I was in a daze when I heard that there was a movie like "Chinese Divorce", but I don't know if it's released yet. I really want to know what the so-called Chinese-style divorce is all about. Mike said that Italians and Chinese have many characteristics in common, but he did not point out which characteristics they have in common. But I really feel familiar with "Italian Divorce". The Italian divorce in the film is, to a certain extent, or can be said to be a Chinese divorce.

It should be a very old film, black and white. Masduani's declining middle-aged nobleman in Sicily (what age is this?) Baron Gefallo, and his wife Rosalia have been in the itch for seven years, and have reached a boring and pale period without wind and waves . His wife is fat and has no grace, but the half-old milf has a touch of charm, which naturally makes him tired. Compared with his beautiful young cousin Angela (Ah, the actor is Stephanie. "Zhe" and Du Minnick. Sanda's face dance is amazing) The shortcomings are even more shocking. No wonder he passed the cicadas, and both the heart and the horse jumped to the latter. However, confined to strict laws and dogma, in the face of the unrelenting law prohibiting divorce, you have to make a clean break with your wife. There is really something to sigh: a conservative society is extremely decent, and divorce is a scandal. , Betraying one's own virtues, and bankruptcy in disguised form, anyone can spit and throw stones at the parties.

Of course, holding on to the indispensable idea will not fail to think of strategies. His trick is to mobilize his wife’s ex-lover and create opportunities for him and his wife to get along alone, while he listens to the wall --- he has installed listening devices in the bedroom, and his wife’s and ex-lover’s provocations can’t escape him. The palm of your hand. Sure enough, everything went as he wished: his wife Hongxing went out of the wall and eloped with his former lover. In a small city, any disturbance in the city will cause a sensation in the whole city ------ the short and long history is the lubricant for the irritable life of the people in the small city. Therefore, wearing a green hat willingly, he grabbed the sympathy of the victim from the attention of the people in the small city, and won the greatest support of public opinion. When the time came, he killed his wife. Because of his love, he was sentenced to only one and a half years in prison.

Most of the film describes his deliberate wive-killing process, full of details. After being released from prison, he got married with Angela as he wished. However, the director did not arrange for him to have the last laugh. As soon as the camera turned, we saw that a few months later, he and Angela were going to sea on vacation, caressing each other on the deck, and they were very sweet. Then the camera pans to the other side, Angela's restless feet entangled with the young crew's feet. The story continues, but it can be expected that for him, it will no longer be Happy ending.

"Italian Divorce" is a comedy, ironically the unreasonable laws at the time. The social atmosphere and difficulty of divorce, which regard divorce as a scourge and scandal, are very similar to Chinese society in certain periods. We can often see scenes like this in Chinese movies in the 1980s and 1990s: Women’s Federation neighborhood committees and mothers-in-laws at the police station take the responsibility of maintaining social stability and firmly believe that the original cracks can no longer exist after the reconciliation of the mirror. Couples reconcile, both soft and hard, the men and women who have completely broken up still have to live in the same room and lead a colorless and bleak married life, and the tragedy happened. Many times, the good intentions of society do bad things. Watching "Italian Divorce", it is inevitable to think of such scenes in Chinese movies.

I don't know what the content of "Chinese Divorce" is. If we are talking about the divorce phenomenon in reality, then the procedure should at least be much simpler and easier than before. In this respect, society has made some progress after all.

    I watched it again, and this time I noticed a lot of things outside the plot: the wife reads novels before going to bed every day, often plays the piano and sings, she should be a well-educated class; The history of art from the 17th to the 19th century cuts into a small mouth; watching the opera, Caruso sings una furtiva lagrima; in such an exquisite house, the slapstick quarrels between the two rooms of the fallen aristocrats; roadside pubs The viewers were delighted to hear about other people’s romantic affairs; in the end, they also showed a tribute to Fellini’s movie. The conservative Sicily was so crowded, squeezed to watch the big breasts and fat buttocks on the screen, and saw the changes of the times. All kinds of good. The motif of the film is the duel for love and honor since the Middle Ages, but it turns into a joke in a modern story. What is cultural heritage, you can find it at your fingertips, and it's so thick that you don't need to dig out, it is the true cultural heritage.

    The funny tragedy is about that. The inner monologue is intersected with the imaginary third-party narrative. From cos Fellini's masterpiece "Dettol Peony" (Sweet Life) to the sworn speeches of PCI leaders, it shows the order and absurdity of Italian society in the 1950s and 1960s. A few daydreams, smacking heads and Italian gestures, please stop for the last scene. In the tidbits, there is a piece of his wife's artistic dream, in fact, it is better not to cut it out.
