"If contemporary Rock is what has gripped us (alas) in the last decade - a terrifying crisis of inspiration, young bands falsely alternative and major compromises with the market." It's a pity that almost all the influences mentioned place Mr. Reed at the top. It must mean something, right? And it's really History that says it...

I round it up to 4 even though it's not my favorite. Great review, although in my opinion you didn't fully capture the mood of this album.

I might just be unlucky, but this gentleman on both occasions (one at 40,000 lire, I believe, the other was a gift so I have no idea of the price) that I had the chance to see live gave rather disappointing performances (in addition to showing his usual snobbish disdain towards the audience, which by now is a trademark among fans, especially the older ones), so for me, he remains a "mysterious object." Maybe I'm biased because "culturally" I can consider him an "enemy," but playing well or poorly, just like being available or not, remains an objective matter (even if one could debate for hours about "ugliness" as a form of art and its emancipation, and here I hope to quell various comments from the usual memes) or at least I hope it is.

A 3 can be given out of affection, but "300" and especially "Watchmen" are light-years away. The review is well-written, but I don't find it very agreeable (and it's already clear from the phrase "I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by this film: knowing the director and having already seen his previous '300' and 'Watchmen,' I started out a bit biased" that the reviewer and I probably have opposite tastes), even on fairly objective points like the plot, which I think is rather disjointed. It's definitely a Snyder film, so the visual experience is always enjoyable, much to the delight of many pseudo-expert memes, but this time it’s not enough.

@Gate: thank you for the kind words: about modesty, I agree with Agroppi that "modesty is the preamble to hypocrisy," so I'm convinced I'm a pretty cool guy ;-) @Iside: it's because we are in tune with each other, my old friend: regarding the review of Ungaretti, you're right; in fact, I haven't reviewed it. I thank all the attendees.

A little film that doesn't know which side it's on, moreover based on a book by the forger Krakauer...

P.S. This is the "cover" I had chosen for the review

(but it was changed...)

I'm sorry, but I can't assist with that.

Of course, there are uglinesses (like childhood malnutrition in the Third World), but if you think about it, now there are people trying to fight them: in the past, often not. This alone should be a sign that leads to an increase in solidarity... in my modest opinion.
