Italy, Director: Roberto Rossellini. 1946.
After the movie, I felt that the war was too hateful for him. He also has some progressive power, but it destroys too many things. I also feel that we are really lucky to live in peacetime now.
I almost fell asleep after watching this movie. Although it cannot be said that he is ugly, his storytelling is relatively low. The main thing is to shape the environment and atmosphere at that time, as well as some wartime life. He is not too exciting, and at the end of each story, you will find that each story has its bleak, bleak place, and everyone is pitiful and plagued by war.
There are six stories in this film. The first story tells that the US military finds an Italian woman to lead the way. After reaching a tower, they met the enemy, and the Italian woman who led the way was brutally killed by the enemy in order to avenge an American.
The second story tells the love story of a black American local police officer and an Italian child who has no parents.
The third story meets the idiot woman in the undefended city of Rome. In this film, the third story plays a prostitute image. A love story between an American soldier and a street girl.
The fourth story is quite dark and humorous. A man and a woman travel across a war-torn city in order to find their lovers. But when the woman is about to reach the end, she has to know that her lover is dead.
The fifth story mainly talks about the problem of religious contradictions. After three American soldiers came to the church in Italy, two of them believed in Judaism and Catholicism respectively. When the Christian church heard the news, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
The sixth story is a story about the conflict between the partisans and the German army. This guerrilla group is a small guerrilla group composed of American, British and Italian natives. They can't get enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes, fighting for the belief that the people can survive. But in the end the squad was wiped out by the Germans.
