È stata la mano di Dio - 2021, Paolo Sorrentino
27 December 2021
My opinion, about this film, differs than others, in fact I think this film is not so good.

During the runtime, I thought all the time: "when this will end? I can't take it anymore" "Others" say this film is wonderful and deep, but I say that it is boring and discounted.

The film is set in Naples in the 1980s and tells the story of a lonely boy named Fabietto who lives a life full of ups and downs, disappointments and satisfactions (including the arrival of Maradona in Naples).

The director is Paolo Sorrentino, also from Naples, and it is from 2021.

The principal actors are Luisa Ranieri (Patrizia in the movie), Filippo Scotti, who is Fabietto Schisa, Teresa Saponangelo and Toni Servilli, who are Maria e Saverio Schisa.

My thesis is: this film is good but not so good.

It is done well but does not transmit anything, the events are basic, and they don't have any suspense or twists and turns, for example the family lunch, there is a good 10-15 minutes in which they eat and interact with each other, admittedly a very intimate and beautiful moment, but its flaw is that it conveys no desire to go on to find out what is going to happen. This feeling, "to find out what is going to happen" I felt at the begin, the first shot which is composed of almost 2 min of sea and silence and then immediately, out of the blue, after this feeling of peace, the director decides to throw us into the middle of the city center full of noise and honking horns.

It must be said, however, that the photography and acting in this film is not bad at all, and the meanings and teachings are very beautiful, but perhaps they should have been developed more. There are two hours in which nothing exciting happens, and in these two hours I think that Fabietto's feelings and desires should have been developed better.

So to conclude in brief, Acting: 6,5 Characters: 6 Cinematography: 8 Plot: 4 Ending: 5 But this is my opinion :) Thank for reding so far.
