"The Incredible History of Rose Island", this Arabian Nights story turned out to be historical truth.

In the 1960s, specifically in 1968, engineer Giorgio Giorgio built his own 400-square-meter island with a good friend in the open sea not far from the coast of Rimini, Italy, and established the Republic of Rose Island. The spirit of freedom that exploded and the spirit of rebellion marching forward flew high on the flag of the Republic of Rose Island. At the same time as the end credits appear, photos and videos with real historical materials are shocking.

The ultimate ideal will collapse, this world will not allow the existence of the Republic of Rose Island. However, Georgiou and his Republic of Rose Island are unprecedented. Astonished.

There is a particularly interesting scene in the film: Georgiou and his partner are asked why they built Rose Island. Their answer: Do you know why a dog licks its balls? Because it can.

It must be mentioned that it is Elio Germano who plays Giorgio. I watched his movie "I Want to Hide" a while ago. The Italian "Van Gogh" he created and the legendary painter Antonio Ligapol made me stunned and unforgettable.

    The story of the dove people fighting against the dove country is unfortunately only told from the point of view of the common people. The criticism and ridicule of the political machine only stay on the two points of bureaucracy and the maintenance of the image of patriarchy. The latter has little real-political significance, not to mention that politicians stomping their feet out of obscurity, because at the national level, this is not simply an offense to authoritarian governance or national dignity. This kind of micro-state with little output will only cause The outflow of silver, the elimination of this kind of organization is just and right, ranging from taxing citizens returning from Rose Island, to blocking shipping, to military exercises in the nearby waters in the name of the Cold War, these means are not discussed by the government in the film. may also be invisible. From the character's point of view, Rose Island is too beautiful. The only dramatic conflict in it is the dispute over what kind of activities the German guy and the base friend are holding, so that the protagonist's rectal technical house image in the first scene is in the back two. The curtain can't be seen, it's worse than the tool man; the transformation of the ex-girlfriend and father is hard to break.

    "Why does a dog lick the balls, because he can." "Blowing up Isla Rose was the first and only invasion of the Italian Republic." "It doesn't matter, what matters is changing the world, or at least trying ." Only people who are very romantic and idealistic liberals can create such a lovely paradise, who doesn't want to go to such a land to have a spree when they are stressed? Why is Rose Island on fire, because everyone needs a Rose Island, even if there is only one platform and a five-story building. His story gave me a kind of surprise and revelation that "life can still be lived like this", and I feel that it will give me the kind of "I can actually be fearless" courage for a long time. Such a capable and brave person, such a lovely supporting character, such a humorous dialogue, such an Italian way of filming, and this is such a true history, enough for 5 stars.
