when the Hungarian newspaper Life and Literature revealed that he had been an informant of the Communist regime’s secret police. more…
