Salvation in Government alone
5 July 2017
Back in late 1980's this movie was a hit in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe and other stupid countries where the population worship their government as god and for whom there's only protection in the government. It is also a popular movie in countries where only the government and criminals own guns, and the law-abiding citizens are not allowed to have guns, so they are fascinated with this whole intrigue and guns and shootings. The hero Corrado is is a Robin Hood type of government employee who things he should go and fix the world, and therefore since he's constantly under so much pressures, he ends up fornicating with every attractive or half-attractive female he meets, to kind of let off steam, to ease the pressure of his god-like job. It's good for those who like intrigue, titillation, but watching these series is basically a mental masturbation exercise. These series are popular in totalitarian states where individuals have no freedoms. It's not by chance that this series is popular in countries where people aren't allowed to own guns, only the government and criminals do, and where the government and a small group of people are the only two institutions that can do Mafia. The Soviet Union amazingly and understandably allowed this western movie series to play on their government sanctioned televisions so that people would be taught that there are scary people out there, and only the government can save them, therefore the government should always be in total control or else. What a perfect propaganda piece, the communists couldn't come up with this themselves. No wonder this series wasn't so successful in the free USA. Americans aren't as stupid and are not as enslaved as people in communist countries. Very disgusting movie.
