So the Italian film, "Saló or the 120 Days of Sodom", turns out to be correct about the fascists, even if the director, Pier Paolo Pasolini, said it was a metaphor. He was believed to have been killed by fascists because of the director's anti-fascism.
I wish I could upvote this a hundred times. Saló is a genuinely horrific movie, but what Pasolini intended to do with it and why is beyond reproach. I too believe that's why he was killed, to the point I don't think there's really any doubt anymore.
A recent probe into his killing have mentioned that the gang who possibly killed Pasolini, has ties to the far-right.
