"I was never gonna see him again!"
The line from the novelization that should have been in the movie.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don't know how much liberty is allowed an author when novelizing a movie.  I imagine they must work closely from the movie, but they also have to paint descriptive pictures of the action while rounding out the narrative.
In the case of Luca: The Deluxe Junior Novelization, it was "adapted" by Steve Behling.  Some serious literature indeed, which is why I bought it.  Upon opening the package, like a moth to a flame I went directly to page 108.  There I read, "…Luca said, near tears.  'I was never gonna see him again!'"  There it was, in black and white. 
But wait a minute, that line's not in the movie!
Why did our pal Steve include this meaningful line of dialogue in the book when it's not in the movie?  Was the line originally in the script, added to the book, but then later edited out of the movie?  Is Steve adding his own impression of the relationship between the boys …you know, that impression we all have?  Whatever the reason, poor Luca needs to be heard, …his true feelings felt. 
So next time you watch the movie and Luca says, "My parents were going to send me away," and there's that pause in the dialogue as they cut to Giulia for a reaction shot, say it for him.  Say it for Luca. 
"I was never gonna see him again!"  
Thanks to @galaxiic for the post and also the reblog of @big-meows so long ago.

It appears that I missed some important research before posting.  It was hard enough to find the original posts I already referenced.
For answers to these and other pressing questions, see this reblog by my resident Luca expert, @brunosaderogatory.

Weird stuff, because it's Halloween …or at least that's my excuse.
A Light in the Dark

Disturbing.  Yes, I know.
Alberto may be lost in the dark, but remember, Luca's name means "light".
...and in the end everyone got therapy and lived happily ever after.
Sheesh.

Too much fresh water.
You know, cuz they're SEA monsters ...and the sea is an ocean, and oceans are full of salt water... but Giulia gave him fresh water, so... he's feeling its effects.

Two cute fish boys still acting cute while doing more cute stuff and once more looking cute.
*They don't mind that they're touching.  They're comfortable with it.  Of course, they might fall to their deaths, so why not?

They were singing a drinking song. ...maybe Olidin Olidin Olidena.
Why?  What did you think they were doing?

Alberto daydreams of Luca's return to Portorosso
Tumblr media
I think he intentionally put dirt on his face as part of the fantasy.
Oh, ...and Massimo got a color TV.
Happy 1 year Lucaversary!
