The opening of the oil painting slowly pulling the lens

Close-up of feet, walking on the table, his father's advice echoes the words of others. 【Very strange but powerful composition】

Three generations, grab each other's shoulders.

The man in the hat, expressionless, played the accordion "The Internationale" through the cheerful crowd and disappeared into the camera along the train tracks.

The sound of the train, the fireworks suddenly turned on, and it was dark again, and then the scene inside the train reappeared, and the First World War was over.

Looking down at the camera, the kind with shadows, one person enters the mirror first, and one person enters the mirror again.

"Go to work somewhere else and die."

Good is good, but the movie is really not suitable for this length, it is too long, how can I sit there for more than 5 hours to watch a film, 3 hours is the limit.

    I always feel that the roles of De Niro and Depardieu are reversed. Depardieu should play the playboy and De Niro will play the angry youth. As a result, until the end, I was thinking about what would happen when they changed roles.

    Each character also symbolizes its own class position, which can be understood more abstractly and symbolically. In particular, fascism was born indirectly from the rule of the landlord class. Bertolucci is always like this, letting gore and eroticism face the camera without any cover. The grandson of the farmer and the farmer can be born on the same day, can be playmates with each other, can accompany each other all the way, but stand in their respective classes, and there is always an insurmountable gap between the two. But it's also very interesting. In the end, only these two stayed in the homeland until old age. If this was written to the people of the rotten country, there would probably be a little strange feeling. Italians don't tell stories like this, but they probably really feel that the concept of "home" is very different. So, Alfredo and Olmo may not die at the same time, but they will surely end up in their homeland, just like their grandfather.
