Watched it last night. Simply floored me. It started out so innocently and funny and then ended up depressing as hell. Definitely lives up to the hype you guys have been giving it.PS---I fell in love with the girl immediately. Felt sorry for the kid--she was a heartbreaker, and he didn't have a chance ;)

Well I love this girl too so reminiscent of the GIRL of the Sixty.
But I think he had HIS chance, as she was in love with him,he just make the wrong move: no move at all.
But I think he had no chance because of his background and his lack of aggressivity against a society that chew you tender, until you are just a number lost in the numbers of the multitude.
His parents: You have a job for life...
The society pervers way to deal...
Do we have a free choice?
Rarely, but we have.
Just this morning my wife and I were discussing it over the morning walk... the scene when he enters the empty hall with a bottle... simply incredible.The story of the guy writing a novel - all seventeen chapters - ending up in the junk pile on the top of the storage cabinet is incredible in itself, and could be made into a movie of its own.
What did it for me was when they all went for the guy's desk at the end---and the guy who complained only moves up one spot after 20 years.Didn't make me enthusiastic about going to work this morning!
And the sudden ending at that point, with IL POSTO appearing on the screen, is one of the great film endings of all time. Whatever hope and optimism you'd built or entertained about this character and his life instantly have the rug pulled out from under them. Crushing.
