Il grande spirito

Really. I don't retell plot lines as that ruins the first-watch experience. I will say this, I think Rubini is brilliant. If you like Tarantino but want a little more story and relevance, this is the movie. There are little touches that make this movie great. Very early on, notice how suddenly we see a camera angle that changes the POV. It happens one more time before we see the second main character of the movie.

Why is that brilliant? Because it sets the entire film up. From here, Rubini begins the western. A western on the rooftops of an Italian city. A white man who uses those who live naturally. A natural who lives with nature...albeit on a rooftop.

It's all here: A chase, money, outlaws, an Indian, even a revolver. The greed of the white man and the oppression of those that live happily. The mixed up motivations of people of today and the example of how simply you could live.

From the very start you will be pulled in by the humor, clever direction and sympathetic characters.
