From heavy, downstream, normal, the biggest advantage is safety, which is the guarantee of survival. . . .

10/10. A man from a dysfunctional family in Italy in the 1930s tries to become normal by joining the fascist trend of the times, but struggles between guilt and the desire to become normal after being tasked with assassinating an acquaintance (professor). Soon after the assassination, the fascists fell, and the male protagonist concealed his fascist identity, but he failed to integrate into the new social trend in the end. The motion of the film (various lenses such as push-pull, panning, lifting, etc.), composition, color, light and shadow, photography, etc. are all perfect. Specifically, on the one hand they are beautiful and elegant, on the other hand they are either emotionally "cold" (e.g. color, lighting) or out of touch with the emotions of the characters in the story itself. So it creates an atmosphere of "beautiful and empty indifference". And this kind of atmosphere is very much in line with the feeling of the characters and stories of this movie: they dress themselves up very delicately and try to fit into the mainstream, but they are just lifeless, drifting, and indifferent people. The movie has countless favorite clips, such as the blind confession, the cave metaphor, the Chinese restaurant, the hand-in-hand group dance and so on.
