1. At the beginning of the film, the little boy is as beautiful as a dream in early summer, and his blue eyes are as clear as water, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.
2. Grandma's clothes and temperament are all great. I like her calm and modest attitude towards life. I have never seen her yell and shout. She will put on a good-looking but never too bright lipstick when she goes out. It is elegant, which is what I hope state of old age.
3. The conflict between grandfather and granddaughter is the most intense. Seeing her kissing the pizza man, he was anxious; she was wearing a thong and hugging the pizza man, he pulled her away, and under the quarrel, he slapped her. In fact, both times I think he seems to be a little over the top. It wasn't until the end that the pizza man actually sold drugs and gave his granddaughter a psychedelic drug. I didn't think the director wanted to say that the grandfather's fierce body is actually super keen to see people? The more intense he is, the more he shows love. It takes time and experience to understand this kind of intensity and love. The granddaughter finally understood.
4. Grandpa and grandma looked so good when they were young. Their acquaintance and love, the director did not write directly, but borrowed photos and sketched it out with their friends. The imagination is huge. Moreover, there is also a discussion of "love at first sight" in the middle. Worth pondering.
5. The ice cream girl is very interesting. In a red dress, with a flirtatious look. Reminds me of the beautiful legends of Sicily. The one who loves her the most is her eldest grandson. Love it and hate it, can't help but watch. When he left, he was gently rubbing his hair with that hand. It probably made him think about a semester, right? Youth, isn't that what it is? Dreamy?
6. At the end of the film, the grandfather, mother, and an angelic little boy stood in the middle. I once thought that the boy would pull the two adults together. Who knows, the angle of the camera has been adjusted several times, but the three of them just stood like this, just standing. But think again, yes. If you really want to embrace reconciliation, it will be vulgar and idealized. We haven't seen each other for 17 years. First, we have to see each other, and then leave it to time. Is that right?
Not deliberately, gently and softly.
It is a film that needs to be calmed down to slow down.
