Director Ferzan Özpetek packaged "The Ignorant Fairies" with multiculturalism and pride in focusing on disadvantaged groups, but in fact the film is more like a social problem melodrama of the 1970s
. Compared with the director directed by the film " Hamam ", the film is more linear and popular, but the film is not a simple and direct film, but a more complex and meaningful emotional film, the theme of the film goes beyond In addition to the issue of sex, the broader issues of love and loss, family and friendship, trust and deception are discussed in detail. Few characters in the film are completely sympathetic, especially the heroine Antonia and the actor Mike, but resourceful actors almost cut off the rigid surface of the characters with imperceptible performances to reveal their pain, poverty and human nature. In addition, the success of the film is also due to the mixing of Middle Eastern and Latin music, as well as heavy strings, and even opera-like tunes with vivid soundtracks. The end of the film further emphasized the sense of community and rights of Mike's "family", and extended the footage to reality. The footage of the crowd participating in the Pride Parade in Rome, Italy in the summer of 2000 was thought-provoking
