Splendid life

The most unforgettable thing is that after Giorgia reappeared, the two brothers did not know who said, "I think we all loved her at the time."
The trip with the crazy girl when they were young was really the best time. Along the way, there was a girl who could not hide the jokes of envy when her brother was sleeping soundly on Matteo, and there was also Nicola's gentle and considerate meticulousness. However, all of a sudden everything broke the panicked eyes of the girl who was taken away by the police.
Nicola continued to move forward, but Matteo behind him embarked on the return journey in silence. Afterwards, there was a hug during the meeting in Florence against the floods, and the fierce quarrel on the way back to Rome when his father died, the two did not have much overlap in 20 years. What we see are the two sides of life and even human nature, but the blood that we struggle to maintain between them is thicker than water.

In one of the episodes that I reviewed after watching the entire movie, a crazy girl discovered that Matteo was hysterical after seeing her diary. I remember that Matteo's name was written on it. Matteo, who tried to defend himself in the heavy rain, left in a hurry under the persuasion of his brother, and the latter calmed the girl without surprise. A close-up of Matteo's face, which was soaked in the rain, appeared gloomy and gloomy in front of the camera. Nicola's question behind him received no answer.
17 years later, Matteo who opened the door of the house hesitated to say something, but Nicola who was seeing off was still confused "what's the matter". The other party smiled and quickly walked into the night.
I don't know if it rained only after Matteo jumped that night.

Matteo's death was abrupt in an instant. At this time, there are two hours left in the movie, and it will be about the next 20 years. The momentary blank thoughts began to move forward, from that night weeping Mirella who came to the door and the viciousness of the police station, to the other night watching the woman's back violently turn, to the last time with her father many years ago, to one time An out-of-control attack, a rebellious self-expression in the school days.
Seeing the all-A transcripts of Matteo’s school days that our mother treasured, we should have not forgotten Nicola, who sat in front of the professor many years ago, and even clearly remember the old man who said: "Your grades should have been B+ or A-, but Because of your attitude, I will give you an A."
Of course, we are fascinating, proud, self-reliant, lonely, rebellious, contradictory, and even unreasonable for Matteo. In the face of Nicola, he did not lose a moment of calmness and calmness. But I have not forgotten that he said to Giulia, who was thrown into prison by himself, "Marry me".

I remember that the last Italian movie that I saw to tears was [Son's Room], and I had a similar impulse to face the scene after Matteo's death last night. The grief of the mother and son was only revealed after they walked out of Matteo's apartment. The staggering mother released the three books in her hand, sister Francesca picked it up in tears, and Nicola on the other side was already crying to gloom.
The scene of Matteo and his brother's family rushing back to his father's funeral is even more unforgettable. The rage out of control instantly turned into weak tears after getting out of the car. He and Nicola hugged tightly in the cold night.
The news of the mother's death was read inconsistently by the children in the hospital. Nicola, with white temples, went to a small town by the sea and placed a bunch of flowers on the grave. It was calm and there were still times.

One of the deepest impressions that faded out was on Giorgia's blank but full-faced face. With a song [A Chi] played on the jukebox, we hope or affirm that Matteo could have taken a step forward.
He didn't get there. Years later, the young man who became as tall and upright as he was then stepped onto the land where he had never stopped, and wrote to his other father Nicola, "Life is as good as you said."
The sunset is therefore the perfect end.
