National Anthems are a shit genre
I like national anthems!
I mostly agree, but sometimes they have the perfect level of drama, like that scene in Casablanca
Whenever Ferrari wins in F1 they play the Italian anthem and it's a lovely jaunty march.
Whenever i hear the Italian national anthem, i imagine the lyrics to just be "Italia, Italia, Italia, Italiaaaa" over and over again. idk why
That would be better than the patriarchal bullshit that "fratelli d'Italia" is
A good national anthem should be a bad song. Think about it. A soldier crying and saluting an objectively brilliant piece that makes you want to cry? Meaningless. The song makes everyone want to cry. But that same soldier crying to a mediocre 19th century drinking song with the most forgettable orchestral backdrop you've ever heard? Damn, he must really love his country to be moved by that piece of shit
