Auf alles, was uns glücklich macht

This is a movie about life.

Don't expect to feel thrills or emotional peaks when watching it. However I was on the verge of crying during most of the movie, and at the same time was similing constantly - that's life!

It's so sentimental to watch how our lives take different paths, but the emotions remain intact. How time washes away all the anger. How we make mistakes, but love is above them.

This movie is not the typical movie, but it's for sure the kind I love to watch.

10* and my first IMDb review, which I felt I needed to write, since the current rating the movie is having, is not at all reflecting its worth.

This is a film about our lives: sometimes hilarious, sometimes sad, but always real. In general, this is a film about forgiveness.

"Gli anni più belli" portraits 40 years in the life of four friends whose personal stories intersects recent history. On the steps of Lelouch "Bolero" and Scola's "C'eravamo tanto amati", which is explicitly quoted. Although the movie develops on the edge of mannerism and can be fairly accused of lacking subtlety in some of its topic scenes (as often with Muccino's work), its message is true and powerful: the best years are the ones we dare to live fully. Love is not the romantic fantasy that happens to you in Hollywood movies, it is not a commodity, but it is an ongoing practice of care, respect, forgiveness for others. Connection is the answer. All actors deliver great performances (Ramazzotti in particular). The movie is packed with quotations from Italian classics which will please movie lovers.

A story about friendship during 40 years Everybody is going his and her own way. This movie made me think about my own life. Which was in a sense also a movie with many friendships, and some people are more lucky then others. I really don t understand why this movie has a very low rating... Why? People are afraid to see a movie about feelings Don t believe them , it s well made and it makes you write a comment

No, I'm not talking about the characters of the movie (though I can't say that I didn't fall for each one of them, I did, they took me on a ride on their own personal rollercoaster), I'm talking about the story that unfolded at the end of the movie. I was just sitting there absolutely taken by the mesmerising beauty of the cinematography when a small group walked in. They set down behind me and they were eating popcorn, chitt-chatting, laughing, making comments on the plot, just living it. These kinds of noises bother me most of the time, well this time I found it cute even. I didn't turn around.

The story is perfectly round, exquisite, I cried twice. First when the exact appropriate aria came along in the exact appropriate moment, when I thought that it can't go any higher emotionally and then just before leaving the movie theatre. Dazzled by this amazing, some two hours of length of magic a man called out to me. "Excuse me miss, can you take a photo of us?" "Sure", I said, than the lights went on and I saw this small gang of people, in their 50's and the gentleman said: "we're just like them, we're friends for almost 40 years now..". I hope the pictures turned out well, since I couldn't see clearly from the tears swelling up, but I do recall that I told them how beautiful they are.

Lately I ask myself a lot why is it exactly that I love art so much, maybe because it's a mirror to life.
