Epic!

It took me more than four hours to watch this movie, and it took me an afternoon to watch it. After watching it, I was just amazed, epic!
Bertolucci's films in recent years have become increasingly erotic, and this one was earlier, more political, about the relationship between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, even if it was based on siblings.
I actually don't like politics at all. I occasionally watch elections in XX country or XX region, or watch lace news about fights and candidates. This movie made me think about the proletariat and the bourgeoisie outside of the political class for the first time. The result is that the class is too cruel~~~
Two children, born in 1900 within a day, one is the farmer's son, the other is a worker The two of them have lived in an environment where they are both enemies and friends since they were young. They have cultivated a relationship between brothers and masters and servants. They share everything together, and there will be competitions. Brother Gongzi always uses his weakness to stand out. The children of the workers are strong, and the children of the workers later went to the proletarian revolution. Brother Gongzi became a charitable farmer because the children of the workers understood the difficulties of the workers, but the power of the proletarian revolution was too strong, and the children of the workers were obviously brainwashed. When he got home, he started to kill the younger brother. The younger brother was tied to a chair and was criticized. He calmly watched the workers' children incite the workers' revolution, while the workers' children were determined but confused. share.
This may not be Bertolucci's best work, but it is the most exemplary.
The film has a strong political meaning. In my opinion, the characters and scenes are symbols of political ideas, but it is certain that this film is not about politics, but about a choice. People always have to choose in their own life. There are only one road, but there are too many crossroads, so some people may keep going straight all the way without turning, and some people may change directions, which may be noble or vulgar in the public consciousness, but in fact, no matter how this road goes, in the final analysis, it is the direction, the direction Determine the degree of twists and turns of the road and determine the final destination. At the end of the movie, the two of them did not reach the end. They could actually continue to turn the corner, just looking back at the road ahead. Some of them may not be their wishes, but their choices~~~

    560 years of epic melded into a 5-hour movie, grandiose architecture, perfect photography, a cross-section of a country's history, but I can't agree with the political philosophy conveyed by the film. The transformation of characters is also very abrupt The courage to take this film is commendable.

    From 1900 to 1945, the first half of their lives, the two boys fell in love and killed each other. The scale of the movie is astonishingly large, and there are terrifying scenes such as abusing cats, killing pigs, and throwing children, which requires special attention. 5 hours passed like a dream, less American and more like an Italian version of Dr. Zhivago. In addition, although the scenes of the train appearing are few, they are very meaningful every time: not only the front and rear of the drill train, but also the transition scene of the train leaving is also a masterpiece. In the blink of an eye, young Italian soldiers from the battlefields of World War I returned on the train.
