I don't know too much about Italy's politics. The ones I met who came from there said it is bad and corrupt. This is all I know. If I knew the details maybe I would see the movie in a different way. But as a foreigner it was just bad to me.The whole movie felt like communist propaganda. All politicians are evil, some fisherman will come and really care about people giving away money to them. They even have a scene singing a song about Che Guevara. The scenes where he throws his family and friends under the bus for illegal activities remind me of communist propaganda in Russia where a boy got his father killed for "truth". At the end there are a few minutes where he says that we are all crooked and should look at that and start the change with ourselves. Was a beautiful message but too small in such a long movie that feels like promoting a totally different thing.I would even rate it higher as a communist propaganda if it at least was funny, but it wasn't. Here is where I think there might have been a difference if I knew more references. But I doubt it would be that big. The actors are good but nothing they say or do is very funny.

Just great, watch it, really what politic is in Europe. In Italy, France, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Germany or Austria. Well I know there is no President in Spain or Germany but you get the message. And it's very funny. Just watch it. And again. And again. And maybe one more time ! OMG, and there is no G, I can tell you... Rules here are more extremist than in Italy, they try everything to keep my review away. The president guy is funny and real. The president guy is real and funny. Wll Ms omdb is still fighting me, I don't think she would about a movie reporting to the guy obama but OK I get the rules, the local rules anyway./
