I expected more, much much more

I actually expected a plot in the line of Robert Enrico's ZONE ROUGE, with a real suspense; or Kelly Reichardt's NIGHT MOVES with much suspense; or Steve Sonderbergh's ERIN BROKOVICH, or Mike Nichols' SILKWOOD, both with much suspense. But here, I agree that the subject is very interesting, because speaking of ecology, important problems for environment. But the result is a document, in the journalistic way. It denounces and that's it. It explores many aspects of it, as in a documentary, where a real journalist would go and ask questions to people in concern of this issue. The problem, here, is that, unlike the other films which I told about above, there is no suspense in a thriller way. I expected more but it's still a good movie.

The two main characters sing an Italian song, and it is "Su Fratelli." This iconic anthem holds deep significance within the anarchist movement. It carries a powerful message of unity, equality, and resistenze against social injustices. The lyrics call for solidarity among brothers and sisters, advocating for a society free from oppression and hierarchy. The melody of "Su Fratelli" is often accompanied by energetic rhythms and passionate vocals, emphasizing the fervor and determination of those who sing it. With its roots in Italian anarchist tradition, this song has transcended borders, resonating with individuals fighting for freedom and social change worldwide.
