Marwencol
WELCOME TO:
"INDEPENDENT LENS."
I'M AMERICA FERRERA.
TO HEAL HIMSELF,
HE CREATED:
A FANTASY WORLD.
THIS IS ME.
AFTER THE ATTACK,
OF COURSE.
THIS IS INDEPENDENT
FILMMAKER JEFF MALMBERG.
HE CAME ACROSS:
IN A MAGAZINE.
EXCEPT IT WASN'T
WORLD WAR II,
INCLUDING BARBIES
AND GI JOES:
BUILT BY A MAN:
WHO HAD SURVIVED
A BRUTAL BEATING.
NOW HE'S TRYING
TO RECLAIM:
HIS DAMAGED MIND
THIS UNIQUE VISION
"MARWENCOL." NEXT.
THE CORPORATION:
FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING,
THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT
FOR THE ARTS,
AND BY CONTRIBUTIONS
DREAM:
WHEN YOU'RE FEELING BLUE
DREAM:
THINGS NEVER ARE
SO DREAM:
DREAM, DREAM
ABOUT CLOSING TIME.
HARASSING HIM,
FOLLOWED HIM,
STOMPED ON HIM,
REBUILD HIS FACE.
FROM THE ASSAULT
HAVING TO LEARN:
I MEAN, SEEING
YOUR 38-YEAR-OLD SON
AND SEEING IT,
IT'S HEART BREAKING.
IN THE HOSPITAL.
BECAUSE HE COULDN'T PAY FOR IT
FOR 2 YEARS
OF THE HOSPITAL.
I MEAN, HE REALLY
EVERYTHING OVER.
IT WAS--ALL THESE
PHYSICAL THERAPIES
HE WENT THROUGH:
AND TALKING:
AND WORD SEARCH:
TO GET, YOU KNOW,
WHEN THEY JUST, LIKE,
CUT IF OFF.
"THAT'S IT.
FROM WORK:
AND HE'S BUILDING
THIS LITTLE MINIATURE
BUILDING,
JUST MADE FROM:
OLD PLYWOOD:
AND NASTY STUFF:
BUT IT'S DEVELOPED
INTO A WORLD,
HIS OWN WORLD.
THIS IS ME.
AFTER THE ATTACK,
OF COURSE.
ALWAYS SMOKING.
ONE REVOLVER.
BECAUSE THE GENERAL
HAVE A DRINK.
[INDISTINCT]
WHAT'S THIS
ALL ABOUT, MAN?
[CAR PASSES BY]
[INSECTS CHIRPING]
WHEN THE TEENAGERS
THEY WIPED, I MEAN,
EVERYTHING.
JUST A SINGLE SHOT,
BUT NO CONTEXT.
I WAS MARRIED, WOW.
TO A GOOD-LOOKING GIRL, TOO.
ANASTASIA.
BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW
WHO I WAS.
WHAT WAS I LIKE?
WAS I BAD GUY?
WAS I MEAN? WAS I?
"NO, YOU WEREN'T MEAN.
YOU KNOW, YOU WERE
"DID I HURT ANYONE?"
YOURSELF."
THEN I STARTED FINDING
MY DRUNK JOURNALS
BECAUSE I WANTED
FOR REAL.
THAT WOULD KNOW:
FRAME OF MIND,
BECAUSE I WAS HAMMERED.
AND, OH, JANUARY 19, 1993.
"LAST ENTRY."
SOMETHING:
OR SOMETHING.
IT WAS BAD.
THIS GUY AGAIN.
I FIGURED, ALL RIGHT,
THAT'S MY IMAGINATION.
IN MY P-40 WARHAWK.
ON FIRE.
AND I SAW A FIELD
DOWN BELOW.
AND WHEN I WALKED
INTO TOWN,
BEAUTIFUL BARBIE-LOOKING WOMEN
STARTED EMERGING.
WITH 27 BARBIES.
WENT THROUGH THERE
AND KILLED MEN.
I WAS THINKING, "BOY, WHAT
5 DAYS A WEEK.
YOU KNOW, 10 HOURS A DAY.
ONCE A WEEK,
AND IT'S 4 OR 5 HOURS
A WEEK,
DOING THINGS AGAIN.
MARK'S JOB IS--HE KIND
HIM, REALLY.
BECAUSE IT'S
IF HE'S AROUND
DIDN'T LAST LONG.
HE DRANK. SOMETIMES HE
CAME TO WORK,
FOR THE DAY:
AND SAY, I'M NOT COMING.
OF THE HOSPITAL,
TURNED A SWITCH.
AT ALL.
AFTER THE ATTACK,
WHEN I STARTED COMING
AROUND BACK HERE,
AND I DON'T GET
THAT SAME FEELING.
NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN
IT'S LIKE LIQUOR, BOOZE,
THAT'S IT.
I MEAN, IF I DON'T
REMEMBER WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE DRUNK:
THEN I DON'T MISS IT.
[RAGTIME MUSIC PLAYING]
I JUST FIGURED:
YOU KNOW, FROM "CHEERS."
YOU KNOW, HE'S
A RECOVERING ALCOHOLIC
DRINK ONLY COFFEE
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
Man:
DOES ANYBODYYEAH. YEAH.
AND WHAT HAPPENS?
I DON'T DRINK.
THE ONLY ENTERTAINMENT
WAS CATFIGHTING.
TO CATFIGHT.
STAGED CATFIGHTS
FOR ENTERTAINMENT
PURPOSES ONLY.
BESIDES HOGANCAMP'S,
HOGANCAMP'S
RUINED STOCKING.
CATFIGHT CLUB.
THIS PLACE. JUST LOOKING
TO DRAW ANYTHING
BUT NOW, SINCE
THE ATTACK, I CAN'T
BECAUSE MY HAND:
SHAKES TOO MUCH.
STILL HAS:
THE EVIDENCE STICKER.
WHAT THIS INDIVIDUAL
BRAIN DAMAGE:
YOU CAN'T SEE
THE MANIFESTATIONS
MOM, I'M HOME.
I NEED SUPPLIES.
Mark Wikane:
AFTER THE ATTACK,
HIS HAND WASN'T STEADY
TO CONTINUE,
SO WE ENCOURAGED HIM.
AND JANET, WHEN HE
OR SOMETHING:
TO WORK WITH.
