The spot of Movimento5Stelle on the return to the lira that makes you laugh the whole … – Today

Ah, the old lira. Good times, when a book it only costs 5 thousand, for a cut at the barber 10 thousand and it was enough for a dinner he spent 12 thousand pounds. A daydream, which is at the center of the video released by Movimento5Stelle to sponsor the referendum organized by the Movement to leave the euro and return to the lira. A laudable aim intended, but misguided in the realization. Why instead upset consciences and push to arm themselves with pen to sign the referendum and abandon the single currency, the video of the M5S is making laugh the entire network (upper case, of course).

In the movie, accompanied by evocative music of Ludovico Einaudi (of which more later), you see a cute boy throwing a euro in the fountain in Piazza Farnese, expressing a desire to return to the lira. And part of the dream, including barbershop, library and romantic dinner, paid with generosity and pride ( the bill is presented on a slip of paper, no receipt ... but oh well, it's a dream, do not we break hairs ). The coin may not end up in the fountain, and the desire of the boy is destined not to come true, if it were not for the arrival of providential Paola Taverna , stuffed into a duvet, which takes the coin, returns it to the boy and promises - metallic voice, the Roman drawl, zero empathy and even subtitles explanatory type teleshopping - the dream instead become reality thanks to the efforts of Movimento5Stelle.

But here comes the shot of genius. The euro that the boy had thrown the Taverna and the returns are not turned into 1936.27 lire . No, the Tavern - as the last of shopkeepers dodger aftermath of the January 1, 1999, which magically changed the sign on the goods before that it was "all in 1000 lire" with the more appealing "all at 1 euro" - the trim a wretched bill 1000 pounds.

To complete the picture of what to say well can be called a spectacular own goal for the Movement of Beppe Grillo, is the icing on the cake: Ludovico Einaudi wrote a post on his official Facebook page to say that the use of his music in the video was never authorized, and " video that is circulating on the web these days has used the song illegally without consulting it 's 'artist he' rights holders. For this reason it has been required to remove the song from the movie ".
