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!
passive cynical unapproachable老东木变温柔了！
“老兵永不死，只是渐凋零”
一个老人、一个孩子、一辆车，很像他93年的那部《完美的世界》，只是近30年过去，这部老爷车已经没什么油了，观影中我很难入戏，不是电影不好，而是东木太老。如果骷髅人能走路，大概就是这部电影里伊斯特伍德的样子，我甚至害怕一阵风就把他刮倒了。他比《骡子》时更老了，还那么艰辛的拍戏，我已经成了哭泣的男人。
老爷子演技不错 剧情节奏太拖沓了 不如预期的好看
惊悚片一定不是，西部片也不是。如果你喜欢看Clint Eastwood的片子，看了后虽然觉得没那么好，也还是不太想骂街，谁知道为啥
老人、孩子与鸡。一场乘着夕阳之光而行进的公路电影。东木年事已高，在他的创作中已十分明显，有着一种不愿面对纷杂纠葛的慈悲与和蔼。
剧本弱，片中最有男子气概的角色竟然是一只鸡！
东木老爷子都九十一岁了，致敬！喜欢被偷的那辆红色越野车～
东木大爷的电影已经不能用正常电影的评判标准去看了
观后感:结尾出乎意料，我以为农场主欺骗了kid和东木，于是一老一少便留在了墨西哥小镇过平静的生活。
温馨公路片，但有点太平了，老头子这么大年龄了还在骑马（假的）就有点假，后面遇到酒馆老板娘一家人那里很温馨。
伊斯特伍德在这部片子里确实老了。不是老而弥坚，也不是英雄迟暮，而是一个固执老头逐渐凋零，走不动路的那种老。
首先不得不感叹老东木身体之强健、精力之旺盛，音乐品味也一如既往的好。但到了这个年纪，也不能要求他部部精品，何况还是自导自演，这次剧本实话说有点随意和敷衍了，片中并没有一场真正意义上的危机场面，当然也无法寄希望一个90高龄老人上演出格的演出（只是坐马上的镜头就让人心惊胆战），缺少戏剧冲突也更突显出温柔如水。而一些明显是在跟自己做道别的细节，挺感慨的，并且再让自己置身西部世界和来上一段浪漫的黄昏之恋，对他一辈子的西部情结也是最好的谢幕方式了。
09.23.21 Respect, Eastwood in his 90s, make me think of the the former Cap America. Whole life macho, serene eternity is all that cry for.
大概就是铁汉柔情，另一种结局的《廊桥遗梦》，故事圆满了果然就不刻骨铭心了。另外这个小男孩一些角度太像24k goldn了。
看了三分之一……墨西哥小演员实在是太一般，伊斯特伍德要配合他，本来91岁高龄都有点演不动了……两人几乎是尬演……台词生硬。故事线ok，但各方面都不足，甚至略显业余。伊导是91岁的老头了😭可怕他摔倒了…
在有生之年真的是看一部少一部，希望老爷子能一直健康长寿！
比预期要好，东木的影片向来情感真挚，可总少不了一丝说教味，在车上与男孩的对话是一种自嘲，对于牛仔/硬汉精神开始进行思考，在精神上有了一丝突破，期待他今后的创作方向。
西部慢调，抚慰人心。希望老爷子一直拍到120岁
很无聊的公路片，东木太老了，还黄昏恋，不合理
