Thanos Karagioras "Quo vado?" is an Italian comedy in which we watch a man who is born and raised in a small Italian city, with a guaranteed job in the public sector. After a new government takes control everything in public sector change because it wants to cut down on bureaucracy. As a result, the working conditions of his job will change and also his whole life.I liked this movie because it has an interesting plot but not something extraordinary that will leave you speechless. I believe that it's a good average movie to spend your time and have fun either watching it alone or with company. The only problem or disadvantage of this movie is too much in some scenes and becomes extreme in order to be even funnier but the result is exactly the opposite. It becomes boring and makes you feel that it tries too much for something in order to be funny. I believe that this is a result of the direction which was made by Gennaro Nunziante. In general, I liked the interpretations of Checco Zalone who played Checco and Eleonora Giovanardi who played Valeria.Finally, I have to say that "Quo vado?" is a funny comedy with some hilarious scenes but it did not reach its true potential. I believe that you aren't going to waste your time watching it. I recommend for everyone to see it because I am sure that you are going to have a great time watching it but don't have high expectations about the plot.
sugarfreepeppermint I don't mind self deprecating humour, and Checco Zaldone is actually quite funny, but overall this film leaves a nasty taste in my mouth.To me this film seems nothing less than an EU propaganda vehicle to celebrate the destruction of the native European people and their cultures and achievements, by showing them in a denigrating fashion. The "better" alternative offered, is the globalized society where citizens have little social security, no national or racial pride, and where they are even submissive to non white races and females. This film is subliminally sending out a message to Italians that it's better that they sacrifice their "privileges," and open their borders to the invaders from Africa, and that they should give them all their assets, so that Itlaians are finally "liberated" from their "shameful" traditional way of life. This film has as its aim, to stem the resentment that people feel for the deeply corrupt traitorous Italian government that is human trafficking dangerous numbers of boat migrants into their country. This film is insidious propaganda for genocide of the native Europeans and it goes in the guise of light hearted comedy. Quo Vado? Going where? To hell, that's where.
fissorevincent What can I say about this... let's say... "particular" movie? It isn't specifically hilarious, its jokes are mostly dated and overdone, and some might even sense that some "good ol' habits" (in this case, slight hints of racism) are having a hard time dying out. No. What is intriguing about this movie, above its irrational success in the former cinematographic powerhouse that was Italy, is its message... and the period in which it is being delivered. To reassure some of you, it is NOT a negative message. Far from it, it seems to encourage people to get out of the country and discover places, take risks and feel confident about your capacity to rebound in cases of failure. The only hitch is that "paradise" figures out to be... Norway. And that, in comparison, Italy has corruption and bureaucratic laziness that most Latin American or African tin-pot dictatorships would only dream of. On top of public sector workers only obsessed with keeping their undeserved jobs and perks. And this is where the positive qualities of the movie (undeniable levels of energy, that do not always compensate a certain sense of amateurishness; thoroughly likable characters, far from being developed) die. When a TV series like "Yes Minister" (which I would recommend for those who think this movie is too "popular") was subtle and pretty dark in its denunciation of administrative incompetence, leviathan-like civil services and government in general, this movie is both blatant and outspoken about its "targets". In the midst of a reformist drive led by Matteo Renzi back in Italy (with reforms in working contracts, public sector pay and the like), this movie resembles... no, clearly represents a highly coordinated, government-sponsored marketing job by Checco Zalone and his team. No amount of publicly-financed TV ads, speeches, exposes and/or documentaries could've done such a job. This has to be a premiere for such a nation. A study-case in what a nation will become under its current ruling class. And seeing its record-breaking intake, it seems that most people are liking it...
SynStratos The movie has been acclaimed for having underlined some sad aspects of the Italian economical and political world, using a comical facade. It is a sort of walk through different Italian regions, characterized by common stereotypes.I found this movie enough boring and repetitive, and lacking of real comical elements that could last in my mind and let me laugh again and again. The storyline is very flat and expected.Script and direction are poor, such as the performance of many actors. Maybe the only positive element are the songs, written by Zalone himself, that can sound funny and well-suiting the context.This could be a good movie to watch with your family to have some laughs. It is nothing more than this and I will never be tired of repeating his success in Italy is undeserved and justified only by an efficient promotional system.
