A movie by
Dr. Amir Har-Gil

Producers
Udi Kalinski and Amir Manor
 
0005 01:02:26:24 01:02:29:16
 
The sun's shining so brightly.
 
0006 01:02:34:12 01:02:39:13
 
Who can this be?
-So early in the morning?
 
0007 01:02:44:13 01:02:46:15
 
Yes?
 
0008 01:02:46:17 01:02:49:11
 
Yes, I hear you
loud and clear.
 
0009 01:02:49:13 01:02:50:18
 
I hear you!
 
0010 01:02:50:20 01:02:55:24
 
Hello? -Good morning, Mr Gil?
-Speaking. -I'm calling from Fedex,
 
0011 01:02:56:05 01:03:00:10
 
I have a parcel for you. -Fedex?
-Yes. -Who's it from?
 
0012 01:03:01:20 01:03:08:02
 
I'll come to the gate, to meet you.
Down, the road is going down.
 
0013 01:03:11:01 01:03:13:16
 
Good morning to you.
-Good morning.
 
0014 01:03:15:18 01:03:17:03
 
This is the delivery.
 
0015 01:03:17:05 01:03:19:08
 
Thank you. -Have a nice day.
 
0016 01:03:19:10 01:03:21:10
 
Bambam, come here.
 
0017 01:03:23:15 01:03:27:04
 
What's this?
-I don't know.
 
0018 01:03:27:06 01:03:29:00
 
It's...
 
0019 01:03:33:17 01:03:35:17
 
Israel...
 
0020 01:03:35:20 01:03:39:20
 
Guinness World record!
 
0021 01:03:42:22 01:03:47:22
 
I am pleased to inform you that
you have been successful
 
0022 01:03:47:24 01:03:51:15
 
in setting a new
Guinness World record!
 
0023 01:03:51:18 01:03:56:10
 
Under the category of "the oldest
active fighter pilot in the world".
 
0024 01:03:56:14 01:04:01:06
 
How very amusing!
-By golly... -Amazing.
 
0025 01:04:01:13 01:04:05:10
 
It looks authentic, doesn't it?
-Yes.
 
0026 01:04:05:20 01:04:09:10
 
Uri, you hold a Guinness
world record. Just great!
 
0027 01:04:11:10 01:04:13:20
 
Call your daughters...
 
0028 01:04:15:13 01:04:20:13
 
Call Lior... -Yes.
-This is just great.
 
0029 01:04:22:22 01:04:25:20
 
It was worth it...
 
0030 01:04:25:24 01:04:28:15
 
Shiri, what's up?
 
0031 01:04:28:24 01:04:32:13
 
How are my grandchildren? -Ok...
 
0032 01:04:32:22 01:04:38:18
 
Listen, -Yes? -Some actions
were taken behind my back,
 
0033 01:04:38:21 01:04:43:07
 
and I got a
certificate from Guinness...
 
0034 01:04:44:02 01:04:46:20
 
World records...
 
0035 01:04:47:01 01:04:49:22
 
Uri Gil, it's written
in English, of-course...
 
0036 01:04:49:24 01:04:54:14
 
Israeli born, 9 April 1943,
 
0037 01:04:54:16 01:04:57:18
 
a brigadier-general
in the Israeli Air force,
 
0038 01:04:57:20 01:05:04:18
 
was an active fighter pilot from
1964 until his last flight in an F-16
 
0039 01:05:04:20 01:05:11:11
 
on 20 June 2003,
at the age of 60 years 72 days.
 
0040 01:05:11:13 01:05:15:05
 
Very nice! -Tell the kids.

The parade will stand at ease,
at ease!
 
0044 01:05:41:12 01:05:46:05
 
Morning briefing at 9:50.
 
0045 01:05:55:09 01:05:58:11
 
This is the dramatic bit.
 
0046 01:05:59:04 01:06:02:06
 
Have you any idea
how much this weighs?
 
0047 01:06:16:08 01:06:18:14
 
This is mine...
 
0048 01:06:18:17 01:06:23:20
 
This hat is from 1976.
During my service I had two hats:
 
0049 01:06:23:22 01:06:28:10
 
>From '64 to '76 and from '76,
and this is it, my second hat.
 
0050 01:06:28:12 01:06:31:03
 
Second helmet, yes...
 
0051 01:06:32:00 01:06:34:09
 
It's the oldest one here.
 
0052 01:06:34:11 01:06:38:00
 
I asked that as a farewell,
they renovate my helmet,
 
0053 01:06:38:02 01:06:42:05
 
that it will be a smooth white,
that's all,
 
0054 01:06:42:07 01:06:46:07
 
that's how I want to receive it.
It will be done.
 
0055 01:07:34:13 01:07:38:23
 
All the pilots in the world
want to aim at the cockpit:
 
0056 01:07:39:00 01:07:42:02
 
the Arabs, the Jews,
the Americans, everyone!
 
0057 01:07:42:04 01:07:45:18
 
That's where one should aim.
 
0058 01:07:51:18 01:07:56:09
 
The first MIG I hit was in the
cockpit, as was the last.
 
0059 01:07:56:11 01:08:00:03
 
The first was during the 1967 War
and the last one was during
 
0060 01:08:00:05 01:08:04:18
 
1982 war ... a difference
of 15 years in air combat.
 
0061 01:08:04:20 01:08:08:03
 
I didn't shoot down
the highest number of planes,
 
0062 01:08:08:05 01:08:12:07
 
but I'm the only one who downed
planes in all the wars. Nice.
 
0063 01:08:12:19 01:08:16:09
 
So the first, and the last,
were cockpit hits.
 
0064 01:08:17:05 01:08:19:24
 
Yes, it was nicely hit.
 
0065 01:08:49:02 01:08:52:19
 
It was interesting.
-It wasn't.
 
0066 01:08:52:21 01:08:56:10
 
I enjoyed it.
-It was my fault.
 
0067 01:08:56:12 01:09:01:08
 
Never mind. -It was my fault
and I won't be able to sleep.
 
0068 01:09:03:14 01:09:07:23
 
You didn't go into it properly.
 
0069 01:09:08:01 01:09:13:06
 
You told me,
when one comes down to cut him off.
 
0070 01:09:13:08 01:09:17:13
 
listen closely... I marked him, but
I said: "you mark the other!" -No.
 
0071 01:09:19:21 01:09:21:15
 
Listen very closely...
 
0072 01:09:32:12 01:09:35:04
 
Is that me or him?
 
0073 01:09:35:06 01:09:39:06
 
Okay. I wasn't with it today.
-Never mind. -How stupid.
 
0074 01:09:39:08 01:09:41:08
 
Forget it...
 
0075 01:09:41:17 01:09:43:14
 
No...
 
0076 01:09:47:15 01:09:52:00
 
This was my mistake.
I should not gone in on him.
 
0077 01:09:53:08 01:09:55:05
 
Come here, Bambam.
 
0078 01:09:55:07 01:10:00:03
 
Bambam, come here!
Come here, sweet dog.
 
0079 01:10:01:10 01:10:05:10
 
It's important to discuss the things
that weren't good enough
 
0080 01:10:05:12 01:10:09:17
 
When I think of a flight I think
of the things that weren't good.
 
0081 01:10:09:19 01:10:14:08
 
and so, if something bad happened to
me I think about it, till the next time.
 
0082 01:10:14:10 01:10:19:12
 
One day,
I see a young man getting dressed
 
0083 01:10:19:15 01:10:24:09
 
and I ask him: "What's this?"
And he says: "Im going home at 6".
 
0084 01:10:24:11 01:10:25:20
 
I said to him:
 
0085 01:10:25:22 01:10:29:22
 
"I don't understand you. We flew
together,
 
0086 01:10:31:08 01:10:35:23
 
there was a long line of fuck-ups
"how are you going home today?
 
0087 01:10:36:00 01:10:39:06
 
"You should stay here and
think about it".
 
0088 01:10:39:08 01:10:43:00
 
"This is a serious vocation.
A person who goes home everyday,
 
0089 01:10:43:02 01:10:46:17
 
"doesn't treat this
mission seriously.
 
0090 01:10:46:19 01:10:51:19
 
"Flight is a serious vocation,
it nearly takes up all of you..."
 
0091 01:10:53:02 01:10:54:19
 
Hello!
 
0092 01:11:01:13 01:11:03:20
 
How much? -75 and 300.
 
0093 01:11:06:24 01:11:10:10
 
Shall we toast this
with some wine?
 
0094 01:11:10:16 01:11:16:04
 
I always considered the age of 60
to be a very respectable one
 
0095 01:11:16:06 01:11:19:02
 
most of my life is
still ahead of me
 
0096 01:11:19:04 01:11:21:12
 
and a person is now at his
philosophical age
 
0097 01:11:21:14 01:11:24:15
 
and I recommend you all
to adopt this...
 
0098 01:11:24:20 01:11:28:03
 
Cheers! -Congratulations!
-Good health!
 
0099 01:11:28:09 01:11:33:12
 
Okay, dad, you stressed nonchalantly
that without presents, just children,
 
0100 01:11:33:18 01:11:37:03
 
but your
sixtieth birthday is special,
 
0101 01:11:37:05 01:11:39:19
 
so we did as we felt...
 
0102 01:11:39:21 01:11:44:01
 
so we prepared
a few things for you...
 
0103 01:11:44:07 01:11:47:11
 
This is for you.
-Where was this?
 
0104 01:11:47:13 01:11:49:10
 
I have big pockets...
 
0105 01:11:52:13 01:11:54:12
 
It's all wrapped up...
 
0106 01:11:58:23 01:12:01:13
 
I couldn't get a better
present...
 
0107 01:12:01:15 01:12:04:01
 
- In your foot steps -
 
0108 01:12:04:03 01:12:05:21
 
This is beautiful.
 
0109 01:12:05:23 01:12:09:08
 
Who is this?
-Me. -You?
 
0110 01:12:09:10 01:12:11:11
 
It's beautiful.
-That's you...
 
0111 01:12:11:13 01:12:15:05
 
Shiri made all of it,
including the box, right?
 
0112 01:12:18:19 01:12:21:10
 
Blow on it...
 
0113 01:12:28:06 01:12:32:18
 
"Here is the news.
The time is 11 o'clock.
 
0114 01:12:33:03 01:12:38:02
 
"The IDF spokesman reported that
in all air combats during the day,
 
0115 01:12:38:05 01:12:42:18
 
"the number of enemy planes
downed has gone up to 25,
 
0116 01:12:43:05 01:12:48:08
 
"6 of them Egyptian
and 19 Syrian..."
 
0117 01:13:06:18 01:13:09:03
 
Verdi, come here!
 
0118 01:13:10:09 01:13:12:24
 
Verdi, out!
 
0119 01:13:13:05 01:13:16:20
 
Can you tell us a little about
yourself?
 
0120 01:13:16:22 01:13:20:10
 
I'll tell you
about the paintings.
 
0121 01:13:22:13 01:13:25:07
 
Just to give you a rundown of the
models: this is my eldest daughter
 
0122 01:13:25:09 01:13:30:05
 
when she was 19. This is my
youngest daughter when she was 17,
 
0123 01:13:30:07 01:13:35:14
 
and this one here is at present
already 36 and this one's 32.
 
0124 01:13:35:16 01:13:37:23
 
This is my wife...
 
0125 01:13:38:00 01:13:40:13
 
That's all.
What?
 
0126 01:13:46:22 01:13:50:20
 
How did you paint this,
did someone take a photo of you?
 
0127 01:13:50:22 01:13:56:10
 
No. I just stand, for hours
I kept on looking in the mirror.
 
0128 01:13:56:12 01:14:00:08
 
How is it that you're anonymous?
 
0129 01:14:00:10 01:14:04:10
 
The desire just to paint arose
in me at a relatively late age
 
0130 01:14:04:12 01:14:08:20
 
and so I built my life in such
a manner that I could just paint.
 
0131 01:14:08:24 01:14:12:03
 
My army service was like this:
because of 1967 war.
 
0132 01:14:12:05 01:14:17:16
 
I couldn't quit the service, and then
another war and a new plane arrived,
 
0133 01:14:17:18 01:14:20:10
 
It was difficult
to leave the service.
 
0134 01:14:20:15 01:14:24:08
 
I was born in such
a human environment,
 
0135 01:14:24:10 01:14:29:09
 
that in a manner, screwed
you, because you grew up
 
0136 01:14:29:17 01:14:35:01
 
knowing that there's a job to be
done and someone has to do it.
 
0137 01:14:35:03 01:14:38:10
 
That's it. And this is the price.
This is the price...
 
0138 01:15:12:18 01:15:17:14
 
Uri, has the meaning of bravery
changed over the years?
 
0139 01:15:17:16 01:15:22:11
 
I don't refer to myself
in terms of bravery.
 
0140 01:15:22:13 01:15:26:22
 
Every time I'm asked...
but the question is not:
 
0141 01:15:26:24 01:15:30:23
 
if to attack or not, if to draw
away from 8 Mig's or not to.
 
0142 01:15:30:04 01:15:34:19
 
The question is what kind
of person do you want to be
 
0143 01:15:34:21 01:15:39:02
 
and the answers
are derived from that.
 
0144 01:15:39:04 01:15:44:16
 
Take that small book by SunTzu,
The Art of War, from 500BC,
 
0145 01:15:44:18 01:15:49:00
 
together with Confucius and
Buddha who were in the East.
 
0146 01:15:49:02 01:15:53:00
 
If you disregard weapons,
then it's the same,
 
0147 01:15:53:02 01:15:57:01
 
because you're
speaking about a human being.
 
0148 01:15:57:03 01:16:01:00
 
Historically speaking, we are...
but a blink of the eye,
 
0149 01:16:01:02 01:16:04:19
 
but character wise,
nothing's changed.
 
0150 01:16:07:09 01:16:11:09
 
Hope you have a pleasant Saturday.
-Thanks, it's my last Saturday here.
 
0151 01:16:13:20 01:16:17:20
 
I hope there'll be a few calls.
-Something to dig the teeth into.
 
0152 01:16:17:22 01:16:19:17
 
Briefing!
 
0153 01:16:20:12 01:16:24:15
 
Early Sunday morning,
a Galaxy will land here,
 
0154 01:16:24:17 01:16:28:18
 
and the on-call duty
becomes a different one...
 
0155 01:16:30:02 01:16:35:04
 
You'll be sprung into action during
the day and after the sun goes down.
 
0156 01:16:35:06 01:16:39:08
 
It has to be done
till the take-off runway.
 
0157 01:16:39:10 01:16:43:20
 
Sir, are you with me? -Yes. -He's
thinking about something else now.
 
0158 01:16:43:22 01:16:46:01
 
That's all.
 
0159 01:16:50:04 01:16:54:17
 
Is there something new there? -Does
not look like a war will break out.
 
0160 01:17:00:01 01:17:04:09
 
Grandad! -Hello, sweetie, do I know
you from somewhere? -Yes.
 
0161 01:17:04:11 01:17:07:04
 
Do I know you?
Give me your hand.
 
0162 01:17:07:07 01:17:10:07
 
Do you want to wear my hat?
-Helmet.
 
0163 01:17:10:23 01:17:13:03
 
Do you want my hat, Chen?
 
0164 01:17:16:10 01:17:18:11
 
What do you think?
-Grandad.
 
0165 01:17:18:13 01:17:21:03
 
Would you like
to sit in an F-16?
 
0166 01:17:21:05 01:17:26:01
 
Come on, sweetie. -To this?
-Yes, this is an F-16.
 
0167 01:17:26:03 01:17:29:06
 
You see? From here the
air goes into the engine.
 
0168 01:17:29:09 01:17:34:15
 
What's this? -A missile.
A missile the plane fires.
 
0169 01:17:34:17 01:17:41:09
 
Yes! Because it's a fighter plane.
-Right. It's a fighter plane.
 
0170 01:17:41:11 01:17:42:18
 
Come here and see this.
 
0171 01:17:42:20 01:17:46:06
 
I showed you from where
the air goes in, right? -Yes.
 
0172 01:17:46:10 01:17:51:03
 
The air goes in and the plane moves
forward. How does it move forward?
 
0173 01:17:51:06 01:17:56:05
 
It lets the air out at very high
speed. -From here. -That's right.
 
0174 01:17:56:07 01:17:58:17
 
It goes through the engine.
 
0175 01:17:58:19 01:18:02:17
 
Now, let's climb into the plane.
Come and see this.
 
0176 01:18:03:15 01:18:06:17
 
Climb the ladder.
 
0177 01:18:06:20 01:18:09:24
 
Don't be afraid.
Put your hand here.
 
0178 01:18:13:16 01:18:15:10
 
Okay?
 
0179 01:18:15:16 01:18:20:16
 
That's it... Hold here, with
both hands. Now, sit down.
 
0180 01:18:21:01 01:18:22:19
 
This is the plane.
 
0181 01:18:23:01 01:18:24:13
 
Shiri!
 
0182 01:18:24:15 01:18:26:04
 
Wave to mummy.
 
0183 01:18:26:06 01:18:28:02
 
Hi!
 
0184 01:18:28:07 01:18:32:04
 
This plane's on call.
If planes come to our borders,
 
0185 01:18:32:06 01:18:37:07
 
then someone has to make sure these
planes don't enter the country, right?
 
0186 01:18:37:09 01:18:40:17
 
so we take off in this, and we...
 
0187 01:18:40:19 01:18:43:03
 
run them off.
 
0188 01:18:43:06 01:18:45:07
 
That's all.
 
0189 01:18:45:09 01:18:47:18
 
Wave to me.
 
0190 01:18:51:20 01:18:53:13
 
I understood. -Great.
 
0191 01:18:55:17 01:19:02:05
 
I have to admit about myself,
and not too gladly, to the fact that...
 
0192 01:19:02:15 01:19:06:16
 
I flourish in wars.
It's not very nice to say this...
 
0193 01:19:06:18 01:19:10:07
 
and I discovered that
I'm not alone in this.
 
0194 01:19:10:09 01:19:14:09
 
I've met people who have
said the exact same thing:
 
0195 01:19:14:11 01:19:19:11
 
I show a certain extent of
indifference in dangerous situations.
 
0196 01:19:19:13 01:19:23:15
 
Level headedness. -When a missile
goes off next to you, and another,
 
0197 01:19:23:17 01:19:28:15
 
and another, this has never left
it's mark on me in the sense that
 
0198 01:19:28:17 01:19:33:17
 
this distance is a dangerous one,
this is a dangerous vocation
 
0199 01:19:33:19 01:19:36:19
 
and you have to be careful
because it can kill you.
 
0200 01:19:36:21 01:19:42:00
 
This never arose, and the vocation
is such that there's this remoteness,
 
0201 01:19:42:02 01:19:44:17
 
a certain remoteness from
the terror you're creating,
 
0202 01:19:44:19 01:19:46:09
 
a real terror.
 
0203 01:19:46:11 01:19:50:11
 
You're discharging bombs
with great powers of destruction
 
0204 01:19:50:13 01:19:53:05
 
and this is something terrible.
 
0205 01:19:54:03 01:19:57:10
 
Its also beautiful.
There's beauty in this power.
 
0206 01:19:58:20 01:20:03:05
 
But the bottom line is you
see everything as a target.
 
0207 01:20:03:10 01:20:04:22
 
A target...
 
0208 01:20:10:05 01:20:13:09
 
In the past one would die at 75.
 
0209 01:20:13:20 01:20:17:01
 
I heard... Actually I read
in the paper that...
 
0210 01:20:52:17 01:20:54:12
 
Drive!
 
0211 01:22:21:21 01:22:26:13
 
There was a bombing raid planned
on a certain Eqyptian city,
 
0212 01:22:26:15 01:22:30:10
 
a single plane, sent to bomb
a very specific target
 
0213 01:22:30:12 01:22:32:12
 
and I identified the target.
 
0214 01:22:32:14 01:22:36:19
 
It was nighttime,
and there is a possibility...
 
0215 01:22:36:21 01:22:40:06
 
even though they defined the
importance of the target.
 
0216 01:22:40:08 01:22:44:06
 
It's a city,
and I hit the target.
 
0217 01:22:44:08 01:22:50:07
 
In that case I have
a fear to some extent
 
0218 01:22:50:09 01:22:55:09
 
that... there's a possibility that
the info the intelligence gathered
 
0219 01:22:55:11 01:23:00:21
 
is not accurate enough,
then I did indeed attack civilians,
 
0220 01:23:00:23 01:23:04:23
 
but I was told that
this was not the case.
 
0221 01:23:18:02 01:23:24:07
 
I really hope that the fact that
you take a machine like this,
 
0222 01:23:24:20 01:23:29:12
 
with the power to destroy,
will not develop in you this urge,
 
0223 01:23:29:23 01:23:34:00
 
but will achieve the opposite: you'll
understand how very small you are.
 
0224 01:23:34:02 01:23:41:01
 
How you, as a subject, are small...
in the world,
 
0225 01:23:41:03 01:23:46:14
 
and that it not intoxicate you,
not for having downed a plane,
 
0226 01:23:46:16 01:23:51:14
 
and I'm telling you, I've downed a
certain number of MIG fighter planes
 
0227 01:23:51:16 01:23:55:16
 
and there's a tradition of a low
flyovers afterwards,
 
0228 01:23:55:18 01:23:58:22
 
but I've never performed this.
 
0229 01:23:58:24 01:24:01:24
 
You turn the plane a full turn.
 
0230 01:24:02:01 01:24:04:12
 
I would say, that in fact...
 
0231 01:24:04:14 01:24:09:14
 
I'm nearly in tears
because of this thing.
 
0232 01:24:10:23 01:24:14:16
 
I would say this was...
 
0233 01:24:18:21 01:24:21:13
 
let's put it this way...
 
0234 01:24:23:00 01:24:26:08
 
a salute to the...
 
0235 01:24:27:09 01:24:31:10
 
person defeated.
Something like that, I think.
 
0236 01:24:32:03 01:24:36:19
 
This I did do. I downed him
and that was the end of it.
 
0237 01:24:36:21 01:24:40:21
 
Some form of respect
for the opponent.
 
0238 01:24:50:04 01:24:54:05
 
I'm late. -You lost some weight.
What shall we do? -Yes...
 
0239 01:24:55:01 01:24:57:19
 
How are you? -What's happening?
 
0240 01:25:02:23 01:25:05:12
 
Look, this is the first one.
 
0241 01:25:08:16 01:25:13:12
 
Look at this. -Wow!
I'm overwhelmed to see this.
 
0242 01:25:13:23 01:25:15:24
 
Look...
 
0243 01:25:17:15 01:25:19:21
 
See the look in the eyes?
 
0244 01:25:29:18 01:25:33:06
 
Where's the sheet? Over there...
 
0245 01:25:34:03 01:25:38:13
 
Put your arms... the arms are
"doing" something to the face,
 
0246 01:25:38:19 01:25:41:03
 
some form of tension.
 
0247 01:25:43:21 01:25:46:10
 
I need the top part only.
 
0248 01:25:51:11 01:25:56:00
 
You'll stand with your body
turned in this direction. That's it!
 
0249 01:25:57:24 01:26:01:13
 
I have to capture
something that's not...
 
0250 01:26:29:11 01:26:34:18
 
I have to put my arms down
for a while. -Put them down.
 
0251 01:26:36:11 01:26:40:08
 
I think I can make do
with this for the moment.
 
0252 01:26:40:15 01:26:42:08
 
Look at this...
 
0253 01:26:44:12 01:26:48:22
 
Wow! -But this is thick canvas.
-And in pencil, which is more...
 
0254 01:26:49:16 01:26:51:23
 
It's half a year's work.
 
0255 01:26:52:11 01:26:55:02
 
There were times
when I worked till 3am.
 
0256 01:26:56:12 01:27:02:13
 
That's it, it's some form of
farewell. -It's very touching.
 
0257 01:27:04:18 01:27:08:19
 
What's this magazine?
Something to do with art?
 
0258 01:27:08:21 01:27:12:00
 
It's you, Uri! I don't believe it!
It's you.
 
0259 01:27:12:10 01:27:14:06
 
I didn't recognize you.
 
0260 01:27:14:10 01:27:16:14
 
Uri Gil!
 
0261 01:27:17:00 01:27:22:00
 
The Art of Flying... What a sentence,
"the art of flying"... -Yes...
 
0262 01:27:22:05 01:27:26:17
 
When's this from? I haven't seen
this. -It's a few months old.
 
0263 01:27:26:19 01:27:29:13
 
A pilot and an artist?
-Yes, all in one.
 
0264 01:27:30:01 01:27:33:04
 
I'm even sitting in the plane.
-They took the picture of you?
 
0265 01:27:33:06 01:27:39:03
 
It's 41 years of flying planes,
it's my second nature. -41 years!
 
0266 01:27:39:05 01:27:43:16
 
What a beautiful photograph!
I love this sentence. -Which one?
 
0267 01:27:43:19 01:27:47:21
 
"I consider fear and courage
as different types of emotions"
 
0268 01:27:47:24 01:27:51:22
 
That's true. -"Fear is an
ambition for physical survival,
 
0269 01:27:52:13 01:27:55:15
 
"courage is an ambition
for spiritual survival."
 
0270 01:27:55:18 01:27:59:21
 
"For a military man,
a situation in which he
 
0271 01:27:59:23 01:28:03:24
 
"endangers his life
is part of that life".
 
0272 01:28:05:10 01:28:10:19
 
What did Bob Marley sing?
"My fear is my only courage".
 
0273 01:28:10:21 01:28:13:05
 
It's fantastic. Amazing.
 
0274 01:28:18:20 01:28:20:13
 
How are you?
 
0275 01:28:20:19 01:28:24:16
 
Do I get to see the painting now?
- Let's see it.
 
0276 01:28:24:18 01:28:29:16
 
I showed her the magazine in which
they wrote about me to a woman...
 
0277 01:28:29:18 01:28:33:03
 
It probably has something
in the back. -There's a lot.
 
0278 01:28:37:12 01:28:40:14
 
Look at
the sheer size of it.
 
0279 01:28:40:16 01:28:43:05
 
I say...
 
0280 01:28:44:16 01:28:48:16
 
Do you see yourself? -It's great.
-Everyone who saw it said:
 
0281 01:28:48:14 01:28:52:12
 
"what a handsome guy!"
 
0282 01:28:54:09 01:28:59:22
 
If you join this line, you get
a "V" shape, you see this? -Yes.
 
0283 01:29:01:04 01:29:05:04
 
which is more or less...
 
0284 01:29:06:10 01:29:09:08
 
I take my hat off
 
0285 01:29:09:10 01:29:12:21
 
to the Battle for Britain, where it
was thought up.
 
0286 01:29:12:23 01:29:15:15
 
The "V" sign by Churchill.
 
0287 01:29:16:21 01:29:20:21
 
"Never was so much owed
by so many to so few".
 
0288 01:29:20:23 01:29:23:11
 
I think about the few,
 
0289 01:29:23:13 01:29:27:19
 
and from a perspective of few
years on, the exact contrary,
 
0290 01:29:27:21 01:29:32:13
 
what part do our pilots that refused
to bomb cities play in those "few"?
 
0291 01:29:32:15 01:29:38:15
 
As private people, they did something
they were willing to pay a price for.
 
0292 01:29:38:19 01:29:44:22
 
They approached me, but I didn't
join them. -Why didn't you?
 
0293 01:29:44:24 01:29:48:16
 
Because I oppose insubordination.
-I oppose insubordination.
 
0294 01:29:48:18 01:29:54:03
 
There's no point where you see
yourself agreeing to insubordination?
