Rome, Open City 1945
Una colonna del neorealismo italiano. Rossellini con maestria mostra la vita quotidiana durante la guerra e con pochi mezzi e con riprese semplici ci fa percepire, a distanza di quasi 80 anni, la tragedia della guerra e le situazioni che i nostri nonni e bisnonni hanno dovuto sopportare.
Interessante il fatto che non sia possibile individuare un solo protagonista, perchè alla fine il protagonista è tutto il popolo italiano che si ribella ai tedeschi.
In tutto il film compaiono anche bambini, che sono centrali nel finale, che simboleggiano speranza e innocenza.Translated from by -

Port of Shadows 1938
One of my favourite poetic realistic films.
The chemistry between the 2 main characters is amazing and many consider the actress the first example of femme fatale.
The camera describes the scene and it's very fluid in motion. Many elements have a hiddend meaning, one that stuck with me it's the frequent presence of fog (that evokes the title too)
There is a sort of connection between the beginning and the ending thanks to the dog.
There is just one fight scene thta made me laught because it's not very realistic, but apart from that is a very good movie that I recommend.Translated from by -
It Happened One Night 1934
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
It happened one night is a Classical Hollywood movie that set the basis for the current romcom genre.
Directed by the famous Frank Capra, it tells the story of young runaway heiress who is trying to reach nwe York and a broke journalist that sees the opportunity for a big story and accompanies her.
In those years there was "The Hays Code": a set of moral guidelines for filmmakers to follow. We can see that the movie is made according to those rules: for example at the end we just see the wall of Jerico falling down and everything else is left to the imaginationTranslated from by
