Gravitas

Movies taken from books often lose something, so much so that you would like to draw a book from the film to give it back what they lost.I was afraid of reading the book and having to admit that it had the same flaws.A good story but written without that deserved solemnity called gravitas in ancient Rome. Fortunately, a quiet lyricism has comforted me.Sometimes, while tears need no arguments, too many smiles and laughter, lightness and joy need explanations, as if to say:now you see me smile, laugh, you feel the calm and spontaneity in my gestures, but how much past pain has cost me, to be here now to embrace life with so much joy.
