Others have pointed out at all the different, and actually quite legitimate,
inspirations from Breaking Bad to La banda degli onesti, etc.
What I see here is a caustic condemnation for a system which wastes young brains in a corrupt, inefficient loop of despair.
It is sad but unfortunately true that some are overprotected while others have to struggle endlessly.
The final scene is quite subdued but could have been exploited in a more dramatic way.
While I was reluctant to watch it, fearing the usual unpleasant onslaught of so-called New Italian Comedy, I'm glad I finally did. And can recommend it if you like the bittersweet bite of social critique with a few interspersed gags.
