Countless awesomeness!
1. Three male protagonists, spanning 30 years, show the changes in Italy after the war, and the script is extremely challenging. The author uses a woman, Luciana, and a restaurant, Half Portion, to connect the story, while breaking its coherence, with a cloth style.
2. The language of the film is extremely rich: ① Black and white → color, the node is located at 1/2 of the film, and the three protagonists go to three different paths respectively; ② The expression technique in O'Neill's play "Strange Interlude" is flexibly borrowed to highlight the lyrical characters, and For the dark scene of the surrounding environment, Scola also made deformations (Elide monologue) on different occasions, with rich layers; ③ The three opening "different repetitions", longer scene, different lines, are reconstructions of the film; ④ Freeze, narration, flashback;……
3. The three protagonists come from different regions and represent different social classes, while the two women, Luciana and Elide, remain the same, and the other progresses independently in "being shaped". Each character deserves to be delved into, especially Elide's monologue, Elide's posthumous dialogue with Gianni, and the tragedy of Luciana's quest for dramatic passion (the snapshot's facial expression changes foreshadow its future).
4. Antonio, as a representative of the author's thought, a follower of communism, has a relatively positive character image. Although Nicola has a correct point of view and often argues, she lacks action and finally achieves little. Gianni, opportunism disguised as progressivism, loses hold of ideals, and ends up being one of the corrupt as the person most likely to improve society. This was already clear when he chose who to marry.
5. Shows the labels of Italian cinema, neorealisn in the 1940s, Antonioni in the 1960s, and the influence of television. So far film and television classics, including Desica's "The Bicycle Stealer", Felini's "La Dolce Vita", and even filmed the scene of the film.
6. The three main themes of Scola's films: cinematic disappointments, failed expectations in love and politics.
