But this movie really changed my view of Italians in a big way. Previously, I always felt that the people of this country or nation were a group of opportunists who advocated enjoyment, and the outstanding representative of them was Inzaghi, I Khan! In my impression, Rome is a city full of food, sex, and desire. The Romans are lazy and casual, shrewd and cunning, and extremely love to enjoy! However, what the film presented to me is by no means such a fact. This is a city with grace, courage, elegance and strength. The steadfast and enthusiastic Pina, the brave and determined underground party, the noble and unyielding priest, and the children who hold the editor's hope, these people are the soul of this city!
However, there are still some remnants of old impressions, such as Marina who betrayed love, Pina's sister who is righteous, and Italians who served the German army, etc. In fact, I don't want to condemn them, everyone has their own values.
Sometimes I find it scary to emphasize patriotism, or nationalism. What is "master-race" and "slave-race", this is the evil result, in fact, the same is true of World War II. Maybe I say this because it's none of my business, we haven't been in war, we don't know what it was like, we don't know the desperation at that time, so I don't think "patriotism" is useful.
However, from another perspective, the country is actually just an ideology. We are born in whatever country we are born in, and then we must be patriotic. This is actually unreasonable. Elena in Ignorance feels the same way. Krishna said, we should get rid of all shackles and seek the light of humanity from ourselves. Only in this way can we truly fundamentally change society!
I think that's it, trust people enough, don't need everyone to manage people, it's not anarchism. Although I do not believe in "states" and "governments", I do believe they must end!
It's just a random thought, so it's a bit messy!
