Why is the revolution, the oolong of the revolution, the betrayal, loyalty and irony of the revolution, the film is warm and sad, high-level, simple and deep, reflecting the true epic style.
Interesting footage of urine flushing ants on a tree:
Cleansing up the filth, innovating and turning the old, sometimes in a less respectable, unremarkable way.
Professional revolutionary and demolition expert John traveled from south to north and fooled Juan, the native leopard, into the orbit of revolution.
John is full of courage, fearlessness, strong ability, and charismatic personality. It can be said that he can do anything like a duck in water. Why should he join the revolution?
Selfishness is the nature of human beings, but do you believe that some people are like gods. Only by helping the weak and unfamiliar can they feel comfortable and cool!
Juan didn't understand that John was born and died, not for money or to impress anyone, but only in this way can he be happy, forget the betrayal of his friends, and realize the greatest value of his life.
Continuously blowing up the vaults of the bank, they found that they were full of imprisoned revolutionaries (the metaphor that these people are the real wealth of the country), and they didn't get a penny. Juan was losing his temper with John, and was lifted up as a hero to celebrate .
Leone sympathized with the weak, the elites united with the peasants, and it was always the peasants who suffered in the end. His point of view coincides with an old Chinese saying:
Every time one slaughtered a dog with a sense of righteousness, most of them were scholars with a negative heart!
Juan's words left John speechless:
However, for the sake of honor, Juan chose to fight alongside John.
Revolutions are always full of legends, there are traitors, and there are warriors who brave the field.
The film is not a simple criticism of anyone. The traitor doctor gave up the chance to escape, sacrificed heroically, and completed his own redemption.
In the last moments of his life, John still had the idea of betraying his best friend and the girl they both liked.
Why is this love triangle so unforgettable?
That girl is just an intermediary to pass on their friendship...
John was seriously injured, and he did not want to drag his comrades down, so he blew himself up and died with good memories——
Juan, who forged a deep fighting friendship with him, was shocked and sad...
How did you shoot so well?
On the one hand, he sympathized with and supported the revolution, and on the other hand, he retained the necessary prudence. This is where Leonegao is.
"Revolutionary Past" was screened in France. Leone and a few friends ate at a Parisian restaurant. An Italian at the next table gave him a bottle of champagne:
Mr. Leone, I want to explain to you why I sent you this bottle. I have two sons, they are 22 and 20 years old. Politically, they are totally against my personal views like crazy. We live in a very heated quarrel. They left the house and it brought me and my wife a very big misfortune...for many years. Neither of us met...and because of your "Revolutionary Past" they came back to live with me. They told me that your videos made them realize how wrong they were. They apologized to me. They come back forever. That's why I love your movies, that's why I'm giving you this bottle of champagne.
Leone was very moved and thanked him:
All of what he said sounds better to me than the best movie review in the world!
A film that changed the life trajectories of two radical youths is truly the greatest compliment a director can get.
