'Gomorrah': Expose Italy's scars

Italy's "black" has long been notorious, but how "black" and how "black" is it? Let's take a look at this original ecological "Gomorrah".

The film does not tell a complete story as usual, but suddenly inserts a point in time and begins. At the same time, there are 5 different roles being played, and I feel that there is no regular interspersed, which can be said to be a quite primitive state of life.

In such an area completely controlled by the mafia, the life system of the common people is established by the mafia. There is a family in the film that can be used as a model. The father and son joined the mafia and were punished, and the grandfather in the family received monthly payments from the mafia. living expenses to support other family members. Being shrouded in the mafia for a long time, the children here will aim to join the gang in life, and the younger brothers will face each other because of joining different gangs when they grow up. There is not much affection between people, only money transactions and life and death are separated.

Living in this area, it seems that life also belongs to the Mafia. Whether you are a civilian or a gang member, you may die anytime, anywhere, maybe for money, maybe for hatred, or maybe for fun. A sense of security is a very luxurious thing for ordinary people, and it needs to be exchanged for money.

The most impressive of the 5 clips are the 2 teenagers who tried to stand on their own feet. After stealing a few guns, they did bad things, and even robbed the gang's store. Just imagine in an area where adults can't stand on their own, what can two children get out of? Guns are not a rarity, almost every household has them, and there are more in the hands of the wicked.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the main source of income for the local mafia is to make huge profits from landfilling toxic waste, but burying these wastes underground will only damage the local environment, which is actually a road of self-destruction. Looking at the peaches that the farmers have worked so hard to plant, they were thrown directly by the roadside by insiders, and it can be seen that the land here has been seriously polluted.

It can be said that the shock brought by this film is quite large. In developed countries with a bright surface, there are such corners. People's survival is just lingering, and where is the way out...

    After reading the four stars given, it was changed to three stars after many years. Because I've forgotten about anything other than the floral shirts related to Al Pacino.
