      Mother and Second Child - A Little Realistic Association

      After the heroine was raped, she cried and said "talk to me" to the third child, but unfortunately the third child was also crying, and finally she left in despair. I think the third child is not being kind, at least the third child should give her a hug to comfort her...

      The third child thinks it's all his fault, and probably suffers from infinite contradictions in his heart. I don't like his...

      Passion and Desire, Sin and Punishment

      The family epic, the cannibalism of brothers, love and lust, crime and punishment, all make this film a clear Dostoevsky brand. More like a collection of Crime and Punishment and Brothers Karamazov.

      After Visconti borrowed a family to migrate from southern Italy to the northern city of Milan, the five brothers’ different fate trajectories, on the one hand, showed the loss of nostalgia in the process of urbanization: the eldest took root in the metropolis, and the second lived in the...

      The name I can't go back to is my hometown

      I watched it with free school tickets at Belcourt Theatre the next day of Thanksgiving. I missed the first 25 minutes in order to eat brunch, but it didn't have any effect on the later plot.
      The deepest impression is in three points: 1. The change of Alain Delon's eyes from the beginning to the later; 2. The bad nature of people can see the clue from the beginning, and his biggest weakness; 3. The homeland to a person importance.

      1. At first, Rocco's character's eyes were...

      Good movies never die, they just grow old

      For a while, I have been thinking about a question, what is the essential difference between the old movies of the golden age, and even the masterpieces of the silent era, and the current movies?
              The answer that can barely convince me at present is that compared with the cinephiles and audiences who are trying to satisfy more tastes, the directors at that time may have more freedom and can shoot more "willfully", in line with their wishes and needs. A film that fits your...

      We see the positive energy a family can build up, and the powerlessness of that energy when a crisis hits. Simon is an evil tragedy, and Luo is an idealized tragedy. The combination of the two will only erode each other infinitely and endanger others. Classical repertoire-style narrative, relying on the series structure of...

      There are five brothers in a family, the eldest is mediocre, the second is a scumbag, the third is Notre Dame, and the fourth and fifth are still young. The story revolves around the scum and the Virgin. The young Alain Delon looks like a beautiful sacrifice, and from time to time in the theater, there are girls' low-pitched...

    Movie plot

    Milan, an important town in the northern part of The Republic of Italy , has attracted a large number of immigrants who came from the south to make a living and development. The Rocco ( Alain Delon ) brothers and their family came to Milan from this trend. It was a gloomy afternoon, and the eldest brother Vitch, who was already working here, welcomed the arrival of his mother and four younger brothers. The simple family saw the urban...

    Movie quotes

    • Rocco Parondi: Well, I'd like to make a toast to the day, which is still far away, when I can go home. And if I won't be able to, I hope one of us will be able to return to our land. Maybe you, Luca.

      Luca Parondi: I'd go back with you.

      Rocco Parondi: Remember, Luca, ours is the land of olive trees, of moon sickness, and of rainbows. Do you remember, Vincenzo? Before starting to build, the head mason throws a brick at the shadow of the first person who happened by.

      Luca Parondi: Why?

      Rocco Parondi: As a token of sacrifice, so that the house may be built solidly.

    • Rocco Parondi: I don't believe in earthly justice. It's not our job to judge him, but to help him. Let's help him!

    • Rocco Parondi: Don't curse! It serves no purpose. We're no longer in God's grace. We're our own enemies. We've all become enemies. Why curse? We have erred and must pay for our faults.
