2004 Scanpia Rush;
The 2007 collective massacre of blacks by the Casares group shocked even the whole of Europe.
Let's talk about the filming of "Gomorrah"
"Gomorrah" uses a large number of extras, shoots in a very documentary way, and finally presents a style between the film and the documentary, in order to create a sense of realism, and even deliberately sacrificed some watchability.
It is said that the Italian government organized prison prisoners to watch "Gomora" en masse, and the prisoners found that one of the extras was the local gang leader, and the police arrested him in one fell swoop.
Original author of Gomorrah
Gomola is based on a novel that Robert received since its publication in 2006
The Camorra Group's death ultimatum was even bodyguarded when he went to the Cannes Film Festival in 2008 for the film awards ceremony.
It is said that to this day, the death ultimatum of the Neapolitan gangsters is still in effect, and Robert is still under the protection of the Italian police.
The reason why the Camorra Group cares so much about a documentary author is that his work profoundly exposes the way criminal organizations operate and the bloody nature.
The original novel of "Gomorrah" sold 1.2 million copies in Italy alone, which is the level of Han Hanguo Jingming, but you know, the total population of Italy is about 60 million.
