Watching this film always reminds me of Jia Zhangke’s good people in the Three Gorges, the same low-level people, who have survived so much pressure and exploitation, and still live silently and tenaciously. Should I admire the tenacious vitality of mankind, or sigh the world East to West, the cruel truth everywhere? I have visited a few old mansions of nobles. Their luxury and lavishness lasted for a hundred years and thousands of years. They are still enough to shock people today. The world is hell and paradise. The Buddha said that because of karma, he can only be silent (if there is a chance, he will be loud. Say) Pray, those who have extra energy, please help people more, even those who have more virtuousness and more energy, try to do it, better system, law, technology or something.

#修版 Olmi This film seems to be different from the previous work and Milan's mind. The three hours are mostly depicting the ordinary life of a few poor peasants in Italy, but the super powerful ending in the last 15 minutes fully demonstrates the director's class stance : The landlord can almost not appear in the film, but they are invisible hands. A few trees are not worth a penny to them, but they become an excuse for heavy punishment and can also intimidate other farmers...heartbroken and angry

I feel that the simple divinity in the natural work of farmers can be photographed from these techniques: coherent and de-dramatic sequence of actions, elimination of central roles, complicated environmental sound design, medium and long-range view-based framing, elimination of creation The judge’s personal values. The scene of the newlyweds sailing on the river truly has the supreme beauty of cinema. Worthy of being the finale of the golden age of Italian cinema. It's so powerful that it bursts.

Frichi the peddler: [Frichi, a peddler, shows up with a cart full of various fabrics; peasant women gather 'round] It's Frichi! Frichi is here, ladies! Look at this beautiful, first-rate cloth! Very reasonable prices. Come and admire these beautiful skirts!
Peasant woman: You going to swindle us like last time?
Frichi the peddler: Frichi has never swindled anyone! I respect women as much as I respect monkeys!
Peasant woman: You and your fancy talk!
