ATOMIC WAR BRIDE
Directed by
VELJKO BULAJIC:
- I am sure it's no bigger.
- That's not the way I see it.
It's grown a little.
Yesterday it was only this high.
I don't know...
I have a sharp eye for these things.
Yesterday it came up to there,
today up to here. The difference is this.
You've got to look the other way,
if you want it to grow, haven't you?
It's wonderful. In fact, there are
many wonders in the world.
I have lots of debts,
but life is wonderful.
Wonderful? I've been looking for work,
Oh, don't be discouraged, Louis,
things are not that bad as you think.
I've got a hunch that somehow today
you'll find some work.
- Easy to say when your pay comes in
each week. - Oh, it doesn't match, Louis.
I make a little money, I've got
to work hard. Well, I've got to go.
- I'll see you, huh?
- All the best.
I'll look down-and-out.
What do you think, the bride will mind?
Oh, listen, you could come just as you are.
- After all, we treat friends.
- I'll be a bit late on a wedding present.
I was thinking of...
Oh, there is one already.
Let that be your present, Louis.
No one will ever know, huh?
- All right, I've got to go now. So long.
- So long, John.
- All the best.
- Many thanks.
- John! John! Congratulations
and all the best. - Thank you!
Thank you.
- May I come in?
- Oh, why, yes, of course.
Here, with my good wishes.
- May I?..
- Of course.
I wish you tell me...
You know about these things...
I was told to fit it like this.
That's how it's done nowadays.
- Well, I think, really, that...
- You think the old-fashioned way is better?
I've got to go to Maria's, I want to be on time.
I am so glad, I could almost dance a jig.
That's nice! You'll be very happy, John.
How long will it take to pay for it?
- 18 months. - That's not bad. I don't earn
this much so I need two years to pay for it.
They are not in business for the health, you know.
The rate of interest could be higher.
The poorer you are the more things cost.
Haven't you thought about
buying her a washing machine?
Not so fast, give me time,
there's a time for everything...
Hold it, please.
I can hardly wait to see her come in here.
She'll see everything all at once,
because I'm going to turn off all lights.
I'm sure she'll be so happy,
she'll feel like crying. I am sure of it!
War declared!
- What was that? - War declared!
- Good bye. - Good bye.
- And thank you!
- All the best!
- Thanks!
- War declared! War declared!
- Taxi!
- War declared! War declared!
Read all about it! - Taxi!
War declared! It's war! War is declared!
Didn't you hear, mister?
War declared!
War! Read all about it!
War! War declared!
War declared!
War declared!
Read all about it!
War declared!
Will you all come around, please?
Everyone here will be issued a covering
to shield him against atomic radiation.
- Your attention, please!
- What?
- What about those international conventions?
- Of course they exist.
But the enemy doesn't care
about conventions.
Begin the distribution!
Catch! Quickly! Each of you must
catch a covering.
Come on now! Catch! Catch over there.
Here are the instructions.
You unfold them and put them
over your head as follows.
First, with both hands you slip it over
your head like Grandpa's nightshirt.
Second, pull it down over it.
Now, watch the demonstration please.
That's right, pull it down over it.
Third, lift up the hood.
Could I have another, there is
something wrong with mine?
Sorry for you, this is all we've got.
Pull it down.
Now pull it up again.
Down again.
Up again.
Down again.
Up again.
Down again.
Up again.
Down.
Up.
Down again.
Up again.
Good.
That's it.
And be sure you keep it in a dry place
that cannot span humidity.
That's all, now fold them up again!
- No! No! This is not for two!
- Let me in! I haven't got mine!
My hand! It's still out there!
I need my hand, I'm a mechanic!
What is going on?
- What's all the noise about?
- Didn't you hear? War is declared.
War is declared?
I don't believe it!
hey're ours!
They're our planes!
- Take me to St. Stevens hill.
- To St. Stevens hill? - Yes.
- Sorry, just where is that?
- Out near the Zoological gardens.
Oh, yeah, Zoological
gardens... I'm sorry, you see...
I haven't slept. I've been on
my job 18 hours already.
Here we go...
- Would you mind driving a little faster?
- Well, this taxi is old and slow...
Next year I am going to get
a brand-new one, if I can afford it.
That's why I work overtime.
I can't stop, it's terrible...
- What's going on?
- War has been declared.
- What did you say?
- Our country is at war.
- Mama! Mama...
- What?!
- Darling... darling boy!..
- Don't worry, Mama!
Take care of yourself, son!
- Will you look at that?
- Hey, you! Come! Let's go!
George! George!..
Don't leave me all alone!
Down with war! Down with war!
Down with war!
- I agree, but don't shout, it won't help!
- What's that you're shouting?
- He said:
down with war now.- I did not! I said down with the war!
Then you're under arrest.
You must like war! Go ahead, say it!
Say that you like war, I'm waiting!
- To the police station! - Oh yeah!
If you have a warrant for my arrest...
A warrant! Do you hear? A warrant!
- What do I owe you? - Not a cent,
because today is a big holiday!
Get going!
Maria! I love you now more than ever.
I had to tell you that.
No matter what they do,
it mustn't separate us.
John, Mom and Dad are worried.
Come on, darling, let's go.
- Hello everyone!
- Hello. - Hello John.
Surprised that the bridegroom
didn't run away?
You'd never do that John,
we are certain of it.
Things were so quiet...
We were here waiting.
In 10 minutes everything simply
fell apart with this war.
We heard the news, just now.
Your sister turned on the radio
just to hear a little music, and then...
It's not a surprise. That's certain.
The problems we faced
simply had to lead to a war.
Inevitably.
John, what are they saying in the city?
That no one should worry because
everything is going to be all right.
And before midnight
it's going to be all over.
And what is meant by "over"?
What? It means the war stops.
The war will stop at midnight.
Possibly, yes.
Let's wait and see.
And anyway I have to leave now, John.
They expect me down at a factory
right now. I've got to go.
The wedding ceremony won't last long.
Isn't that right, John?
Yes, sir. You'll see, it'll be a short...
- Sorry... - We're just going to to sit down...
- Children, can't be any weddings today...
- We'll marry if we're not late to church!
Well, I think that it must be true.
Soon everything is going to be all right.
The politicians have families,
the president has a family...
The trouble is now no one knows anything,
the whole world has gone crazy.
Mama, must you bring up
