The Red and the White (1967) - full transcript
In 1919, Hungarian Communists aid the Bolsheviks' defeat of Czarists, the Whites. Near the Volga, a monastery and a field hospital are held by one side then the other. Captives are executed or sent running naked into the woods. Neither side has a plan, and characters the camera picks out soon die. A White Cossack officer kills a Hungarian and is executed by his own superiors when he tries to rape a milkmaid. At the hospital, White officers order nurses into the woods, dressed in finery, to waltz. A nurse aids the Reds, then they accuse her of treason for following White orders. Red soldiers walk willingly, singing, into an overwhelming force. War seems chaotic and arbitrary.

THE RED AND THE WHITE
Go over into the water
- Old man, hold my horse
- Yes, my lord
Whose land are you tilling?
You don't own land, do you?
What are you?
Georgian? Armenian?
Hungarian
Get along, then! Back into the river!
Why are you staring?
Think you'll spoil my aim?
My horse
So you're working for the Reds,
are you? We'll see about that
I'll deal with you later
Our powerful attacks have routed
the enemy on all fronts
Cossacks are fighting the Bolsheviks
at Ural'sk
General Denikin is advancing
to the Donets basin
General Yudenich to Pskov,
General Kolchak to the Volga
No quarter for the Bolsheviks!
There is no room for mercy in the
struggle against the Bolsheviks!
We will annihilate them
to the last man!
We fight for our creed
and our saints!
We fight for true freedom
and justice in Russia!
To victory, gentlemen! Victory!
Attention! Eyes left!
Look me in the face, White Guard.
You, too
Look them over, too
Get changed
Stand them against the wall!
Sentry!
Toll the bell for them
Give me a rifle
So you don't want to do it?
But it has to be done
Over to the left!
You've never agreed with me
You only remember disagreements,
but we have agreed sometimes
You're against me
No, but a man can fight and still be
human. You'll never see reason
Take away my rifle
My belt, too
Go over there
Get undressed... and then run!
You can go home
- Name?
- Andr?s Fekete
- In my platoon?
- Only since the company was routed
Why did you join?
A comrade talked to us in the camp
Yes, a comrade came to the camp.
Prison camp No. 2 at Dranitsa
"Boys who wants to go home
to a lovely Hungary?" Was it me?
No, you said the Russian revolution
would bring ours closer
If we fought the officers' army, our
Russian brothers would help our cause
Walking pace
Stand there
Sentry!
You're too sensitive, Colonel
Get undressed. Hurry up
Off with cap, boots, jacket
You, too. Boots off
Get moving
Forwards
Back
You and you... to me
Throw down your boots and jackets
Get a move on! Hurry up! Get going!
You... and you
Finish them off
Back now. March
You go to the gate
Line up. Bring one here
Run. Go on, run
The next
Do you speak Russian?
A little
What are you? Austrian?
Hungarian?
How old?
Forty-six
Go away
Remember, this is our war.
Understand?
The next
Are you Russian?
Shoot
Take it
Now you
Drive them this way! Quickly!
Those who aren't Russian

You aren't Russian? Why do you
interfere in our business?
I'll let you go this once
About turn! Take off your shirts!
I give you 15 minutes to get away
Don't come near us again
or we'll show no mercy
Understand?
Speak up! Do you understand?
Here, Hungarian
- Why are you here?
- I didn't... can I go over there?
Too late now
You are free. Get going,
don't waste your time
Pick up those shirts
I?s no use! Come to me!
Your 15 minutes are up
Come here, you beast. Who are you?
What are you staring at, Tatar-face?
Get him, Hungarian!
That way, Hungarian
Put those buckets down!
Quite a beauty. Come with me
Do you live here? Speak up
Come over here
Are you relatives?
Mother and daughter?
Lost your tongue?
Is there a man in the house?
Are you all dumb?
A man in the house. Don't you
understand Russian?
You're wearing a shirt
Pretty girl, eh?
Take off your shirt
Sava. Finish him off
Come, my beauty, don't be ashamed
Undress her
Face me, my modest one.
Le?s go for a stroll
Take off your shift. Don't be
ashamed, we're in private
Now show me your beauty.
Turn and face me
Wash her first. You women watch,
you might learn something
Kneel
Ensign!
Go down there
Take off your sword
Throw down your belt and pistol
Wha?s your name?
You can go and pray
I, Glazanov, Lieutenant
of the White Guards...
...condemn under martial law...
...a Cossack Ensign for assault
on the civilian population
Load!
Bury him
Come over here!
Come nearer!
Do you know who these men are?
They don't know
I don't know
Throw them in the water
Do we have to throw the Reds in, too?
What did you say?
Stay there
Do any of you speak Russian?
- I do
- Can you walk?
We must record the names of the dead
For their families
I know them
Who is your commander?
All right, you can stay here, but
don't dare speak your own language
Now get them out of the water
Get going
Go back. We'll get the dead out
Come here
Here, if you please
Do you remember your oath?
Repeat the Hippocratic Oath
I swear that as long as I live...
...I shall not dishonour the society
which I now join
Summon the nurses, please
- What are you doing here?
- Please call them
You, too
To the carriages, please
You're very charming, young ladies
Please... waltz
You are at liberty, madam
You may go home
Why don't you fire back, coward?
Get back! You heard what I said!
Step forward those without arms!
What do you think you're doing?
You've no right to shoot them!
We all ran! You, too!
Scoundrel!

He's very ill
Come to the surgery
That way

You needn't...

I want to undress for you
Hide

Go on, I want to look at you
Go away. Aren't you ashamed?
Search
Stop! What are you doing here?
Turn to face me
Can you swim?

Water sprite

Get going!
Listen, Red! What are you?

Don't you understand?
Sing something
Black clouds roll across the sky
Where Hungarian lads
now live and die
Know any more?
To the White Guards I wrote,
in my own hand -
Leave in peace the lovely
Soviet land
But as it seems they don't
take good advice
Our next words go with bullets
to the Whites
What song is that?
Move
Jump in!
I am Staff Captain Tselpanov
of Counter-Intelligence
I am Colonel Kedrov of the Guards
- Which regiment?

You seem to be recovering, Colonel
Don't you wish to rejoin
your regiment?
Are Reds here?
Reds are here
Kindly take your place
All of you down there, please
Kindly step this way
Please separate Reds from Whites
There are no Reds or Whites here,
only patients
Kindly go down to the landing stage
The rest come here
You, come to me
Kindly separate Reds from Whites
The rest go back!
He isn't a Red
He isn't a Red
I'm asking you for the last time -
kindly separate them
Staff Captain! The platoon is ready!
Staff Captain! The nurse
is separating the Reds!
Please come here
Please turn away,
this is no sight for you
The Reds are separated
Your pistol, please
Row to the bank
Throw down your gun and crawl here,
you scoundrel!
All who can walk, fall in!
A fine horse for you, Commander
One won't take us far
- Russian?
- Hungarian
Give it to me
Commander!
I am a Tsarist officer. I and
twelve of my men wish to join you
Are you the twelve?
So you wish to join us?
And you, Colonel, do you want
to join us, too?
Frankly, no
Well, no is no
Right turn! Hands up!
Forward march!
Line up here!
Those who are frightened
can dismiss
You can pick the man to shoot you
Please, all of you go away
She's not guilty, she was forced
Must I order you individually?
No one can be forced into treason
We form two groups. One takes the
woods, the other crosses the Volga
We'll toss
- Heads
- The woods. Pick your men
Hungarians will come with me.
Who is Hungarian?
Hungarians with me. You, too
Kiss me
You kiss well
Afraid of me, aren't you?
You think I'll die soon
I won't die!
You and you... come with me
Across the river!
Across the river! Hide in the rye!
Fall in!
