The work of the master is extraordinary

This kind of drift is not out of belief in the Nazis, but because of lack of belief, with a kind of mentality of survival, even if there is something to pursue, it is not firm and persistent. This is a role full of contradictions. Individual emotions are extremely vulnerable in the face of Nazi will and conscience in the face of evil and fear. The male protagonist comes from a disordered family and social order, and has always maintained an unconventional mentality. This kind of character chooses to be a fellow, deepening his mental distortion, so that the story goes crazy at the end. Like he said about his father, not a congenital mental illness. Bertolucci's films are always not satisfied with the storyline, and always express the emotion of life by narrating the story. The character's family background, inner struggle, desire and behavior,... have always been the elements of the master's film expression. The master is always not satisfied with the bland photography and montage expression. We can always see the wonderful use of light and shadow, the interweaving of different photography techniques, and the extraordinary arrangement of characters and scenes in his films.

    The narrative is loose and protracted, the characters are inexplicable, and each seems to be in a different movie. I don't like it very much. When the cave myth was told in a mysterious way, a condescending sage was preaching, and it was almost "hehe". I always feel that the whole film is full of the main theme of political propaganda. I don't know how the original novel is, but the adaptation of this work is really bad.

The Conformist quotes

  • Giulia: Marcello, don't go out. They could hurt you.

    Marcello: I won't be in danger. After all, what have I done? My duty.

    Giulia: But why do you want to go?

    Marcello: I want to see how a dictatorship falls.

  • Giulia: [sexually aroused while kissing Marcello on a couch] If you want... want to...

    Marcello: If I want to...?

    Giulia: Yes, right here... on the floor... on the carpet... Want to?

    Marcello: Better think about the priest. He may not grant absolution.

    Giulia: They grant everyone absolution.
