:12:04
Sometimes it feels
as if my body

:12:07
has been
partially cut out,

:12:09
never grown.
:12:15
On unbearably hot days
when l would sweat,

:12:19
the footage not only
had to be edited out,

:12:23
but physically eradicated.
:12:27
The original footage,
:12:29
the original...
:12:32
...reality,
:12:35
the truth,
:12:38
is now lost to them forever.
:12:44
The future führers
:12:46
must understand,
:12:48
no matter how carefully
you plan

:12:51
or execute
your production,

:12:53
you can never get it
exactly right.

:12:57
But with editing,
:13:01
a black magic...
:13:07
l have edited
the imagination

:13:10
of people not yet born.
:13:12
Flawless speeches,
unflappable will,

:13:15
100,000 cheering citizens,
:13:19
women in tears,
:13:21
and an assailable
fall thundering from the tower.

:13:33
ln a way,
the outtakes, the flaws,

:13:38
these were like the Jews.
:13:45
l never thought of it like that.
