"Veteran experimental filmmakers Danielle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub helmed this unusual adaptation of a novel by Elio Vittorini. Focused on the triumphs and failures of a group of laborers and farm hands who pooled their resources to operate an alternative collective farm after the end of World War II, Operai, Contadini features a cast of 12 actors who read aloud from Vittorini's book for the duration of the film, either reciting from memory or using a clearly visible script. Hardly designed to be a crowd pleaser, Operai, Contadini proved to be controversial among the audiences for its showings at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, where it was screened as part of the Directors' Fortnight series." ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
"The group makes up a primitive community which seeks to erase not only the distress created by the war but also the hardships of life and hunger, and to protect them from violence, misery and fear. Amid the ruins of this post-war period, the characters build and invent a rapport both in their professional and daily lives between themselves, the sexes, generations, diverse social and geographical origins, and antagonistic political camps.
The group maintains a 'register', a kind of diary, as if it were entering the minutes of an inquiry or a trial." -Steve Grayson
"my favorite Straub-Huillet films are Too Early, Too Late and Operai, contadini (2001), both color landscape films with especially acute senses of place as well as of nature in all its harsh beauty." - Jonathan Rosenbaum
西部片的味道挺足，但很多细节方面不够严谨，比如老亨利躲在草窝子里跟劫匪们第一次近距离接触，我不知道他是怎么一下子就骑马跑了，在三个人围剿的情况下，他根本就抬不起头，爬走的能有这么快吗？还有最后在他家门口跟群匪的战斗，我就不信那么多人朝他开枪，没一个能打中他，还有他儿子开门出来对射，居然也能全身而退。不管西部片的氛围营造的再地道，细节不严谨那就跟那些抗日神剧差不多了。近期看的《接住子弹》比这更差
西部片的复兴，演员们全片演技在线，剧情步调正常，尼尔森耍枪俐落帅，反派多尔夫也坏得到位
两星半；老派西部片，情节简单的和邵氏武侠片一样，以西部片名人比利小子为噱头，唤起观众们的西部情怀，人物非常扁平，故事也毫无波澜，从一开头就能猜到结局的电影
结局在有点意外不过也在预料之中，老炮儿这一生活到现在还有个儿子，已经很满足了！！！
想看西部片就能看到这么朴实纯正的西部片真好。
很传统很正统的西部片了。正所谓惹老实人，一时善念，麻烦缠身，岂料揭开不为人知的过去，终究该还的还是要还。
西部爽片，节奏把握不错，渐入佳境很吸引人。
前面氛围营造的不错，但是最后的大决战也太儿戏了吧，反转也是草率
6.7/10 尚可，观影前需要了解比利小子的背景故事，不然全程谜语人
值个三星半把，放在今天有这样纯粹的西部片确实不易。但把它放在那些优秀的西部片里比较来看，就显得很平庸了。
感受就是，黑吃黑真可怕
完成度很高 每个人都有强烈的人物风格 老枪手要不顾一切救那个年轻人 是对自己小时候被救的一种报恩? 这个设定与他整体出世的态度存在矛盾
故事不够丰满的感觉吧，因为有期待这种西部片至少有两个小时。
开头野外捡钱的一段神似《老无所依》。扮猪吃老虎的爽片，大白天的正面硬怼一挑12，哪怕兰博都得事先埋炸弹靠机关。话又说回来，老亨利这江湖老手了，深知不义之财来得索命，他不应该捡钱才对。一看就知道肯定不是网飞拍的，老亨利怎么可能死呢，如果效果好观众买单，肯定要整个续集的彩蛋才对。
绕了一圈还是回到原点
故事简单老套了一点，不拖沓，浓郁的西部风情是我喜欢的。摄影不错但也可能是风景本身太美的原因。
大隐隐于市，Billy the kid应该隐藏在城市，一望无际的农庄太容易暴露
3.5，故事很简单，但是完成的非常高，大量的环境描写有别于传统的西部片
you go see it
搜了一下还真有billy the kid这个人
