Today gladly publish a review about a movie capolavoro.Parliamo of the twentieth century, a 1976 film directed by Bernardo Bertolucci.
The review is from Wikipedia:
Plot
The film tells the story of two Italian born the same day (January 27, 1901), in the same place (a large farm Emilia), but on opposite sides: Alfredo is the son of the wealthy owners of the farm, Berlinghieri; Olmo is the son of Rosina, widow of the same peasant farm and does not know who his father is given the promiscuity in which farmers lived in the early twentieth century, segregated and exploited during the day and night like beasts of burden. Just the peasant struggles and the first Great War, Fascism and the partisan struggle for the Liberation then, are the focus of the events that follow one another, with the center, and for guiding the lives of two friends-enemies, played in adulthood by Gérard Depardieu (Olmo) and Robert De Niro (Alfredo).
Burt Lancaster in the role of the grandfather of Alfred, and Donald Sutherland in the role of violent, cynical and ruthless Attila, called by its ferocity subjected to the devastating power to represent the arrival of fascism in a country where the rich middle class began to fear the different socialist organizations in defense of workers, are some of the other faces of this unforgettable film. But we can not forget the granddaddy of Olmo, Leo, the head of the family of Dalcò, played by Sterling Hayden's cousin, Alfredo, Regina, Laura Betti paints with great craft, Olmo's wife, played by Stefania Sandrelli and Dominique Sanda, wife of Alfredo too sensitive to bear to stand by her husband's guilt, his eyes had not left his farm out of the ugliness and the atrocities of that period of political and social troubles.
The last part of the film is linked to the opening scenes, when, during the longed Liberation Day, Attila is finally executed in the cemetery, facing the graves of his victims, and Alfred is taken hostage by a boy armed with a rifle received by the partisans. Olmo, believed dead, reappears and staged a show trial to Lord Alfred Berlinghieri. The bond of friendship prevails and Olmo "conviction" Alfredo to a virtual death (actually rescued from a lynching), initially poorly understood by the other villagers, but eventually accepted in chorus with a wild ride and liberating the camps, under the huge red flag grown and kept hidden during the two decades. The police go on to say to urge supporters to disarm and to accept their Olmo first to lay down the gun, after firing in the air to symbolize the execution of the vile and wicked part of his dearest friend. Alfredo and Olmo began as a joke again, squabbling like children. The film ends with the two friends, now elderly, continue to fight in the places of childhood, with Olmo who continues to hear the voice of his grandfather in the trunk of a tree and Alfredo who kills himself as the funny little stretched on for fun train tracks.
