The beautiful behind-the-scenes production of loving you

Love you is poetic and beautiful

Italian people’s concept of love is free and passionate. The word “romantic” represents the concept of Italian love. Because in this country where humanism and the Renaissance began, as early as the end of the 14th century and the beginning of the 15th century, people fought for the liberation of human nature in order to get rid of the mysticism and asceticism that annihilated human nature. While boasting about human creativity, the humanist movement also praises people's active pursuit of real life, and praises people's spirit of exploration and desire for knowledge. The outstanding humanist poet and writer Boccaccio once pointed out: "Women are much more beautiful than angels in heaven." This means that women in real life are more important than gods who can only be admired but cannot be touched.

The plot of the film is not only lyrical but also reflects the humor of Italian life. In a beautiful dream, a traffic policeman is used as an interlude to transform the dream bride into a kangaroo. Even after the happy ending, he still teases the hero for forgetting the parking space. This is just like Italy's famous coffee culture. Even after a busy day, people still don't forget to gather in the coffee bar to toast, talk and laugh and enjoy a happy time. Italy understands that joy can express happiness, and joy can express sadness.

The background environment of the story was not filmed in a set-up studio. In Italy, all buildings have a history of a hundred years, and whether they are housing or commercial corridors, they are constantly being renovated. The film brings the authentic "Italian" customs to the audience, not only in the general environment, but also in the details. The male protagonist speaks at a bullet-like speed and has rich body movements, even putting money into the coffee tray when checking out in the cafe, etc. These are Italian social customs.

She was always in his dreams, wearing a wedding dress and expressing her feelings in poetry. His passion creates the miracle of love, and the passion of Italians creates this fiery country. Passion can create everything. This is Italy.

Italian Chaplin

Speaking of the famous Italian comedian, director and screenwriter Roberto Benigni, probably everyone is well-known for his masterpiece "Life is Beautiful". The film originated from stories told by his father during his childhood. Bernini used the optimism and humor of Italian nature, and used Chaplin-style exaggeration and absurd body language to give the film a comedic effect of joy in hardship. That year, the film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actor and Best Music, as well as 28 international awards including the Cannes Grand Jury Prize. When it was released at the Cannes Film Festival, the audience stood up and applauded for 12 minutes. Bernini thus became a dark horse in the international film industry and began to attract the attention of the world.

On October 27, 1952, Roberto Bernini was born in a small village near Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy. His father was a farmer who worked as a carpenter and bricklayer. During World War II, he was imprisoned in a concentration camp by the Nazis for two years. His mother was a textile inspector. Bernini went to Florence Theological Seminary to study when he was a teenager. His ideal at that time was to become a priest. Later, a flood destroyed the school. Bernini, who was out of school, entered an accounting school. At the age of 20, Bernini was spotted by a Roman director and began his career in the theater.

Benigni appeared on the TV screen and became a well-known Italian comedy star with his unconventional humorous performance in the TV series "The Other Sunday". In 1976, Bernini made his debut in the film industry, starring in Costa Gavas' "La Femme", Marco Ferreri's "Asylum" and Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Light of Women".

Poet VS War

When talking about the intention of shooting this film, Bernini said that the film was completely born out of a strong desire. If a film is not born out of a precise desire, event, but a real wish, then this film must have a poetic beauty. In cruel war areas, nightmares may happen at any time, and the love that appears at this time is also intertwined with laughter and tears, making it particularly strong and great. In the film, Attilio's love is crazy. He has long put life and death aside and will sacrifice everything to save the life of his lover. It is this true and pure love that the film is about.

Just like the strong contrast formed by the title of the film, the two important elements contained in the film, poetry and war, are also completely opposite. Poetry is the carrier of elegance and the embodiment of human beauty; while war is a tool of destruction and a symbol of human crudeness. Bernini said that in the section where Attilio is at the US military checkpoint, the poet and the sentry are close at hand, just like war and poetry passing by each other, and neither one can understand the other. The film also has an anti-war connotation.

The reason why Benigni decided to ask Jean Reno to join the film is very simple. An Italian TV program said that Jean Reno frankly expressed his willingness to cooperate with Benigni, and Benigni was also very familiar with Jean Reno's style. screen image.

As a veteran actor who often appears in action movies, playing a poet should be tempting and challenging enough, so Jean Reno and Bernini hit it off during the meeting.

Benigni admitted that there is no unique and novel idea behind this new work, but that it just praises love like "A Happy Legend": Love is the most powerful and subversive force in the world! He said: "I have always wanted to make a movie like "Love You is Beautiful", a love movie about love as pure as snow and persistence for love. In the movie, the male protagonist is willing to go through fire and water for love, and even sacrifice his precious life. life.
