6 hours of brilliant life

The entire movie is 6 hours long, but it's by no means lengthy! Definitely a thought-provoking movie!
From watching "Paradise Cinema" to "Life is Beautiful", and then to "A Splendid Life", I have an incomparable sense of beauty in Italian movies. Italian films are always as beautiful as paintings, which may be because Italians have a natural artistic cell. The beautiful and soothing music makes people put Buddha in the countryside and enjoy the fresh air with the fragrance of flowers.
While Nikolai and Melalie were walking on the country road, Madio appeared in the camera. He put his arms around the shoulders of the two of them. It was not until Nikolai and Melally held hands that Madio gradually walked away. . . . . .
Each of us dreams of freedom and equality, and hopes that the environment around us will become better and better. Some became Madio, some became Nicholas, and some became pessimistic professors who persuaded Nicholas to study abroad.
In the two brothers' treatment of the mentally ill Zojin, the characters of the two completely deduced their lives. Madio fisted at Zoe's father, while Nikolai had already planted the seeds of his desire to become a psychiatrist.
The appearance of Zuozhen made the two brothers go on different paths. Nicola became a psychiatrist, and Madio, after his service, became a police officer against violence. The director arranged these two positions, I think it is really clever! Doctors are healing the society, but the police can only use violence to control violence.
As his university professor said to him, Nicholas is compassionate and uses compassion to slowly change the society. Madio will use his fists to maintain the stability of this society despite the consequences of his suspension. We can’t help but calm down and think about it, as if we all had a character like Madio, or it still exists, when faced with a consciousness that is contrary to our consciousness, we have gritted our teeth, clenched our fists, and even clenched our fists. Greet directly with your fist. But when Merally said to Madio, "You like books because you can give them up at any time, but life is different, and it is often not up to you to decide." Madio was desperate, and he knew that his ideas for many years were unrealistic . (Perhaps he already knew, or why would he say he was Nikolai when he introduced himself to Melalie) Finally, he jumped off the balcony. . . . . .
Julia, a woman Nikolai loved deeply. They met and fell in love during a disaster. In later life, Julia became more and more "left", and even joined the "Red Party" in Italy (the Red Party is the party you imagined, after all, it was the 70s), and participated in many activities against the government. Eventually he became a member of a "terrorist organization" and was sent to take part in assassinations.
It's hard to imagine that Julia and Nicola will fall in love. Julia, like Madio, has no room for dissent, and she thinks about how to change society all day long. But the way is only "revolution () life" she is different from Nicola, but they still love each other.
Maybe it was the director's deliberate arrangement that Meralie (Madio's ex-girlfriend) and Nicola finally got together. They both have sympathy and social disposition. Maybe the director wants to tell us that those who treat others kindly can also be treated kindly by others.
After talking so much, I couldn't calm down. I want to write too much, but I can't get a clue, so here it is.
PS: The two male protagonists of the film are absolutely handsome! Even a big man like me is impressed by their handsomeness~~~
