The Barbarian Invasions

The Barbarian Invasions

"The Barbarian Invasion THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS" (2003), directed by DENYS ARCAND, probably no critics will choose this play, the reason I like it is that it can discuss death in the most pleasant way, and the light sadness after watching it , the point of view discussed, has gone beyond the humanities and morals. Although few people appreciate it, this film won the highest French Caesar Award and the Best Director Award in 2004, and the 76th Academy Awards for Foreign Language Films also gave it to it.

The Barbarian Invasions quotes

  • Rémy: [in French] Contrary to belief, the 20th century wasn't that bloody. It's agreed that wars caused 100 million deaths. Add 10 million for the Russian gulags. The Chinese camps, we'll never know, but say 20 million. So 130, 145 million dead. Not all that impressive. In the 16th century, the Spanish and Portuguese managed, without gas chambers or bombs, to slaughter 150 million Indians in Latin America. With axes! That's a lot of work, sister. Even if they had church support, it was an achievement. So much so tha the Dutch, English, French, and later Americans followed their lead and butchered another 50 million. 200 million dead in all! The greatest massacre in history took place right here. And not the tiniest holocaust museum. The history of mankind is a history of horrors.

  • Rémy: We've been everything: separatists, supporters of independantists, sovereignists, sovereignity-associanists...

    Pierre: At first, we were existentialists.

    Dominique: We read Sartre and Camus.

    Claude: Then Fanon, we became anti-colonialists.

    Rémy: We read Marcuse and became Marxists.

    Pierre: Marxist-Leninists.

    Alessandro: Trotskyists.

    Diane: Maoists.

    Rémy: After Solzhenitsyn we changed, we became structuralists.

    Pierre: Situationists.

    Dominique: Feminists.

    Claude: Deconstructionists.

    Pierre: Is there an -ism we haven't worshipped?

    Claude: Cretinism.
