The lie of war that was blown up

The final and only film in Roberto Rossellini's "Post-War Trilogy" is set in post-war Germany, and the film was also shot in Germany. The film accuses the war, which not only plunges the people into starvation and poverty, but also distorts the psychology of children. The opening long shot shows the entire ruins of Berlin before the fall of the Nazis in 1945, which is as realistic as it is a trippy trip. In my opinion it is the best of the trilogy.

The darkest Rossellini, Berlin after the war was shattered, and the lingering spirit of Nazism was the beginning of everything. The spreaders were not soldiers, but teachers and radios. The last half hour shocked the scheduling, and the darkness was even worse than in "The Bike Thief". The impatient and powerful scenes followed the child's meaningless self-reflection, as he wandered around the streets of Berlin, and finally disappeared in the ruins.
