Remain silent
Shortcomings
"If you cannot say anything nice about a person, don't say anything at all,” Andreotti’s mother said.
Last night I saw the movie “Il Divo” for the second time. I was as impressed as I was the first time. The woman accompanying me appeared to be less impressed.
Mr. Andreotti himself saw “Il Divo” as well according to Reuters:
‘"I would have happily lived without it," Andreotti said after seeing an advance screening in Italy.
"It highlights some of my shortcomings, but also others that I don't have."’
The movie portrays Andreotti as a man with a dry but beautiful sense of humor.
His statement after seeing “Il Divo” confirms this judgment.

Sometimes somebody says: to me: 'I dreamed of you last night.' Before he goes further I always ask: 'Was it a bad dream? If so, than I do'nt want to hear it. ' I think his mother is right. Wednesday I go with my nephew to Il Diva . I am curious.
You convinced me: I ordered the two Sorrentino movies.
I just came back. Went to the cinema. Il Divo, with my nephew. I did'nt like the picture. And by leaving the room I felt on my knees.
Where is the aspirine! Can I have some lemonade?

You didn't like "Il Divo"? How on earth is that possible?Arnon,
I think it was the fall that made me react like I did. All those people gazing and helping. I feel fine now. What was magnificent were the dialoges and the things grown up people wit power did: asking for lemonade, the sliding in the room. The persons, the ears of Andreottie, and his bodylanguage, (he looked like a thing from an other planet, and yet so human, yes his humour . And the scene wit his wife when they are together and sitting on the chairs. The music was great. But some things went to fast for me. I could not follow the history and that irritated me. All those names. Perhaps I must order it at look again.
