8/10
The tenderness of how simple
17 March 2010
Most of the public did not like the "Pinocchio" by Roberto Benigni is perfectly understandable: the new paradigm are the special effects film. The bulk of people love the movies where a machine, a car, a robot... are the protagonists. They left in second to put the feelings in the first instance to objects. It is the reason why the majority is willing to give, instead of becoming loving, being.

But there are still some weirdos that we are recognizing the value of the simple, natural, the spiritual. And these are the ones we loved a movie like "Pinocchio," a film where tenderness is the protagonist and where actors sweeten your soul to deliver true feelings, and a message of overcoming the millions of children who roam the world without encouragement or recognition.

Roberto Benigni, the great master of "Life is beautiful", wanted to be faithful to the original story that his compatriot, Carlo Collodi, published in installments in an Italian newspaper between 1882 and 1883, and as he makes his open denunciation of vice and laziness, while extolling faith, patience and understanding with a beautiful fairy (surrogate) strives to save the boy from perdition.

Benigni's Pinocchio is representing charming, mischievous, funny and he welcomes without objection that the original was a child. This is a big boy, and beside the point, because many of those who are still missing. Whoever can do without the extravagances for effect, enjoy the best with this tender film.

Benigni knows hearts. That no one can deny.
