The main musical theme of the film was also a great success. Gassman's overbearing and pompous recitation was also perfect for the role. giving in to Teofilatto's plan, the army arrives at his father's castle to demand a ransom. When the murders and rapes are over, a German knight arrives and bravely kills the bandits. The Hungarian bandit comes up with the idea to propose a partnership to a cadet nobleman, so the group can take possession of the aforementioned fief and enjoy its riches. As the band is about to be executed by impalement, it is saved by the knight of the opening scenes, the rightful owner of the fief, thirsty for vengeance against his attackers. It was entered into the 1966 Cannes Film Festival.[1]. Another important theme of the film is male friendship, which was also an important element in movies such as La grande guerra and the later Amici miei. Meanwhile, a confused Brancaleone has to fend off the sadomasochistically-fueled passion of Teofilatto's aunt, just one example of the inbred Byzantine household. The knight they find is the poor and incompetent, yet well-meaning, Brancaleone da Norcia and they tell him that a noble knight handed them the parchment before dying. Brancaleone (who did not know about the attack on the knight) and his army are about to be burned alive when the mad monk arrives out of the blue and saves them from the knight, "so they can fulfill their duty to go onto the Holy Land". Age and Scarpelli devised for the characters a striking, mocking form of a mixture of Italian (including its dialects) and Latin languages, which is probably the main feature of the film and one of the keys to its success. It features Vittorio Gassman in the main role. However, as he is healing his wounds he is attacked by two of the surviving villagers and one of the thieves. presso il tribunale di Rimini - redazione@ilponte.com, I docenti, educatori sociali e sciopero: il lavoro di cura al tempo del Covid-19, RImini, Coronavirus: positivi in calo, terapie intensive stabili, aumentano i guariti (39), Tamponi rapidi, Rimini mette a disposizione tre strutture, Rimini, Covid-19, aumentano i casi positivi, terapie intensive stabili. These include: When finally the band reaches the fief, they discover that the missing part of their parchment mentioned that condition for the granting of the fief was that its new ruler should have provided adequate defences against the "black scourge coming from the sea", frequent raids by Saracen corsairs. The parchment is torn at the lower end, which refers to a condition the knight must fulfill to enjoy the donation. Underdogs and humiliated people were constantly present in Monicelli's art, but in this case they are shown mainly from a comical side. It would instead show "the other face" of the era: poor people, underdogs, ignorance, mud, cold, misery. The attackers try to sell the knight's armor and weapons to a miserly Jewish merchant who finds among his belongings a letter of donation by the Holy Roman Emperor, granting the knight the fief of Aurocastro, an Apulian town. The movie opens with a small Italian village being stormed by a band of Hungarian pillagers. There is no such stereotype left standing: the oppressed villagers are capable of violence themselves (they are prey to the bandits, but join them to attack their saving knight); the clergy, depicted by the hallucinating monk, fanatical to the extreme, always capable of explaining misfortunes by "lack of faith" of his entourage; the miserly Jewish merchant; the heroine/princess in distress, who instead of ending up with the hero asks to be deflowered by another man just to spite him. “ilPonte” percepisce i contributi pubblici all’editoria. Brancaleone is an actual historical name, meaning the paw of lions in heraldry jargon. The plot is structured as a series of sketches revolving around different parodies of the Middle Ages world: it is itself a parody of the classical knights' quest typical of Middle Ages tales. Brancaleone initially refuses the plan but after a farcical defeat at a jousting tournament that promised the hand of an overlord's daughter and a wealthy fief, he is too eager to take command of this "army" (L'Armata) of underdogs and lead it towards "fortune" and "glory", in what he sees as an epic journey. “ilPonte”, tramite la Fisc (Federazione Italiana Settimanali Cattolici), ha aderito allo IAP (Istituto dell’Autodisciplina Pubblicitaria) accettando il Codice di Autodisciplina della Comunicazione Commerciale. “ilPonte” percepisce i contributi pubblici all’editoria. “ilPonte”, tramite la Fisc (Federazione Italiana Settimanali Cattolici), ha aderito allo IAP (Istituto dell’Autodisciplina Pubblicitaria) accettando il Codice di Autodisciplina della Comunicazione Commerciale.
