The different personalities and values of the three comrades-in-arms in the film have led to their different lives in the future. The talented and charming Gianni finally became rich, but he was lonely; the fantasy-loving idealist Nicola finally proved his point of view, but lost his family; only optimistic Antonio, although he did not become rich, But got love and happiness. And the only heroine of the film, Luciana, as the object of the three people's common pursuit, connects the whole story. Luciana fell in love with Antonio at first, but then fell in love with the more talented Gianni at first sight. Who knew that Gianni married the daughter of a rich man for money and status, and the sad Luciana met again. Arrived Antonio and Nikola, and finally lived with Antonio after experiencing a series of things.
What I like most is the director Scola’s handling of the ending. Through Antonio and Nicola’s misunderstanding of Gianni (they thought Gianni’s life was not easy, in fact, Gianni has become a rich man). The comic effect of laughter and laughter, at the same time, it also brings out Gianni’s loneliness as a rich man. There are some joys and happiness in life that money can’t bring. When Antonio bought a cigarette and the three good brothers shared it equally, it was very It's hard to imagine how Gianni feels, because he can buy five of them at will. And when Gianni found out that Luciana, whom he once loved so much, was living a not rich and contented life with Antonio, he even felt his loneliness, and happiness was obviously getting farther and farther away from him.
From the perspective of the ending, the director’s outlook on life is biased towards Antonio. If Gianni is a representative of the bourgeoisie and can do everything for money and status, then Nicolas is an overly idealistic proletariat. The representative of, he can even abandon his wife and children for the sake of faith. Antonio is in the middle of the two. He neither blindly pursues money nor abandons survival for the sake of ideals. The most important thing is that he is optimistic and knows how to strive for happiness.
The biggest achievement of this film in terms of comedy is its integration with classic movies, whether it’s the scene of Nicola’s live performance of "Odessa Stairs" or the scene where Antonio and Luciana meet at the filming scene of "Sweet Life", They are all very classics. Of course, the most classic is the director's tribute to "The Bike Thief".
