The whole movie is clearly a sad story. A group of peasants who have been deceived and exploited in the deep mountains, after being rescued to the city, still live at the bottom of the society, robbing, cheating, and picking up garbage. Lazaro is a sluggish man, seemingly ignorant of all the pain, the happiness. In the deep mountains, everyone calls him all the time, and when he is sick, he is despised by everyone. In the city, he has an extra "mouth" and can't work, and is still despised by people. In the end, Lazaro wanted to return the confiscated property to the bank for his "brother", but was beaten to death by everyone.

    Four-and-a-half stars, the main competition has seen the most surprise now, and I hope that one of the three awards can be selected. Whether it is the form, image, theme, performance, actor selection, all aspects are very outstanding. The retro feeling shot by 16mm, the natural scenery of the countryside, the male protagonist with his own aura, the contrast between the city and the countryside, and the inadvertent surreal part. All make this film very rare, a naturalistic style, quiet and comfortable.

    Lazaro looks like Harry Potter and Frodo, it's a bit of a drama... hee hee

Happy as Lazzaro quotes

  • Marchesa Alfonsina De Luna: Human beings are like animals. Set them free and they realize they are slaves locked in their own misery. Right now, they suffer, but they don't know. I exploit them, they exploit that poor man. It's a chain reaction that can't be stopped.

  • Marchesa Alfonsina De Luna: He who knows himself well is humbled in his own presence. And the praise of other men provokes no pleasure. If I were to know everything in the universe and scorned the charity who would bring me the grace of God? Who would judge my actions? One should go beyond the thirst for knowledge that is the root of distraction and disappointment.
