The Gentlemen (2024)
Godfather UK
(7.8) There are multiple reference to the Puzio Godfather series. By the end of Ep.3 there's godfather under undertone feels fairly set in stone.
The reluctant heir to the family throne. Who's "trying to get out but they keep pulling him in"
There's a jealous fredy(o), with the passionate disdain with hands on the face scene
The guy who seems too good to be true, the "Barzini all along" and other tropes
Worth a watch if it keeps your interest, it could've been at least a 9 star if it were more serious.
I appreciate learning certain subtle details about being a duke in a family manor. Like them having their own family quote.
Spin Me Round (2022)
Spin Me Round
I enjoyed this movie because the unexpected didn't hit like plot twists they wisely transitioned from one thing to another which kept you guessing. You didn't understand how it would end. I think this is an important film for women to realise their strong and wise enough to stand on their own two feet even when temptation tries to lead them astray. That's in essence the theme, for one to not settle for someone even though their love is presented as a Ferrari but has the insides of a tour bus... pun intended. My two fav parts was when we realised we'd never see Aubrey's character again and 2nd when Alison's character fights the cliche of getting with the guy at the end like a typical Hollywood film. Overall this movie has an amazing cast and has some important tropes but a very real message and for that I think everyone needs to try to see this. Not to mention it's hilarious.
A Chiara (2021)
A Chiara
This third film by Jonas Carpignano made you feel alive and ponder real life thoughts presented in an exaggerated cinematic way. It was the fact that we were able to keep our innocence yet still act upon the un-ignorable curiosities through the eyes of Chiara, that made this movie engaging for the full 2 hrs. Because of what we saw her go through we understood why she had made the choice she did at the end. We also know why because we know what she didn't go through, in reference to being groomed like her older sister who already knew what was going down. Her not knowing enough about the family eventually pushed her away because nobody was teaching her from a younger age, perhaps they wanted her to learn on her own. Perhaps her sister learned on her own but that's theoretical. Perhaps they even hoped she'd get out and be different and that's why they kept her in the dark.
She knew she was her only way out and it simply took stepping into that other world to find out it wasn't for her. Her father even told her as well that she should've stayed with the cops which was ironic. I really like this film because the real life issues are in the fabric, picking the people you want around you, seeing how the people around you could affect your life,dealing with having the self courage to choose what's right for you even though it may hurt the people around you, this film is very deep if you can see through the murky waters of Gioia Tauro through the eyes of the clandestine aura that fulfills Calabria. Carpignano also snapped on a bunch of close ups that added a great level dramatization to the characters and feeling of the film overall similar to A Ciambra. This is a must watch.
