***************************

The film is rich in content，such as collusion between Doberdò and government officials; Califfa helped Doberdò persuade workers; A series of warnings around Doberdò; Doberdò's family conflicts; Doberdò and other factory owners infighting; Mrs. Doberdò and Califfa face to face conversation; Doberdò's son run away.....Until Doberdò was murdered，I believe that every fan will appreciate and interpret it. It is worth mentioning here that the last two conversations：（012657-01:29:02）

..................................

817

01:27:34,348 --> 01:27:37,524

You, men, are capable of making love even during an air raid.

818

01:27:40,005 --> 01:27:42,970

For a woman, instead, love means peace.

819

01:27:44,142 --> 01:27:45,785

Peace, good God, peace.

Califfa wants to talk about her as a woman's basic requirement-Peace and Equality, obviously, this is a topic that Doberdò would not like to discuss, so he interrupted Califfa's talk twice.

This is exactly what the director Alberto Bevilacqua wants to express theme--Although both of them have love，but they are unequal. It is shown in the lyrics of the theme song by Alberto Bevilacqua for Sarah Brightman: ".....the cruelty of the proprietors has seen in me just a dog, which puts itself at your chain."
