Movie The Shadow 4 (of 6)

   
   
In the mirror palace.
   
Scène mirror palace.
 

This scene I do not want to withhold you. When I watched this part of the movie for the first time, a while ago, I started to rememberer that I was a member of the crew.
I still get cold shivers and want to kill JW.
I have written these memories in chapter 38. When I wrote these stories, I was living during three months in a small hotel room just in front of “Le Gare du Nord” in Paris.
Below you find a part of this chapter. 

 

   
   
         
   

Story scene Empire State Builing and mirror palace. (Source: Chapter 38, not yet translated in English)
Trembling of anger, I proposed that I, instead of the sailor, should jump of the skyscraper.
On that moment, the man took a big black suitcase, with the letters RH on it, and walked to the elevator. In addition, JW gave the sign that they could start the scene.
On a bulge of the building, approximately hundred meters lower, you see and hear me, very clear, bumping. A deep sonorous sound of hard material that is falling on stones. One moment later another ‘ponk’ when I landed on the street. Very pleased about my well-done act, I stood up in a cheerful mood, ordered my clothes, and walked to the red carpet of the entrance of the skyscraper.
The hotel-porter came outside the building, took me by my arms and accompanied me to the entrance, direction elevator. I was totally unaware of the fact that he was carrying a big black suitcase. I walked inside the elevator and told him, very proud, that I just jumped of the tower. That I was still much exited about this act and was intend to do it once more. The man suddenly changed in the man who stood near the cameraman on the top of the building, jumped forwards to me, drugged me and put me, as I assumed, in the suitcase with the letters RH.

At the end of the movie, you can see a scene in a mirror palace. (Source: Chapter 13, not yet translated in English)
My proposal to accompany the shooting in the mirror palace had been rejected by all means.
‘Yes,’ told JW. ‘ We still remember very clear the incident in the mirror palace on a fair. You have told everybody that you had walked straight trough a wall of glass. First, there are no walls of glass in a mirror palace. This means that you can look straight trough a mirror. Second, you did not walk trough a mirror. You started to scream first and the mirror broke in thousand pieces. We know this, because we have imitated the occurrence. When somebody walks through a mirror, you are totally covered with pieces of glass. You did not have any piece of glass on your clothes. Moreover, the pieces of glass should have hurt you. You did not have a scratch.’
‘Do not be childish,’ I fainted. ’Let me have a look around the corner to see the mirror palace.’        
‘I hold you tied on your shoulders. I do not trust at all.’
On the moment that I put my head just around the corner, I saw myself reflected indefinitely. The infinite stretched herself in front of me. I started to become very excited.  This is the box of Pandora, I thought. Everything is possible from now on. Everything can happen.
In behalf of the extreme high tension in my body, I caused yet a small crack in the largest mirror. When JW saw this, he became very angry.
‘You see,’ he whispered sibilantly in a gay way. ‘It was stupid to give you the permission. Now, you start to become very annoying ’
‘ It is just a small crack and has no meaning at all. Nobody can see it.’
‘You,’ he shouted with a catch in his voice and started to beat me, while his arms became longer and longer. I really started to suffer mortal fears. In behalf of this my body changed in a split second in an electric current. His beatings went straight trough me. When he did not get help from somebody, who just came around a corner, it should be his end. Not that of me.
‘You came just in time. I do not have any more energy,’ I heard on the moment that I collapsed into thousand small pieces.
