Brotherhood of the Wolf Page #4

Synopsis: In 1765 something was stalking the mountains of central France. A 'beast' that pounced on humans and animals with terrible ferocity. Indeed they beast became so notorious that the King of France dispatched envoys to find out what was happening and to kill the creature. By the end, the Beast of Gevaudan had killed over 100 people, to this day, no one is entirely sure what it was, wolf? hyena? or something supernatural? Whatever it was, shepherds had the same life-expectancy as the red-suited guys in 'Star Trek'. The Beast is a popular myth in France, albeit one rooted firmly in reality; somewhat surprisingly it is little known to the outside world, and perhaps incredibly it has never been made into a movie. Until now... Based on the true story of the Beast of the Gevaudan that terrorized France in the mid-XVIIIth century, the movie aims to tell first and explain afterwards. In the first part, a special envoy of the King of France, altogether biologist, explorer and philosopher, arrives

When it was torched,

Is he psychic?

That's not needed.

To observe is sufficient.

When i was little,

i came to play here with my brother.

Weren't you afraid?

He would protect me against

the ghosts.

Don't you like the hunt?

- Is that a crime around here?

According to indian custom, you

steal someone's soul if you draw them.

Does my soul interest you?

Why on foot?

Do you want to get mutilated?

It's my fault.

- I ask nothing of you.

What was that?

- Only a wolf.

And what if it was the Beast?

- I dont think it was, Marianne.

Thanks.

I hope the Beast is one

of the wolves.

They wont be eating anyone.

What a special person.

Where did you find him?

- In Canada.

It's... How does one say it.

An Acad?

An Indian. An Irok,

from the tribe of the Mohawks.

An Indian? A real one?

He doesnt look like an Indian.

Makre sure that you're

in Saint-Alban tonight.

We'll entertain ourselves with

your servant.

He's not my servant.

What is he then, cursed?

- My brother.

How can you mix your

blood with that of a savage?

He who shares my discomfort,

is no savage.

Because of Mani i was able

to escape from the English.

I thought those animals

were cannibals.

As you can see, Sir Intendant,

Mani is no animal.

Would you be able to procriate

with a woman of our race?

All women are equal once

the candles are extinguished.

Yes, they're clear of mind.

The Indians slept with white men

and had children. We are equals.

That's said hasty.

It's a bit like with black men...

What do you think of it, Sardis?

Your bloodbrother must be a child of God.

You had him baptised?

- He didnt ask me.

Good. You follow times closely.

- Mani has his own believe.

He was somesort of priest in

his tribe.

Do Indians have priests?

They are lost.

What is their believe?

Every human has a conginial

with the animals. A totem

Nice, but i don't understand.

Would you mind?

Don't be afraid. It won't hurt.

U...

Kariboe... thats somekind of

deer.

Yes, a deer. What do you think?

Am I a deer by the horns or

by somebody else?

And my dear Thomas? What is his..

...totem?

- Worm.

A book-worm.

A snake?

- Snake?

With the Indians,

Snakes stand for wisdom

Wise snake.

And you, mylord Intendant?

A pig.

Away with those wrinkles.

With those barbarians the pigs

may represent nobility.

Who is next? Sardis?

- No. No

And me?

What am I? Half a lion, half

an eagle?

Change me in a lizard, so

my arm will grow back on.

Jean-Francois. Enough.

What's wrong? Am I going

too far?

Let me, let me.

Mrs., would you?

Excuse me, but your

tricks bore me.

I choose to withdraw, before you

start dancing on a ball.

Good evening.

That will relax you.
