      Hideaway Mediterranean

      Someday, escaping the world like this may be the only way to stay alive and keep dreaming.
      The battle ahead was in full swing, and a nine-person team was sent to the remote Aegean island for guard work. The only radio transceiver was broken, and they were completely cut off from the world.
      The captain used his expertise to repair the frescoes for the church on the island at the request of the priest. As a sergeant, Loruso still seems to miss the thrill of killing the enemy, and the...

      goodbye mediterranean

      The Mediterranean, the best foreign language film Oscar in 1992, beat the old man's invincible red lantern. Sunshine, islands, sea water, men, women, brothers, football, mules, drugs, Taoyuan, freedom, democracy, anti-war, this should be a beloved film.
      Originally, I didn't have a good impression of this film when I was scanning, it was very vulgar and rough, but this kind of down was reluctant to delete it directly, so I watched it today. Ten minutes later, I was involuntarily attracted....

      the director said

      Although the film is set in World War II, it shows us a peaceful world on a small island. With the humorous color of comedy, the author expresses the strange and insipid experience of the protagonist through a group of daily life pictures: the friendly atmosphere between the Italians and the Greeks; the brag and jokes of the soldiers; the friendship and conflict between the soldiers relationship (Farina fell in love with a prostitute, so he threatened to shoot anyone who dared to touch her...

      war from another angle

      Looking at the war from another angle, such as the later similar "Welcome to Dongmo Village" such as "Merry Christmas" such as "No Man's Land", the first two are more similar, involving integration with civilians, the latter two It is still the connection between opposites under special circumstances at special times.
      I like this film more because of its strong Italian humanistic atmosphere, which is very casual and natural in One Thousand and One Nights, and many other casual dialogues,...

      "Mediterranean" - Mirage of "Eden"

      "Established the Garden of Eden
      The LORD God set up a garden in Eden in the east, and placed there the man whom he had made. The LORD God made every bush grow out of the ground, pleasing to the eye, and its fruit good for food. The garden Among them were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. There was a river flowing out of Eden to nourish the garden,..." (from "Old Testament. Genesis")

    Movie plot

    The background of the story is that during World War II, eight Italian soldiers with a mule were ordered to garrison a Greek island in the Aegean Sea. The local area is like a paradise isolated from the world, and the residents of the town cannot feel the atmosphere of war at all. Before long, the army also forgot their mission, mingling with the townspeople, playing football games as a pastime, painting murals for the village church,...

    Evaluation action

    The story of the whole film is not strong, but the leisurely life feeling and lighthearted jokes make the audience get a pleasant viewing experience, and express the theme of anti-war in the chat and laugh. The director makes full use of the beautiful tranquility of the island under the fire to contrast the brutality and bloodshed of the real war, reflects the heavy theme through light and leisurely life fragments, and nags the homely...
