The marquis exploited the tenant farmers, and the tenant farmers exploited Lazzaro. In modern society, olive pickers are also exploited. The bank took the marquis' property and the marquis took the dessert. (The Marquise said that exploitation always exists, maybe not in a communist society.) People in the countryside work hard, but in modern society, their lives have not improved. They have become marginalized homeless people who have watched TV. But also find ways to find food. The illiterate people can rely on the land for food in the countryside, but in the city they can only be deceived and deceived. What about literacy, passers-by say she can't rob, she has four children to support, and stands in line in front of the bank. (In rural society, the people of modern society, life is equally difficult.) Religion exists in both societies. Religion exists in closed and ignorant rural areas. Why does modern society still have religion when science has developed very much? The reason for the existence of religion is people's needs, spiritual deprivation, suffering, and there is a little healing effect from religious belief. But in reality, the magnificent cathedrals built by man are to drive away the poor. The nun said "it's private", it's just for utilitarian purposes to serve those who can afford it.
So the music that symbolizes "beauty" is gone. Music is a spiritual existence and is not limited to the gorgeous churches of man-made buildings. It follows Saint Lazzaro, the pure good man.
The wolf at the end is the wolf who robbed the farmhouse in the story, and people don't know that it is old and hungry. Tramps who have deceived ordinary people in society are poor people, unable to work in society and unable to enjoy the benefits of modern society.
This movie is very good, it is a rare work. The shooting is very beautiful, the narrative is quiet and slow, but it does not make the audience want to fast-forward at all. (Some so-called literature and art are very boring, and some fast-paced movies make people want to fast-forward.) The picture and rhythm are full of poetry. Are those actors really not looking for real farmers to play? The sluggish expression on his face was too real, and those rural scenes were as realistic as a documentary.
The work is full of metaphors, and the audience can have various interpretations, which reflects the richness of the work itself. The setting of these metaphors makes people deeply admire the talent and skill of the creator. (I checked, such amazing skills are not displayed in this work. The director has been shooting and thinking about the foreign invasion of rural, economic and cultural issues, and class. This film There are traces of his skills, and the accumulated thinking and skills have made this film. It is not a genius that suddenly exists in a work, otherwise this kind of genius would be too scary.)
