five

The five Locke brothers represent five phenomena.

Vincenzo: Boss, the first to break away from tradition and family.
Simon: Fallen.
Rocco: Saint.
Ciro: Now/hope.
Luka: Youngest, the future/hometown.

Simon has been falling, Rocco has been trying to save him, not hesitating to give to the woman he loves, and even signing a 10-year boxing contract to pay off his brother's debt.

In the end Simon killed the woman they loved together and was reported by Ciro.

Rocco completely lost hope and ran away from home.

Luka, the youngest in the ending, accused Ciro, and he said the following.

"It's unfair for you to say this to me. When I was young, we left home. Simon, not Vincenzo, made me understand that we are livestock in our hometown, busy working and obeying. He said that we are not slaves, and don't forget our responsibilities."

"In the end, he forgot all. And because of this, his ending is to ruin himself and make us humiliated. He hurts Rocco and hurts you."

"He has good instincts, but he let these disappear. He consumes Rocco's kindness and generosity. Rocco is a saint, but what can he do in this world? He will not protect himself, he is too forgiving. One cannot always forgive others."

I saw many people cursing Vincenzo said that he was irresponsible as the elder brother of the family, and in the end he was unwilling to take on Simon's debt with Rocco. But as an ordinary man raising his wife and children, how much can he ask of him?

In this cruel world, we all have to learn to pretend, if we expose everything to anyone, we will only hurt ourselves.

After all, it doesn't matter if you are a saint, a wicked person, or someone who has nothing to do with yourself. As long as you can accept yourself and live without any regrets, you should never judge other people's choices.

That's enough.

    Why did disc 2 put Visconti and Germany together? ? ? ps: This one is much more delicate and profound than Bai Ye. Uncle Wei really knows how to choose actors! Excellent acting skills! The part where Rocco and Nadia had a coffee conversation was wonderful! I watched it 3 times in a row~~ The second brother killed and went home was filmed like an opera~ Hahaha~ I really have no love for Bai Ye.

    Cut "Rocco Brothers" sharply and carefully to make "Cousins" look like. In fact, most of the film also shows the differences, contradictions and entanglements between Locke and Simon. Of course, it is understandable that the film is made like this. It is Visconti's identity and self-cognition barriers that cause the author's thinking and the pattern of the film to be limited to the line between saints and beasts. in the narrow gap. Cannibalism, a tragic drama that is not new in palace fighting dramas, is obviously unacceptable in a poor family. Although the film is about the friendship and wrestling between men, it is like "The Big Dipper". "The Rocco Brothers" of "The Fall" is a film about women. To be precise, this is a work about motherhood. The brother-in-law and the film's most intense drama are all about a woman who is "off the beaten track", a woman who is both quick-witted and eager to "live in the moment" for Visconti, who is haunted by the past and drawn to the future. This is the most striking and easily overlooked feature of his early works.

Rocco and His Brothers quotes

  • Ciro Parondi: Are you okay, Rocco?

    Rocco Parondi: Winning came easy, Ciro, because I wasn't fighting him, I was fighting someone who aroused hatred in me, this hatred that's been lurking inside without my knowing. It's a bad feeling. You can't imagine how bad.

    Ciro Parondi: How's that possible, Rocco? There's nothing bad in you. Come on, Rocco, cheer up! You're a champ. A real champion!

  • Ciro Parondi: Rest now. We'll settle everything tomorrow.

    Rosaria Parondi: Tomorrow? Tomorrow? There is no tomorrow.
