The character John I. John (Victor Rebengiuc) – a war veteran whose 50 years of the event is given a medal for acts of bravery, to take back the medal to him when they discovered that it was someone else’s deeds – writer and director Voican Tudor Calin Peter Netzer tried to create an emblematic figure of the victim of the last 50 years of communism and post-communism: pensioner whose moral landmarks comes mainly from the army and Ceausescu’s speeches and that the latter fall from drifting left, responsive to government and nostalgia for the days they were more authoritarian politicians easy prey for demagogues. As noted blogger Cinesseur (going well with the thought of Bertolucci’s title), the story of John I. Ion would be "the tragedy of a ridiculous man" – a character of his Gogol’s mixed with Niki Ardelean Pintilie.

A compilation of five articles, making quite the point.
