Because he likes the film "Blazing Love" directed by Fussen Ozpait, he is almost eager for his new film "Magnifica presenza" watched. For such a unique film, it seems difficult to simply define its type. This film has won quite a lot at the local Italian film festival. In fact, you don’t need to be too professional to find its advantages and disadvantages. I just like it. Its people will not care about those shortcomings.
One of the advantages of the film is that the actors' performances are wonderful and the group scenes are good, especially the hero Pietro played by Elio Germano. This non-mainstream young man is a little sensitive, passionate, talented, timid and cute. In current popular words, he is a bit natural and cute, and more in line with the character's setting, as a showman, Pietro has a little idealism. Cannes actor Elio Germano gave all the qualities needed for this role, especially when expressing emotional changes, the flickering of the eyes and the subtle erratic feeling all show the flow of emotion. The supporting roles in the film also have their own characteristics. Needless to say, the brilliance of the elderly Livia, even each "ghost" stranded in the old apartment has a distinct personality, vivid and natural.
The second advantage is that the details are handled properly and touching the heart. The finesse of details has always been Ozpaet's strong point. Just like the most subtle and graceful touch, it always touches the most stressful part of people's heart inadvertently, and when that Several ghost gates, who have been appearing in full costumes, finally left the old apartment with relief, and when they took the transportation to see the night view of the modern city, when they finally returned to the old theater after a long absence, when they performed the play that was not performed decades ago. , I believe that many audiences will feel warm, beautiful and sad in their hearts, just like Pietro, the only audience in the audience.
As a film involving a ghost plot, the audience may accept its whimsical, but this transcendent story must be magnificent and unexpected. Under such standards, the "suspense cloud" in the film tends to tend to be Simple and outdated, and the slightly rushed multi-line narrative and too many branching plots are the parts of the film that many people criticize. However, considering the very emotional and unavoidably cute side of the male protagonist in the film, the plot description that seems to be so chaotic is also in line with his temperament and feelings.
There is only one truth, and many people want to know it, especially those who are concerned about their own lives, they are more eager to reveal the mystery. What makes the ghosts who were actors in their lives "dead" is that they don't know who betrayed them in the first place, who told the secret, and Pietro, who has recently moved to the old apartment, is very talented, he can see these The ghost, so he became the best person to find Livia, the key person in the event at that time.
Livia, whom the troupe actors trusted back then, used to be their friend and colleague, but now the actress who has changed her name and was once a smash hit is still alive. The three opposite scenes between Pietro and Livia in the film are very good-looking. The collision of the acting skills of the actors makes the performance full of intriguing aftertaste. The first time they met, Livia's pupils suddenly dilated when she heard Pietro mention the name of the troupe. This expression already showed that Pietro had found the right person. The second meeting in the old apartment gradually pushed Livia's uneasy side in the place where she died. During the third confrontational conversation, Livia's words of defense were: " To betray someone, you first have to be on their side, and I'm only on my side, is that a sin?" And in that era when people "sold others for a pack of cigarettes," Livia's The choice may have her position and dilemma, but there is still a child among those "ghosts", and his life will always stay in the past. Bennett once said: "No matter how good the reason is to deceive, there is a better reason to be honest."
This time Ozpait created a dream for the audience, this dream is a bit weird, a bit nightmare, a bit Coquettish, yet a little desolate, people seem to be the protagonists in the film, chasing after a hazy past, even if there is betrayal and betrayal, the overall atmosphere is different and warm, just like ghosts after learning the truth, After being sluggish for a second, he chose to laugh out loud and be willing to admit defeat, which is probably the case.
