Ostatnia Wieczerza Leonarda Da Vinci

Shadow


Director: Federico Zampaglione
Country: Italy
Year: 2009
Duration: 72 min. approx. Trailer

There is a phrase of Plato (as Santayana, but God knows I do not know who else is true ... and see how it is to the "famous quotes") that says The dead are the ones who see the end of the war ... a phrase extremely fatalistic and raw but very subtle shortly reflecting the consequences of war (whether something is open the manipulable Black Hawk Down *).

is what we have here, in fact, is what happened when I got the fraudulent end of Shadow, which, like the horrors of war ** wants to give us the message of desolation and collateral damage that comes with the warmongering in action. But of course, from a perspective very simple and full of cliches that the principle refers to the slasher terror and torture, then it becomes a compendium of, yes, more cliches and ridiculous resolutions in an attempt to build tension, suspense and psychological background, and culminates in a scheme that surprised but insulting (to me it seemed insulting).

Humm ... the acting is bad because the characters are incorrectly set (it had not helped but the way I mention that I would have liked a longer appearance of the beautiful Angeline ***) and music I personally did not like . But all this does not suggest that the next stop, no ... If you watch it, the footage is short, in the first half shows a beautiful mountain scenery, the insidious operation of the camera is dynamic and interesting and have another torture scene that works well, orchestrated by a psychopath lame toads, obsessed with the ravages of World War II.

I read the synopsis before watching it (which is more or less wrong) is:

"The Shadow tells the story of a soldier who after returning from the war in Iraq will make a trip across Europe giving vent to their madness and desire for blood. "

The truth is that it is good fake ... but anyway! While nothing comes close to freshen the Italian horror (and leaves much to duty) I think it's a good piece in the way of most first-time director Zampaglione ****.

If you have not seen I do not recommend reading the following: =============




American "guy?, Handsome, cool, good son , high moral and ethical values, ex-soldier who fought in Iraq that seems to have killed or a bug in his life, dedicated to mountain biking to clear your mind horrors of blood. In this journey crosses paths with a beautiful girl who shares a taste for such sport, a nice couple, and a cruel and arrogant duo of hunters. A twist of fate and both good and bad, just at the table one more wrong for going to want be dead from the pain inflicted upon them ... a dark and hateful past in a blink will be the alternate ending of Oliver Atom ... and do not know whether to laugh or just say "how things go ... ...."

"The last 20 words are a big spoiler, right? =============

As I leave then I'll put subject and as "notes" some things.

* An adaptation directed by Ridley Scott from the Battle of Mogadishu. It is a sort of pseudo-documentary handle that a little while the 11-S was released. If they like the war movies is ... um ... the kind that, good or bad to watch.

** is a Rubens painting allegorically representing the ravages of war, and Italy.

*** The pretty girl who starred heroically Frontière (s).

**** A guy who has a long history in music, vocal band of soft rock ...? Tiromancino. (I heard several songs on youtube and nothing I liked).
