Yes, a real one that lives in Italia and can speak Italian.
Talks a mile a minute but man, Edoardo packs a lot of intelligence into a sentence.
Mind boggling at one point. How that man's mind must race at light speed. And surprisingly, his mouth can keep up. Why he is so skinny.
A lot of layers to this movie especially if you are Italian. The poverty he was born into, super intelligent but in the end works at a refinery. Some hope in the end with IT. A lot of nuance if you are Italian and know the history, social stratas, social commentary of the times (and troubles).
A youth way too intelligent for his age trying to find the answer to the age old questions of who am I? Why am I here? And if so, what should I be doing? And well read to say the least in that pursuit.
He fell into his lot in life not by choice but by society and poverty.
Yet a happy guy and OH SO FUNNY in Italian. Real wit. There were too many scenes to talk about like that. The English captions in Netflix not bad, but you know, English is NOT a Romance language still, from reviews here his humour and wit came thru nonetheless.
Watched it on a lark (prefer English movies, TV) but not disappointed. Quite the opposite. A real gem of a movie from Italia.
