It is true that Neorealism has taken me the sociality of the theme and the authenticity of the style as a whole, and put an end to the drama of the movie. Most lens language shows the life of the intact "movie characters" from an objective perspective. Even Rude Sika advocates not to use scene scheduling, and the shots are random. But I think this kind of randomness is very deliberate, and his purpose is to create a record-like style. In the play, for example, in this Umberto D, could it be said that his gradual progress made Umberto’s despair in life, from his failure to fight for power to his being driven out by the landlady to the failure of suicide to send the dog. The work is gradual and infiltrated gradually, is there no dramatic shadow?
Even I think the overall style of these Italian artists is more romantic and poetic than anyone else. This reminds me of the great novel "Les Miserables", a masterpiece of realism with romanticism.
I have benefited a lot. I really like a few particularly poetic scenes in this movie. One is the passage where the maid cleaned up the housework in the early days, grinding coffee beans, kicking the door with her feet, wet tears, and the loneliness of a pregnant girl was vividly described. The second is the passage where Umberto hesitated to beg. When he took out his hand, he even had the charisma that Chaplin had created. When the giver was about to give him money, he turned it over as if Feeling the sun, the lofty self-esteem of the downfall, is a fairy tale of Italian aristocracy, which not only reminds me of "Leopard". The third is that the human and dog bid farewell to the passage. When Umberto finally decided to leave his "last intimacy" and he was reluctant to go back again, the puppy staggered and ran over. This scene is touching.
I have always been influenced by feature films. When I practice writing and professionally learn to arrange dramas, I have always made very "big" things. Either multiple themes are arranged in a short story structure time, or just Pursuing the exaggerated plot of the story often distorts the details and reality. The plot of this movie is very simple, and I also found a direction for the next training-simple, delicate and true.
