I agree, Siciliano, but I wrote: just to name one.... the list is quite long.

In conclusion, in my opinion, charisma is not just a matter of physical appearance, the way of speaking, or how one presents oneself to others, but also about content, which should be unique and out of the ordinary, all things from which Berlusconi and Berlusconism couldn't be further away.

DeLo, you say that charisma is either something you have or you don’t, and while that’s partly true, from my perspective it’s not entirely accurate. I could find someone charismatic whom you might see as just a wet fish. What I can’t understand is why charisma is almost always associated with individuals or things linked to negativity, even evil, largely thanks to cinema and TV... yet evil often encompasses an astonishing banality, beyond the tragic and despicable nature of certain so-called charismatic facts and figures… figures like Hitler and Charles Manson, considered charismatic, hold no such power over me, for instance... so, in my opinion, charisma is subjective, and furthermore, I believe that charisma should indeed belong to someone or something extraordinary, exceptional, but not necessarily in the negative sense of the term. Consider this, few "good" characters are seen as charismatic, like Gandhi, just to name one. Now, beyond evil and negativity, Berlusconi and Berlusconism are astonishingly banal; they are the antithesis of what is unconventional, of the extraordinary, they are the quintessence of crudeness, of the most base conformism, so I don’t understand how one can speak of charisma in this case. I hope I’ve made myself clear, alas, I don’t have your eloquence, unfortunately.

repelle not repella, ooops, otherwise De Lo will shame me

Come on with this charisma, but where is this charisma in the little satyr?? It repels me, and it's been repelling me since long before, when he was just an entrepreneur and nothing more... charisma should be something else, not the slime that this pig, this operetta leader oozes from every pore... it’s laughable that Paolo Guzzanti writes about mignottopoli, considering he’s part of it too... am I wrong??

Great movie and a nice surprise for me, De Niro as a director...the story is autobiographical, but not for De Niro, rather for Palminteri.

A story that really pissed me off... and if it pissed me off that much, it means the movie is valid. From Clint, I’m looking forward to seeing "Hereafter," I can’t wait to be more precise.

Won't Get Fooled Again is so beautiful that it makes me want to cry... One of those "desert island" albums.

Turkish is not wrong to be against dubbing, but the fact remains that our voice actors are said to be the best in the world; some even enhance foreign actors who would otherwise be mediocre... and then the thought of no longer hearing Giannini’s voice terrifies me a bit. Nice review.

incredible coincidence! I was just thinking about this movie this morning and recalling that poor father who was accused of molesting his 2-year-old daughter and was portrayed as a monster on the front page...then it was discovered that the little girl had a tumor in her anus. I was thinking about this in light of the various orcs and real or presumed monsters that invade the news in newspapers and TV programs...beautiful movie, Volontè, as always, outstanding.
