Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame Page #2

Synopsis: A young girl zealously wants to go to school and learn to read and write. Almost everywhere she is met with hostility or indifference. The only young boy who takes her to his school is thrown out by the teacher, because helping her prevented him from coming in time. - It must not go unnoticed that the schoolgirls and the female teacher are likewise hostile toward this girl. None of them want her in the classroom. On her way home she and other girls are taken as prisoners by boys playing talibans. They tear her school book to pieces (or rather what was left of it after the schoolgirls had done the same thing.) The "taliban boys" threaten to stone their girl prisoners (although in this movie there is little real physical violence against girls). The girl's attempts end in complete failure. (Whatever moods of the scenes throughout the entire movie, the acting by the central girl is really impressive.)

I don't want eggs

bring me money

I haven't find my mom

As soon as she'll be back ask her

Take back your eggs

Give me a little bread!

I want to buy a note book

I'm late for school

Wait a moment

I'm late for school

Take the money

Take the money and

give me a note book

It's ten rupees. For four eggs

you were supposed to have twenty

Two of them Brock. I've got

ten rupees and two eggs

With ten rupees you want to

buy a pencil or a note book

A note book

Thank you

-Where have you been?

-I sold eggs for the book

-Where is your pencil

-I'm going to get mom's lip-stick

Abbas, you are going to be

late for school!

I'll wait downstairs.

Quickly!

Abbas, wait for me!

Abbas, wait for me!

Quickly! We are late!

Quickly! My teacher will put me

standing on one foot!

Sir can I come in?

Come

-Why you've been so late?

-I brought the little girl with me

Every day you find a new excuse.

You were late!

-Who is she?

-My neighbor

Go to the corner and stand

on one foot

With hands up!

This is your punishment

What you want?

I bought a note book and I came

to school with Abbas

This is a school for boys.

Not for girls

-Go over there

-Go where?

To the other side

across river's bank

Go to register there

There is a girl school across

river's bank

Go!

-Where?

-Don't bother us!

Across the bank there is

a girl school

This is the place for you

Children, listen to me!

And then repeat

Let me stay

Don't bother us!

Go to girls' school

Don't bother us

A man was sleeping under a tree...

Teach me a story

Why you want to learn this story?

Go to girls' school and don't bother us

Teach me...

Nuts...

Learn first the alphabet

and forget the nuts

No pass!

You are godless!

We are Talibans!

-Where are you going

-To school

And what will you do at school

Hands up!

Turn to Buddha

-What are you holding?

-A book

-What are you doing with this

-I bought it for school

Girls aren't going to school!

Give it to me!

Attack!

-What are you holding?

-A lip-stick

I didn't have money for a pencil

and I took mom's lip-stick

You're sinful!

Sinful use lip-stick!

We are going to stone you!

We destroyed Buddha

with paper bullets!

This is Buddha's head

These are Buddha's eyes

You are smaller than Buddha's

little nail

Take in, Buddha's foot nails!

We stoned a girl

who had a lip-stick.

I'm not going to play the stone game

That's not a game

They are digging your grave

Stay here

That's it God's order

Don't move!

Didn't I say to follow God's order?

Won't you listen to me?

Don't you repent?

Repent!

Get back to God's way

Walk in the middle!

There are mines in the street!

Stone her!

Put her in the grave!

Leave me alone!
