I watched this movie after listening to Liang Wendao’s "Eight Points". I watched the free translation version. Because of my average English level, I can understand the general meaning, plus there are certain dramas in "Eight Points". Thorough, so it doesn’t seem to be very laborious. This is the first time I have really understood Bertolucci, and I didn't understand when I watched "Dream of Paris" in high school. When I now truly integrate into society and meet all kinds of people, when I look at this Marcello, I can more or less feel that he is me at a certain time, when I am acting the same as others. At the time, leave some distance between yourself and others. Maybe this is a kind of nobleness, a sense of self-superiority that thinks that oneself is different from others, a kind of self-superiority that thinks that oneself is different from others, one that can draw a line with others, and when encountering things, you can retreat. In the end, what I fell into was my loneliness.
In the process of watching the movie, Bertolucci played a little bit in the performance of the plot. When Marcello’s boss handed him the pistol, he took out the pistol and made the shot very seriously. I laughed during the hurting action. Is this a kind of ridicule? may be.
Also touching me was Marcello closing the window and showing the shadow in the house. I deliberately checked Plato’s research on "cave theory" and understood the role of shadow in Marcello, as if Marcello had been indulged in his shadow since joining Fascism, thinking that this is The shadow of realism, and I belong to all of this.
However, in the end, when destiny arranged for Marcello to meet again with the person who had been killed by him, Marcello believed that his idea of being different from others was shattered. He wanted revenge, he wanted to change, but still had to take the initiative, so he exposed They can impose their crimes on others and let themselves retreat. When everyone takes away the blind fascist friends, it can stand aside with the comfort of the rest of his life, enjoying the success brought by cold blood.
