This is the movie are about the labor class and problems they faced.
Group of labor working in a factory in Italy was facing the problem of working 14 hours a day.
They have no medical reimbursement or medical claims or no insurance for fatal accidental nor getting the perks of normal working class.
It started when one of the workers got his arm struck in machine and had the fatality.
Labors were fed up with the routine accidents and continuous work for 14 hours.
The fatality is due to tiredness and fatigue caused by 14 hours' work.
The coup was organized by one of the members running the alarm of closing call at a earlier time for labor to exit early from work.
He was subsequently faced the consequence from the management.
Finally, a professor(Marcello Mastroianni) arrived to instigate a wide fight by staging a strike and what happens next during and after the strike is the story of the movie..
You are sure to cry in the end .
The Story is purely based on the causes for creation of labor law where labor was forced to work for14 hours and reason for the unions to form.
You can understand the reason for the philosophy like communism or Marxism.. Probably current generations including me do not know the importance getting a daily 3 times meal and a proper place to sleep and have cloths to change daily.
These kind of movie shows how the above basic necessities were not available to the commoner.
In one of the dialogues, farmer told that factory worker is much more gifted than them implying the farmers were much more in pathetic conditions( As always in every country like india).
Director Mario Monicelli is known for his both comedy and also the tragedy shown in small details.
In a very small scene with a small detail he will show the greatest agony.
For example, Elder brother who works in factory beats is younger brother to study well in order to avoid this criticalness and poverty and to live better life. Professor looking at the food always showing his hunger even though he has the opportunity to live a better life with his wife. An Ethiopian always watching people eating food and thinking for his own poverty stricken family and so on.
Watch La grande Guerra 1959(Mario Monicelli )to know such above nuances and in every small part of scene they have showed the agony.
Marcello Mastroianni has his own way of producing a classical acting and his presence is always noticeable through out the movie.
Agonies of the labors.
