Enemy

Hello, darling. It's your mother.

Thank you for showing me your new apartment. Um...

I'm worried about you.

I mean, how can you live like that?

Anyway, would you call me back? Let's get together again.

I love you.

Control.

It's all about control.

Every dictatorship has one obsession.

And that's it.

So, in ancient Rome,

they gave the people bread and circuses.

They kept the populace busy with entertainment.

But other dictatorships use other strategies to control ideas.

The knowledge.

How do they do that?

Lower education.

They limit culture.

Censor information.

They censor any means of individual expression.

And it's important to remember this, that this is a pattern

that repeats itself throughout history.

Okay.

See you next week.

- Hi. - Hi.

How are you?

I'm good.

See, every dictatorship,

there's only one obsession and that's control,

they want to have control over the people.

In ancient Rome, they gave bread and circuses,

they kept the populace busy with entertainment.

In other dictatorships, they have other strategies.

To limit information, to limit ideas and knowledge.

How do they do that?

They lower education, limit culture.

They censor any means of self-expression.

But it's important to remember this, this is a pattern

that repeats itself

throughout history.

You don't go to the movies, do you?

Movies?

Yeah, are you a movie guy?

In your free time, I mean?

I don't know,

I don't go out that much, I don't really like movies.

Oh.

You don't have to go out to enjoy a good flick at home.

That's true.

I usually just rent them.

Most people don't these days,

but it's what I do.

Is there a reason why you're asking me this?

No.

'Cause you brought it up and I thought, you know, maybe

you had a recommendation, or you saw a movie that you liked

and you want to tell me about it.

Oh, sure, I mean, there's always something.

- I could go for something cheerful. - Hmm.

Where There's a Will There's a Way.

It's true.

No, it's a movie, I saw it a little while ago, but, um...

I remember, I liked it.

Hmm. Where There's a Will There's a Way.

Yeah, that's it.

Local film, if you...

I'll keep it in mind.

I think I'm drunk.

You wanna go to bed?

Hmm?

You wanna go to bed?

No, I'm gonna finish grading these papers

and then I'll come join you, okay?

Mr. Henderson, my husband will be back.

Your husband just won a heck lot of money from me.

By the look in his eye he didn't have an intention to...

Stop!

Stop!

Okay, okay, okay.

What's wrong?

I'll call you tomorrow.

Sorry I'm late.

All right.

Last class we talked about dictatorship,

so today we'll start with Hegel.

It was Hegel who said that all the greatest world events happen twice.

And then, Karl Marx added, the first time it was a tragedy,

and the second time it was a farce.

It's strange to think...

A lot of the world's thinkers are worried

that this century will be a repetition of the last one.

And there's an interesting observation, a creative act of memory

to remember something, to remember somebody...

I'm looking for Call me L8R or Passenger Without a Ticket.

Shit.

Anthony?

Anthony!

Hey, long time no see!

I couldn't tell it was you with that beard. Is that for a movie?

Yeah.

Man, you haven't been around here for ages.

Yeah, I don't know how long it's been.

Six months, I'd say.

Six months or more.

Yeah, so how's everything?

Great.

Are you meeting someone here? 'Cause there's no one around.

- No? - No,

you know no one comes in on Saturdays.

Oh...

I was supposed to pick up the thing...

For the movie. Um...

And I forgot it was Saturday... 'Cause my head is, like...

You actors are something else.

Hold on, let me see if there's anything for you.

Great.

Yeah, here it is, look.

Oh, that looks like it's it.

That's definitely it. That's definitely it.

- There you go. All right? - Okay.

- Hey, don't be a stranger. - I won't be.

Good luck with that movie.

Great, I will... Yes.

Anthony Claire.

3650 Rathburn Road.

Hello?

- Good afternoon, I'm calling... - Hey.

Um, I'm calling to speak to...

Where are you calling from?

I'm sorry, I think there's been a misunderstanding.

I'm calling to speak to Daniel Saint Claire, the...

Anthony?

Anthony, you called home.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

What are you doing?

My name's not Anthony.

You're not Anthony?

No, I'm calling to speak to Daniel Saint Claire, the actor. Um...

If I'm not mistaken, that's Anthony Claire's

name that he uses for the movies.

For his work.

Right.

Right, well, Daniel isn't here right now,

maybe I could get him to call you back.

Okay, I'm sorry to bother you.

What?

What?

I... I...

Who is this?

Hello? Who is this?

He doesn't know me.

No.

- Okay. I'm gonna... - Anthony?

I'll call back later.

Hello?

Hello, this is Anthony...

This is Anthony Claire, isn't it?

Who's calling?

I called before. I was talking... I talked to your wife. Crazy.

You're the one.

And you call here again, I will call the police...

I... No, no. Just hear me out.

Can you say something again? Can you talk again?

Who is this?

That's crazy. That's amazing.

Our... Your voice is just like mine. Do you hear my voice?

Your voice is just like mine.

Shit.

- Listen... - Sorry, please, please, please.

Just listen to me for a second.

Just listen, okay? Just hear me out.

I know this sounds crazy. I'm sorry. I got excited before.

When I get excited, I just act a little strange.

So just hear me out for a second.

I've seen three of your movies.

And you're great in them. You're great in them.

We look exactly alike.

And I called your wife earlier today.

And she said that... She thought that I was you.

And I'm just... I'm confused.

And I know this call must be just as confusing for you as it is for me.

And I just... My name is Adam Bell. I'm a history teacher.

And I just think that we should meet.

Hey, hey, hey, okay. Okay.

Listen to me. Never call here again.

Who was that?

It was that same guy.

What did he want?

I don't know. He sounded crazy.

Like, he sounded like a stalker or something.

A stalker?

Yeah, he said that he was a fan of mine.

That he wanted to, uh, meet up or something.

What?

- No. - Yeah.

You're messing with me.

Right?

- Anthony? - Uh...

Do you want to get something to eat?

Who was on the phone?
