Electioneering in Brescello

This is the middle episode of the Don Camillo / Peppone saga and probably my favorite along with DC Monsignore ma non troppo.

Peppone, hardened mayor in Brescello, the small village on the Po river, aspires to become senator. Neither before or after WWII, where he fought against the Germans and fascists, he never went seriously to school, so he needs (at least) a diploma. Believe it or not, don Camillo helps Peppone to pass the examination (with the forecast of moving to Rome) prompting him the solution of geometry's problem. As implicit reward, Peppone writes a composition about "A man I'll never forget": obviously don Camillo, when Peppone was a resistant in WWII, and don Camillo the young military chaplain. Getting the diploma was the first step. The election campaign just started and the two big parties - Christian-democratic and Communist, forgetful of respective favors, settle down an electoral "war of the words", mean tricks (culminating with the famous horny Peppone/Lucifer) and easy propaganda.

Two things still shock today. 1) Giovannino Guareschi (the writer/author of don Camillo's saga) wasn't anti-communist at all, but he never hid the real nature, sanguine, gross, mentally brainwashed of communists (the same stating how lush and rich was the Stalin's Russia). He was a partisan, stop. He fought the fascists and the Nazis, but he never "fell in love" with Stalin or Krushev. Guareschi understood primarily what needed to Italy to rise from the ashes of war. 2) Communists in Italy (today) still resemble the 40s and 50s era, and fight their propaganda still means to be a bigot or an obscurantist. Guareschi tales, therefore, seem written today in many aspects. Not for the rural and tried Italy, but its never-ending inability to find a political barycenter.

Elections in Brescello.

This film is most dedicated to the elections in Brescello where we shall see the rivalry between Don Camillo and Peppone.There are two important moments in this film: Peppone needs to pass an examination and Don Camillo will help him.And second moment: Peppone write a surprising composition about the theme "A man I'll never forget" and so he describes his meeting with Don Camillo during the world war two.The other scenes of this film are less important (usual moves for attacking a political adversary).

Don Camillo rules!

Again, Don Camillo and Peppone the mayor go at it. Catholism vs communism in one funny way! The daily of a small Italian village after WWII. Not as good as the first two of the series, but still funny to watch.

Out of 100, I give it 74. That's good for **½ out of ****.

Seen at home, in Toronto, on September 15th, 2002.

Wissenswertes
The song played by Don Camillo during Peppone's public speech is "La Leggenda del Piave", an Italian patriotic song composed during World War One; Don Camillo correctly assumes the simple-minded and emotional Peppone will be swayed by it even if it goes against his communist ideals. Ironically, this ends up boosting Peppone's popularity.

Patzer
When the mayor is answering questions to show his intelligence, some subtitles get the formulae for the surface area and volume of a sphere, wrong. In fact the character gets them right.

Zitate
[Don Camillo sees Peppone off at the train station]
Don Camillo: I never forgot that you came to salute me when I was going into exile. Now you're leaving.
Giuseppe 'Peppone' Bottazzi: I'm not going into exile. I'm going because I won, not because I lost.
Don Camillo: You lost your wife who voted against you. You lost your town where you were somebody. You won what? The honour of being another face in the crowd, a ball in the urn.
Giuseppe 'Peppone' Bottazzi: I will always be what I am.
Don Camillo: Oh yeah? Well then, when you sit down in that huge sad hall, as if you were in school, then you'll think about everything you left behind. You'll think of what you used to see out your window in the morning while you were shaving; you'll think of your workshop and how you enjoyed tinkering your Sundays away... You'll even think of me, how I'm not there to give you a wallop when you deserve it - which is roughly once a day!
Giuseppe 'Peppone' Bottazzi: When I come back I'll crush you to a pulp!
Don Camillo: But you know you're not coming back! And I can't even say "Goodbye, Peppone"... only "Adieu, Senator".
