This week's best film "Mother's Gift" has won Italy's highest film award, the Young David Award at the 66th Italian David Awards and two nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, as well as two nominations at the 75th Italian David Awards Two nominations for the Italian Film Silver Ribbon Awards. The film was praised by overseas audiences as "Tears on Mother's Day" for its shocking female emotional power and unique sisterly mother-daughter setting.
Adapted from real events
The film "Mother's Gift" is adapted from a true story, in which the prototype of the mother is an Italian named Alyssa.
The husband of Alyssa, the prototype of the film's character, personally participated in the screenwriting, hoping to convey the power of maternal love through this extraordinary story.
On August 21, 2016, Alyssa's daughter was born, and on the same day she was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. The doctor told her that she only had one year left to live. For Alyssa, what made her most reluctant to leave was her daughter who had just come to this world. In order to let her daughter still feel maternal love when she is not accompanied by her mother, she decided to choose birthday gifts for her daughter from 1 to 18 years old, including bicycles, dolls, and swimming cards. Each gift was carefully selected according to her daughter's age. Among them, the 18-year-old’s adult gift was particularly special. It was actually a globe covered with sticky notes. Each sticky note represented every city she wanted her daughter to go to. When all the gifts were ready, Alyssa’s condition worsened. Left this world forever.
Italian movies
The characteristics of Italian movies come from a film movement in Italy in the 1940s - the neorealism movement. In this movement, Italian filmmakers turned their lenses towards ordinary people in order to resist the singing and dancing on the Hollywood screen. Turning to everyday emotions. Today we can still see the legacy of this idea in Italian cinema.
In 2023, the movie "There's Tomorrow", a film about women's struggle, surpassed the box office of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" in Italy, becoming the Italian movie box office champion in 2023.
The Italian film "I Am the Captain" tells a story about immigration and was shortlisted for the 2024 Academy Awards for Best International Film.
There is also the 2022 Italian film "Water and Fennel", which shows the life story of a dancer who is over seventy years old.
