#mine vaganti

[siamoduebracciaconuncuore0]

Ci sono persone che non smetteranno mai di piacersi anche se non potranno mai viversi accanto. Sono mine vaganti, vulcani che sembrano spenti e poi esplodono ancora, senza preavviso. Ci sono persone destinate a incontrarsi, a continuare a pensarsi per sempre ma non destinate a stare insieme.

Massimo Bisotti - Un anno per un giorno

Non farti mai dire dagli altri chi devi amare e chi devi odiare. Sbaglia sempre per conto tuo. Tommaso, se uno fa sempre quello che gli chiedono gli altri non vale la pena di vivere.

Mine vaganti / Loose Cannons (2010)

Director: Ferzan Özpetek

Stars: Riccardo Scamarcio, Nicole Grimaudo, Alessandro Preziosi...

Language: Italian

Length: 1h 50m

Tommaso is the youngest son of the Cantones, a large, traditional southern Italian family operating a pasta-making business since the 1960s. On a trip home from Rome, where he studies literature and lives with his boyfriend, Tommaso decides to tell his parents the truth about himself. But when he is finally ready to come out in front of the entire family, his older brother Antonio ruins his plans.

When I was reading the plot summary for this movie, I realized I already watched the exact same movie before, only the remade Brazilian version of it from 2021 (which I didn’t know at the time, of course xD), so when I started watching it, I already knew what to expect plot-wise, at least in general, and I guess there weren’t many differences in that department. I don’t remember much details from the remade version, but it seems to me that the original Italian version brings more emphasis on the character of the grandmother and her side story if I were to compare the two versions. Everything else was pretty similar IMO, and if you’ve seen some other works of Özpetek, you can recognize familiar characteristics in this movie, too - there’s the mixing of dramatic and comedic elements, the portrayal of life as unexpected and chaotic with sudden changes and revelations, focus on families (be they chosen or biological), the slow pace and so on.

What I didn’t mention before when watching Özpetek’s movies that only now came to me was that this sentimental atmosphere that he creates, combined with slow-paced dynamics and occasional melodramatic lines on the voice-over somehow reminds me of soap operas. Half a year ago I didn’t even know about this director and now I ended up getting quite familiar with his work and watching several of his movies/TV shows (three for now). There’s one more I’d definitely like to see, but it’s been kinda hard to find it, though I’ll keep searching and if I watch it, I’ll be sure to write about it.

Rating: 3/5

Also I think about the phrase “da qualche parte ho letto che la metà degli italiani è bisessuale” almost daily for some reason

" La mina vagante se n'è andata. Così mi chiamavate, pensando che non vi sentissi. Ma le mine vaganti servono a portare il disordine, a prendere le cose e a metterle in posti dove nessuno voleva farcele stare, a scombinare tutto, a cambiare piani."

- Sbaglia sempre per conto tuo.

- È cosi che fanno i signori?

- No. i signori non c’entrano.

- Fanno cosi le persone che vogliono essere felici.
