      Robert De Niro and Gerard Depardieu in '1900'

      The epic film "1900" (1976), directed by Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci, has deeply moved us. At the beginning of the 20th century, in the countryside of northern Italy, the son of a landlord and the son of a poor peasant were born on the same day. The poor peasant's son was still an illegitimate child. The two were very close, but the mark of class antagonism was deeply engraved in their later life. in the years of life. The son of the...

      the director said

      "1900" is arguably the most ambitious epic in film history. It depicts a series of historical events and vividly reflects the vicissitudes of Italy experienced throughout the first half of the 20th century. It is like a magnificent historical picture, showing the quaint features of the author's hometown of Emilia and the hardships the people have gone through: the mechanization of agriculture, the establishment of trade unions, workers' strikes, the First World War, the rampant fascism,...

      The two zeros of the last century

      "1900" is about the lives of two Italian post-00s from different classes in the twentieth century. World War I and World War II, the transformation of traditional agricultural society to modernization, have all gone through.

      The film has a strong leftist ideology and a black-and-white dualism, but it doesn't compromise its narrative, setting, and imagery at all, because it's so good. This kind of boldness, this kind of fierceness, has disappeared in this century's world of...

      you are part of my legacy

      Showing the torture and struggle of human nature in the ups and downs of history is the perspective of many great works, such as Hugo's "Les Miserables" and Tolstoy's "War and Peace." For China with its ups and downs in modern history, we can see that Bertolucci's work is easy to resonate.

      Regarding the characters and love-hate relationships of the two protagonists, many comments have already been said, and I won't repeat them. What I want to say here is the soil where fascism was...

      1. Completely surrender to the light and shadow of the camera and the scene scheduling. It is a blockbuster. 2. The history of the country has always been promoted by the contradictions between different classes. It is a blessing to be able to enjoy such a film, which is all-encompassing. The director does not need to prefer which position, and the audience has a choice in their...

      1. The film is 315 minutes long, a new record for my movie viewing. 2. Subtitle: The Godfather Reincarnated Farmer. 3. The lifelong entanglement of two men has nothing to do with the history of their achievements during this period. If you don't believe me, look at the way they push and shove. One attack and one attack is an epic child's play. 4. Recumbent, vertical, the master is dead, Alfred is alive. Movie history's favorite...

      Yuan Dan is a big hand, but the narrative is too loose. I have thought for countless times that it would be better if the tension between the two male protagonists was more convergent, but I didn't perfect the feeling of fateful fighting in the setting, but think about it like this The flow of life is not bad at all. I still don't understand why I cast two non-Italian actors as the male protagonists, and dubbed them later, but I like Depardieu very much. There is a sense of Su in the mania. The...

      In fact, this film is anti-ideological and anti-historical, and the scene of the child lying on the rails is the most important metaphor for the film's main theme: how an individual can save his life when the wheel of history runs over. Communism, fascism, and capitalism are all for the sake of the tiger, all of which are fleeting, and the eternal struggle of the flesh. Once again, Dominique Sanda and Stefania Sandrelli are two of the most fascinating actresses in Italian film...

      Brother Guo gave me "1900" lying in the drawer to sleep for two years. I finished it at 2 am this morning, and I was drunk while laughing. At that time, the big nose and Luo Luo were so...

    "Novecento" is an expansive picture, which is both an ode to peasant culture and a flogging of rural fascist forces. It shows the profound unease of a society divided into classes. The author's ambition also reaches conceited levels in the film, whose lack of history and Manichean simplification of good and evil undermines its success. Attila's image, though supposed to symbolize the brutality and murderousness of fascism, shows the...

    • Ada Fiastri Paulhan: [Weaves drunkenly towards an irate Alfredo] I know why you don't want me to drink. It's because when I drink it gives me the call to tell you the truth! You are different, you have changed. You are surrounded by terrible, vulgar, arrogant bullies, murderers... and you are even worse than they are!
