When I first watched this I thought that he was a terrible guy - partly because he reminded me of my ex boyfriend. But watching it back again he wasn't. She prioritised her house, her friends and her interests and then expected him to be there when she was ready. She was hurt (understandably) but at least he tried to explain his thoughts and feelings and did treat her with respect. Unfortunately poor timing and circumstance was the issue here. Great film though! Showcases some of the beauty of Italy. Peace to you all xxx
Yes, you are so right. But sadly there showed very typical reason of cheating. More correctly is giving up on the relationship. And lots of Italian guys like him. And many Americans ladies are like her. Nobody is bad. Just difference in culture and how we were raised.
I think so too. I kind of found her behavior immature, typical of Americans. Sometimes, life just doesn’t go the way you plan it, and her pouting when she doesn’t get the man she’s dreaming of, even though she’s in Tuscany, has a beautiful home is unattractive, and childish. But I do understand her sentiments.
@@namyarasree At that moment of disappointment it seems like a facile bromide to say. But Marcello is actually a sincere guy, with a heart of gold. Ahh... their children would have been gorgeous.
What a beautiful movie! Interesting and deep storyline, great acting. Dine Lane was brilliant! Sandra Oh was great as well. I recommend this film to everyone!!!
I like to watch the last scene: Francesca (Diane Lane) standing barefoot in her house as the spigot flows freely. Everything came as she had hoped, and then some. Her beautiful smile of gratitude and joy -- a gorgeous face. Cut to black. Beautiful music for the credits.
A beautiful movie, about love, and that wonderful and magic country called...Italy....! Really love that country I travelled through severy times. I like to see that lovely blond woman acting, in the fountain, a part of the movie "La dolce vita", and talking about "Li notte di Cabiria"...Fellini...! Mi piacce Italia.!
This is why being single is better... To me, if it ends in failure, then it was NOT worth it. It's NOT better to have loved and lost. Better focus on REAL LOVE: Career, pets, hobbies, blood family, friends, travel, etc. This is where REAL, LONG LASTING BLISS COMES FROM.
LOOK AT THAT MAN. Did she really think she could leave him alone for that long? You couldn't leave a man like that alone even for a day. Somebody will snap him up. She thought she had him but guess what? NOPE. The only thing she could do was walk away with her head held high and remember - LOVE WAITS FOR NOBODY. He wanted more but her head was somewhere else. So she lost. Like he said - what did you expect??????
steph abo He should've waited a bit longer. Wouldn't have killed him. Like I said, love is okay. It's not the best thing in the world. A good career and family/friends are.
3333sweetie So tell me - how long was a man THAT FINE supposed to wait? Didn't he say it had been months? Men like THAT need attention. An ugly man? She could have taken her own sweet time coming to him and he would have been there but HIM?? Um, NO. YES, I agree the way he dumped her was not the absolute best way he should have handled it. But the truth hurts. He was being honest with her the best way he knew how and it hurt. But she had so much going on and he tried to get together with her but she just had more important things to do. So she lost. It was not meant to me. He was right - these things must happen naturally and he saw it was not coming together as it should have. So he moved on to someone who felt he was worth the effort. End of story.
steph abo Well, if you really love someone, you will wait. Pus, she was helping someone in need, so she had a good reason. So what if he was fine? he's gonna age and be an old bag of wrinkles one day. Having good looks doesn't make it a right to just be selfish and dump someone like that
3333sweetie No, it doesn't. The fact of the matter is - she let love slip through her fingers, whether he is good looking, average or ugly, thinking it would wait until SHE was ready. LOVE waits on no one. He told her there was more there for him and he tried but she wasn't there. They could never meet up. So good looking, average or ugly - was he just supposed to wait indefinitely? Wondering if she would ever return? Life moves on and he did just that. Was his world supposed to stop because she wasn't putting any effort into seeing him? Yes, she had a friend in need supposedly but he needed her attention also. No man good-looking, average or ugly wants to be put on the back burner. Do you remember what he told her on the beach? "If you smash into something good you should hold onto it until it's time to let go." He was telling her if there ever came a time where he would have to let go HE COULD. That was her cue right there to hear him but she didn't detect the hidden meaning. So don't blame him for moving on. And THAT MAN would NEVER be an old bag of wrinkles. He would age like FINE WINE. Have you seen the actor that played Marcello? GORGEOUS AT 42. At 62? I'll bet he even looks better. Not all men age badly.
Honestly I wasn't surprised that he cheated on her. Not because of her but because of him. From day one, he said "you are too late, I've already found someone else" therefore, he cheated on that woman to be with Frances whom he has known only a day before sleeping with her. Sure he wanted have a relantionship with her after that, but she should have been aware of the fact that he is a player. And he blames HER for making him sleep with someone else because he couldn't wait and couldn't reveal it to Frances.
BS. Nobody said he was in a relationship. "I found someone else" doesn't mean "I'm in a monogamous relationship". Maybe it was a flirt, maybe a ONS who made him interested, whatever. Sleeping with someone doesn't mean monogamy. Therefore, there's no evidence he cheated on anybody.
I own a copy of this movie. Beautifully shot and the quality of the film is wonder. I own the book too, it’s different then movie and has food recipes. Both are entertaining.
You meet people in your life that captured your heart. But you don’t end up together. Then years down the road, you find yourself thinking about them and wondering what life would be like if you had end up with them. Go buy that plane ticket and visit them if you get the chance.
No man THAT FINE waits. Look, she put her friend before him and one of them was going to feel neglected. She chose to let HIM feel neglected and what did she expect? LOOK AT THAT MAN. He was just supposed to wait? Twiddle his thumbs? Just wait for her. Shit. She rolled the dice and blew it.
I agree. Her head was in the clouds and in her house and in her friends and he was there for her to take but she missed a grand opportunity. He told her he wanted more to happen between them but he couldn't make it happen all by himself. So he had to let it go. She could have had him if she wanted him but she lost by her own fault. Love does not come to you. So very true.
Yoli E Maybe love exists but maybe it does not. I won't give you false positivity and false hope and tell you to not give up like most will tell you just to make you feel better and nor will I tell you there's someone for everyone when I know it's NOT TRUE. MANY people go to their graves without anyone, no matter how hard they tried to find someone. If it's meant to be, it'll happen. If not, then you have to learn to enjoy being single. IF there was someone for everyone, then EVERY serial killer or serial rapist would have a mate, but that is not so. Plus, someone for everyone goes against science and the concept of population control The world would be overpopulated if there was someone for everyone. And who knows if love even exists? You an't rely on boyfriends/spouses to make you happy or comfortable. You need to have that on your own. I'll tell you this: There is someone for SOME PEOPLE, BUT NOT FOR EVERYONE. People are selfish at heart, and relationships often lose their novelty after a lot of time together, so the best thing is to try to find happiness in yourself, friends, blood family and hobbies, pets, reading, career and travel. Do that, and life will NEVER feel incomplete. People give relationships way too much credit. Our divorce rates are disgusting, and rarely do people marry for love anyhow. it's overrated. It's NOT BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST. Just be happy in yourself and your life and heck with romantic relationships If you find someone, fine, if not, don't worry There are far worse things in life than not finding love.
What would cause one to feel special? Trying to catch a beautiful butterfly in a net or have that beautiful butterfly come to you and gently land on your shoulder when you least expect it?
I think the guy is kind of serious but he thought she was not ready for a relationship because she is not always available for him. She did not fit him in her schedule. And who knows, men from other countries have opinions also about American women courtesy of Hollywood movies. Nuff said.
They were away from each other for like a week or two and he couldn’t keep his junk in his pant during that short period of time. She should consider herself lucky for not ending up with a guy like that
I wish they hadn't made Francis meet someone new. I think Hollywood gives the wrong message when they make everyone who's been hurt in love find someone and have a happy ending. It gives people the wrong message, since many people never find love. Someone for everyone isn't true at all. Why not have an ending where she actually accepted being single and enjoyed it and maybe focused on friends and family? She might not have succeeded in romantic love, but she did in other love, which is just as special, if not more.
She was ready, he was not. I adored the realtor, now he was a real man and gentleman. He looks after her, hates to see her so sad, gives her hope. Gently helps her open her eyes, as does the woman in the fountain. I always felt that house she bought was really her. Questioning her choices, some bad, some wonderful. We must learn from the bad ones, in order to make the good ones come true. One can say they are sorry for a mistake they made, but not a trust they break. Forgiving a mistake can be done, but someone who breaks their trust can be difficult to forgive, sometimes impossible.
Wonderful people came into Francesca's life. At the end of the movie they are all seated at the dinner table celebrating. And Francesca finds Ed, the man she was fated to love. We should all be so lucky to go through life with beautiful souls by our side.
ive worked in Positano and Ive never seen a man like Raoul, all the women are like the italian girl on the balacany, thin as sticks with no personality but none as beautiful as Diane Lane! He would have been lucky to have her.
So they were away from each other for like what a week maybe two? He couldn’t keep his junk in his pant during that short period of time? If that’s his behavior then she should consider herself lucky for not ending up with a guy like that.
Personally, I think Marcello just wanted sex from Francesca. Most men will never respect a woman who puts out too soon, so to speak. This is why a woman should NEVER, EVER have sex too son until he puts a ring on that finger. Romantic love has too much heartache. Hence, why romantic love is soooooo overrated. Most people can handle only the good in love, not the bad. Love hurts, it really does. Focus on friends and family, who'll love you no matter what. As a female, I'd never trust a man fully. I wouldn't ever buy any of their bull.o
this movie is ridicolous, an insult to the human intelligence, a concentration of italian stereotypes of 50 years ago! plagiarism of the Dolce vita by fellini, ahahahah
Diane Lane in this dress has been living in my brain every since this movie. Fashion and travel goals!!

ChicaPhoto, we're old and clever enough, I think, to understand without your explainations. But...thank you...!
He was an after thought to her. She has so many opportunities to meet him, call him, but she was always preoccupied with something.
I absolutely love her white dress!!!!
This movie inspired me to travel more! Just look at the views in this scene!!! :) I'm traveling there this week with my fiancee, I can't wait!! :)
careful, you might meet Marcello ;-)
I feel like what marcello is saying is very important. There is nothing to regret. It was a nice time and now it's over.
Jenn Susie, he also says : There is someone for you, Francesca.!
@@namyarasree At that moment of disappointment it seems like a facile bromide to say. But Marcello is actually a sincere guy, with a heart of gold. Ahh... their children would have been gorgeous.
What a beautiful movie! Interesting and deep storyline, great acting. Dine Lane was brilliant! Sandra Oh was great as well.
I recommend this film to everyone!!!

Woah! That actor is seriously hot! I agree, Diane Lane is so pretty!
That is the man who comes to her in the end, the beautiful butterfly who gently surprised her when she stopped trying to catch it.
Will Forever adore this movie 💕

I don't even think they were exclusive.
One of my favorite movies!!! Raul Bova is BELLO!!
I own a copy of this movie. Beautifully shot and the quality of the film is wonder. I own the book too, it’s different then movie and has food recipes. Both are entertaining.
Eaten at that restaurant..been there..Italy is amazing..the people..amazing..my fav place
What's the name of the restaurant
Diane Lane is one of the best actresses ever. In this movie she was special one - maybe her best perfomance. Raoul Bova was great man for her here
Magnolia296, Obviously you haven't seen Diane Lane in the film "Cotton Club".
You meet people in your life that captured your heart. But you don’t end up together. Then years down the road, you find yourself thinking about them and wondering what life would be like if you had end up with them. Go buy that plane ticket and visit them if you get the chance.
he couldn't wait either, they never do...>(
I am sorry think you are right
Did you expect a man LIKE THAT to wait? She was stupid. No man like that waits alone. She should have known that.
No man THAT FINE waits. Look, she put her friend before him and one of them was going to feel neglected. She chose to let HIM feel neglected and what did she expect? LOOK AT THAT MAN. He was just supposed to wait? Twiddle his thumbs? Just wait for her. Shit. She rolled the dice and blew it.
What you expect? LOOK AT THE MAN. You can't leave a man like that simmering. Somebody will come along, lift the lid and stir the pot. Guarantee it.
i understand what you're saying but most change their minds much too quickly, leaving a path of sadness :(
This is the best movie I've ever seen.
Huh?
Biggest downer in the movie!!
What a fine example Francesca portrays! Takes a lot of courage to do that! .. She says sob sob sob he he
this is what happens when you don't go after love. If you wait and believe that it will come to you then you will be heart broken.
I am starting to wonder if there is such a thing...sigh
there is such a thing, but its hard to find. Dont give up
Hawk Star I hope you are right...lol Thx for the positivity

@stoppie999 ...well they mention they are in Positano, she just went to visit him from Tuscany to Positano
Can we please see full episodes' l'm sure we would enjoyed much better
This part is so sad. I hate watching Diane Lane get screwed over like this.
I wouldn't have left that man waiting, I can tell you that.
grazieeeee
mi piace!

Italian men shower a woman with compliments. That's why they are considered great lovers.
I think the guy is kind of serious but he thought she was not ready for a relationship because she is not always available for him. She did not fit him in her schedule. And who knows, men from other countries have opinions also about American women courtesy of Hollywood movies. Nuff said.
You are right. American women are thought to be different, courtesy some bullshit Hollywood stuffs
This part was like a punch in the stomach. ... Though, who would expect a semi-god to be single even for a short time?!?
Right. You can’t prioritise everything else over someone and still expect them to wait
They were away from each other for like a week or two and he couldn’t keep his junk in his pant during that short period of time. She should consider herself lucky for not ending up with a guy like that
@@enticingmay435my understanding is it was months. And she was prioritising everything but him, aka temporally rejecting him 💁🏽♂️
