Gabriel's Inferno: Part Three

I highly recommend this book to movie adaption. The fact that a film company actually bothers to make the movies exactly like the loved books, it deserves a huge 20 out of 10. And another thing that they want to show case the whole book in different part is even better. A massive hat tip to the the actors and film crew you all rock BIG time. Keep up the awesome work.

Every hell of Gabriel is better than the last but this one ... there is everything in this one. We discover the painful past of our two favorite characters. We discover new characters not very nice and we have even more empathy for Julia and Gabriel. We hear words we expected. The actors reveal to us new emotions, new feelings. And then ... we travel ... we discover Italy and its incredible places of romanticism ... and we attend the 20 most beautiful last minute of a film that we have ever seen. What I liked about the first two films is that the director took all her time to tell us this beautiful love story. And yet the films are not slow, everything is linked very quickly and I find that no scene is useless in this trilogy. Nothing sticks out. And since the first two films lay the foundations for us, show us the characters and their stories, we feel involved and we have the time to get attached to them. So when the last 20 minutes roll in, it's the culmination of whatever they've been able to overcome. This scene is fair, incredible. Just look at it, it's all there but it would have the same power if they had been covered with a sheet. It is not their body that interests us but the feelings they transmit to us. I wouldn't change absolutely nothing in this scene, eh, but I'm just saying that the actors, who are at their peak, reveal themselves even more in this scene. The way it's been filmed and acted out and then you know a lot of love scenes, I mean love scenes, which take their time, which go slowly and where you see the beginning, the middle and the end. .. remember which romantic movies you like best? , Ghost, Titanic, Pretty woman, Dirty dancing ... they all have love scenes ... we don't want voyeurism but these scenes, even if they are beautiful, only have snippets of them, whereas here, we have the whole process. We see everything, we see nothing, which is even more sensual. In short, everything is magic in this scene. We feel this alchemy between the actors ... there is a soul in this trilogy. So of course, the characters have dialogue that you never hear in life, but the point is to entertain us. Transport yourself by looking at them and forget everything for a moment. In short, it's a real success from start to finish.

Stumble upon these movies online and during lockdowns why not watch a romantic trilogy. Lead actor is quite a handsome Devil. And the leading lady was charming. But I have to ask what's the deal with these romance stories where the guys are model like handsome but the females must be awkward plain Jane virgins. They did that with those Twilight movies as well. Romance movies don't work if the female is also model handsome or it doesn't work if the guy is short and frumpy and the female is super hot. I couldn't believe the dialogue... it reminded me of dime store romance paperback Harlequin novels of bygone days.

These movies have a similarity to Fifty Shades of Grey so much that it's almost a blatant copy. The main difference is with some of the character nuances between Gabriel in these movies, and Christian in Fifty Shades. But otherwise they are basically the same thing. Gabriel starts in the first movie as a stern and aggressive person. However, he does undergo a transformation and by the third film he's pretty much a softie. In fact, he's so accommodating to Julia that it's almost overdone - you can even start to question the strength of his character. Christian Grey, on the other had, remains more principled and in those films the female winds up being more accommodating to him, and even embraces his lifestyle at some point. The Fifty Shades movies are higher budget and there is a greater sense of wealth and privilege. But the Dante/Gabriel movies are thematically similar to such an extent that you would probably like them if you are a fan of this genre. I think this third movie in the series is better than the second - in fact, I think the second one could be skipped. The third is a bit more interesting because the couple travels to Italy and there is a bit more going on. But overall this is a fluff piece, it's entertaining but it isn't high caliber artistic film-making. They are mostly just working the formula here but it's watchable.

So this is the last part for the 'Gabriel's Inferno' movie, which was cut into 3 parts. As much as I love the first 2 parts, but part 3 is without a doubt the best part! Part 3 had more drama with the appearance of Julia's abusive ex boyfriend Simon, and more details about Gabriel's and Julia's pasts are revealed, part 3 is also faster paced compared to the first 2 parts because there was more going on. And it's wonderful to watch the beautiful love and relationship between Gabriel and Julia deepen and blossom even more in part 3! And the chemistry between Giulio and Melanie is absolutely perfect and phenomenal! I have seen many actors with good on-screen chemistry, but undoubtedly Giulio & Melanie have the BEST chemistry I have ever seen by far both on-screen and in real-life! I loved every minute of part 3, but all their scenes in beautiful Florence are my favourites. Many people compare this to '50 shades of grey' and some even accuse Gabriel's Inferno of being a 50 shades "copy", but the truth is the original Gabriel's Inferno book that these movies are based on was actually released BEFORE 50 shades, so this accusation is false. And Gabriel's Inferno is very different to 50 shades, while 50 shades is mostly about sex and lust & S&M, Gabriel's Inferno is a slow-burn romance focusing more on the emotional aspects of love & romance and building deeper more meaningful relationships between the characters. And Gabriel is very different to Christian, while Christian loves S&M & treats women like mere sex objects, Gabriel as a lover is far more gentle and loving and he treats the woman he loves with respect & dignity, he doesn't abuse Julia, instead he showers her with real love & affection and treats her like a princess. And the storylines are completely different, GI is about 2 broken people with traumatic pasts who fall in love, then lost each other then found each other again 6 years later when they become professor & student. The first 2 books in the GI series focuses on their forbidden lovestory while they try to hide their relationship from the university. So I don't understand why people would think this is a "copy" of 50 Shades when they are both so different in terms of characters & storylines. Anyone comparing this to 50 shades clearly don't know the difference between love and lust, I think many people's idea of "romance" nowadays is just raunchy sex, but love & romance is so much more than just sex, movies like 50 shades & 365 days glorify sex & are full of raunchy meaningless sex & forcing women into abusive relationships, that's not "love", it's just lust & abuse. The Gabriel's Inferno series has always been different, it's about REAL love, focusing more on the emotional connection & love between 2 people, it takes it's time to develop the characters & the relationships hence it's slower-paced, but this means Gabriel's Inferno focuses on creating deep & meaningful relationships and real passion based on true love, not meaningless raunchy sex. Unlike 50 shades & 365 days, the Gabriel's Inferno series is a classic romance story about courtly love.

Anyway overall I think part 1 of GI was good, part 2 was better but part 3 is the best! I can't wait for the sequels 'Gabriel's Rapture' and 'Gabriel's Redemption'!
