In 1942, the Mussolini government sent eight soldiers to a small island in Greece. Among these 8 people, only the sergeant is a professional soldier, the highest commander, the captain, is a teacher who was forced to join the army. The rest are: shy and loyal orderlies, wordy messengers, villagers who love donkeys, and want to desert at any time. The bald old man at home, and a pair of brothers from the mountains who are afraid of the sea.
In short, a bunch of rabble. The inhabitants of the island thought that the German army had come and ran away, which made these eight people spend a few days of trepidation. For example, he was too nervous and killed the donkey of Xiangba Lao, and the sad Xiangba Lao dropped the transmitter (which also led to the fact that they had to stay on the island for the next three years).
The islanders are back. The captain went to paint the fresco for the priest. The only prostitute on the island came to the door, and the sergeant led five people except the two brothers to visit. The orderly was last in line, and when it was his turn, she was already asleep in bed. It was interesting that the orderly helped her arrange her clothes. It was Chinese.
Later, the orderly fell in love with the prostitute. He shot and wounded the "turn" transmitter, and the two got married.
The captain went to help the priest paint the mural, and the portraits of the characters were all his subordinates, hahaha.
A very handsome Turk came to the island, smoked opium for everyone, and stole all the guns and valuables.
Next, they lived on this small island forgotten by their own country. The captain continued to paint, the sergeant led a group of people to play football, the old villager met a woman, and the two brothers also met the shepherdess. They didn't know Mussolini was down until one day when a plane landed on the island. Soon, the British came and picked up these people. The orderly remained.
The dispatcher and the sergeant came out with a load of stuff.
The dispatcher said: Sergeant, I love you.
Sergeant: …………………………? ? ? ?
Make people laugh.
Worth recommending: music, dialogue. very good.
In addition to watching Ozu's films recently, this one is the best. After watching "Floating Grass", this is the most compact Ozu film I have ever seen. But I like "The Flower of the Other Side" the most. There is a strong sense of worldliness in it. Unfortunately, it couldn't be released in the last 20 minutes, so I had to withdraw.
