I don't know if we should understand the world through the telling of the film - sometimes directors make us laugh when we watch tragedy and cry when we watch comedy - the world of light and shadow can make us feel unreal. These two films are examples of this: it was clearly a Jew who was surviving in the slits of death, but evilly made me laugh
from beginning to end, and even the title of the movie stubbornly became "Life is Beautiful"; The sun, however stingy, did not reveal the hope of rebirth until the end of the film, and the indifference made
me still haunted by the disproportion between pain and joy.
"Life is Beautiful", with smiling tears
Guido and friends came to Rome from the countryside to make a living. Rome has Guido's uncle who runs a restaurant to help them.
As they drove to Rome, their classic car dashed past the welcoming crowd in front of the king's procession, inexplicably stealing the show because the brakes failed. Guido just felt happy. Perhaps in his opinion at the time, it was just a fun thing for the Jews to pretend to be the holy king.
When he slyly stole the inspector's sash, came to the elementary school where "Princess" taught, and asked her like no one was going to spend the weekend, but was invited by the principal to the stage to do what he, the inspector, wanted to do. In his speech "The Germanic Race is the Best Race in the World," Guido joked about the fascist frenzy after stealing the King's tour with a car with a broken brake in the opening credits. Perhaps in his opinion at the time, such a speech topic itself was ridiculous.
When his uncle's white horse was painted bright green, with "Be careful, Jewish horse" painted in bright red, Guido still used his almost stubborn optimism to joke with his uncle, who told him to be careful: "Why, do they still To paint me green and write 'Be careful, kosher waiter'?" Perhaps in his mind at the time, such a thing could never have happened.
When the principal of the school taught by "Princess", a middle-aged woman who never forgets to express her nobleness and intelligence, at "Princess"'s engagement banquet, she couldn't wait to point out the difficulty of elementary school math problems - calculating the energy of killing the disabled. How much money was saved for the country should have to wait until the kids were in middle school - but inevitably revealed that he was invincibly bad at math, as "The Princess"'s fiancé pointed out that multiplication was fine, and Guido rode painted The green Jewish horses paced up to the table as if they were marrying their own brides, taking away the "princess". Perhaps he was over-excited to see the "Princess" and didn't hear the conversation between the smart and the stupid about the carnage.
When the street was covered with warning signs saying "Jews and dogs are not allowed in", the pure and transparent son asked why everyone didn't like Jews, Guido easily told the child that everyone has their own preferences, and you don't like spiders , well, we also put up a sign in front of our bookstore to keep spiders out. At this time, Guido has been taken by the gendarmerie many times, and he has long understood that things are far worse than all his predictions. But how can you tell a son who knows nothing of all the sorrow or evil in the world? Perhaps he still believes that such a bad situation will soon pass, because he wants his son to have a full childhood.
So he designed concentration camps as a wonderful game for his son. It's hard work, but the reward is great - tanks! So at the end of the game they - he won the tank.
Without Guido. During the massacre before the German retreat, Guido ventured to find his "princess", only to be found by soldiers. Guido dexterously escaped and hid, but the searchlight did not let him go. Drag over and shoot! said the officer. The son hid in the iron box in the corner, giggled with his big black crystal eyes watching his father disappear behind the wall - Guido threw off his hand and walked on the hilarious way he had straddled when he was taken away by the gendarmerie before. stride.
Clever screenwriter - Guido was frightened on the street by the key thrown by the woman upstairs, and later was able to call to this Maria's key to open the "Princess"'s heart; the son refused to take a bath at home and escaped in the camp Toxic gas bath: little care, every detail. In front of the tense gas bathroom, the old man who was about to die helped the female soldier who had almost tripped over, holding a leather whip tightly in her hand, naked. Then she added the contrast between good and evil. A former friend, Dr. Li, who always racked his brains and couldn't guess the riddle, seemed to have no idea about the dangers Guido and the others were facing in the concentration camp—could it be that he accepted Hitler's creed, the best servant ever. Ying is actually just a mouse and a cockroach - so why is it that he has taken the risk of the world to ask this inferior person a puzzle: this character is not only contradictory, but also cowardly.
Simple narrative technique - even the romantic red carpet scene in the rain just uses the top and bottom shots needed for the scene. But the picture is delicate, and the strong color contrast inside and outside the camp touches people's hearts - life outside the camp is free, romantic, elegant, full of laughter and bright and colorful. However, these bright and cheerful, gradually become silent, and finally came to an abrupt end in the "Death Train" scene. There is only a faint yellow halo that makes people almost suffocate. Even though the "Princess" was dressed in red, she couldn't break through the breath of death conveyed by the dim yellow. Concentration camps are always dark - whether or not the ashes from the burning of Jewish corpses cover the sky. In addition to the flames burning on the site where he built his tomb, it was the swirling cold and pitch-black bullets. - This is hell.
"Marlene", smiling with tears
Marlene is the most beautiful woman in Sicily, and therefore the most coquettish. Almost all Sicilians think so. The women glared at her, worried day and night that she would seduce their husbands; the little girls avoided her for fear of being contaminated with her fascination; men, young and old, coveted her. When met intentionally or accidentally, she is polite but can't hide her greed; when she doesn't see her, she is a natural object of lust.
But since everyone thinks you are coquettish, then you are. As soon as you received the news of your husband's death, you pissed off your father with indiscretion. The lascivious lawyer defends you, and you let him get his wish. You can't make a living without your father, so you sell your sex for bread. You finally cut your long black hair short, dyed it blond, and walked into the brothel shamelessly. There are more Germans in your bed when German troops are stationed here. This is the life of the sinful Malena in the eyes of the Sicilian.
But in the eyes of the young Renardo, Malena's life is not like this. Leonardo's experience was not glorious - he was just a voyeur, but he saw the truth.
Marianne is not coquettish. Her aging father was a teacher, ignorant of the teasing of her students; her beloved husband was a soldier, who did not know his due date in the blood of the battlefield. She sincerely loves, waits for her husband, and lives quietly. Although the lawyer who defended her in court was scheming, she told the truth that everyone knew - because she was so beautiful, everyone wanted to harm her.
The German troops left, and it was time for Marianne to be punished. So she was driven out of Sicily. When the lucky surviving husband returned to Sicily, he was greeted by empty walls and gossip. The story seems to be coming to an end here - if he sees the real Renardo, he will still be a bystander and will not tell him where Malena is going.
Malena returned to Sicily. In the vegetable market in the morning, a word of greetings annihilates enmity and enmity. The women still don't know it - "You have to go back to the local area to wash away the shame." They said, as if the shame was Malena's personal.
