this movie be splendid . it tell the story of life and basically . the ups and down of a family . it could be the story of my life and or it could be of yours . the action take place in italy and and the movie go side by side with it protagonist . in six hour and it tell the story of their life . an involve and mesmerize and real story . not softened and it actually look real . the action be very well fit into some of italy most important event and and the character have connection with it all and somehow . i admire the script and the labyrinthic action and which be not confuse at all and but be perfectly mixed together . the puzzle and once complete and be beautiful . like someone say in the movie represent everything be beautiful . it have a great cinematography and but pretty discrete . our eye and attention be focus on the plot and and not on fantastic camera movement and or a music video type edit . it a sober and and excellent movie . one that stick to my head and like no one do a long time ago . and do not get fool by it length . you will dive into the screen and and time just seem to fly . really . don not miss it .
