Giuseppe Moscati: L'amore che guarisce

Just after to watch this full length mini-series with almost four hour, l've been searching on Wikipedia about the fabulous Doctor to confirm all about him, although RAI made too many dramatization around the character, most of things really happened indeed, l'd already saw this kind of persons in many stories through the history like Mother Theresa, St. Francis, Bezerra de Menezes, Sister Dulce, anyway Doctor Moscati is one those God's men whose are seeded around world by a superior intelligence or something like that to support the homeless, poor and invisible kinds!!!

EWTN just ran this movie in two parts and I cannot praise it highly enough. The broad and scope of the story seems like something out of a Dickens' novel. Giuseppe Muscati was a real life doctor who dedicated his all to short life to helping the poor. His best friend takes the easier path to title and money and Muscati treats so many without money that he is forced to sell everything he owns to provide for those less fortunate. The film just took my breath away. The message of hope and faith or something I need badly now, as my devout mother passed away recently and I have been trying to return to the childhood Catholicism of my youth. At the age of sixty-two, it is not easy. This example of a man who lived a life of extraordinary goodness gives me hope of the possibility of salvation.

This is an outstanding production obviously made with a larger budget than usual, with a fantastic, realistic yet deeply moving script, fascinating period re- construction with top notch technical contributions, and, most of all a director who forgets he's actually working for TV, but imposes his skilled cinematic language with a tone and style that make even more poignant this TV series, truly shot like for a wide screen audience more than for the annoying small screen's cheap restrictions, both formally and visually, making great use of its own excellent dialog, and accurate script supervision that accomplish to deliver a perfect biopic that feels always very involving, as it is timely. Perfectly cast, with many well known faces, perhaps not too many stars, but, indeed an outstanding group of actors who have both 'faces' and acting style to match, and, are all so unarguably capable to give life to this emotionally complex story, all main cast accomplish to be extremely solid throughout, always watchable, believable, and quite unusually unforgettable for the standards of even a larger scale European TV product made with the intents above mentioned. I won't spoil now the human struggle, and timely story of a doctor, at the turn of the 20th Century, always fighting, and searching for the truth, dedicated completely to his incredibly endearing philanthropic endeavors, since in "San Giuseppe: Doctor to the Poor",

instead than telling obviously expected pitiful generic material, an excellent script and direction manage to end up always on a robust ground of unusual, civil, emotional, political, and other mainly unexplored themes, with a clever story telling utilizing at its best a great, but never excessive number of people, faces, lands, sets, subplots, but that most of all, always stays so greatly connected with its own impeccable, universal depiction of more dramatic, and controversial, key social commentary. One could only hope TV movies would all manage to be this profound, this stylish, and good, completely shot with a theatrical, and visible, effortless dedication to the quality of the story, the acting, the narration, while never compromising with false atmospheres, but always sounding and looking great, produced throughout as a wide, International co- production of such higher scale should always be. "Giuseppe Moscati" has never failed for a moment to entertain my family, while to interest me deeply, and then deeper, about a story that I don't believe had been ever told before, or was never told so engrossingly well so skillfully never less than compelling, to say the least!

I am born in the day of beatification of Giuseppe Moscati. And, against the difference of Christian confession, I saw doctor Moscati as more than admirable person. As a sort of friend , maybe not saint but wonderful example for the care for the others, for a clear and hard mission and profound dedication. This serie reflects his life in splendid manner. Touching, powerful, convincing, bitter , amusing, heroic are few words defining this film. The basic virtue - the beautiful reflection of the context of his life, from the streets of Naples to te situations of crisis. It is a honest hommage to a great man. And, surprising for me, Beppe Fiorello does a great job. Each scene is an inspired portrait of people, realistic, delicate, useful, profound inspired. So, little more than a life of Romano- Catholic saint. But portrait of the true form of happiness being part of the other.

Film "Fiuseppe Moscati" is a very wonderful film. This film shows how kind and friendly can a human be and in the same time it shows how bad, unkind and heartless can a human be. Film tells about a great man called Giuseppe Moscati. He is unusual professor and doctor. Moscati presents us that every person can do good thing even he is poor or sick. Role of Giuseppe is very kind and it founded in real facts. Cases develops right and beautifully and I watched it with big interest.
