Luca

Throughout 2021 there were many well produced films. If I were to present the award to a movie I thought deserved it most, I would give it to the movie Luca. The film can bring enjoyment to all. It is a family friendly movie and really shines the light of the important aspects of friendship. The movie is about two young boys who are sea creatures and best friends. When they go to the surface they turn into humans and try their best  to fit in. Soon they meet a real human friend and enter a competition in order to get money and buy the Vespa scooter of their dreams. Alberto, who is Luca’s best friend, has issues with his dad which is a big part of the movie and shines light to why Alberto is how he is. Luca and Alberto become instant friends because they balance each other out and have the same dreams.  Alberto’s love for the adrenaline rush in adventure and Luca’s cautious, yet risky personality is what draws them together. 

The voice acting is fantastic. The tone in the voice of the actors are put together very well. The movie is known for the line “Silencio Bruno” which said when the boys were telling the little voice in Luca’s head to not be afraid and to live his life with thrill and adventure. The setting was also definitely a big aspect of the movie. It was set in Italy, which gave the characters funny accents. The funny accents were actually pointed out in the movie by Alberto, he would always make fun of it.

Overall, they deserve this award for its comedy, action, love, and sadness all in one. The movie is so fun for a movie night with your family or even with your friends. It was cute and well directed and that deserves to be acknowledged. In my opinion If I were to choose and if it were up to me I would choose Luca even though there were plenty of other outstanding films produced.
