Nostradamus Page #4

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.

lf you break this oath,

you will be killed

Not by the lnquisition.

But by one of us.

Do you understand?

l swear.

You can move

into the guest house.

Practice as a doctor in Arjin.

Now notice how the catch works?

You will use it

while l am away.

Copernicus.

Yes, Copernicus.

The church...

Copernicus is right.

The earth does revolve

around the sun.

lf you say that in public,

you'll be burned at the stake.

Church stands

in the way of truth.

These books.

Here is Al Ghasalis work,

''The Elixir of Bliss''...

in his own hands.

There...

the scriptures of the Kabbalah

Sloman's key.

The men who wrote these

were saints...

even though the church

considers them socialist.

Many of them had the power

to see the future.

You must learn

how they did that.

So you can decipher

your dreams.

Nothing is accidental.

Everything is according

to God's law.

What is that?

lt leads to the inner

secret in yourself.

And there you will see

the future.

Nutmeg?

Partly.

l'll tell you

the exact formula later.

You must be very careful,

too much can be poisonous.

You have to let your body

get use to it slowly.

Then your visions

will be clearer.

What is that?

Our friend, Leonardo, a

machine that drives underwater

And this?

An explosion greater

than anything we know.

ln the days to come you'll

read under my direction.

You will copy nothing.

No book must leave this room.

lf even the slightest

suspicion should arise.

We are lost.

lt is unbelievable.

Does Marie know it is here?

No.

And she must never find out.

Not even if she is your wife.

Your tonsils

are slightly inflamed.

Nothing to worry about.

But it hurts.

Here.

l can help you.

Dress yourself.

ls it serious?

No. l will have you return

with your husband.

What?

l'll explain to him

that the female breast...

is a very sensitive organ...

which should be regularly

and tenderly massaged.

Otherwise, the blood turns

sweet, and flows sluggishly.

This causes heart cramps

and severe pain.

None of these women

are really sick.

Look.

A stone, no cells, no fibers...

nothing structural in common

with plants animals.

Once l have added

water and heat,...

simulating frequent rain,

followed by strong sunshine...

l reproduce liverwort.

And flowering liverwort.

So there is

a direct transition...

between organic

and inorganic matter.

Yes. But precisely between

stone and plants.

As between plants and animals

which Scalinger...

proved theories

between coral and worms.

Congratulations.

Write it down. We will send it

to the friends.

Write it down.

So you can all read and

discuss it without me.

How is my work to progress

in isolation?
