意大利經(jīng)典警匪片。《出生入死》從集團(tuán)犯罪的源頭——西西里入手，把戰(zhàn)后黑社會(huì)在西西里乃至整個(gè)意大利的演變歷史和現(xiàn)狀的方方面面進(jìn)行了更為細(xì)致深刻的分析，就像影片本名“La piovra”（章魚）所隱喻的那樣，黑社會(huì)就像章魚一樣，已經(jīng)把它的千萬條觸角深入滲透到了社會(huì)的各個(gè)角落，政界、金融界、司法界、工商業(yè)、新聞媒體，無論是官員、貴族、資本家還是平民勞動(dòng)階層，沒有人能夠徹底擺脫這種陰影，它已經(jīng)和支持社會(huì)的所有骨架血肉相連，成為一個(gè)整體，根本無法斬?cái)?、分解或剝離。和《教父》不同，影片中正邪角色的分配勢均力敵，但無論是正面人物還是反面人物，都被塑造得有血有肉，誰都有弱點(diǎn)，誰也都有其人性的一面。
　　《出生入死》原名,主題是正義一方如何與黑手黨展開生死較量. 這個(gè)劇從1984開始播出.原劇名的意思是"章魚".象征黑手黨的觸角伸向四方,難以斬除.又是一個(gè)極陰森恐怖的形象.整個(gè)劇始終貫穿著令人心悸的氛圍.也是由它出色的配樂營造出來的.
　　這是一部在意大利連續(xù)出品播出已達(dá)20年的電視連續(xù)劇,對(duì)黑手黨的長期斗爭貫穿全片的主題.自1984年開播至今,已播出了10部共48集.在歐洲和全球都享有很高的聲譽(yù).對(duì)莫迷們來說,更重要的是1986年第2部以后,所有的配樂者一直是莫里康.(按CCTV系列編號(hào),為自1-11集起,片頭顯示譯名為:"音樂 恩尼奧 莫里肯")我國CCTV自2001年開始引進(jìn)并陸續(xù)播放了該片.這次自2005.7.13.開始CCTV-1又從第一組開始連續(xù)播放。
