    Movies have pictures, which are more enjoyable than novels, but novels can give ten pictures, and if you give one movie resource, you will stumble. The so-called new realism, don't take it too seriously, or you won't understand the essence of Hollywood. The big scene of Gone with the Wind in 1939 is also the set, how about it? Rossini's heart may be there, the talent is second-rate. Aside from the camera, it's all so detached from the set, and the narrative structure and music (especially...

    The last paragraph was pushed forward layer by layer, breaking the heart and breaking the lungs. Edmund is a German, patriarchy and suicide, there is a kind of ignorant tragic and solemn in it. On the one hand, there is a lack of materials and life is embarrassing, and on the other hand, it is a severe trauma to the soul. Which one is deeper, or in other words, which one destroys us in the end? In the end, however, Edmund died, and Deutsche Year Zero had just begun. I think Rossellini still has...

    Rossellini's post-war trilogy, the second part of the Nazi brainwashing, fascism, and the reproduction of fascism is still partially used today by a certain party and a...

    In fact, there is already a shadow of Antonioni in the children's play, but the child who killed his father was replaced by a woman who was at a...

    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...

    An Italian director made a German film. The mighty Germany was also a defeated Germany. When the children played vinyl to the soldiers, there was Hitler's speech "Germany's future is infinitely bright!", and that agitation seemed to encourage everyone to come for him. The battlefield worked hard, but the camera immediately swept across a scene of bombed ruins on the street, dilapidated ruins, and a pair of inexplicable grandchildren, extremely ironic; pedophile teacher; Hitler's death group...

    I really just think it's okay, nothing special, the characters' expressions are dull, but I always feel that the last scene of the little protagonist wandering around has a similar meaning to that of Four Hundred Xia. Post-war barrenness instead forged...

    Rossellini is really changing, this film is not much different from Rome, Open City. The last paragraph of children wandering through the ruins is interesting. The soundtrack is devastatingly bad, unique to the US...

    It is the opposite of "The Bicycle Stealer". From the other side, we look at the life of material scarcity after the war. The distortion of people's hearts under poverty, even a 12-year-old boy is polluted. However, the plot of the remnants of fascism is very predictable! Italian neorealism is full of real compassion for the people at the...

Germany Year Zero quotes

  • Karl-Heinz: Who gave you money to buy cigarettes?

    Edmund: It was a gift.

    Karl-Heinz: From who? Those bad boys you go stealing with?

    Edmund: It wasn't boys. It was a girl.

    Karl-Heinz: You should be ashamed of yourself.

    Edmund: Why? Everybody does it.

    Karl-Heinz: That's not a reason.

    Edmund: Her name is Christl. She's all alone, and she sleeps in a basement. She's a nice girl. I like her. She gives cigarettes to all her friends. You should have a woman to take care of you.

    Karl-Heinz: A woman? That's all I need. Like this bitch of a life wasn't enough.

    Edmund: Don't talk like that! Have courage!

    Karl-Heinz: I had courage. A soldier can lose everything but his courage. But now I'm not a soldier anymore. I'm less than useless, another mouth to feed.

  • Il medico: His heart is very weak. His whole condition is bad.

    Edmund: With the cards we have, we can't get more

    Il medico: Yes, I know. It's the same all over. The best thing would be to get him into a hospital. But they are all more than full.

    Karl-Heinz: Couldn't we at least try, Doctor?

    Il medico: Cases worse than his have not been admitted.
