This film is known as the pioneering work of Neo-Italian Neo-Realism. The story takes place in Italy at the end of World War II. The story of an opposition leader Manfadi escaping the German army's wanted story has drawn many characters and divided many story lines. , which highlights the brutality and cold-bloodedness of the German fascists from one aspect, and also highlights the revolutionary spirit of the Italian people's struggle to resist and strive for freedom and happiness. I think the theme of this film can be well explained in the words of Father Don Pedro: "It is not difficult to die well, it is really difficult to live well". In order to realize the independence of the nation and the happiness of the people, revolutionaries like Di Manfa have a heart that lives to the death. They are not afraid of hardships and persecution. fight against fascism. But Father Don Pedro's performance is the most unforgettable. In fact, he doesn't know Manfadi's true identity, but out of love, he bravely helped those in need and helped the revolutionary parties pass on the great news. funds, hid members of the revolutionary party, processed them with false documents, and tried to transfer them. Even if he was shot at the end, the last words he said were: "Lord, forgive them." At this moment, he was really like the Son of God, Jehovah, who loves people all the time.
It is not easy to die, and it is not easy to live. It may be easy to live in peace with one's soul and dignity, but it is not easy to maintain the original intention and live with the people first. The death of Tangpi's Luo, Manfadi, and Pingna was a meaningful death. Although their bodies died, their spirits were immortalized.
