#roma città aperta and also paisà had HOPE tho that's the thing about germania anno zero that fucked me UP

[sensazioneultra]

watched germania anno zero and now i can't stop crying

#like quiet crying the one when the tears seem to never stop #god i never watched such an utterly tragic film... so sad and so full of horror... to think i've experienced that through the thoughts and #emotions of a child #it's so? wow #immediate reaction was that this was my least favorite in the antifascist war trilogy #and it might still be true but it's been 20 minutes since it ended and i'm so shaken still and... this one hit me so hard #and i personally give importance to how i react to film emotionally even if having a strong reaction doesn't necessarily equate to the film #being good! #i'll need to think on this when my mind's clearer but well in this case there's no doubt the film IS good i mean rossellini is.. rossellini #i think paisà is still my favorite and then roma città aperta and finally germania anno zero? but this can change #roma città aperta and also paisà had HOPE tho that's the thing about germania anno zero that fucked me UP #the ending is so brutal and there's no hope like there was in the previous two #what's very interesting to me is that germania anno zero is the last in the trilogy. the latest one #and it's the most bleak and hopeless!! that's so interesting #germania anno zero was released in 1948 paisà in 1946 and roma città aperta in 1945 #now to put that into perspective - roma città aperta was released in italy in september. not even SIX MONTHS after the liberation of italy! #all this makes me think there was more hope immediately after the liberation and then the more the consequences of such a devastating war #were seen the more the hope was lost #then obviously there's the fact the first 2 films were set and shot in italy meanwhile germania anno zero is about germany (post-war) #i'm not sure how but that probably has weight too in why germania anno zero is so tragic #anyway all very interesting and now i've calmed down lol #nico.txt
