class struggle

It is also a class conflict movie, how can I feel that the foreigner's movie is higher than the Chinese one. I am not the kind of person whose moon in foreign countries is rounder than that in China.

Two people born on the same day are destined to have completely different life experiences because of their different class status. An epic of friendship, love, and class struggle spanning half a century. The long narrative and scheduling ability in this historical context can only be described as breathtaking.

Some people think that a good movie is a good story first. A good story must be smooth and natural, and then express its own thoughts and give the audience something to think about. From this perspective, 1900 is undoubtedly excellent. So a five-hour movie doesn't feel long at all.

Personally speaking, 1900 is better than director Bertolucci's own last emperor.

De Niro's performance in the film has the feeling of being suppressed by Depardieu, but even so I think this film is the only film that De Niro has starred in that can compare with the American past.

    Bertolucci chose a rather coincidental point of view, the story of two people who were born on the same day but belonged to different classes, in two ambiguous and chaotic times before and after the war. The class difference is like a tearing hole, and the people below are always driven and called, and they cannot escape the cage all day long. The film that touched me the most was Alfred. He was "trapped", wrapped in selfishness and worldly desires and couldn't break free. "I have never hurt anyone." Saying this sentence, but not the slightest sympathy from others. In the chaotic era, he couldn't even make his own choices in the team. All he could choose was to imagine a complete family that would satisfy him in his mind. Is he a fascist? Yes and no. The final flashback to the horizontal track ends the whole film, not bad. @315min unabridged version

    The cast is almost all foreign actors, they don’t need to speak Italian to find dubbing, even Lao Luo, who speaks Italian and has won the Golden Man, has become an English lip language + Italian dubbing, seeing the heart to die at the end I have it, I can use English lip-correction subtitles... Aside from this big problem, I'm still not interested in historical films that are too ideological

    Alfredo Berlinghieri: Signora Berlinghieri can no longer drink at home because the wine is locked away. She can no longer drink in smart cafes because her husband has given orders against it. So she drinks in taverns.

    Alfredo Berlinghieri: [Quiet but furious] I'm going to have you locked up in an asylum.

    Ada Fiastri Paulhan: [Crawls under the table] I can drink here! I can even fall under the table. Nobody sees me anyway.

    Alfredo Berlinghieri: Get up from there. Get up. You look disgusting. Your face is all swollen from the alcohol, you stink. Get up!

    Ada Fiastri Paulhan: [Wanders to other people in the tavern] Do I disgust you too? Am I swollen? Do I stink?
