The film is about the life of the Italian people during the fascist occupation and the struggle of Italians against fascist oppression.
Even in the context of war, there are still people who are firm and unyielding, such as engineer Manfetti, and people who are compassionate and righteous, such as worker Francisco. The film uses a unique artistic approach to the praise of positive characters, with a clear stand.
The film is the pioneering work of Italian new reality film. Even if the experience is lacking, its realistic techniques are worth analyzing and learning. This film reminds me of the plot of war films in the early days of China's liberation, and it also makes me feel like I'm watching a documentary: with simplicity and realism.
The last thing I want to write about is Father Don Pedro, the last words he said were "Lord, forgive them", he reminded me of God, what he did and said was born of love. Whether dead or alive, the soul cannot be betrayed, and even if the body dies, the spirit has eternal life.
