    The line that Grandma said towards the end it was drove home that this felt like a gay metaphor even though that wasn’t the creators intention.

      There's so many little moments like this. Leaving the ocean plays just like coming out, 'the deep' is like every correctional facility or attempt at sexuality conversion a non-straight person has ever heard of, Giulia is the embodiment of every cool ally, and as you say that line near the end - it doesn't sugar-coat the difficult reality ahead but offers bittersweet consolation that there is definitely acceptance out there. Intentional or not, it reads this way wonderfully.

      The whole movie is a metaphor not only for gay people but any group of people who felt that way. Sea monsters themselves are a metaphor. Enrico Casarosa (director) and Andrea Warren (producer) said so in an interview. It was 100% their intention.

      I can understand the sentiment but I disagree. I'm Italian and the only italian story we got from Disney so far was"Pinocchio".After *81 years* we get another movie settled in Italy and not only I personally dislike the character design but the story is not even that deep or emotional?I mean...just 4 years ago we got that moving masterpiece that is"Coco"😭💘and now we Italians get *THIS?* I'm not saying the movie is BAD,but...it's nothing that memorable or emotional...it's really nothing special.😕We didn't need _Pixar_ to make such a movie,except for the great CGI.Very disappointed.X-( They didn't even take the chance to make a gay lovestory,which at least would have make the movie memorable for THAT... no...they had to officially state that Luca and Alberto are just friends.Great.😓So there's not even THAT to make your movie somehow"special"or memorable. My compliments. Great move,amico!👏

However, just because it’s not overly deep, still doesn’t mean it won’t be remembered or appreciated. I adore this movie, and probably still will for years to come.

      I know the intention was for them to be platonic, which is understandable because it was based off of somebody else’s life. However, given the audience reaction, reception, and how the story panned out to be, I think it would be a great opportunity to take the story and create a sequel in which Luca and Alberto and all together. It will be really powerful and sit in naturally with how the story was already progressing. Guilia can still be an ally and a sisterly influence on them!

  • @ma.2089
    @ma.2089 3 года назад +996

    Also, u r not the only person who read the relationship as romantic coded. The director has said he wanted it to be completely platonic between all of them, just a child adventure before the complications of girlfriends and boyfriends.
    That said, he was totally ok with ppl interpreting it that way as well. And since the movie is about acceptance, it would make sense that ppl could especially connect to it. Especially with the pair of women also coming out as sea monsters as well at the end lol

    Here's one more detail to confirm the gay/BL metaphor in the film: The song playing over the end credits is "
    Città vuota" by Mina. The lyrics are about two lovers who long to see each other again... "Don't you feel that our love is not over yet?
    / Come back to me, my love, / And the city will not be empty any more." This is what they chose to play over the ending, the final impression! Everything is implicitly stated, but the relationship between the two is as crystal clear as the beautiful animation of the sapphire blue water in the film.

    I think credit drawing suggest that Alberto got actually adopted by Gulia's dad. In a way Alberto got his happy ending. Luca and Gulia will still visit any time they can or at least each summer. Alberto will finally get over his father problem thanks to Gulia's dad. Gulia seems to come from divorced marriage. We can also say Gulia's dad got his happy ending. I think in a way he is hurting from seeing Gulia just during summer. In a way he still wanted to be a dad for longer time. Now he has Alberto as his son. Maybe he sensed that Alberto has a need for parental care so he cared about him more than even for Luca. Also his fishing work will turn better thanks to Alberto. So overal it's kinda bitter sweet ending but I like to believe that they keep in touch and visit more often and Luca and Alberto's friendship grows stronger or even turn into something more when they grow older or after school. It would be nice if they would make Luca 2.

    Luca is so heart-warming, straightforward, and so easy to watch. There's definitely no need for most of us to over analyze everything. It just plays out the way it should. Luca, Alberto, and Giulia are the golden trinity. Like there's nothing that could ever break their friendship/bond apart, and to me that's especially wholesome since we don't get to see that being executed that much in animated films these days. Anyway, great reaction Nic! I'm glad you liked it. Can't wait for more reactions to come through.

    I absolutely loved this movie, i saw so many ppl saying it was bad because it wasn't as great or "deep" as Coco or Soul, but honestly i think that's amazing, it's such a pure, innocent and fun movie, and the best thing about it: you can interpret it however you want. As a queer person this movie meant a lot to me, i saw this as a metaphor for queer ppl, especially these scenes:
    -When Alberto tells Luca he can't go to school and they'll see his "fish face": To me this remembered me of how i was afraid to show my true queer self at school.
    -When Ercole calls them "monsters" and says ppl are disgusted by them: Alberto and Luca revealing themselves is like a queer person coming out (or a queer couple), some ppl will be "disgusted" by you, but some ppl will actually see you as who you really are without judging you, just like Giulia's dad did.
    -The two old ladies revealing themselves (this doesn't need an explanation)
    -"Some people, they'll never accept him, but some will and he seems to know how to find the good ones": This also doesn't really need an explanation, but it was super inspirational to me and made me cry a lot.
    Anyway, this movie is just beautiful.

    @ReallyBritishOne 3 года назад +102

    To the homophobes in the comments who've decided to try deriding anyone who reads the film as gay-coded, just get over it.
    The Lion King is effectively an interpretation of biblical stories, and Shakespeare's Hamlet. Shakespeare was inspired by writers from all over, from Montaigne and Chaucer, to Greek philosophers from millennia earlier. The point of this? That all forms of media, written/played/sung/performed/filmed/etc., are interpretations. As such, all media is always open to interpretation. So no matter how long you sit there, waxing lyrical about what is canonical, or what the author or director of a particular piece of work has endorsed, neither you nor they can stop interpretation - it underpins all creative work.
    Incidentally the creator of Luca gets this. Whilst there was nothing in his interpretation of the story he's told that was intended to be read as gay, he accepts that this is an entirely welcome reading of his work - because that's what fiction does. It interprets, and it inspires. It is surely only a good thing that people are able to relate to a film or associate with its themes, especially if those people are typically poorly or under-represented. It makes absolutely no difference to anyone else if someone has interpreted the film in such a way.
    PS Fantastic reaction btw, I love to see someone who notices everything from character beats, to the score and the animation - that's proper immersion in film

There's also the song choices the themes there's a LOT but its whatever, people will believe what they want and especially if they don't know much about the queer experience, that also can be a factor.

    I think the main reason why people get confused with the "love triangle" and "gay undertones" is that people are not used anymore to see actual platonic love in friendship. US shows and movies go a great lenght to highlight the differences between friendship and love although when you actually dive down deep into your own feelings you might realize that the love for your partner, for your firends, or for your family are not so different after all.
    I really enjoy that the message about acceptance ends up rather generalistic where other movies try to expand their scope with examples which only ends up limiting the interpretation to the examples.

    I’m gonna see this as a lgbt film because there’s hardly any sweet lgbt films out there, and none Disney/Pixar and as I’m Italian it just hits extra hard in my lesbian heart and if people are mad about me seeing it that way then tough shit

    36:12 that whole scene just hurts but your reaction to that double betrayal is both perfect and heart breaking at the same time.
    I always cry at the train scene. Especially when Alberto says how Luca saved him from the island so he'll be okay. Because you know he's right. He's got a home and people looking out for him and Luca's family even comes to visit and the end credits show how he's been well accepted by the town. He really is going to be okay.
    And it's a happy cry really because this is one of those stories where if the adventure hadn't happened, everyone would be worse off than they are because of it. So it not only makes you happy to watch but also feel happy for everyone involved (well except Ercole) because they're all so much better off and the family is even closer because of it. ❤

    This is the third movie that's made me ugly cry in my life. I really thought they were going to stay together.

    I see them as the ultimate bromance.

    Apparently the thing Alberto says roughly translates to "Nice to meet you, my name is Twisty Trombone."
