A cut-scene from the Bulgarian movie "Khan Asparuh" (aka "681 - Glory of the khan"), the full Bulgarian version. The movie was made for the 1981 jubilee "1300 years since the creation of Bulgaria". It has absolutely no computer effects, all the actors are real!
P.S. Sorry for the bad resolution (much worse than the original video), but the clip had to go through at least three video conversions and I don't have the technology to make it better... "Subtitles": "00:57 -- 02:24 Khan Asparuh: May Tangra bring their spirits to him! No one has ever died in s
uch a great day for him... This soil from Old Great Bulgaria will remain here forever. The blood of my dead warriors wants it. People, years ago the great khan Kubrat decreed: "The Bulgarians must find a new homeland!" You have fulfilled his last wish. I, khan Asparuh, declare this land a Bulgarian
state! And may those, who come after us and bear our name, love it and protect it! I said. 02:30 -- 02:46 Belisarius: It was the year 6189 since the Creation of the World or 681 since the Birth of Christ. Two months later the emperor of Byzantium signed a peace treaty with the Bulgarians and was ob
liged to pay them tribute. 03:01 -- 03:34 Asparuh: After we have a rest tomorrow, our companies will set off, under your leadership, towards those strongholds where there are still some Roman forces. After tomorrow there shouldn't be a single Romean in the lands of our alliance with the Severi and
the Seven Tribes. That is the law of victory. Kniaz Slavun: What about us? Asparuh: You're going with my army, this is clear now. Slavun: It does not befit my years to kiss your hand, subigi. But I would ... 04:11 -- 04:46 Asparuh: You, Belisarius, should leave. I know how many things connect you w
ith me. Your whole life. But yet, after our alliance and common victory with the Slovenes, how should I say, they will become a part of us. And the Slavs have suffered heavily under the Romean violence. They won't tolerate any Roman among them. I don't want to see you stabbed or poisoned, Belisarius
. 05:16 -- 06:13 Belisarius: Ie, after all that has happened or not, subigi thinks that we should leave. Ie: Where? Belisarius: Where I came from twenty years ago. You are my wife, he -- my son. You should follow me, because I've taken the care for you in front of God. You wouldn't leave your home
without a father and a housekeeper. Would you, Ie? Ie: Belisarius, my dear, allow us not to come with you! You love us, I know, you only want the good for us. But the good for us is here. 06:58 -- 07:02 Asparuh: I will miss you, my friend... 08:05 -- 08:40 Belisarius: Lead me! Now I am the only li
ving witness... The human history has caused not only countless murders, but also not a little madness before the murder... 09:00 -- 09:28 Belisarius: The rarest human lot is the possibility to choose. And I did so. The first time -- to stay in a world I was thought to despise and hate. The second
-- not to help the human evil with my own hand, which would neither make it weaker, nor it would diminish. I just didn't give it my participation..."
