Country of production: USA / Italy. Release date: 2003. Douban 8.1. Produced in 2003 Oh, I only saw it in 2022! It is a film that purely interprets love. Take love as the carrier, write about sorrow and joy, and write about the colorful and mottled life in love. Write about the beauty of love, the hurt of love, the value of love to life, and the attitude of love, the faith of love. Online testimonials say, it looks great! After reading it, I sincerely feel that the recommendation is not false. Watched it over and over again. There is a kind of visual and sensory enjoyment, there is a kind of deep thinking, and there is also a kind of admiration for the art of film. Douban's score of 8.1 is too low, and in my aesthetic point of view, it should at least be 9.1. Its values, its story combination jump, its nature, its humanistic spirit that penetrates deep into the marrow, the appearance of love it vividly depicts, its classic lines, its value of healing emotions, the posture of living it explains, its overall beauty, I don't know how good it can be. Thanks for meeting. It is a movie recommended by a friend, after watching it, I replied to the message and thanked it on behalf of me: everywhere is frustration, everywhere is love, everywhere is the truth of life. romantic. warm. noble. heal. Intriguing.
2. Toast to regaining freedom and respect freedom
The heroine, Francis, looks to be in her forties and is a writer and literary critic. Her husband was a fan of hers, but her marriage was suddenly broken. The husband cheated and asked for the property according to Xinhuan's wishes. Collapse within a crash, waking up from a dream shattered. Francis took half the money from the original property and rented the house.
Girlfriend Patty enlightens the heartbroken Francis
In the moment of grief, Francis's girlfriend, her unassuming but powerful Patti accompanies and enlightens Francis: Don't be a coward at the crossroads of life, either turn left or right. She said cheers to freedom, to have fun at the beginning and to the end. Very sharp soothing. He suggested that Francis follow a gay tour group on a trip to Tuscany, Italy. Patty is gay, and she gives up the opportunity to Francis because she is pregnant. The woman said, I am not gay. But in loneliness, she finally accepted Patty's advice, left sadly, and changed the crowd and place.
3. It will take time for the emotional wound to heal
On the way to the gay tour bus, an old-fashioned villa attracted Francis. By mistake, she bought the 300-year-old villa for less money. Alone in an empty old house, she was frightened by a storm and lightning strike, and she became more and more depressed and desperate. The benevolent house agent Martini went to see her after the thunderstorm, and she cried to the man like a straw: You see how hard it is for me to live alone; when a man who swears to cherish you and ends up saying that he has never loved you, you will absolutely lose his mind; I should not live in this strange world... He said and turned around and cried. The man silently picked up the lady's large shawl and draped it over Francis behind him, and he stood before Francis and said warmly: Dear lady, you can't be so sad anymore, you have to cheer up; if you are so sad again, I will have to have sex with you, and I have never been unfaithful to my wife.
Francis told his neighbor Martini about his divorce
Fantastic details. Ladies are lonely, men are considerate, and there are only two of them in the world. As viewers, we thought something was going to happen to them. The atmosphere is like a drizzle and a gentle breeze, and the ripples are endless. But the man still couldn't bear to turn around slowly, and the woman couldn't make up her mind to ruin the innocence of the family. But the warmth of the pulse between them remained in their hearts and also left to the audience.
4, no matter how strong the heart, can not bear the emotional wounds
Her girlfriend Patti suddenly visits and comes to Italy, taking her hulking body that is about to be born. She lay on Francis's bed and suddenly burst into tears, saying that she was loved (or lover?). Abandoned, the other party does not want children. Crying, she asked Francis: How did you survive? How do you breathe?
Patty was also injured
Patty, so powerful, persuaded Francis to be so decisive: don't be a coward; turn left to right at the intersection; and have fun at the beginning and end. But when it came to herself, she couldn't enjoy it, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe again. Emotional wounds are powerful. Man cannot pretend to be strong. Pretending is a flaw in human nature and a flaw in art. Francis accompanies Patty through her difficulties, including assisting her in giving birth to her baby.
5. A dew love affair
Francis was out shopping when he was spotted by three men. The three of them giggled and followed the American girl. In a hurry, Francis wisely raised his arm when he met the handsome man Marcello: I have been looking for you for half a day, why have you gone! The three men stopped abruptly. Marcello was still in confusion, and Francis said "bye-bye" and left with a smile. But she folded back later and asked the man where there was a glass seller. The horse drove her to go. They ate together, went to the beach together, and looked like lovers.
Their flirtation has both flavor and meaning. The man said, your eyes are beautiful, I want to swim in these eyes. Francis said it was a classic love story an Italian man would say. The man said: If you meet a wonderful person or something, you should hold her until the moment you let go.
Later, Francis said to Marcello sadly and seriously, I have only been alone since the divorce, there has been no man around for a long time, very lonely and lonely, can you help me change this state? The horse said step by step, do you want me to have sex with you? Fu Nu nodded and said: "Yes." So, they completed a perfect fish and water celebration.
The famous radio DJ Yang Fan has a famous saying: the pain of lost love does not lie in the loss of love itself, but in the lack of connection. Hurry up and find your next home.
At this time, Francis found his next home for a while. As soon as she washed her face full of sorrow, she returned to the dance of the eyebrows, and when she returned home, she danced and said to herself: Ha, I am still so charming, or so charming! There is love and no love, and there is a difference between people's mood clouds and mud.
One day, Marcello drove to find Francis, but he didn't meet him. The horse left a letter saying that he dreamed of the woman wearing a long white dress. The woman specially bought a long white dress, and the skirt fluttered on a policeman's motorcycle, and she went to her love very windily. When I got downstairs to the man's house, I found that Marcello already had a new person. Ma Nan said, you are a good woman, I do want to be with you... But each time the plan is not as fast as the change... The woman turned from joy to sorrow and fell into the ice cave. The man said apologetically, you see, we did have a great time... Do you regret it? Fu Nu actually shook her head, meaning that she did not regret it.
Just like that, a flash in the pan, love disappears into invisibility.
6, a woman with a variety of styles
There is a dashing woman Catherine in the play, and the heartbreak of love and romance has probably "abused" her a thousand times, but she has a knife and gun, a variety of styles, flowing and free, and enjoy life to the fullest. She gave Francis a lot of "teachings" and said many wise words:
Don't let the shadows of the past fade away your present time. In many cases you have to live a full life. No matter what adversity you encounter, never lose your childlike innocence. Regret is a waste of time. They make it impossible for you to face reality from the past. If you continue to indulge in it, how can you be happy? A transparent woman, Francis drew a lot from her.
7, the pain of the grandmother's lost love
The son told everyone that his mother was sad
Grandma often cried after falling out of love
There is an old grandmother in the neighboring house, not beautiful, not elegant, no temperament, ordinary, eighty years old. But for some time the grandmother washed her face with tears all day. For Mauni? His son said why. Mom fell in love via email, and an Ecuadorian, but only from telling each other the age, the result... The grandmother herself went on to say, "He will never write again," choking up again. Her son said sympathetically, you deserve it too. Grandma said, you are wrong, I am very sad. People are old, and their hearts will hurt.
Catherine asked Francis in front of her grandmother: Do you really live alone, without a husband or a companion or anything? The Woman asked Catherine, do you have one? Catherine replied: More than one. When I heard this old grandmother, I cried even more. This paragraph seems funny, but it is very warm. The grandmother did not hide the pain of her lost love at all. Grandma also needs love.
8, just because I looked at you in the crowd
The two teenagers seem to have spotted each other while picking betel nuts. They didn't say anything, but the gazes at each other had planted each other in their hearts.
There is no reason for love. Love is often abrupt. Don't say that the two of them, the people off the screen, see that kind of gaze and feel that they should be together.
The two fell in love. "Excessively", they sneaked up to Francis's bed and made love. Francis and her girlfriend Patty heard the voice and went into the house to find them. Furious, the next line goes like this:
F: You two are going too far! I actually ran to my bed to make love, and I never did it there! What has become of my family! Pornography for minors! ......
Boy: If I don't spend time with her, I'll die of heartache...
Girl: We're going to go crazy by losing each other...
The first time they were not to apologize, not to be ashamed, but to eagerly lament the love they had died and lived. Francis and Patti are changing their emotions and expressions as they listen to the confessions of the two children, and they become their accomplices.
Francis's villa was installed for her by a small Polish renovation team. The boy was a member of the renovation team. When the boy went to the girl's house to propose marriage, he was firmly opposed by the girl's parents. Father said, you are penniless, you are a little carpenter. The boy said, but I really love her, I will give her happiness.
Father said, love, who has ever seen? The father asked the girl who helped the little couple: Do you have love? F said that I didn't find true love, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Grandma "mended the gun" in time: I have seen love, and your father and I love very much. Father added that he did not even have a family. Fu Nu said, he has me, I am his family. So, in the courtyard of Francis's villa, a warm and romantic wedding was held.
9. Amorous neighbor Martini
Neighbor Martini, with a beautiful heart and amorous eyes. When he and Francis look at each other, you think something should happen to them. That love thread is cruising in a chaotic and ambiguous area, and people are outside the boundary river. Although nothing happened, the man gave the lonely and lonely Woman a lot of warm comfort and help. This love, which is more than friendship than love, is no less weight than love, and it is also very beautiful.
The decoration of the villa of the Fur woman is Martini who helps her find a decoration team and personally supervises the work, so that this single woman from a foreign country (the United States) who is depressed and heartbroken after divorce looks like there is a man behind her. When the woman cried to him about the pain of divorce and the loneliness of the divorce and the hope of a new marriage, the man sat in front of the woman's fireplace and told a story with a deep meaning while adding firewood:
Madam, there is a very steep section of the Alps, and they built railways on it to connect Vienna and Venice, and these railways were built before the train came. They built it because they knew that one day the train would come. Be happy, madam.
On a "big market" day, Francis meets Martini and his family again. The wife took the child and took the first step with great cultivation, leaving Martini to talk to the woman. The man said, I reckon you'll be here too today, so I brought you a special gift. He took a small sculpture from his arms and said:
This is San Lorenzo, the patron saint of the chefs. He died for martyrdom, and he was roasted dry on the grill until he said, "Turn me over, this side is already baked." If you make a wish with him, he will help you find someone who will appreciate your cooking skills.
Because the Woman had complained that I had such good cooking skills that no one needed me to cook. This man is so affectionate and deep, in difficult times, he gave the priceless warmth and strength of the Woman.
10. The train is coming
Francis is also working on railroad tracks. She helps her girlfriend Patty out of her pain and helps her have a baby. She let go of the pain of building her own house and courtyard. She stepped forward to help the young couple eventually become a family member, and set up their wedding in her own courtyard. She sympathizes with Catherine very kindly—when Catherine is alone in the fountain pool performing a playline, she hints at Martini next to her: there is a man in the play holding up the lady. In full view of everyone, the man walked into the pool and took the woman's hand, perfecting the plot and letting Catherine bathe in love during the performance.
Francis stood next to a little couple and said, "I am the boy's family."
Just at the wedding of the two little couples, a man came, and he came for Francis. He said, whose wedding was this? Francis told him whose it was. The man said, thankfully it's not yours.
At the wedding of the little couple, Francis's "train" came
This is an obvious code word. It turned out that the writer said to Francis, you have commented on my book, and that is the best bad review I have ever received. For this reason, my second book was a success. When I knew you had moved here, I found you. The plot does not continue. But it gives us room to imagine: the train is finally coming.
0. Conclusion
Some people say that such a good movie, in a few years I will have to watch it again. I wondered why we couldn't make such a beautiful movie. Because we have too many seemingly noble taboos and shallow intolerances. Those taboos, those intolerances, transcend human nature, bury human nature, but also blaspheme beauty, bury beauty.
Francis went to love in a beautiful white dress, and as they talked, a woman stood on the upstairs balcony calling for a man
Francis had a vain marriage, a dewy affair. But the end is the end, there is nothing to condemn, and the woman does not dwell on it. This is often the case in life. There is no herb at the end of the world. Francis hurts and hurts, but it's more fragrant. Nothing can stop her, she is a beautiful and beautiful woman after all.
Grandma experienced true love. Her husband is gone, and she is old, but she is still full of longing for love, hurting for love, and supporting her granddaughter to dare to love. The film does not taunt the love of the elderly, but intends to understand and pay tribute. It embodies the beauty of rich human nature.
Just today, the wife of a high-ranking official, who is also a high-ranking high-ranking official herself, is a big sister of mine who is almost like a girlfriend, and called me. She said her mother was widowed at the age of 54, died at the age of 92, and has been widowed for 38 years, living alone more than 1/3 of the length of her life. But two weeks before her death, her mother finally spoke out about her regret: the pain of loneliness. The mother said that there was once a man who had an interest in her, but she was embarrassed to tell her children. Such an elderly mother plucked up the courage to say such a thing before her death, which made the eldest sister burst into tears. She said that she was filial piety, how could she not think of this? She returned to the village and asked the villagers if her mother had been widowed for many years, whether she had any gossip or friendship. The villagers said, no, the old man is very clean. The eldest sister only had heartache after listening to it, how she wished her mother was not so "clean". What a cruel word such a "clean". Therefore, after her mother left, she could not walk out of deep self-blame for a long time, as the only daughter of the brothers and sisters, how could she be so careless. So she cried and cried.
In the human world, regardless of the East and the West, human nature is interconnected.
"Under the Tuscan Sun" is a warm film, the whole movie, the sun is shining, warm and beautiful. In the world, above human nature. Without him.
