Luca: Pixar’s animated Roman HolidayHere’s our next opinion piece on Luca - comparing it to the timeless classic Roman Holiday.“Although Roman Holiday was released in 1953, it has a timeless quality. It’s the only fairy tale, to the best of my knowledge, that doesn’t require fairies, talking animals, or other traditional devices of the genre to be magical. The magic of it is in the romance and simple joys of life that we can sometimes take for granted.“Luca does differ from Roman Holiday in that regard because magic takes the form of shape shifting sea monsters. But that isn’t what makes Luca so remarkable to me. It’s those simple joys Luca and Alberto experience in summertime’s carefree days. “Everything good is above the surface,” Alberto says. Air, gravity (falling), the sky, clouds, the sun. What a great reminder for us land dwellers. The magic also lives in the boys’ intense, life altering friendship, which can be read as a romance. But isn’t friendship a kind of romance anyway?“ -- source link
