    resilience of the human spirit

    The Main actor was good, He exploration of memory, identity, and the resilience of the human spirit feels somewhat superficial, lacking in-depth introspection and examination. The emotional weight of losing touch with reality could have been further emphasized to create a more profound and resonant narrative.

    The performances in "Golia" are heartfelt, but at times, the characters feel underdeveloped, leaving the audience longing for more depth and complexity. Pietro De Silva was my favorite among them. Thought-provoking themes and portrays the struggles of its characters with sincerity and greatness.

    Why this movie is getting a good rating? A critical aspect

    "Golia" is a touching film that explores the struggles of Golia, a former rugby champion with dementia, and Alessandro, a paraplegic ex-professor. The story revolves around Golia's daily awakening, believing he is still with his team, only to confront the reality of residing in a nursing home, isolated from his family. Alessandro, driven by a final ambition, aims to defy the notion that their illnesses define their social worth by liberating Golia and reuniting him with his loved ones.

    The film delves into themes of memory, identity, and the resilience of the human spirit. It skillfully portrays the emotional weight of losing touch with reality and the transformative power of compassion in transcending physical limitations.

    It's good, but it can be be better

    The cinematography of gol!a effectively captures the contrasting emotions of confinement and longing, but there are missed opportunities to fully explore the visual potential of the story.

    While the film could successfully addresses societal biases and challenges the dismissal of individuals based on their conditions, the plot could have delved deeper into the complexities of their struggles. Additionally, certain narrative elements felt predictable, diminishing the potential impact of certain scenes. The performances of actors are good, but it can be better and go on go with the flow, >>>>>>

    The actors' performances are outstanding!!!!

    The film's strength lies in its exploration of themes such as memory, identity, and the human spirit. Through Golia's struggle with dementia, the narrative sheds light on the emotional toll of losing touch with one's own reality. Alessandro's determination to break Golia out of the nursing home showcases the power of compassion and the potential for human connection to transcend physical limitations.

    The performances are outstanding, with the actors immersing themselves in their roles and delivering heartfelt portrayals. While the film tackles heavy subject matter, it also offers moments of tenderness and lightness, providing a well-rounded viewing experience. It prompts reflection on how society can better support and uplift individuals facing similar challenges.
