An Italian black road movie, two characters with completely different personalities encountered one life situation after another on the road. Bruno, a ruffian, is impulsive, frivolous, lecherous, and good at picking up a conversation, while law student Roberto is disciplined, restrained, Bad words. In the two experiences, the reaction to all classes in Italy is like watching flowers at a glance. At the end of the mutual adaptation, Roberto's accidental death in a car accident is a blow to Bruno, and it is also the death knell for a life that seems to be comfortable but actually corrupt.

Our so-called life is after the opening and before the ending, there are hesitations and fears behind everyone who did not even pay attention to themselves, between bliss and sadness. If you already know the ending, will all the giving up and perseverance be the same every time, and is it worth it? An Antonioni-esque solitude and alienation, fortunate or unfortunate fate, lies behind a comedy journey that is never sleepy. We're just what we are.

Four and a half stars, I had a glimpse of the leopard in Dino Lisi's "Speeding" in Teacher Pan Ruojian's book, and I finally got to see it today. The dangers of replacing the old with the fast-growing consumer age of post-war Italy are exposed in the shell of a road film. One of the two protagonists is the decline of traditional society and the other is the rise of hedonism. Speeding (get rich mentality) and the ending it brings hit the nail on the head.

Bruno Cortona: [singing] I took her down to the river thinking she was a maiden, but she had a husband.
[Speaking]
Bruno Cortona: I know that one by heart. I played it all the way to Rome. What's it called again? "The Unfaithful Wife." By that Spaniard who's sort of that way -...
[tugs on his ear]
Roberto Mariani: Garcia Lorca
Roberto Mariani: Ah, you have that record too?

Bruno Cortona: Put this one on. Its Modugno. Poetry doesn't do much for me. I like music. This song's really great. Mystical. Really gets you thinking. Ah, music. I really like Modugno. This song really drives me crazy. It seems so simple, but it's got everything - - loneliness, inability to communicate, and that stuff that's all the rage now - - alienation, like in Antonioni's films. Did you see "L'eclisse"?
Roberto Mariani: Yes
Bruno Cortona: I fell asleep. Had a nice nap. Great director, Antonioni. I saw him in his Flaminia Zagato once. I couldn't stop gawking.
