with that universal

compulsory

and perverse educational system

that shapes all of us,

from the manager class,

down to the poor.

that pushes all of us inside

the arena of having

everything at any cost.

This is the reason

why everyone wants the same things and

why they behave all the same way.

So if I have in my hands an administration

meeting or a financial maneuver,

I use those.

Or I use a crowbar.

And when I decide to use a crowbar

I make my violence

to get what I want.

Why do I want it?

Because they told me that

it's a virtue to want it.

I exercise the right to my virtue.

I am a murderer, and I am a good person.

So people nowadays don't mind

killing at all..

That's where the scenery has changed,

now there's the desire to kill and

this desire binds us as

sinister brothers of

a sinsiter failure of

an entire social system

that produces gladiators who were

all tought to have,

possess and destroy.

You see all of us as

farmers with no school education,

ignorant but happy.

I will spit it out for you,

I descend to Hell.

and I know many things that for now

won't bother your rests.

But be careful.

Hell is coming up to you.

It's true, he wears

many clothings and

wears many masks.

All of us are victims and

all of us are guilty.

But the desire, the need...

for the crowbar,

to assault, to kill,

is strong and is in all of us.

And it won't exist much longer

the private

and risky experience of those people who...

how can I put it..

has touched a "violent life".

But don't make a fool of yourselves.

You lot

with your school

your tv

with the calm of your newspapers

you

are the great preservers

of this horrible order

an order based on the idea of possessing

and on the idea of destroying.

Let me get back to the first question.

You magically wipe out everything,

the compulsory school,

the elected officials,

the tv itself.

What do you have left?

Everything.

I have everything left.

Myself,

to be alive,

to be alive in the world,

to see, to work, to understand, my books

My movies.

I would keep making cinema

even if I were the last man on the Earth,

maybe I'd keep making it

because I need it

because I like making it and I would make it.

Either I kill myself... or I make it!

I, I... by making cinema

by making it

I somehow express myself.

And if this expression of mine

gets alienated,

who cares!

In the meanwhile I've expressed myself

as free as I could.

Now enough about myself

I've just

talked too much about myself,

everybody know that

I pay my experiences

on my skin, maybe it's me who's wrong,

but I'll keep telling you that we're all

in danger.

Pasolini,

if this is your vision of the world,
