see!?! I had a completely different idea about the meaning of that song and now that it’s not as beautiful as I imagined, I’m left a bit like this... it's better not to know, better not to understand, better not to deal with de Gregori’s lyrics and in general with lyrics.

And what did he reply to you, if he replied? Will it have anything to do with Pavese (I mean Pablo, the song)?

And now where can I find this movie? You write very well, sparking interest.

Beautiful, I'm putting it among my recommendations... but does time never pass for me? I'm dressed the same as the first day of high school, same attitude and same music, hoping I die before the jazz phase arrives (but I'm sure it will never come) ;) ...I don't even know who they are, but that's my rule in your reviews :) hi mien

I haven't seen this movie in ages, but I remember it pretty well... well, Beetlejuice, still talking about Burton, I like it much more, really much ;)

I found it beautiful, timeless (that's why the soundtrack and the Converse) and some scenes, the central ones, are of incredible joy... say what you want, but ceremony is always on point ;) ...the review deserves credit for approaching the film from the right angle: nothing historical, just an investigation into youth and the life of a person who has lived little and too much. A nice film and a nice review, in short.

I don’t think he’s a neo-Nazi or anything like that. I just think he’s not the moderate and balanced user that everyone sees. Above all, I find him excessively lacking in taste… writing about these bastards on the Day of Remembrance is something I simply can’t conceive… to think about the aesthetics of Nazi hierarchs, to feel fascinated by it, on the day when television shows images of living skeletons reduced to non-life for no reason (as if one could possibly find a reason for such horrors) is a lack of sensitivity that I find intolerable. I believe that teaching students to memorize some novels, rather than boring them with “I Promessi Sposi” and D’Annunzio, would reduce this fascination with violence, which Bjorky talks about and which is completely absent in me, to what it really is: mere nonsense for cowards, who can’t raise their voices in public and then walk around armed to the teeth. The problem is that people forget: 60 years after the conflict, Mussolini talks about referendums and is on TV day in and day out, the Savoy family demands compensation for their exile (they could exile me instead) when everyone knows that Mussolini is a product of the House of Savoy and that the king could have swept him away before the point of no return… and we forget the racial laws co-signed by the king. Everyone forgets: for example, the Polish neo-Nazi party is the largest in Europe, and if such idiocy is possible, it’s because there are people who feel attracted to this nonsense. Many well-meaning folks justify everyone’s words, and that’s utterly wrong. We shouldn’t justify anything at all; rather, we need to judge as much as possible. We must erase the graffiti left by fascists (Naples is full of them) on buildings and create museums, raise awareness, and conduct a Ludovico treatment based on Primo Levi and other novels that describe the war for what it is and not for what we think or for what we see on the big screen and with rivers of tomato sauce.

What a trip these comments are. I'm going to see it tonight and I already know I'm going to like it ;)

a heated opinion

oh nick be careful... I have the lighter in my hand: if you catch me, there's going to be a mess.
