and perhaps we have not

managed to explain ourselves

as well as we could.

once we're all set up here,

I'll go back to Italy,

and try to convince them.

What, you're going to leave us here?

- If Giovanni goes...

- We'll make do without him !

Nature has given all people

the same rights on this earth.

we're fighting a hard war

against the thieves and oppressors

which will know no peace

as long as man dominates man!

our fiercest enemies

are our exploiters!

Hurry up! get to work!

what, you're in a rush now?

Man, it sure is beautiful!

Go easy on it!

It's us... can we come in?

how's it going?

the fever's down.

I know that one

there're two of them in Tullio.

I don't remember that one.

we learned it yesterday...

it's the seventh letter...

Luigi ! right?

shall we go on?

but.. tell me...

are you ...in love?

does it concern you ?

Me ? Naw, imagine that...

Listen, Tullio,

do you love freedom ?

sure I do, who doesn't?

-but are you free ?

-sure I am!

not every day of my life...

Me, I want to be free

every single day of my life.

-understand?

-i understand, i do.

you don't want to get married.

is that it?

well, no!

have any kids?

a wife?

do you miss your family?

my god...

well, it depends...

yes and no...

you see, the family isn't everything!

we say that, and then one fine day...

some anarchist!

it's fine to learn to read,

but you've got to learn to think!

Well, what do you really want?

what do I want?

I just want to do what I please!

with you, for example.

your morals...

you forget them when it suits you.

huh! laugh, laugh...

good bye, comrades, good bye

good bye wives, sisters, mothers...

this society of thieves

has exiled us,

buried on the seashore

we are banished but strong...

we're off to the island

but we're not ashamed

because this ordeal

is consecrated by the future

but one day we will return,

stronger than ever,

and we'll have no peace

until the rights

of each and every worker

are fully respected.

Some people think people should

consume only what they produce

so as to stimulate production.

others think, and this, to me,

is real social justice,

that each should consume

according to his needs,

depending on what the

social resources are.''

Let me see that.

Even when it's Rossi saying it,

it's still nothing but theories !

- But we need theories!

- Sure, but which?

Me, I've learned one thing from books...

Forget it ! they've probably just

lost a pig or something.

this is the only phrase I've learned

from books, and it's good enough for me:

"By his very nature,

the learned man tends to intellectual

and moral perversion.

His vices are as follows:

Exaggerating his knowledge,

Jean-Louis Comolli

Jean-Louis Comolli (born 30 July 1941) is a French writer, editor, and film director. He was editor in chief of Cahiers du cinéma from 1966 to 1978, during which period he wrote the influential essays "Machines of the Visible" (1971) and "Technique and Ideology: Camera, Perspective, Depth of Field" (1971-2), both of which have been translated in English anthologies of film and media studies. This work was important in the discussion on apparatus theory, an attempt to rethink cinema as a site for the production and maintenance of dominant state ideology in the wake of May 1968. After his tenure at Cahiers, Comolli continued his work as a director and has since published numerous works on film theory, documentary, and jazz. He currently teaches film theory at the Universities of Paris VIII, Barcelona, Strasburg and Genève.In the spring of 2008, Comolli was invited to the Visions du réel documentary film festival in Nyon, Switzerland, where he developed his theory of documentary cinema. more…
