I watched it with free school tickets at Belcourt Theatre the next day of Thanksgiving. I missed the first 25 minutes in order to eat brunch, but it didn't have any effect on the later plot.
The deepest impression is in three points: 1. The change of Alain Delon's eyes from the beginning to the later; 2. The bad nature of people can see the clue from the beginning, and his biggest weakness; 3. The homeland to a person importance.

1. At first, Rocco's character's eyes were compassionate and fragile, even when he looked at Nadia after joining the army. Then when he also started boxing, he put on a fierce mask, as in the last newspaper, even though his heart was still as kind as before. Alain Delon has checked out some subtleties, and his acting skills are really good.
2. Simone was seen not to be a great player from the very beginning of training there. He refused to work hard, pursued the extravagant life of the Milanese too much, and was already addicted to women's lust. Somewhat paranoid. This is a weakness of human nature, in stark contrast to the god-like Rocco. Also a warning to everyone.
3. The local feelings of Sicilian people seem to be particularly heavy, such as . There is a line in it that is particularly impressive. I don't remember how to say it in detail. The general idea is that we are the most natural only in our hometown. Yes, I left my hometown at the age of 12, and everything I did after that was learned, learned the customs of other people in other cities, not the most natural thing that came out of my heart. In the feasting and feasting of the big city, some people can keep a good heart like Ricco, while others go astray like Simone.

I also want to say that Italians speak so loudly, and it feels amazing that there are good friends in a corridor.

I just watched everyone's movie reviews and remembered what Cira said to her younger brother Luca at the end. Cira is the youngest of the grown-up brothers, so he is also the most city-like in appearance, and has washed away the Sicilian philo of Rocco and Simone's Sicilian loyalty and brotherhood above all, and has become more individualism, Turn yourself into a typical urban working class through night school study. It also reflects the urbanization of Italy in that era.

    Simone Parondi: No, I box with passion.

    Nadia: With feeling? Yeah, well, I work with passion too!

    [referring to the photos of boxers on his office wall]

    Cerri: Like them. Good morals are the first requisite for an athlete. That means that women, cigarettes, drinking, and many other things are taboo. Absolutely taboo.
