1900

famous picture from the intro

This 1976 epic movie made some serious impact in my younger years. Leftish (communist) Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci got a dream-team together here; Robert De Nero, Gerard Depardieu, Burt Lancaster, Donald Sutherland, sexy Dominique Sanda and many more convincing characters.

I agree, this looks like old-fashioned cold-war euro-communist propaganda; but it is of tops quality.

The film starts with the death of Verdi in 1901, a popular and classic music composer in Italy. Then it tells us a 50 year story of two boys/men/friends (Robert=Alfredo, Gerard=Olmo) born at the same day. Alfredo is a (Capitalist) landowner, Olmo is a (Communist) peasant and their friendship is tested in the Italian Fascist era.

Some critic wrote:
One of the most perfect historic contemporary pictures ever made. There is a Marxist view about life and about cinema itself in this Bertolucci film: the two main characters, Alfredo and Olmo, symbolize the strike between the two classes of the capitalism - the high bourgeosie that owns the land where they live wiih the proletarian. The picture tries to prove that their lives are different in the way that their different social condition can interfere. In the beginning Alfredo and Olmo are very close, because they are yet young. Alfredo tries to be like Olmo. He sees in his friend as the freedom, that he hasn't. He wants to be a socialist.
