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!
有人为了自由能舍弃一切，有人为了职责能奉献一生。
好像很多事都是这样，这世界也是这样，不是非黑即白的。
温情满满的劫持人质事件，最后曼德拉出狱了，这是改庆祝还是……
他喜欢男人但也想跟女人有个家庭
i know that all the colonial shit and apartheid were very brutal, might be much worse than the time of Hitler, but movie wise, please give a rest.
看神尾这副样子别有一番风味。。。suki🥹
虽然两位都是我喜欢的演员，但我还是更推荐剧版情感描写更细腻
电影拍的有点中规中矩了，我个人觉得还是小说好看。神珠再次出演了一个有故事的男同学。女主内八走路我有点担心她的腿。很多场景拍的还是挺美的，满分100，我给75。
Captain, what's the price of freedom?
我不知道答案，我只知道还好有电影，还好有音乐，还好有诗歌，书籍，还好有思想
追求自由的故事总是让人向往、感动。Captain, what's the price of freedom? I don't know. Everything.
是接纳自我，重建内心。
拍的过于立场化了，不喜，估计南非的观众口味决定的吧。
最后一幕拍的真好。whats the price of freedom? everything.
南非也可以拍出这么有格调的电影，一切为了自由！
FREEDOM in South Africa.
直到今天 依然存在种族问题 直到今天 美国依然混乱
黑人兄弟们在获得某种程度的平等和自由后。风靡世界的“黑命贵”运动又走向另一个极端。
南非黑人自由的代价也是一段刻骨铭心的历史，本片的渲染很到位。但最后过分的洗白就有些过了
