Building happiness La Dolce Villa

Eric, who lost his wife, worked hard alone in the United States; his only daughter fell in love with a villa worth "one euro" in Italy. His loving father flew to Tuscany to stop the sale of the property. Unexpectedly, the father fell in love with the beautiful local mayor. The shabby house looked its most beautiful after careful decoration, and everyone was happy.

Although I could predict the ending after watching it for five minutes, I was still very happy to finish the movie because it was so beautifully filmed!

🧡💚 Highlight 1: Both the male and female protagonists are extremely good-looking. The female protagonist looks a bit like Sha Lianna, but more beautiful.

🌊🌊 Highlight 2: The scenery of Tuscany is also very charming, whether it is the buildings, hillsides, or the sea, everything is beautiful.

No wonder the three sisters Antonia sit in the hot springs and play around every day. I envy them so much. I don't even need to learn this life philosophy of "doing nothing and enjoying leisure time". I'm already familiar with it [shy R]

✨✨ Complaints: The plot is a bit clichéd, the conflict and reconciliation between father and daughter are too smooth. It would be better if the attitude towards life could be explored in depth.

It seems that the whole movie is too much for Valentine's Day.

Story summary:

American girl Olivia suddenly had an idea and used her mother's inheritance to buy a 1 euro villa in an Italian town to live there for a long time. Her father Eric was worried about his daughter and flew to Italy. There Eric met the beautiful mayor Francesca, and they planned to turn the villa into a cooking school. In the end, Eric found love, and Olivia also started a new life and made new friends in Italy.

Viewers are complaining:

I like movies produced around Valentine's Day. Although they are generally not as well-made and amazing as blockbusters, they always have a sense of warmth and love. This time, it is a warm Italian-style and family story for the whole family.

The story begins with the topic of "buying a villa for 1 euro", which is a topic that Chinese people often laugh at (the common explanation is that although European real estate is purchased at such a low price, it will cost a lot of money and effort to renovate and maintain it later). This time, the director deconstructs this theme from the perspective of Italian natives: the locals also have the problem of young people in the countryside leaving their homes to settle in big cities, and the villages and towns are experiencing population hollowing out. "Buying a villa for 1 euro" is an incentive plan to attract outsiders to invest and settle locally. This financial management is reasonable with the blessing of handsome men and beautiful women.

On the other hand, in the movie, the sun shines on the green fields, the mountains in the distance are undulating, and the scattered town buildings form a beautiful picture. The street cafes and stalls with fresh fruits and vegetables allow viewers to feel the comfort and beauty of Italian rural life. Moreover, the lifestyle of Italian towns, such as the integration of the concept of "Dolce far niente" (enjoy leisure), a group of old ladies chatting by the fountain in their spare time, and people from all directions coming to help when one person in the town is in trouble, are particularly warm in the context of chattering Italian. The outstanding performances of the male and female protagonists, Scott Foley (who interprets Eric's caution, restraint and gradual changes in Italian life very naturally) and Violante Placido (who plays the enthusiastic and generous mayor Francesca, her performance adds a lot of warmth to the film) The chemical reaction between the two also adds a lot of color to this emotional line.

All in all, this film can provide a pleasant viewing experience for those who want to find a moment of peace and warmth in their busy lives. The warm emotions and beautiful scenery it shows are still worth appreciating and feeling in your spare time.

The movie "The Happiness That Can Be Built" If you still believe that I don't have high requirements for love movies. As long as it doesn't use the clichéd formula of love at first sight or moths flying into a flame, I won't be particularly picky. I prefer to think that love is a choice, not something that is forced. The title of "The Happiness That Can Be Built" is a bit tongue-twisting. The original name should be Italian, so I don't know the exact translation. "The Happiness That Can Be Built" tells the story of middle-aged people's love. The characters are very pure. The male protagonist is successful in his career, rational and gentle, and the female protagonist is reckless and beautiful. The whole story is also very simple, without complicated social relationships and sharp opposing emotions. The "Build" in the title probably refers to the main line of the story, renovating the house. Advantages: The pace is slow and worth savoring. If you are still willing to believe in the beauty of love, it is indeed beautiful. Disadvantages: Maybe middle-aged people don't understand romance. There are not many famous scenes in the whole movie that can leave a deep memory.

I have seen Italy's one-euro housing policy in travel films, but it seemed that they were all small, shabby apartments, not the large single-family villas in the movies. Perhaps the movies are too idealistic and romanticized.

Moreover, when I first saw the poster and the plot summary, I thought it was a story about a father and daughter renovating a villa together and restoring their family relationship. However, it turned out that the main plot was the father's twilight love with the female mayor, and the daughter became a foil.

In the end, the mayor and the heroine went to chase the hero, but she only saw the train leaving. However, I knew there would definitely be a reversal and the hero would definitely be waiting for the heroine by the side, and sure enough.

If this ending was made by East Asian countries such as China, Japan and South Korea, it would most likely be a sad and tragic ending, with the hero leaving sadly and the heroine watching him go away with resentment, and they would go their separate ways from then on, separated by life and death. Hahaha

But as long as it is filmed by Americans, there will definitely be a twist, the male lead will definitely pop up suddenly from the side, and it will definitely be a happy ending.

When Americans make movies, it's a tragedy only if someone dies, otherwise it's a happy ending. Hahahaha

Americans have never suffered and have no sense of tragedy, so Americans always win. Hahahaha

I have an obsession with houses. Maybe it's because I made my fortune by speculating in real estate. I collect houses like collecting stamps. I decorate them according to my own style. Although some of them are anti-human designs, I would rather live in them uncomfortably than not. I don't listen to advice. I am probably obsessed. Each of my houses has a different story, but this drama reminds me of the DIY self-built house in Hainan ten years ago. Strictly speaking, the self-built floor is not a villa. It can only be said that it has another floor on the original floor. But it is the only house that can touch the ground. It even has an attic. It is my favorite attic, a soul-like attic. When I think of this, I don't regret it so much. I didn't choose Haikou, Sanya and other big cities. I chose to live in the village. In fact, I rejected it in my heart. Although I like the name of the village very much, it is a village after all... Oh, I don't mean to discriminate.

For safety reasons, I originally planned to build only one layer, but by chance, and with the help of exchanging what I had with the locals, I added another layer. Someone advised me that I could actually build three layers, but I refused anyway. In the first episode, the heroine liked the backyard and the sheep very much, but I really didn't like my yard. There were all kinds of ants and mosquitoes. What's worse, there was a tree with a beehive. It was the first time I saw a beehive in my life! I didn't even dare to get close to it to take a picture. Although I can find someone to clear it away, I decided to leave the beehive. One day when I am brave enough, I must get close to take a closer look. After all, it is my beehive.

For the stairs, I chose spiral round steps that don't take up space. Considering that it might get moldy and not often taken care of in Hainan, I didn't install doors, cabinets or tables, and minimized the furniture. Many places were left blank. I was a little reluctant because when I watched "The Grudge" in my childhood, I wanted to copy the house in the Grudge. Yes, I have been thinking about houses since I was very young. I must live in a house like the Grudge, with a boy who can turn into a cat and a big sister in a white dress and long black hair. But when I really had to decorate it, I did think of the Grudge, but the reality was not right. There is a return of the south wind in the south, the air is humid, and there are termites. You can often see geckos. Of course, geckos are very cute. I like geckos, but I don't like Japanese-style decoration. I can only give up my childhood ideals and accept reality. I live alone in such a big house. I really want to have a pet, but I have to leave the island and come back to work. I will spend more time away from Hainan. Who will take care of the pet? Don't have one. Fortunately, I can occasionally encounter snakes. I like snakes very much. Snakes, you can't encounter them in my hometown. But there is a sheep in the play. Sheep are too common in my hometown. I'm tired of eating sheep.
