The film was the highest-grossing film in Italy in 2010, surpassing blockbusters such as Avatar and Inception. In addition to showing that Italians are very patriotic, this is really a comedy that suits the appetite of Italians and is very witty and wonderful.
Southern Italy - mainly Naples, gives the impression that it is very dangerous, the mafia and the police are one family. People behave vulgarly, are overly enthusiastic, have simple folk customs, do not understand dialects at all, completely ignore any traffic rules, complete traffic lights, everyone rides motorcycles but no one wears a helmet, there are many mafia robbery, it can be said that many places have It is absolutely impossible to go without the company of strong local people. A motorcycle can take N people. The economy is very underdeveloped. Compared with the north, the food is delicious, especially the pizza. Compared with the northern European cheese list style, the food is more in line with Chinese tastes. The food sometimes seems strange to the natives - such as the pig's blood and chocolate in the movie, the big nipple cheese and so on. The beach is very beautiful, attaches great importance to family, the girl with dark hair and eyes is very charming, the concept is very traditional, eats too much pasta, everyone rests for a long time at noon, drinks too much coffee and wine, the wine is basically home brewed Yes, it is almost certain that the dead are often despised by the people of the big northern cities. In fact, I have never been to Naples, but I have only heard from many people who have been there and who have lived there.
The Neapolitan dialect in the movie is basically incomprehensible. Fortunately, my boyfriend knew quite a lot of Neapolitans when he was a soldier. He is also a southerner himself, so it is not a problem to explain it to me. Although I didn't understand it 100%, the various baggage in the movie still made me laugh crazy. Although movies are movies and reality is reality, if there are such a group of simple and loving people in the world, such a simple and beautiful seaside town would be too cute. Northern Italy represents the delicacy, elegance, developed industry and fashion of Italy. The simplicity and enthusiasm of the southerners are the essence of Italians, and it is the common impression of Italians in the hearts of people all over the world.
One more important point I have to add is the eerie similarity between Naples and China. For example, when crossing the road without looking at the traffic lights, you will start a fight when you are in a hurry. Naples is also the concentration of fake Italian brands. In fact, it is not necessary for the Chinese to make fakes. The Italians have already made all kinds of fake famous brands. Of course, the price is higher than that of Chinese fake famous brands. These fake famous brands are probably medium brands. price. The University of Naples is also the best place in Italy to learn Chinese. For Iphone and ipad, psp and other jailbreaks, Naples is also at the forefront of the world. Maybe because they are poor people so they are so wise. .
In fact, I myself have been in a small seaside town for N years. I think there must be many people in other places who are fantasizing about how beautiful my city is. The so-called fantasy is to hate the place where you are bored and envy the place where others are bored.
