At first he joins Garibaldi's army but at the ball scene from the end he says that the ones who fled to join Garibaldi will be shot and calls them traitors. I must admit I am a little confused? If someone can please clarify this for me. Maybe someone who has read the book.
Thank you

Thank you very much for your response. Now it all makes sense.I know very little of italian history. Great film!
shareAre you sure that was a change in Tancredi? He never seemed particularly idealistic to me. I think joining the revolution was also opportunistic on his part. He is a natural politician, choosing the side that will best suit his future plans, and is fittingly asked to run for office at the end of the movie.
There isn't really any character development in the movie at all. The future just becomes nearer for the young characters, and the end becomes nearer for the old ones.

If they're representing an entire group too much character development wouldn't make much sense.
