Throw Away Your Books, Rally in the Streets Page #4

---

The lie of lies.

And between one "cut" and another...

...I am caught up under

the cold February sky.

This fantasy takes hold of me bit by bit.

I can't go home on the screen any more.

Polanski, Nagisa Oshima, Antonioni...

All that is a world that disappears

when the lights go up.

You just try showing a film

in broad daylight...

...on the wall of a building.

Goodbye.

I won't be back.

A family for 28 days' shooting.

A State only 28 days old.

A father just for 28 days.

28 days of disillusion and anger.

28 days of ashes and hope.

I'm taking off my costume

and moving on somewhere else.

A human aeroplane for only 28 days.

A Tokyo life 28 days long.

I loved Humphrey Bogart.

I loved Cinemascope...

...town shooting...

...love scenes...

I loved Mr. Sukita, the cameraman...

...Mr. Terayama, the director;

Mr. Usui, the assistant.

I loved the whole of that world,

but I don't love the cinema.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, cinema.

Goodbye.
