The longest movie ever seen: six hours. It has been stored in the computer, I don't know how to read it several times.
A movie about a family and an era. Every time I look at it, I think of Forrest Gump, which is narrated by the same small person and the big time. But compared to Forrest Gump is an optimistic one-man comedy, "Brilliant Life" is a more realistic story of the joys and sorrows of a family: the momentum is more magnificent.
The biggest feeling of the film: personality determines life.
After watching the whole film, you can know that this is a united and loving family. The love between family members is impartial. The same family conditions, the same parents, brothers and sisters, Nicola and Matteo are equally kind, upright and compassionate, but their ways of reading love and expressing love are very different. This is the respective character of the brothers. (1) Parental quarrels. The optimistic Nicola seems to be a manifestation of love, while the sensitive and sad Matteo realizes that "I won't get married in the future" (a conversation with the youngest sister). (2) Mother is busy with teaching work, but Nicola only expresses regretfully: "I am envious of the students who were taken to the library and museum by my mother", and the mother explained "that is because the children are too pitiful and lack the care of their parents." , He also just jokingly said, "So, you are the same as other parents (ignoring your own children)." And Matteo is a mother who has not fulfilled her mother's duties and is estranged (after many years of work, transferred home to Rome, I would rather rent a house outside than go home, or even tell my family). (3) Regarding the eldest sister, Nicola will think about discussing with her and listening to her professional opinions even if she knows that she is out of her job and cannot confess everything. Matteo believes that the eldest sister, like a "second mother" and a judge, always preached and criticized his behavior. In the whole family, Matteo is only willing to communicate with Nicola, and this is precisely because of Nicola's own pleasing character. Nicola is kind and tough, optimistic and easy-going, and respects the life choices of others. He believes that "the so-called freedom means that everyone has the right to spend his life in the way he likes." Therefore, his way of expressing love is to understand and become a doctor who helps the sick and the weak. Matteo, his heart is as sensitive and sad as a poet, and he has empathy for the weak. However, he has an almost perfect dedication to love and kindness. When others are contrary to these cognitions in his heart, he cannot let go and forgive. His way of expressing love is demanding, brave and fiercely fighting against "evil" like a warrior. Can't help but reflect: How should we love? How to express love? Love and hate, good and evil, should go from one to the other. So, to love in a way that understands and grows love and beauty, will it More powerful than hating and eliminating ugliness and evil? In other words, is it less painful to be a healer who helps heal than a warrior who destroys evil? can you? The great thing about the film is that it seems: the story of each character depends entirely on their own personalities. It's not the screenwriter and director's decision. Six hours, it was not enough for me to read it once! For the first time, I was fascinated by Nicola's kindness, easy-going, tenacity and wisdom. Then, I recollected it again, but fell deeply into the infinite distress for Matteo. Unable to let go, the love between Matteo and Giorgia..... The summer of 1966! On that rainy night, Matteo picked up the notebook signed Giorgia on the floor. After a few pages of painting, one page was smeared out, but the beginning "Hello, Matteo" was still visible. In front of the jukebox in the snack shop, Matteo ordered the song "A Chi" (Who Can) as requested by Giorgia: "If it weren't for you, who else could I smile at! If you weren't here, I could still Who smiles", the lyrics and Giorgia looked at Matteo's eyes very firmly, confessing everything! (This scene, I really like it so much that I remember it countless times afterwards)
"Remember the summer when we were all young? What's wrong with you? What's wrong with me?" This is after Nicola found Giorgia in 1977, Matteo choked up and said desperately to himself after seeing her! Use Nicola's words to answer "I think you fell in love with her back then", but is it really just back then? Matteo, his struggle with evil is so sharp and fierce. However, his love, although not sensual, but also exhausted! On the train, Matteo and Giorgia were asleep, leaning side by side. Nicola looked at them and smiled contentedly as if admiring the beautiful scenery. Matteo woke up and expressed doubts about Nicola's smile. Nicola gestured to him: "You and she are a perfect match", and then, Matteo's only shy smile appeared in the movie~~~ (How beautiful!! !) Can’t help thinking: Would it be different if the police didn’t take Giorgia away that summer? It seems that youth stayed in that summer. The most beautiful youth~~~
In addition, Matteo’s smile is really really good, but it’s just too little...
