Film bitter about the world of precarious and everything that goes around ...
Graduated with honors cum laude and with so much to embrace the academic in the faculty of philosophy, Martha, starts immediately looking for a job as a researcher. The answers that come are all negative, no one is willing to hire her. Returning from a visit to her dying mother, Marta, convinced, decides to apply to the school board to begin a career in teaching. Even here, however, you will find the way barred. It will end shortly after the hellish reality of the call center, where between young telephone operators more like robots than people, ballets and absurd motivational awards typical of villages, discover the false behavior, blackmail, psychological violence against a multitude of boys and girls, graduates or not, but all having one thing in common: the fear and the risk of losing their "work" at any moment ... 
Virzì addresses the issue of insecurity and shows it with absolute ferocity not giving up but at times funny and touching. The reality that faces the star, the call center, is one of the clearest examples of this condition. Children forced to take in the next round to earn a pitiful wage, blackmailed by his superiors and forced to go against all his moral principles despicably trying to get people to receive the homes above elderly. Children dismissed for not having achieved a certain number of appointments and thrown back into the street, where they were, and with nothing in hand. Girls forced to sell their bodies for the inability and impossibility of finding another job. Children desperate for a situation where, even those who should protect them in the end does nothing really concrete. Boys paradoxically, as the title, with a whole life ahead, but actually stuck at 24. Marta Through the eyes of all this is revealed clearly, and feel that you can not be that bitter and sad for all those kids so innocently teased and what remains is a feeling in the viewer anxiety and depression.
The casting is excellent. Martha is played by the emerging and talented Isabella Ragonese. Other emerging and Micaela Ramazzoti (for those who like a bit of gossip, recently married with director Virzi) in the role of Sonia, the young mother's roommate Marta, and a little ingnorante superficilae perhaps, but with goodwill and tied up his daughter Lara. 
important confirmation comes from Elio Germano, surely one of the best young players in the Italian. It 'very good in' interpret his character, the seller door to door "Lucio 2" (yes, because in world of call centers, there is the possibility of maybe nick) passing from a state of mind to feel completely determined by the success contrary to arrive in the final behavior euphemistically be described as neutral. Sabrina Ferilli also good in the role of Daniel, foreman, team leader. Even his character around a specific address location. Ladies and ambitious career woman desperate among other things, 
in a final daring and moving, will eventually make a gesture, for the note of despair. Valerio Mastroandrea plays the most ambiguous of the story, the union leader Giorgio Conforti. Marta will blow up, but he, like many others, will end with disappoint. Who comes out I think it is resized Massimo Ghini in the role of the owner of the company. Certainly influenced the decision not to investigate his character, relegated to the margins of history.
should also mention the presence of Laura Morante, or rather his voice. And 'in fact means that this story takes its course.
film denouncing the plight of temporary work in Italy. Faced with sarcasm right, without oversimplifying, and never boring.
Film hard, especially for those who have experienced similar situations on their skin, sometimes certainly excessive, exaggerated in some parts, but tragically realistic.
Attractions especially for the insights that can give.

the joke: "Everyone deserves a chance"
curiosity: the series in its entirety the film has so far collected 550 million and 24 million in home video.
"Dead an enigma if it makes another ..."
already announced another ongoing and proposed a seventh and eighth episode, returns the most-watched horror saga of recent years.
The film starts, as always, by the end of the previous year. Refresh ourselves a little memory. Dead aka John Kramer Saw in the third episode, a few months ago, in the fourth chapter in the saga, we became aware of his heir, Detective Mark Hoffman. This is the only survivor last trap left by the original puzzle and which saw the death chain of a large number of casualties. 
we can save even the daughter of a lieutenant killed previously, will be passed as the hero of the moment and as someone who has finally closed the Saw - the riddle. Unfortunately for him, the night was saved, was not the only one to survive. With him, the detective Strahm. Given a series of suspicious events, it will begin to suspect my colleague and possible complicity between the deceased and this puzzle ....
Kackl Directed by David, the first writer and then assistant in the second in previous episodes, the film is certainly more watchable than the third quarter and directed by Darren Lynn Bousman.
In this episode, the director tries, and largely succeeds, to set the story in a more linear than its predecessor.
for much of the film using the technique of flashback assembly is certainly enlightening. Saw, despite being dead for two episodes now, continue to "live" right through this ploy. 
Most of the doubts and questions found at the end of the fourth episode are answered and the whole, however, continue to be as twisted, certainly takes a form more legible in the eyes of the viewer.
Many things are finally explained, others not, but fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your taste, there will be time.
There are of course the torture that have contributed to the success of the series. They number well over six of the 95 '.
The last in particular, its simplicity is one of the best. One of the other more violent and gruesome, but all have in common. All give a chance for salvation.
What's left of the end product is definitely higher than the previous, more rhythmic and qualitatively best about the plan's director.
The revelation of the 2004 film by James Wan, is now considered by many ingenious and far saga, now in so far with the episodes, it has lost much of its potential. Even the famous shot of the final scene that stunned everyone is becoming more predictable.
Nevertheless, this episode, as it has been set and directed, may be regarded almost as a sort of restart to a saga that, with the third quarter and in particular with the episode, was objectively deteriorating. We'll see if this positive attitude will be confirmed in Saw VI.
really love - Richard Curtis (2003) *** 1 / 2 
Genre: comedy / drama / romantic
Director: Richard Curtis
year: 2003
duration: 135 '
original title: Love Actually
cast: Bill Nihgy, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Martin Freeman, Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Laura Linney, Alan Rickman, Rodrigo Santoro.
the joke: "" Let's disgraced for love! "
" It is generally accepted that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I disagree. To me love is everywhere. Often it is not particularly noble or worthy of note, but still there: fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, friends. When the Twin Towers were hit, as far as I know no one who was dying he called to talk about hatred or revenge, they were all messages of love. I have the strange feeling that if you search you'll find that love actually is everywhere. "So begins
Love Actually, pre-Christmas film of 2003.
main theme of the film is obviously love. As said by ' opening words of the film's love is everywhere and affects everyone, from adults, the elderly, to children because love has no age. Richard Curtis immerses us in 10 different stories, all apparently ends in themselves, but in fact all connected.
There the clerk Sara madly in love with his colleague who, for too much timidity and a family life of the easiest, is unable to express her feelings for him.
There is Jamie, a writer of average talent who, after finding his wife in bed with a friend, loses the vein of inspiration. Will find it only encounter with a Portuguese girl. 
Then there is Harry, faithfully married his many years Karen, who is haunted by ammicamenti and proposed its attractive secretary Mia.
is Karen's brother David, recently Prime Minister who will face his feelings for his new secretary, Natalie.
And yet the story of a father and a son. Daniel and Sam. The first upset by the loss of his wife, the second in love with a classmate.
Then there is the nice young Colin, believed to be beautiful and not to find a girl just because he lives in England. In America, he said, would be much appreciated. He decides to leave. Those who 
the woman of his life he has already found is Mark, Julia always love lost, but which has just been married to his best friend.
Still, Jack and Judy, famous red light on a set, you're going to attend.
And last but not least is the character with which the film starts. Billy Mack. Musician ex-junkie gone several years ago that, through a cover of a great success, try to return to the limelight.
All stories probably already seen over and over again and usually covered with a thick layer of icing. Love Actually is not the case where a script and apt dialogues really brilliant and more and more humorous, they bring the film to the next level.
To remind us that Love Actually is one of the many films of this genre, but something better, there is the cast.
addition to those already mentioned initially, are to mention the cameo by Billy Bob Thornton in the role of a not too sympathetic president of the United States and especially Rowan Atkinson, the famous Mr Bean. Playing as a clerk in a jewelry shop, offers the public ten minutes of absolute comedy to watch again and again.
the background, a rich soundtrack. It ranges from the cover of Wet Wet "Love Is All Around" for the occasion "Christmas Is All Around" played by a too-cute Billy Nighy, with artists like Dido, Norah Jones, Otis Redding, Joni Mitchell, Craig Armstrong.
Love Actually is not the usual saccharine comedy. It 's a movie that looks for something more than mere entertainment function.
A movie that makes us dream, a magical film, set in the magical Christmas season. Lightweight, light-hearted, romantic.
Two hours pass pleasantly.
A story that is worth living.
