      Forgive me for giving one star

      It seems to say that this film is the second part of the post-war trilogy of master Rossellini. There are six short stories in it (I don't remember a few of them), at the beginning, an American soldier has a different language from the Sicilian mushroom. At the beginning, I was still looking forward to how the plot would develop. I didn't know that there was another story about a child stealing shoes and thought it was a sideline. . .

      The third story is a love tragedy. An American...

      Watch this film to understand the new realism

      A classic by Roberto Rossellini. Tells six short stories on the eve of the liberation of Italy throughout World War II. Rossellini's shots are not without choice for the real capture, but he only relies on the real content of the shooting to obtain logical connections to tell the story, so as to complete the reference of the film's narrative, rather than relying on montage to "create" a story. Fulfill the director's request. This depends on two points. First, the director has a strong focus...

      The Rossellini War Trilogy

      What is the difference between neorealism and documentaries, the daily life of news reporting? As an amateur fan, personal feelings and understanding.

      Documentary or our daily life actually has no focus. Just as I am on the subway at the moment, what I can see is reality, while neorealism films focus on the era or theme in the background of this reality. Characters and events, let the audience's attention follow the direction of the camera and follow the direction of the...

      Small comment

             Several representatives of Italian neorealism, I prefer Robert Rossellini, his realism has a strong poetic romantic mood, and it also reflects the director's sympathy and optimism about life. of mind.
          The war trilogy takes us into the battlefields of World War II from a different perspective. Especially in this war, from the perspective of soldiers, guerrillas, medical staff, children, priests, prostitutes, and civilians in these countries, we can see the cruelty of war and...

      The six episodes like the stories of black soldiers and orphans the most, showing sadness in humor and...

      The film uses a fragmented narrative method, with a total of six short stories taking place in six cities and regions in Italy. From six perspectives, it tells how the U.S. military and the local Italian people went from mutual misunderstanding to trying to communicate, and then cooperated with each other and finally lived and died together. The PS screenwriter is quite powerful, and Thomas Mann's son Claus Mann is also a member of the screenwriter. Rossellini seems to like the film more than...

      The trilogy is complete. The simple interlocking of short stories, the natural light in the middle and close range, the subtle emotions of people from every class in every city when the war comes, is very similar to Rome's undefended, the characteristics of new realism, no head and no tail, silent onlookers. But the story itself still has a bit of human warmth and...

      It's not easy to make such a real war movie the year after the end of World War II. The third paragraph and best to watch the other stories are not too...

      #DocumentaryPhoto# After reading it, you can get a general understanding of Italia's life in World War II. Using the method of documentaries (many precious historical materials, analogous to "India"), the marginal stories of six little people, about love, hate, faith, and war, also all It is related to American soldiers. As the second part of the "Post-War Trilogy", Rossellini's profound and humanistic philosophies have almost reached a peak in this film, but this is precisely the reason why...

    Movie plot

    The script of the film was jointly completed by the director and Fellini. There are six short stories in it, which show different aspects of Italy during World War II. The first story: American Joe is responsible for protecting a Sicilian girl, but her language and expressions are more unfathomable than The castle , so the two of them cannot communicate. The second story: A black soldier was stationed in Naples, and his shoes were...
