I'm still far from really understanding

Read it again. There are several questions.
1. Who is Alex?
What role is Alex? Why was he taken away by the god of death the day after he thought Lucy lost virginity? And why did Lucy find his real father, his real first love, and have real sex on the day he was gone?

2. Why is Lucy American?
What is the image of America here? The opposite of Italy's dreamy idyllic scenery?

3. Alex said to Lucy, I've never been very good at getting what I need. Then he said, don't give up, you will find him. You won't let me down.
The one here is Lucy's biological father, the other is the person Lucy is waiting for, what else is it referring to? Furthermore, what does it mean to Alex if Lucy can find "him"? What made him care so much? And, what kind of person is the "he" in Alex's heart? What is the correct answer in Alex's mind?

And question 456.
Like Daisy, Malinda, Diane and other female characters. They are so subtle! ! !
There is also the sentence that the director inserted forcefully: There is no love in the world, only the proof of love.
why? Director, what do you want to say?
In fact, I want to understand every shot about Alex.

I have to say that apart from Lucy, the most charismatic and thickest images in this film are the three father candidates.
A few details of the little virgin are also intriguing. The phrase "Could you...help me?" is the most expressive.

In fact, there is another shot that makes me tremble the most, that is Diane. Sitting in the unlit kitchen, she said she wanted to go back to the dark and damp home where the milk turned sour. Say you don't want to take care of others anymore.
Then the lights came on and everyone filed in, and Diane opened the refrigerator door with a small smile on her face.
