This picture is more relevant than ever for our latitudes, for Russia, Ukraine, and the entire CIS. It was funny and sad to watch the movie. I have always been unwavering on the side of the mayor. I consider myself a good citizen and dream of the day when we will have such an unexpected turn. But the film warns us in advance that it won’t be the way I’d like it to be, and it’s true. Therefore, on the one hand I was very funny, and on the other hand, realizing the meaninglessness of such dreams, I became sad.
The Italians are not my favorite nation and I have never been interested in Italy. This is probably the first Italian film I have seen. And I mean, it's not even bad. The sense of humor is high. The mentality of the Italians was presented crystal clear and understandable. The cast is just a tower. Even in such a small and yes, corrupt country, actors play first-class, not like ours.
Of the actors, I was very impressed by Salvo Fiarra. His character, and himself, is a tower. Charismatic character, great actor. All the humor was on him. Sometimes, so that he was annoying, and sometimes, so that there was a feeling of tenderness to his character. Ambiguous, funny person who seems to reflect the whole essence of our society. Such an arrogant, self-centered person who cannot decide on whose side he is on, but even in such a situation, always knowing what he wants. But he wants free life, free life, so that the laws are observed by others, and he is not touched. Is that what happens? There is no such thing as a movie.
The ending of the film was happy, it was moral, it sweetened the pill. And everyone will make a choice for himself - whether to applaud the ambitious or drive him in the neck. I choose the former, I'll be a bore. What choice did you make after watching this comedy?
