you understand me...

We have to defend our women

You're right, for God's sake,

you're right.

I won't let you go

with nothing in your hands

In my opinion,

you need at least a caliber 38

Hey boys,

the law accords you the right

to defend your homes:

if you shoot them in the garden,

then drag them indoor

Ok

Thanks

The joy of a beautiful holiday out in the open

The sun of the desert

shining on your swimming-pool

Why breathe the infected air of the city

when you can enjoy your life

with "Sunny Dunes Relax"

Playing tennis on the emerald grass,

walking in the open

in the middle of the desert

taking your kid hunting on wild walks

You could even

spot the mountain lion

Sun, fresh air,

good water in your garden

Become an independent man,

a pioneer's life

in the West's endless horizon

And for you ladies,

a completely furnitured kitchen,

for the happiness of your husband

and child

And don't forget the pleasure

of a golf game

on the golf court that

Sunny Dunes has prepared for you

Nine holes on a fabulous background

What are you waiting for to leave that

crowded madhouse city?

Move here today, for a new life in

the healthy climate of the desert

Are you getting into aerial acrobatics, Bob?

No, Jane, I'm just flying over the desert

to look for our new home for the holidays

Finding it it's easy,

just call 84868

Can you repeat the number, Bob?

Of course:
Sunny Dunes Land Development Company,

Box 82, Los Angeles, California

News from inland:

today the works for the new highway

that connects the hills to the city

of Los Angeles have finished

because of the works,

and the houses on the route had been

knocked down.

This is the data provided

by the building department

Vietnam:
american soldiers who

died on the vietnamese front

are nearly 50.000 according to the latest

data from the Pentagon

The number of soldiers being

cured in military hospitals

wasn't noted. Corporal Darry

Marshall from our city

died on the battlefield a week ago

- Did you see here?

- What?

we've got 7 multimillionaires

at this time.

We, who?

California.

Texas has 4, but New York beats us

It was time

I see

to an extremist association have been arrested

Talking at a businessmen's association lunch,

the governor of California said

that the time to put an end to

student riots has come

And now let's go

to the weather report

directly from the weather station

I want to go and see what's going on.

When you're finished, leave the line free,

perhaps I'll call you

- Good morning

- How are you?

Mister Giorgio, I'm calling because of this:

as I remember,

three days ago you asked me information

about industrial and textile sectors

Michelangelo Antonioni

Michelangelo Antonioni, Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI (29 September 1912 – 30 July 2007), was an Italian film director, screenwriter, editor, and short story author. Best known for his "trilogy on modernity and its discontents" — L'Avventura (1960), La Notte (1961), and L'Eclisse (1962), as well as the English-language Blowup (1966), Antonioni "redefined the concept of narrative cinema" and challenged traditional approaches to storytelling, realism, drama, and the world at large. He produced "enigmatic and intricate mood pieces" and rejected action in favor of contemplation, focusing on image and design over character and story. His films defined a "cinema of possibilities".Antonioni received numerous awards and nominations throughout his career, including the Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize (1960, 1962), Palme d'Or (1966), and 35th Anniversary Prize (1982); the Venice Film Festival Silver Lion (1955), Golden Lion (1964), FIPRESCI Prize (1964, 1995), and Pietro Bianchi Award (1998); the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists Silver Ribbon eight times; and an honorary Academy Award in 1995. He is one of three directors to have won the Palme d'Or, the Golden Lion and the Golden Bear, and the only director to have won these three and the Golden Leopard. more…
