Leolo (1992)-eng Subtitles

00:02:01,621 --> 00:02:05,This is my place
in the Mile-end neighborhood

00:02:05,625 --> 00:02:09,in Montreal, Canada.

00:02:21,641 --> 00:02:25,Everybody thinks
I'm French Canadian.

00:02:30,650 --> 00:02:34,Because I dream,
that is not what I **.

00:02:35,655 --> 00:02:39,Because I dream,
that is not what I **.

00:02:43,663 --> 00:02:46,Those who trust only
their own truth,

00:02:46,666 --> 00:02:50,call me Leo Lozeau.

00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:23,They say he is my father,

00:03:23,703 --> 00:03:26,but I know I'm not his son.

00:03:26,706 --> 00:03:29,Because this man is crazy

00:03:29,709 --> 00:03:31,and because I ** not.

00:03:31,711 --> 00:03:35,Because I dream, I ** not.

00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:43,SOMEWHERE IN A VALLEY
IN SICILY.

00:03:58,738 --> 00:04:01,Because he was partly hidden,

00:04:01,741 --> 00:04:05,I never saw the face
of my real father.

00:04:05,745 --> 00:04:07,What are you doing
to my tomatoes?

00:04:07,747 --> 00:04:10,I'm giving life
to your f***g tomatoes!

00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:13,Stop it, a***e,
you're gonna ruin them!

00:04:13,753 --> 00:04:16,Who gives a s***t?

00:04:16,756 --> 00:04:20,This load
is going to America.

00:04:24,764 --> 00:04:28,A FEW DAYS LATER, IN AMERICA.

00:05:30,830 --> 00:05:32,Faced with my mother's panic,

00:05:32,832 --> 00:05:36,the doctor didn't dare tell her
she'd been impregnated

00:05:36,836 --> 00:05:40,by a contaminated tomato.

00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:44,Since that dream, I've demanded
to be called Leolo Lozone.

00:05:47,847 --> 00:05:51,No one has the right to say
I'm not Italian.

00:05:51,851 --> 00:05:55,Italy is too beautiful
to belong only to the Italians.

00:06:03,863 --> 00:06:07,Between my room and Sicily,
there are 6 889 kilometers.

00:06:09,869 --> 00:06:13,Between my room
and Bianca's place,

00:06:13,873 --> 00:06:16,there are 5,8 meters.

00:06:16,876 --> 00:06:19,And yet...

00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:23,she's so much farther away
from me.

00:06:24,884 --> 00:06:27,Bianca, my love...

00:06:27,887 --> 00:06:31,It only takes three words
to write: Bianca, my love.

00:06:34,894 --> 00:06:38,I took the shortest way.

00:07:26,946 --> 00:07:29,Leo! Go to bed!

00:07:29,949 --> 00:07:31,"Leolo!"

00:07:31,951 --> 00:07:34,"Leolo Lozone!"

00:07:34,954 --> 00:07:37,My name is Leolo!

00:07:37,957 --> 00:07:39,Shuddup, bozo!
Shut the f***g door.

00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:43,It's freezing.

00:08:33,012 --> 00:08:37,I don't try to remember
what happens in a book.

00:08:39,018 --> 00:08:42,All I ask of a book...

00:08:42,021 --> 00:08:45,is to give me energy
and courage...

00:08:45,024 --> 00:08:49,to tell me there's more
to life than I can take...

00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:54,to remind me
of the need to act.

00:09:02,041 --> 00:09:05,It was the only book
in the house.

00:09:05,044 --> 00:09:09,I never wondered
how it g***t there.

00:09:11,050 --> 00:09:13,It was thick.

00:09:13,052 --> 00:09:16,The words were pushed together

00:09:16,055 --> 00:09:20,and required enormous effort
and concentration

00:09:20,059 --> 00:09:22,to yield their secret.

00:09:22,061 --> 00:09:26,At home, I never saw
anybody read or write.

00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:33,Television and billboards
cluttered my brain.

00:09:33,072 --> 00:09:37,At the beginning, I read
the underlined passages

00:09:37,076 --> 00:09:41,without really understanding.

00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,I remember wanting to give up

00:09:43,082 --> 00:09:47,because there were no pictures.

00:09:48,087 --> 00:09:51,I find my only real joy
in solitude.

00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:54,Solitude is my castle.

00:09:54,093 --> 00:09:57,That's where I have my chair,
my table, my bed,

00:09:57,096 --> 00:10:01,my breeze and my sun.

00:10:02,101 --> 00:10:05,I sit in exile.

00:10:05,104 --> 00:10:09,I sit in fake land.

00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:13,Because I dream, I ** not.

00:10:16,115 --> 00:10:20,Because I dream, I ** not.

00:10:24,123 --> 00:10:28,I had started writing down
everything that crossed my mind.

00:10:28,127 --> 00:10:32,My family had become characters
in a fiction.

00:10:32,131 --> 00:10:36,And I spoke of them
as if they were strangers.

00:11:04,163 --> 00:11:07,As far back as I remember,

00:11:07,166 --> 00:11:09,it was the smells and the light

00:11:09,168 --> 00:11:13,that solidified
my first memories.

00:11:14,173 --> 00:11:18,My grandmother had convinced
my father

00:11:18,177 --> 00:11:22,a s***t a day
kept the doctor away.

00:11:35,194 --> 00:11:37,Don't cry, my darling.

00:11:37,196 --> 00:11:39,Do like mama.

00:11:39,198 --> 00:11:43,Push, Leo.

00:11:44,203 --> 00:11:48,Push, my love.

00:11:49,208 --> 00:11:51,"As far back as I remember

00:11:51,210 --> 00:11:53,it was the smells
and the light

00:11:53,212 --> 00:11:57,that solidified
my first memories.

00:11:57,216 --> 00:12:00,My grandmother had
convinced my father

00:12:00,219 --> 00:12:04,a s***t a day
kept the doctor away."

00:12:17,236 --> 00:12:19,So, every Friday,

00:12:19,238 --> 00:12:22,we g***t a laxative
shock treatment

00:12:22,241 --> 00:12:26,to purify us from all the
diseases of this world.

00:13:29,308 --> 00:13:33,Leo!

00:14:12,351 --> 00:14:14,Come, Leo, come to Daddy.

00:14:14,353 --> 00:14:18,Come, my boy, it won't hurt.

00:14:18,357 --> 00:14:22,S***t had become
a family obsession.

00:14:24,363 --> 00:14:28,As far back as I can remember,

00:14:28,367 --> 00:14:31,there was a rat in the bathtub.

00:14:31,370 --> 00:14:35,And then, one night,
there was also a turkey...

00:14:36,375 --> 00:14:40,that my mother had won
at the movie theater.

00:14:40,379 --> 00:14:43,It was fat and filthy.

00:14:43,382 --> 00:14:47,Its remaining feathers
were damp and stinky.

00:15:03,402 --> 00:15:05,Don't cry, my darling.

00:15:05,404 --> 00:15:07,Do like mama.

00:15:07,406 --> 00:15:09,Push.

00:15:09,408 --> 00:15:11,Push.

00:15:11,410 --> 00:15:15,Push, my love.

00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,Don't cry, my darling.
Do like mama.

00:15:47,446 --> 00:15:51,Do like mama.

00:15:53,452 --> 00:15:55,Don't cry, my darling.

00:15:55,454 --> 00:15:59,Do like mama.

00:16:34,493 --> 00:16:38,He was the worm tamer.

00:16:45,504 --> 00:16:49,The tamer spent his nights digging
in the garbage of the world.

00:16:52,511 --> 00:16:56,Only letters and photographs
interested him.

00:17:04,523 --> 00:17:08,He carried every smile,
every glance,

00:17:09,528 --> 00:17:13,every word of love
every separation...

00:17:13,532 --> 00:17:17,as if it were his own story.

00:17:33,552 --> 00:17:36,The tamer believes
that images and words

00:17:36,555 --> 00:17:40,must mingle with the ashes
of the worms to be reborn

00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,in the imaginations of men.

00:17:45,564 --> 00:17:48,You have to dream, Leolo.

00:17:48,567 --> 00:17:52,You have to dream.

00:17:55,574 --> 00:17:57,It took me a long time

00:17:57,576 --> 00:18:00,to understand he was the
reincarnation of Don Quixote.

00:18:00,579 --> 00:18:04,And that he decided
to fight isolation

00:18:04,583 --> 00:18:08,and protect me from
the black hole of my family.

00:18:13,592 --> 00:18:17,Because I dream, I ** not.

00:18:49,628 --> 00:18:50,Just the paper.

00:18:50,629 --> 00:18:52,Leave the trash.

00:18:52,631 --> 00:18:56,You can't do anything
with this, it's broken.

00:18:56,635 --> 00:18:59,Even if the record was broken,

00:18:59,638 --> 00:19:03,I remember I kept the album
for its cover.

00:19:35,674 --> 00:19:39,Leo, I'm paying you to work.

00:19:58,697 --> 00:20:02,Hi, Mo.

00:20:02,701 --> 00:20:05,Hey, Mo...

00:20:05,704 --> 00:20:09,You still buying from
the little frog brothers?

00:20:09,708 --> 00:20:11,Listen. Listen, Mo.

00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:15,I can get you all the paper
you need at a better price.

00:20:15,714 --> 00:20:19,No. I'm serious, Mo.

00:20:40,739 --> 00:20:44,Pick up the rest, Leo,
and put it in the car.

00:20:45,744 --> 00:20:49,Kid's a good worker,
isn't he?

00:20:49,748 --> 00:20:52,You don't listen.

00:20:52,751 --> 00:20:56,Paper is my business.

00:20:56,755 --> 00:21:00,You can't go on hurting me
like this, you know. Deal?

00:21:09,768 --> 00:21:12,Lozeau...

00:21:12,771 --> 00:21:15,Listen to me, Lozeau.

00:21:15,774 --> 00:21:17,You'll have to pick
another alley,

00:21:17,776 --> 00:21:21,'cause this one's ours.

00:21:29,788 -->...
