Movie in Venice Man of Year

Movie

I went to see Luomo di Anni – Man of Year last night starring Robin Williams expecting to hear English. First the theatre does not sell any food – just machines with soda and I think candy – no popcorn! Got in and the movie is dubbed and there is Christopher Walken speaking Italian and then comes Robin himself. At first I thought to ask for refund cause not what I expected. As it continued I did understand a few words here and there and you know Robin Williams is brilliant and he doesn’t have to say anything to convey himself. His manager Walken gets sick and they rush him to hospital and I understood Emphysema. The story is that Tom Dobbs a comedian is elected president and a subplot with Laura Linney who I think works for company in Silicon Valley that managed the voting machines. It gets scary when her company is out to get her cause she knows the machines were rigged. I think what happened that he won was mistake. All the candidate names have double letters. Anyway it’s a very good film and I think he should have got oscar nomination. When I come home Im studying the language.
Now Saturday morning. Im going out to market, post office. My FedX box arrived in my home. So I want also to use phone (that’s a challenge) to thank Grace the manager of my building for handling all my boxes.
