Nostradamus Page #2

Synopsis: Recounts the life and loves of the physician, astrologer, and famed prognosticator; his encounters with medieval science and the Inquisition; and his early struggles with his visions of the future. The film is set in France in the 16th century during one of the periodic plague outbreaks (as opposed to the Black Death [mid-14th-century Europe] or the Black Plague [mid-17th-century London]). The film depicts Nostradamus's rise in influence, because of both his success in treating plague and his predictions, culminating in his appointment as court physician to Charles IX of France.

You will die

if you won't let me treat you.

And sell my soul to the Devil?

Oh, nonsense.

Take the cross.

lf you take the cross,

l'll believe you.

Kiss it.

lf you are the Devil,

it will singe your lips.

Get the stretcher

and take him to the church.

Do you want me to lie

with the others?

ls not every person

equal before God?

He's a Lutheran.

Even if l were, should this man

die because of it?

Are you a Lutheran?

No. l'm a devout Catholic.

Prove it.

Gladly, but if you wait

for proof, you'll be dead.

Undress him.

And burn the clothes.

But they are the robes

of the Holy lnquisition.

Then he will die in the robes

of the Holy lnquisition...

and then, along with his holy

infested robes, he will burn.

Here, take this bible.

Accept this bible as a gift.

Thank you.

But it has been translated.

You think God

only speaks Latin?

Should only the monks know

what God wants to tell us.

That is heresy.

According

to the Catholic Church...

but l believe that God's word

should be on every tongue.

To speak to every man.

-Are you Lutheran?

-l am a man of God, sir.

And we are building

a new church.

One without idols.

We are building a New World!

This is yours, sir!

ls this the answer!

Who ever wants

to build a New World...

must first destroy the old!

Your wife is coming.

She will drag me away

to those fools.

Julius.

We are already having desert.

Desert... Coming.

Our unseen host,

give us the honor.

Doctor Scalinger, your cook

has outdone himself.

The cook l enjoy everyday...

the charming guests unfortunately not.

What are you working on now?

We are examining the similarity

in the structure...

in plants and animals.

So that is why l haven't seen

my daughter all week.

She will get old and ugly

before her time.

She'll contribute a great deal

to the advancement of science.

l rather she contribute

to the procreation.

What the girl is doing

is wonderful.

Welcome sir, Dr. Scalinger

has been expecting you.

Bring the luggage.

Your science

is a crime against God!

Dr. Scalinger? Dr. Nostradamus.

Oh how interesting.

l have gathered

you have performed wonders...

against the plague

with your magic rose pills.

Nothing but heresy.

l'm glad to see you, will you

excuse us. You must be tired.

May l introduce Mademoiselle

Marie Abuerligne...

without her l'm deaf and blind.

This is Dr. Nostradamus.

He is here at last.

Thank you.

Good evening, Mademoiselle.

Good evening, Monsieur.

What is the active substance?

-l don't know.

-You don't know.

l often seek animals and plants

of different choice.

That is how l found out

the rose petals help.

What is even more important

is hygiene.
