YMMV / 1900

• Award Snub: Being an Epic Film, this film had potential to be an Oscar Bait movie. It was way too pro-Communistic for its own good, and the extreme Gorn and sexual content likely didn't help, either.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The cat-headbutting scene. You know, because Attila was EVIL.
• Genius Bonus: This film, suffice to say, will make much better sense if you have a cursory knowledge of Italian history, years 1900 to 1945.
• Ho Yay: Olmo and Alfredo, big time. As boys, they examine each others' penises. As adults, when both are in bed with the same woman, one jokes about groping the other's penis.
• Moral Event Horizon: Attila gets several. He goes from headbutting a kitten to death, to raping a young boy and smashing apart his head against a wall, to gleefully executing local communists.
• Narm: In one scene, a peasant cuts his ear off. It's meant to be horrifying, but a combination of Special Effects Failure and the fact that the peasant doesn't so much as blink spoils it. Also, the aforementioned splattering of the little boy's head against a wall. It, too, is meant to be horrifying, but it splatters just like a watermelon.
• Special Effects Failure: The aforementioned ear-cutting and head-splattering. Also, the scenes with snow. It resembles shaving cream.
• Squick: One scene features a pig being gutted. Another features a man masturbating a horse's anus to try and get it to defecate so he can throw its feces at Attila.
