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!

且看且珍惜，工藤新一大号又不知道多少年后才出场呢，真史上最惨男主！（另，新兰永恒。）
4.5。非常適合艾倫·索金的題材，從文本到結構，甚至導演技法，都隱忍卻風格顯著。只是結尾的渲染略有點強硬的感覺，不知道是不是純粹我觀感出現的問題。
最后的结案陈词说得人心沸腾，政府并不能代表国家本身，国家真正做主的应是人民本身。抛开电影回到反战这个点，美国人反战反的是他们的士兵与钱财在战争中受损而非战争的本身，这大家都知道的吧，毕竟“the whole world is watching”。
情绪是在的，也理应被调动，但并不是每次站起来都要配乐慷慨激昂一番的，Sorkin做导演就有点太陶醉自己了，以至于我反而想看个纪录片冷静冷静。

至少不要人云亦云，不要以为自己的出发点是“无敌”的，是“好”的，就停止思考。
Over dramatized, over political, over biased. The editing is not good either.
当七君子的形象取代了严肃的议题，就无所谓对错了，历史总是这样，当真相借由更易传播的载体，往往稀释甚至转移了真正的焦点，但如果没有更大众的视角，普通人不会对没有生活重要的事分散注意，就像片中说的，一些人活在50年代，一些人活在60年代。我不喜欢群众运动的主要原因在于，因为容易激化和被引导，到最后都是形式和手段变成了主角。
当然仅代表我个人偏见~
你看到了政治的黑暗，看到了强权，看到了人性的恶和善，看到了一个国家政府层面的失败，但你也看到了一个了不起的制度。知道啥叫大国自信了吧？

另外让我很不舒服的一点，这也许也是美国六十年代嬉皮士运动他们的局限性，追求反叛和自由的他们究竟是为了全人类的和平和爱，还是仅仅为了反叛父权，反叛父权代表的政府。究竟是为了越战牺牲的所有无辜的平民（无论是参战的士兵还是当地的百姓）还是为了自己和身边的人免受战争的征召，这种没有被逼到绝境的革命也许从开始就充满了软弱性。难以信服了。
好久没有看到这么节奏紧凑的剧情片了，开头短短几分钟交代故事背景，剪辑衔接得也十分自然流畅，还不时穿插一些小幽默。
Be rational, be spiritual, be devoted, be strong, be inclusive, be righteous, be a man-- u see, the world is watching!!!
