Can Dialectics Break Bricks?

Here's an excerpt from Rene Vienet's 1973 film Can Dialectics Breaks Bricks?

Vienet's film is a reedited version of Doo Kwang Gee's "The Crush", overdubbed with new satirical dialog.

The dialog centers on a proletariat who has to choose revolutionary violence, over reformist nonviolence to end his alienation, and the abuses of state power.

Untitled Scene

Interior /Gun Shop: (Untitled Scene)

Clerk) This is a Walther LP3 177 cailber single action hand pump gun.
It loads in pellet at a time .
It shoots accurately for 50 ft.
It’s the most powerful dart gun we have,
You can use it to administer tranquillizers. Ketamine, GHB, Nembutal, whatever you want.

Detective) Good.

Clerk) (speaking slowly and deliberately) Now, you got to hold this baby with both hands.
Let her down slow and steady ….
You got to squeeze the trigger…. Don’t jerk it…. cause if you jerk it… it won’t work.

The Clerk hands the gun to the detective

Detective) (Speaking as if to imitate the clerk and slowly training the gun on a target.)
You got to hold the baby with both hands.
Let her down slow and steady ….
You got to squeeze the trigger…. Don’t jerk it….. cause if you jerk it… it won’t work.
