Sadly Over-hyped

Captivating movie !

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I will not completely summarize the plot since so many have done this well in these reviews. And although I clicked the spoiler alert I prefer not to spoil the movie's resolution.The main character is a man who we slowly learn has known loneliness and abandonment in his life. From Antonio's cheery, direct face as he relates to others we might not know that he is in need of another person. He meets Maria and we begin to see Antonio coming to the surface. At first he relates to us, the audience, through the persona of a science fiction character named Morgan. He finds it easier to explain his feelings of detachment through the fictionalized concept of being an alien on another planet. At first I actually found this to be off-putting. But it works. And his feet finally do find the ground. The point that I found to be the most telling about him and about the raison d'etre of the plot came about near the end as Antonio spoke with his employer about the duties of a chauffeur. Knowing when to speak was the number one ability. But secondly Antonio mentioned that in difficult situations he should find a way out. "There's always a solution" he concluded. That gave me his personality. He focuses on fixing. That is the direction he moves in.I enjoyed the way the story was told. There were times that the camera would follow someone outside the story, and we would notice that Antonio watched life seemingly from actual interest. If we were to project what Antonio might do when he "grows up" it would probably be as a writer, or a filmmaker.The acting and direction were excellent. The script was real, and spare. These seemed like real people. One of the reviews here criticizes the ending as though it didn't follow the course we expected. I can see why a viewer might feel this way. But endings can be beginnings. It does seem that the term "realism" implies a less than happy ending. With the huge popularity of dystopian prognostications in film I can understand why most people prefer a jaded POV.I cannot think of a film that supposes the future as an extension of the things that work well in society.

Is there a real science fiction story, about Morgan, the earthling? I was unable to see the titles of the science fiction books being read in the movie. Antonio is a "goody-goody two-shoes" whose mother dressed him in a coat and tie, since he was little. In his escape to Rome, and his accidental encounter with Lisa, he lets himself veer off course, into alien territory: he lets himself get out of his comfortable character, in pursuit of Maria, Lisa's mother. The kind understanding and advice of his employer tells the story that this is a very old tale of a man's being enamored of a woman who is not for him.

how could you evaluate the suggestion to enjoy the vision of a movie like this, winning the awards for best actors in Venice Festival(both male LoCascio and female Ceccarelli) but also with some Italian pro critics defining it a half delusion? My opinion is the pro had seen another movie, there was a mistake during their private vision, otherwise there is no explanation. This movie is pure poetry, I've seen it twice, at cinema and at home, and always my feeling was comparable with the state of grace that vision of masterpieces give me. The story is about a woman(with a young daughter) and a man, their normal life, aspiring just a bit of happiness, a human contact in a world in which sometimes we fell alien(a constant recall in this movie). The plot is complete, practically perfect. Enjoy it the more when you need a gentle fondling, we are not alone.

Despite being highly criticised by movie critics at Venice Festival, it's a great movie. True and touching. Sandra Ceccarelli is only wonderful, as Silvio Orlando in a minor role.If you have a chance, give it a look!.
