"Newsweek" commentary, talking about the scene of Georgia being taken away by the police, causing the brothers to choose different life paths, the source of Matteo's tragedy may be here:
For Nicola, the more gregarious, easygoing brother, it leads him to a career as a quasi-Laingian psychiatrist. For the intense, angry Matteo, terrified by intimacy, freedom proves too threatening: he abandons his studies and joins the police, seeking refuge from his demons in a world of rules and regulations.
Here is a sentence Depicting matteo as "terrified by intimacy, freedom proves too threatening" might be easy to overlook. After the whole film is over, go back to the two brothers' trip to send Georgia back home, and you will have another insight.
How to enter Georgia's self-enclosed and helpless world, Matteo devoted himself sincerely, however, what did he gain? She worked so hard to bring georgia back to her dad, but was told to be nosy, so she got into a fight with her dad; and georgia made a big fight with him in the rain because the drawing book was peeked, making him aggrieved to death , Doubt about the relationship between people, too close to each other will hurt each other; and in the end Georgia was taken away by the police, the escape operation failed, his accumulated frustration after failing the exam has reached the extreme, and the two brothers officially A different path was chosen.

Then, the news of his father's death came at this time, which made him mentally burdened again, and his emotions were out of control. He drove fast, so the scene of arguing with his brother, embracing and crying, was heart-wrenching.
One of the episodes that puzzled me is: When Matteo first saw the wanted notice for his sister-in-law marked as "terrorist" at the police station, he asked, what should I do if I encounter such a wanted criminal? Colleagues told him bluntly that he could be killed directly. Similar scenes appeared again and again, and Matteo wiped the wanted avatar of "sister-in-law" again and again. It is conceivable that he imagined the encounter with the "sister-in-law" sister-in-law more than once in his mind. At that time, what should he do? He couldn't simply follow the orders, not only because she was his "sister-in-law", but also because he understood what her sister-in-law was like. Perhaps, it was this incentive that made Matteo more irritable, and even more intolerable that the world was black and white, making him viciously question a rich man on New Year's Eve, accusing him of using his power to pass the crime on his servants.
The "librarian" came to the police station, which seemed to bring him a first-line hope of rescue. However, in the end, the two phone calls were not connected, and the fireworks outside the window aggravated his loneliness. determined to give up everything...
