    The third of Rossellini's "Post-War Trilogy". The people’s lives were difficult and the teenagers’ psychology was distorted. Under the wrong guidance of his teacher, he killed his father and committed suicide. "Inflation took away my property, Hitler took away my children." In fact, he was criticizing the...

    Rossellini showed the rationality of the Oedipus complex under extreme circumstances (post-war depression), and the wandering and alienation of the child after the killing of his father showed infinite charm in the image. The dissatisfaction is mainly in the soundtrack. The part where the child feeds his father poison I thought it was watching a Hollywood...

    Four-and-a-half stars. As this is always implicated by itself, the image of man is always associated with all; therefore, realist works must first classify the environment as the environment of man, and then restore man to the person in the environment. . Rossellini’s trilogy continues to simplify the plot of the story and continue to increase the random factors in the scene and the irrelevant details of life, and use the natural attributes of humans to dissolve the metaphorical function of the...

    Follow Rossellini's lens to see the real Berlin after the war, in ruins. In the beginning, we faced the problem of excessive electricity consumption. In addition to a direct description of life’s material poverty and hardship, "power failure" also meant that the light had not yet arrived and the shadows were still there. Hitler's resurrection sounded from the ruined wall, which made people horrified. What is even more frightening is that the ghost of the Nazis has really been summoned, and they...

    The first reaction is not good-looking and real, but precious: this is a shock that only real-time shooting can bring, and such a rough and devastated texture is absolutely impossible to create. In other words, what the audience is watching is no longer a movie, but a naked "existence." Therefore, it is not so much that Rossellini is the dream maker of movies, it is better to say that he is the recorder of nightmares. The latter part of the children wandering in the immersive urban landscape...

    #A# The other side of new realism-unique observation points, real German ruins, the heads of state's speeches are like ghosts floating in the sky (it is obvious); father killing, confession, and adulthood occur at the same time more cruel war scenes They are all more shocking, and the unacceptable wandering alone after the killing of the father (also the least revealing of the child's heart) is more forceful than any accusation (especially walking away from the church and toy pistols); the...

    8.0 Only film authors with a firm stand can create such simplicity! The collapse of a small world, Rossellini places the audience among the ruins, let us think about what is buried in the ruins. 25min super five-star after the child killed his...

    The final chapter of Rossellini's "Post-War Trilogy". To convey anti-war and anti-Nazi ideas through child tragedies. The editing is coherent, the movement of the long mirror is smooth, and the people's cruel and difficult living environment after the war is embarrassing. The teacher who declared that the weak but the strong but the disagreeable was the representative of the unconscious people poisoned by Nazi ideology. Hitler gave a speech like a soulful speech. The little boy played a slide...

    #资料馆留影#The desperate movie is more like a black-and-white documentary. The quality of the restored version is unsatisfactory. The Italian Rossellini filmed post-war Berlin. The entire German dialogue is about the experience of an ordinary family in Berlin. There is hardly any hope. What makes the devastated city even more bleak is the extremely indifferent masses whose beliefs have collapsed after the war, as well as the teenagers who don't know where to go and live on the streets. The blindly...

    The darkest Rossellini, Berlin after the war was shattered, and the lingering spirit of Nazism was the beginning of everything. The spreaders were not soldiers, but teachers and radios. The last half hour shocked the scheduling, and the darkness was even worse than in "The Bike Thief". The impatient and powerful scenes followed the child's meaningless self-reflection, as he wandered around the streets of Berlin, and finally disappeared in the...

    human, too human

    Human, too human
    —if there is no kindness, everyone will be an orphan

    . Perhaps the phrase "God is dead" is not very pleasing, and even if you investigate it carefully, it has a bit of apocalyptic tragedy. These four words can't be more accurate to describe this film.
    "The First Year of Germany" is...

Germany Year Zero quotes

  • Herr Rademaker: Tell me the truth. What did you do with the money?

    Edmund: What money?

    Herr Rademaker: The money for the scale. Did you give it to your father?

    Edmund: I swear that's not true.

    Herr Rademaker: You're not going to cheat me, boy. I know you'll do anything for money. You got into my house ...

    Edmund: The housing superintendent sent us here.

    Herr Rademaker: Yes, and I have to put up with it. Your father is a pain, always complaining. Why doesn't he die and give us some peace?

  • Edmund: I have no work, and neither does Eva. My brother still won't report and get his card.

    Il maestro: I understand, but what can I do?

    Edmund: My father needs treatment. Can't you help me? What can I do?

    Il maestro: There's nothing you can do. Times are hard for everyone, worse for weak and old people. You've done all you can.

    Edmund: But what if he dies?

    Il maestro: If he dies, he dies. We all die sooner or later. Would you rather die yourself or let an old man live?
