Oh, fuck off Dept.
Roberto Benigni is a loathsome worm, and the fact that his biggest film can be correctly called a "Holocaust comedy" is a prime example of same. Now, though, he's making a "comedy" about the current conflict in Iraq, which is nearly as bad. And it gets worse:
In a further interview on Italian Rai TV, Benigni criticised the West's role in the Iraq violence.
"Westerners are running the show, all of those doing these things have studied in the West, it is not the Easterners. We know how many dreams the East gives, and how grateful we are to the East and love all its beautiful things," he said.
I'm not exactly a huge fan of the US' recent foreign policy myself, but this is just a totally banal oversimplification of a difficult reality. Fuck off, Benigni.
