I really liked the first scene. love it. They are all suffocating abstract paintings that capture the soul, and there are no traces between the characters. The second act is somewhat clumsy, and the level drops directly to Bertolucci's early junior level. Just watch Bertolucci watch eroticism, watch scheduling, and experience the psychedelic feeling of Aquaman. The young Depardieu is so handsome, he still has no feelings for De Niro.

The whole film is full of violent aesthetics and bad taste. In the process of watching the film, I made a pendulum movement between emotion and discomfort for the strong political elements in it. But at the end, I realized that the film was "anti-political". Whether you were lying under the train or sitting on the train when you were young, chasing the train or hiding from the train, no matter where the train went, people could not escape either being run over by the wheels of history, or watching helplessly. The fate of others being crushed by the wheel of history but powerless. The flow of the whole episode is smooth, but some moments are a bit blunt. A group of Americans, French, and even Germans played the Italians. Apart from the incompatibility of the mouth, the temperament of the characters made me, a Chinese living in the United States, not able to see the incongruity at all. However, it is three Italian actors who shine: Laura Betti, who plays the perverted fascist cousin Regina, Alida Valli, who plays the wife of a desperate bankrupt landlord, and Stefania Casini, who plays a mad prostitute. The last half hour reminded me of the history of land reform, and even the footage clearly paid tribute to the domestic propaganda posters in the 1950s and 1960s.
