Totally unawares, Saverio, a teacher and Mario, a janitor of the same school in which they both work, travel back in time and find themselves in central Italy at the end of the 15th century. They carry with them an unresolved squabble concerning Saverio’s sister, creating a lot of tension between the two, which will increase in the plot. From this moment on they will have to come to grips with the grotesque situation they find themselves in, trying to "hitch a lift" back to the future in a most outlandish way, using and misusing their foresight of the events taking place round that time, and generally making fools of themselves in the eyes of "normal" renaissance folks. Their meeting with Leonardo da Vinci is hysterical, when they become more and more convinced that the genius is in reality a moron. Another character they meet is Savonarola the heretic, who enjoins them to repent, before he is taken to the stake, eliciting some breezy comment from them. If it weren’t for a weird kind of homesickness, they would quite enjoy living in this period, full of daring fashions and tantalising damsels.
The couple shows great chemistry and is funny in every respect. The psychology of their characters is complex and credible - for once comical roles with a depth. Basically, Saverio is an embittered petit-bourgeois forever attracted and rejected by women, envious of Mario, an easy-going proletarian every woman falls in love with. Saverio is scheming, mean and vindictive as much as Mario is naive, generous and forgiving. What a match of talents: Roberto Benigni and Massimo Troisi at the peak of combined creativity. Too bad they will never come back together for another joint venture. Or maybe it is better this way: masterpieces of this level cannot be improved on, at best they can be imitated. For this reason Non ci resta che piangere will shine like a gem in the crown of the best Italian movies of all times. Sadly not many people seem to have seen it, not even in Italy, where the viewers do not need subtitles to enjoy the hilarious juggling of the two actors with the language, but their body language can be universally appreciated.
If you miss it you will have to repent!
前面一大半超现实主义布努埃尔味笑破肚皮，相当给力！结尾回家这段表面温情，其实是显出人类最后的理性智识能量，非常厉害。小李这几年演戏有点开窍了，不知道是不是和塔伦蒂诺厮混多了的缘故。
其实结合断背山看这个片子就能看懂很多菲尔和布朗克的爱情细节，但是这个片子是个情感复杂的猎杀故事（菲尔和罗斯，乔治和罗斯，菲尔和乔治，彼得和罗斯，彼得和菲尔），一个猎杀一个，黄雀在后。
看似man得要死的爷们 结果也有弯弯的柔情
适当加速吧，这样的感觉太拖沓。
真是萬萬沒想到 前半段‘我實在想太多了’ 後半段‘我想的還不夠多！’ 年輕男生演的蠻好的喔
一个世纪前的同性情感，这是一个对同性无比压抑的年代，导演细腻地将一个硬汉如何逐步表达他的爱呈现出来，福卷那种含蓄而又对爱的渴望塑造得很出色，看到最后才终于明白导演的意图，联系不断回想起的那些细节，细思极恐，这时更佩服导演的克制，将一切看得出的技巧全部藏起来，仅留下人物的状态与心理，但正是这样，才让这个简单的又爱又恨的故事后劲如此大。8
近期看过观影门槛较高的作品，特别是前半段。影片第一句话很重要，叙述者是年轻男配。
用人物状态以及他们和物的互动去叙事表达，这一套用到精疲力尽之后让影片看起来肃杀但是干涩，克制却又满溢。之前简坎皮恩只看过钢琴课，两者有很多相似的感觉，不过我认为钢琴课那一套卡司远胜于犬之力，特别是霍利亨特之于本尼。最开始那朵纸玫瑰从诞生到毁灭的几个空镜真是让我喜爱。
情绪非常到位，整个片子有一种奇异的氛围，怪吸引人的
克制太明显，将故事风格平静转为压抑，从细致的人物描写和多处伏笔上就将故事拉向一个悲剧，男性的阴柔和刚烈，彼得面貌柔弱内心残酷，菲尔外表强硬内心的脆弱，到结局的死亡，孤独的灵魂逐渐阐开，却也象征一个野蛮的旧时代男子以及这个旧时代的落没。同性元素在这部电影里只是一个人物符号，暗喻压抑，也代表菲尔这个多元素所集结一身的人物的矛盾，本身就是作者所赋予的多重人性的指代，在这个远离文明社会的西部地区，寂寞和缺爱导致的刻薄暴躁，在面临隔绝恐怖的爱中，死亡也许是唯一的解脱。卷福依然很让人感慨
6.0/ 优质电影。相比于人们所说的克制带来的平淡，我感到了直白带来的无趣。男子气概多少为前提塑造的角色都颇有刻板印象感，文明进入荒蛮环境的表达是《钢琴课》的重复，但又不如《钢琴课》。
比较蠢，看似全球视角，全片只有一个美国……
2022.3.28 空镜是我喜欢的类型，但是和片子交融的不那么合适，就算是卷福蓄起胡须，也没有西部那种野性的感觉。狂野下的细腻，不可言说的压抑。所以是自己杀死了自己、还是被“羊”干掉？主要很多暗示，不知道是不是我想太多了。
Kate这么危险的异见分子竟然逮几次都给放了，可见美国政府“不行”。
本以为“群星荟萃”的电影肯定流于表面，但出乎意料地扎实。全程讽刺美国社会是最显眼的，在这背后，还有不错的角色。有点好笑，有点悲凉，有迷失有清醒有成长。
“我通过成为男子汉而杀掉我的父，成全我的母”
早说了不要看这种文艺片了，没想到又是。节奏慢到令人发指，情节跳跃严重。。最后讲了一个利用医学知识干掉叔叔的故事。。。当然了，这里面还掺杂着一些GAY的意味。可惜了，卷福这么情深，居然栽在一个小兔崽子手上。。
和预想不太一样的西部片，选角持保留态度，想看原著。。
本尼表演的简短有力的一部，悲剧性从粗鲁的表现和被别人厌弃的剧情中透出。看不进去前半段就沉闷伦理，看进去了就有很多铺垫伏笔。最后所谓的反转，意料之外，情理之中，其实也不算意料之外
You think life is a circle, but it comes with a twist.
