Ce monde ne m'aura pas

This gem represents deeply what's the reality in the suburbs of Rome. What lies in the lives of a generation of people born in the 80', their values, what is worth fighting for, and all the uncertainties and existential questions that life puts in front of you every single day.

His language ( by that i mean the appearance of the characters and the way they speak) represents 100% how people from Rome express themselves, their being so sincere and so warm but at the same so sadly realist and hard-hearted, being used to the injustice of a society so difficult to live in. I felt so close to the main character, and the questions he tries to answer to, his attempt to understand what is right and what is wrong, and i believe that everyone should asks himself the same kind of questions.

Overall, I loved this series, it was very emotional and over all fun and compelling.

Signore Calcare does it again.

It's really just season 2 of his own mind but like "Stroppare" there is an overarching narrative though here it is more front and center with fewer asides (but there are a few asides).

The first season was a hard act to follow but this story of how the people who brush in and out of our lives and how we end up feeling guilt for all we never did for them is touching in a candid way that goes just about far enough without over-complicating itself.

Zerocalcare, not unlike Art Spiegelman, has perfected the art of putting himself at the center of his art. He hasn't based his main character on himself but it truly is himself and while I am totally willing to believe at the very least some license was taken for the sake of good story telling, it is easy to accept this as a true story for its candour and brutalism.

As he weaves a rich tapestry in visual metaphor and a plethora of cultural illusions both classical and popular (mostly popular), the unromantic sting of real life glooms through rather hauntingly.

Zero's friends are more central this time around and their relationship is fleshed out which was cool. The soundtrack is creatively picked out and it captures a lush zeitgeist of both the Urban Rome that the tourists don't notice and the retro '90s.

It is a self-portrait created from the collisions with other people but the final note is that he knows very well that there's a world out there that's not all about him.

If you haven't seen the original Italian, please enjoy Zero just doing his thing.

The first serie was very cool and it set high expectations but ZeroCalcare has been able to exceed them. There is definitely a political aspect however, beyond that, there is much more. The stories of Zero and his friends are an excellent picture of the society and its contradictions which generate hate and social tensions. It is not an easy topic but he never slips into the essay, the stereotypes, the boredom, etc. This is remarkable. On top you have a lot of funny moments which burst laugh few seconds before an emotional moment. All together supported by an amazing soundtrack composed by original tunes, classic rock/pop songs and hidden gems.

"This World Can't Tear Me Down" is a brilliantly crafted series that seamlessly blends humor, existential crisis, and poignant moments that tug at your heartstrings. With a delightful balance of wit and introspection, it takes viewers on an emotional rollercoaster that leaves a lasting impact. An adult cartoon that not only entertains but also imparts valuable ethical lessons to its audience in a captivating and engaging manner.

Despite its comedic facade, the show also has its somber moments that hit you unexpectedly. The narrative skillfully transitions from light-hearted humor to moments of sadness and introspection, leaving you emotionally invested at all times, an emotional rollercoaster of a show that reaches levels of existential crisis and various life issues and hardships like no other.

His last series was equally intriguing, and left a wholeheartedly good impression of the artist and what he stands for.

It is no wonder why Italy takes great pride in the upbringing of this artist. A briliant, briliant storyteller and person. Would highly recommend regardless of age. Do not brush this gem off.

Can not tell you how good it is.... His previous netflix series was also perfect, at made it again. The characters are so reals you can feel it through the screen. All the visiual and the audio experience is beautiful. Yes its animation, but it tells story so much better than any movie or series nowdays.

Zerocalcare has something that you can not learn, it came from him, so naturally, you just sitt and watch, and most of the moments like it already happened with me before... I guess my english is far not good enough to let everyone know, that you must see this piecee of art, so much better than those usual streaming products, it hs got soul!!
