The second time I contacted Rossellini, the undefended city of Rome only insisted on watching the beginning and could not continue.
This is okay, more documentary flavor, more realistic, through the struggle of a little boy, killing his father, and suicide to show the poverty of post-war Germany and complain about the inhumanity of the war.
What I like more is the series of treatments before the little boy commits suicide. He joins other children to play football on the street, climbs up the dilapidated and empty building, takes off his suit and rides on the slide, and then he dies. Gradually deepen, tear people's hearts.

    The CC version, the original German pronunciation, the Italian version has a "central idea" at the beginning. The Italian taste of this film comes mainly from music. Nazi pedophile, although the teenager did terrible things, one is to survive and the other is to remain a child. The motion shots are very smooth. The new realism masterpiece, the environment actually plays a key role in the story. When the record was being sold, Hitler's speech suddenly sounded in the ruins, and that minute was really a touch of magic.

    Rossellini's exquisite neo-realism, the lens is very realistic and stylized, but the logic is a bit confusing. Rossellini is good, simple and easy to understand, not so obscure
