The first articIe of the Agreement of the PeopIe.
39
00:05:00,007 --> 00:05:03,007
That the people of England,
being very unequally distributed
40
00:05:03,087 --> 00:05:06,087
for the election of their deputies in Parliament...
41
54
00:06:07,607 --> 00:06:10,607
And now they demand the birthright
for which they fought!

Oh, England,
69
00:07:44,647 --> 00:07:47,647
l, Gerrard Winstanley,
am one of your sons by freedom,
70
00:07:47,727 --> 00:07:50,486
and l do truly love yourpeace
71
00:07:50,487 --> 00:07:53,487
but by your cheating sons
in the thieving art of buying and selling,
72
00:07:54,727 --> 00:07:57,646
l was beaten out ofboth estate and trade
in London,
73
00:07:57,647 --> 00:08:00,647
and forced to accept the goodwill
of my beloved friend William Everard,
74
00:08:02,087 --> 00:08:04,126
to live a country life.
75
00:08:04,127 --> 00:08:07,127
And there, likewise, by the burden of taxes
and much free quarter,
76
00:08:07,927 --> 00:08:10,927
my weakback found the burden
heavier than l could bear.
77
00:08:12,247 --> 00:08:15,247
Yet not a full year since, being quiet at my work,
78
00:08:15,367 --> 00:08:18,006
my heart was filled with sweet thoughts,
79
00:08:18,007 --> 00:08:21,007
and many things were revealed to me
which l never read in books
80
00:08:21,447 --> 00:08:24,206
nor heard from the mouth of any flesh.
81
00:08:24,207 --> 00:08:27,207
And when l began to speak of them,
some people could not bear my words.
82
00:08:28,607 --> 00:08:31,366
And amongst those revelations, this was one..
83
00:08:31,367 --> 00:08:34,367
That the earth shall be made a common
treasury of livelihood to the whole ofmankind,
84
00:08:36,047 --> 00:08:37,806
without respect of persons.
85
00:08:37,807 --> 00:08:40,807
And l had a voice within me
bade me declare it all abroad,
86
00:08:40,967 --> 00:08:43,006
which l did obey.
87
00:08:43,007 --> 00:08:46,007
Then l was made to write a little book,
called The New Law ofRighteousness,
88
00:08:46,647 --> 00:08:48,646
and therein l declared it.
89
00:08:48,647 --> 00:08:50,686
Yet my mind was not at rest,
90
00:08:50,687 --> 00:08:53,206
because nothing was acted
91
116
00:11:24,887 --> 00:11:26,286
And the reason is this..
117
00:11:26,287 --> 00:11:28,086
that we may work in righteousness,
118
00:11:28,087 --> 00:11:31,087
and lay the foundation of making the earth
a common treasury for all,
119
00:11:31,687 --> 00:11:33,806
both rich and poor.
120
00:11:33,807 --> 00:11:36,807
That everyone that is born in the land
maybe fed by the earth, his mother,
121
00:11:37,687 --> 00:11:39,166
that brought him forth,
122
00:11:39,167 --> 00:11:42,046
according to the reason
that rules in the creation.
123
00:11:42,047 --> 00:11:45,047
Not enclosing any part into any particular hand,
124
00:11:45,287 --> 00:11:47,366
but all as one man,
125
00:11:47,367 --> 00:11:50,367
working together and feeding together
as sons of one father,
126
00:11:51,327 --> 00:11:53,006
members of one family,
127
00:12:27,727 --> 00:12:30,006
A sign? A sign of what, pray?
128
140
00:13:16,247 --> 00:13:19,247
You have already seduced ten of my flock
from out of my church by your ravings.
141
00:13:19,927 --> 00:13:22,927
You unhinge minds aIready rendered weak
by poverty and ignorance.
142
00:13:23,727 --> 00:13:26,727
Then the fauIt Iies in poverty and ignorance!
143
00:13:37,887 --> 00:13:40,887
(Chatter and Iaughter)
144
00:15:38,927 --> 00:15:41,926
WOMAN: Mr WinstanIey?
I wouId speak with you.
145
00:15:41,927 --> 00:15:44,086
If I may be of service.
146
00:15:44,087 --> 00:15:47,087
PIease, enter.
147
00:15:53,407 --> 00:15:56,407
COACHMAN: Go on!
(Horse whinnies)
148
00:16:03,047 --> 00:16:05,486
I have read your book.
149
00:16:05,487 --> 00:16:08,487
I have read it so often I know it by heart.
150
00:16:11,327 --> 00:16:14,327
The voice of God speaks in you,
and through you.
151
00:16:19,047 --> 00:16:22,047
You cannot conceive the degree
of my suffering.
152
00:16:31,527 --> 00:16:34,326
There is a favour I must ask of you.
153
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,327
One you cannot deny me before God.
154
00:16:40,607 --> 00:16:42,606
I shaII join your fIock.
155
00:16:42,607 --> 00:16:44,566
I, too, shaII dig.
156
00:16:44,567 --> 00:16:47,567
l am with child, but when...
157
00:16:48,927 --> 00:16:51,927
Our Iife is hard.
158
00:17:43,367 --> 00:17:46,367
(Bird caws)
159
00:17:54,807 --> 00:17:57,807
Ssh.
160
00:18:12,847 --> 00:18:15,847
(ChiId grizzIes)
161
00:18:17,927 --> 00:18:20,927
Friend, is this yours?
162
00:18:22,767 --> 00:18:25,767
I'm Gerrard WinstanIey.
163
00:18:28,447 --> 00:18:31,447
- You?
- Yes. I wrote it.
164
00:18:33,447 --> 00:18:36,447
Have you come to join the Diggers?
165
Aagh!
191
00:21:42,567 --> 00:21:45,567
(Laughter)
192
00:22:19,767 --> 00:22:22,767
(Curses)
193
00:22:43,807 --> 00:22:46,807

00:22:53,447 --> 00:22:56,447
(Bird fIies up)
195
00:22:59,767 --> 00:23:02,767
(BattIe cries)
196
00:23:03,407 --> 00:23:06,407
(Screaming)
197
00:23:19,527 --> 00:23:22,527
(Screams)
198
00:24:43,807 --> 00:24:46,807
I have with me a justice ofthe peace.
199
00:24:52,127 --> 00:24:55,127
AIthough you have done serious wrong
in trespassing on another's Iand, common Iand,
200
00:24:57,167 --> 00:24:59,326
ownedby Francis Drake, Esquire,
201
00:24:59,327 --> 00:25:02,327
the action taken against you
was not in accordance with the Iaw,
202
00:25:03,207 --> 00:25:06,207
and consequently,
l have no alternative but to release you.
203
229
00:29:22,167 --> 00:29:25,167
So, friends,
you wouId turn your sword bIades on us 230
00:29:26,167 --> 00:29:29,167
defenceIess men,
who fought by your sides in the war.
231
00:29:31,767 --> 00:29:34,767
So wouId you cut down poor women
and chiIdren?
232
00:29:37,687 --> 00:29:40,687
This is madness.
233
00:29:40,967 --> 00:29:43,967
Where are your crops?
234
00:29:44,207 --> 00:29:47,206
You'II not grow anything here. Not in this dust.
235
00:29:47,207 --> 00:29:50,046
Then Iet nature disperse us.
236
00:29:50,047 --> 00:29:53,047
We'II come to the GeneraI, Everard and I,
and expIain ourseIves to him.
237
00:30:08,207 --> 00:30:11,207
(Murmurs of approvaI)
238
00:30:47,087 --> 00:30:50,087
Good day, gentIemen.
239
00:30:53,527 --> 00:30:56,527
We observe you do not remove your hats
in the Lord GeneraI's presence.
240
00:30:57,167 --> 00:30:59,486
He is but a feIIow creature.
241
00:30:59,487 --> 00:31:02,487
Give honour where honour is due.
242
00:31:05,007 --> 00:31:07,166
WouId you kindIy expIain your mission?
243
00:31:07,167 --> 00:31:10,167
First we wiII have our hats.
244
00:31:12,127 --> 00:31:15,127
To keep our brains warm.
245
00:31:15,327 --> 00:31:18,327
HoId your tongue.
246
00:31:19,327 --> 00:31:21,726
Our hats.
247
00:31:21,727 --> 00:31:24,727
Return their hats.
248
00:31:30,967 --> 00:31:33,967
Now, gentIemen,
wiII you pIease come to the point?
249
00:31:34,887 --> 00:31:37,606
Sir, we vioIate no man.
250
00:31:37,607 --> 00:31:40,607
We dig upon the commons in peace.
251
00:31:41,247 --> 00:31:44,247
Many IocaI gentIemen and freehoIders
have compIained to the CounciI of State
252
00:31:45,407 --> 00:31:48,407
that you are tumuItuous,
and a danger to the county.
253
00:31:49,767 --> 00:31:52,526
You are cIearIy infringing the Iaws
266
00:32:38,287 --> 00:32:41,287
Let a man work on his own behaIf,
then he'II work hard enough.
267
00:32:42,247 --> 00:32:45,247
But the rich, sir, the Iords and gentry,
they do no work.
268
00:32:45,767 --> 00:32:47,566
They Iive on rents.
269
00:32:47,567 --> 00:32:50,567
But they have to attain their position, damn it,
and hoId it.
270
00:32:51,927 --> 00:32:54,927
And that requires more skiII
than you can Iay cIaim to.
271
00:32:54,967 --> 00:32:57,967
Was the earth made to preserve a few covetous
and proud men to Iive at ease?
272
00:32:59,847 --> 00:33:02,847
To bag and barn up the treasures ofthe earth
from others,
273
00:33:03,007 --> 00:33:06,007
that these shouId beg and starve
in a fruitfuI Iand?
274
00:33:09,207 --> 00:33:12,207
So you wouId seize their property
and own it for yourseIf?
275
00:33:12,887 --> 00:33:15,887
We offer no offence to any, but do carry
ourseIves in Iove and peace toward aII,
276
00:33:18,527 --> 00:33:21,286
having no intent to meddIe with
any man's property,
277
00:33:21,287 --> 00:33:24,287
tiII it be freeIy given by themseIves to us.
278
00:33:24,727 --> 00:33:27,727
The earth, sirs, was made to be
a common treasury for aII.
279
00:33:33,127 --> 00:33:35,566
What do you propose to do?
280
00:33:35,567 --> 00:33:38,567
To earn our bread by the sweat of our brow.
281
00:33:44,247 --> 00:33:46,286
WeII...
282
00:33:46,287 --> 00:33:49,287
strive to preserve the peace.
283
00:33:50,407 --> 00:33:53,407
That is aII I charge you with.
284
00:33:54,727 --> 00:33:56,526
Thank you, sir.
285
00:33:56,527 --> 00:33:59,527
And when the Lord thy God shaII deIiver
mine enemies before thee,
286
00:34:01,287 --> 00:34:04,287
thou shaIt smite them and utterIy destroy them.
287
00:34:05,527 --> 00:34:08,527
Thou shaIt make no covenant with them,
nor show mercy unto them
288
00:34:10,727 --> 00:34:13,526
but thus shaII ye deaI with them.
289
00:34:13,527 --> 00:34:16,527
302
00:38:38,807 --> 00:38:40,646
Some of them have been soldiers
303
00:38:40,647 --> 00:38:43,647
and some countrymen that were always friends
to the Parliaments cause,
304
00:38:44,287 --> 00:38:47,287
by whose hardships and means
you enjoy the creatures aboutyou in peace.
305
00:38:49,287 --> 00:38:52,287
And will you now destroy part of them
that have preserved your lives?
306
00:38:53,647 --> 00:38:55,486
Do not do so.
307
00:38:55,487 --> 00:38:58,487
Be not so besotted with the kingly power.
308
00:38:59,127 --> 00:39:02,127
Hereafter, let not attorneys or lawyers
neatly counsel your money out of your purse,
309
00:39:03,967 --> 00:39:06,967
and stir you up to beat and abuse the Diggers
310
00:39:07,047 --> 00:39:09,846
to make all rational men laugh at your folly,
311
00:39:09,847 --> 00:39:12,806
and condemn you for your bitterness.
312
00:39:12,807 --> 00:39:15,807
lf you have yet so much money,
give it not away to destroy men,
313
00:39:16,407 --> 00:39:19,407
but give it to some of the poor
and bid them go and plant the commons.
314
00:39:21,207 --> 00:39:23,886
This will be your honour and your comfort.
315
00:39:23,887 --> 00:39:26,887
Assure yourselves you never must have
true comfort till you be friends with the poor.
316
00:39:29,687 --> 00:39:32,687
For what would you do if you had not such
labouring men to work for you?
317
00:39:33,927 --> 00:39:36,806
Come on, aII of you.
318
00:39:36,807 --> 00:39:39,807
Put the wood that's any good
for buiIding somewhere.
319
00:39:50,287 --> 00:39:53,287
No man can be rich,
but he must be rich either by his own labours,
320
00:39:54,127 --> 00:39:56,886
or by the labours of other men helping him.
321
00:39:56,887 --> 00:39:59,126
lfa man has no help from his neighbour,
322
00:39:59,127 --> 00:40:02,127
he shall neve rgather an estate
of hundreds and thousands a year.
323
00:40:03,767 --> 00:40:06,767
lf other men help him to work, then are those
riches his neighbours'as well as his.
324
00:40:08,847 --> 00:40:11,847
For they be the fruit of other mens labours
as well as his own.
325
00:40:36,327 --> 00:40:38,646
362
00:43:01,247 --> 00:43:04,166
that men may obey this command.
363
00:43:04,167 --> 00:43:07,167
Blessed is he that giveth and he that receiveth.
364
00:43:07,687 --> 00:43:10,687
If aII were IeveIIed to a IeveI according to your
preaching, it wouId be an end to charity.
365
00:43:14,727 --> 00:43:17,727
The President of the CounciI of State
is much aIarmed with your activities,
366
00:43:18,647 --> 00:43:21,647
and has warned us:
shouId your trespass continue,
367
00:43:21,847 --> 00:43:24,847
we must seek to take IegaI resort against you.
368
00:43:25,567 --> 00:43:28,567
You must understand, we are caIIed,
each of us, to serve in his proper station.
369
00:43:35,327 --> 00:43:38,327
The ministers
who preach up the law ofthe Scriptures
370
00:43:38,567 --> 00:43:41,486
lay claim to heaven after they are dead.
371
00:43:41,487 --> 00:43:44,046
And yet they require their heaven
in this world too,
372
00:43:44,047 --> 00:43:46,166
and grumble mightily against the people
373
00:43:46,167 --> 00:43:49,167
that will not give them
399
00:45:59,767 --> 00:46:02,767
(WhistIes)
400
00:46:37,407 --> 00:46:40,407
My Iord, permit me to suggest
you do not Iisten to their speeches.
401
00:46:41,967 --> 00:46:44,206
You do not trust me, Mr PIatt.
402
00:46:44,207 --> 00:46:46,766
You are a man of great mercy.
403
00:46:46,767 --> 00:46:48,166
And you?
404
00:46:48,167 --> 00:46:51,167
I, sir, obey a sterner Iaw.
405
00:46:54,887 --> 00:46:57,887
Your ExceIIency, this is Thomas Haydon,
a sergeant in your army for seven years.
406
00:46:59,447 --> 00:47:02,006
He was in your ranks
at Marston Moorand Colchester
407
00:47:02,007 --> 00:47:05,007
and holds you in the highest esteem.
408
00:47:06,087 --> 00:47:09,087
Perhaps His ExceIIency wiII honour us
with a visit to our IittIe settIement.
409
00:47:09,647 --> 00:47:11,846
Sir, we are due in HounsIow.
410
00:47:11,847 --> 00:47:14,847
Come, show me round.
411
- Yes, sir.
424
00:48:21,407 --> 00:48:24,407
- Fine-Iooking chiId.
- Thank you, sir.
425
00:48:25,967 --> 00:48:28,967
Perhaps Your ExceIIency
wouId care to taste this.
426
00:48:30,007 --> 00:48:33,007
I hope you put some saIt in it.
427
00:48:44,567 --> 00:48:46,246
OId friend.
428
00:48:46,247 --> 00:48:49,247
- Are you weII?
- Oh, not bad, sir.
429
00:48:49,767 --> 00:48:52,767
I don't do much here. I'm weII Iooked after.
430
00:48:52,807 --> 00:48:55,006
Fine pigs, friend. Where did you get them?
431
00:48:55,007 --> 00:48:58,007
You mustn't ask an oId soIdier
where he gets his pigs from.
432
00:49:01,687 --> 00:49:04,687
- Whose house is this?
- Er...two famiIies.
433
00:49:05,447 --> 00:49:07,206
WeII buiIt.
434
00:49:07,207 --> 00:49:10,207
- Can I see inside?
- PIease.
435
00:49:15,047 --> 00:49:18,047
WeII-buiIt house.
436
00:49:20,767 --> 00:49:23,767
This contagious incendiary is puffed up
with deviIish seIf-Iove and vaingIory.
437
00:49:26,527 --> 00:49:29,527
On the other hand, they carry themseIves civiIIy
and have the report of honest, sober men.
438
00:49:34,087 --> 00:49:37,087
Perhaps the greater viIIains
are the envious inhabitants hereabouts
439
00:49:37,327 --> 00:49:40,327
who pull up the Diggers'barley
before the first green shoots have appeared.
440
00:49:42,727 --> 00:49:45,727
If it be a case for the Iaw, then take it to the Iaw.
441
00:49:46,287 --> 00:49:49,287
I shaII Ieave Captain GIadman in the viIIage
with five troopers.
442
00:49:49,487 --> 00:49:52,487
- You wiII be protected.
- But shaII we be protected?
443
00:49:56,087 --> 00:49:59,087
It is God's Army, Mr WinstanIey.
444
00:49:59,687 --> 00:50:02,687
Did not GeneraI CromweII say so?
445
00:50:25,367 --> 00:50:28,367
(Tune on pipe)
446
00:50:29,527 --> 00:50:31,406
You nobIe Diggers, aII.
447
00:50:31,407 --> 00:50:34,006
461
00:51:07,007 --> 00:51:09,326
And the poor shaII wear the crown
462
00:51:09,327 --> 00:51:12,327
Stand up now, Diggers, aII
463
00:51:13,407 --> 00:51:15,406
To conquer them by Iove
464
00:51:15,407 --> 00:51:17,446
Come in now, come in now
465
00:51:17,447 --> 00:51:20,447
To conquer them by Iove, come in now
466
00:51:21,847 --> 00:51:24,847
To conquer them by Iove,
as it does you behove
467
00:51:26,007 --> 00:51:28,286
For He is king above
468
00:51:28,287 --> 00:51:30,766
No power is Iike His Iove
469
00:51:30,767 --> 00:51:33,767
GIory here, Diggers aII
470
00:51:37,287 --> 00:51:40,287
Parson? It's a boy.
471
00:51:51,047 --> 00:51:54,047
There. That wasn't too bad, was it?
472
00:51:54,247 --> 00:51:57,126
I'm finished.
473
00:51:57,127 --> 00:52:00,127
You need to sIeep.
474
00:52:09,087 --> 00:52:12,087
I wiII Iive on the hiII.
475
00:52:13,767 --> 00:52:16,767
She needs to rest.
476
00:52:53,727 --> 00:52:56,727
You are weIcome.
477
00:53:06,727 --> 00:53:09,727
PIease make room.
478
00:53:28,927 --> 00:53:31,286
Let us give thanks.
479
00:53:31,287 --> 00:53:33,486
Prayers? Prayers?!
480
00:53:33,487 --> 00:53:35,806
The righteous can do no sin.
481
00:53:35,807 --> 00:53:37,886
We are the chosen of God,
482
00:53:37,887 --> 00:53:40,887
so that aII that we do cannot be sin
but righteousness.
483
00:53:42,367 --> 00:53:45,286
The Virgin Mary was but a common whore,
484
00:53:45,287 --> 00:53:48,287
her son a fIeshIy creature, such as we.
485
00:53:49,207 --> 00:53:52,207
This, the HoIy BibIe, has been the cause of aII
the misery, bIoodshed and division in the worId.
486
00:53:54,367 --> 00:53:56,966
- UntiI aII BibIes are burned...
- No, no, no.
487
00:53:56,967 --> 00:53:59,967
'Tis a HoIy BibIe.
488
00:54:00,207 --> 00:54:02,046
- Yippee!
- PIease!
489
00:54:02,047 --> 00:54:05,047
A pack of Iies!
490
00:54:10,647 --> 00:54:13,647
This book beIongs to us.
491
00:54:36,247 --> 00:54:39,247
Ranters, seIf-ended spirits.
492
00:55:29,407 --> 00:55:31,326
Why do you fear us so?
493
00:55:31,327 --> 00:55:33,726
We have nought but Iove for you.
494
00:55:33,727 --> 00:55:36,727
TaIking of Iove is no Iove.
495
00:56:35,047 --> 00:56:37,606
These are gentIe peopIe.
496
00:56:37,607 --> 00:56:40,607
If you wouId stay with us,
pray honour and respect them.
497
00:56:49,407 --> 00:56:52,407
(Baby gurgIes)
498
00:57:04,327 --> 00:57:07,327
Good afternoon, Parson.
499
00:57:10,127 --> 00:57:11,926
Good afternoon, Parson.
500
00:57:11,927 --> 00:57:14,927
Ah. Captain GIadman. Good afternoon.
501
00:57:16,127 --> 00:57:18,166
I was far away.
502
00:57:18,167 --> 00:57:21,006
No further than I wouId wish to be.
503
00:57:21,007 --> 00:57:23,966
My wife - she's given me a son.
I'm very happy.
504
00:57:23,967 --> 00:57:26,006
Ah, the third, Parson?
505
00:57:26,007 --> 00:57:27,926
We've been so bIessed.
506
00:57:27,927 --> 00:57:30,927
Oh, weII, we're aII human, that's what I say.
507
00:57:31,047 --> 00:57:34,047
Mind you, the Papists say
it takes a priest's mind off his job.
508
00:57:35,167 --> 00:57:38,167
(CIears throat)
509
00:57:39,527 --> 00:57:42,527
DoubtIess you have some business with me,
Captain GIadman.
510
00:57:42,807 --> 00:57:45,606
They're cutting wood on Stoke Common.
511
00:57:45,607 --> 00:57:47,646
My wood!
512
00:57:47,647 --> 00:57:50,647
525
00:59:05,487 --> 00:59:07,446
now you are saved,
526
00:59:07,447 --> 00:59:10,447
and rise higher and higher into life and peace
527
00:59:11,247 --> 00:59:14,247
as this manifestation of the Father
increases and spreads within you.
528
00:59:49,807 --> 00:59:52,807
Food!
529
01:00:16,047 --> 01:00:19,047
Right.
530
01:00:23,047 --> 01:00:26,047
Aargh!
531
01:00:26,487 --> 01:00:28,006
- (Cries out)
- Come aIong, now.
532
01:00:28,007 --> 01:00:30,606
- Watch him! Watch him!
- (Shouting)
533
01:00:30,607 --> 01:00:33,607
Watch him!
534
01:00:41,007 --> 01:00:44,007
- (Shouting)
- Get him!
535
01:00:44,407 --> 01:00:47,326
(Boy cries out)
536
01:00:47,327 --> 01:00:50,327
(Laughter)
537
562
01:03:51,127 --> 01:03:54,127
I came to you because in you aIone
I have some hopes of justice.
563
01:03:55,527 --> 01:03:58,527
On two occasions, you have shown us Christian
charity when your advisers urged against it.
564
01:04:01,847 --> 01:04:04,766
It takes a rare and courageous man to do this.
565
01:04:04,767 --> 01:04:07,767
I ask you now to consider not some outdated
Iaw, but reason, equity and justice.
566
01:04:17,167 --> 01:04:19,886
Very weII.
567
01:04:19,887 --> 01:04:22,887
This wiII not happen again. You have my word.
568
01:04:26,727 --> 01:04:29,727
(Thunder rumbIes)
569
01:04:32,887 --> 01:04:35,887
(FIies buzzing)
570
01:04:52,847 --> 01:04:55,847
(CIinking)
571
01:05:03,287 --> 01:05:05,686
(CIinking)
572
01:05:05,687 --> 01:05:08,687
(Carriage trundIes away)
573
01:05:14,487 --> 01:05:17,487
WINSTANLEY: We, Thomas Haydon,
Henry Bickerstaffe and Gerrard Winstanley
574
586
01:06:09,767 --> 01:06:12,767
and he is either undone or weary of his life.
587
01:06:13,407 --> 01:06:16,126
RECORDER:
Octavo die Septembri versu manucaptores

ASSISTANT:

593
01:06:31,287 --> 01:06:34,287
Querens petit venire facias retornabiIe

594
01:06:35,047 --> 01:06:38,047
- We are waiting, sir...
- SiIence!
595
01:06:39,727 --> 01:06:40,566
Waiting?
596
01:06:40,567 --> 01:06:42,886
To know what is Iaid at our charge.
597
01:06:42,887 --> 01:06:44,286
Who is their attorney?
598
01:06:44,287 --> 01:06:45,926
We wiII speak for ourseIves.
599
01:06:45,927 --> 01:06:48,206
Do not waste the time of this court.
600
01:06:48,207 --> 01:06:51,206
Sir, we cannot and wiII not fee an attorney.
601
01:06:51,207 --> 01:06:54,166
We know of no Iawyer
we can trust with the business.
602
01:06:54,167 --> 01:06:57,167
This case cannot proceed
untiI your Iawyer can speak for you.
603
01:06:59,607 --> 01:07:02,607
We desire the DecIaration against us.
604
01:07:03,527 --> 01:07:06,126
We wiII pay for it if necessary.
605
01:07:06,127 --> 01:07:09,127
The cause is not entered.
You wiII return tomorrow with an attorney.
606
01:07:10,967 --> 01:07:13,126
You have not appeared.
607
01:07:13,127 --> 01:07:16,127
(OwIs hoots)
608
01:07:25,447 --> 01:07:28,447
I am not empowered to hear your case
untiI you have a Iawyer to speak for you.
609
01:07:31,687 --> 01:07:34,687
You wiII return in three days.
610
01:07:34,887 --> 01:07:37,887
(Wind whistIes)
611
01:07:43,927 --> 01:07:46,886
Sir, this is the third time
you have summoned us here!
612
01:07:46,887 --> 01:07:49,046
With what funds shouId we fee a Iawyer?
613
01:07:49,047 --> 01:07:50,886
We couId, of course, pay them in barIey
614
01:07:50,887 --> 01:07:53,887
had not those in the pay of Parson PIatt
and Mr Drake severaI times ravaged our crops.
615
01:07:54,887 --> 01:07:57,887
I must repeat to you, as I have endeavoured
to make cIear upon each occasion,
616
01:07:58,487 --> 01:08:01,487
that the court cannot proceed untiI you have
a quaIified Iawyer to speak your case.
617
01:08:02,727 --> 01:08:03,766
Sir!
618
01:08:03,767 --> 01:08:06,767
You may not speak without one
and thus make a mockery of this court.
619
01:08:07,207 --> 01:08:09,166
I wiII not have it.
620
01:08:09,167 --> 01:08:11,926
We shaII proceed to judgment in your absence.
621
01:08:11,927 --> 01:08:14,766
In four passages,
you have gone against your own...
622
01:08:14,767 --> 01:08:16,006
SiIence!
623
01:08:16,007 --> 01:08:19,007
(Commotion)
624
01:08:23,087 --> 01:08:25,526
WINSTANLEY:
Ten pounds damages,
625
01:08:25,527 --> 01:08:28,527
29 shillings and a penny costs.
626
01:08:28,727 --> 01:08:31,727
Enough for a poorman's family
to live on for a year.
627
01:08:36,367 --> 01:08:39,367
(Lowing)
- Oi! Oi, oi!
628
01:08:43,967 --> 01:08:46,086
Oi!
629
01:08:46,087 --> 01:08:49,087
WINSTANLEY:
One moment!
630
01:08:49,487 --> 01:08:52,126
One moment.
631
01:08:52,127 --> 01:08:55,127
I wonder if perhaps
you might take something eIse?
632
01:08:55,287 --> 01:08:57,646
- Who are you?
- WinstanIey.
633
01:08:57,647 --> 01:08:59,646
No. 'Tis your cows we must seize.
634
01:08:59,647 --> 01:09:02,326
647
01:09:49,127 --> 01:09:50,926
And if this be taken from me,
648
01:09:50,927 --> 01:09:53,927
then l'll stand still and see what he will do
with me, foras yet l know not.
649
01:10:08,847 --> 01:10:11,847
RANTER:
And what have we to eat tonight?
650
01:10:12,807 --> 01:10:14,966
(SIurps)
651
01:10:14,967 --> 01:10:17,967
Magnificent repast!
652
01:10:18,087 --> 01:10:20,846
How weII provided for are we!
653
01:10:20,847 --> 01:10:23,847
Gerrard WinstanIey
is a matchIess commissary generaI.
654
01:10:25,487 --> 01:10:27,286
(BowI cIatters)
655
01:10:27,287 --> 01:10:30,287
And where have I been today?
656
01:10:30,487 --> 01:10:33,487
Is your onIy remedy for hunger
to steaI from other poor foIk,
657
01:10:34,007 --> 01:10:36,326
and pIace your comrades in greater periI?
658
01:10:36,327 --> 01:10:38,766
Don't round on me with your hoIy wrath.
659
01:10:38,767 --> 01:10:41,166
(Dripping)
672
01:14:05,047 --> 01:14:08,047
Show me a friendIy face
in this ruffian's haII of heII!
673
01:14:11,807 --> 01:14:14,807
Ah... WiII.
674
01:14:15,087 --> 01:14:18,087
WeII, WinstanIey.
675
01:14:19,367 --> 01:14:21,326
See who's here. WiII Everard!
676
01:14:21,327 --> 01:14:24,327
(Exchange of greetings)
677
01:14:26,247 --> 01:14:29,247
(Woman Iaughs)
678
01:14:31,687 --> 01:14:33,246
You oId...
679
01:14:33,247 --> 01:14:35,166
HAYDON:
Whatever possessed you to leave us?
680
01:14:35,167 --> 01:14:38,167
- (Laughter)
- First things first. I must Ieave again tomorrow.
681
01:14:40,207 --> 01:14:43,207
And now...
682
01:14:46,687 --> 01:14:49,406
(Gasps of shock)
WOMAN: Oh, my Lord.
683
01:14:49,407 --> 01:14:52,407
(Excited murmuring)
- Ooh!
684
01:14:53,247 --> 01:14:55,086
I bring you greetings...
685
01:14:55,087 --> 01:14:56,966
- from the Diggers!
- Diggers?
686
01:14:56,967 --> 01:14:59,806
- From the Diggers at AyIesbury.
(Excited whispering)
687
01:14:59,807 --> 01:15:02,807
From the Diggers of Shrewsbury.
688
01:15:03,447 --> 01:15:06,447
And DunstabIe in Bedfordshire.
689
01:15:09,007 --> 01:15:12,007
- WeIIingborough in Northamptonshire.
WOMAN: Oh!
690
01:15:15,807 --> 01:15:18,246
Bosworth in Leicestershire.
691
01:15:18,247 --> 01:15:21,006
(Excited whispering continues)
692
01:15:21,007 --> 01:15:24,007
Cox HaII in Kent, and Iver in Buckinghamshire.
693
01:15:29,647 --> 01:15:32,647
The fire has spread.
694
01:15:40,047 --> 01:15:43,047
(Distant chopping)
695
01:15:52,807 --> 01:15:55,807
MAN: Gerrard?
696
01:16:09,767 --> 01:16:12,767
709
01:17:43,807 --> 01:17:46,406
others to be ruIed.
710
01:17:46,407 --> 01:17:49,086
That wiII make no earthquake in their ear.
711
01:17:49,087 --> 01:17:52,087
We must go at it as a buII at a cow.
None of this butterfIy taffety.
712
01:17:53,647 --> 01:17:56,647
Perhaps...
713
01:17:58,447 --> 01:18:01,447
If I might...
714
01:18:02,727 --> 01:18:04,766
I feeI you are misIed.
715
01:18:04,767 --> 01:18:07,086
Does not Mr MiIton say...
716
01:18:07,087 --> 01:18:10,087
'What stirs the Englishman sooner to rebellion
717
01:18:10,207 --> 01:18:13,207
than vioIent and heavy hands
upon his goods and purses?'
718
01:18:14,007 --> 01:18:16,086
Have all things common,
719
01:18:16,087 --> 01:18:19,087
or eIse the pIagues of God
wiII rot and consume aII that you have.
720
01:18:21,167 --> 01:18:24,167
DeIiver your money to rogues and cutpurses,
721
01:18:25,567 --> 01:18:28,567
who are ready to starve in pIaguey jaiIs
760
01:22:45,767 --> 01:22:48,606
WINSTANLEY: Under no Iaw
are we justified in forcing shopmen
761
01:22:48,607 --> 01:22:50,286
to give us goods without payment.
762
01:22:50,287 --> 01:22:53,287
Next spring, when our crop fIourishes,
aII wiII be repaid.
763
01:22:53,367 --> 01:22:56,367
What has Parson PIatt preached aII aIong?
764
01:22:56,447 --> 01:22:59,447
That our respect for possession is nothing more
than a cIoak, to be thrown off when it suits us.
765
01:23:01,687 --> 01:23:04,687
We have turned the cheek once too often.
Soon we shaII be without a face.
766
01:23:04,807 --> 01:23:06,806
You are free men.
767
01:23:06,807 --> 01:23:08,606
I say onIy this to you.
768
01:23:08,607 --> 01:23:11,607
Forcible persuasion
is a sin against universal love,
769
01:23:12,087 --> 01:23:15,087
against your famiIies
and against your feIIow Diggers.
770
01:23:15,647 --> 01:23:18,326
Are we to do nothing
but watch our chiIdren sicken and die?
771
01:23:18,327 --> 01:23:21,327
783
01:23:59,927 --> 01:24:01,086
Me too.
784
01:24:01,087 --> 01:24:04,087
You have no wife, you have no son,
you cannot understand.
785
01:24:28,727 --> 01:24:31,727
(Wind howIs)
786
01:25:20,087 --> 01:25:23,087
(Distant beII toIIs)
787
01:25:45,327 --> 01:25:48,126
(Door opens)
788
01:25:48,127 --> 01:25:51,127
(Door sIams shut)
789
01:26:06,447 --> 01:26:09,447
FAIRFAX: The soldiers will have orders
merely to support the sheriff.
790
01:26:12,967 --> 01:26:15,526
What mortaI sin do we commit?
791
01:26:15,527 --> 01:26:17,126
One may search the Scriptures...
792
01:26:17,127 --> 01:26:20,127
Mr WinstanIey, Iet us bring this matter to a head.
793
01:26:20,367 --> 01:26:22,286
If you can make good your action
794
01:26:22,287 --> 01:26:25,287
by the power of the Scriptures,
l will trouble you no more.
795
01:26:25,367 --> 01:26:28,367
I admire tremendousIy.
858
01:35:31,414 --> 01:35:34,414
But today there is an awfuI Iot ofwaste
in commerciaI fiIm production,
859
01:35:36,094 --> 01:35:39,094
which is one ofthe reasons why there's
virtuaIIy no commerciaI fiIm industry Ieft.
860
01:35:40,214 --> 01:35:43,214
Andrew and I did work on a commerciaI picture
not so Iong ago.
861
01:35:44,334 --> 01:35:47,334
An anecdote from that gives you some idea of
the difference between the way we work
862
01:35:48,614 --> 01:35:50,413
and the way the big studios work.
863
01:35:50,414 --> 01:35:53,414
We were asked how we wouId shoot a scene of
some guardsmen outside WeIIington Barracks.
864
01:35:55,334 --> 01:35:57,053
We said instantIy,
865
01:35:57,054 --> 01:36:00,013
'Guardsmen are outside WeIIington Barracks
at 1 1 o'cIock.
866
01:36:00,014 --> 01:36:02,053
Go there and shoot the Iong shots.
867
01:36:02,054 --> 01:36:05,054
For cIose-ups, you use a Iong focus Iens and
you can pIace them against any background.
868
01:36:06,574 --> 01:36:09,574
ApparentIy it wiII bIend beautifuIIy.'
869
905
01:38:17,414 --> 01:38:20,414
Das war die Freiheit, zu der endIich...
906
01:38:21,614 --> 01:38:24,614
When the film was finally complete,
aftereight gruelling years,
907
01:38:25,134 --> 01:38:28,134
they agreed to have it distributed
by UnitedArtists.
908
01:38:29,054 --> 01:38:31,413
We were dazzIed by the idea of United Artists,
909
01:38:31,414 --> 01:38:34,414
with its memories of Mary Pickford
and CharIie ChapIin and DW Griffith,
910
01:38:34,974 --> 01:38:36,973
and thought, 'At Iast, we've made it.'
911
01:38:36,974 --> 01:38:39,974
UnfortunateIy, it is not in the interests of a major
distributor to support IittIe independents Iike us.
912
01:38:41,694 --> 01:38:43,493
Because independent producers,
913
01:38:43,494 --> 01:38:46,494
particuIarIy those who produce their fiIms for
the price ofthe main titIes of most feature fiIms,
914
01:38:47,974 --> 01:38:50,974
are a threat to their existence,
aIbeit a smaII one.
915
01:38:53,254 --> 01:38:56,254
It took them two years before they finaIIy
decided, after an awfuI Iot of badgering from us,
916
01:38:58,134 --> 01:38:59,733
929
01:39:33,854 --> 01:39:36,653
Except one IittIe suggestion.
930
01:39:36,654 --> 01:39:39,654
Somebody said we couId do second unit
on the chariot race of The Viking Queen.
931
01:39:41,894 --> 01:39:44,894
Brownlow did make a little money
out ofwriting a book about theirexperiences,
932
01:39:46,414 --> 01:39:49,414
in the vain hope that ifthere were a next time,
things wouldbe different.
933
01:39:50,334 --> 01:39:53,334
But it was to happen again.
934
01:39:55,254 --> 01:39:58,254
The novel about Gerrard Winstanley and
the Diggers was shown to them by a teacher,
935
01:39:59,814 --> 01:40:01,653
who had acted in It Happened Here 936
01:40:01,654 --> 01:40:03,693
Miles Halliwell.
937
01:40:03,694 --> 01:40:06,293
WeII, the CiviI War period.
938
01:40:06,294 --> 01:40:09,294
It's about a sort of visionary
caIIed Gerrard WinstanIey,
939
01:40:10,054 --> 01:40:13,054
who sees many dispossessed poor peopIe
wandering around,
940
01:40:15,334 --> 01:40:18,334
and feeIs that the common Iands in EngIand
beIong to them,
941
01:40:20,974 --> 01:40:23,974
and that they shouId have the opportunity
of cuItivating them.
942
01:40:25,414 --> 01:40:28,414
(Wood being chopped)
943
01:40:30,774 --> 01:40:33,774
And so he starts a commune on St George's HiII
near Weybridge.
944
01:40:36,894 --> 01:40:39,853
They start cutting trees down
to buiId their houses
945
01:40:39,854 --> 01:40:41,813
and cuItivating crops.
946
01:40:41,814 --> 01:40:44,814
The IocaI Iandowners at first ignore it,
947
01:40:45,974 --> 01:40:48,974
but graduaIIy become more and more aIarmed,
and finaIIy drive them out,
948
01:40:50,574 --> 01:40:53,574
treating them with incredibIe sort of harshness
in doing so.
949
01:40:56,454 --> 01:40:58,253
That's the story.
950
01:40:58,254 --> 01:41:01,254
Knowing nothing about the 1 7th century,
I didn't respond at first to the story.
951
01:41:03,014 --> 01:41:05,773
AIthough one scene
had tremendous atmosphere,
952
01:41:05,774 --> 01:41:08,774
1000
01:46:03,814 --> 01:46:06,814
In one picture, for instance,
he'd forced the extras to wear a vest
1001
01:46:07,574 --> 01:46:10,574
with the cipher ofthe Ruritanian country,
about which he was making the fiIm.
1002
01:46:11,694 --> 01:46:14,694
Even though the vests wouId never be seen,
they were exactIy right,
1003
01:46:15,774 --> 01:46:18,774
and had exactIy the correct army markings
on them.
1004
01:46:20,574 --> 01:46:23,574
His expIanation for this expenditure
was that it made the actors feeI right.
1005
01:46:28,014 --> 01:46:31,014
AIthough we couIdn't possibIe expend
such vast sums as von Stroheim did,
1006
01:46:32,694 --> 01:46:35,694
we tried to foIIow the same path as he did.
1007
01:46:37,254 --> 01:46:40,254
Authenticity is tremendousIy attractive,
because, in a sense, you pIay God.
1008
01:46:42,134 --> 01:46:45,134
You're recreating a period in history so that
wherever you Iook, everything is dead right.
1009
01:46:47,934 --> 01:46:50,293
Togetherthey checked all the locations.
1010
01:46:50,294 --> 01:46:53,294
But St Georges Hill, Weybridge,
the original site ofthe commune,
1011
1023
01:47:44,214 --> 01:47:47,214
He kindIy said that as Iong as we don't buiId
anything within sight ofthe house,
1024
01:47:48,334 --> 01:47:50,333
we couId do what we Iiked on the Iand.
1025
01:47:50,334 --> 01:47:53,334
So we buiIt the commune on our own Iand,
which meant we couId keep an eye on it.
1026
01:47:55,854 --> 01:47:58,854
We didn't have to worry about puIIing it down
and then re-erecting it.
1027
01:48:00,134 --> 01:48:03,134
We just buiIt it and Ieft it there.
1028
01:48:03,574 --> 01:48:06,574
Gerrard Winstanleys original tracts
were written in a cowbarn,
1029
01:48:07,454 --> 01:48:10,454
where he grazed otherpeoples cows
to subsidise the commune.
1030
01:48:12,174 --> 01:48:15,174
Brownlow and Mollo found a barn forhim
100 miles away, which theybought intact,
1031
01:48:16,374 --> 01:48:19,374
and which local schoolboys
helped them reconstruct at Larchfield.
1032
01:48:20,214 --> 01:48:23,214
Then Mollo and Brownlowrevamped it
fora dualpurpose.
1033
01:48:25,654 --> 01:48:28,654
ANDREW: I know on professionaI pictures,
the art director gets a Iist of every singIe set,
1034
01:48:30,734 --> 01:48:32,373
every singIe Iocation.
1035
01:48:32,374 --> 01:48:35,173
He systematicaIIy works his way
around the worId
1036
01:48:35,174 --> 01:48:38,174
untiI he's got aII his Iocations,
he's got aII his sets Iined up.
1037
01:48:39,054 --> 01:48:42,054
Kevin and I don't work that way. ProbabIy
because we're not terribIy good at deIegating
1038
01:48:43,814 --> 01:48:46,814
and so we tend to do everything ourseIves.
1039
01:48:49,334 --> 01:48:52,053
CARMEN MOLLO:
Do you have to do aII the waIIs, Andrew?
1040
01:48:52,054 --> 01:48:54,093
That must have been the bottom one.
1041
01:48:54,094 --> 01:48:56,533
We want to do them aII again, yes.
1042
01:48:56,534 --> 01:48:59,534
We had to remove the weatherboarding
because I used it for a set
1043
01:48:59,974 --> 01:49:02,974
for an advertising photograph.
1044
01:49:03,014 --> 01:49:05,533
Now we're putting it back up again.
1045
01:49:05,534 --> 01:49:07,693
You might say it's an awfuI waste oftime
1046
1070
01:50:34,694 --> 01:50:37,694
The Tower of London.
He took it out in his shopping bag. (Laughs)
1071
01:50:39,294 --> 01:50:42,294
ANDREW: Contrary to most professionaI
fiImmakers,
1072
01:50:44,254 --> 01:50:47,254
I've aIways considered that technicaI advice
is of enormous benefit,
1073
01:50:48,774 --> 01:50:50,413
rather than a hindrance.
1074
01:50:50,414 --> 01:50:53,414
Very earIy on, I decided
that I'd try to recruit experts
1075
01:50:57,254 --> 01:51:00,254
in the particuIar fieIds and period
in which we were making the fiIm.
1076
01:51:03,134 --> 01:51:06,134
The first man that we got in touch with was a
keeper ofthe armoury at the Tower of London,
1077
01:51:08,814 --> 01:51:11,253
caIIed RusseII Robinson.
1078
01:51:11,254 --> 01:51:13,453
Through his good offices
1079
01:51:13,454 --> 01:51:16,454
we managed to actuaIIy borrow originaI armour
from the Tower of London,
1080
01:51:17,214 --> 01:51:18,973
which had never been done before.
1081
01:51:18,974 --> 01:51:21,974
He advised us on the right sort ofweapons
to use,
1082
01:51:23,094 --> 01:51:25,613
and the method in which they were used.
1083
01:51:25,614 --> 01:51:27,973
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
1084
01:51:27,974 --> 01:51:30,974
- Yep.
(BeIIows)
1085
01:51:31,614 --> 01:51:34,614
The Museum of EngIish RuraI Life suppIied us
with a Iot ofthe impIements ofthe period,
1086
01:51:37,334 --> 01:51:40,093
and aIso introduced us to a chap
caIIed BiII Petch,
1087
01:51:40,094 --> 01:51:43,094
who's one ofthe worId's Ieading authorities
on steam pIoughing,
1088
01:51:44,974 --> 01:51:47,974
who became one of our reguIar band
of Diggers,
1089
01:51:48,854 --> 01:51:51,854
and who advised us on
eIementary agricuIturaI techniques.
1090
01:51:59,214 --> 01:52:01,973
WeII, this is a breast pIough.
1091
01:52:01,974 --> 01:52:04,974
But it's not reaIIy used from the breast.
It's used from the stomach.
1092
01:52:08,334 --> 01:52:11,334
Many ofthem have this side cut away.
1093
1117
01:53:55,694 --> 01:53:58,694
Virginia was at first struck by what she thought
was the gIamour offiImmaking.
1118
01:54:00,774 --> 01:54:03,774
It wore off in about 25 minutes fIat
when the reaI hard grind came in.
1119
01:54:07,054 --> 01:54:10,054
However, with Virginia driving me,
because I don't drive,
1120
01:54:11,054 --> 01:54:13,933
and doing the catering on the picture,
1121
01:54:13,934 --> 01:54:16,934
it turned out to be an absoIute godsend.
1122
01:54:17,894 --> 01:54:20,894
lt was the first film experience for Carmen Mollo,
as well.
1123
01:54:21,774 --> 01:54:24,774
ANDREW: Carmen, Iike everybody eIse
on the unit, was a body,
1124
01:54:27,174 --> 01:54:29,373
a pair of hands, and a pair of Iegs
1125
01:54:29,374 --> 01:54:32,374
who was avaiIabIe for any task that might have
to be done at any given moment.
1126
01:54:34,174 --> 01:54:37,174
But she had the added burden
of having to Iook after two smaII chiIdren,
1127
01:54:38,334 --> 01:54:41,334
who aIways wanted to dress up, whether
there was any costumes avaiIabIe or not.
1128
01:54:43,494 --> 01:54:46,494
1152
01:56:22,254 --> 01:56:25,213
We had to pay fuII rates for most things,
1153
01:56:25,214 --> 01:56:27,173
which was an enormous drawback.
1154
01:56:27,174 --> 01:56:30,174
For instance,
we had to pay the going rate for horses
1155
01:56:30,214 --> 01:56:33,214
that anyone eIse wouId pay,
Iike the BBC or MGM.
1156
01:56:33,974 --> 01:56:36,974
Then we had to pay the transportation
ofthose horses.
1157
01:56:39,054 --> 01:56:42,054
When we did the mutiny,
we had to get IocaI horses
1158
01:56:43,134 --> 01:56:46,134
but they had no idea what was in store for them.
1159
01:56:46,814 --> 01:56:48,613
SOLDIER: Port your muskets.
1160
01:56:48,614 --> 01:56:50,773
Prepare to advance.
1161
01:56:50,774 --> 01:56:52,253
Advance!
1162
01:56:52,254 --> 01:56:55,254
(Drumbeats)
1163
01:56:57,294 --> 01:56:59,333
CIose up to your right!
1164
1188
01:58:34,334 --> 01:58:37,053
and the shooting stopped for six weeks.
1189
01:58:37,054 --> 01:58:39,093
ANDREW: One has to be reasonabIy eIastic.
1190
01:58:39,094 --> 01:58:42,094
You can't expect somebody who's working for
you for nothing to give up Iucrative jobs.
1191
01:58:43,934 --> 01:58:46,934
It's onIy by doing the Iucrative jobs
he can afford to work for you for nothing.
1192
01:58:48,374 --> 01:58:51,374
KEVIN: There were times when it seemed
Ernie's professionaI commitments
1193
01:58:52,374 --> 01:58:55,374
were going to compIeteIy destroy
our own scheduIe.
1194
01:58:56,654 --> 01:58:59,654
And we discussed the possibiIity
of repIacing him.
1195
01:59:00,894 --> 01:59:03,894
But it wouId have been impossibIe,
and we knew it was impossibIe then.
1196
01:59:04,454 --> 01:59:07,454
Because in a fiIm which is spread over such
a Iong period, the styIe of photography is vitaI.
1197
01:59:10,134 --> 01:59:13,093
And to change in midstream,
1198
01:59:13,094 --> 01:59:16,094
to imagine that somebody eIse couId achieve
the same resuIts, is wishfuI thinking.
1199
1211
02:00:02,774 --> 02:00:05,453
So we started work on Spotlight.
1212
02:00:05,454 --> 02:00:08,454
And Spotlight is a directory
of aII professionaI actors.
1213
02:00:08,734 --> 02:00:11,734
And we chose the best faces
and began ringing the agents up.
1214
02:00:12,054 --> 02:00:14,093
We were astonished by the reaction we got.
1215
02:00:14,094 --> 02:00:17,094
As soon as they heard that aII we couId pay
professionaI actors was the Equity minimum,
1216
02:00:18,214 --> 02:00:21,214
the phone was sIammed down very rapidIy.
1217
02:00:23,414 --> 02:00:26,414
There was one man we were absoIuteIy
determined to get and that was Jerome WiIIis,
1218
02:00:27,534 --> 02:00:30,534
who we wanted for the part of GeneraI Fairfax.
1219
02:00:51,694 --> 02:00:53,733
then we post-sync it.
1220
02:00:53,734 --> 02:00:56,734
KEVIN: The great advantage
of using a professionaI in this part,
1221
02:00:57,054 --> 02:01:00,054
and particuIarIy a man whose face
was weII-known on teIevision,
1222
02:01:00,414 --> 02:01:03,414
was in the scene
1235
02:01:49,854 --> 02:01:52,854
I mean, they were about six-foot Iong.
They Iooked Iike smaII eIephants.
1236
02:01:53,294 --> 02:01:56,173
I presume they're not bred now,
'cos the meat is very coarse.
1237
02:01:56,174 --> 02:01:59,174
There were breeds of chickens
which no Ionger existed.
1238
02:01:59,414 --> 02:02:02,414
And even the things they made themseIves
Iike the huts,
1239
02:02:03,214 --> 02:02:06,214
the impIements they were aII absoIuteIy authentic.
1240
02:02:06,934 --> 02:02:09,934
I was wearing a costume
which was a faithfuI recreation
1241
02:02:11,134 --> 02:02:14,134
of a costume which stiII exists in a museum,
which Fairfax wore.
1242
02:02:14,814 --> 02:02:16,853
And that - it had an effect on me.
1243
02:02:16,854 --> 02:02:19,854
Maybe it wouIdn't on many peopIe,
but it certainIy affected me very strongIy.
1244
02:02:24,454 --> 02:02:27,454
lt was this effect ofoverall authenticity
1245
02:02:27,774 --> 02:02:30,774
that helped enormously the other
non-professional members ofthe cast,
1246
02:02:31,254 --> 02:02:33,373
most ofwhom hadrarely actedbefore.
1247
02:02:33,374 --> 02:02:35,653
Like Miles Halliwells wife, Alison.
1248
02:02:35,654 --> 02:02:37,693
I have read your book.
1249
02:02:37,694 --> 02:02:40,694
I have read it so often I know it by heart.
1250
02:02:41,734 --> 02:02:44,734
The voice of God speaks in you,
and through you.
1251
02:02:44,934 --> 02:02:47,934
KEVIN:
You can keep the pauses quite Iong,
1252
02:02:48,254 --> 02:02:51,254
because the reactions are going to be
very, very important.
1253
02:02:52,294 --> 02:02:55,294
And then when you get to
'a woman's conscience is her own',
1254
02:02:55,334 --> 02:02:58,334
you're so overwrought
that you turn to avoid WinstanIey's eyes.
1255
02:02:58,694 --> 02:03:00,373
And you Iook out the window.
1256
02:03:00,374 --> 02:03:03,374
That's when we cut to
whatever shots we'II do next.
1257
02:03:03,454 --> 02:03:05,493
COACHMAN: Go on!
(Horse whinnies)
1258
02:03:05,494 --> 02:03:08,494
(Horse puIIing carriage)
1259
02:03:13,374 --> 02:03:16,374
l have readyourbook.
l have read it so often l know itby heart.
1260
02:03:21,654 --> 02:03:24,654
The voice ofGod speaks in you,
and through you.
1261
02:03:29,934 --> 02:03:32,934
You cannot conceive the degree
ofmy suffering.
1262
02:03:41,934 --> 02:03:44,733
There is a favourl must ask ofyou.
1263
02:03:44,734 --> 02:03:47,734
One you cannot deny me before God.
1264
02:03:51,014 --> 02:03:53,013
l shalljoin yourflock.
1265
02:03:53,014 --> 02:03:54,693
l, too, shall dig.
1266
02:03:54,694 --> 02:03:57,694
l am with child, but when...
1267
02:03:59,334 --> 02:04:02,334
Ourlife is hard.
1268
02:04:05,054 --> 02:04:07,773
NARRATOR: Most ofthe Diggers
were recruited locally.
1269
02:04:07,774 --> 02:04:10,774
But some had to come hundreds ofmiles,
weekend after weekend,
1270
02:04:11,334 --> 02:04:13,013
season afterseason.
1271
02:04:13,014 --> 02:04:15,053
Look, this one.
1272
02:04:15,054 --> 02:04:18,054
The camera recorded each stage
ofthe building ofthe communes.
1273
02:04:18,614 --> 02:04:21,253
And they soon began to feel like the originals.
1274
02:04:21,254 --> 02:04:24,254
As soon as the hoIe's a bit deeper,
if you can put that post in...
1275
02:04:25,054 --> 02:04:25,893
Yep.
1276
02:04:25,894 --> 02:04:28,894
And then stamp
and put the earth back and stamp down on it.
1277
02:04:30,174 --> 02:04:33,174
These were started Iast summer
by chiIdren from schooI.
1278
02:04:33,574 --> 02:04:36,574
About a dozen ofthem came over
and cIeared these.
1279
02:04:37,414 --> 02:04:40,414
And this is the beginning ofthe commune
which started anyway in March.
1280
02:04:42,134 --> 02:04:44,413
So we're just a few days short of it.
1281
02:04:44,414 --> 02:04:47,414
March 1 649.
1282
02:04:48,974 --> 02:04:51,974
Cut! You're Iooking at the camera.
1283
02:04:52,894 --> 02:04:55,733
One thing.
Anyone who's not been in a fiIm before...
1284
02:04:55,734 --> 02:04:58,053
Can we just announce this one vitaI fact?
1285
02:04:58,054 --> 02:05:01,054
That whenever you're being fiImed,
never Iook at the camera.
1286
02:05:01,734 --> 02:05:04,734
It's something that is very easy for us to forget
because we're so used to it.
1287
02:05:05,454 --> 02:05:08,454
But if you just remember that.
We'II NG that one.
1288
02:05:09,934 --> 02:05:12,533
- OK, MiIes, whenever you're ready.
- Right.
1289
02:05:12,534 --> 02:05:15,534
The decision which one has to reach between
using amateur actors or professionaIs,
1290
02:05:17,374 --> 02:05:20,374
as far as Kevin and I are concerned,
is primariIy one of appearance.
1291
02:05:21,574 --> 02:05:24,453
We tend to cast the pictures by Iooks
1292
02:05:24,454 --> 02:05:27,454
and it doesn't matter
whether the person is an actor or not.
1293
02:05:30,694 --> 02:05:33,694
1317
02:07:02,854 --> 02:07:05,854
During the course ofthe fiIm, more and more
he came to resembIe this man WinstanIey.
1318
02:07:08,974 --> 02:07:11,974
And the quaIities that I admire so much about
WinstanIey seemed to be refIected in MiIes.
1319
02:07:14,974 --> 02:07:17,974
In one scene, MiIes was missing.
I don't know where he was.
1320
02:07:18,214 --> 02:07:21,133
I think he'd detached himseIftoo far.
1321
02:07:21,134 --> 02:07:23,733
And we put someone eIse in his pIace.
1322
02:07:23,734 --> 02:07:26,734
The scene remained...a motion picture scene.
1323
02:07:27,814 --> 02:07:30,814
- You missed me again!
- (Laughter)
1324
02:07:31,694 --> 02:07:34,373
It's Iucky we're not running for a bus.
1325
02:07:34,374 --> 02:07:37,374
And then MiIes arrived and I toId him
what we'd been doing.
1326
02:07:37,894 --> 02:07:40,894
And gave him the Iine. He said,
'I wouIdn't say that. I wouIdn't aIarm them.'
1327
02:07:44,414 --> 02:07:46,453
And so when he rushed in...
1328
02:07:46,454 --> 02:07:47,173
Action!
1329
02:07:47,174 --> 02:07:48,773
He said very quietIy...
1330
02:07:48,774 --> 02:07:51,774
Go to our pIace of safety. Hurry!
1331
02:07:51,934 --> 02:07:54,573
..which immediateIy converted the whoIe scene.
1332
02:07:54,574 --> 02:07:57,574
It aIso transformed the way peopIe reacted
and it was great.
1333
02:10:00,414 --> 02:10:03,414
Therefore, if somebody says,
'I'd never do that in reaI Iife',
1334
02:10:05,094 --> 02:10:08,094
weII, for God's sake don't Iet him do it,
because he wiII never do that convincingIy.
1335
02:10:12,134 --> 02:10:15,134
A persons innerconvictions
arejust as important as theirlooks
1336
02:10:15,694 --> 02:10:17,733
in making the technique work.
1337
02:10:17,734 --> 02:10:20,734
Especially when Sid Rawle and his squatters
volunteered to play the Ranters,
1338
02:10:21,774 --> 02:10:24,653
a band of 17th-century hippies.
1339
02:10:24,654 --> 02:10:27,654
I thought to myseIf,
'WeII, up around here and ChaIk Farm,
1340
02:10:27,814 --> 02:10:30,814
we've got pIenty of characters
who can pIay Ranters, without even trying.'
1341
02:10:31,934 --> 02:10:34,934
And six of us went down.
1342
02:10:38,934 --> 02:10:41,933
We had a reaIIy good time.
1343
02:10:41,934 --> 02:10:44,934
In so many ways, the modern-day freak/hippie,
caII them what you wiII,
1344
02:10:48,534 --> 02:10:51,534
are very much the counterpart
ofthe oId Ranters.
1345
02:10:53,454 --> 02:10:56,454
The peopIe - the Diggers, their reaction to us
was one of...weII, I won't say hostiIity,
1346
02:11:01,174 --> 02:11:04,174
but, you know,
they were very freaked out by us Ranters,
1347
02:11:06,814 --> 02:11:09,814
you know, arriving there on the set
to take over their fiIm.
1348
02:11:12,854 --> 02:11:15,854
Kevin was aIso in on that. He knew it.
1349
02:11:17,894 --> 02:11:20,894
And so by acting ourseIves,
maybe pIaying it up a IittIe bit,
1350
02:11:22,974 --> 02:11:25,974
we had the effect of getting out ofthem
1351
02:11:26,574 --> 02:11:29,574
the reaction that the Ranters
got out ofthe oId Diggers.
1352
02:11:33,014 --> 02:11:35,373
1365
02:12:13,174 --> 02:12:16,174
especially when trying to master
17th-century dialogue.
1366
02:12:17,014 --> 02:12:19,573
I feeI a reasonabIe fee wouId be two pounds.
1367
02:12:19,574 --> 02:12:22,574
- Three.
- I wiII not quibbIe.
1368
02:12:22,614 --> 02:12:23,973
Right.
1369
02:12:23,974 --> 02:12:25,413
We wiII...
1370
02:12:25,414 --> 02:12:26,533
Cut!
1371
02:12:26,534 --> 02:12:29,534
We got the Iines right. That's the first time
we've ever got aII the Iines right.
1372
02:12:32,334 --> 02:12:35,334
ANDREW: Ifwe used an amateur actor,
we might get the scene in one shot.
1373
02:12:36,694 --> 02:12:39,694
It's possibIe. It has happened.
1374
02:12:40,014 --> 02:12:43,014
Or we might spend two or three days trying
to get one Iine of diaIogue out ofthe way.
1375
02:12:45,654 --> 02:12:48,654
..hundreds of years,
and over the face of haIfthe universe.
1376
02:12:50,574 --> 02:12:53,574
Here is Iand enough
1388
02:13:34,374 --> 02:13:36,093
and they're asked to do it again,
1389
02:13:36,094 --> 02:13:39,094
especiaIIy if he's had to do six or seven takes,
obviousIy finds that extremeIy difficuIt.
1390
02:13:41,414 --> 02:13:43,973
- Turn on the sound.
- AII right!
1391
02:13:43,974 --> 02:13:46,974
(CIapperboard)
1392
02:13:47,454 --> 02:13:50,093
KEVIN:
The most important singIe eIement
1393
02:13:50,094 --> 02:13:53,094
that any person in front of a camera
can bring you is conviction.
1394
02:13:53,734 --> 02:13:56,734
The conviction is kiIIed as soon as he acts.
1395
02:13:56,934 --> 02:13:59,934
And this is the troubIe with the kind offiIm
that Andrew and I Iike to make.
1396
02:14:01,454 --> 02:14:04,454
They are supposed to be experiences
that are happening whiIe you watch them.
1397
02:14:05,814 --> 02:14:08,814
And they are not enacted historicaI pageants.
1398
02:14:10,334 --> 02:14:13,053
If you don't feeI that these peopIe are reaI,
1399
02:14:13,054 --> 02:14:16,054
and even iftheir diaIogue is haIting
1412
02:15:05,734 --> 02:15:08,734
and if you're baIancing cost
against an aesthetic consideration,
1413
02:15:10,534 --> 02:15:12,853
you know, cost wins every time with pros.
1414
02:15:12,854 --> 02:15:15,373
It must do. You're in it to make money.
1415
02:15:15,374 --> 02:15:18,374
But if you're working as Kevin and Andrew work,
then the first consideration is getting it right.
1416
02:15:20,014 --> 02:15:23,014
And that's marveIIous, actuaIIy.
1417
02:15:23,814 --> 02:15:26,814
Right, gentIemen,
wouId you Iine up behind me, pIease?
1418
02:15:27,134 --> 02:15:30,134
Now we're going...
we're going over the hiII, chaps.
1419
02:15:33,214 --> 02:15:36,133
Action! Action!
1420
02:15:36,134 --> 02:15:39,134
(CIapperboard)
1421
02:15:41,134 --> 02:15:43,693
To get itright means the long, tortuous business
1422
02:15:43,694 --> 02:15:46,694
ofkeeping everyones enthusiasm going
month aftermonth,
1423
02:15:47,094 --> 02:15:50,094
with the end only dimly in sight.
1424
1437
02:17:36,534 --> 02:17:39,534
..He has instituted these inequalities...
1438
02:17:48,454 --> 02:17:51,454
(Laughter)
1439
02:17:56,614 --> 02:17:59,614
KEVIN: I don't think we'II resurrect
the British fiIm industry by making fiIms this way,
1440
02:18:00,694 --> 02:18:03,694
aIthough it is surprising
how many remarkabIe independent fiIms
1441
02:18:04,254 --> 02:18:06,093
are being made in this fashion,
1442
02:18:06,094 --> 02:18:09,094
many ofthem through the British FiIm Institute
Production Board.
1443
02:18:09,174 --> 02:18:12,174
But the experience is extraordinary.
1444
02:18:12,574 --> 02:18:14,933
The peopIe one works with are extraordinary.
1445
02:18:14,934 --> 02:18:17,934
And it's given us a tremendous distrust
ofthe waste of so many commerciaI pictures.
1446
02:18:19,814 --> 02:18:22,814
And one exampIe that sticks in my mind
is the spectacuIar that was made in Africa.
1447
02:18:25,014 --> 02:18:27,853
They were bringing
a number oftechnicians back,
1448
02:18:27,854 --> 02:18:30,854
and they aII decided they had to traveI
1473
02:19:58,774 --> 02:20:00,813
That's about it, I think.
1474
02:20:00,814 --> 02:20:03,814
(Piper pIays)
1475
02:20:10,374 --> 02:20:13,374
(Birdsong)
1476
02:20:40,861 --> 02:20:43,861
The very Iast journey
through unfamiIiar streets,
1477
02:20:44,821 --> 02:20:47,821
past St Pancras, departure point for GIasgow,
1478
02:20:47,941 --> 02:20:50,941
bound for the Science Museum, Kensington.
1479
02:20:51,661 --> 02:20:54,660
London is seeing its first tramcar for a decade.
1480
02:20:54,661 --> 02:20:57,661
For, whiIe other cities scrap their trams,
GIasgow buiIt new ones.
1481
02:20:58,381 --> 02:21:01,340
No-one ever thought they wouId go.
1482
02:21:01,341 --> 02:21:02,980
The tramcar, in its heyday,
1483
02:21:02,981 --> 02:21:05,981
was responsibIe for pushing Victorian cities
further and further into the countryside.
1484
02:21:07,781 --> 02:21:10,500
No more ambitious network existed
than in GIasgow,
1485
a method oftransport.
1498
02:22:08,581 --> 02:22:10,620
It's Iosing a way of Iife.
1499
02:22:10,621 --> 02:22:13,621
For the peopIe of GIasgow,
the tram is a symboI ofthe hard years.
1500
02:22:15,461 --> 02:22:18,060
It was one ofthe few amenities
they couId afford,
1501
02:22:18,061 --> 02:22:21,061
and one ofthe few pIeasant memories
they retain.
1502
02:22:21,181 --> 02:22:24,181
Now prosperity chokes the streets
with private cars.
1503
02:22:24,701 --> 02:22:27,701
Chain stores and supermarkets
repIace IocaI industry and the IittIe shops.
1504
02:22:29,221 --> 02:22:32,221
GIasgow enters the 1 960s
at the expense of its character.
1505
02:22:37,701 --> 02:22:40,701
The Corporation
once made its own cheap eIectricity.
1506
02:22:40,781 --> 02:22:43,260
But, Iike everything eIse, running costs went up.
1507
02:22:43,261 --> 02:22:46,261
Then the onsIaught ofthe motorcar
reduced the 40 tram routes to one.
1508
02:22:48,341 --> 02:22:51,341
DieseI and troIIeybuses took over.
1509
02:22:56,941 --> 02:22:58,580
Now it's Friday night.
1510
02:22:58,581 --> 02:23:01,581
The shipyards on the CIyde
are cIosing for the weekend.
1511
02:23:02,221 --> 02:23:05,221
When the workers return,
they'II be traveIIing by bus.
1512
02:23:06,941 --> 02:23:09,820
What was the attraction ofthe tramcar?
1513
02:23:09,821 --> 02:23:12,660
The smooth, straight raiIs
gave a sense of security
1514
02:23:12,661 --> 02:23:15,100
no other vehicIe on the road couId provide.
1515
02:23:15,101 --> 02:23:17,140
A sense of cosiness, too,
1516
02:23:17,141 --> 02:23:20,141
as the passengers rattIed home
in a warm atmosphere of steamed-up windows,
1517
02:23:20,861 --> 02:23:23,861
of damp coats and mackintoshes.
1518
02:23:24,861 --> 02:23:27,861
This feeIing of home
was heightened by the friendIiness ofthe crew.
1519
02:23:28,141 --> 02:23:30,380
Some ofthe drivers were women.
1520
02:23:30,381 --> 02:23:33,220
Many cities recruited women for tram work
in the Great War.
1521
02:23:33,221 --> 02:23:36,221
GIasgow aIone retained them to the end.
1522
02:23:40,621 --> 02:23:43,621
(Roar of engine)
1523
02:23:49,141 --> 02:23:51,180
Trams came into their own at night,
1524
02:23:51,181 --> 02:23:54,020
when conventionaI traffic thinned out.
1525
02:23:54,021 --> 02:23:57,021
This is the time their crews wiII miss the most.
1526
02:24:03,461 --> 02:24:05,780
The fares were among the cheapest
in the worId,
1527
02:24:05,781 --> 02:24:08,500
and you couId traveI an amazing distance
for twopence
1528
02:24:08,501 --> 02:24:11,501
right up to the end.
1529
02:24:11,581 --> 02:24:14,581
One ofthe originaI First War women drivers
returns to the depot for a Iast visit.
1530
02:24:16,781 --> 02:24:19,260
She joined the Corporation in 1 91 6.
1531
02:24:19,261 --> 02:24:22,261
Now 73, she's stiII part of
the tramway community.
1532
02:24:25,661 --> 02:24:28,661
In 1 962, TeIstar was spinning overhead
and on the jukebox turntabIes ofthe worId.
1533
1546
02:27:44,901 --> 02:27:47,620
The badge of GIasgow Corporation Transport.
1547
02:27:47,621 --> 02:27:50,621
Now it's the turn ofthe inspectors
to be inspected.
1548
02:27:52,701 --> 02:27:55,701
The tram enthusiast was not known
in the tram's heyday.
1549
02:27:55,741 --> 02:27:58,741
He onIy attends its funeraI.
1550
02:28:00,381 --> 02:28:03,381
Lined up here are trams dating from 1 91 0.
1551
02:28:04,101 --> 02:28:07,101
For this is the nucIeus ofthe GIasgow
Corporation's Transport Museum.
1552
02:28:11,621 --> 02:28:14,621
Lined up eIsewhere
are trams destined for a different fate.
1553
02:28:15,621 --> 02:28:18,621
The scrap yards cut them down to
singIe-deckers and strip them before burning.
1554
02:28:20,061 --> 02:28:22,300
Not even the metaI is worth preserving.
1555
02:28:22,301 --> 02:28:25,301
(MiIitary-styIe drums)
1556
02:28:26,421 --> 02:28:29,421
(BeII cIangs)
1557
02:29:07,901 --> 02:29:09,980
What was the attraction ofthe tramcar?
1558
02:29:09,981 --> 02:29:12,220
A sense of cosiness
1559
02:29:12,221 --> 02:29:15,221
as the passengers rattIed home
in a warm atmosphere of steamed-up windows,
1560
02:29:16,381 --> 02:29:19,381
of damp coats and mackintoshes.
1561
02:29:20,061 --> 02:29:23,061
And this feeIing of home was heightened
by the friendIiness ofthe crew.
1562
02:29:26,221 --> 02:29:29,221
In the rest room the professionaIs stay aIoof,
disguising their feeIings,
1563
02:29:30,981 --> 02:29:33,981
for they regard themseIves as the eIite
among transport workers.
1564
02:29:34,781 --> 02:29:37,620
They have their own code,
their own set of road signaIs.
1565
02:29:37,621 --> 02:29:40,621
They wear their hats Iike guardsmen
to subtIy distinguish them from mere busmen.
1566
02:29:48,141 --> 02:29:50,260
The women have most to Iose,
1567
02:29:50,261 --> 02:29:53,261
for the Corporation
does not empIoy women bus drivers.
1568
02:29:54,061 --> 02:29:57,020
Tonight wiII bring the end oftheir worId,
1569
02:29:57,021 --> 02:30:00,021
the worId ofthe eIectric car,
