Recently, I have been reading old movies that I watched more than ten years ago. I have no experience in my memory this time. I am afraid that I am being too rational, thinking too much, and losing a lot of viewing pleasure. Many works by Golden Harvest and Art City in Hong Kong in the 1980s may have been influenced a lot by this film. The psychological activities of the characters are black-bellied as voice-overs throughout. The main characters and actors are a handsome but chubby male protagonist and his smarmy wife. Of course, this work is more advanced; the background of the times (the loss of memory of World War II and the decline of the nobility), the outdated influence of religion (the Italian Catholic Church did not allow divorce before 1970), the character (the decline of nobles and upstarts), etc. There's as much sardonic irony behind "The Wife Killing Story" as the malevolent joy on the surface.
In fact, there are many similarities in the image: thin and tall, small head, handsome enough, both good and evil, can be a declining noble , a demolition party, it can be an artist, it can be a cold-faced evil star, it can be frivolous, it can be serious, and the play is quite broad, but as a star, there are not too many star-like characters. Of course, Alain Delon is slightly inferior. One chip, who let him hurt "Princess Sissi". I especially liked this movie.
At the beginning, on the train, the crowd is in the picture, opening the door to reveal the male protagonist. The male protagonist began to narrate, went to the dining car, the close-up series filtered out the interior space, and followed the narration to look beyond the car window, which was the vast plains of Italy. Then go back to the southern town where the story takes place. During the week, important characters will appear one by one. In the schedule, the wife "Lianxinmei mustache" is compared with the beautiful and innocent but silent and shy lover
At the end, the male protagonist was laughed at by the people in the town, and he had to passively arouse the feeling that his dignity was hurt in his heart. When he tracked down his wife and his eloquent lover, the lover's scumbag wife started one step ahead of him. He also ran up the cliff in a panic. After being blocked by the cliff, we heard a few shots from outside the picture. The voice-over sounded again, and the picture that reappeared was the wife's cemetery. The wife in the cemetery was smiling brilliantly in the photo. So-called black comedy, killing is for black people, and comedy is to try not to show the killing scene. If there is, it must not have a sense of reality association.
[Italian Divorce] is also a great source of inspiration for current filmmaking.In fact, I hear many students submit similar ideas every year. After the exposition, I always emphasize "sarcasm" and "criticism." The greatness of Piato Jamie is that he satirizes the complexity of systems and people, and though by no means his characters, he always retains a kind of understanding of characters. Piato would describe Feifei's complicated tricks in detail. There was a scene where Feifei went to the city to buy a tape recorder. He happened to meet the lawyer who had just defended the woman who killed her husband and got a light sentence in an open-air restaurant. He gave the lawyer a bottle of wine, and we What I saw was the lawyer gobbling down pasta. At least the lawyer, who seemed to be sanctimonious, was more wretched than Fei Fei. His wife, Rosalia, tends to be more exaggerated in appearance and action details, and in her thirties, she is coquettish and whimpering like a girl. There was a scene when Rosalia poured coffee for Fei Fei. She was coquettish one second, and the next second she yelled at the servants who were making soap downstairs, and even rushed downstairs to continue. This is undoubtedly an unpleasant lay woman, but when it comes to her past love, she is as graceful as Fei Fei's cousin Angela in the image, but in reality, marriage always needs to be mutually beneficial, so she was born into a nouveau riche family. She is married to Fei Fei, a fallen noble.
In the end, the male protagonist was only sentenced to three years for "killing his wife, who cuckolded him to maintain his dignity," and he could even be released from prison because of the amnesty. However, his results were not good. Although he held the beautiful woman back, it seemed that he got what he wanted, but on the small yacht in the last game, what he saw was a beautiful cousin with a beautiful body, but we saw What's happening is that the cousin's feet are quietly reaching out to the young and handsome crew, and the two feet are teasing each other. Maybe "killing the husband for dignity" is quietly brewing.
Another thing worth noting in this movie is that Piato Jamie used a lot of ink to describe this southern town. As long as the characters walk out of their private spaces, the crowd will appear. As many as 4300 people. And these modest strokes are actually expounded upon the true theme of the film. In order to make these idle strokes not too rigid, in addition to Fei Fei's voice-over to connect, Fei Fei's sister and her fiancé always made a buffer or transition in their trysts everywhere.
The most interesting part of the film is the banter on the night of the rape. The whole family went to the town to watch a movie, and Fei Fei’s voiceover specifically explained that this was a movie that was criticized because it was indecent and pornographic, talking about wife swapping and sex, but what appeared on the screen was a rush of people, and the entrance to the cinema was already crowded. Feifei's family also dressed up to watch the movie, leaving Rosalie alone at home (she claimed to be unwell). Feifei pretended to watch it, and made a mental plan. Rosalie was going to cheat. Tonight was a good chance to catch rape. This movie is called "Sweet Life," and the main actor is Mastrojani. In a comedy, veteran fans can also see another interesting part.
