    The scheduling and use of the shots are very strange, creating a sense of realism in chaos and order, and the rhythm of the narrative itself has a feeling of marching, forcing people to maintain a sense of tension at all times. The alternation of day and night makes the progress of the plot have a stable structure, and the constant transformation of the protagonist's position also reflects all aspects of the event...

    A paradise separated by a wall, an unreachable dream. The bitterness of the little people reflects the confusion in the big era. The director exposed the conflict between the revolutionary ideal and reality faced by the Italian society at that time with the change of the mental state of the working class, and finally returned to the helpless reality of mediocre...

    Bring out the power that the cinematography, acting and soundtrack can bring to the film. Successfully capturing the figurative relationship between machines and the working class, this style of photography looks incredibly...

    Crowds, the relationship between workers and machines, the contingency of political movements, the blind obedience of students, thinking about socialism, and the impact of television entertainment on families can be interpreted in many ways, but the whole is not organic. The photography is great, but the editing is mediocre. After all, it was the Palme...

    8.5, great, the noisy and noisy atmosphere of the whole movie has set the tone for the so-called combative nature of the movie, but the director did not give up reflection because of this. The image of the confused workers is very controversial and worth pondering, especially at the end. The dialogue about the wall is very intriguing. I think to a certain extent it can be said to be a sublimation of neo-realism...

    Comparing "Working Class to Heaven" to the prison drama "The Solitary Chamber," James Roy McBean offered a "shrill" description of factory work, citing "the factory is a...

    I only recently discovered the director Elio Bedoli. If Yang Dechang’s film is the scalpel of Taiwanese society, Bedoli can also be regarded as an Italian surgeon and a psychoanalyst; the content of the film is far more "Humans" are more; the lower classes fight each other for a living, different doctrines bring differentiation and suspicion, schizophrenia caused by changes in the situation, lucky or moderate people may never understand Lulu; the instrumentalization of people, the prison nature...

    Some problems are inherently unsolvable, such as the external class antagonism, the internal loneliness dilemma, how many political programs, how many novels, how many movies can not cure the fundamental human...

Lulu the Tool quotes

  • Lulù Massa: I'm gonna speak now. I don't know how to call you: gentlemen, workers, friends, comrades... I'm gonna speak on the mic. The students out there, say that when we enter is dark and when we exit is dark another time. What kind of life is it? This is routing, but since we are here, why don't we do twice task-work, working in Sundays too, we can enter in the night, with our children and our women. The children works there. And our women put the food in our mouth, so we can work twice, keep running and on and on, for some lire more, and live our life here, working till death. And we'll leave this hell to go to another hell...

  • Lulù Massa: I supported the task-work. Followed the politics of the union. I worked for productivity and I was working, and keeping with the production. And now I transformed myself into a beast, a beast, a real beast! And the students say we are like machines... they say that I'm a machine, a pulley, a screw, a piston rod, a transmission belt, they say that I'm a pump, a broken pump and there's no way to repair that pump. I suggest to stop working right now. All. And who does not stop to work right now is a scab and a fucking asshole!
