Medea Page #3

Synopsis: To win the kingdom his uncle took from his father, Jason must steal the golden fleece from the land of barbarians, where Medea is royalty and a powerful sorceress, where human sacrifice helps crops to grow. Medea sees Jason and swoons, then enlists her brother's aid to take the fleece. She then murders her brother and becomes Jason's lover. Back in Greece, the king keeps the throne, the fleece has no power, and Medea lives an exile's life, respected but feared, abandoned by Jason. When she learns he's to marry the king's daughter, Medea tames her emotions and sends gifts via her sons; then, loss overwhelms her and she unleashes a fire storm on the king, the bride, and Jason.

and cries easily.

But promise me you'll beg the bride...

...to convince her father

not to banish our children.

Don't worry, I'll do it.

Good-bye.

Go. If you are fortunate, as I wish...

...you'll return with the happy news...

...that we're expecting.

Mama sends you this gift

for your wedding.

She says she does not hate you,

and wishes you well.

Thank your mother and tell her

that I am pleased with her gift.

Your highness!

Your highness!

Come, it's time to sleep.

- Just a while longer!

- Behave yourself, come on!

Get down! Be good.

Down.

There, all done.

What a good boy you are.

Now let's go to bye-byes.

Let's go.

Climb into my arms.

Come on, let's go.

Get down.

Come on.

Darling.

Sleep, be good.

Sleep.

Sleep.

Darling.

Why do you try

to pass through the fire?

You can't do it!

It's useless to try!

You can talk to me if you want,

but I don't want you near me.

What have you done?

- Aren't you suffering too now?

- I want to suffer!

Your own god will condemn you!

- What do you want from me?

- Let me bury my children.

- Go and bury your bride.

- I'll go!

But without my two children!

The tears you shed now are nothing!

You'll realize when you're old!

Please, in the name of your god!

Let me caress those poor,

innocent bodies!

Don't keep insisting! It's useless!

Nothing is possible any more!

Pier Paolo Pasolini

Pier Paolo Pasolini (Italian: [ˈpjɛr ˈpaːolo pazoˈliːni]; 5 March 1922 – 2 November 1975) was an Italian film director, poet, writer, and intellectual. Pasolini also distinguished himself as an actor, journalist, novelist, playwright, and political figure. He remains a controversial personality in Italy due to his blunt style and the focus of some of his works on taboo sexual matters, but he is an established major figure in European literature and cinematic arts. His murder prompted an outcry in Italy and its circumstances continue to be a matter of heated debate. more…
