1900

The movie "1900" is a historical drama film directed by Bernardo Bertolucci, released in 1976. The film tells the story of two men, Alfredo Berlinghieri and Olmo Dalcò, who are born in 1901 in a small town in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The two men come from different social classes, with Alfredo being the son of a wealthy landowner and Olmo being the son of a poor peasant. Despite their different backgrounds, the two men become close friends throughout their childhood and adolescence. The film follows the lives of Alfredo and Olmo as they grow up and become involved in the political and social struggles of their time. Olmo becomes a passionate advocate for workers' rights and socialism, while Alfredo becomes increasingly disillusioned with the fascist regime and the role his family has played in it. As the years pass, their paths diverge, with Olmo becoming a leader among the peasants and workers, while Alfredo becomes a weak and indecisive figure, unable to stand up to Attila Mellanchini, the fascist foreman who has taken over the Berlinghieri estate. The film culminates in 1945, with Italy liberated from fascism and Attila imprisoned by the peasants. Throughout its epic runtime, "1900" explores themes of class struggle, political ideology clashes, and personal relationships set against the backdrop of a tumultuous period in Italian history.
