    The overall look is a more meaningful movie. . From the current point of view, the movie itself is not particularly good to watch, because China itself has made too many classic movies of the Anti-Japanese War. The subject is familiar. But undefended cities are better at showing their original state. But in terms of film history. . This is indeed a great movie. . In particular, Ingrid Bergman was attracted to run away with the director. . It can be seen how groundbreaking this film was for...

    #SIFF#【Rewatch】No matter when I watch it again, no matter how bad the subtitles are, the simple and noble light of this group of people will always make me almost unable to look directly and feel deeply...

    I like the priest the most, especially in the last scene. I really see death as if it were my home. "It is not difficult to die well, but it is really difficult to live...

    8.2 The pioneering work of neorealism, although rough, is more important in the real presentation. The priest made people cry, "It is not difficult to die well, but it is difficult to live well", and prayed until death, "God, please Forgive them." In him, there is humanity that ordinary people have, but also divinity that ordinary people do not have, which is shocking and...

    The first Rossellini. Screenplay by Fellini. Reducing the political symbolism theme of "Communists are not afraid of fascism and stubbornly resists" is delicate and multi-level, which really refreshed my understanding. Does the evil of war deny the power of religion? Has an enemy stronger than fascism turned against the nobility of his blood and the meaning of war? The war has questioned politics, religion, and people. The group of children at the end is regarded as propensity. PS: The Mandarin...

    The Father's Arrival Prayer has been recited. Someone must die. The wedding has become a funeral. God has been watching the death of a beloved father at the cost of losing a beloved mother,...

    He will definitely recruit! If he doesn't, he doesn't, if he doesn't, it means that an Italian is no worse than us Germans. That is to say, there is no difference between the blood of a slave nation and the blood of an excellent nation. What's the point of us waging war? Twenty-five years ago, in France, I executed a shooting. I am a young officer. I also thought we were an excellent nation, but the love of...

    It's a little boring, the records of that era seem to have a documentary feel to the narrative, and the first half doesn't seem to have too many climax points, focusing on realism. Later, I thought this was one of the characteristics of...

    Rossellini's masterpiece, won the first Cannes top prize, the beginning of Italian neorealism. The film was adapted from a real prototype and was filmed under extremely limited funding and technical conditions. In addition to the actual shooting, natural light, non-professional actors and other formal techniques, the film editing has a clear sense of jumping, and the structure still has many characteristics of Hollywood melodrama, but the authentic and simple atmosphere is enough to move...

    This movie does not seem exciting today. To put it bluntly, it is not much different from our authentic battles with Dong Cunrui after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The same revolutionary spirit of Jiang Jie is displayed and exaggerated, but it is a new reality. Doctrine adheres to a certain kind of objectivity, or on the sidelines. The characters and plots try their best to strip away the seditious delusions of great hatred and hatred, but the biased purpose of the emotions...

    All roads lead to Rome, the undefended city

    "All roads lead to Rome, the undefended city," said Godard, in an Italian proverb.

     

    What Godard is saying is that when we think about modern cinema, we always go back to the definition given by this source film by Roberto Rossellini.

     

    "Rome Undefended" was not only a milestone in Italian cinema,...

    Rome - an undefended city - a memorable storyline with vivid characters

    The video is wonderful. A year before the end of World War II, Mussolini fell and Hitler occupied Italy. The Italian Communist Party headed by Togliatti united patriots of all classes to form the National Liberation Front and launched an arduous struggle against the German occupiers. The film...

Rome, Open City quotes

  • Marina Mari: Yes. I've had lovers. Of course. What was I supposed to do? How do you think I bought all the furniture, my clothes, everything? With my pay? It's barely enough for stockings and cigarettes. I've gotten by like every other woman. That's life.

    Giorgio Manfredi aka Luigi Ferraris: Life is what we want it to be.

    Marina Mari: Words! Life is filthy and brutal.

  • Marina Mari: I know what poverty is and it scares me. Sure, I could have married a streetcar driver and be starving to death today - me, my children and him.

    Giorgio Manfredi aka Luigi Ferraris: Poor Marina. You think happiness means a fancy apartment, nice clothes, a maid, and rich lovers?

    Marina Mari: If you'd really loved me, you'd have changed me. But you're just like all the others - no, worse. At least they don't preach to me.

    Giorgio Manfredi aka Luigi Ferraris: You're right. Forgive me.
