Marwencol Page #5

Synopsis: "Marwencol" is a documentary about the fantasy world of Mark Hogancamp. After being beaten into a brain-damaging coma by five men outside a bar, Mark builds a 1/6th scale World War II-era town in his backyard. Mark populates the town he dubs "Marwencol" with dolls representing his friends and family and creates life-like photographs detailing the town's many relationships and dramas. Playing in the town and photographing the action helps Mark to recover his hand-eye coordination and deal with the psychic wounds of the attack. When Mark and his photographs are discovered, a prestigious New York gallery sets up an art show. Suddenly Mark's homemade therapy is deemed "art", forcing him to choose between the safety of his fantasy life in Marwencol and the real world that he's avoided since the attack.

AND ALL THAT STUFF.

BUT I DID MEET ANNA.

ANNA AND I KISSED.

AND WHILE WE WERE CONNECTED

ON OUR KISS,

WE REMEMBERED ALL THE LOVE

WE ONCE HAD FOR EACH OTHER,

SO DEJA THORUS' SPELL

WAS BROKEN.

THIS IS DEJA THORUS'

TIME MACHINE.

AND I'M PROUD OF IT.

IT WAS AN OLD VCR

THAT ATE ONE OF:

MY BEST PORNO TAPES.

SO I HAD TO EXTRACT

THE TAPE SOMEHOW.

SO I TOOK AN MP3 PLAYER STAND

AND MADE THAT THE SEAT.

AND FOUND AN OLD

CELL PHONE KEYPAD

ON THE ROADWAY:

WHEN I WAS WALKING.

SO I GLUED THAT ON THIS THING

THAT I PUT THERE.

AND BEFORE I KNEW IT,

THERE IT WAS,

THE TIME MACHINE.

TOD SHOWED MY STUFF

IN THE CITY.

AND HE TELLS ME:

THAT THERE'S A CURATOR

OF AN ART GALLERY

THAT WANTS TO DISPLAY

MY PHOTOS.

I DID FEEL A VERY STRONG

RESPONSIBILITY:

AND A CONCERN ABOUT,

YOU KNOW,

WILL THE SHOW BE TOO MUCH?

WHAT IF THIS LEADS TO,

YOU KNOW, ATTENTION

AND IT'S BAD FOR HIM

IN SOME WAY?

WILL THE PHOTOGRAPHS LOOK OK?

WILL THE SPACE BE OK?

WILL HE LIKE THE SPACE?

WILL HE BE COMFORTABLE HERE?

WILL HE MAKE TO THE CITY?

HE HASN'T BEEN HERE

FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.

HE HASN'T BEEN

OUT OF KINGSTON:

FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.

I'M HAPPY ABOUT

THE WHOLE THING:

EXCEPT THE TALK OF ME

TAKING SOMETHING

SO SENTIMENTAL TO ME

AND HAVING IT ON DISPLAY

100 MILES AWAY.

IT'S A VERY BIG DECISION

FOR ME TO MAKE.

WOMEN WANT TO MEET

THE ARTIST.

THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR

THAT THE ARTIST:

COULDN'T MAKE IT.

THEY WANT TO MEET

THE ARTIST.

AND, OF COURSE, IF SOME

BIG SPENDY GUY COMES IN

AND HE'S LOOKING

FOR SOMETHING,

HE HAS TONS OF MONEY,

MAD MONEY,

AND HE WANTS TO MEET

THE ARTIST,

HE DOESN'T WANT TO HEAR,

OH, THE ARTIST COULDN'T MAKE IT,

HE'S TOO AFRAID

TO COME TO THE CITY.

YEAH. SO, I'M STILL AFRAID

TO GO TO THE CITY,

BUT THAT'S WHERE

COURAGE COMES IN.

COURAGE. I WAS TAUGHT

THAT COURAGE IS:

TO FACE THE THING,

TO DO THE THING,

EVEN THOUGH I HAVE

SUCH GREAT FEAR OF DOING IT.

ANNA COMES BACK TO TOWN

AND SHE'S ALL PISSY

'CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO GO.

'CAUSE I HAVE

MENTAL PROBLEMS.

I'M STILL DISTURBED

BY THE SS TYING ME UP.

AND TO GET A CLOSE-UP

OF HER LOOKING AT ME

AND THEN SCOOTING ON OVER,

AND NOW WE'RE KISSING.

SO THAT'S THE WHOLE

OUTCOME OF THAT.

IT GETS STRANGER

BY THE MOMENT, DOESN'T IT?

218 PAIR...

OF WOMEN'S ESSENCE.

I MEAN, THEY WORE THESE.

THEY SCUFFED THEM UP,

I CAN TELL IF THEY WERE

A SMOKER OR NOT.

I SHOULD BE A SHOE

DETECTIVE OR SOMETHING.

YEP. SOME OF THESE...

OH, NONE OF ESE

ARE ONES I'VE STOLE.

THEY WERE ALL GIVEN

TO ME BY WOMEN.

THEY WERE.

I'M NOT KIDDING.

LIKE COLLEEN GAVE ME

A BAG FULL OF SHOES.

COLLEEN.

THE FIRST NIGHT:

WE WENT HOME TO:

HIS APARTMENT:

WHEN HE GOT OUT:

OF THE HOSPITAL,

HE SEES THIS WHOLE

SHELF OF HIGH HEELS.

AND HE SAYS TO ME,

"DO I HAVE

A GIRLFRIEND:

THAT LIVES HERE?"

AND I SAID, "NO."

AND HE SAYS,

"WELL, WHAT'S WITH

ALL THE SHOES?

AND I SAID,

"WELL, MARK, THOSE

ARE YOUR SHOES.

"YOU BUY THEM,

YOU COLLECT THEM.

I THINK:

YOU WEAR THEM."

IF I TELL PEOPLE WHO I AM

AND WHAT I'M ABOUT,

I'M TRUE TO MYSELF.

THAT MEANS I'M NOT

LYING TO MYSELF.

WHAT THEY DO WITH THAT

IS ON THEM.

I'M NOT ACCOUNTABLE

FOR THEIR FEELINGS

OR HOW THEY PERCEIVE IT,

MAKE FACES AND STUFF.

THAT'S WHEN I CLOSE IN

AND DISCOVER WHO I AM.

AND THAT'S ALL PART OF

THE FINDING OUT WHO I AM

PART OF THIS NEW LIFE,

SECOND LIFE I WAS GIVEN.

THIS IS A B.A.R.

IT'S A BROWNING

AUTOMATIC RIFLE.

IT'S .30 CALIBER.

IT HAS A MEAN PUNCH.

SHE'S GOT 2 .45s.

I'VE GOT 2 SIX SHOOTERS

AND ONE .45 SHOULDER HOLSTER.

WHEN I WALK THE 2 MILES

TO THE STORE...

WHEN I FEEL APPREHENSIVE

AND I LOOK DOWN AT THE JEEP

AND I KNOW THAT THEY'LL

PROTECT ME.

IT'S DOLLS.

THERE'S A LOT

OF FIREPOWER IN THERE.

AND I MAKE SURE I PUT

THE CORRECT WEAPONS

WITH THE MOST FIREPOWER

IN THERE BEFORE I TAKE MY WALKS.

IT'S JUST IN CASE.

PEOPLE DON'T KNOW

I'M DISABLED.

THEY DON'T KNOW THAT

I DON'T THINK CORRECTLY.

THEY DON'T KNOW THAT

I HAVE PSYCHOLOGICAL

PROBLEMS:

LIKE I'M ALWAYS ON GUARD,

ALWAYS LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER,

ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT

BEING ATTACKED AGAIN.

THEY JUST SEE ME

ON THE OUTSIDE.

OUTSIDE, YEAH, I'M TRYING

TO ACT LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN

SO I DON'T

GET ATTACKED AGAIN

BY THE STRONGER ONES.

I FIGURED I'D GO OUT AND SEE

WHAT WAS GOING ON IN TOWN.

WHILE I'M FOCUSED IN

ON WHAT'S GOING ON

IN MY TOWN,

THIS SS [BLEEP]

SNUCK UP BEHIND ME.

AND I DON'T HEAR HIM.

BRINGS ME BACK TO TOWN

WHERE ALL:

OF HIS BUDDIES ARE,

AND FIVE OF THEM FIGURED

THEY'D HAVE A LITTLE FUN

WITH ME.

AND THEN IT ALL:

COMES BACK AGAIN--

THE ATTACK,

THOSE 5 SCUMBAGS, HOW BAD

I WANT TO KILL THEM.

I HOPE MARK IS NOT

ALWAYS HAUNTED:

BY THIS EXPERIENCE,

BUT UNFORTUNATELY,

THIS KIND OF THING

DOESN'T LEAVE YOU

JUST BECAUSE:

THE CASE IS OVER.

I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL

START RIPPING THEM APART.

I DON'T KNOW IF

I'M GONNA WANT TO KILL THEM.

AND I DON'T KNOW

IF IT'S GONNA TAKE LIKE

8 POLICE OFFICERS

TO SHOOT ME.

THERE'S NO FAIR FIGHTING

PERSON THAT'S BEEN JUMPED

ON FROM BEHIND:

AND EVERY MEMORY

KICKED OUT OF HIS HEAD.

THERE'S NO ETIQUETTE

TO FIGHTING AFTER THAT.

SORRY, I GET A LITTLE

ANGRY AND STUFF:

THINKING ABOUT IT.

AFTER THEY GET DONE

KICKING AND PUNCHING ME,

THEY DRAG ME IN THE CHURCH.

FIGURED THEY'D HAVE

FURTHER FUN.

THERE'S THAT [BLEEP].

HAPPY WHAT HE DID.

HE'S LIKE, "GOOD.

KILL THAT HOGANCAMP."

SO DEJA THORUS SENSED

THAT I WAS IN DANGER.

SO SHE HOPPED IN

HER TIME MACHINE

AND USED IT JUST

TO TRANSPORT HERSELF

AS FAST AS A PLASMA JET

OF A BLAZAR,

WHICH TRAVELS AT 99.9%

THE SPEED OF LIGHT.

LIKE I IMAGED THAT

IT HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE.

[WHISPERING]

There she is.

MY SAVIOR.

AND THEN, IN LIKE A BELGIAN

ACCENT GIRL VOICE,

"OH, MY LOVE.

WHY WOULD ANYBODY DO

SUCH A THING TO YOU?"

SINCE I CAN'T REMEMBER

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BAR,

WHAT LED THEM TO BEAT ME UP,

I WAS TOLD THAT I TOLD THEM

THAT I WAS A CROSSDRESSER.

SO THAT'S WHAT

I HAVE BEEN TOLD HAPPENED.

SO I THINK THEY...

I BELIEVE THEY ATTACKED ME

BECAUSE I MENTIONED

THAT I WAS A CROSSDRESSER.

Man:
WE WERE IN THE BAR.

THE GUY SAID:

HE WAS A CROSSDRESSER

AND EVERYTHING.

AND I STARTED FIGURING

OUT HE WAS GONNA GET IT.

I THINK FREDDY WANTED

TO BEAT HIS ASS.

HE WAS SAYING,

"I HAVE NO PROBLEMS

WITH ANYBODY.

I HAVE NO PROBLEMS

WITH ANYBODY."

THAT GUY DIDN'T

DO NOTHING TO ANYBODY.

I COULD TELL HE WAS

BEING SET-UP.

[INDISTINCT]

MAN.

WHEN IN DOUBT,

BRING THEM ALL.

GOT TO BRING:

THIS [BLEEP].

I DON'T KNOW IF

I'LL USE ALL THESE,

BUT I BRING THEM

ANYWAY,

JUST IN CASE.

I'M REALLY, REALLY

ATTEMPTING TO HAVE

A POSITIVE LOOK--

OUTLOOK ON EVERYTHING.

BUT IT'S THAT SUBCONSCIOUS

FEAR THAT I STILL HAVE,

YOU KNOW, ABOUT BEING

HURT AGAIN.

THAT'S THE BIGGEST FEAR.

I DON'T WANT TO GET HURT

MENTALLY OR EMOTIONALLY

OR PHYSICALLY EVER AGAIN.

SO THAT'S WHY THANK GOD

THERE'S THAT OTHER VOICE

IN MY HEAD:

THAT STILL DIDN'T GET BROKE

IN THAT ATTACK:

THAT TELLS THAT SIDE

THAT'S SO WORRIED,

"HEY, COME ON, DON'T THINK
