00:00Is there any connection between the two things?
00:03Like I was thinking, the dictatorship in the era of technical reproduction.
00:09Because the sound was strongly increasing the power of the dictators.
00:18I have never been asked that before.
00:21What a good question.
00:22Thanks.
00:24I think you're right.
00:26And it's impossible to imagine Mussolini without his voice.
00:33It's impossible to imagine Hitler or Franco or Salazar.
00:39They were speakers.
00:41I think, interestingly, Mussolini was a visual thinker.
00:45He understood the power of the image.
00:47I don't think Hitler did.
00:49That's why he needed Lenny Riefenstel.
00:51I don't think Franco did.
00:53I certainly don't think Salazar did.
00:56So you're quite right.
00:57The power of voice in fascism, I think.
01:05And, of course, Mussolini spoke several languages.
01:08So I think that is a very important point you make.
01:12When sound cinema came along, when the silent period ended, it amplified the voice of the fascist.
01:21I thank you so, so much.
01:23You were great.
01:24You were wonderful.
01:26And I love your work.
01:27Grazie mille.
