We used to go
to the movies all the time.

:50:05
Once, when I was 11, the movie playing
was The Life of Emile Zola.

:50:10
About the Dreyfus affair.
Great picture.

:50:13
You remember movies,
but you don’t remember your life?

:50:20
Yeah.
:50:23
-Weird, huh?
-It’s unbelievable.

:50:28
In the movie, Zola stood up in court
and accused the French government...

:50:34
...of forfeiting its honor
for wrongly accusing an innocent man.

:50:38
Zola wasn’t a lawyer, of course,
but the way he spoke....

:50:45
I decided right then
that’s what I wanted to be.

:50:48
-Just from that?
-Just? Come on, it was great!

:50:53
"In the presence of this tribunal,
the representative of human justice...

:50:58
...before you, gentlemen of the jury,
before France, before the world...

:51:03
...I swear that Dreyfus is innocent!
:51:06
By all I’ve won, all I’ve written
to spread the spirit of France...

:51:10
...I swear, Dreyfus is innocent."
:51:12
"May all that melt away, may my name
perish if Dreyfus not be innocent."

:51:18
"He is innocent."
:51:22
It’s pretty good stuff, huh?
:51:25
Not bad at all.
:51:31
The sun’s going. Come on.
:51:50
Watch your eyes.
