Transcripts
Today in draw my life. Brave new world by Aldous Huxley
In the year 632 . after Ford
a group of students went inside the gray and crowded building . of the incubation and conditioning center of central London
They were guided by its director . a true eminence in the sector
with enthusiasm, they explained the work that was done there
they entered the fertilization lab . where 300 fertilizers worked on examining the yellow microscopes
the director proudly explained the modern Bokanovsky method
where an egg and a sperm joined in a test tube . and multiplied giving rise to 896 identical embryos
this process was performed paradoxically by stopping normal growth
it was the process of mass production . applied to biology
The director addressed Henry Foster . a scientist in the packaging room . in charge of packing and labeling the embryos to send them to the social predestination room
in there . they focused on the quality of thousands of embryos
in order to create socialized human beings with a specific future
their oxygen level was controlled. according to the caste they belonged to, they were provided different amounts of oxygen, so that they were more or less intelligent.
the Epsilones were the lowest caste and the alphas the highest
regardless of their membership, everyone was educated for their social destiny
then the room ended with tunnels that took the boats.
there was Lenina . a beautiful nurse who injected typhus into the boats to immunize them
before leaving . Foster agreed to meet her in the afternoon . in turn the director slapped Lenina
Sexual freedom was one of the basic principles of this society
in fact many scientists study to anticipate physical and sexual maturity
The tour continues in the nursery . in the Neopavlovian conditioning room
they took out several identical children dressed in khaki of the Delta caste
they put them on the floor . and placed books with colorful flowers in front of them
the children approached happily and when they were about to grab them . the bright colors paled
shortly after . they activated a lever that sounded an explosion and the beep of an alarm
The children got scared and burst into tears in terror . Then they supplied an electric shock
the screams became insane until they stopped . and everything returned to a normal crying of a child
they were offered again the flowers and books . The children approached.
but when they were about to touch it they turned away and cried again . associating it with the previous sensation
All this was done to instill hatred of nature because it didnt give money . and books since they were dangerous
then they left the children and headed to a room full of beds
in them around 80 children slept peacefully . while a speaker repeated principles of their caste . such as their clothes and their functions
It was a teaching system called hypnopedia . they performed it 120 times . three times a week for 30 months
then the group of students headed to the courtyard
It was recess time and the children played naked.
While the director told them about the practice of sex games . the auditor appeared
Mustafa Mohnd
He explained to the young the evils of family and home . monogamy and romanticism . and concluded with the phrase
Everyone belongs to everyone,
what they had been taught since childhood
he also talked about soma . a drug that helped fight aging and bad moods
meanwhile in the girls locker room . Lenina Crowne talked with Fanny about men
Lenina was dating Henry Foster for four months . Fanny thought that was too long without seeing other people
She recommended seeing more men to not call attention from above
Bernard Marx . a lonely man who had offered to travel to the reserves for savages . came to her mind
at the same time . Foster talked with a friend about Lenina as if she were an object . this disgusted Bernard Max who listened to them from behind
Foster and his friend heard him mutter and looked at him mocking him .
Leaving the locker room . Lenina saw Bernard in the elevator
She confirmed the trip to New Mexico and he responded shyly . Lenina's mannerisms made him nervous . but at the same time he liked her
they reached the roof and said goodbye
When Bernard was alone . a friend offered him a soma to improve his character .
but Bernard slipped away without listening . he didn't like people at all
his appearance did not correspond to his alpha caste . he was shorter and squalid like a gama
because of that he felt inferior and was unpleasant with others . fortunately shortly after the city flew south towards the propaganda house
when Lenina arrived at the helicopter in which Foster was . he reproached her for her unpunctuality of 4 minutes
they flew over the city and minutes later they reached their destination to play obstacle golf
Once at the propaganda house . Bernard met Helmholtz Watson . a professor at the School of Emotional Engineering
corpulent and agile, he was the perfect example of an Alpha . according to his superiors he was too competent
so he had the same obstacles as Bernard with his appearance . They understood them too .
After dinner with Watson . Bernard attended his solidarity service
He arrived a little late but was not the last . He sat next to Morgana. this girl obsessed with having both eyebrows together in one
the service consisted of worshiping the greatest being.
everyone was carried away by the sensations of the ceremony . but at the end Bernard felt equally empty
Lenin and Foster returned to London in their helicopter . on the way they talked about the approval of cremation of the bodies
Foster was comforted to know that while he lived and whatever his caste is everyone was happy
this axiom was repeated 150 times every night for 12 years
then they landed on Foster's roof . had dinner and soma with coffee . and went to the cabaret of Westminster Abbey to dance
after several appointments with Lenina . and although they both had difficulty understanding . Bernard began to process the papers for the trip to New Mexico
He asked the principal to sign for consent . After signing the director told Bernard a hard experience he lived at the land for the savages
he explained that he had made that same trip with a young woman
One night while they were sleeping it started to rain . when the director woke up the girl was no longer by his side
a rescue team was organized . but there was no sign of the young woman. since then he feels bad and often dreams of her
when the director realized that he had revealed that part of his past to Bernard . he was very ashamed and began to reproach him for his behavior with his colleagues
He threatened to send him to Iceland for service . despite the warning . a sense of rebellion was born in Bernard
once in New Mexico . the guardian of the place began to explain to Bernard and Lenina . what they needed to know about the place
They had nothing to fear from the savages since they were used to seeing tourists.
They were also protected by an electrified fence . At the end of the talk , Bernard called Watson to turn off his perfume tap
he took the opportunity to tell his friend that the director had said that he would be sent to Iceland
Bernards heart stopped . he was so terrified that he accepted Leninas soma tablets
then they got on the roof to leave on the plane.
when they arrived . the first town they visited left Lenina horrified
the society . the garbage . the dust . the dogs . the flies . it was all most unpleasant
She needed soma but had left it at the hotel . she was surprised to see an old man with the features of old age . and it seemed awful to see a mother breastfeeding
finally they were taken to a terrace overlooking the town square
There was very loud music . Dehumanized figures appeared performing a strange dance
then they threw some snakes to the center of the square . and some hands showed a man nailed to a cross
Then there was a young man who they began to whip
after several laps to the square . the boy fell to the ground . Lenina couldnt stop crying
Suddenly the whole crowd of the square disappeared .
Lenina was still crying when a young man with an Indian tunic but western features came out on the terrace
he felt ashamed because the natives did not admit him to their rituals because of his skin color
Lenina smiled at him tenderly and he was dumbfounded with her smile.
The young man told them that Linda his mother, Lenina was violent with the word , had arrived from the other place with another man before he was born
on one of her days off she went for a walk . and she fell into a ravine and injured her head
since then she never heard from the man who was the boys father
His name was Tomaskin . Bernard started to think . Thomas was the principals first name
the young man named John took them to his house on the outskirts of town
there he met Linda . a woman who Lenina found repulsive.
however the woman was happy to see civilized faces . she told Lenina how hard it had been to get used to this society . a society of monogamy and having children
On the other hand John spoke to Bernard of his childhood . He told him that he had always been rejected by society
but his mother taught him to read and it served as refuge to criticism of other children
One day he found a strange book . the complete works of William Shakespeare . and a new world of feelings opened up
He had felt so alone . John and Bernard bonded on just sharing his loneliness by being different
that night Bernard came up with a plan to uncover the boys father . the director
The next day he left Lenina sleeping to do what he needed . After several calls he launched his plan . Take the two individuals to London.
Back in London at the incubation center . the director entered determined to send Bernard to Iceland for being an enemy of society
however his wishes were interrupted at the moment Bernard pointed at the door
then entered Linda with her dirty appearance causing alarm
she approached the director smiling calling him Tomakin
she yelled you gave me a baby . then there was silence and the director turned pale.
John immediately entered and knelt at his feet and called him father .
The director left the room running.
the gossip ran like wildfire . the director resigned from his post and everyone looked with admiration at the strange savage
However Linda went completely unnoticed . and plunged into Somas vacation
Bernard began to be treated like a true personality . and had all the women he wanted
Needless to say . he was not sent to Iceland . because of his success Bernard ditched his friend Watson
The days went by and everyone was in charge of teaching John all the corners of the city,
the wings . the labs . the entertainment venues .
On one of those visits . John asked if they read Shakespeare but only had a resounding no
Lenina liked the savage more and more . but it upset her not to know what he thought
He seemed to be reluctant . but at the same time she often caught him watching her secretly
the truth is that John did like Lenina . but he did not want to get carried away by his selfish feelings . and because the guilt of sin haunted him
One night Bernard organized a dinner for those who did not know the savage yet . but John refused to leave his room
when Bernard informed the Assembly of this refusal . everyone was enraged and left the room
When he was alone . he began to cry . his fame had plummeted.
the next day . he got up and went to work in a very bad mood at the conditioning center
the false fans had disappeared.
and his true friends like John and Watson reappeared.
however a feeling of revenge had emerged in Bernard . that he wanted to use against his friends since they were the weakest people
meanwhile John and Watson became friends . they understood each other perfectly
Watson read his verses and John read Romeo and Juliet . although the first had a hard time understanding the play
Bernard became jealous and took soma to fight it
Lenina was sad
she liked John and although he seemed to feel the same for her . he acted strangely
one day she found the courage to go to him to declare her feelings
Before she could say anything . John told her he loved her . Lenina was very happy and kissed him
However he didn't have the same concept of love . John didn't like Lenina's passion and turned violent
causing Lenina to hide in the bathroom until John received an urgent call and left home
He went to the hospital because Linda was dying . John suffered when he saw his mother like that . but she didn't recognize him.
She called him Popey like her lover .
He shook her . but Linda was far from there.
Suddenly her face turned blue and she breathed the last breath . John felt a lot of pain . and nobody could understand it since they were educated so that death was not painful
leaving the hospital . he met a crowd that was looking for soma
his hatred of that world grew by the second
He shouted in silence . then he started recriminating civilization and throwing soma out the window
Bernard and Watson had been alerted . and watched John go out of his mind
Watson offered to help him . Bernard wasn't sure if he wanted to cooperate
in his indecision the police appeared . shooting soma and water with painkillers
After a few minutes everyone was relaxed and under the influence
then the three detainees were taken to the auditor's office
Watson took it with humor . Bernard was distraught . and John agitated
Mustafa Mond told them about the benefits of civilization
Control and ignorance . since they put it in danger . they were going to send them to an island
Bernard panicked and began to blame his friends
three workers took him .
after a long conversation and once at home . John needed to purify himself
he made a mixture that caused vomiting . Bernard and Watson looked worried.
Bernard apologized to John for his behavior . and he accepted it . John really wanted to go with them.
But they didn't let him because he was subject to experimentation . So John decided to become a hermit to live alone and perform his rituals of penance
until one day he was discovered by 3 Delta peasants . the next day he was surrounded by reporters
and after attacking one of them . he was left alone for a while
every time Lenina appeared in his mind he whipped himself
one day all his rituals were recorded and the movie was called the savage of Surrey
This brought thousands of curious people . Overwhelmed John saw among many people a familiar smile . Lenina . he went to her and to the surprise of the young woman began to attack her
the crowd shouted excitedly until the show was over and all the helicopters disappeared
the next day more people came . but there was no sign of the savage .
They entered the hermitage . and in the background they saw feet hanging in circles in the air
