As a participant in the fascist alliance, Italy also committed crimes in the war, but at the same time Italy was also a victim of the war, so, through Rossellini's lens, we see a real record of Rome under Nazi rule.
Hardships and hardships surround them, with a curfew imposed every day at 5pm, we see a real, rough environment, the hard life of the widow Pina and her children, but also the twinkling in it The kindness of humanity shines.
Pina was about to have a wedding with Francisco, but the arrival of the Nazis changed everything. Francisco was caught and hanged himself. Pina also died on the street under the gunfire of the Nazis.
Pina's children and his comrades organized the fight against the Nazis at an innocuous age.
The protagonist of the film died under the torture of the Nazis, and the priest of the church died calmly.
The calmer the real picture, the more shocking it becomes, and the more people hate the crimes of Nazi Germany.
The German Nazis thought they were a noble nation, but as one Nazi officer said, the Nazis brought only hatred and were doomed to fail in despair.
Under the bravery and fearlessness of the Italian people, the so-called nobility of Nazi Germany seemed so ridiculous.
True, this is Italy's thinking and recording of the post-war period.
