      I have a date with a ghost...

      I have a date with a ghost...

      Forgive me for using such a cheesy title, because after watching this Italian work in costume, I don't have any horror or too much sadness in my head. What I remember is, "The days I lived with the ghost of the theater" "My Roommates", "My free acting class", "I help my roommates fulfill their wishes" and so on. There is no doubt that this is a sad story. Is a young man thinking that he can see these souls all the time,...

      You are my secret when you sleep, when you wake up you belong to everyone

      If you have to rate the movie from the perspective of the academy, it must be ugly, because the chaotic plot arrangement, the dispensable characters, the far-fetched gay background, and the historical unsolved cases that are not black and gorgeous are all too powerful for a movie. Strength, hurt badly. However, maybe people are old, and a few details can be defeated.

      If the film is from a healing point of view, it is really effective. In the middle of the night, a handsome guy like a...

      Different and warm

      Because I like the film "Blazing Love" directed by Fussen Ozpait, I watched his new film "Magnifica presenza" almost with eagerness. For such a unique film, it seems difficult to simply define its type. This film has won quite a lot at the local Italian film festival. In fact, you don’t need to be too professional to find its advantages and disadvantages. I just like it. Its people will not care about those shortcomings.
        One of the advantages of the film is that the actors' performances...

      Dressed but not gorgeous

      The tip of the nose of the male pig is really cute~~ It

      was originally a good theme: comrade + love + family + ghost + WWII spy.

      The life experience of the male pig itself (both parents died, high pressure, emotional barriers) is a good line, as well as the emotional scene with the ghost writer, the emotional scene with the handsome guy downstairs, how to change from fear to cooperation to coexistence with ghosts. Friends, with the help of ghosts, I grew up and auditioned...

      The arc of the writer's mouth is too charming. The story of the movie itself is scattered, but the details are moving. I especially like the last part - the protagonist's expression show, which is completely taken away by the emotions expressed by his eyes....

      As a group of acting ghosts, I don't think their performances are convincing at all. . What deserves extra points is the pair of blue eyes focused in front of him after waking up from the dream and the friendly smiling face crossing the crowd on the...

    Evaluation action

    Combining nostalgia and reality critique, Magnificent Presence, director Ferzan Özpetek fuses reality and imagination, story and allegory   , re-examining the gulf between drama and real life. Like the director's other works, homosexuality is treated in a relaxed and natural way in this film   . The whole film is sunny and interesting, and does not blindly describe the life of homosexuality with heavy shots   . "Magnificent Presence"...
