Sin in the sun

There is a category of movies without beautiful and handsome faces, no heartbreaking love, no picturesque background, and even in the first half an hour, if you don’t watch the introduction, you don’t know what the director is going to say slowly. , But you were attracted and watched until the end, with still unfinished thoughts, and lingering around the beam for three days.

It seems that Italians are particularly good at this, and "Gamola" is even more of the best in this category. In the first half an hour, there are so many characters that make you dizzy, and apart from the shooting at the beginning of the film, it is all trivial. A nagging mother and her delivery son in a commissary; two ugly boys who snatched a small packet of drugs from a Jamaican drug dealer; an old man who paid money; a tailor, and a man who followed others away from home to work hard young people. There are also many underworld people who gather around card players and claim money and complain about the lack of money.

But slowly, a few people began to emerge from a lot of faces. The boy in the commissary changed from a desire to make money and an accidental opportunity into an out-and-out drug dealer; the two ugly brothers played more and more for excitement and temptation until they stole the guns and ammunition of the gang; the old man who gave money Caught in the increasingly hostile gang and had to start wearing body armor to go out; the tailor lay in the trunk of the car and secretly went to give lectures to the Chinese factory, and was paid 2,000 euros per night; the young man found out that the boss let the child drive the load. Trucks illegally landfill several tons of garbage, so they don’t eat locally grown fruits.

You start to be curious and worried about the fate of these people.

The darkness is completely exposed to the sun, all sins are as common as everyday meals, and human life is no different from that of ants. The lens is not bloody. Stimulus, but sin slowly sucks you in like a black hole, unable to struggle or breathe.

A more interesting scene is that under the cover of night, the Chinese slowly approached the tailor and provided him with a high-paying opportunity to teach in the factory. The Chinese face was always blurred, and every expression of the tailor was recorded. This technique is also applied in other scenes.

I remember that when I wrote "Blood Diamond", I said that the most terrible thing is that there is no hope. Children are the hope of society. The only gleam of light in "Gamola" is on the young man who left the "career" of illegal landfilling of garbage, but it is a pity that he is an outsider.

Is Italy really that scary? If just as a tourist, these should be irrelevant. I have been to several tourist cities in Sicily, and I have stayed in Naples for three nights. I didn't find anything particularly scary. It was the enthusiasm of the southerners that left a deep impression on me.

A gangster character in the movie was played by a gangster who was not caught by the police. The reason was that the crew recruited extras. He liked the movie very much, so he went and was selected. How did you know that the film was nominated in Cannes and played nationwide. The accomplice in the prison saw him and was arrested. What a black humor, think about it, this kind of thing is very Italian!
