In the real society & the real people who made history The
film begins by describing the social and economic living conditions in Italy. Everyone is looting food, the living environment is poor, and the people are struggling.
Then it depicts an ordinary Italian family, the soon-to-be-married Francis and his girlfriend Pina, and introduces important figures in Italian history: commoners, women, children.
Next, pastors representing beliefs and religions have been silently helping engineers and covering up the Communist Party's resistance.
As the engineer escaped, he betrayed everything on behalf of his soulless girlfriend who pursued material pleasures, and was eventually abandoned by the Nazis.
During the interrogation, there are Nazi officers who represent evil and insidious, and Nazi officers who reflect on themselves and realize their mistakes.
Simple but unambiguous story structure, everything happens naturally.
Of course, the main line of the story is that the identity of the underground party member engineer was exposed and was hunted by the Nazis. The Francis family hid the engineer. The Nazis learned that the engineer had searched Francis' home and arrested the engineer and Francis. Bina was killed in excitement. The engineer and Francis were raided by the guerrillas. They escaped and went to sleep at the house of the engineer's girlfriend, but they didn't know that the girlfriend was a traitor and told the Nazis about their transfer plan. Just in exchange for a comfortable material life, the engineer and the priest were arrested, the engineer died during the interrogation, and the priest was shot.
There are not many scenes in the film. The most important thing is that the
interrogation room is a very interesting place in Francis' house and the Nazi interrogation room . There is a door separated by the officers' extravagant and relaxed life, playing the piano, drinking and playing cards. On the other hand, there is a cruel interrogation room. The engineer would rather die than give in, the priest is silent, there is a strong will in the air, and the scene of the engineer's death even has a sense of the martyrdom of Jesus.
In the end, almost all the key figures became freedom martyrs. However, in the future of the motherland, the children will continue to walk on the road of seeking freedom.
There are still many touching details. The film seems to be shot in a realistic way, using the most simple lens language. It seems to be out of the script and out of the drama. However, the viewer seems that everything has been exquisitely designed, link by link. Makes up a chain, the rings include perceptions of society, perceptions of the Italian populace, perceptions of religion, perceptions of Nazis, and so on, so I think it's a film history and a cinematic sense Great work.
The reason why the movie became the current movie seems to have started from this period. After that, the drama of the movie weakened and the reality increased. It is interesting to think about it. If there is no this short-term aesthetic revolution, the movie we see may be At first glance, I feel that the writer is acting, just like watching a drama, which is also quite interesting. Of course, this aesthetic change will inevitably happen, even if it is not in Italy in the 1950s and 1960s, it will also happen elsewhere.
