The movie made me cry, rare thing as I watch many drama like that. The fact that this, particular movie was inspired by a true story made me sick, RIP for Andrea Spezzacatene.

Plus, as an Italian I got really, really hurt by the movie, because the world will know how bad our teenagers can be. And that's not even the only time it happened..... In italy stuff like being gay (the guy wasn't, the friends created the rumors) or LGBTQ+ or even having a disability is seen as an opportunity to bully somebody. This is a movie made for an audience for 12 and older... So that they understand the dangers of bullying somebody, even for prank.

Italian cinema has deeply influenced world cinema through its socially conscious realism and modernist experimentation, but it also flourished in popular genres like peplum (sword & sandal), giallo thrillers, and broad comedies. Its narratives often weave together politics, contemporary social change, class consciousness, and family dynamics, balancing artistic ambition with entertainment that resonated widely.
