peasant song

After reading the interview with Reed in Duku 1500, I really wanted to watch this.
After watching it, I thought it was an epic film. It was very long, 5 hours and 15 minutes. The life of Italian peasants has never been known. When it comes to Italy, most people think of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Roman Holiday, and at most Mussolini. Why Mussolini and Fascism? This movie seems to tell me. The lives of those Italians in 1900, the film spanned more than 40 years, and experienced two wars. The son of a peasant and the son of a landlord experienced things that their ancestors did not expect in these 40 years.
To be honest, I can't understand some places. The peasants gathered and sang at every turn. The singing moved me very much, but I didn't understand why the supervisors and the police were so afraid. The music left a deep impression on me. I looked for the soundtrack of the movie, but unfortunately there is no singing part.

    The landlord is dead, Alfred is still alive... Different classes are destined to take different paths. Another epic film by Bertolucci, the five-hour viewing is mixed with emotions of sadness, contradiction, helplessness, entanglement, and irony. The dramatic character journey is evocative for reflection. The part where Parisio died was so cruel.

    masterpiece! ! Bertolucci's 5-hour epic of ingenuity is thrilling and deeply emotional. It is like a vast and informative humanistic picture scroll. Every shot that unfolds is chiseled into history, and every cry is integrated into human nature. Dramatic tension with a sense of oppression, from the beginning to the end of the film, grasps the hearts of the audience all the time - the story takes place in a closed, remote or rather traditional to a bit primitive small town farm, but it reflects the modern times of the country during World War I and World War II. In the process of transformation, the conflict between good and evil and ethics, the struggle between ignorance and awakening exudes unparalleled brilliance of humanity, and the ending of evil is still at a loss after the appearance of madness, leaving meaningful hints and adding to the shine of the movie ——And, the dedication of all the professional actors and extras who appeared on the screen is great! A standing ovation and tearful tribute to all the creators! ! // PS. "A Splendid Life" is a perfect successor to this film, and jointly wrote the thick and colorful century of Italy in the 20th century.

    [Grabs his hand]

    Alfredo Berlinghieri: Feel my heart.

    Olmo Dalco: [Knocks him away] What heart? You're just sick in the head!

    Alfredo Berlinghieri: Maybe you're right. I don't know, I'm going crazy. Ada's gone and I can't find her.

    Olmo Dalco: And you come looking for her in my bed?
