Splendor

To The Splendor!

This way...

We'll soon get started...

This is the scale model

for the new project...

following your suggestions...

The main idea is to have

a sole room...

if instead you wish to stick to

the original project,

we can leave a wide entrance,

with the two lateral stairs

separated from...

Jordan,

should we load this too?

Here in the "way in", the entrance...

We originally had an elevator,

but seeing it's just one floor,

I opted for an escalator.

In this room you'll have the

device showroom, TV, Hi-Fi...

and the bathrooms...

...the cheap seats...

the sections...

- ... also, from this side...

- No, it stays here in the hall...

Watch your hands.

- What are they doing?

- Assembling the movie theater.

The Mayor authorized it.

Hey, you want to get

me into trouble?

- Why?

- What do you mean, why?

"Mussolini defends the furrow"...

Want to turn him into

a forest ranger?

But...

Move it...

- But it's all mounted.

- You have to move it.

All right.

We have to move it here.

Jordan.

- Here's the Mayor.

- Good evening, Mayor.

Gregorio, bring the chair.

I've spotted a place here.

...I won't let you see.

It's starting!

I'm the sound technician...

the memories of my childhood

are almost all here...

crackles from the screen

as loud as explosions...

Verdi's trumpets and Fritz

Lang's sprocket wheels.

In order! Get in line!

Don't push or I'll

suspend ticket sales.

Get your money ready

and don't push.

Casimiro! Casimiro! These people

will tear down the house.

Casimiro!

- Excuse me, excuse me.

- What's up?

- Yeah, Jordan, the where and the when.

- Right, the how and the why.

Jordan, there's standing-room-only

in the lower seats.

Miss Chantal di Vidier.

Get ready for the next number.

Thanks a lot!

We'll go directly from Viel to the

great comedian Giaque Vita.

"Voila Mon Reine" Is that

how you say it in French?

I've never seen such

a pretty movie house.

Outline of Neorealism.

What's neorealism?

Look, in films...

you shouldn't make people

dream by fooling them...

you should say the truth.

"Roma, citt aperta"

- Schiusa?

- "Sciusci"

- Paisa?

- "Pais"

- "Miracolo a Milano"

- Yes, but look there.

Even then there was a boss,

a scumbag like yours.

Like all bosses, as

a matter of fact.

He persecuted the beggars,

the homeless...

Does it have a happy ending?

Yes, like all fables, it ends well.

You can see it

tomorrow if you like.

- Tomorrow?

- Yes, tomorrow.

"A lira to see the sunset.

Make yourself comfortable, please."

"A lira for the sunset."

What a profile! What a look!

What a face!

"You won't end up here.

Who knows who your father was?

"100 liras.

"100 liras?

"Next!

"What a face, what a smile,

what a spiritual look!

"You're something important,

"Who knows how it will come out?

It doesn't end here.

- Jordan!

- What?

Standing room only in

the lower seats.

Standing room only.

Come on, boys, wake up.

THE GREAT WAR:

"If you weren't drafted before,

Why are you here now?

"I was in a "college"

until a few days ago.

- "Do you understand?

- But then came the amnesty...

This government is big-hearted!

- "30 liras.

- 20.

"I help you, and you haggle?

"What's your name?

"I don't do it for the money,

but because I pity you.

"Very well, 30 liras!

"Ok, kid, answer me a question.

"Have you understood I was

at the Orsoline "college"?

"Maybe I didn't express myself clearly.

First give, then you can have.

My name is Bruno.

- "First give, then have?

- Yes.

"I make no promises.

"My name is Busacca Giovanni, with

double "n". '88 class, from Milan.

"Get back in line.

Sir, the hat.

"Behave yourselves...

"What are you saying?

Speak louder!

- "Can you close that window?

- That one?

"Yes. Next to the tall guy.

- "Next to the tall guy.

- Yes, yes.

"You won't notice it because

ours will cover it.

"Who's the senior among you?

- My name's Unciata.

- Unciata.

- Nice name.

- Thank you.

"Attention! In 10 minutes, I want to

see everyone at his place!

"Bayonets fixed, and all

guns perfectly greased!

That corruption joint should

be named "Horror"...

instead of "Splendor". The owner,

without a doubt, is a commie.

A certain disturbing woman hangs

around there, dressed in red!...

befitting a daughter of the devil.

We've been warned, it's

a sinner's paradise.

And lighting the despicable

road in that joint...

with red flashes and reflections...

from the scarce cloth that

salaciously wraps her...

trying to cover up her

opulent shamefulness.

Red are her fiery eyes, red the

sensual mouth, red her tongue.

Hey!

But the big winner at the Cannes

Festival has been Italian cinema.

The jury's special prize...

was awarded to Antonioni's

"La Avventura".

This is an especially

significant motivation...

and praises the noble intention...

of searching for a

new film language.

Now, the moment we've waited for.

The Palm D'Or for Federico Fellini...

for his already famous

"La Dolce Vitta".

An open-air party!

Shake it!

Have the exact change ready,

don't push and stay in line.

- Hey, Jordan, the where and the when.

- The how and the why.

Jordan! Standing room only

in the lower seats.

But who...

I have a ticket for the movie.

There's room upstairs, come.

"Do you know which is the

most beautiful age?

"I'll tell you, it's your

own age, day by day.

"Don't blow the horn,

they're all resting.
