Plots(1)
Set in Italy, the film follows the lives and interactions of two boys/men, one born a bastard of peasant stock (Depardieu), the other born to a land owner (de Niro). The drama spans from 1900 to about 1945, and focuses mainly on the rise of Fascism and the peasants' eventual reaction by supporting Communism, and how these events shape the destinies of the two main characters.

Well, I haven't really watched many longer films than this. It was really a lot, but on the other hand, I have to admit that Bertolucci had it really well thought out, and there's always something happening, and there's development, mainly thanks to the great acting performances. Let's face it, those familiar faces compel you to keep watching a little longer.
