It was a manor mystery and a satirical attack on the feudal snobbery who exploited the tenant farmers. Despite the different backgrounds, which at first glance takes place at the end of the 19th century, the so-called "Marquise" Marchesa is imposing a bygone era of serfdom on a remote village called Inviolata. But I still think the story is about a very modern Italy - I exploited them and they exploited the weaker ones, a food chain that can never be stopped.
1. The beginning of good and evil
At the beginning of the movie, Lazaro's generosity is constantly emphasized, and I can't help but wonder, what kind of happiness will Lazaro, whose kindness is maximized, be the weakest one who never says "no"? ? However, the fate of his miraculous purity and kindness is also intensified with the necessary direction of the plot and the uplifting narrative.
Although the description and image of each character's thinking direction in the early stage of watching the movie is not very clear, but you can always inadvertently find some small details hidden in the tone, in the expression, hidden in the eyebrows, these small details are not regular or irregular. There is no order, but stringing these captured clues together will be flexible. For example, others call Lazaro to and fro, wantonly despise him, etc. Those who take advantage of Lazaro seem to be unconscious, but they deeply reinforce their disgust and exclusion of kindness. It is the absurdity of human nature that is hard to let go. I have to say that I really like this type of narrative, not only does it not weaken the logical connection between the plot and the plot, but also enhances the three-dimensionality of the character structure.
Second, the flavor of the ending
For 127 minutes, I stuffed myself into the movie, like stuffing my curiosity into my stomach, and just calmed down and enjoyed the 127 minutes. If only one part of the movie could be chosen to talk about, it would be the ending. In this subtle, charming, and slightly underwhelming ending, where he falls in the bank and the wolf comes and takes him, it seems to symbolize the liberating beginning of something greater, and we don't know what it will be, just Like Lazaro's reaction to all this tragedy of such magnitude, it remained a mystery until the end. Lazaro, who should have been happy, used his unique ambition towards the world and his seemingly immortal hope to fight against the tragedy of continuous sublimation, which made people feel great sadness, especially the scene where he cried, which instantly inspired the audience's empathy , heartbroken.
It is undeniable that in an increasingly evil world, the search for holiness is difficult, and the human heart that cannot be seen or guessed can often be the beginning of all tragedies, so that no matter how tense the situation, I hope this thing can not balance the tragedy, It shows that tragedy is infinite, hope can only be hope, hope is nothingness and imagination.
Based on those uncertainties and blank ideas, it is possible to boldly assume a parallel time and space and strike the final blow. In every life as pale as Lazaro, perhaps only when greed and selfishness dominates. There is a holy fool like him; if another parallel time and space will come, maybe selfish and kind people will be equally happy; otherwise, continue to wait for the arrival of the third parallel time and space, and let Lazaro be happy alone. I believe he will go to a better place, where he will be a happy Lazaro.
Third, the conclusion
To some, he was a ghost; to others, a saint; to Tancredi, a symbol of luck. Most of the time, he appears to be just a victim, a young slave on an Italian estate trampled by tragedy. If someone does follow Lazaro to his inevitable end, is it possible that someone with such an extraordinary kindness can make the world believe again in holy innocence, holy selflessness? Hard to say.
Above all, he's an elusive and rare good guy, like this captivating, half-awake, sun-but-not-sun movie.
