What is original in this film is that a gendarme named Saleh gets fully into the adverse realities of the Egyptian world prior to the fall of president Hosni Mubarak, and discovers the entire entanglement of corruption existing at the levels of the repressive and the governing dome. Saleh addresses the issue of corruption in a believable way, where he is just as corrupt as everyone else around him. Everything was paid and everything was bought, whoever did not enter the game was in serious danger of death. The film shows the beginning of the popular protests, which demanded the resignation of the entire Egyptian government and improvements in general for the population. The violence was evident, on the one hand, the repressive forces with all their anti-riot weapons and the population with the force of their cries demanding freedom and well-being.
French comedy, funny at times, which delves into the conventional precepts as lessons for young girls aspiring to marry and be good wives. Teaching center was located in Alsace, territory recovered by France from Germany. The study material and classes were very typical of a feudal regime; nothing to do with the moments lived between 1967 and 1968, date in which the film is fitted. This conservative instruction still prevails in the minds of many people of older generations and even of those who miss absolute monarchies. Within all that doctrine, if it can be called that, it is taboo to talk about divorce, abortion, women's liberation, much less homosexuality. Girls didn't even know what was a masturbation. What matters is that those women learn well to understand her husband, his needs and his concerns. The merit of the movie was to show how harmful were those conservative postulates, and how the world evolves and brought about new attitudes. The film elapses during 1967 and 1968 when youth protests occurred in France and Italy, which they did not achieve their objective of seizing power, but had an enormous influence on the behavior of the new generations from that moment and henceforth, with more liberalism and less prejudice.
This film has no fiction, but a lot about the reality of gender violence. A teenager disappeared in Bergamo, a city in northern Italy, capital of the homonymous province and part of the Lombardy region. In fact, she was kidnapped by the end of 2010, weeks later she was found dead in an open field on the outskirts of Bergamo. That shook Italy, so the police took the task of investigating the incident with very little chance of discovering the culprit, unless the necessary resources were put in place for this purpose and develop a thorough investigation. This was what the prosecutor Letizia Ruggeri set out to investigate for years and with traditional methods. Fortunately, we live in a world where there is scientific development in the field of molecular biology; it is known what a gene is, a short segment of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and an important part of the chromosomes. They tell us as a whole the hereditary material of the human body and the way it works. Therefore, there was no need for the services of Sherlock Holmes or detective Philip Marlowe. The film clearly shows the political baseness and the entanglements of an opposition to harm those responsible for the investigation, and as usual, without proposing any other alternative to get the truth of the case.
