School, love, family, work. . We always carry those shaky glass balls on our backs. When they shatter, do you also think about leaving everything behind and traveling?
Or just simply escape, escape from the shackles of a constant life. Don't think about the reason, regardless of the consequences, just listen to your heart.
Under the Tuscan sun, it is a beautiful name in itself, and it entrusts us with so many visions. Not everything the sun shines is perfect. Beautiful, just because it is the other side.
The beginning of the story is very clear. Frances, without dissecting her for her beauty, intelligence, good cooking skills, we can say "she's a lovely woman". Oh yes, she's single recently.
Frances, who was poured into a chicken by the storm, just like we have dreamed countless times, left everything and went out to the place where everything seemed simple - Tuscany. The hooded woman she meets at the fair is like a totem in the film, making Frances aware of what she's missing. Frances, who was chasing the woman, reminded me of Titier and Mittier who were looking for the blue bird. The blue bird led Frances to buy her old house in a small Tuscan town.
It's not always sunny in Tuscany, but after the storm, Frances is surrounded by a group of southern Italians who know how to slow down and enjoy life, and slowly finds her own life.
What really healed Frances was that brief romance. A wonderful encounter on the streets of Rome, a handsome Italian man, regardless of who drove to the seaside, "I would like to swim in your beautiful eyes". . What more can we expect? In her hut by the sea, Frances is freed from a storm. Lovelorn women need such liberation.
As for the hasty ending. . That's a romantic Italian man, Frances doesn't regret it, and we can't blame it too much.
My favorite in the movie is the woman in the hat. Since she came out with that look of enjoyment, few people didn't fall in love with her right away. It doesn't matter whether Fellini has actually met her, at least she has always lived according to her own wishes.
"Terrible ideas, don't you just love those?"
"Never lose your childish enthusiasm."
"Always keep your childish innocent."
Such pure hedonism makes people jealous.
The liberated Frances can start enjoying the sun again. There are countless wonderful things happening or waiting to happen in the old house.
The interesting details of the movie are pieced together: a group of kind and friendly workers, a family of simple and warm neighbors, a young man's straightforward love, a friend and her fleshy little baby, the old man who walks through the window every day. .
And of course, the next encounter.
People in the storm don't necessarily have to go out to Tuscany. But let's start with enjoying the sun.
