Rome Open City
The film Rome Open City perhaps has no rival to the human aspect as well as clarity of purpose of the producer's present day realism masterpiece. From the very onset, the intentions of the directors are known when they ensure that this film ‘Rome Open City' puts together the narrative on how the Nazi occupied the city of Rome as well as how brave the resistance by the gallant Italian forces were. It does no matter how many times one watches the movie, the scene of a woman getting shot from behind while she runs through one of the streets is disturbing to watch as it portrays acts of barbarism.
Acts of a similar nature raise concern among the viewer's regardless of the reasons given to vindicate them. Furthermore, the plot of the film addresses the plight of the group that formed the Italian resistance who fought against the Nazi government's occupation. The characters in the film are unforgettable as they seemed as experienced in acting the film's cast. In some scenes, there are dramatic turns around where transitions in shots bring out the abrupt nature of happenstances in the film. The finality of acts and scenes in the film are extraordinary and stand out to be the best in the history of film making. However, the movie cannot be defined as an act of neo-realistic nature since it is considered to be groundbreaking as well as a great film in the cinema industry.
