    The late 1950s was both a period of rapid industrialization in Italy and a second revival of Neorealism. On the basis of neorealism, the film's expression can be said to be a genre between neo-Balzac and psychological reality. Compared with the early days, the characters also transitioned from a simple survival dilemma to a spiritual dilemma, and continued to dig the truth of life in the "industrial...

    Capturing the hesitation, embarrassment and humbleness of young people when they are agile and sluggish, a young boy who is just entering the workplace and a female colleague who joins the job at the same time, without any actual development, in eagerness, wait-and-see and bit-by-bit actions, it naturally disappears, and the work seems to is also like this. The male protagonist's performance is very good, overwhelmed and ready to move, all appear on his...

    In the first half, I thought it was going to be a "Milan Love Story", but the heroine is actually not the heroine... I really can't resist the Italian's tone of mourning and music. What is a youth film? Isn't this the best youth movie ever? The young man finally enters the society, and the pure and beautiful fantasy at the beginning will be shattered a little bit, but the narrative of this film is almost a line, without any attitude towards the society, no praise or criticism, you can see the...

    It was the first time I watched this type of film, and I was drowsy at first because of lack of sleep, but later became more and more awake. The male protagonist's eyes are so impressive, whether it's the overwhelm and composure in the workplace, or the disappointment and loneliness at the dance, they all resonate with me who is still looking for a job. The way of telling the story is also very restrained, there is no such coincidence routine, the appearance and intersection of all people are...
