Going through all kinds of hardships, ups and downs, but still able to embrace the love in your heart, this is a splendid life!
Two brothers, Matteo and Nicola, one looks strong and irritable on the outside, but is really fragile on the inside. He would rather be broken than broken. He couldn't stand the falsehood of the state and society. He dropped out of school, especially because he couldn't protect Georgia well. , chose to be a soldier, trying to maintain this vulnerable order. He was not good at expressing and buried all kinds of darkness in his heart. He tried to use strict law enforcement to change others, but his strong character was out of tune with this world. Frustrated, unable to get out of the predicament of the heart. Finally, on the brightly lit New Year's night, I chose to make a decisive decision with the world and closed the book of my life. As he and Mirella said: "You like a book because you can close it at any time, but life and death are different, and it's not up to you." He responded: "You are wrong, everything is up to me, including not meeting you."
The other is gentle and soft on the outside, but is actually as solid as a rock. He melted the world with his tenderness. He silently accepted the death of his father, the departure of his brother, and the departure of his wife. As his university professor said, "You have basic compassion, which is important in doctors, so I give you an A." It is a hint that he can carry all the burdens. Facing Georgia, he enlightens and talks again and again, letting her get out of her inner demon and embrace the new world. In the face of the abuse of the patients in the local mental hospital, he appealed to fight for the respect they deserved. He will use a rational way to accuse the injustice of this society. He is not like Julia, who wants to overthrow everything when he is young, and even plays the piano in the church to get the pastor's consent when he is old. He has two lifelong friends, chatting, indulging, drinking. He should be the person who can truly experience the splendid life in the whole film. If Matteo is an idealist, a tragic hero like Achilles, then Nicholas is a realist savior with a pure heart inspired by Aphrodite.
Georgia went from being autistic and fearing the world to being persuaded to leave the mental hospital and start a new life; Carlo and Francesca finally had a happy family; Latour also made small achievements in career; Julia finally met her daughter; Milera and Nicola broke through Matteo's inner obstacles and became a family; Nicola's mother passed away peacefully, accompanied by her daughter-in-law and grandson. After all the ups and downs, I finally got a happy ending. Life is so splendid.
The film tells about the changes in a family caused by social turmoil in Italy from 1966 to 2003, showing class struggle, abuse of patients in mental hospitals, floods in Florence, corruption in the state system, and the red brigade and other populist organizations. The rise, the invasion of leftist ideas, the student movement and other social phenomena, in six hours, it shows the joys and sorrows of a family in the social torrent in the past forty years. The director is very good at telling stories, and can always convey emotions inadvertently, resonating with us, and the actors can fully interpret their inner emotions.
Six hours, reading the whole life, it seems like a lifetime.
