When 3 former Partizan(Italian guerrilla against the Nazis forces in the Second War World)and friends tear apart when the great war was over,their destiny flow in different ways,while Antonio(Nino Manfredi)and Nicola (Steffano Satta)only survive with underpaid work,Gianni Perago(a huge Vittorio Gassman)an average lawyer gets success when he marries Helade,the dummied daughter of a Count and Commendatore(such as a Governator to the American people)called Romulo Catenacci one rich elder,and Gianni handles the business of his father-in-law,allowing him to get a comfortable way of life,Luciana(Stefania Sandrelli)was fired by Gianni after she left Antonio,and her career as actress gets a relative success,when Antonio met her again,she had made a new life with another guy,in the final scene Luciana,Antonio and Nicola discover the new brand life of Gianni,and they came away when it was obvious.Gianni deceive them because he turned a haughty and greedy guy,but without who is ashamed of who,Scola left us with that final doubt.
Great movie indeed,maybe the lapses of time could be not so clear and the ending was not so worked out,but if it had happened this movie would be perfect!,to name extraordinary cameos as Marcelo Mastroianni plus the genial Federico Fellini and in the celluloid Vittorio De Sica and his masterpiece "The Bicycle Thief",another underrated movie in this link,Perhaps Are crappy films as "Batman Begins" or the overvalued "Pulp Fiction"(What a filthy scene of rap ism against that black guy!)superior than that jewel?I would ask for all the American people to watch more foreign movies with quality and without CGI,FX neither PC special effects banging your head.
This movie can show about the value of the friendship,love,thankfulness but in this material world those stuffs matter less than any special effect of the "Green Screen",open your eyes to end up such mistake. "We wanted to change the World,rather the world changed us" an amazing phrase told by Nicola,it's to never forget.
Watch more good movie,less junkie virtual reality!
