00:00:06,719 --> 00:00:12,439
Dream of a Ridiculous Man   / screen version of a narrative by F. M. Dostoyevsky

3
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,800
Everything there was exactly like here...

4
00:00:50,179 --> 00:00:54,820
but sparkled with some solemn and holy exultation.

5
00:00:54,820 --> 00:00:58,280
Never in my life had I seen such beauty in a human on our earth.

6
00:00:58,579 --> 00:01:03,000
Only in our children — in first years of their life.

7
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,780
With a single glance at their faces, I understood everything.

8
00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:08,680
Everything!

9
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,240
It was a land not desacrated with sin.

10
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,100
It was inhabited by people who did not trespass.

11
00:01:16,340 --> 00:01:18,340
I saw them with my own eyes, I cognized them

12
00:01:18,914 --> 00:01:21,554
I loved them — and I suffered for them later.

13
00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:25,560
Ah, you old chap. A dream...

14
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:26,674
is just delusion!

15
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:29,900
Hallucination.

16
00:01:42,819 --> 00:01:47,479
But how can you make a Paradise? I don't know.

17
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,200
Because I'm not able to express it with words.

18
00:01:51,859 --> 00:01:56,519
And at the same time — It's so easy. Imagine: one day...

19
00:01:56,519 --> 00:01:58,299
everything would shape into it.

20
00:01:58,540 --> 00:02:00,960
The key thing is —

21
00:02:00,980 --> 00:02:02,980
love others as you love yourself.

22
00:02:02,980 --> 00:02:04,980
That's the main principle.

23
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:07,900
Nothing else is needed.

24
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,200
It was last November when I comprehended the Truth.

25
00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:22,000
It was exactly the 3d of November, and, since then, I remember every single moment.

26
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,300
I promised myself to commit suicide, and I would have surely done it,

27
00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:29,080
if I hadn't encounter that little girl.

28
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,020
Sir, there! Mommy!

29
00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:36,280
Sir!

30
00:02:39,379 --> 00:02:40,180
Sir!

31
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:04,280
But I don't care anymore, do I?

32
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,920
For in an hour or two, everything will fade away.

33
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,679
So why will she, or anything on earth, be important to me.

34
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:17,039
I am turning. Into. Zero.

35
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,519
Into the absolute zero!

36
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:36,560
(Come on, come on! / Your Excellency, will you, please? / Gee-up! / Here you go!)

37
00:03:39,834 --> 00:03:41,834
Into the zero. / (He's a beggar, a sheer beggar!)

38
00:03:41,834 --> 00:03:43,093
Into the absolute zero.

39
00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:49,500
(No penny for you today, you owe to us!) / Into the absolute zero.

40
00:03:56,180 --> 00:03:58,180
Who's here?

41
00:04:09,379 --> 00:04:12,599
So life and universe now solely depend on me, right?

42
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:16,600
If a bullet runs into my head, the world will vanish. At least, for me.

43
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,139
I also had an idea at that moment: if I lived on Mars or on the Moon,

44
00:04:21,139 --> 00:04:26,800
and did something disgraceful there, would I care from over here, or not?

45
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,560
And that was when I fell asleep.

46
00:04:33,019 --> 00:04:35,019
I fell asleep insensibly,

47
00:04:35,459 --> 00:04:39,219
as if continuing to do the reasoning on the same substances.

48
00:05:10,752 --> 00:05:12,752
Who's here?

49
00:05:21,420 --> 00:05:25,100
Ah... So there is life even behind the death's door .

50
00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:13,599
Can this land be just like ours?

51
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,879
How can there be such a repeat -- and what for?..

52
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,580
It was a state of genuine love of each other.

53
00:08:22,579 --> 00:08:25,259
Complete. Universal.

54
00:08:32,860 --> 00:08:35,779
They had love, and they would give birth to children

55
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:44,240
but I never noticed any outbursts of that brutal lewdness that come upon nearly everyone on our earth —

56
00:08:44,340 --> 00:08:46,293
upon anyone and every single one —

57
00:08:46,293 --> 00:08:51,413
and that are nearly the sole origin of the mankind's sins.

58
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:34,039
But do I care if it was only a dream or not, if this dream heralded me the Truth.

59
00:09:38,059 --> 00:09:46,199
How come my hetty heart and my freakish paltry mind could rise to such Revelation of Truth?

60
00:09:47,919 --> 00:09:49,959
I say them myself!

61
00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:54,120
I cognized them and I understood.

62
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,139
I loved them — and I suffered for them later.

63
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:15,180
And now I'm an object of mockery. They say it was only a dream.

64
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,899
But do I care if it was a dream or not, if this dream heralded me the Truth.

65
00:11:22,860 --> 00:11:24,860
I saw the Truth.

66
00:11:25,299 --> 00:11:31,539
I saw it, and I know that people can be beautiful and happy without losing the ability to live on earth.

67
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,360
And this faith of mine is exactly what they make fun of.

68
00:11:41,659 --> 00:11:43,659
But it may have been not a dream.

69
00:11:43,659 --> 00:11:48,279
So far, I kept it back, but now I'm going to say this truth, too.

70
00:11:48,554 --> 00:11:50,554
The thing is that...

71
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:54,879
...I totally corrupted all their morals.

72
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:49,020
Yes, we are deceitful, malicious and unjust,

73
00:16:49,019 --> 00:16:50,480
we know it.

74
00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:53,799
But we have science

75
00:16:53,980 --> 00:16:58,600
and we will use it to find the Truth again.

76
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,180
But this time, we will accept the Truth with full conscience,

77
00:17:03,179 --> 00:17:05,099
for knowledge is superior to sensation

78
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:10,000
cognizance of life is superior to life itself

79
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:16,059
Every single one belongs to everyone else, and vice versa.

80
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:52,019
Who's here? Who's here?

81
00:17:53,740 --> 00:17:56,180
Who's here?

82
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:35,519
Who's here?

83
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,560
They say, I was dreaming, deluded, hallucinating...

84
00:18:54,559 --> 00:18:58,659
A dream? What is a dream?

85
00:18:58,660 --> 00:19:00,840
You mean, our life is not what we see when we sleep?

86
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:03,140
Okay, let it be so.

87
00:19:03,339 --> 00:19:07,799
But I wanted to extinguish the life that you celebrate so much, with suicide

88
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,300
And my dream,

89
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:16,600
it heralded me the new, the great, the revived life.

90
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,480
The end
