I was born in Zimnicea city 18 months after major earthquake

I've seen the movie yesterday evening.

About presented story, I will not even talk about it.

But about the movie as show and expectation I really needed to make some comments: Rarely I faced such disappointment after watching a movie but this is no doubt one of the worst I ever seen, definitely a top 10. It have nothing except some nice decent actors but anything else it's catastrophic. It does look as a bad joke, made in one night, probably less than 1h total shooting.

Nothing to mention as positive, nothing.

No story and a stupid conclusion.

What happens in communism

Happy to see that it is available in HBO max.

When my mother told me what happened I thought that she was joking but after the Romanian Revolution it was proven to be true.

This is what happens in communist societies where people aren't promoted in function of their competencies, where you are there because you have dirty things on everyone around you , where you need to fulfill a quota and play disaster olympics so you could get more attention from the higher ups no matter of the consequences or of that will entail.

This is a cautionary tale that need to be populised much more especially to Americans who think that communism is a good idea.

Trivia
The earthquake sound in the movie is the actual noise the 1977 earthquake made, as it was recorded during a live concert in the Radio Hall in Bucharest. Everybody ran away, but the recorders of the concert kept going, so this is the only sound recording of the great earthquake ever made.
