I dag er det Dem, kære kolleger, der har ansvaret for, står for denne årvågenhed.
When an albeit properly informed public fails to come and see one of our films, the authors tend to think that the public is in the wrong.
Det er i sig selv underligt nok, at der i hele det Europa, som De arbejder på, som ved en stiltiende overenskomst kun er ét sprog, der finder generel anvendelse: Engelsk.
You have to assume that all our political leaders, however high up, have spoken badly because no one's really understood them, as the facts bear out. But I am only speaking here of the politicians on my patch.
Selvfølgelig har jeg intet imod et sprog, der har fostret Byron, Shelley og Bernard Shaw, men i denne første konstatering er der alligevel ligesom begyndelsen til en skæv udvikling, som de trusler den brave neger giver udtryk for, selv om han tilsyneladende er fristet af de glasperler, som erobreren tilbyder.
How come that people who are normally incredibly persuasive — Valéry Giscard-d'Estaing, for example, and Jacques Chirac and Laurent Fabius — couldn't be bothered to make clear what their Europe entailed although they spread themselves generously as usual in all the columns of all the papers, and on all the radio and TV channels ?
Under tennisturneringen i Paris begav de enkelte sejrherrer sig ved hver kamps afslutning til et lille studie i omklædningsrummenes nærhed, hvor en reporter havde til opgave at ind fange deres mening. Uanset om de var tyskere, svenskere, argentinere, italienere eller kinesere, svarede de alle på engelsk.
This English which is becoming entrenched — which is being entrenched — in European minds and shovelling every national treasure into the current press of this vague cooperative of yours will, I should cordially point out, unavoidably bring the original cultures to an end.
Hvorefter reporterne igen oversatte til engelsk.
That, in a nutshell, is what I came to tell you today.
Intet er mere nedslående eller farligt.
You know that I am not keen on militarism.
Enhver oversættelse er i sig selv forræderi, men to oversættelser, så kan man tænke sig til resten...
Quite the opposite, in fact. Yet my cultural honesty forces me to side with General de Gaulle — although he was for a Europe of sovereign States, not just his own, but other people's too.
Denne advarsel vil formentlig sige Dem lidt om den vigtighed, som jeg tillægger den europæiske institution, og den respekt, jeg nærer for den, men også om det, vi forventer af den.
With only a little bit of irony, you could have put any speech in any mouth and no one would have noticed the difference — not even me and I'm a specialist.
Selv kan jeg kun nære et inderligt håb derom.
People don't like dangers they can't see.
Et andet emne til overvejelse : Når et i øvrigt velinformeret publikum ikke går hen og ser en af vore film, så har filmfolkene tilbøjelighed til at tro, at det er publikum, der tager fejl.
They don't like threats that are vague and diffuse. They felt, confusedly, that this Europe that was so difficult to explain masked something they couldn't, weren't able to see.
Det er slet ikke sikkert.
And that is not all !
Vi ved alle, at kopiering af en fotokopi medfører en kvalitetsforringelse, på samme måde som en lydoptagelse forringes ved hver efterfølgende kopiering.
I shall say more about the perplexity of the voters.
Det er imidlertid den tyske mesters egne ord, der betyder noget, på samme måde som svenskerens, argentinerens, italienerens eller sovjetrusserens.
The example I have chosen comes from a very dear friend, a Christian — although, there again, I am not keen on clericalism.
Man må tro, at alle vore politiske ledere, uanset hvor højt de måtte være placeret, har udtrykt sig dårligt, da kendsgerningerne beviser, at de næppe er blevet forstået.
No concern with anything spiritual or cultural. The triumph of the spirit of the merchant.
Og jeg taler endda kun om politi kerne fra mit sogn.
I am an atheist and free of any metaphysical concerns and I was very touched, moved even, by the words of my Christian friend.
Hvordan kan det være, at folk, der dog ellers i bemærkelsesværdig grad er i stand til at overbevise, f.eks.
No one doubts that the Europe to come will be a Europe of tradesmen and goods and markets.
Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, Jacques Chirac og Laurent Fabius, ikke har været i stand til at redegøre ordentligt for deres opfattelse af Europa.
No one would even think it was a nuisance if that was all it was ... although there may be some doubt as to the excellence of the transformation in view — and I mean the real improvements that we would be entitled to expect for the people, the citizens.
Det er disse forskellige nationalkulturer, der har affødt den fantastiske europæiske kultur.
It is very odd that throughout this Europe you are working on, one language, English, has become common currency, as it were by tacit agree ment.
Samme engelske sprog, der holder sit indtog og indpodes i europæiske hjerner, og som fylder alle de nationale perler i Deres vage samvirkes nuværende perse — hvorimod jeg høfligst advarer Dem — vil uvægerligt gøre en ende på de oprindelige kulturer. Og dersom europæerne uheldigvis allerede åndeligt befinder sig på denne mellemstation, så kommer disse kulturers
I of course have nothing against the language that gave us Byron and Shelley and Bernard Shaw, but this initial phenomenon contains the seeds of a damaging effect and threats which hard press the unwary speakers of other languages, in spite of the fact that they seem to be attracted and tempted by the glass baubles of the
Men vi har begået uforsigtigheder ved dette århundredes udgang. Ikke ved at frigive den skrækkeligste af alle dæmoner, men ved at rehabilitere den.
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that, of all the religions that exist, it is faith in profit which leads most inexorably and most surely to the worst kind of fanaticism of all.
tilbagetog og definitive forsvinden til at gå meget hurtigt.
It was Montesquieu who said : put the economy at the top and the State is lost.
Det er hovedindholdet af det, som jeg ønskede at sige i dag. Som bekendt er jeg ingen større militærtilhænger, tværtimod.
This is something that our dear boss of bosses cares nothing about — and he cares nothing about Montesquieu either.
Hidtil spredte denne dæmon sin pest, men den skammede sig lidt over sin egen ånde.
All the dangers I have listed would not be so fatal if they fell upon solid national tissue that was still able to generate the relevant antibodies and gain victory over death.
Det var en dæmon, der sneg sig langs murene for at lave sine ulykker i nattens mulm og mørke. Dens ofre foragtede den.
That shows just how much fear and disgust I feel at the mondialist, internationalist and egalitarian theories.
Men nu er selv dens ofre omvendt til dens lov — og jeg tænker selvfølgelig på dæmonen » pro fit «, idet jeg nøje præciserer, at jeg her bruger ordet » profit « i betydningen profitbegær.
I exclude nothing, because I am for the conservation of every sovereign State.
Men det er ikke det hele! Jeg fortsætter min uddybning af vælgeres forvirring. Det eksempel,jeg vælger, har jeg fra en kær ven, en troens mand, til trods for at jeg heller ikke er vild med kirken.
express this other fear, sometimes in the evening when by chance I was watching the television, was to hear France's boss of the bosses.
Se, siger min ven, hvorledes Europa i første række fremtræder: Købmænd og intet andet !
A wonderful moment! You should have heard him, beatifically exalting his unbounded admiration for Japan, which, he says, only gives its citizens one week's holiday a year!
Ingen åndelige eller kulturelle interesser! Merkantilismens sejr!
He didn't yet dare sing the praises of certain countries which have 10-year-olds working clandestinely for a pittance, with no social security of any kind, but he wasn't far off it !
Jeg er ateist, fri for alle metafysiske betragtninger, men min kristne vens ord berørte, ja rørte mig dybt.
Didn't one of Darty's bosses recently say that all French refrigerators were assembled in Hungary ?
Man holder sig skam ikke tilbage! Det er for at holde liv i profitdæmonen, for ikke at tilføje den skade, at flyvemaskinerne rask væk taber en dør, en vingespids eller en bid af halen under flyvningen eller kaster deres passagerer ud i luften i 9 000 m højde — uden faldskærm selvfølgelig — fordi det skorter på vedligeholdelse, som tynger for voldsomt på driften og kostprisen.
There are good people to tell us that even cultural consanguinity weakens and leads to degeneration that only inter-breeding can prevent by regenerating a culture. What these good people fail to say is that not all cross-breeding is good.
Det er for at holde liv i denne profitdæmon, at vi oplever, at tog med 200 km/h fart kører ind i hinanden på stationerne, fordi der af rentabilitetsgrunde, som man siger, er skåret ned på vedligeholdesesmandskabet !
Independently even of the intrinsic value of each cultural ingredient, some mixes are diastrous — for all the parties concerned !
Der er der da heller ingen, der tvivler på, at det fremtidige europa bliver forretningsfolkenes, varer nes og markedernes Europa.
I am a man of culture, so I am used to unleashing demons on screen and stage.
Og det er der vel heller ingen, der ville have noget at indvende imod, hvis det blot indskrænkede sig til det.
And these demons may have their influence. They may have a considerable hold over the planet.
Selv om man kan nære nogen tvivl med hensyn til den forestående forandrings fortræffelighed — jeg mener de virkelige forbedringer, som man med rimelighed kunne gøre sig håb om for mennesket, for samfundsborgeren.
The demon Alcestis, for example, the demon Tartuffe, the demon Figaro, the demons — dressed up even — of Marivaux, the demon Jacques le Fataliste and all of Voltaire's demons — who also engendered the French revolution which we are being told, rather noisily perhaps, all about at the moment.
Det er for at holde liv i profitdæmonen, at man kynisk lader supertankerne bemandet med en hånd fuld udhungrede mennesker fra den tredje verden forlise, så deres indhold af tusinder af tons råolie løber ud og forårsager omfattende og ubodelig skade på fugle, fisk og flora.
But we have been imprudent in these final years of the century, not by unleashing the most fearful of all demons, but by rehabilitating it.
I Indien eksploderer et stort kemisk værk og uddunstningerne derfra vansirer i tusindvis af uskyldige mennesker, hvorefter virksomhedens ledelse skamløst erklærer, at erstatningen til ofrene er billigere end gennemførelse af sikkerhedsforanstaltninger, som kunne have forhindret katastrofen.
There have been Christians in the Lebanon for 2000 years, but we are forced to admit that, after 13 centuries, living alongside the Moslems is still just as tragic and bloody as it was to begin with.
Jeg må i sandhedens interesse sige, at det os hos i Frankrig er socialisterne, der har rehabiliteret profitten!
This is something I deplore for both communities.
Jeg tror, kære kolleger, at det er profittens religion, der af alle religioner er den, der på den mest ubønhørlige og sikre måde fører til den værste af alle fanatismer.
But what is the point of insisting when two centuries of experiment lead to the same bloody explosions because the two are obviously, blindingly incompatible ?
Samfundsborgeren — et ord, der størsteparten af tiden glemmes af menneskerettighedernes supersælgere.
Hitherto, that demon spread its pestilence, but it was a little bit ashamed of its own breath.
For at nære denne frygt har jeg blot behøvet, når jeg tilfældigvis om aftenen ser tv, at lytte til Frankrigs herre og mester.
It was a demon which struck at night and hugged the walls and its victims despised it.
Denne dityrambiske herre lovpriste sin virksomhedsdyrkelse, og prædikede økonomiens førerstilling i forhold til men nesket.
But now, its victims have been converted to its law. The demon I am talking about is the demon profit and what I mean by profit is lucre.
En glædens stund!
But there's no need to worry any more !
De skulle høre ham, lyksalig, sværmerisk udbrede sig om sin næsegruse beundring for Japan, der kun giver sine samfunds borgere en uges årlig ferie! Toppunktet af civilisation for denne gode mand!
It is to maintain the demon profit and keep it unscathed that you see all those doors and bits of wings and tails drop off planes in mid-air or passengers sucked out, parachute-less of course, 9000 metres up, because maintenance would cost too much and push up the running costs too far!
Endnu turde han ikke lovprise de lande, der i dølgsmål lader tiårs børn arbejde for en sulteløn og uden nogen som helst social beskyttelse, men det var lige før!
Islam, unless I am very much mistaken., is only in year 1300 of the Hegira and it will take it another 500 years to generate its Voltaire.
Ej heller var hans beundring fjern for de underudviklede landes arbejdere, der går for en elendig løn!
But this Mohammed Ben Voltaire will get the same admiration and the same gratitude from me — and that is all the ill I wish to certain incompatible people!
Hørte vi ikke for nylig en ledende medarbejder fra firmaet Darty udtale, at alle franske køleskabe blev samlet i Ungarn?
It is to maintain the demon profit that you see trains telescoping at 200 km an hour even at stations, with the maintenance staff cut down to kept the profit margin up.
Montesquieu har skrevet : » Når økonomien sidder i højsædet, er det staten, der gøres til skamme«.
At this point, I should like to talk to you almost confidentially, as if I were pulling up a chair to be closer to a friend so he could hear better.
Men det er vor kære og mester komplet ligeglad med, for han vil blæse på Montesquieu!
And it is to maintain the demon profit that you see gigantic supertankers handled by a handful of hungry recruits from the Third World cynically opening their guts and spilling out thousands of tons of crude oil, provoking the absolute, irredeemable slaughter of birds and fish and plant life!
Jeg er som film- og teatermand vant til at slippe dæmonerne løs på lærredet eller scenen.
I speak English fluently and they wete no more wary about me than they would have been about a dog, one as dumb as an inanimate object.
Disse dæmoner kan øve indflydelse på, ja få betragtelig magt over Jorden. F.eks. dæmonen Alceste, dæmo
At that time, the American companies imported foreign directors to direct original — German, Spanish, French and Italian — versions of their films and I was one of them.
Alle de farer, jeg opremser, ville ikke være så katastrofale, hvis de ramte sunde nationale væv, som
And the truth is that, at home in France, it is the French socialists who have rehabilitated profit!
Det siger noget om den frygt og afsky, som mondialistiske, internationalistiske og andre nivellerende teorier indgyder mig. Men derfor er mine ord ikke diskriminerende.
So I was one of the principal craftsmen, an involuntary one, of course, of this thing, this great invasion — and there were no colonists, no armies and not even a policeman.
Tværtimod.
It was far stronger than that.
Jeg udelukker intet, idet jeg er for bevarelse af alle fædrelande.
For it turned out to be tougher than any gas, this imaginary cloud of euphoria which replaced the aitillery on the screen — the trumps of Uncle Sam.
Som indskudt bemærkning vil jeg sige, at personen mindede forbavsende om Jacques Delors; samme uudgrundelige ansigt helt uden kindben. Men han var derimod en stor skuespiller.
Let me tell you, by they way, that his likeness to Jacques Delors was incredible — the same sphinx's head and no cheekbones — although he was a great artiste.
Han havde ikke brug for noget som helst politisk lurendrejeri for at udfolde sig. Whisky var nok.
No need of any political jiggery-pokery for him to succeed.
Buster Keaton er det eneste gode minde, som jeg har bevaret om den hollywoodske hvepserede, hvori topfigurerne hos Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, som jeg var hos, med overlegen foragt talte om alle de lande i Europa, som de agtede at indtage kulturelt.
Buster Keaton is the only great and beautiful memory I brought back from the rat race of Hollywood where the pundits of MGM, where I was stagnating, used to talk with sovereign disdain of all the countries of Europe where they were aiming at a cultural take-over.
Og med en ganske særlig foragt for Frankrig, hvilket i høj grad smigrede mig.
They were particularly disdainful of France, which I found very flattering.
Gode sjæle fortæller os, at indavl — også kulturel — fører til svækkelse og degenerering, som kun race blanding kan forhindre ved at regenerere en kultur.
With the Germans, they said, we will always get on. Get over the odour of forget-me-nots and all you have to do is toss them a bit of logic, seriously, in an inspired voice.
Samme gode sjæle siger imidlertid intet om, at alle disse raceblandinger ikke er berigende.
But as we saw, my German colleagues were not taken in.
Tyskerne kan vi altid blive enige med, sagde de.
They are still there today, these happy tablets and they are stronger anaesthetics than ever they were.
Når vi er kommet ud over deres »forglemmigej-side«, skal man bare stikke dem en gang logik i en alvorlig og inspireret tone.
Farewell, ancient moons of a whole western culture, magic, proud, sumptuous ... lobotomized!
Men her tog de alvorligt fejl.
And with the Italians, they went on, it will be even easier.
Som vi har set det, lod mine tyske kolleger sig ikke dupere.
The Italians don't believe in anything and they pretend everything.
Og med italienerne, fortsatte de, bliver det endnu lettere.
But with the French, they said, it will be a fight.
De tror ikke på noget disse italienere, og de foregiver hvad som helst.
It will take just one pirouette to bring down Himalayas of logic. We shall have to tape them.
Der har været kristne i Libanon i to årtusinder, men man må konstatere, at samlivet med muhamedanerne fremdeles er lige så tragisk, lige så blodigt som til at begynde med. Og det beklager jeg for begge parters vedkommende.
It is for me, the French film-maker, to remind you here, with such very regrettable associations, that you sit in the House under the emblem — one long known — of one of the most powerful transatlantic film companies, whose emblem, like yours, is the same crown of stars.
Men hvorfor blive ved, når to århundredes forsøg ender med de samme blodige udbrud som følge af en helt indlysende mangel på evne til at leve sammen?
And this American company it is which has just swallowed up the Time group for the modest sum of 12 billion — please excuse me, I mean of course 12 billion dollars !
Derimod sagde de: Med franskmændene bliver det svært.
Between you and me, these insolent big shots didn't say 'rape'.
De kan med et pludseligt meningsskifte gøre det af med et bjerg af logik.
It was something much nastier and particularly hurtful.
Man kan sige, at Voltaire har reddet kristendommen, men det tog os 1 800 år at frembringe en Voltaire!
Thought could have been given to this unhappy resemblance... unless it was deliberate and premonitory !
Mellem os sagt brugte disse uforskammede »hertuger« ikke ordet »vold«, men et mere penetrant og overordentligt smerteligt udtryk.
All these versions of films which had to be entirely filmed from beginning to end a second time cost the companies a fortune and were not, in their eyes, convincing enough.
Alle disse filmversioner, der skulle drejes om fra ende til anden, kostede producenterne formuer, men var i deres øjne ikke tilstrækkeligt overbevisende.
And so, faced with all these threats, at a time when you are in an exceptionally strong position, with the possibility of resistance, far greater resistance than the army, for it is cultural resistance, the only signs amongst you are the signs of laxness, if you don't mind my saying so, which is contemptible and extremely disquieting!
Hvis jeg ikke tager fejl, er muhamedanismen kun nået til år 1300 i sin tidsregning, hedjra'en.
The first dubbed film, with an enormous amount of topspeed dialogue was called 'Dance fools, dance' and starred Joan Crawford and Clark Gable.
Så der skal endnu fem hundrede år til at frembringe en Voltaire. Men denne Mohamed Ben Voltaire vil jeg vise samme beundring og respekt.
So it was going to be done in French and sent off to Paris straight away to try out the effect.
Og andet er det ikke, jeg ønsker for nogle » inkompatibles « vedkommende !
And not surprisingly !
Det var mig, der en skønne dag af Metro-Goldwyn-Mayers allerhøjeste instans fik til opgave at lave verdens første eftersynkroniserede film.
So it now became possible to make all the under developed of Europe swallow these ersatz films and get all the American actors to speak the language of the country that was going to be colonized.
Den første af disse film, » Dance, fools, Dance « havde en meget omfattende, hurtig dialog og var med Joan Crawford og Clark Gable.
Clark Gable could make the Yugoslavs think he was Yugoslavian and the Poles he was Polish.
Den blev lavet i fransk version og sendt til Paris for at få prøvet sin virkning, og med titlen »La pente« blev den en sensation. Og med grund!
Or German, Spanish, Portuguese or Italian.
På dette sted vil jeg gerne tale næsten fortroligt, som når man rykker stolen lidt nærmere hen til sin tilhører for at blive bedre hørt.
The idea of you toying even for an instant with parapets, as Rimbaud put it, to protect our past brilliance, bringing in honourable quotas to safeguard our national creations, is confusing and, what is more, augurs ill for the future.
Jeg vil fortælle Dem om en af mine største oplevelser under min filmkarriere i De Forenede Stater.
We in this House are all heirs of legatees and it is therefore our duty to tolerate neither eclipse of nor attack on our cultural past or future.
Det var næsten i Hollywoods første dage.
A Europe without these protective parapets would, let me wam you, be, in this case, no more than a joke.
På det tidspunkt, hvor general stabene dér planlagde det, de uden omsvøb betegnede som den kommende amerikanske invasion i Europa og Verden.
Look at the troubling apathy which is currently yours and there is no choice but to think that you will have put on a parody of a show whose outcome might yet appear uncertain, but which was, in fact, somewhat hypocritically arranged in advance.
Selv med René Clair, Jacques Feyder, Duvivier og andre i spidsen nyttede det os intet at protestere mod denne skrækkelige svindel, da alle var betaget af metodens magi.
In vain did we — with René Clair in the lead, Jacques Feyder, Duvivier et al. — object to this dreadful trickery.
Jeg taler flydende engelsk, men de tog lige så lidt hensyn til mig, som havde jeg været en hund, en hund så stum som en hvilken som helst genstand.
And when I was asked to carry on, I lost no time in fleeing the country.
For at muliggøre filminvasionen skulle grunden læg ges til den eftersynkronisering af de amerikanske film, vi har nu.
I could feel the fearful, fatal effect it was going to have and I could sense the commotion that it would cause amongst the weary élite, as with painting and sculpture and great music.
Dengang importerede de amerikanske filmproducenter udenlandske instruktører til at lave de direkte — tyske, spanske, franske og italien ske — versioner af deres film, og jeg var én af disse. Filmene blev altså drejet en gang til på de forskellige sprog.
And lastly, without involving the élite, from whom alienation is always difficult and, above all, ruinous, I could sense the effect, a profoundly devastating direct mental effect, it could have on the people, on all peoples.
Fordi De ikke uden videre, som De kunne have gjort det og fremdeles kan gøre det, forhindrede den løsslupne kulturimperialisme, forløberen for økonomisk, socialt og politisk overherredømme, vil man mistænke Dem for at have været besjælet af bagtanker af en ganske anden art.
On 24 May, a train load of — listen to this — 300 French writers and producers was allowed to leave Paris, with not even the smallest of officials to see them off, for Strasbourg, to humbly insist on a modest 60% quota of European works being maintained in the various media — our television, our radio and our cinemas.
