Old Man and the Sea The

en
00:01:17 He was an old man who fished alone
00:01:21 ... and he had gone 84 days now
00:01:27 In the first 40 days,
00:01:30 But after 40 days without a fish
00:01:33 ... that the old man was now definitely
00:01:37 ... which is the worst form of unlucky...
00:01:39 ... and the boy had gone at their orders
00:01:42 ... which caught three good fish
00:01:46 The old man had taught the boy to fish,
00:02:00 The old man was gray and wrinkled,
00:02:04 ... and his hands had the deep, creased scars
00:02:09 But none of these scars were fresh.
00:02:12 They were as old as erosions
00:02:16 Everything about him was old,
00:02:20 And they were the same color as the sea,
00:02:37 It made the boy sad to see the old man
00:02:41 He always went down to help him carry
00:02:45 ... and the sail that was furled
00:02:48 The sail was patched
00:02:52 It looked like the flag
00:03:32 No one would steal
00:03:34 ... but it's better to take
00:03:37 ... as the dew was bad for them.
00:03:39 Though he was sure no
00:03:42 ... the old man thought
00:03:44 ... were needless temptations
00:03:48 The successful fishermen were already in
00:03:52 ... carried them laid full-length
00:03:56 ... where they waited for the ice truck
00:04:10 "Can I offer you a beer on the terrace?"
00:04:13 "Why not?" the old man said.
00:04:21 Two beers, Martin. Please.
00:04:28 They sat on the terrace and many
00:04:32 But he was not angry.
00:04:35 He did not remember
00:04:38 ... but he knew he had attained it...
00:04:40 ... and he knew it was not disgraceful
00:04:45 Some of the older fishermen
00:04:49 ... but they did not show it.
00:04:53 ... and the depths they'd
00:04:55 ... and the steady, good weather
00:05:00 - Santiago.
00:05:02 Can I go and get the sardines
00:05:05 Oh, no. No.
00:05:07 You play ball. I can still row,
00:05:11 I know where I can get four fresh baits.
00:05:15 I still have mine from today.
00:05:18 Let me get four fresh ones.
00:05:21 - One.
00:05:25 Two.
00:05:28 - You didn't steal them, did you?
00:05:33 Thank you.
00:05:36 If I cannot fish with you,
00:05:40 You bought me a beer.
00:05:42 You are already a man.
00:06:14 They walked up the road together.
00:06:17 The old man stood the mast
00:06:21 In the old man's shack,
00:06:24 ... and a place to cook with charcoal.
00:06:27 On the brown walls, there was a picture
00:06:32 ... and another of the Virgin of Cobre.
00:06:34 These were relics of his wife.
00:06:37 Once there had been a tinted photograph
00:06:41 But he had taken it down because
00:06:45 It was on the shelf in the corner,
00:06:55 Tomorrow is the 85th day.
00:06:58 Eighty-five is a lucky number.
00:07:02 How'd you like to see me bring one in
00:07:06 Are you strong enough now
00:07:09 I think so.
00:07:12 And there are many tricks.
00:07:14 Santiago, I could go with you again.
00:07:18 We've made enough money.
00:07:20 No, no. You are in a lucky boat.
00:07:25 Remember how long we went
00:07:29 Then we caught big ones every day
00:07:33 I remember.
00:07:35 I know you did not leave me
00:07:39 It was my papa made me leave.
00:07:43 Of course, of course.
00:07:46 He hasn't much faith.
00:07:49 - But we have, haven't we?
00:07:52 If you were my boy,
00:07:56 But you are your father's and your mother's,
00:08:02 What do you have to eat?
00:08:04 I have a pot of yellow rice and some fish.
00:08:08 No. I'll eat at home.
00:08:09 - May I take the cast net?
00:08:14 I have yesterday's newspaper.
00:08:16 I will read the baseball.
00:08:19 There was no cast net. The boy remembered
00:08:23 But they went through
00:08:25 There was no pot of yellow rice and fish,
00:08:30 He didn't know whether yesterday's paper
00:08:34 The old man brought it out
00:08:36 Keep warm, old man.
00:08:38 Sit in the sun.
00:08:43 The month of the big fish.
00:08:48 Anybody can be a fisherman in May.
00:08:51 I'll be back when I get the sardines.
00:08:53 Then you can tell me about the baseball.
00:09:27 - Hey, Manolin, come on.
00:09:30 Hey, yeah. Come on.
00:09:48 - Manolin.
00:09:53 You don't eat at home anymore?
00:10:01 - How much do you have to spend?
00:10:12 No luck yet, huh?
00:10:15 You know, maybe it's not luck at all.
00:10:18 He's not too old. You'll see.
00:10:21 - I said, maybe.
00:10:24 All right.
00:10:26 I only hope when I'm an old man
00:10:33 When the boy came back,
00:10:36 ... and the sun was going down.
00:10:38 His shoulders were still powerful,
00:10:42 The neck was still strong too.
00:10:44 The creases did not show so much
00:10:49 His head was very old, though.
00:10:52 And with his eyes closed,
00:10:56 Wake up, old man.
00:11:03 The old man opened his eyes,
00:11:06 ... he was coming back
00:11:14 Then he smiled.
00:11:15 What have you got?
00:11:17 - We're gonna have supper.
00:11:21 Come on and eat.
00:11:25 I have.
00:11:27 You won't fish without eating
00:11:30 Well, then you live a long time
00:11:36 Who...? Who gave this to you?
00:11:39 Martin. At the terrace.
00:11:44 Well...
00:11:45 ...I must be sure and thank him.
00:11:47 I thanked him already.
00:11:58 They had eaten with no light on the table,
00:12:02 The old man had talked to the boy
00:12:06 About the great DiMaggio
00:12:08 ... and about the other men on the team.
00:12:12 Tell me about the great John J. McGraw.
00:12:16 He used to come to the terrace sometimes...
00:12:19 ...in the olden days too.
00:12:22 His mind was on the horses, I think,
00:12:26 At least he used to carry lists
00:12:31 And frequently, he would speak
00:12:37 He was a great manager.
00:12:41 That's because he came here
00:12:43 If Durocher had continued coming here...
00:12:46 ...your father would think
00:12:50 Who is the greatest manager, really?
00:12:53 I think they are all equal.
00:12:59 Sometime I would like to take
00:13:02 They say his father was a fisherman.
00:13:05 Maybe he was poor like we are,
00:13:11 You ought to go to bed so that
00:13:15 I'll take these things back to the terrace.
00:13:26 - Good night. See you in the morning.
00:13:30 Age is my alarm clock.
00:13:32 - Sleep well, old man.
00:13:35 Good night.
00:13:38 The boy went out and the old man thought,
00:13:43 Is it to have one longer day?"
00:13:53 Then the old man rolled up his trousers
00:13:56 ... putting the newspaper inside them.
00:13:59 He rolled himself in the blanket
00:14:02 ... that covered the springs of the bed.
00:14:10 He was asleep in a short time...
00:14:12 ... and he dreamed of Africa,
00:14:30 He dreamed of the golden beaches and the
00:14:35 And the high capes
00:14:39 He lived along that coast now every night,
00:14:42 ... he heard the surf roar, and saw
00:14:56 He smelled the tar and oakum
00:15:00 ... and he smelled the smell of Africa that
00:15:06 Usually when he smelled
00:15:09 ... and dressed to go to wake the boy.
00:15:11 But tonight the smell of the land breeze
00:15:15 ... and he knew it was too early in his dream
00:15:18 To see the white peaks of the island
00:15:22 ... and he dreamed of the different harbors
00:15:28 He no longer dreamed of storms
00:15:32 ... nor of great occurrences
00:15:34 ... nor fights nor contests of strength
00:15:39 He only dreamed of places now...
00:15:42 ... and of the lions on the beach.
00:15:44 They played like young cats,
00:15:51 He never dreamed about the boy.
00:16:11 In the dawn, the old man simply woke...
00:16:14 ... looked out the door at the dying moon,
00:16:28 Then went down to wake the boy.
00:16:31 ... but he knew that he would shiver himself
00:16:47 The door of the house
00:16:50 ... and he opened it and walked in quietly
00:16:55 The boy was asleep on a cot in the room
00:17:01 He took hold of one foot gently
00:17:04 ... and turned and looked at him.
00:17:31 The boy was sleepy,
00:17:35 "It is what a man must do,"
00:17:41 They walked down the road,
00:17:44 ... barefoot men were moving,
00:18:35 How did you sleep?
00:18:38 Very well, Manolin. I feel confident today.
00:18:41 I do too.
00:18:43 I'll get the sardines. Be right back.
00:18:47 Have another cup. We have credit here.
00:19:02 The old man drank his coffee slowly.
00:19:05 It's all he'd have all day,
00:19:09 For a long time now, eating had bored him,
00:19:14 He had a bottle of water
00:19:17 ... and that was all he needed for the day.
00:20:04 Good luck, old man.
00:20:10 Good luck.
00:20:26 There were other boats going out to sea...
00:20:29 ... and the old man heard
00:21:28 In the dark, the old man could feel
00:21:31 And as he rode, he heard the trembling
00:21:35 ... and the hissing their stiff, set wings
00:21:40 He was very fond of flying fish, as they
00:22:02 He was sorry for the birds,
00:22:06 ... that were always flying and looking
00:22:23 He thought, "The birds have
00:22:26 ... except for the robber birds
00:22:31 Why do they make birds so delicate and
00:22:35 She is kind and very beautiful,
00:22:55 The sun rose from the sea, and
00:22:59 ... low on the water and well in toward
00:23:05 He always thought of the sea as la mar...
00:23:07 ... which is what people call her
00:23:11 Sometimes those who love her
00:23:14 ... but they are always said
00:23:18 Some of the younger fishermen spoke of her
00:23:24 ... but the old man had always
00:23:27 ... and as something that gave
00:23:38 "The moon affects her as it does a woman,"
00:23:52 Before it was light, he had his baits out
00:23:57 One bait was down 40 fathoms,
00:24:00 ... and the third and fourth were down
00:24:12 Then the sun was brighter and the glare
00:24:16 ... the flat sea sent it back to his eyes
00:24:20 ... and he rode without looking into it.
00:24:23 He looked down and watched the lines
00:24:28 Each bait hung head-down
00:24:31 ... tight and sewed solid.
00:24:34 All of the projecting part of the hook...
00:24:36 ... the curve and the point,
00:24:39 ... each sardine hooked through both eyes so
00:24:44 There was no part of the hook
00:24:47 ... that was not sweet-smelling
00:24:50 "I keep them with precision," he thought.
00:24:53 "Only, I have no luck anymore.
00:24:56 But who knows? Maybe today.
00:24:58 Every day is a new day.
00:25:02 It is better to be lucky,
00:25:05 Then when luck comes, you are ready. "
00:25:14 The sun was two hours higher now...
00:25:16 ... and it did not hurt his eyes so much
00:25:20 Just then he saw a man-o'-war bird.
00:25:27 He made a quick drop, slanting down on his
00:25:33 He's not just looking.
00:26:10 You will make a beautiful bait.
00:26:18 He did not remember when he'd first started
00:26:23 In the old days, he had sung
00:26:26 ... steering on his watch on the turtle boats.
00:26:29 He had probably started to talk aloud,
00:26:33 ... but he did not remember.
00:26:35 It was considered a virtue
00:26:39 ... and the old man had always
00:26:43 But now he said his thoughts
00:26:45 ... since there was no one they could annoy.
00:26:48 "If the others heard me," he thought,
00:26:51 But since I am not crazy, I do not care.
00:26:54 And the rich have radios to talk to them
00:27:04 Yes. Yes.
00:27:16 Then he felt something hard
00:27:20 It was the weight of the fish...
00:27:22 ... and he let the line slip
00:27:25 ... unrolling off the first
00:27:28 This far out, he must be huge in this month.
00:27:35 Eat them, fish. Eat them.
00:27:37 Please eat them.
00:27:40 How fresh they are...
00:27:42 ...and you down deep
00:27:48 Come on, now.
00:27:50 Make another turn.
00:27:52 Then eat them. Just smell the sardines.
00:27:55 Then there is the tuna...
00:27:57 ...cold and hard and lovely.
00:28:02 Come on, fish. Eat them.
00:28:04 Don't be shy.
00:28:09 He'll take it.
00:28:11 God help him to take it.
00:28:17 He can't have gone.
00:28:20 God knows he can't have gone.
00:28:25 Perhaps he has been hooked before,
00:28:32 He was just turning. He's going to take it.
00:28:35 What a fish!
00:28:37 Now he has it sideways in his mouth...
00:28:40 ...and he's going away with it.
00:28:44 As it went down, slipping lightly through
00:28:47 ... he could still feel the great weight...
00:28:50 ... though the pressure of his thumb
00:28:57 He's taken it.
00:29:00 Now let him eat it.
00:29:02 Eat it good, now, fish.
00:29:05 Go on, eat it.
00:29:07 Eat it until the point of the hook
00:29:12 ...then come up nice and easy
00:29:23 Now, are you ready?
00:29:26 Have you been long enough at table?
00:29:40 Now the fish was struck, and the old man
00:29:45 Now he should run with the line or jump
00:29:50 ... but nothing happened.
00:29:52 The fish just moved away slowly...
00:29:55 ... and the old man could not
00:29:58 His line was strong
00:30:01 ... and he held it until it was so taut
00:30:07 Then the boat began to move...
00:30:09 ... slowly off toward the northwest.
00:30:12 The old man leaned back against the pull.
00:30:16 The fish moved steadily, and they
00:30:20 The other baits were still in the water,
00:30:37 This will kill him.
00:30:40 He can't keep this up forever.
00:30:55 But four hours later, the fish was still
00:30:59 ... towing the skiff, and the old man
00:31:05 "What a fish to pull like that!" he thought.
00:31:08 "He must have his mouth
00:31:11 I wish I could see him only once
00:31:16 There was no land in sight now.
00:31:20 "I can always come in on the glare
00:31:25 It was noon when I hooked him,
00:31:36 I wish the boy was here.
00:31:50 I'm being towed by a fish,
00:31:54 "What I will do if he decides to go down,
00:31:58 What I'll do if he sounds
00:32:01 I'll do something.
00:32:07 I could make the line fast, " he thought,
00:32:11 I must hold him all I can and then
00:32:17 Thank God he is traveling
00:32:24 It was cold after the sun went down...
00:32:27 ... and the old man's sweat dried cold
00:32:33 "He didn't come up when the sun set,"
00:32:36 "Maybe he will come up with the moon.
00:32:38 If he does not do that, maybe he will
00:32:42 I wish I could see him.
00:32:43 I wish I could see him only once
00:32:48 Two porpoises came round the boat,
00:32:52 He could tell the difference between
00:32:55 ... and the sighing blow of the female.
00:32:58 "They're good," he thought.
00:32:59 "They play and make jokes
00:33:03 They are our brothers, like the flying fish. "
00:33:07 Then he began to pity the great fish
00:33:10 "He is wonderful and strange," he thought.
00:33:13 "Who knows how old he is."
00:33:17 Never have I had such a strong fish...
00:33:21 ...or one that acted so strangely.
00:33:24 Maybe he's too wise to jump.
00:33:28 He could ruin me with a jump.
00:33:32 Or one quick rush.
00:33:37 Maybe he has been hooked
00:33:39 ...and he knows this is how
00:33:47 He took the bait like a male.
00:33:50 He moves like a male.
00:33:54 There is no panic in his fight.
00:34:01 I wonder if he has a plan
00:34:08 I wish the boy was here.
00:34:19 The fish never changed his course
00:34:23 ... as far as the old man could tell
00:34:27 He felt the strength of the great fish moving
00:34:32 ... and he thought,
00:34:35 ... it had been necessary for him
00:34:38 ... his choice had been to stay
00:34:41 ... far out beyond all snares and traps
00:34:44 My choice was to go there and find him
00:34:48 Beyond all people in the world.
00:34:51 Now we are joined together
00:34:55 And no one to help either one of us. "
00:35:54 "I have lost 200 fathoms of good line
00:35:59 "That can be replaced.
00:36:01 But who replaces this fish
00:36:07 I don't know what the fish was
00:36:11 Could have been a marlin or a broadbill
00:36:16 I had to get rid of him too fast. "
00:36:37 "I wonder what he made that lurch for,"
00:36:41 "The wire must have slipped
00:36:44 Certainly his back cannot
00:36:48 ... and he cannot pull this skiff forever...
00:36:51 ... no matter how strong he is. "
00:37:05 "Please, God, let him jump.
00:37:09 Maybe if I can increase the tension a little
00:37:14 Let him jump so that he will fill the sacs
00:37:18 ... and then he cannot go deep to die. "
00:37:23 Fish, I love you
00:37:27 ...but I will kill you
00:37:34 A small bird came toward the skiff
00:37:38 He was a warbler
00:37:42 And the old man could see
00:37:49 Hey...
00:37:51 ...how old are you?
00:37:54 Is this your first trip?
00:37:57 Why are you so tired?
00:38:01 What are birds coming to anyway?
00:38:04 "The hawks," he thought,
00:38:07 But he said nothing of this to the bird,
00:38:11 ... and who'd learn about the hawks
00:38:14 It is all right, small bird.
00:38:17 You rest for a minute.
00:38:19 But then you must go in, and you must
00:38:23 ...and every fish and every bird must do.
00:38:29 I wish I could hoist my sail and take you in
00:38:34 ...but I'm with a friend.
00:38:52 Something hurt him.
00:38:58 You're feeling it now, fish.
00:39:03 And so, God knows, am I.
00:39:20 "How did I let the fish cut me with one pull
00:39:25 "I must be getting very stupid.
00:39:27 I better pay attention to my work.
00:39:30 And then I must eat the bonito
00:39:37 I wish the boy was here to cut up
00:39:44 I don't think I can eat an entire one. "
00:40:08 What kind of a hand is that?
00:40:20 Go on. Cramp if you want to.
00:40:22 Make yourself into a claw.
00:40:37 I must eat the bonito...
00:40:39 ...not to lose my strength.
00:40:43 Do not blame the hand.
00:40:47 And you have been a long time
00:41:23 How do you feel, hand?
00:41:25 Or is it too early to know?
00:41:31 Maybe it will open with the sun.
00:41:36 If I have to open it, I will open it.
00:41:39 Cost whatever it cost.
00:41:42 "God help me to have the cramp go,"
00:41:45 "Because I don't know what the fish
00:41:48 But he seems calm and following his plan,
00:41:52 What is mine?
00:41:55 Mine I must improvise to his
00:42:01 If he will jump, " he thought,
00:42:11 Hand. Come on, hand.
00:42:36 He's longer than the skiff.
00:42:43 Oh, he's a great fish.
00:42:56 Thank God they are not as intelligent
00:43:00 Although they are more noble...
00:43:02 ...and more able.
00:43:33 I wonder why he jumped.
00:43:37 It's almost as though he jumped
00:43:49 Bad news for you, fish.
00:44:04 It was getting late in the day now, and
00:44:09 The old man was suffering...
00:44:11 ... although he did not admit
00:44:18 I am not religious...
00:44:21 ...but I will say 10 Our Fathers and
00:44:27 I will also make a pilgrimage
00:44:31 That is a promise.
00:44:34 "Our Father, who art in heaven,
00:44:38 He commenced to say his prayers
00:44:41 Sometimes he would be so tired
00:44:45 Then he would say them so fast,
00:44:48 "Hail Marys are easier to say
00:44:54 The old man felt very tired, and he knew
00:44:57 ... and he tried to think of other things.
00:45:00 He thought of the big leagues.
00:45:02 To him, they were the gran ligas.
00:45:05 And he knew that the Yankees of New York
00:45:09 "This is the second day now that I do not
00:45:16 Then, to give himself more confidence...
00:45:19 ... he remembered the time
00:45:24 ... when he played the hand game
00:45:28 ... who was the strongest man
00:45:32 He was not an old man then,
00:45:37 He and the Negro had gone
00:45:39 ... with their elbows on a chalked line
00:46:04 There was much betting, and the odds
00:46:09 ... and they changed the referees
00:46:12 ... so that the referee
00:46:22 They fed the Negro rum.
00:46:25 Once, after the rum,
00:46:53 But the old man raised his hand
00:46:57 He was sure that he had the Negro,
00:47:01 ... beaten.
00:47:20 At daylight, when bettors were asking him
00:47:24 ... because they had to go to work
00:47:28 ... the old man unleashed
00:47:32 He knew that he had broken
00:47:36 ... and now he finished the bout
00:47:50 For a long time after that,
00:48:08 How do you feel, fish?
00:48:10 I feel fine.
00:48:12 My left hand is better.
00:48:15 Pull the boat, fish.
00:48:24 Just before it was dark, as they passed
00:48:28 ... that heaved and swung
00:48:32 ... with something under
00:48:34 ... his small line had been taken
00:48:38 ... and he had brought it into the skiff.
00:48:48 What an excellent fish dolphin is...
00:48:51 ...to eat cooked...
00:48:54 ...and what a miserable fish raw.
00:49:13 "I had better keep the fish quiet now
00:49:19 The setting of the sun
00:49:27 It was darker now, as it becomes dark
00:49:33 The first stars were out.
00:49:35 He did not know the name of Rigel,
00:49:39 ... and knew soon they would be out,
00:49:46 "The fish is my friend too," he thought.
00:49:49 Never have I seen or heard
00:49:55 But I must kill him.
00:50:01 I'm glad I do not have to kill the stars.
00:50:07 Imagine how it would be if, every day,
00:50:15 The moon runs away.
00:50:17 But think what it would be if, every day,
00:50:27 We're born lucky.
00:50:43 "It was half a day and a night, and now
00:50:50 If you do not sleep,
00:51:00 Rest now, old man.
00:51:05 Let him do the work.
00:51:10 Until it is time...
00:51:12 ... for your next journey. "
00:51:15 He lay forward, cramping himself
00:51:19 ... putting all his weight on his left hand,
00:51:23 He did not dream of the lions,
00:51:28 ... that stretched for eight or 10 miles,
00:51:32 And they would leap high into the air...
00:51:35 ... and return in the same hole they
00:51:39 Then he dreamed he was in the village,
00:51:41 And there was a norther,
00:51:44 And his arm was asleep because his head
00:51:48 After that, he began to dream of
00:51:52 ... and he saw the first of the lions.
00:51:54 And he waited to see if there would be
00:52:00 Then he dreamed of the whales
00:52:04 And of their mating too, and of their
00:52:28 The moon had been up for a long time,
00:52:31 And the fish pulled on steadily,
00:52:37 He woke with a jerk of his fist coming up,
00:53:02 This is what we waited for.
00:53:05 Now let us take it.
00:53:08 Make him pay for the line.
00:54:39 "I will show him what a man can do
00:54:53 The thousand times he had proved it
00:54:56 Now he was proving it again.
00:54:58 Each time was a new time...
00:55:01 ... and he never thought about the past
00:55:05 "If the boy were here, he could wet
00:55:09 "Yes, if the boy were here,
00:55:56 "Now he has jumped and filled
00:55:59 Now he cannot go down deep to die.
00:56:02 He will start circling soon,
00:56:11 Well, you didn't do so badly...
00:56:15 ...for something that is worthless.
00:56:22 Now I have done my best.
00:56:26 He will begin to circle soon.
00:56:29 Let the fight come.
00:56:40 The sun was rising for the third time
00:56:46 The fish was circling slowly,
00:56:50 ... and tired deep into his bones.
00:57:01 I could not fail myself now...
00:57:04 ...and die on a fish like this.
00:57:08 Now that I have him coming so beautifully,
00:57:14 I will say 100 Our Fathers
00:57:20 But I cannot say them now.
00:57:25 Please consider them said.
00:57:30 I will say them later.
00:57:35 For an hour, he had been seeing spots
00:57:38 Twice he had felt faint and dizzy...
00:57:42 ... and that had worried him.
00:57:44 Then suddenly, he saw a dark shadow...
00:57:47 ... that took so long to pass the boat
00:57:54 He can't be that big.
00:58:02 But he was that big.
00:58:09 He felt faint again.
00:58:11 "I moved him," he thought.
00:58:13 "Maybe this time I can get him over."
00:58:16 Pull, hands.
00:58:18 Hold on, legs.
00:58:35 "I must get him alongside this time,"
00:58:40 Next time I'll pull him over.
00:58:49 He tried it once more.
00:58:51 And he felt himself going
00:58:54 "I will try it again," the old man promised,
00:59:08 Fish, you're going to die anyway.
00:59:20 He took all his pain and what was left
00:59:25 ... and he put it against the fish's agony.
00:59:34 "I must get him close, close,"
00:59:38 "I mustn't try for the head,
01:00:16 Now I have killed this fish
01:00:21 Now I must do the slave work.
01:00:25 Get to work, old man.
01:00:36 The old man did not need a compass
01:00:40 He only needed the feel of the trade wind
01:00:43 He could see the fish.
01:00:45 And he had only to look at his hands
01:00:48 ... to know this had truly happened
01:00:52 "The hands cure quickly," he thought.
01:00:55 "I've bled them clean.
01:00:59 The dark water of the gulf
01:01:04 Then his head started to become unclear,
01:01:08 "Is he bringing me in,
01:01:13 They were sailing together,
01:01:16 And the old man thought,
01:01:22 I am only better than him through trickery,
01:01:27 They sailed well.
01:01:29 The old man soaked his hands in the water
01:01:33 He looked at the fish constantly
01:01:37 It was an hour
01:01:45 He was a very big mako shark...
01:01:48 ... built to swim as fast
01:01:56 Now he speeded up
01:02:00 ... and his blue dorsal fin cut the water.
01:02:04 When the old man saw him coming,
01:02:08 ... and would do exactly what he pleased.
01:02:21 It's too good to be true.
01:02:23 Might just as well have been a dream.
01:02:33 Mako.
01:03:21 Now my fish bleeds again,
01:03:28 It was too good to be true.
01:03:37 The old man did not look
01:03:39 ... since it had been mutilated.
01:03:42 When the fish had been hit,
01:03:47 "But I killed the shark that hit my fish,"
01:03:51 "He was the biggest dentuso
01:03:54 It was too good to last. "
01:03:56 He knew that each of the jerking bumps
01:03:59 ... had been meat torn away...
01:04:01 ... and that the fish now made
01:04:05 ... as wide as a highway through the sea.
01:04:12 He knew quite well the pattern
01:04:15 ... when he reached the inner part
01:04:17 ... but there was nothing to be done now.
01:04:20 "Yes, there is," he thought.
01:04:23 "I can lash my knife
01:04:28 "I should've brought a stone for the knife,"
01:04:31 "You should've brought many things,
01:04:35 ... of what you do not have. Think what
01:04:39 "You give me good counsel," he thought.
01:05:04 I am still an old man,
01:05:57 Come on, galanos!
01:06:01 Come on. Come on, galanos!
01:06:11 Come on. Come on.
01:08:49 I went out too far, fish.
01:08:52 No good for you, nor for me.
01:08:55 I'm sorry, fish.
01:09:25 I still have almost half of him left.
01:09:28 Maybe I will have the luck to bring
01:09:33 I should have some luck.
01:09:35 No.
01:09:37 No, you violated your luck
01:09:45 Don't be silly.
01:09:49 Stay awake and steer.
01:09:52 You still may have some luck.
01:10:00 I would like to buy some...
01:10:02 ...if there is a place where they sell it.
01:10:07 What would I buy it with?
01:10:09 A lost harpoon? A broken knife?
01:10:12 Two bad hands?
01:10:14 You might.
01:10:18 You tried to buy it with 84 days...
01:10:22 ...at sea.
01:10:23 They almost sold it to you too.
01:10:29 Must not think such nonsense.
01:10:34 Luck is a thing that comes in many forms.
01:10:39 Who can recognize her?
01:10:46 I wish I could see the lights of Havana.
01:10:51 I wish for too many things.
01:10:57 But that is what I wish now.
01:11:09 He saw the reflected glare of the light
01:11:13 He was stiff and sore now...
01:11:15 ... and his wounds and all of
01:11:21 He could not talk to the fish anymore,
01:11:27 Then something came into his head.
01:11:31 Half fish.
01:11:33 Fish that you were.
01:11:38 I am sorry I went out too far.
01:11:43 Ruined us both.
01:11:47 But we have killed many sharks,
01:11:51 ...and ruined many more.
01:11:56 How many have you ever killed, old fish?
01:12:01 You do not have that spear for nothing.
01:12:09 "What will you do now if they come
01:12:14 What will I do if they come in the night?
01:12:20 I'll fight them.
01:12:22 I'll fight them until I die.
01:12:25 "Oh, but I hope I do not
01:12:29 "I hope so much I do not
01:12:45 But he fought again, and this time
01:12:55 Come on.
01:12:57 Come on!
01:13:03 Come on.
01:13:22 Come on, galanos!
01:13:25 Come on, galanos! Come on.
01:13:32 Come on, galanos! Come on!
01:13:56 He knew he was beaten now,
01:14:04 I'm sorry, fish.
01:14:50 He could feel he was inside
01:14:53 ... and he could see the lights
01:14:57 He knew where he was now,
01:15:00 "The wind is our friend anyway,"
01:15:03 Then he added, "Sometimes."
01:15:05 "And the great sea with our friends
01:15:10 Bed is my friend, just bed.
01:15:14 Bed will be a great thing. "
01:15:18 It is easy when you are beaten.
01:15:23 What beat you?
01:15:26 Nothing. I just went out too far.
01:15:36 Man is not made for defeat.
01:15:41 Man can be destroyed,
01:15:56 It was quiet in the harbor.
01:15:58 And he sailed up onto the little patch
01:16:01 There was no one to help him.
01:16:04 He unstepped the mast,
01:16:08 ... shouldered the mast,
01:16:10 It was then he knew
01:17:37 He had to sit down five times
01:17:49 In the morning,
01:17:51 ... that the boats
01:17:53 And the boy had slept late and then
01:17:58 ... as he had come each morning
01:18:05 The old man was asleep,
01:18:16 And then he saw the old man's hands,
01:18:48 He went out to bring some coffee, and
01:19:04 Many fishermen were around the skiff,
01:19:09 And one was in the water, his trousers
01:19:13 ... preparing to take off
01:19:15 The boy did not go down.
01:19:17 He had been there before.
01:19:24 Martin.
01:19:26 A can of coffee with plenty of milk
01:19:28 What a fish that was.
01:19:30 There has never been such a fish.
01:19:33 Those were two fine fish
01:19:36 Never mind about my fish.
01:19:39 Does he want a drink of any kind?
01:19:41 No. If he does, I'll be back.
01:19:44 You tell him how sorry I am.
01:19:46 Thanks.
01:19:49 I'll get the coffee.
01:21:10 They beat me, Manolin.
01:21:14 He didn't beat you, not the fish.
01:21:18 Did you suffer much?
01:21:23 Now we'll fish together again.
01:21:26 No, no.
01:21:28 I am not lucky anymore.
01:21:31 The hell with luck.
01:21:36 - What will your father say?
01:21:43 We'll...
01:21:45 We will have to get a killing lance
01:21:50 It must be very sharp...
01:21:53 ...and not tempered so it will break,
01:21:57 I'll get another knife.
01:21:59 How many days of heavy wind have we?
01:22:03 Oh, maybe three. Maybe more.
01:22:07 I'll have everything in order.
01:22:09 You get your hands well, old man.
01:22:15 They will be all right in a couple of days.
01:22:19 I know how to care for them.
01:22:21 During the night, I spat up
01:22:24 I felt like something
01:22:29 Get that well too.
01:22:31 Drink your coffee. I'll get you
01:22:34 And... And bring me the papers
01:22:39 I will.
01:23:20 That afternoon there was a party
01:23:24 One of them looked down,
01:23:27 ... and dead barracuda, she saw the long
01:23:31 ... that was now just garbage
01:23:37 "What's that?" she asked the waiter.
01:23:40 "Tiburón," the waiter said. "A shark."
01:23:42 He was trying to explain
01:23:46 "I didn't know sharks had such handsome,
01:23:51 "I didn't either,"
01:24:00 Up the road in his shack,
01:24:04 He was still sleeping on his face, and
01:24:10 The old man was dreaming about the lions.
