Before the storm

In fact, I came for Helmut Berg, but when the movie progressed to the chalet looking at each other, I was hit hard, and I didn't slow down until the end. Goodbye, cruel youth, goodbye, Feniz Garden.


Why do all the comments you can see criticize this film? In fact, I think a very good movie. At the beginning, I coveted the beauty of Helmutberg. The more I watched, the more I liked this style: the light and shadow interlaced lens, the hazy veil-like picture feeling, moving heart. The soundtrack, the youthful and handsome actors and actresses, even the uncles are so beautiful, not to mention the soy sauce enchanted Berger, his fragile appearance in the movie makes me feel really heartbroken again.



Is there any love between the hero and heroine? Especially the heroine, is it love, or is it "like a big brother" as she said to herself? Or somewhere in between? I struggled for a while, and then I disagreed with the argument of empathy. I think they have love for each other, but because of current events, Mikou wanted to marry a non-Jewish descent to change his blood, and was accepted by reality. That’s why she had the choice afterwards. She couldn’t even talk about these hidden secrets. Even I can't face it directly, so that's why I have the awkwardness of hesitating and stopping. In fact, I really like this role. The sad youth is bestowed by cruel reality. What's more, the actress (Dominique Sanda) who plays Mikou, her beauty and elegance deeply touched me. This kind of thing belongs to the last century. The nobility and beauty of her are basically monopolized by French women.




"In life, in order to understand, in order to really understand the world, you must fail at least once. It is best to fail when you are young. There is still time to recover and live again. When you are old, everything is gone. Our life has been committed. With so many mistakes, after a few months, you will seem to have nothing happened. You may be happy in the end, and you will feel richer and more mature."-Very good, a sentence that can often be thought of, used to comfort Own.





I don’t think this film has failed to include the works of the Olympic Games and the Golden Bear Awards. It may be related to my personal aesthetic orientation. I just like the things whose form is greater than the content. What’s wrong with the beauty at first glance?


For such a work that pursues a change in style, Desica only retains his brand of neo-realism master in certain points, and is generally on the same level as Visconti’s gorgeous later period. This is what he learned from Visconti borrowed Berg's reason, or the result?


Although it did not reach the "extreme beauty" made by Visconti, it was for the golden sun and blue sky at the beginning of the movie, for the tearing music at the end, for the empty shots of the ancient city of Fife, and for the Feniz Gardens. For the sake of independence, I still want to keep this film on my hard drive for a long time for the beautiful faces of Miss Sunda and Mr. Berg.

    The walls of the manor cannot stop the wind and rain of life, and youth slowly withers in the blooming flowers of the morning light. I have seen many such works that highlight the tragic fate with warm colors and forbearance. It is still difficult to be convinced by Okuwai and the Golden Bear. Public

    Italian fashion film, with pale characters and mediocre stories, Uncle Berg's role can only be called a vase

The Garden of the Finzi-Continis quotes

  • Giorgio's Father: In life, in order to understand, to really understand the world, you must die at least once. So it's better to die young, when there's still time left to recover and live again.

  • Micol: You and I are not normal people. For the two of us, what counts more than the possession of things - how shall I put it - is the remembrance of things, the memory of things.
