The style of the film is honest and intriguing, which makes the audience unknowingly be brought into the comfortable atmosphere created by it. This Italian film from 2007 has many swaying scenes. The actor's character is stylish and stylish, but its strengths are not only in the form of beautiful and delicious, its character modeling is full of tension and there is no lack of imagination space, the plot is rich and round, and it has an aftertaste. It captures and records the life of the Italian yuppie family in miniature. Most importantly, it also makes the interaction, purification and sublimation of the deep love and beautiful friendship intertwined among this group of people in sudden changes, which is delicate and incisive. 's characterization.
The director is Fussen Ozpait, who once directed "External Desire". This former Turkish journalist in Italy has been soft on awards since he entered the world of light and shadow. He is good at grasping complex interpersonal relationships and emotions. , which can present all kinds of emotions in an intricate and romantic way. In "Blazing Love", Ozpait focused the camera on a group of people. They are confidants and friends, with a good income and a comfortable life. They spend their free time together. At the same time, they are intertwined with complicated Relationships, some are lovers, some are ex-lovers, some are secret crushes, some are couples facing emotional doomsday, and some are a haven for Oedipus... Ozpait starts from their love, friendship and family affection, and creates a wishful food-like food. At the same time of charming style, it reproduces an emotional story in life, as mellow as fine wine.
In the film, Lorenzo (Luca Argentino), a handsome young real estate agent who has an affinity and enjoys spending time with his friends, shares his relationship with his beloved boyfriend, the mild-mannered author Davey (Pier Francisco Law). Vino (played by Vino)'s house is a place where friends gather, the film uses his voice-over to promote the development of the plot and emotions, and one of his voice-overs is used twice, the first time it sounded shortly after the film started. When we gathered tableware and food around the table, his voice sounded contented and happy: "At times like this, I'm always happy, and I don't know why, but seeing David with this group of friends, It just makes me feel safe, I know what they're thinking, the same situation, the same old conversation, I enjoy it, I don't like surprises, or sudden changes, I hope this will never change , although I understand that there is no such thing as eternity in the world."
If there is no such thing as eternity in the world, things are impermanent, and sudden changes are the norm in the world. Sometimes sad events don’t take too long to happen. This voice-over sounded for the second time at the end of the film. At this time, Lorenzo had passed away. On the outdoor table tennis table of the villa by the sea cliff, a mixed doubles game was lively, and several other friends cheered enthusiastically-finally , David, who went out alone and closed himself, got out of his depression under the close and measured protection of his friends, and accepted the sad fact that his ardent love had passed away and he had survived alone. Although Lorenzo did not like sudden changes, this sudden change and the days and nights waiting outside his ward gave this group of friends the opportunity and time to review and rediscover their own lives. The taste of it is like drinking water. , cold and warm self-awareness.
Long before Lorenzo appeared, the older Sergio and David were a pair. Now, facing Lorenzo's sudden collapse and death, and David's depression, Sergio's heart is very complicated, and he is helping the old Aida. When Wei faced the reality, he was also ridiculed by Davy; the translator Neville was a fat old woman, her little husband obviously had an Oedipal complex, although she was innocent but straightforward, she always hurt people inadvertently, as in Lorenzo. Before the onset of the illness, she had said that she had hurt him, so outside Lorenzo's ward, she was quieter than usual; Roberta (played by Jabra Angelina), who was taking medicine all day, seemed not to fit in with this group of people, she It was Lorenzo's colleague and the object of his attempts to date, but she still witnessed the love between Lorenzo and David, and she entered this circle like a "follower", however, she couldn't give up her secret love for Lorenzo , as if it was a kind of psychological compensation, she was a drug addict, and was called "drug bug" by Neville, when Lorenzo, who was scolded by Neville, said to the seemingly heartless Roberta in frustration, "If I can be like You'll be fine like this." Roberta's heart felt like it was being poured over with hot oil in an instant... To be honest, Angie Olin did a good job in this scene.
David's N-year old friend, bank executive Antonio (played by Stefano Akosi) and psychologist Angelica (played by Margherita Bay), the couple lives well, with children and daughters, everything depends It was all perfect, however, they were going through a relationship crisis. Antonio fell in love with a woman older than his wife. He fought back and forth between reason and infatuation, and in front of Lorenzo who knew it, he was even more embarrassed and anxious. At first, Lorenzo's coma made him feel lucky, and then he was determined to have a showdown with his wife. After that, the waiting in the hospital corridor, the farewell in the morgue, and the night chat in the villa made him think about his true feelings. ; Angelica, who pursues perfection in everything, has always played a mediator and rational-oriented role among this group of friends. However, the impermanence of Lorenzo's life and the red light in marriage have made her, who is a bit controlling, finally examine herself... … In all honesty, a role like Angelica is not that easy to play, but fortunately, Margarita Bay is so skilled at reproducing it just right.
It can be said that the film has a luxurious cast, with a bunch of popular Italian stars participating in the film, including many actors and actresses, such as Venice actor Stefano Acosi, Italian actor Pier Francesco Favino, Italian actress Margherita Bey and so on, and of course the popular idol Italian male model Luca Argentino, and Jabra Angelina, who won the best female supporting role in Italy at a young age, can be described as dazzling stars. As a result, Ozpaet's appeal in the Italian film industry is also evident.
The Italian title of the film is interesting, referring to Saturn, which is considered to be the star of destiny (Saturn symbolizes control and control). The meaning of the title is "the destiny of love", which seems to be more suitable for the creators Intent, perhaps in their view, the budding of love, the fork in the road, the end or the restart, all of which are arranged by fate, this kind of thinking may be a bit negative and one-sided, it is inevitable to think of Roberta, who considers herself a loser in the film, she She has to show people the horoscope at every turn, and was laughed at by her friends as "this is the only thing she is good at". She once said to Paul, "I can't quit anything, even if Saturn is reversed today", implying that she had a crush on Lorenzo. The ardent love remains.
In addition, the soundtrack of the film is very nice, whether it is a simple piece of music or the lead singer, in the film, the songs played by David and Lorenzo when they were shopping in the supermarket are as smooth and light as a joyful song of life. The lingering and slightly rising portamento of the male vocal sings, which fills every note and sound with endless romance and a touch of sadness. Later, the accompaniment of accordion and violin assisted by percussion further contributes to this kind of music. The lingering of the sentiment makes people feel that the lingering sound is still lingering and imaginative.
