Some thoughts after reading it.. I really can't think of a title

I admit that I still haven't connected the title to the plot. It's true that I saw such a title before I saw it and my thoughts were evil, but what a clean and pure movie this is.
The peaceful atmosphere of the Italian countryside permeates the entire film. From the very first scene of Lucy running around the bustling station with a dv feel, to the slowly flowing rural scene, it seems to divide them into two different worlds. The busy world, and the TV tower have not been repaired, the people are so simple and lovely, like a small town in the Garden of Eden.
Just based on my humble understanding, I haven't been able to pull the faint and ambiguous feelings emanating from it to "Steal". After watching it a little absently last night, and looking back at some scenes today, what I see is a persistent pursuit of true love.

Starting from a relationship with her mother many years ago, Lucy has only a few clues, the so-called secret of the man who killed the viper in the olive garden and untied her crony, leading Lucy into this quiet and beautiful but still buried filth little secrets of the countryside.
The sculptor's wife said happily to Lucy, you know, we have never betrayed each other in 20 years.
When Lucy was about to ask about the past, the sculptor interrupted the conversation by shouting that Lucy should come over from behind.
Seeing this, I don't know whether I feel ironic or desolate, but now, I remember when the sculptor's wife said at the end of the film that I wanted to go back to my dark and damp hometown, and I remembered that these two old couples were looking at the door. After the sudden erotic drama outside, the flame that has been extinguished for a long time is rekindled... What I see is the most beautiful love in people's hearts. Because of love, people decorate peace and pretend to be happy, and because of love, they have no strength in the end. Live in this hideaway of escapism.

The night of the first kiss 4 years ago, and the letter full of love, put lucy's thoughts and lust on playboy Nicolos all the time. However, Nic said "i'm dying of u" in confusion when he pressed on her for a rude kiss, and the critically ill writer Alex wrote "i'm dying of her" on his face with longing and happiness. . When Alex was dying, he still sincerely yearned for this love but still maintained a gentleman attitude of respecting each other. With the greedy color of Nic when he followed Lucy to the Olive Garden, beauty and ugliness still coexisted harmoniously.
Furthermore, after being touched passionately by Nic, lucy was crying in front of the mirror alone and wanted to wipe off the traces of Nic on her noble body. At the end of the film, she handed over her virginity to Josephines beside the bonfire under the banyan tree. At that time, the man was about to get up after the two mingled, but Lucy hugged his neck and said "no, stay", and finally, in the slightly scorching sun in the morning, the man smiled and said, this is my first time... So I saw a decision that Lucy made on the road of love, whether it was a shy and shy relationship and the yellowed photo four years ago, or the anonymous love letter that I thought was written by Nic and the hype at the banquet. The smile of a handsome sunny man with a clarinet? Virginity is reserved for true love, such a noble persistence.


The whole film is filled with the pure atmosphere of the thick countryside and the faint ambiguous feelings, not to mention the ingenious fusion of Liv Tyler's beautiful and beautiful face and the quiet and beautiful nature.
The sound effects and pictures of the film are very good. Just based on the feeling, I feel that I don't know anything about film knowledge, and I have a lot of aftertastes.
It is said that the director is over sixty years old, right? But it can still be so beautiful in the final erotic scene, which is worthy of admiration. . There is no excessive nudity and fiery passion, just the faint charming light, the background music is the haunting folk tune, which is already shocking.
