presidente-3

For the people of my age (born 1933) to see "L'armée des hombres" is a return to "The better years of our life" when the bads were on one side and the "goods" on the other. In this hearth breaking picture the people who lived on the "dark side of the moon" can see what has happened after the war, in that picture is showed the story of Jean Moulin, the chief of French Resistance, tortured to death in Lyon by Klaus Barbie, called the Lyon butchers, but the butchers of Lyon are right to protest they are meat workers non thugs), after the war Barbie flew in Bolivia helped by CIA, became a weapons merchant, and only at the end of 80 years (the Berlin wall was fallen) he was arrested and died in a french jail. Recently I had the luck to see the restored and complete picture (in Italian version 40 minutes were cut), it tell a never ending history when men who want to live free chose to die on foot rather than to kneel Presidente - 3

Good Italian movie in black and white, telling a true history of Italian resistance against German and Fascist. The title means "A lions day" ad is derived from a phrase written on a wall during First World War, near the resistance line of river Piave in 1917: "is better to live a day as lion than a thousand years as a sheep". The picture contains many episodes that those who lived these terrible years remember well: mopping up of young peoples, bullying of Germans and fascists, the life of partisans in the worst conditions. The actors do their best, moving the moment when one of the partisan is compelled to shot one of his university companions, in order to avoid the capture.
