After watching a few episodes of the TV series, I just finished watching the "Naples Four Parts" in one go. This film review contains spoilers, and even the content of the next few episodes, so be careful.
"Do you know what the common people are?" "Yes, teacher." We are the common people, and the common people are fighting over food and wine, arguing about the order of serving, the quality of service, and that dirty floor— The waiters are walking up and down the toasts that are getting more and more vulgar.
The core of the first part will always be surrounded by the word "common people" . The primary school teacher told Lennon that if you don't continue to study, you will still be a commoner. Don't make friends with those people, they can only be them, they can only be masons, Only those who sell fruit can only be those who sell meat. After reading the first book, and even after reading the second book, I was inspired by the experience and effort of rising up and trying to escape birth. This kind of experience has happened to many people around us, who were born in non-first-tier big cities, and whose parents are ordinary working class or even working class, relying on their own efforts to study step by step.
The seemingly vulgar communication methods of elders, relatives, and neighbors, and the minds of those petty citizens, seem to always feel that they should not imitate and learn, but only know how to study silently and escape from that world silently. Relying on your own efforts, you will always climb to a higher level of the world.
In the book, in the second part, Lennon entered the upper class through his studies, and even married into a famous intellectual family. In contrast, it was Lila, who was married to the owner of a butcher's shop. She was uneasy about living as a rich wife. Yes, the first two authors used various details and experiences and lessons to tell girls that it doesn't matter if they were born noble, study hard, and you can always climb out.
But the stories of the latter two tell me that things are far from that simple. Lennon gained status, wealth, and family, began to pursue more of himself, began to engage in extramarital affairs, and finally abandoned the family and divorced. And Lila kept fighting, and continued to learn, and eventually opened a company in her hometown.
This kind of fate trajectory that leads to the same destination can not help but make people sigh that what is more difficult to overcome than the identity of the common people is the deep inferiority complex in Lennon's heart. She compares everywhere, worries that others will surpass her, cares about the eyes of others, pleases her everywhere, and changes herself into what the upper class should be like step by step. And Lila never relies on, never compromises, and always chooses by her own will.
If we saw the growth path of ordinary girls in the first two films, then the latter two are telling you that no matter what happens in the world or what happens, having an independent and tenacious personality is the ultimate weapon to overcome everything.
