VERY MISLEADING TITLE!!!

posted 7 years ago by chrissso

The English title of this film is Benito: The Rise and Fall of Mussolini.

THIS IS A VERY MISLEADING TITLE!!!

This film covers Benito Mussolini's life from the time he left home as a young man of 19 years (1902) to his entry into WW1 (1915). Basically it covers his pivot from left wing (socialist) politics to the right ... pre Fascism.

Thus said Mussolini did a lot more rising during and after WW1 ... which is never discussed in this film!!! More so there is no discussion of the fall of Mussolini in this film???

So this begs the question ... why would you want spend 6 hours watching a film that covers the least interesting/least consequential period of Duce's life???

GONG!!!
