Comment:
Before the youth language Italian cinema was crapped by various Moccia Muccino and was a director in the eighties which, for better e nel male, nei suoi film cercava di riproporre determinati spaccati di vita. Sto parlando di Marco Risi, figlio di Dino e regista di alcuni “classici” come Mery Per Sempre e Vado a Vivere da Solo, ma anche di film difficili e insidiosi come Maradona – La Mano de Dios e Fortapàsc. Marco con Soldati – 365 All’alba è alle prese col raffigurare con dedizione e fermezza il mondo della naja obbligatoria.
Visto con gli occhi di ora può sembrare un film decisamente anacronistico ma che riserva ancora un suo perchè nella rappresentazione dettagliata e veritiera delle situazioni che un ragazzo chiamato alle armi doveva affrontare. Protagonista del film è un giovane romano interpretato da Claudio Amendola, surely its functional role, despite her will in the eye of the storm. Scanna Claudio (this is the character's name) will in fact deal with the merciless hazing of some congedanti led by an unlikely (but in a way, guessed) Alessandro Benvenuti and with the evil and injustice riservategli free from his lieutenant iron. With Lieutenant Wires (maximum Dapporto in great dusting) will be established as a rival because of honor and testosterone, a competition to see who breaks first based on a dualism rather learn where the soldier will soon confront.
This conflict is being carried out throughout the film in a excellent managing not boring and, sometimes, to reassess the role of villain in legitimate executioner justifiable.
comparison that leads to an end rather harsh, but convincing in his closing with the advent of dawn.
Despite the hardness of the issues there are moments of comedy features a cast of excellent character and very good. How can we forget Ugo Conti in the role of Sergeant Gallo (Forza! Force Come on!), Peter Ghislain in his interpretation of Madonna, Ernesto Lama in the role of the truest of all jokes and smiles and Neapolitan Angelo Cabiddu, improvisational actor, noted the same Risi lavorara while as a waiter in a restaurant in Rome and cast without any specimen.
The choice of grafts comic strength as it is assumed the producers were not confident in making a serious film about naja, counting, too, that in those years were often the news about suicides in their barracks because of hazing. Expedient for the controversy, then. The courage to
Risi was awarded as the film had some success and also inspired a television series that many will surely remember: Class of Iron.
A bittersweet film of a certain thickness, a portrait of a reality ignored by the younger generation today that despite the years and its old-fashioned theme still manages to captivate.
Del film as well as the movie version normally distributed on DVD There is also a television longer than that. The long version contains almost an hour more of footage, and was passed not long ago on the digital channels of Mediaset. Small
cult.
Memorable Scene: an initial Dapporto speeches to his platoon: "Because with me you will not only cleaned, sorted, graded, efficient. No sir!" This is not enough. You set yourself apart. You will be absolutely , wonderfully, amazingly, SOLID is pissed. "
