The work of the master is extraordinary

This kind of drift is not out of belief in the Nazis, but because of lack of belief, with a kind of mentality of survival, even if there is something to pursue, it is not firm and persistent. This is a role full of contradictions. Individual emotions are extremely vulnerable in the face of Nazi will and conscience in the face of evil and fear. The male protagonist comes from a disordered family and social order, and has always maintained an unconventional mentality. This kind of character chooses to be a fellow, deepening his mental distortion, so that the story goes crazy at the end. Like he said about his father, not a congenital mental illness. Bertolucci's films are always not satisfied with the storyline, and always express the emotion of life by narrating the story. The character's family background, inner struggle, desire and behavior,... have always been the elements of the master's film expression. The master is always not satisfied with the bland photography and montage expression. We can always see the wonderful use of light and shadow, the interweaving of different photography techniques, and the extraordinary arrangement of characters and scenes in his films.

    Interestingly, a communist described a fascist, made him fall in love with an anti-fascist activist, and finally killed him. In fact, this is a story of Salome's pure love. Camus actually wrote the actor. But in fact, the male protagonist doesn't know what he is being influenced by, he is so contradictory. There are too many metaphors, but the sound and pictures are more beautiful. Every screenshot of the train bridge shows the beauty of photography.

    I personally think that Bertolucci does not follow the route of traditional narrative coffee (narrative techniques and structure are worth studying, and the story is told in a loose and non-linear manner), but this will help the interaction between the viewer and the image. The lighting of the picture composition is amazing, amazing! The amount of information is huge, I have seen genres such as martial arts/romance/black/crime/ethics/politics and even absurd dramas.

The Conformist quotes

  • Professor Quadri: Clerici, you had me convinced you were the typical new Italian.

    Marcello: No such type exists yet, but we're creating him.

    Anna: Through repression?

    Marcello: No, through example.

    Anna: Giving him castor oil? Throwing him into prison? By torturing them? Blackmailing?

    Professor Quadri: Anna, please, dear, calm down. Clerici is a fascist. I'm an anti-fascist. We both knew. And we decided to have supper together all the same.

  • [after overthrow of Mussolini]

    Giulia: What are you going to do now?

    Marcello: The same as everyone else who thought like me. When there are so many of us, there's no risk.
