Federico Moccia Scusa Ma Ti Chiamo Amore

Hi Jack Darko, I want to congratulate you, not so much for the review (not because it's poorly written but because it's drawn from a "thing" that really has nothing to say) but for the acknowledgment that you are, in fact, not a lobotomized kid like the vast majority of your peers. Keep it up and smash everything that needs to be smashed. You have my full respect. As for the rest, this big pile of cow dung isn't even worth the money of a pirated DVD or, worse, an internet download.

I haven't seen it and I don't think I want to. And then, dear friend of mine, the reviewer, what could you expect if not a 20-year-old reheated, frozen soup? I'm sorry you wasted your money at the cinema. From the advertisements (when I saw Totti and Del Piero, I felt my stomach churn, with those shots in the style of "Un Posto al Sole"), I feared the worst (which you confirmed for me).
The local problem is that as long as the Vanzina brothers keep making record profits because there are people who only use their brains to remember to eat and breathe, films like this will always steamroll the box offices. Poor us... Look at how badly off we are...

Hi reviewer! This album is among my favorites of the "new Aerosmith" along with Get a Grip and Nine Lives. However, I agree with Defender85: I prefer the big albums from the '70s like the debut album, Toys in the Attic, and the gang. Au revoir!

I agree with those who say that the first Liga had something to say. This album is "nice" but nothing more. The comparison with the Stones is a disgusting abomination that could have easily been avoided. To conclude, Liga is not a rocker (maybe he was or, rather, he tried) but an idiot who writes idiot songs for an idiot audience.

This album is really nice. Perhaps among my favorites by In Flames, alongside "The Jester Race."

not to be repetitive but, I repeat, I "forgot" to review the movie, limiting myself to summarizing it. The fact is that "review written with the feet" seems exaggerated to me. It would have made more sense to say "superficial review," "hasty review," or whatever. Then there are criticisms, and I can take them, whether good or bad. The fact is I've already reviewed another film and I totally ripped it apart. And I intend to review another one, namely Benigni's "Pinocchio," where I will be ruthless.

I tried to visit the site you linked, but it seems like they've taken it down... who knows? The fact remains that I completely agree with what you said. Jesus was truly an extraordinary person, and his messages were, are, and will forever remain fixed in history. His work is indisputable. His verve, his spirituality... his essence and charisma. It's a shame that mankind exploits everything for personal gain. We are in a damned era. It is an era in which the representatives of God on Earth and bearers of the Christian message are the first who should take a serious look at their conscience (and I'll limit myself to this). But it will never happen. There are too many interests behind what is called "religion."
On the other hand, I am content to be a believer and practitioner, trying to follow the message of Jesus and what I have read in the Bible. The Apocalypse, well... when it comes, we will see. Honestly, I don't believe a word of what is written there. I rather believe there are symbols and hidden messages concealed behind the arcane verses of the Apocalypse.
I repeat: I am satisfied with fulfilling my soul (or conscience, whatever you prefer) in my small way, trying to follow the message of Christ. A man who allowed himself to be killed in one of the most cruel and heinous ways for having committed no fault other than stating the right things and performing human acts. Much more than those who called themselves "learned": scribes and Pharisees. Today they are no longer called that, but the essence is the same.

mmmh... you’re right. In the heat of describing the film, I completely forgot to review it......

@Vic: I didn’t know about these things, but, as they say, you never stop learning. However, I am fully convinced that the Church, understood as an institution, is irredeemably and unequivocally corrupted. For me, institution is synonymous with corruption (in the broadest sense possible). But it’s also true that we shouldn't generalize. Just because we see a priest on the street doesn't mean we have to beat him up or curse him. Maybe that poor soul truly believes in what he does and says. I am among those in the latter category. However, I completely disdain various things, including the countless assets (real estate, movable property, and liquid assets) of the Vatican, this people who claim to speak on behalf of humility but have a pope who walks among the people wearing a ring that could feed half of Africa; an individual who calls himself "His Holiness" (but who decides that?). One must always have filters in their eyes and recognize what is right from what is not. Unfortunately, it’s not easy, and it isn’t so for everyone. P.S.: As you can see, I am not a staunch defender of the pope and the Church...

Oh my God... But can you see that, in the end, we say the same things? I DID NOT SAY that they were wrong to manifest! I said they were wrong to do it because they didn’t even know what the pope had to say to them. Well, now I’ll tell you: he was inviting everyone not to stop and to continue their search. He encouraged young people to continue in scientific research and the search for truth. Truth understood as light, synonymous with Jesus Christ, which must always be present and never dissoluble.
This speech (summed up in two lines) might or might not be liked. However, at least let them say it. Then you can contest it. But there’s more. The pope, in his speech, does not condemn science nor, even less, does he order it to stop when it clashes with scientific truth.
Now, it is true that there were 67 physics professors who stopped the pope, and it is equally true that the university was occupied by a hundred students. And the others? We are faced with a minority asking the majority to do what the minority wants.
But that’s not all. There are respectable scientists who are atheists. But there are also just as many believers. I, for example, have a friend who is part of this latter category. He works in Boston at a research center that finances, through its research, the arms industries (and therefore the construction of new weapons). After a while, he withdrew from there.
What I want you to understand is that science is a wonderful thing. But it can also be a monstrous thing. This is because man does not set any limits. And here, we are not talking about the freedom of choice of a Jehovah's Witness in refusing a blood transfusion. But what is being conveyed is a sort of caution, to impose some brakes on greed. Which, from a thirst for knowledge, inevitably transforms into a thirst for money and interests. And this is an irrefutable truth.
I conclude with this story. Mine. Two years ago, I fell ill with an apparently incurable disease, which leads me to feed exclusively intravenously (IV). I cannot ingest anything solid. My entire gastrointestinal system is destroyed, and it is unknown what caused it or by whom. They removed a stage of colon cancer. But nothing has changed. Now I can nibble a bit, but always within limits. I cannot eat ANYTHING. Should I hate God for this? Perhaps. But if all the science of man could, in some way, make me feel a little "less bad" (I only settle for that and not for feeling a little better), then I would be devoted to science. But if that were to imply something monstrous from a moral and religious standpoint (for example, creating human beings in a laboratory and then offering me their parts to eliminate them), then I would let myself die.
That said, I’ll step down and close. He who has ears, let him hear (Jesus Christ teaches).
P.S.: Vic, do you think Jehovah's Witnesses are also satanists?
