I am very interested in epic historical themes, the name novecento is very attractive, 1900 can also be said to be the new century, the new century has undergone earth-shaking changes, everyone has their own destiny, everyone is just history There is a drop in the ocean in the torrent, the past is like smoke, and there is nowhere to pay homage. It turns out that the scene of lying on the track when I was a child is a metaphor. When the train of history passes by, small people can only bear it and cannot fight; , seeing the failure of fascist, I thought padrone would be killed, olmo's words saved Alfredo, and then a bird's-eye view: the two of them pulled together cutely, until they were even older, the music at this time It was quite easy, and then Alfredo suddenly went to lie on the rails, this time his posture was perpendicular to the rails, the train came slowly, he would definitely die, and then turned to the scene where Alfredo was lying on the rails when he was a child, and at the same time the magnificent soundtrack sounded, The ending is really exciting, and the soundtrack is really Morricone... The English version I watched was said to be dubbed in English ➕ Italian. The films of that period are really fine, the scenes are exquisite and real, the soundtrack is magnificent, the plot is compact and coherent, and the erotic culture➕violent aesthetics is really eye-opening!
The style of the whole film is very Italian. Thanks to the director for taking the audience back to the Italian farms of that time, frogs, cowsheds, pigs and horses, farmers, landlords, and fascists. It is not a long time, and I don’t know much about Italy. Some history, I have time to study it, I will not talk about history and politics here, because I did not understand the political position that the director wanted to express. Several scenes at the end show the ignorance of farmers, for example: farmers criticize Alfredo's The guilt is a bit too much, especially in one scene, a peasant scolded Alfredo's grandfather, and later said that it seemed like your father did it. Alfredo said that he did not hurt anyone, but his status as a padrone is a kind of injury, and the fascist is from the landlord class Born in the hegemonic rule, the film said, Attila is a typical fascist, he can be regarded as a hegemonist of the ruling class; there is also the scene where the new government asks to hand over guns, most peasants refuse, and finally olmo persuades everyone to take the lead Hand in hand, peasants don't understand socialism at all, and who does the final victory really belong to? At the end, I suddenly felt that everything was meaningless. Maybe the director just wanted to express an ambiguous political stance. The world is not black and white. Everything is complicated, vague and hazy. Or the same sentence: the past is like smoke, and there is nowhere to pay homage. What is history trying to express? Hegel once said: The only lesson that mankind can learn from history is that mankind cannot learn any lessons from history.
It would be better if the events after Olmo's escape were realized in more detail. Olmo's role is a little less.
