Review of The Hawks and the Sparrows

To understand the genius Pier Paolo Pasolini we ought to see his past and your thoughts overall, his background is upon the Maxism's look of extreme left in an Italy still polarized in mid-sixties, his roots coming from middle class which he denies, politically speaking he always defends the lower worker class, in this early movie we can see this vision, then he introduces an older Totó and his alter ego Nineto Davoli as two travellers into countryside dully escorted by a speaking Crow, the odd bird tell a tale that remits them to 11th century with San Francis given to them an assignment, speaking with Hawks and birds, Pasolini made an allegory with strong hairsplitting of surrealism criticizing the church, but nothing make sense at all at first si8ght, he walking in a road to nowhere, such vision surely was one form to criticize the Italian society as a whole, as the woman that can't pay the rent of the small farmer all time saying to her crying and starving children that still the night, they must sleep, a minor work from the stigmatized and misunderstood Pasolini!!
