appear in his production of Hamlet.
1064
01:
45:59,767 -- 01:46:04,101Hannelore! Was the cast list
1065
01:
46:04,204 -- 01:46:05,262Not yet.
1066
01:
46:06,006 -- 01:46:10,238Good. Let's wait another two da ys.
Thank you.
1067
01:
46:16,083 -- 01:46:19,177I must offer them more
than old comrades.
1068
01:
46:19,453 -- 01:46:24,618You must cultivate connections.
That's the essence of the system.
1069
01:
46:24,758 -- 01:46:29,218Let me tell you, yesterda y I went to
1070
01:
46:29,329 -- 01:46:34,323...it was Fa ust and the name of some
white-faced clown was Mephisto.
1071
01:
46:34,435 -- 01:46:39,338What a joke! And Mephisto by some
man called Hfgen, it was terrible!
1072
01:
46:39,440 -- 01:46:43,900I'd rather go to the Ba varian
People's Theater. Goodbye then.
1073
01:
46:44,745 -- 01:46:47,407Why am I doing all this?
1074
01:
46:48,716 -- 01:46:50,206Beca use I enjo y it.
1075
01:
46:50,317 -- 01:46:55,755I must enjo y amateur pla ys and use
actors that are blonde not talented.
1076
01:
46:55,856 -- 01:46:58,154Most are totally untalented.
1077
01:
46:58,325 -- 01:47:02,785A Frankfurt a udience
appla uded Marquis Posa's...
1078
01:
47:02,896 -- 01:47:07,060...'Give us freedom of thought'.
Performance stopped, pla y withdrawn.
1079
01:
47:07,167 -- 01:47:11,900I n Munich, 'The Robbers', withdrawn.
Schiller, our national poet!
1080
01:
47:12,005 -- 01:47:16,874The y want to produce pla ys by
German a uthors. But what a uthors?
1081
01:
47:17,010 -- 01:47:22,971Those who ha ven't emigrated
aren't allowed to write, or won't.
1082
01:
47:24,084 -- 01:47:29,021It's simply impossible to offer
theater worthy of the name.
1083
01:
47:29,189 -- 01:47:36,459Unless I dig up a couple of old farces.
All Rococco wigs and white faces.
1084
01:
47:39,533 -- 01:47:46,166The joke is that the regime now sees
Shakespeare as one of our own.
1085
01:
47:46,273 -- 01:47:50,573Let's do 'As You Like lt',
'Where the Banished Return.'
1086
01:
47:50,878 -- 01:47:54,871Show the opponents of dictatorship
that the will for freedom still lives.
1087
01:
47:54,982 -- 01:47:58,748I didn't hear that!
I can't possibly ha ve heard that!
1088
01:
48:05,793 -- 01:48:08,091Am I not an incredible villain?
1089
01:
48:09,897 -- 01:48:12,593Isn't what I'm doing insane?
1090
01:
48:18,472 -- 01:48:21,999"Frst and Niklisch, both on
the staff of your theater...
1091
01:
48:22,309 -- 01:48:27,303...on grounds of German
racial purity... dismiss them."
1092
01:
48:28,415 -- 01:48:30,406- Good morning.
- Good morning.
1093
01:
48:31,518 -- 01:48:35,079- Well, how are you?
- Fine.
1094
01:
48:37,958 -- 01:48:41,951- And you?
- Everything all right.
1095
01:
48:42,329 -- 01:48:46,095The stage-hands that are concerned,
Frst and Niklisch...
1096
01:
48:46,967 -- 01:48:49,299...are indispensable...
1097
01:
48:52,072 -- 01:48:55,667...and the loss of their services...
1098
01:
48:56,276 -- 01:49:01,407...would jeopardize the theater's
work. Date. Heil! Signature.
1099
01:
49:06,587 -- 01:49:09,681Germans!
Don't tolerate Nazi oppression.
1100
01:
50:23,263 -- 01:50:25,458Embassy of the German Reich
1101
01:
50:49,589 -- 01:50:53,582Did you bring me anything from
Germany? A leather coat, at least?
1102
01:
50:54,094 -- 01:50:55,527- Leather coat?
- Yes.
1103
01:
50:55,629 -- 01:51:01,761It's the fashion for men. Those who
took me to the frontier had them.
1104
01:
51:07,140 -- 01:51:11,270Your e yes are so dead,
how do the y look?
1105
01:
51:11,878 -- 01:51:14,676- Empty?
- No, dazed.
1106
01:
51:14,781 -- 01:51:17,272Yes, that's how I felt these past da ys.
1107
01:
51:17,384 -- 01:51:20,080You see? You were ne ver like that.
1108
01:
51:21,621 -- 01:51:25,751I belie ve I should be grateful.
1109
01:
51:26,426 -- 01:51:30,419Without you, I'd be in a
concentration camp, or already dead.
1110
01:
51:32,366 -- 01:51:36,598If you still like being with me,
then sta y here.
1111
01:
51:36,837 -- 01:51:40,500I'll look after you. You needn't
lea ve the house, not at first.
1112
01:
51:40,607 -- 01:51:43,599Then we'll find jobs. You're so gifted.
1113
01:
51:44,378 -- 01:51:47,472- I could ha ve gone to America.
- There you go.
1114
01:
51:48,081 -- 01:51:51,1751115
01:
51:51,418 -- 01:51:53,409But also a terrible coward.
1116
01:
51:54,054 -- 01:51:58,582What do I do elsewhere? Be an e xtra,
a stage-hand, a technician?
1117
01:
51:59,960 -- 01:52:03,828were made for manual labor?
1118
01:
52:04,197 -- 01:52:07,189I'll pro vide for you.
What else do you want?
1119
01:
52:08,235 -- 01:52:09,429Success.
1120
01:
52:09,536 -- 01:52:13,870Hendrik Hfgen, just imagine...
you'd belong to me.
1121
01:
52:16,410 -- 01:52:19,709Juliette, I ha ve to go now.
1122
01:
52:21,882 -- 01:52:24,976- Shall I see you again?
- I don't know.
1123
01:
52:25,085 -- 01:52:30,352- Can I see you off at the station?
- No, you don't fit into the picture.
1124
01:
52:33,326 -- 01:52:36,989All right, forget the station.
Just do what you want.
1125
01:
52:37,664 -- 01:52:39,131I do.
1126
01:
52:41,101 -- 01:52:42,591That's why I'm here.
1127
01:
52:45,472 -- 01:52:49,568Juliette, don't write anymore.
It's no good.
1128
01:
53:33,720 -- 01:53:36,154There aren't many people in this caf.
1129
01:
53:38,992 -- 01:53:42,052Would you prefer to sit in the sun?
You like that.
1130
01:
53:42,162 -- 01:53:45,791No. Though I ha ven't had
much sunshine lately.
1131
01:
53:49,102 -- 01:53:52,594Ma y I ask you something?
Do you still live alone?
1132
01:
53:53,173 -- 01:53:55,767No, I've got friends. And you?
1133
01:
53:56,510 -- 01:54:00,537Friends... in times like these?
It's difficult.
1134
01:
54:01,848 -- 01:54:06,148How can you still live in Berlin?
What keeps you there?
1135
01:
54:06,253 -- 01:54:08,653Barbara, I live in the theater.
1136
01:
54:08,822 -- 01:54:10,687And that is in Berlin?
1137
01:
54:10,824 -- 01:54:14,658I don't think you can judge
from Paris.
1138
01:
54:18,598 -- 01:54:23,160You're more than an actor now.
You took an oath. You're a manager.
1139
01:
54:23,403 -- 01:54:26,372I didn't take the oath,
I just mo ved my lips.
1140
01:
54:26,473 -- 01:54:29,874Someone has to sa ve our
values for a better world.
1141
01:
54:30,010 -- 01:54:36,006I'm pla ying Hamlet, whether those
in power like Shakespeare or not.
1142
01:
54:36,349 -- 01:54:42,811Shakespeare is their ornament to
pro ve "we're not as bad as you think."
1143
01:
54:42,923 -- 01:54:44,652You can't sta y in Berlin.
1144
01:
54:44,791 -- 01:54:49,353I ha ve a family in Berlin.
You know I'm married to the theater.
1145
01:
54:49,729 -- 01:54:52,596I can help people who are
