On September 9, 1976, an era ended. Two old men who were born on the same day at the beginning of the twentieth century with entangled fates finally came to an end.
It seems that nothing has changed in history. Just like when I was a teenager, I was lying on the track alone, and I was also alone in the field. What happened to the century in "1900"? The director Bertolucci soaked the characters in the holy water of morality, and with a strong desire to change the historical destiny of people, arranged different women for the two male protagonists. Love becomes a cinematic device that evokes the essence of the characters.
But this time it is no longer Olmau, the grandson of the poor farmer who reigned supreme in nature. After many social changes, he has obviously changed his own identity, and he now has a fashionable identity - "proletarian class", but he apparently died in exactly the same way as his peasant grandfather. Times always arrange for different people to become the protagonists of society in turn. Only Alfred, the grandson of the wealthy farmer, had two chances to lie down, once for courage and this time for love. From 1900 to 1945, from 1945 to 1976, and even today, has he lost anything as a master (bourgeois)? no.
That beauty of French descent, trendy, fragile, like a muse who traveled from the left bank of the Seine to Italy, from painting, poetry to travel, she subverted all the old worlds, even her uncle's lover, she was not in the least. Influence Alfred's lips to move. She is like the spirit of the world on horseback, slamming into the family farm with machinery and steam engines, and has been forked into Alfred's beating heart.
Is love indiscriminate? No, only sex is indistinguishable, yes, Alfred and Olmer can even go to the same prostitute, but they can only fall in love with different women, one is the universal value of freedom and democracy, the other is human liberation the Bolsheviks. Because Alfred, who inherits private property rights, can completely capture the hearts of beautiful women, but it is precisely at the wedding that she gallops away on horseback. Facing the greed of his cousin and the brutality of the overseer, Alfred is silent - he deeply Knowing the meaning of eagerness, he even handed Olmau a pistol sufficient for self-defense at the start of the coup.
He can see the modern city at a glance from the farm, and of course he knows that his woman should be like Ada, but he also loves Italy, loves his grandfather's farm, cow dung, haystacks, wine, dances, music... He was deeply in love with tradition and nostalgia, which also meant hierarchy, norms and order. Two kinds of love collided fiercely at that dance. In this rural warehouse, Ada solemnly announced that she was blind. She could not see anything, as if nothing had happened. The era was broken because she thought she had firmly grasped it. After Alfred's heart, am I beautiful, Hyundai asked, and an old man jokingly faced the provocation with a puppet and immediately made her realize her own arrogance.
She should realize that the love in Alfred's heart is different from her own. He can tolerate fascism once, and he can tolerate fascism again and again. Unsurprisingly, his love is imprisonment, fantasy, and pathology. The moment Alfred met the prostitute for the second time, he also understood that love is not to accompany her to smoke heroin, not to be enlightened, not to look up. He wants to salvage this relationship. They relive the old dream of love, but they encounter another murder case. The original sin of usury has their hearts on them. This is a class destined to have no descendants. Everyone will realize, but the timing is different. Alfred finally decided to fire the brutal overseer. He rushed to the attic where Ada lived with joy. Yes, the revolution was victorious, but she—never came back...
Lying on the rails is the end of waiting, standing upright is life, standing upside down is death, standing upright is life, and a century is a blink of an eye, history and movies have only one character, his name is Alfred, he is the master, this is the age of bourgeois self-consciousness .
