consider the article by Curzio Maltese (below) a sensible and logical continuation of my previous post. And I confirmed that indeed something new is happening ...
Away from theater to television
Curzio Maltese
"Come away with me" was the most beautiful Italian songs and is now the title of a program full of defects, as noted by the critical degree. But who cares. It is a historic event, it signals the death of Berlusconi television.
The prodrome, the archetype, ideology, the foundation the last two decades in politics. A program that beats the Big Brother not only with a resounding Benigni, that would be understandable, but with Don Gallo and stories of the Roma or 'Ndrangheta Milan hinterland, not a cultural phenomenon, but the indicator of a change of Italian society.
The theater of television is the background for the theater of politics, a favorite target of Berlusconi. For better or for worse, in the political theater of the important things are happening and new, as the final crisis of Berlusconi. In the theater, but television is completely immobile for twenty years, at least in appearance. The Berlusconi-rule, since the quiz Tg1, the last program for home in the morning or afternoon. All the talk shows, even the alternative and "against", are monopolized by a company formed around a maximum of twenty people who camp in the joint studies Rai-Mediaset and transmigrate from one channel to another, from a Vespa Santoro Ballarò forming a single jam. From the point of view of style, not content to charity, this just makes Annozero bolsa Porta a Porta. The worker on strike in a national uprising, the unemployed are only the scenery outside Naples, the extras boundary interminable, incomprehensible and ultimately useless chicken coop studio.
The first merit of "Come away with me" is to break this representation. There is no theater. You can see and really listen to the characters and themes expelled from television for years. Ligabue and Roma, Benigni and the secular state, Don Gallo and street prostitution, Paolo Rossi and immigration. Not surprisingly, the less effective the other night was the dreaded Fini and Bersani. The usual war time censorship of Berlusconi is particularly grotesque and ineffective because it is clear to everyone, including the center-right voters who "Come away with me," unlike other programs "prohibited" does not lead to political battles, but social. And it is another reason why an oasis from political theater and television.
I could not even say if television is new or very old, maybe pre or post Berlusconi Berlusconi, with flavors of Rai once, Barbato and Biagi, TvSette and "It's never too late." It is flawed, they said. Slow, at times pedantic, obsessed by lists, too politically correct. Roberto Saviano said the 'Ndrangheta in Lombardy as the teacher explained the grammar Manzi, in an almost naive, that may amuse the journalists covering these issues for decades. But as Saviano brings this knowledge from specialists to nine million Italians, as Gomorrah with tens of millions of readers, make us laugh. The only thing you can do with Saviano is to thank him, love him and protect him from the ferocity with the popularity of his enemies. Those with the Kalashnikov and the other in double-breasted.
Roberto Maroni is a good minister of the interior, heavily involved in the fight against the mafia. But when love for the flag denies the historical fact of the development of the 'Ndrangheta also in Lombardy and Northern League just refuses even to discuss, do not say investigate, acts as a two-bit politician.
The success of "Come away with me" is still beyond these controversies and attempts at censorship. It is the epiphany of a change in mood of the country. With a TV public service from the seventies, the various arts program of Fazio and Saviano has intercepted a paradoxical need for new codes and languages, and has brought back to the audience Rai a young and educated who had long since abandoned in disgust public networks to escape anywhere from Mentone to Sky. It was a small, unpredictable television revolution. After so many years, of course. But it's never too late.
