course ours is a strange country ... I was convinced, you never know why, we were a people become numb and anesthetized to all, without any shame and disgrace. But incredibly wrong I was! I must therefore express my most sincere apologies to the 'value' League member David U who with great courage and dignity, took a tough stance against Michele Placido, director who is about to land in theaters with its Italian- Vallanzasca The angels of evil , fictionalized biography of the famous bandit. Says U " Having advertised the mafia in the world and made famous by the bloody north to south of Banda Magliana of Rome, not yet satisfied the bad teacher Michele Placido and 'ascended the pulpit to elevate to hero's ruthless murderess Renato Vallanzasca .
Oooh! Finally someone who is angered by serious things! Other than the nonsense of these days ... so much noise for some 'fling' erotic a poor man who is anointed by the Lord, working all day for us and most persecuted of Jesus Christ! In short, the usual communist plot that is able to raise a fuss out of nothing to hide the true atrocities italic, like this movie blasphemous and heretical signed by a director known subversive and Communist-Old ... and what the heck!
Returning serious (even if it is not easy), if I were Michele Placido absolutely would not give weight to the controversy that accompanied the creation and distribution of its film . Meanwhile, because it's all free publicity (and I think Placido, director already sailed, underneath where the laughs in his sleeve.) And why has not anything really to blame his conscience, as it would be absurd to crucify a director for having filmed a drama about a gangster. As if it were not gangster movies ever filmed, and how if you do not know that, since there is a cinema, the characters 'My Own Private Idaho' was always fascinated audiences, without being emulated or glorified by the public. It would be like Americans, just to understand, accused Michael Mann for directing Public Enemy, the film telling the 'managed' by John Dillinger ... on, let's be serious! So The Godfather? And Once Upon a Time in America? And Scarface, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, The Departed, Carlitos Way, The Untouchables ... if Scorsese, Pacino and DeNiro had lived and worked in Italy would have to be hungry!
Ok, here it is better to close it. And we try to talk a bit 'of the film, which is the most important thing.
The only concern for us cinephiles, if anything, was what to expect from this movie because the director Placido is a more reversible character of Dr. Jekyll, beautiful and very capable of alternating film thickness ( lost in love, A Hero Borghese, Romanzo Criminale ) to untold trouble (see the tremendous Wherever You ol'irrisolto Big Dreams ). No problem, however. I tell you now that Vallanzasca is a good movie. A genre film that recalls the films 'cop' Italian of the '70s, full of rhythm, shooting, action and drifting. And before you know something ... you can argue that in this case this is not a problem: we are not dealing, in fact, not a treatise on the years of lead, or in defense of the feared gangster as the families of the victims, but an honest product which reconstructs very well be the figure of the bandit that the climate of the time without getting lost in the maze-historical sociology. Do not expect, in short, another Crime Novel: This is simply the story of a man who has chosen (though not the need, as he himself declared) to be on the wrong side. Needless to say that most
the success of the film can be attributed to Kim Rossi Stuart , which is great in its interpretation of the 'bandit Italy's Most Beautiful' (as Vallanzasca was called then): the perfectly aligned, so impressive in scope, look, appearance and speech ... a reason more to see this film, and to reject the sender to the controversy created art.
