DVD Reviews of La Scorta
DVD Review: Special favors between businessmen and certain elected politicians
Summary: 3 Stars
LA SCORTA, a movie released in 1993, played by Italian
actors, is very much a European movie, that rolls all into
one many aspects of a small, ephemeral microcosm,
surrounding an investigation into corruption and awarding
of contracts based on special favors between businessmen
and certain elected politicians, with the judiciary and
law enforcement caught in the crossfire.
It's not an action movie, considering that many personal,
human sides of the officers are demonstrated, such as
moments with family, kids, birthdays, festivities, etc.
It's not a humorous movie, either, considering the serious
topic it covers, deadly serious even, such as shown by an
explosive planted in a car, or 2 motocycle men doubling as
executioners, the death of powerful politicians, etc.
What this movie does, is portray the enormous frustration,
confusion, and struggle that occurs when there are
millions of people, and large numbers of special
interests, powerful people of all walks of life, each pulling
in every direction, such that nobody is completely
satisfied at any time, in terms of meeting their
own objectives. This is a lesson learned early on by many,
obviously, in life, and it has a lot to do with the
paradox of each person wishing to walk along the righteous
path, do the right thing, yet having to blend in, and go
along with what everyone else is doing in society, and expects,
so everyone can "get along." Call it the need to look the other
way, sometimes, because otherwise, perhaps society would be
unworkable. Each is an individual. Each has his or her own
goals. Each goes about reaching them in different ways.
Each has to win, in some way or another, maybe partially only,
for the totality of the system to work.
At the end, the special prosecutor is fired, because he's
inflexible in his rigid interpretation of the elimination
of corruption, alienating everyone around him. And society
can deal with the presence of corruption, but can't deal
with someone whose mind is set on one thing, and nothing else.
