Enemy (2013)
- Ah! Ah!
- Control. It's all about control. Every dictatorship has one obsession, and that's it. So, in ancient Rome, they gave the people bread and circuses. They kept the populace busy with entertainment. But other dictatorships use other... other strategies to control ideas, the knowledge. How do they do that? They lower education, they limit culture, censor information. They censor any means of individual expression. And it's important to remember this, that this is a pattern that repeats itself throughout history. OK. See you next week. - Hi. - Hi. - OK. How are you? - I'm good. Ah. - See, every di... every dictatorship, uh... There's always one obsession, and that's control. They want to have control over the people. In ancient Rome, they... they gave, uh, bread and circuses. They kept the populace busy with entertainment. In other dictatorships, they have other strategies. To limit information, to limit ideas and knowledge. And how do they do that? They lower education, limit culture, they censor any means of self-expression. But it's important to remember this: this is a... this is a pattern that repeats itself throughout history. - You don't go to the movies, do you? - The movies? - Yeah, are you a movie guy? In your free time, I mean. - I don't know. I don't... I don't... I don't... I don't go out that much. I don't... I don't really like movies. - Oh. - Well, you don't have to go out to enjoy a good flick at home. - That's true. - I usually just rent them, yeah. I think most people don't these days, you know, but, uh, well, that's what I do. - Is there a reason why you're asking me this? - No. - Just 'cause you brought it up, and I thought, you know, maybe you had a recommendation or you saw a movie that you liked and you wanted to tell me about it, or... - Oh, well, sure. I mean, yeah, there's always... always something. I mean... - I could go for something cheerful. - Hmm. Where There's a Will, There's a Way. - That's true. - No, it's a movie. I saw it a little while ago, but, um... yeah, I remember, uh, you know, it was... I liked it. - Mm. Where There's a Will, There's a Way. - Yeah, that's it. Local film. If you... - I'll keep it in mind. - I think I'm drunk. You want to go to bed? - Hmm? - You want to go to bed? - No, I'm gonna finish, um, grading these papers, and then I'll come join you, OK? - Mr. Anderson, my husband will be back- - Your husband just won a heck of a lot of money from me. By the look in his eye, he didn't have an intention to quit. - Ow! Stop! Stop. - OK, OK. OK. What's wrong? - Let me call you tomorrow. - Sorry I'm late. Uh... All right. Last class, we talked about dictatorships, so today we'll start with Hegel. Uh... it was Hegel who said that all the great... greatest world events happen twice, and then Karl Marx added: the first time it was a tragedy; the second time it was a farce. It's, uh, strange to think, uh... Yeah, a lot of the world's thinkers are worried that... that this century will be a... a repetition of the last one. Now, there's... there's an interesting observation. A creative act of memory, to remember something, to remember somebody, is, uh... It's always coloured by emotions... Hmm. I'm looking for, uh, Call Me L8R and Passenger Without a Ticket. Shit. - Anthony? Anthony. Hey! Long time no see. I couldn't tell it was you with that beard. Is that for a movie? - Yeah. - Man, you haven't been around here for ages. - Yeah, I don't know how long it's been. - Six months, I'd say. - Six months or more. Yeah. So, how's everything? - Great. - Yeah. Are you meeting somebody here? 'Cause there's no one around. - No? - No. You know no one comes in on Saturdays. - Oh, that's... Well, I was, um... Yeah, I was... I was, um, supposed to pick up the thing um, that... the... the... for the... for the movie that, um... and I forgot it was Saturday. My head is, like... - You actors are something else. Hold on. Let me see if there's anything for you. - Great. - Yeah, here it is. Look. - Oh, that looks like it's it. Yeah. That's definitely it. That's definitely it. OK. - There you go. All right? - Yeah. - Hey, don't be a stranger. - I won't be. - Good luck with that movie. - Great. I w... Yes. Anthony Claire. 3650 Rathburn Road. - woman: - Uh, good afternoon. I'm call... Um, I'm calling to speak to- - I'm sorry, I think there's been a misunderstanding. I'm calling to speak to Daniel Saint Claire, the- - I'm sorry, I don't understand. My name's not Anthony. No. I... I... I'm calling to speak to Daniel Saint Claire, the actor. Um... if I'm not mistaken, that's Anthony Claire's... uh, name that he uses for, um, the movies, for... for... for... for his work. - OK. I'm sorry to bother you. - What? I... Oh, he doesn't know me. No. OK, I'm gonna... - I'll call back later. - man: - Hello, this is Anthony... A... This is Anthony Claire, isn't it? - Um... uh, I called before. I was talk... I talked to your wife. Crazy. - You're the one. Listen, you call here again, I will call the police- - I, uh... No, no, just... just hear me out. Can you say something again? Can you talk again? That's crazy. That's amazing. Um, your voice is just like mine. Do you hear my voice? Your voice is just like mine. Shit. - Sir, please, please, please, just listen to me for a second. Just listen, OK? Just hear me out. I know this sounds crazy Im sorry I got excited before. When I get excited, I just act a little strange, so just hear me out for a second. I... I... I... I've seen three of your movies, and... and... and you're great, you're great in... you're great in them. We look exactly alike. And I called your wife earlier today, and she said that she thought that it... that I was you, and... I'm just... I'm just... I'm just... I'm confused. And I know this call must be just as confusing for you as it is for me, and I... I just... My name is Adam Bell. I'm a history teacher, and I just think that we should meet. Hey, hey, hey, hey. OK, OK. Listen to me. Never call here again. - Who was that? - It was that same guy. - Well, what did he want? - I don't know. He sounded crazy. Like, he, uh... He sounded like a stalker or something. - A stalker? - Yeah, he said that he was a fan of mine, that he wanted to, uh, meet up or something. What? - Mm-hmm. - No. - Yeah. - You're messing with me. Right? Anthony. - Ah. Do you want to get something to eat? - Who was on the phone? - Helen, the same guy who called before. The same guy. That's who was on the phone. I told you that. Why would I tell you any differently? - Are you lying to me? - I... - You're lying to me. - You're acting crazy. - I'm not crazy. Who was on the phone? - I told you it was a man who was on the phone. - Are you seeing her? - Helen, I don't want to get into this. - Are you seeing her again? - I think I'm gonna get something to eat. Let's go get something to eat, and then - I don't want to get anything. - It was a man! It was a man! What do you think it was? A jealous husband? - Yeah. - I don't want to get into this again, OK? I don't want to get into this. I'm going for a walk. - Yes? That's so strange. I had a feeling that you were gonna call. - It's... it's... it's... uh, uh, you know, just a figure of speech; it's not... - OK. No. OK. - Um... well, see you... see you soon. - Hello. - Hi. - Is everything all right? How many months are you? - Um... ...six. - That's nice. I should be going. I have a class I have to teach, you know. Ah... You never know how your day's gonna turn out. Have a nice day. Hi. It's a scorcher out there. The last 10 minutes of my run, there was a 22-year-old kid or something like that, and he was... he was following me the whole time. Ahh. I'm never gonna beat this kid. And he dropped. Do you think that I should cut my beard off? 'Cause it's been hot. Wait, and why'd you call me earlier? Were you calling me for a reason? Aww! Honey, where are the blueberries? Where are the blueberries? I told you like two days ago. The organic blueberries, not the conventional blueberries. I can't use them in the shoot. What's wrong? I was... I only say it 'cause I read in a magazine that blueberries, the organic blueberries are better... You're gonna tell me what's wrong? - I... I went to... I went to see that guy. - To who? What are you talking about? - The guy on the phone. I went to his work. - Why did you do that? That's dangerous, honey. - I wanted to know. - Are you OK? - He had the same voice. He looks exactly like you. - What do you mean exactly like me? - What's happening? - I... I really don't know what you're talking about. - I think you know. I think you know. - Hello? Huh. I told you. - Show me your hands, man. - Why? - Come on, show me your hands. Maybe we're brothers. - We're not... we're not brothers... we're not brothers. - How do you know? Do you have a... Do you have a scar on... on your chest? Like this one? You do, don't you? - I, uh... - When's your birthday? - This was a bad idea. I think I made a mistake here. Um... I have... I have this. I went to a company that represents you, and they gave that to me - to you. All right? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. - Don't worry, honey. That guy won't be calling here again. Fuck. - There must be some difference. - There isn't. - You cannot be exactly the same. - We are. - Did you take your clothes off in front of him? - No. - OK then. You didn't eat. The last thing you need is to be meeting strange men in hotel rooms. You have enough trouble sticking with one woman, don't you? Here. - I don't like blueberries. - Of course you do. And they're good for you. I am going to pretend I never heard a word of what you just told me. - I just wanted your advice. - You don't want advice. I don't want to hear any more about this. You are my only son. I am your only mother. You have a respectable job, you have a nice apartment, and since we're being frank here, I think you should quit that fantasy being a third-rate movie actor. Eat those. You want some coffee? - I have a question for you. Did you fuck my wife? Did you fuck my wife? Did you sleep with my wife? Did you fuck my wife?! Did you fuck my wife?! That's good. That is fucking good. This is what's gonna happen. You're gonna give me your clothes and your car. I'm gonna take your girlfriend on a little romantic getaway. And tomorrow I'm gonna bring her home. And I'm gonna come back here... bring back all your things, and I'm gonna disappear from your life forever. And then I'll be gone. - What are you doing here? - What the fuck is this place, man? You live here? I have some questions for you. - Please go, or I'll call the police. - Well, go ahead. Call the police. What are you gonna tell them? What are you gonna tell them, man? Why'd you come looking for me? - I don't... I don't know. I don't know. I just... I needed to know. - Needed to know, yeah, OK, but when you called my house, you talked to my wife. Why'd you do that? - She happened to pick up the phone. OK, yeah, but... Can I ask you something? Just man to man? Um... Did you sleep with my wife? - I don't know what you're talking about. - Did you fuck my wife? - This is crazy. - Just answer the question, man. Just answer my fucking question, and then I will leave. - You're fucking crazy. - All right. I'm fucking crazy? I'M FUCKING CRAZY?! I'M FUCKING CRAZY?! You brought my wife into this, man! So I'm gonna bring your girlfriend into the picture as well. You want me out of your life? This is what's gonna happen first. You're gonna give me your clothes and your car, I'm gonna take your girlfriend on a little romantic getaway. I'm gonna bring her back home tomorrow, and then I'm gonna come back here, and I'm gonna bring back all your stuff, and I'm going to disappear from your life forever. Then we will be even. Mr. Claire. Good afternoon. Everything good? - Yeah. I... I just, um... ...uh, forgot my keys. - Is Mrs. Claire not home? Do you want me to open the door for you? - That would be perfect, yeah. - I can't stop thinking about the other night. Can't get it out of my head. I know I shouldn't talk about this, but... ...I'd love to go back. I heard they changed the lock and sent out new keys, but... ...I don't think I'm on the list. I need to go back. - I mean... I'll see what I can do. I mean... I don't know if that's gonna be possible. - Call me if you hear anything. After you. OK, here you go, Mr. Claire. - Thank you. Hello? - Anthony? - Hi. - The light's on. You freaked me out. - Sorry. - What are you doing home? I thought you were at your mom's. - Um, I, uh... I cancelled it. I... - You should have called. I stayed longer at the pool because... 'cause I thought you weren't gonna be home. - Uh... do you need anything? - I'm fine. I'm gonna go to bed. - 'K. Are you sure you don't n... need anything? 'Cause you... I... When you came in and you said that you went to the pool, I just thought maybe that you'd been there for a long time, and you... had to walk home or whatever, and- - Is everything OK? - It's just, you're six months pregnant, so I didn't know... - No, I'm fine. Why don't you come to bed? - OK. - Aren't you gonna take your clothes off? - Yeah. - Did you have a good day at school? - What? - Forget it. - What? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Mary, Mary, Mary. Whoa, whoa. What's wrong? - The ring, the mark on your finger. - What are you talking about? I've always had this. - No. No! Who are you?! Don't touch me! Don't touch me! - What are you talking about? What are you talking about? - Don't touch me! - What are you talking about? - The ring! The mark on your finger! - What's wrong? What's wrong? - I just couldn't sleep. - Yeah, I couldn't sleep either. I'm sorry. - Why are you doing this to me? - What? What am I doing to you? - I want you to stay. - Stop the car. - Stop the car? Stop the car?! I'll stop the fucking car! You want me to stop the car?! Get out! I'm sick of this shit! I can't even talk to you. - Fuck you! - You're behaving like a child! - You're not a man. - I'm not a man? I'm not a man?! I'm not a fucking man?! Get out! Get out of the f- - Sunshine, a high of 24 today. Clear tonight with a low of 13. Here's James with a look at traffic. - The westbound Lake Shore is closed between Bathurst and Strachan as crews clean up debris from a collision that happened early this morning. Police have not released any details at this time, but we do know there was only one vehicle- - I forgot to tell you that your mother called. You should probably call her back. - OK. Helen, did you plan on doing something tonight? - My silent little room is growing dim - 'Cause I think I have to go out. - And the man next door Is saying what a lousy day it's been - Helen? - And the clock on the wall - Helen? - In the room below The girl's crying for her guy again After the lights go out what will I do? After the lights go out, facing the night without you There's a pigeon that's Been sitting on my windowsill all day I guess he's lonely too I wonder if his love has flown away When I get up on my feet I need a cup of coffee anyway Someone called for you But I hung up the phone What could I say? After the lights go out what will I do? After the lights go out, facing the night without you I don't look for her I find her in the shadow of my mind For she's just a girl Whose memory will be wiped away with time Any second now The lamp down the street will show its light And I just can't seem To tear away her kisses from the night After the lights go out what will I do? After the lights go out, facing the night without you Facing the night without you |
