The smell of a good man dissipates in the marketplace

/2018

Lazzaro (Adriano Tardiolo) is a young farmer with a pure heart

Tancredi (Luka Chicovani) is a pretentious young nobleman

He was forced to experience life in the isolated town of Inviolata

And the reason he's out of place is because

He comes from a modern city outside

Can't get used to this small town still ruled by slaves and tenant farmers

Being squeezed for kindness

fooled by ignorance

The town is ruled by the Marchioness Anosina de Luna (Niccoletta Blaschi)

Monthly "Routine Checks"

This is the day these kind villagers take the most serious

They look forward to one day being free from debt

They hoped that the Marchioness would allow them to come and go freely in and out of the town.

But every time the exchange is a deeper level of exploitation

At first this entrenched hierarchy

To a certain extent, it hindered the establishment of the friendship between the noble boy and Lazaro

For Lazaro, he doesn't know what a "friend" is

Just listen to his words, take care of him and accompany him

Later, Tancredi directed and acted a kidnapping farce for the purpose of fun.

and ask Lazaro for help

The farce didn't drum up the outcome Tancred wanted

Instead, an unexpected call to the police

Expose this "isolated", culturally backward, slavery hamlet

This turned into a huge scandal in the tobacco industry

It turns out that the Marquise has been treating these kind-hearted villagers in an illegal and inhuman way.

Villagers are driven out of their original villages are educated about modern laws and institutions

This indoctrination came so late

It's not that the Marquise can make it happen

None of the villagers has the courage or the idea to break this unequal relationship

Their kindness is exploited and fooled

It has been maintained in its most primitive state of life for many years

This kind of non-aggressive thinking is also the incentive for them to be manipulated

Is time still a punishment or a reward?

Even aristocrats still have a noble attitude

Often say too much

Lazaro still cherishes a sincere and happy friendship with the nobles

He's afraid the nobles will feel that he doesn't value the friendship

had to think over

Emotionally sluggish Lazaro just stood and thought like this

Even if it rains and gets sick

This is the only thought in Lazaro's mind.

He's so innocent

You look into his eyes as if you can see your heart

So the moment you fall off the cliff

Everyone is so nervous that good people shouldn't say goodbye to the world like this

The director did use magic realism to make time stand still

Lazaro is not getting old, his status as a good guy allows him to freeze time

When he wakes up, the world doesn't change for him

Years are just a dream time

It's a reward for good people

The first thing Lazaro can think of when he wakes up

Just go back to the small town and look for Tancredi

But the town was found empty

Helpless, he embarked on the road of search and encountered the same group of thieves one after another.

He doesn't know how to distinguish between good and evil

Everything in the world is beautiful in Lazaro

He was never sad

Until a fateful twist brings him back to Tancred

The temporary shock did not change the dilemma of reality

Tancredi is no longer a nobleman

But Lazaro still considers him an important friend in his heart

And this "insincere" invitation made Lazaro really sad

But in fact, for Tancred

The decline of the family has left him with only a little bit of poor self-esteem.

Or that he really wanted to invite everyone over to dinner

It's a pity that my situation is not as good as it used to be.

already powerless

Seeing everyone dress up and prepare wholeheartedly, but in exchange for nothing

Lazaro is ashamed, sad for his friend

Until he heard this explanation "It was the banks that took everything from Tancred"

It's the so-called "bad guy"

So Lazaro came to the bank with what he called a "weapon"

Lazaro is convinced of the lies that Tancred told when he was young

He thought he could finally get justice for his friends

It's a pity that no one wants to know too much about the story behind this kind man

Bank staff and citizens experiencing panic

final use of force

It also pierces the phantom of the last hope in this kind man's heart

Lazaro doesn't understand why he's being treated like this

He's just trying to get justice for his friends

Now he's not sure about anything

Time stands still, making him look even further behind

Because the only thing he has behind is a kind of dull good person mentality

it's a punishment

good

Give him the hope of "life" and also give him the doubt of "life"

let the notes follow him

Let the world deceive and use him

The world should learn from his kindness

The world should also be alert to his stupidity

Happy as Lazzaro quotes

  • Marchesa Alfonsina De Luna: Human beings are like animals. Set them free and they realize they are slaves locked in their own misery. Right now, they suffer, but they don't know. I exploit them, they exploit that poor man. It's a chain reaction that can't be stopped.

  • Marchesa Alfonsina De Luna: He who knows himself well is humbled in his own presence. And the praise of other men provokes no pleasure. If I were to know everything in the universe and scorned the charity who would bring me the grace of God? Who would judge my actions? One should go beyond the thirst for knowledge that is the root of distraction and disappointment.
