During World War II, retired Italian soldier Gri. Marti, claiming to be a general, flaunted around and deceived people. However, he was captured by a German officer who exposed his identity. To save his life, Gri colluded with the Germans to impersonate the deceased General Rovire and infiltrated the concentration camp to gather intelligence. During this time, he personally witnessed and experienced the brutal torture inflicted by the Germans. At the final moment, he realized the truth and willingly joined nine prisoners in facing a firing squad, shouting “Long live Italy” at the end. The film stars Vittorio De Sica, born in Italy, who was an important director in the revival of Italian Neorealism after World War II and an exceptionally talented and charismatic actor. His "Bicycle Thieves" (1948) is an in-depth study of the lives of the working class in post-war Italy, reflecting a natural style. His significance at that time is historically considerable. He dedicated his early years to acting, making his professional stage debut in 1923, and was quite a popular stage idol and singer in the 1920s. After the 1930s, he also took on directing. The film "Children Look On," directed in 1942, holds great significance in his directing career and is regarded as a pioneering work of Italian Neorealism, possessing tremendous value. Most of his films were scripted by Cesare Zavattini. He is a true giant in Italian cinema. The film is directed by Roberto Rossellini, a master of Italian Neorealism, who, alongside Giuseppe De Santis, Luchino Visconti, and Vittorio De Sica, is celebrated as one of the four major figures of Italian Neorealism. The year 1945 was particularly proud for Rossellini as he successfully filmed "Rome, Open City." In 1949, he met actress Ingrid Bergman, and they fell in love. Their daughter Isabella Rossellini has appeared on the covers of 500 magazines in 50 countries as a famous model. In 1985, she officially entered the American film industry with a role in "White Nights" (1985), and the following year, her bold performance in "Blue Velvet" (1986) caused a sensation, making her a part of Hollywood. She was married to renowned director Martin Scorsese for four years and is currently with actor Gary Oldman.
