Siani: "poetry is not of those who write, and those who serve" ... but do not overdo it:) Respect 
Alessandro Siani is a decent stand-up comedian. Sa find, tell the tics and foibles of some Neapolitan and knows us laugh about. For the moment what he had to say it stops here, but to work successfully outside of Naples and Campania believe that this is not enough, it can not dramatically out of these boundaries (except for some evening in Milan for "migrants"). It has not been able to dip his humor effectively in the social, the News, also to give a certain thickness to what it says (for example, which has always done Simone Schettino, although less famous but you know, is not always the quality of what you do that attracts more). Maybe he's starting to understand it, and you can see from the message of Napoli who has recently launched from the stage of Zelig. We'll see, and hope to make a change in his career that allows him to grow as an artist.
cinematically speaking Siani has starred in two films starring, participating in first person in the subject and the screenplay. The collections have proved modest. Great success has instead had "Welcome to the South," where the protagonist is Claudio Bisio, with him in a leading role. In the latter films seem to have finally is beginning to carve out a character all its own, yes, because we took in the two previous films, from the first view, a bit too many similarities with Massimo Troisi in the movie scenes, situations, characters, attitudes, facial expressions and even in music. We sat at a table, we compared these scenes and was born of video editing that you can see in line at post. Lacks the analysis of two films like "Christmas Cruise" and "Christmas in New York," which, frankly, we were unable to own self-inflicted.
Mind you, the gifts and tributes to the greats of the past are so many in history film, but there seems to be a very different thing than what we saw in these films. Benigni and Massimo also have allowed themselves to remember the letter in its entirety in the scene "We just have to cry," and the same Robert pays tribute to his friend Max in "Life is Beautiful" with the tour of the palace to meet the woman he loves (already seen in "Groundhog Day Three"). But it was an isolated case and recognized for what it was ...
Of course the similarities that we have escaped will be caught by many, especially to young people that today have no way to find Max and his work, and this montage is a way of "humble but honest" to reassert the authorship of some found and some characters, even talking about facial expressions.
Probably the same Siani felt this way it will go away (always cinematically speaking), it takes something truly and his alone. Search for the success of a film on the heels of other work, and another character, perhaps using the same cast and crew, producer, Pino Daniele the same for the music, not enough. It takes the ideas and talent, in a poetic sense of artistic ideas and personal expression. Mauro Berardi, producer of Maximus, he bet on the first film to be asserted: "After Troisi I can finally make another good movie with a Neapolitan." There has certainly won, maybe he the ideas a little confusing. So beware before lightly labeled "the new Troisi.
For the rest we can only wish for a successful career of Alessandro Siani and hopefully we can give even a tenth of the excitement and laughter to our intelligent Massimo has given us and continues to give us even today.
