The name of the movie seems confusing, but after watching the movie, I found that it is quite suitable for the summer sunshine coast of Italy. The city in the movie is called Portoroso. After checking, the location is the Cinque Terre, an Italian tourist resort.
Regarding the plot of the movie, I don't think there is anything worth thinking about, but for those who have lived by the Italian seaside, the scenes in the animation are very exciting! The buildings in the town are simply a high-fidelity reproduction of the real scene, with bright yellow and blue walls, houses are slightly chaotically distributed on the rolling hills by the sea, stone walls and roads, crowded dilapidated and steep streets, That section of the mountain bike ride down the mountain was very similar to the way I went down the mountain from my residence on the mountain in Naples (the bridge section on the mountain road with steps is real, I have seen it with my own eyes). There are also blue ocean and beautiful sky, which makes people feel that this taste is too right!
The red-haired Julia and the villain are very Italian in appearance, character, and gestures, especially when they speak, they like to use various gestures and stick out their tongues. The dialogue in the film is interspersed with a lot of Italian passages, such as
Silenzio, Bruno! (Shut up, Bruno)
Bravo (great), Bravissimo (great)
Buogiono (Good Morning)
Stupido (fool)
With an Italian soundtrack, the film is full of Italian flair.
The things and people that appear in the movie are also very distinctive, all kinds of pasta, Espresso (espresso), Masuria cheese, small motorcycle Vespa, when it comes to motorcycles, in my impression, the motorcycles that shuttle in the streets of Naples are Nightmare-like existence, whizzing through the window in the middle of the night, very loud (no muffler?). But the Vespa little motorcycle is very Italian and cute.
Maybe we think that foreigners belong to the same kind of people, but after going to Italy, we found that Italians have some very typical genes. We often see passers-by on the street with the same body shape and head shape as school classmates. Julia's father is very typical, and Luca's father is more like a cartoon version of one of my Italian classmates.
Luca's father's sentence "They are not sea monsters, they are Luva and Alberto." makes people instantly break the defense. I am familiar with the feeling of trying to gain a sense of identity and trying to be accepted. I think of the loneliness in Naples during the epidemic. And the help I got from my Italian classmates.
The scene when Alberto and Luca parted reminded me of Lennon and Lila in the Naples tetralogy. After thinking about it, I found that it is very interesting to compare them. The smart, precocious and brave Lila took Lennon to see the sea in the distance. Pursue a bright future, show amazing talent in literature, fight against the city gangster Michele, protect Lenon, but end up in chaotic Naples, while Lenon goes to college in the north and becomes a writer . Of course, the difference between Alberto and Lila is that he doesn't want reading to be the focus? Alberto is more like the kind-hearted big brother that everyone may have met as a child who helped you.
Also, having never studied Italian, I don't know what Alberto meant when he said "...Tronbeta?"...
