Fists in the Pocket is a 1965 Italian film directed by Marco Bellocchio. The film revolves around Ale, a young man who is deeply disturbed and subject to seizures. Ale lives in a dysfunctional family where his mother, brother, and sister are all dependent on him. However, Ale feels trapped in his environment and believes that he must kill his family members to save them from their suffering.
Ale's decision to murder his family is not rooted in anger or hatred, but rather in his belief that he is doing the right thing. He sees himself as a savior, who will liberate his family from their misery and help them to achieve a better life. Ale's actions are both shocking and disturbing, and the audience is left to question whether his intentions are truly altruistic or simply the product of his mental instability.
As the film progresses, Ale plans and carries out the murders of his family members. He is eventually caught by the police and taken to a mental institution. The film ends with Ale sitting in his cell, reflecting on what he has done.
Fists in the Pocket is a powerful, unsettling film that challenges the audience's perceptions of morality and sanity. It was met with controversy upon its release, but has since been recognized as an important work of Italian cinema.
