Novecento

The director has a strong desire to express, and what it contains is very complex: from the individual to the group, from simple thinking to ideology, from the natural environment to the spiritual world, from farming civilization to modern society, from children to old age, from family to love……. The upper and lower two parts are nearly 6 hours, I don't think it is long, and it is richer than some N parts. The modern center-right Italian group represented by Ni 㑩, the far-right modern Italy represented by Sutherland (his sins in the movie are much worse than those who lose weight and win awards), and Depardieu represents The bottom peasants of the left wing (it's really artistic and practical to ask a Frenchman to play the left wing), in them you can see that "Nazis" are like cancer, and XXism (which gives me the feeling, no matter how complicated the director is) Emotions) is spread like "HIV" and devours and afflicts all people.... Whenever the movie describes the people at the bottom and the good old days, the melodious soundtrack will remind you of it, and the use of long shots, soft lighting, and the combination of characters and environments will often be "beautiful", but After about an hour of free time, I seemed to think that the people at the bottom were so kind and ignorant, without any long-term goals and without any sustainability (look at Italy now). And when the rich people of the "upper society" are described, they are extremely ugly, cruel, depraved, exaggerated, and decadent, as if they are the source of most evils. . . . In a way it's a thankless work on both sides, but it's this intricate controversy that makes this film great.

    Standard epic, too classy, ​​Morricone's soundtrack is too recognizable

    1. Completely surrender to the light and shadow of the camera and the scene scheduling. It is a blockbuster. 2. The history of the country has always been promoted by the contradictions between different classes. It is a blessing to be able to enjoy such a film, which is all-encompassing. The director does not need to prefer which position, and the audience has a choice in their hearts.

  • Leo Dalcò: Maybe the truth is that when a man does nothing all his life, it leaves him too much time to think. And thinking too much makes him... makes him stupid.
