The movie we do for extension "Jack Frusciante e' uscito dal gruppo" is ok i guess

i recommend "Barrio" from director fernando leon de aranoa. its the film we do for spanish extension so i recognise that its not italian. its a good film and has the same issues as Jack Frusciante ( or so im told).

iambored · 27 Sep 2003, 5:34 PM

of course la bella vita
cinema paradisio is meant to be good i think

s2ophie · 28 Sep 2003, 12:14 PM

I saw L'ultimo bacio last year which was quite good.

Also i think its this month, an Italian film festival is touring around australia with new movies aswell as most of Fellini's wors cos its an anniversary of his death i think. i have a pamphlet but i'll get back to you guys about it co i will have to find it

s2ophie · 12 Oct 2003, 12:10 PM

I LOVE Roberto Benigni. 'La vita e bella' is my all time favourite movie. I love the little boy in it, he's adorable. I also love 'il Postino' and 'Cinema Paradiso'. I absolutely love all things italian. 'l'aragosta e un crostaceo' lol.

s2ophie · 14 Oct 2003, 8:25 PM

ciao niente! i like you name!

In my italian classroom we had a huge poster of il postino but i have never seen the movie.

iambored · 14 Oct 2003, 10:10 PM

a new person! ciao ciao! spero che ritorni per postare! (is that a word?)

s2ophie · 14 Oct 2003, 10:16 PM

postare? yeah i say its a word. if not, i'll pretend it si for your sake! My friends and i always make up words in italian. Particularly when we are talking about other people in Italian when they are standing right in front of us

!

Niente · 15 Oct 2003, 8:22 AM

I don't do Italian for my HSC, but I did it in year 9 and 10 and I have been there twice! I am very lucky! Has anyone else been there?

Does anyone know of a place called 'Gubbio'? I went to the 'Festa de Ceri' which was absolutely awesome. It is a little medieval town and I love it! I also love florence, I really liked Venice the first time I went but last time it wasn't as good for some reason. I think there were too many tourists.

What are some of your fave Italian words? I have a few little sayings I like, mostly from movies and ones I have learnt from our Italian friend.

LOL once I accidently told a girl that I don't have mad cow disease. She was talking about mad cow disease and I was trying to say that we don't have it in Australia but it came out 'Non ho la mucca pazza' and it took me a little while to realise what I said meanwhile everyone was laughing

.

You should really see il postino, it's really good in my opinion. It's really cute

thats pretty funny niente!! Ive said some pretty funny mistakes while i was overseas (even though i learn italian) but they dont beat that!

I loved florence too, especially fiesole the lil town that overlooks florence. I stayed in a lil town called Vicchio, about 1 hour from Florence (without the horendous traffic) in the Mugello region. Che belle memorie!! and i adored Venice, it was just gorgeous. and Roma era belllissima! i love all of italy, and can't wait to return.

il mio fraso preferito sarebbe .... "sogni doro" - literal translation golden dreams, but means sweet dreams. I say it to someone everynight! its just soooo cute!

s2ophie · 15 Oct 2003, 12:29 PM

In year 10 we used the 'Forza' books - did anyone use them? Anyway one of the places that they had a story about was Gubbio!

I loved siena, probably because we stayed htere the longest but also because the nannini gelati there was so bloody fantastic!

The most stupid thing i actually said to an italian was when we were over there we met some students and i was talking to them about learning english. They said they didn't like it much and i said 'E' molto stupida' as in english is a stupid language they took it that i was saying the guy i was talking to was very stupid! It took me a while to work out why they were giving me looks!

Niente · 15 Oct 2003, 5:22 PM

haha, yeah I can relate to that! Sometimes I found it really difficult to figure out whether people were yelling at eachother or having a friendly chat. Did you find that? It's just that the Italians are so animated! But I love that about them, I think Italians are awesome!

My Italian is really rusty because I don't use it much and I've forgotten most of it. So I ran into those sort of situations fairly often. lol.

I absolutely loved the Ufizzi gallery in Florence. Did anyone go there? It was heavenly for me.

My favourite sayings:
Vai via cane'
l'aragosta e' un crostaceo
struzzi i cameli
buongiorno principessa! (don't you think that is so cute?!)
che schifo

That's all I can think of right now
