Who really knows what would happen if he came back... what he would think and say...
Certainly some reactions in the film are focused and true. The Duce would find an Italy without identity, which has lost hope, "... with its head bowed staring at the screen of a telephone, in a state of perpetual coma, depressive, .... without dreams, at the mercy of the media social issues, which make you lonely, envious and full of resentment".
In any case, the film doesn't take off and loses, remaining anchored to David Wnendt's film, losing originality and credibility, attempting to fit the German script into the Italian adaptation.
Montanelli would not have liked this film which remains immature and easily takes refuge in comfortable morality rather than extricating itself from political construction. A real shame because an excellent opportunity was missed.
Fascism gave and took away from Italy. Today, as then, the Europe of the great democracies is a mess of incompetents, incapable of any long-term vision. Then the embargo of coal and other raw materials on the Bel Paese laid the foundations for the Rome-Berlin Axis, just as today the lack of pulse prevents us from guiding the continent towards clear and decisive choices.
These great democracies were able to make their voices heard in Africa and Asia, creating much worse social disasters, poverty and war, which still have their effects today.
I wonder with what courage they can still point to Italy and its past.
Quoting the film "I died to absolve the entire Italian people who would otherwise have been called to assume their responsibilities" "Democracy is a rotting corpse. Who are the good guys? Who are the bad guys?" "Where is the Homeland!?"
One question, the last one that screams and hurts. Where is the homeland?
Torn apart by attacks, by political parties trying to dismember it, sold off to foreign multinationals in its excellence, humiliated by corruption and poverty, raped by mafia bullying, stabbed in the heart by pederast priests.
Everyone gets away with it.
The State is an impotent old man incapable of exercising its powers. Incapable of using them for the good of the nation but capable of abusing them to give to those who already have.
Where are the great works? Where is the development? Where are the cultural movements? Where is the self-love?
I don't want to go on too long but this is a political film.
It should have twisted the knife in the wound and instead it does exactly what is described in the film: it makes you laugh (not too much) because "the people need to laugh when the crisis makes itself felt..."
And we laugh!!!!!!!! It's better to hide your head in the sand!!! No? Let's laugh...let's laugh...
I want my homeland back!
