How To Emulate A Usb Memory

Gomorrah: the painting of a dying earth

A cross between a film and a documentary, of Gomorrah Matteo Garrone represents a journey through the maze of dark Camorra. Based on five episodes, different but similar in substance, the film offers a real picture of the dying in Campania where there is no room for lights and colors, hopes and ambitions, a painting made of absolute dullness and that releases strong a feeling of utter helplessness.

The characters portrayed living a reality that appears as a final conviction, a doomed since birth and that will lead to the inevitable. For none of them is no redemption, or the illusion that there can be, and also the only one of the protagonists who opposed his conscience in such squalor, not with the research or the hope of a better future or a different fate but only the awareness of not being able to change the system.

Unlike so many films on offer on the subject, Gomorrah seems, at times, completely giving up the action even to history and to focus more the message that goes through the whole movie: the Camorra not only in armed conflicts and its countless victims, not just in brutality and violence but also and especially in culture deeply rooted in the territory, in that culture which offers children and young people that as the only possible choice, the same culture that wants all slaves to a single system that considers all types of goods as a source of income and every individual, conscious or not, as a cog in the mechanism. In this context it is the interpretation of the highest level of all players, credibilissimi and always engaged in dialogues of raw realism that, to great effect, allow an almost constant empathic projection of the viewer.
