almost 5_i almost stopped watching in the beginning so heavy handed & corny_but it's a good story really well done the cast is excellent_yeah war is obscene evil & stupid and my country is still at it_really what is justice anyway_and yeah why do the poor suffer for the insanity of the rich & powerful...??? beautifully filmed so much pain in this film and you can feel it
A very great and deeply expressive movie, operatic in feeling; bravi, tutti!
Although overly dramatic and sometimes resembling a propaganda film, there is a strong story and believable, for the most part, portrayals. The overarching theme is how the poor and defenseless suffer during war and afterward, in this case the people of an Italian village under the rule of the Nazis after Italy was no long considered a trustworthy ally by Hitler. Well worth seeing.
Wonderful movie, very touching.
