Robinson y Viernes en la isla encantada (1973) - full transcript
THE ENCHANTED ISLAND
I looked to the horizon
without hope of salvation...
...I was constantly
fighting to survive...
...in this island,
against all odds...
...far away from civilization...
...I thank God...
...to send me a human being...
... whose I can share my life.
Since Friday's arrive
my life has been so calm...
...that if I wasn't afraid
of savages...
... I won't leave this island.
My little friend.
He started to talk
very clearly.
He knew the name
of every thing...
Every day, he showed me
his simple and tender nature.
I started to love him deeply
since the first day.
I taught him the principles...
...of Catholic religion.
Master, God is powerful
than Devil, isn't he?
So, why he doesn't kill him
to avoid him to do evil?
Master, why God doesn't kill
Devil to stop him?
God doesn't kill when
we offend him with our sins.
He allow us to live
to regret about them...
...and to obtain
His forgiveness.
So, God forgive everybody,
even the Devil?
Can God forgive the Devil?
God is almighty.
So, if God forgive everybody,
then Devil is not bad.
Master!
Master!
A snake!
A snake!
Master!
Master!
Friday spent the whole day
giving thanks to the rifle...
...to save his life and
ask it wouldn't kill him.
And to forgive him like God
had forgiven the Devil.
Walking with Friday
around my kingdom...
... was so funny that
we spent days and nights...
...so happy and delighted
that we couldn't believe...
...that such joy could exist.
Island inhabitants
contemplated our hikes...
...that were necessaries
to save the freedom...
...of this piece of land.
My duty as a governor
was to protect...
...citizen Friday's life
and also the other inhabitants.
We could see
the power of God...
...in the beauty
of the landscape...
...and Their force was with us
in this savage land...
...as if we were in the most
fancy street of England.
We never discussed or
argued about religion...
...Iike we use to do
in the civilize world...
... their doctrines,
structures and laws...
...had not
any importance to us.
I thought it should be the same
for all human king.
We had the most important
guidance to go to Heaven:
God's words.
Thanks to this, we felt
the presence of His spirit...
... that guide us towards
the Truth...
...and made us to live
under the Holy Book precept's.
What could we do
with all the knowledge...
...of the world,
if we were alone...
...in this isolated island,
far away of men?
We built this canoe in order
to follow the river's course...
...that finished at the other
side of the island...
... where, as Friday said...
... we could see his homeland.
We started a dangerous
and glorious adventure...
...in our little boat.
Nevertheless this disaster...
... I was glad that
only the birds and monkeys...
... were the only witness
of this shipwreck.
If this were happened
in York Harbor...
...in front of my countryman...
... I'd preferred to get drown.
We decided to climb
that part of the island...
...because it was
the shorter way to arrive...
... to the other coast.
I remembered that Friday
told me that if our God...
I remembered that Friday
told me that if our God...
...could hear us up
beyond the Sun...
...he must be greater
than his Benamuckee...
... who lived not too far
from them...
...and yet could not hear,
until they climb up...
...to the great Mountains
where he dwelt...
...to speak to him.
Master! There is my nation,
my country!
Master! Master!
There is my country!
My nation!
There it is!
There it is!
Master! There it is!
My nation! My country!
It didn't go!
It didn't go!
Master!
Friday.
Do you want to come back
to your country?
Yes, Master. I'm glad
to go back to my country.
What will you do?
To eat human meat
and to live like a savage?
No. Friday tell them
to live good...
...to pray God,
to eat bread...
...animal meat, milk...
No eat man anymore.
Master! I don't want
to go to my country!
Why?
Because they kill me
and eat me.
I'd prefer to go
to your nation.
They don't eat man.
Yes, Friday.
Yes, my son.
Everyday the island seemed
to me bigger and majestic...
...because in this season
the river-bend's grown up...
...and water's torrent
gave us an amazing show.
In a human selfish...
...I was very proud to be
the owner of this wonders.
I didn't care to take
the long way...
... I wanted that Friday
see the cascade...
... that was in the center
of the island...
... which water had made
more rich his nature...
...surrounded it with
a great variety of plants...
...and different species
of animals.
Here was where I thought
to build my shelter.
I thought a lot about
this project...
...because this place
had a lot of possibilities...
...but when I thought
carefully about it...
...I realized that my house
was near of the sea...
... where I could see
my rescuers...
...nevertheless
the low possibilities...
...that it could happen.
To go to this place
meant to extend my captivity.
The long journey got tired
Friday, who continued...
...over my shoulders.
Master! Snake!
When I saw the serpent,
I realized that Friday...
... was in great danger,
because it was the same kind...
...that bitted one of my goats,
who died few hours later.
Hang on,
I have to extract the poison.
No more, Master!
Please!
No more, master!
I must do it, my son.
I have to cauterize
the wound.
I thought that if the serpent
bitted me instead of Friday...
...I had more chances to survive,
because I was an adult.
We never appreciate
what have...
...until we lost it.
With the same anguish
that a thirsty...
...beg for a glass
of water...
...I begged
for Friday's health.
Fever didn't get down,
on the contrary...
...it increased every moment.
I was ready to die, but
not to see Friday pass away.
I felt how fear invaded body.
Had God forgot me?
Why he didn't hear
my begs and pleas?
Why he wanted to take me off
the only companion I had.
I blasphemed for
the first time in my life.
Even I wanted to call
de Devil...
...I wanted to sell my soul
for Friday's life.
I remembered God...
.
...thank to him
I was still alive...
So, I raised my eyes to Heaven
and prayed with devotion.
I didn't know if I done it
because I loved Friday so much...
...or because I was
so afraid to be alone.
Master...
Friday recovered very fast.
I'm sure
that he would finish...
...all our stock
if he could.
He was a gluttonous kid,
her appetite had no end.
When Friday recovered
completely...
...and after we thank
the Lord, we started...
...to look for a bigger tree,
in order to make...
...a canoe more big
and resistant than the old one.
That one?
No, master.
That's not good.
That one will sank
like the other one.
Come.
Look, Master!
Parapo! Same canoe I have.
Come!
One month after,
we finished the canoe.
I had to accepted that
Friday was right...
...about the tree,
we made a great boat.
I prayed God
that this canoe....
... wouldn't finish like
the other one.
This will no sank!
We can go to you country...
...when we get good wind.
I found two pieces
which appeared pretty good...
...and with these
I went to work...
...and with a great
deal of pains...
...and awkward tedious
stitching...
... we at length made a
three cornered ugly thing...
...Iike what we call
in England...
...a Shoulder of Mutton Sail...
... to go with a boom at bottom.
I had to teach Friday
how to sail on the canoe.
He was amazed about
the way I controlled it...
... with the helm and
how I managed the course...
...and route changing
sails direction.
He was deeply impressed.
Some time later, everything
was familiar for him...
...and he became a great sailor.
I'm pretty sure that
every boy in the world...
... would be delighted
driving our great boat.
I had passed almost
27 years exile in this island...
... and three since I meet Friday.
This day, I celebrated an
anniversary of my shipwreck...
...but I also thank God
that he had mercy with me.
I was convinced that
I won't pass another year...
... in this island.
While I was collecting
our provisions...
...for the journey,
Friday, as we used to do...
... every week,
went to the beach...
... in order
to hunt some turtles.
Master!
Master! Master!
Master! Master!
They... In beach...
They arrive!
They arrive!
They arrive!
Where they had
disembarked last time...
... was not the same
where they arrived...
... when they brought Friday.
If I weren't with him
I would run away...
...to the forest.
But I must encouraged him,
I had to defend...
...my island and
my citizen's life.
It's them!
They'll eat me!
Don't be afraid,
my guns will fright them.
I saw another group
of cannibals...
... who were in the other
side of the island...
...ready to get
a terrible banquet.
I was so disgusted with
their savage practices...
...that I decided to attack
and kill them one by one.
Come, Friday.
We must surprise them...
We must go for the weapons.
When I was running
towards the shelter...
...I thought
what would be easy:
Should we wait until
they find our shelter...
...or should we surprise them
to avoid a reaction...
... of their side?
But what would happen...
...if they react
furiously against us?
We'll have not chance
to survive to their attack.
I decided to use
my whole arsenal.
I gave Friday a gun
and a rifle...
...and I carried the rest
of the weapons on my back.
I'm still anguish that
Friday could be caught...
...and devoured
by his fellow man.
But I was sure that
I was doing the right thing.
I was certain that
God won't leave me alone...
...and I begged Him
to give me the strength...
...to fight and never
let us down on this.
While we approached,
many doubts passed...
...on my mind,
making weak my faith...
...and my resolution.
I wasn't afraid
about my enemies...
... who was naked
and unarmed.
I was superior to them
even if I was alone.
I wondered why I have
this obsession to fight...
...and cover my hands
in blood.
This reflections made me
approach to them...
... very carefully and do
what God inspired me to do...
...and look them to enjoy
his bloody banquet...
...and no interrupt them.
I got petrified
when I realized...
...that their next victim
was a white man.
I stand on end
and I felt the same emotion...
...that I had when I found
human footprints.
-Do exactly what I do.
-Yes, master.
-Are you ready?
-Yes, master.
Fire in the name of God!
When I noticed the man
was alive...
...I felt the blood
running thought my veins...
...and I wished to kill
the other cannibals.
But they were far away.
No!
He thought
I was going to kill him.
Master!
Master!
It's my father!
It's my father!
My father!
He's my father, master!
He's my father!
As soon as I gave my guests
some rest and shelter...
...I would take charge
of their survival.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Calm down.
Get some rest.
I wanted to see and talk
with a white man since ages...
...and now that I have
the chance to do it...
...I asked him
to be calm and quiet.
Friday told me
his father was hungry...
...he maybe thought
we were going to eat...
...the cannibals
that some time before...
...almost devour him.
At the begging he complained
because we didn't kill...
... their fellow man,
but soon...
...he got used
to eat goat beef.
I'm Friday.
He's Master.
He's Father.
And you?
I'm your friend.
Your Friend?
I'll be your friend
forever.
No. You're Friday too
because you arrived...
...in a canoe, like me
and Master saved you, like me.
Yes.
I'm like you
and your father...
...because he saved
the three of us.
My island suddenly
became inhabited...
...and I look myself
rich and with citizens.
Sometimes I made jokes
about being a king...
...but now I really
become one.
Suddenly I realize
my responsibilities...
...and I asked myself:
"What would happen...
...if the savages
came back with help...
...and we couldn't
confront them?
I kept an eye on the coast
where the cannibals came...
...I'm pretty sure
they were going back.
But I also thought
they were afraid...
...about the power
of our weapons...
...and they were convinced
that we are demons...
...or heaven forces
that come to earth...
...to destroy them
and they didn't dare to come.
We lived anguished
for a long time...
We scrutinized the horizon,
it represented before...
...a source of hope
and survivor...
...and now I see it
with fear...
... waiting to look
cannibals' canoes.
Master!
Master!
Master! Master!
We were scared to death
when we saw Friday...
...screaming and running
because we thought...
...he had saw cannibals.
We didn't realize
that he actually fought...
...against the ants
that he had into her trousers!
Despite all those accidents...
... we were always awake...
...ready to fight
against those savage...
...even if we die
in the battle.
My three vassals were
completely loyal to me.
For them, I was her savior
they owed me their lives...
...and they were be ready
to sacrifice it for me.
I'm pretty sure that
any marshal would be proud...
...of their discipline
and obedience.
We tried many
defense strategies...
... to defend ourselves
against our enemies...
...and they were ready
to fight.
But, would they dare
the courage to do it?
Honestly, I expected
a general desertion...
...in that decisive time.
However, after some time
without any sign...
...of cannibals' canoe
I got relax...
...and I started to think
in my trip to the continent...
... where, as Friday's
father said...
...I will be welcome
in his country.
The white man probed me
to be loyal and dependable.
He told me that he,
16 Spaniards and Portuguese...
... who had sunk in an Spanish
ship that they had boarded...
... Rio de la Plata
towards La Habana...
...had arrived to this land,
where cannibals took them...
...as prisoners.
We decided to hunt
a lot of animals...
...in order to get
a big stock of meat...
...because we wanted
to rescue other prisoners...
...and take them to the island,
where they would be safe.
With their help we could make
a bigger and stronger boat...
...in order to arrive
at the civilization.
Friday was the first
to start...
...he hunted little animals.
We decided not to waste
the powder of our weapons...
... so he had a lot
of problems...
...and not so good results.
They were the best option
to bring other prisoners.
Even I knew this trip was
our only chance...
... to get out of this island,
I saw very sad...
...how our two companions
went away of us...
...in our great ship,
which we built...
... with a lot of sacrifice
and effort...
I always thought that
I would be free...
...in that boat,
but faith decided...
...that I have to rest
with Friday in our island...
... the lsland of Despair.
Friday and l
were alone again.
We walked towards
the other archipelago...
...on a strait that I called
Robinson Crusoe's Strait...
...because it remembered me
Moses' walk through Red Sea...
... when guiding his people...
...he listened
God's voice that said:
"Raise your staff
and stretch out...
...your hand over the sea
to divide the water...
...so that the lsraelites
can go...
...through the sea
on dry ground. "
Actually we walked
on a coral barrier...
... that nature had built
in this land.
After 26 years being patient,
waiting for a miracle...
... this days waiting
for the Spanish...
... and Friday's come back
with the shipwrecked people...
... would be the harder of all.
That's why I must had
my mint busy.
I decided to look for some land
where we could seed rice.
It would grow while
we were building our boat...
...and would be a good
stock in our travel.
Master!
Karu, Master!
Karu!
We were surrounded
by those savage beasts...
...and we had to choices:
to die between their jaws...
...or drowned in the swamp.
We founded new visitors
on the island...
...and that made us happy.
All the inhabitants
of the island...
... were curious
about those unexpected...
...elegant
and distinguished guests.
Maybe a cold flow had brought
the penguins...
...and their buddies
just to the island.
Friday was so excited,
just like me...
...it was the first time
that he saw a seal.
Even the giants turtles
came down to see...
... and welcome them.
Some vassals were not
delighted whit them...
...because they had to share
their space.
I waited my messengers
return for 8 days.
I was also afraid that
other wrecked...
... would to take my island
and possessions.
But I'd preferred this
rather to be surprised...
...by a horde of cannibals.
Master, Master!
They arrive!
They are here!
They are here!
Master, Master!
They arrive, master!
They are here, Master!
They are here!
I ran toward the beach
without guns or protection.
I was petrified
when saw a boat...
...that were sailing just
to one mille of the island.
Master. That's not
canoe we wait for.
We can't take risk,
until to know...
...if they are friends or not.
Ready to trim the sails!
Prepare the anchor!
Six degrees to starboard!
I couldn't explain
how shocked I was...
...even I was happy
to see a boat...
...with civilized
and friendly people...
...my joy was so great
to describe it.
However, my instincts
advised me to be wise.
Master...
...those white men,
like you...
...want to eat prisoners,
like savages do.
No, Friday, no!
Yes, Master.
They want to eat them.
They just want to kill them,
but they won't eat them.
I didn't have idea
what happened.
But I was afraid
about those men...
I was waiting to see
how they killed their prisoners.
I was astonished...
...I wanted to have a gun
and rescue the prisoners.
I remembered
when I arrived to the island...
...and I realized my situation.
How afraid I was about it!
How many anguishes I had!
And how I escaped
of the fierce!
In the same way
that I didn't expect...
...the sea brought me
the rest of the ship...
...that gave me supplies,
those men will be free...
... when they thought
everything was lost.
Who are you?
Don't move.
I'm going to help you.
You're really a man!
Not a ghost!
I'm an English man
ready to help you!
Follow me!
Stop!
Freeze!
Tell me who you are.
I'm the captain of that ship.
The crew incited
a riot against me.
They don't want
to kill us...
...so they decided
to leave us in this island.
This is my second abroad.
And this man is a passenger.
Do the other men bring guns?
Just two of them,
they started the insurrection.
Do you think that
if we caught them...
...could we take
control of the crew?
I think they will obey me.
We must do it fast.
Surprise will be
our best ally.
Stop!
Stop!
Or I shoot you!
-Mercy, captain! Be mercy!
-You, coward!
Captain forgive him
whit just one condition:
That they regret about
their treason...
...and swear to help him
to arrive to Jamaica...
... where they had come.
I accepted just
if they were tied...
...during their stay
in the island.
I was very proud about
how the captain admired...
...my fortification.
It was, despite of all
a great residence...
...even a splendid castle!
And they didn't know
that I also had...
...Iike the most part
of kings...
...a country house.
That is the signal
to call the boat.
When they saw that
their men didn't answer...
...their call, they decided
to come and look for them.
Bring a boat!
They were seven armed men.
The three men on the stern
was loyal to me.
Maybe fear forced them
to participate in the riot.
The boatswain caused
all this.
The rest of the crew
are a bunch of idiots...
...and cowards who
didn't dare to face him!
Sailors seemed
surprised with that silence.
They're going back
to the ship!
They are capable
to let his comrades down!
If they go, we're lost!
Jonathan!
Sidney!
Jonathan!
Sidney!
Alan!
If they shouted to call
their comrades...
...we could surprise them
with their guns discharged.
It's is a good way
to catch them...
...without fight.
I thought it was
a great idea...
...and we approached
in order to surprise them...
...after the discharge.
But things didn't happen
like that...
... we were quiet
for a long time...
-... we didn't know what to do.
-Alan!
Erick!
We must stay quiet
and motionless.
Hello!
Hello!
If they move,
then the snake bite him...
...and we didn't have
an antidote against his poison.
If any of us move back
we made noise...
...and they could discover us.
When I saw
them approaching us...
...I were ready to shoot
to defend myself...
...and Friday's life.
When I saw them went back
to the beach...
...I was afraid they'd decided
go back to the ship.
I was talking with
the captain and suddenly...
...I had a great idea
to stop that wretched.
Here!
Hello!
Here!
Hello!
Here!
Here! Here!
Here!
Surrender, captain!
You're lost!
Surrender, captain!
It's the best for you!
Surrender, captain!
It's the best for you!
Now I'm the boss!
When I heard those words
I wanted to attack him...
...because I couldn't stand
that one man came...
...to give me orders,
I was the governor...
...the master and commander
of my island.
Surrender, captain!
You're surrounded!
Surrender!
Freeze!
You're surrounded!
Surrender!
I promise you
to respect your lives!
Surrender!
Everyone will have shelter...
...and I won't execute you,
if the Governor wanted it!
I must confess in that
moment the captain...
...seemed to me a very
sympathetic man...
...when I heard him
to accept me as a governor...
...and master of the island.
So I thought it was my duty
to bring peace to my land.
Don't dare you to move!
I command you to surrender.
You're surrounded by my men.
As the English
governor of the island...
...I forgive their lives,
they promised loyalty...
...to the captain
and promised me to help him...
... to take the control
of the boat...
...I thought it was our
chance to leave the island.
I considered that Friday
and I must rest...
... while the captain
and his men...
...take the ship again
and waiting for them.
Hello, there!
Give us a rope!
What happened?
Why did you take so long?
I'll tell you later.
-Freeze!
-Freeze!
Freeze!
Don't move!
Freeze!
Go to prow!
Two...
Three!
Four!
Five!
Six!
Seven canon shoots
was the signal of their succeed.
I had the hunch my freedom
was near and Friday...
... was with me to share it.
He loved me like a father
and I love him like a son.
I, Robinson Crusoe,
as governor...
...and master of this island
their rivers and seas...
...promise you...
...that all your rights
will be respected...
...if you promise
to care, serve and protect...
...all the governor's
properties in his absent.
That's all.
Dear Governor, friend
and savior...
...your properties
are on the ship....
...which belongs to you,
because I owe you my life...
...and is ready to weigh anchor.
I almost fainted to realize
that my freedom was so near.
So I had to say
goodbye to my island.
Are you happy
to be rescued...
...and go with me
to my country...
...where you'll find
civilized people and freedom?
Yes, I'm happy because
I go with my Master...
...but I'm sad because
when my father come back...
...I won't be there.
I also was very sad,
because I realize...
...that I won't find
my freedom leaving the island...
...but I lost it.
It was December 19, 1686.
But I promised Friday
that we would back someday...
...because I'd never forgot
all the things that I passed...
...all the adventures
and misadventures that I lived...
...through 27 years
living in that island.
The lsland of Despair.
I looked to the horizon
without hope of salvation...
...I was constantly
fighting to survive...
...in this island,
against all odds...
...far away from civilization...
...I thank God...
...to send me a human being...
... whose I can share my life.
Since Friday's arrive
my life has been so calm...
...that if I wasn't afraid
of savages...
... I won't leave this island.
My little friend.
He started to talk
very clearly.
He knew the name
of every thing...
Every day, he showed me
his simple and tender nature.
I started to love him deeply
since the first day.
I taught him the principles...
...of Catholic religion.
Master, God is powerful
than Devil, isn't he?
So, why he doesn't kill him
to avoid him to do evil?
Master, why God doesn't kill
Devil to stop him?
God doesn't kill when
we offend him with our sins.
He allow us to live
to regret about them...
...and to obtain
His forgiveness.
So, God forgive everybody,
even the Devil?
Can God forgive the Devil?
God is almighty.
So, if God forgive everybody,
then Devil is not bad.
Master!
Master!
A snake!
A snake!
Master!
Master!
Friday spent the whole day
giving thanks to the rifle...
...to save his life and
ask it wouldn't kill him.
And to forgive him like God
had forgiven the Devil.
Walking with Friday
around my kingdom...
... was so funny that
we spent days and nights...
...so happy and delighted
that we couldn't believe...
...that such joy could exist.
Island inhabitants
contemplated our hikes...
...that were necessaries
to save the freedom...
...of this piece of land.
My duty as a governor
was to protect...
...citizen Friday's life
and also the other inhabitants.
We could see
the power of God...
...in the beauty
of the landscape...
...and Their force was with us
in this savage land...
...as if we were in the most
fancy street of England.
We never discussed or
argued about religion...
...Iike we use to do
in the civilize world...
... their doctrines,
structures and laws...
...had not
any importance to us.
I thought it should be the same
for all human king.
We had the most important
guidance to go to Heaven:
God's words.
Thanks to this, we felt
the presence of His spirit...
... that guide us towards
the Truth...
...and made us to live
under the Holy Book precept's.
What could we do
with all the knowledge...
...of the world,
if we were alone...
...in this isolated island,
far away of men?
We built this canoe in order
to follow the river's course...
...that finished at the other
side of the island...
... where, as Friday said...
... we could see his homeland.
We started a dangerous
and glorious adventure...
...in our little boat.
Nevertheless this disaster...
... I was glad that
only the birds and monkeys...
... were the only witness
of this shipwreck.
If this were happened
in York Harbor...
...in front of my countryman...
... I'd preferred to get drown.
We decided to climb
that part of the island...
...because it was
the shorter way to arrive...
... to the other coast.
I remembered that Friday
told me that if our God...
I remembered that Friday
told me that if our God...
...could hear us up
beyond the Sun...
...he must be greater
than his Benamuckee...
... who lived not too far
from them...
...and yet could not hear,
until they climb up...
...to the great Mountains
where he dwelt...
...to speak to him.
Master! There is my nation,
my country!
Master! Master!
There is my country!
My nation!
There it is!
There it is!
Master! There it is!
My nation! My country!
It didn't go!
It didn't go!
Master!
Friday.
Do you want to come back
to your country?
Yes, Master. I'm glad
to go back to my country.
What will you do?
To eat human meat
and to live like a savage?
No. Friday tell them
to live good...
...to pray God,
to eat bread...
...animal meat, milk...
No eat man anymore.
Master! I don't want
to go to my country!
Why?
Because they kill me
and eat me.
I'd prefer to go
to your nation.
They don't eat man.
Yes, Friday.
Yes, my son.
Everyday the island seemed
to me bigger and majestic...
...because in this season
the river-bend's grown up...
...and water's torrent
gave us an amazing show.
In a human selfish...
...I was very proud to be
the owner of this wonders.
I didn't care to take
the long way...
... I wanted that Friday
see the cascade...
... that was in the center
of the island...
... which water had made
more rich his nature...
...surrounded it with
a great variety of plants...
...and different species
of animals.
Here was where I thought
to build my shelter.
I thought a lot about
this project...
...because this place
had a lot of possibilities...
...but when I thought
carefully about it...
...I realized that my house
was near of the sea...
... where I could see
my rescuers...
...nevertheless
the low possibilities...
...that it could happen.
To go to this place
meant to extend my captivity.
The long journey got tired
Friday, who continued...
...over my shoulders.
Master! Snake!
When I saw the serpent,
I realized that Friday...
... was in great danger,
because it was the same kind...
...that bitted one of my goats,
who died few hours later.
Hang on,
I have to extract the poison.
No more, Master!
Please!
No more, master!
I must do it, my son.
I have to cauterize
the wound.
I thought that if the serpent
bitted me instead of Friday...
...I had more chances to survive,
because I was an adult.
We never appreciate
what have...
...until we lost it.
With the same anguish
that a thirsty...
...beg for a glass
of water...
...I begged
for Friday's health.
Fever didn't get down,
on the contrary...
...it increased every moment.
I was ready to die, but
not to see Friday pass away.
I felt how fear invaded body.
Had God forgot me?
Why he didn't hear
my begs and pleas?
Why he wanted to take me off
the only companion I had.
I blasphemed for
the first time in my life.
Even I wanted to call
de Devil...
...I wanted to sell my soul
for Friday's life.
I remembered God...
.
...thank to him
I was still alive...
So, I raised my eyes to Heaven
and prayed with devotion.
I didn't know if I done it
because I loved Friday so much...
...or because I was
so afraid to be alone.
Master...
Friday recovered very fast.
I'm sure
that he would finish...
...all our stock
if he could.
He was a gluttonous kid,
her appetite had no end.
When Friday recovered
completely...
...and after we thank
the Lord, we started...
...to look for a bigger tree,
in order to make...
...a canoe more big
and resistant than the old one.
That one?
No, master.
That's not good.
That one will sank
like the other one.
Come.
Look, Master!
Parapo! Same canoe I have.
Come!
One month after,
we finished the canoe.
I had to accepted that
Friday was right...
...about the tree,
we made a great boat.
I prayed God
that this canoe....
... wouldn't finish like
the other one.
This will no sank!
We can go to you country...
...when we get good wind.
I found two pieces
which appeared pretty good...
...and with these
I went to work...
...and with a great
deal of pains...
...and awkward tedious
stitching...
... we at length made a
three cornered ugly thing...
...Iike what we call
in England...
...a Shoulder of Mutton Sail...
... to go with a boom at bottom.
I had to teach Friday
how to sail on the canoe.
He was amazed about
the way I controlled it...
... with the helm and
how I managed the course...
...and route changing
sails direction.
He was deeply impressed.
Some time later, everything
was familiar for him...
...and he became a great sailor.
I'm pretty sure that
every boy in the world...
... would be delighted
driving our great boat.
I had passed almost
27 years exile in this island...
... and three since I meet Friday.
This day, I celebrated an
anniversary of my shipwreck...
...but I also thank God
that he had mercy with me.
I was convinced that
I won't pass another year...
... in this island.
While I was collecting
our provisions...
...for the journey,
Friday, as we used to do...
... every week,
went to the beach...
... in order
to hunt some turtles.
Master!
Master! Master!
Master! Master!
They... In beach...
They arrive!
They arrive!
They arrive!
Where they had
disembarked last time...
... was not the same
where they arrived...
... when they brought Friday.
If I weren't with him
I would run away...
...to the forest.
But I must encouraged him,
I had to defend...
...my island and
my citizen's life.
It's them!
They'll eat me!
Don't be afraid,
my guns will fright them.
I saw another group
of cannibals...
... who were in the other
side of the island...
...ready to get
a terrible banquet.
I was so disgusted with
their savage practices...
...that I decided to attack
and kill them one by one.
Come, Friday.
We must surprise them...
We must go for the weapons.
When I was running
towards the shelter...
...I thought
what would be easy:
Should we wait until
they find our shelter...
...or should we surprise them
to avoid a reaction...
... of their side?
But what would happen...
...if they react
furiously against us?
We'll have not chance
to survive to their attack.
I decided to use
my whole arsenal.
I gave Friday a gun
and a rifle...
...and I carried the rest
of the weapons on my back.
I'm still anguish that
Friday could be caught...
...and devoured
by his fellow man.
But I was sure that
I was doing the right thing.
I was certain that
God won't leave me alone...
...and I begged Him
to give me the strength...
...to fight and never
let us down on this.
While we approached,
many doubts passed...
...on my mind,
making weak my faith...
...and my resolution.
I wasn't afraid
about my enemies...
... who was naked
and unarmed.
I was superior to them
even if I was alone.
I wondered why I have
this obsession to fight...
...and cover my hands
in blood.
This reflections made me
approach to them...
... very carefully and do
what God inspired me to do...
...and look them to enjoy
his bloody banquet...
...and no interrupt them.
I got petrified
when I realized...
...that their next victim
was a white man.
I stand on end
and I felt the same emotion...
...that I had when I found
human footprints.
-Do exactly what I do.
-Yes, master.
-Are you ready?
-Yes, master.
Fire in the name of God!
When I noticed the man
was alive...
...I felt the blood
running thought my veins...
...and I wished to kill
the other cannibals.
But they were far away.
No!
He thought
I was going to kill him.
Master!
Master!
It's my father!
It's my father!
My father!
He's my father, master!
He's my father!
As soon as I gave my guests
some rest and shelter...
...I would take charge
of their survival.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Calm down.
Get some rest.
I wanted to see and talk
with a white man since ages...
...and now that I have
the chance to do it...
...I asked him
to be calm and quiet.
Friday told me
his father was hungry...
...he maybe thought
we were going to eat...
...the cannibals
that some time before...
...almost devour him.
At the begging he complained
because we didn't kill...
... their fellow man,
but soon...
...he got used
to eat goat beef.
I'm Friday.
He's Master.
He's Father.
And you?
I'm your friend.
Your Friend?
I'll be your friend
forever.
No. You're Friday too
because you arrived...
...in a canoe, like me
and Master saved you, like me.
Yes.
I'm like you
and your father...
...because he saved
the three of us.
My island suddenly
became inhabited...
...and I look myself
rich and with citizens.
Sometimes I made jokes
about being a king...
...but now I really
become one.
Suddenly I realize
my responsibilities...
...and I asked myself:
"What would happen...
...if the savages
came back with help...
...and we couldn't
confront them?
I kept an eye on the coast
where the cannibals came...
...I'm pretty sure
they were going back.
But I also thought
they were afraid...
...about the power
of our weapons...
...and they were convinced
that we are demons...
...or heaven forces
that come to earth...
...to destroy them
and they didn't dare to come.
We lived anguished
for a long time...
We scrutinized the horizon,
it represented before...
...a source of hope
and survivor...
...and now I see it
with fear...
... waiting to look
cannibals' canoes.
Master!
Master!
Master! Master!
We were scared to death
when we saw Friday...
...screaming and running
because we thought...
...he had saw cannibals.
We didn't realize
that he actually fought...
...against the ants
that he had into her trousers!
Despite all those accidents...
... we were always awake...
...ready to fight
against those savage...
...even if we die
in the battle.
My three vassals were
completely loyal to me.
For them, I was her savior
they owed me their lives...
...and they were be ready
to sacrifice it for me.
I'm pretty sure that
any marshal would be proud...
...of their discipline
and obedience.
We tried many
defense strategies...
... to defend ourselves
against our enemies...
...and they were ready
to fight.
But, would they dare
the courage to do it?
Honestly, I expected
a general desertion...
...in that decisive time.
However, after some time
without any sign...
...of cannibals' canoe
I got relax...
...and I started to think
in my trip to the continent...
... where, as Friday's
father said...
...I will be welcome
in his country.
The white man probed me
to be loyal and dependable.
He told me that he,
16 Spaniards and Portuguese...
... who had sunk in an Spanish
ship that they had boarded...
... Rio de la Plata
towards La Habana...
...had arrived to this land,
where cannibals took them...
...as prisoners.
We decided to hunt
a lot of animals...
...in order to get
a big stock of meat...
...because we wanted
to rescue other prisoners...
...and take them to the island,
where they would be safe.
With their help we could make
a bigger and stronger boat...
...in order to arrive
at the civilization.
Friday was the first
to start...
...he hunted little animals.
We decided not to waste
the powder of our weapons...
... so he had a lot
of problems...
...and not so good results.
They were the best option
to bring other prisoners.
Even I knew this trip was
our only chance...
... to get out of this island,
I saw very sad...
...how our two companions
went away of us...
...in our great ship,
which we built...
... with a lot of sacrifice
and effort...
I always thought that
I would be free...
...in that boat,
but faith decided...
...that I have to rest
with Friday in our island...
... the lsland of Despair.
Friday and l
were alone again.
We walked towards
the other archipelago...
...on a strait that I called
Robinson Crusoe's Strait...
...because it remembered me
Moses' walk through Red Sea...
... when guiding his people...
...he listened
God's voice that said:
"Raise your staff
and stretch out...
...your hand over the sea
to divide the water...
...so that the lsraelites
can go...
...through the sea
on dry ground. "
Actually we walked
on a coral barrier...
... that nature had built
in this land.
After 26 years being patient,
waiting for a miracle...
... this days waiting
for the Spanish...
... and Friday's come back
with the shipwrecked people...
... would be the harder of all.
That's why I must had
my mint busy.
I decided to look for some land
where we could seed rice.
It would grow while
we were building our boat...
...and would be a good
stock in our travel.
Master!
Karu, Master!
Karu!
We were surrounded
by those savage beasts...
...and we had to choices:
to die between their jaws...
...or drowned in the swamp.
We founded new visitors
on the island...
...and that made us happy.
All the inhabitants
of the island...
... were curious
about those unexpected...
...elegant
and distinguished guests.
Maybe a cold flow had brought
the penguins...
...and their buddies
just to the island.
Friday was so excited,
just like me...
...it was the first time
that he saw a seal.
Even the giants turtles
came down to see...
... and welcome them.
Some vassals were not
delighted whit them...
...because they had to share
their space.
I waited my messengers
return for 8 days.
I was also afraid that
other wrecked...
... would to take my island
and possessions.
But I'd preferred this
rather to be surprised...
...by a horde of cannibals.
Master, Master!
They arrive!
They are here!
They are here!
Master, Master!
They arrive, master!
They are here, Master!
They are here!
I ran toward the beach
without guns or protection.
I was petrified
when saw a boat...
...that were sailing just
to one mille of the island.
Master. That's not
canoe we wait for.
We can't take risk,
until to know...
...if they are friends or not.
Ready to trim the sails!
Prepare the anchor!
Six degrees to starboard!
I couldn't explain
how shocked I was...
...even I was happy
to see a boat...
...with civilized
and friendly people...
...my joy was so great
to describe it.
However, my instincts
advised me to be wise.
Master...
...those white men,
like you...
...want to eat prisoners,
like savages do.
No, Friday, no!
Yes, Master.
They want to eat them.
They just want to kill them,
but they won't eat them.
I didn't have idea
what happened.
But I was afraid
about those men...
I was waiting to see
how they killed their prisoners.
I was astonished...
...I wanted to have a gun
and rescue the prisoners.
I remembered
when I arrived to the island...
...and I realized my situation.
How afraid I was about it!
How many anguishes I had!
And how I escaped
of the fierce!
In the same way
that I didn't expect...
...the sea brought me
the rest of the ship...
...that gave me supplies,
those men will be free...
... when they thought
everything was lost.
Who are you?
Don't move.
I'm going to help you.
You're really a man!
Not a ghost!
I'm an English man
ready to help you!
Follow me!
Stop!
Freeze!
Tell me who you are.
I'm the captain of that ship.
The crew incited
a riot against me.
They don't want
to kill us...
...so they decided
to leave us in this island.
This is my second abroad.
And this man is a passenger.
Do the other men bring guns?
Just two of them,
they started the insurrection.
Do you think that
if we caught them...
...could we take
control of the crew?
I think they will obey me.
We must do it fast.
Surprise will be
our best ally.
Stop!
Stop!
Or I shoot you!
-Mercy, captain! Be mercy!
-You, coward!
Captain forgive him
whit just one condition:
That they regret about
their treason...
...and swear to help him
to arrive to Jamaica...
... where they had come.
I accepted just
if they were tied...
...during their stay
in the island.
I was very proud about
how the captain admired...
...my fortification.
It was, despite of all
a great residence...
...even a splendid castle!
And they didn't know
that I also had...
...Iike the most part
of kings...
...a country house.
That is the signal
to call the boat.
When they saw that
their men didn't answer...
...their call, they decided
to come and look for them.
Bring a boat!
They were seven armed men.
The three men on the stern
was loyal to me.
Maybe fear forced them
to participate in the riot.
The boatswain caused
all this.
The rest of the crew
are a bunch of idiots...
...and cowards who
didn't dare to face him!
Sailors seemed
surprised with that silence.
They're going back
to the ship!
They are capable
to let his comrades down!
If they go, we're lost!
Jonathan!
Sidney!
Jonathan!
Sidney!
Alan!
If they shouted to call
their comrades...
...we could surprise them
with their guns discharged.
It's is a good way
to catch them...
...without fight.
I thought it was
a great idea...
...and we approached
in order to surprise them...
...after the discharge.
But things didn't happen
like that...
... we were quiet
for a long time...
-... we didn't know what to do.
-Alan!
Erick!
We must stay quiet
and motionless.
Hello!
Hello!
If they move,
then the snake bite him...
...and we didn't have
an antidote against his poison.
If any of us move back
we made noise...
...and they could discover us.
When I saw
them approaching us...
...I were ready to shoot
to defend myself...
...and Friday's life.
When I saw them went back
to the beach...
...I was afraid they'd decided
go back to the ship.
I was talking with
the captain and suddenly...
...I had a great idea
to stop that wretched.
Here!
Hello!
Here!
Hello!
Here!
Here! Here!
Here!
Surrender, captain!
You're lost!
Surrender, captain!
It's the best for you!
Surrender, captain!
It's the best for you!
Now I'm the boss!
When I heard those words
I wanted to attack him...
...because I couldn't stand
that one man came...
...to give me orders,
I was the governor...
...the master and commander
of my island.
Surrender, captain!
You're surrounded!
Surrender!
Freeze!
You're surrounded!
Surrender!
I promise you
to respect your lives!
Surrender!
Everyone will have shelter...
...and I won't execute you,
if the Governor wanted it!
I must confess in that
moment the captain...
...seemed to me a very
sympathetic man...
...when I heard him
to accept me as a governor...
...and master of the island.
So I thought it was my duty
to bring peace to my land.
Don't dare you to move!
I command you to surrender.
You're surrounded by my men.
As the English
governor of the island...
...I forgive their lives,
they promised loyalty...
...to the captain
and promised me to help him...
... to take the control
of the boat...
...I thought it was our
chance to leave the island.
I considered that Friday
and I must rest...
... while the captain
and his men...
...take the ship again
and waiting for them.
Hello, there!
Give us a rope!
What happened?
Why did you take so long?
I'll tell you later.
-Freeze!
-Freeze!
Freeze!
Don't move!
Freeze!
Go to prow!
Two...
Three!
Four!
Five!
Six!
Seven canon shoots
was the signal of their succeed.
I had the hunch my freedom
was near and Friday...
... was with me to share it.
He loved me like a father
and I love him like a son.
I, Robinson Crusoe,
as governor...
...and master of this island
their rivers and seas...
...promise you...
...that all your rights
will be respected...
...if you promise
to care, serve and protect...
...all the governor's
properties in his absent.
That's all.
Dear Governor, friend
and savior...
...your properties
are on the ship....
...which belongs to you,
because I owe you my life...
...and is ready to weigh anchor.
I almost fainted to realize
that my freedom was so near.
So I had to say
goodbye to my island.
Are you happy
to be rescued...
...and go with me
to my country...
...where you'll find
civilized people and freedom?
Yes, I'm happy because
I go with my Master...
...but I'm sad because
when my father come back...
...I won't be there.
I also was very sad,
because I realize...
...that I won't find
my freedom leaving the island...
...but I lost it.
It was December 19, 1686.
But I promised Friday
that we would back someday...
...because I'd never forgot
all the things that I passed...
...all the adventures
and misadventures that I lived...
...through 27 years
living in that island.
The lsland of Despair.
