This movie has a special place to me , it's the desperate Efforts of Machiavelli to build up italy again from the scratch , From his exile he enlighten his leader with his political knowledge through a gift which is later the most famous book , he accept what the people would like and Would not for his homeland , and make a great leader to the people of italy , later misinterpreted by leaders who take his ideas to become dictators , my country suffers the same and it makes me so accepting to the ideas of the prince For my homeland .
