Asshole!

My problems started
when I stopped doing my job
1:18:26
as a progressive intellectual.
1:18:29
A hasty signature for Brazil or Vietnam,
a quick visit to hunger strikers,
1:18:33
a short meeting at the union hall.
1:18:38
I left the party without realizing
that I'd borrowed from them
1:18:42
a way of understanding
my role as an intellectual.
1:18:51
My job is to make films,
1:18:54
to find new forms for new content.

His name is Gilles.
He was born on April 17, 1951.
1:19:03
He's a student
at the Lycée Thiers.
1:19:07
Gilles, they'll say you deserved
to die as an "agitator."
1:19:11
I who fought beside you can find
no more beautiful name to give you.
1:19:17
They'll say that all you knew
was family and school,
1:19:20
and that you learned
about the world from books.
1:19:23
I say your books thrust you into life,
1:19:25
because from them
you learned to unlearn.
1:19:29
At 4:00 on May 3,
you joined forces with life
1:19:33
and carried on your struggle
in the light of day.
1:19:36
At 4:00 today, June 10,
you joined forces with history
1:19:40
and met your death,
leaving us behind.
1:19:43
Don't cry, brother.
We'll carry on!
