The film was shot in the beautiful capital of art, Florence, Italy. The Italian scenery at the beginning immediately takes the audience to sunny southern Italy, and of course the era of gentlemen and ladies. The seemingly humble little boy and old lady are walking on the streets of Florence, where the story slowly unfolds. The story of the little boy Luca and Miss Mary who adopted him moved me the most. In the scene of the orphanage, Luca and Mary were sitting on a bench in the orphanage. Mary looked at the children here and their lonely eyes. She was reluctant to leave Luca in this place. The orphanage was full of sunshine. Luca's hand was placed on Mary's, and she finally decided to take Luca home.
In the following story, another bright spot appeared, the swaggering sports car, luxurious clothing, no matter where you go, you are always paying attention. This is Elsa. Her appearance is in stark contrast with another old lady in the film, Lady Hester. Wherever she went, she declared that her husband was the former British ambassador to Italy, calm and calm, and felt that she had privileges. Elsa, the American noblewoman, is bragging and enthusiastic about collecting artworks. The cultural contrast in the film forms the basis of character conflict. Among them, the Americans and British friends from dislike each other to becoming alliances and making friends of life and death are also interesting. For the Italian as the enemy, the film also adopts a gentle approach, which makes people feel that it is also a warm and lovely nation.
I prefer the part where the young Luca and Elsa danced. The expressions of the two people smiled and frowned, one turned and the other looked perfect. Luca grew up as an adult with the help of Elsa. She is at a rebellious and innocent age (the boys in that grade are simply wonderful~~~). From the beginning, she was dissatisfied with Elsa and didn’t want to dance. She was shy when she accepted Elsa’s apology. Smile. It makes people feel that this pair is like a son and a mother. Perhaps as people say, the son is the mother's lover, intimate.
At the end of the straight film, I realized that this is a full-luxury line-up film, really worthy of a group of old ladies who act hard. When Arballa, who loves art like life, uses his life to defend Italian architecture and painting art, only this sentence emerged in my heart:
"There are many things in this world that have no borders, such as love, beauty and art."
