on my skin

is a movie that left me with more questions than answers.

For example, are the police in Rome so cruel?

why did the two off duty cops beat up Cucchi? And why don’t their two colleagues report the matter? Is this the way it works within that police department?

The magistrate at the hearing and the prosecutor. Why they blind?

And Cucchi’s family. What the hell was wrong with them? How did they not look for a lawyer the moment the magistrate sent their son to jail?

Cucchi was real act though. Even when death is fast approaching he remains deviant.

On Christianity

When we hear the ancient bells growling on a Sunday morning we ask ourselves: is it really possible! this for a Jew, crucified 2000 y.a, who said he was God’s son. The proof of such a claim is lacking. Certainly the Christian religion is an antiquity projected into our times from remote prehistory; and the fact that the claim is believed- whereas one is otherwise so strict in examining pretensions- is perhaps the most ancient piece of this heritage. A god who begets children with a mortal woman; a sage who bids men work no more, have no more courts, but look for the signs of the impending end of the world; a justice that accepts the innocent as a vicarious sacrifice; someone who orders his disciples to drink his blood; prayers for miraculous interventions; sins perpetrated against a god, atoned for by a god; fear of a beyond to which death is the portal; the form of the cross as a symbol in a time that no longer knows the ignominy of the cross- how ghoulishly all this touches us, as from the tomb of the primeval past! Can one believe that such things are still believed?
