Foreigners are known for their "big brains".
Recently, Netflix's new film has allowed us to appreciate the opening of foreigners' brains to a new level.
The film is so big that the protagonist digs a 400-square-meter artificial platform in Italian territorial waters, then gathers a group of people to declare a state on this artificial island and appoint officials with care.
This absurd storyline comes from a new Netflix film:
The Incredible History of Rose Island
Let's first understand the plot.
The story takes place in 1968, when the Council of Europe, which mediates state disputes, receives a strange commission from a man who is constantly shivering in the cold winds, claiming that his country faces the threat of "annihilation" from Italy.
The committee members listened with amazement as the man talked about his experience...
The man' name was Giorgio Rosa, an Italian engineer whose technical house features allowed him to build his own new car, but he also did not know how to license the car because he did not understand human nature.
The technical freak is not popular in this society, and once he could not find a job, he even ran to the racing track to hold up a sign for the driver.
By chance, Rosa saw an advertisement about "overseas drilling", and he had a sudden idea and decided to go overseas to "build a country" out of thin air.
Rosa said that by mobilizing an electrician to become his partner, the two men embarked on a difficult "road to nationhood." They dragged all kinds of building materials to the open sea of Rimini, Italy, and drilled the "foundation" every day.
From time to time, they also have to face the ridicule of passers-by.
This 400 square meter of space became their natural sea view room at night, but it seems that the safety factor is not too high...
A few days later, the offshore platform was built by the two men. They came up with the next trick to lure curious people to the island with a seductive slogan, which was not bad.
For a time, the miniature island nation became a meeting place for young men and women, and Rosa also opened a bar on the island for people to drink and have fun.
With the rise of momentum, Rosa began to form his own government team, and his friends around him hung up the titles of minister of defense and foreign minister, and Rosa also presided over the regular meeting of government affairs.
They named the island "Rose Island", and the regime called it the "Republic of Rose Island".
Italy learns of this and decides that Rosa's purpose was to evade taxes, and then issues a warning of Rosa's expulsion, which leads to the scene at the beginning of the film where Rosa asks for help from the Council of Europe.
But Rosa's appeal to the European Commission infuriated the Italian government, and the president decided to end the farce directly by force.
Faced with the threat of artillery fire from the Italian military, Rosa and his friends joined hands to protect the island, and a "battle" with little suspense began...
History has long had prototypes, and the plot is more exaggerated than the movie
The film is based on historical events and is set in the 1968 "Republic of Rose Island" incident, which is more absurd than the series.
In 1967, engineer George Rosa invested in a sea platform of more than 400 square meters in a sea area of the Adriatic Sea, and the following year, Rosa suddenly established a miniature state called the "Republic of the Rose Island" here.
Although the "land" is not large, Rosa, who is very laid-out, has developed shopping malls, bars, post offices and other places on the island.
To add to this, he also issued national stamps on the island, produced a national flag, unified the entire Chinese into Esperanto, and prepared to introduce a currency called "Mill" before the collapse of the regime.
The Italian government's response was crude and crisp, with it recorded that Italy took over the island and blew it up with only 4 gendarmes and a few tax collectors.
It can be said that less than the strength of a police station has pacified the regime.
After the "subjugation of the country", Rosa tried to "diplomatically mediate" to save rose island, and made a stamp against the background of the bombing of rose island to win outside attention, but with little success.
Eventually, the history of Rose Island faded over time.
Since the sea area chosen by Rosa was not part of European territorial waters at the time, it was theoretically even a war of aggression waged by Italy.
To this end, the United Nations has amended the Convention on the Sea, moved the boundaries of its international territorial waters, and raised the original 6 nautical miles to 12 nautical miles, thus avoiding the recurrence of a farce like "Rose Island".
Fly to freedom with your dreams! Under the absurd farce hides the bloody core
Both in history and in the film, the Rose Island incident is a complete farce. However, under the artistic processing of Netflix, some bloody elements have been added behind the absurd plot.
First of all, about dreams and efforts.
The protagonist Rosa has the shadow of Cervantes's Don Quixote, and the goal he pursues is divorced from reality, but he faces the dream with full enthusiasm throughout the whole process, paranoidly in front of the madman in the eyes of the outside world.
And his spirit also infected the people around him, and a group of similar people revolved around the island, making all kinds of unrealistic efforts.
At the end of the film, Rose Island is blown up by the military, and a group of people are expelled, but the words of Rosa's girlfriend reflect the attitude of the gang:
It doesn't matter if the dream is gone, at least it is enough to work hard.
The second is to paint a picture of a free utopia.
The film also involves thinking about freedom, Rosa and others are dissatisfied with the repressive state in the real world, and the rose island becomes a "peach blossom garden" for them to escape from the world and enjoy freedom.
Here, they are not bound by the provisions of the law, people can choose the most comfortable way to wander in this small world, and they also enjoy a free, uninhibited utopian life.
During Rosa's telephone talks with the Italian president, Rosa shouted his freedom slogan:
We want unfettered freedom, not your conditional freedom.
For the sake of his utopian dream, he even engaged in a fierce verbal battle with the Fuehrer on the phone.
In addition, the joint efforts of everyone at the end of the film to protect the island have unexpectedly added blood to the film.
Rosa's team is full of real-life frustrated people, including a wandering woman who is pregnant but can't understand the father of the child, a tramp who has been stripped of her nationality because she escaped from the battlefield, and a mediocre electrician...
Gathered by Rosa, they come to Rose Island, where the "Wood Scraps Alliance" finds their own freedom.
In the face of the Shock of the Italian artillery fire, the weak and small, despite the fear in their eyes, they still held hands to "meet" the artillery fire, and resisted the intimidation of several shells in succession.
This forced the Italian government to cancel the shell attack and take the group of lunatics away in the form of soldiers landing on the island.
Shoot a ridiculous story with a funny shell to shoot the hot blood core, Netflix can really have yours!
This film received a high score of 8 points on Douban, and this absurd farce with dreams was unanimously praised by netizens.
As one netizen commented, "Dreaming is a desire, thinking is an action." ”
From a neutral point of view, we will not overly evaluate the right and wrong of these people's absurd actions, but on the point of putting dreams into action, let us pay tribute to this group of ridiculous but sad people!
