Giorgio Rosa, Gabriella, their friends and the Italian and international officials shown in the film are absolutely real people.\u00a0Unfortunately, the President of the Republic of the Isle of Roses did not live to see the premiere of the film about himself, Giorgio Rosa passed away in 2017, but before his death he blessed the filmmakers to work.<\/p>\n<p>In general, in the history of mankind there have been several micronations, some of which proclaimed independence on board ships anchored outside the territorial waters, or on sea platforms.\u00a0For example, the\u00a0<a class=\"a-not-img\" href=\"https:\/\/sealandgov.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Principality of Sealand<\/a>\u00a0, created on the former Rafs Tower anti-aircraft platform, exists to this day.\u00a0The virtual state of\u00a0<a class=\"a-not-img\" href=\"https:\/\/asgardia.space\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Asgardia<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0founded in space, is also operating\u00a0, to which more than a million people have already joined.\u00a0However, in most cases micronations are short-lived formations, and the very first conflict with the &#8220;real&#8221; states, near or on whose territory they are located, ends in failure.\u00a0If you look at Wikipedia, you will find out that the Republic of the Isle of Roses did not last long, but its life turned out to be bright and beautiful.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/rose_island_04-770x513.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It seems that in addition to the desire to tell an interesting story, the filmmakers themselves were attracted by this beauty, style and spirit of the era in which the Republic of the Isle of Roses was created.\u00a0And they tried to convey it in all its glory.\u00a0Rose Island is a beautiful film in the vibrant colors of the 60s.\u00a0Here are chic interiors, stunning Italian cars, girls in short bright skirts, music, the atmosphere of a glamorous beach party.\u00a0In terms of mood, Rose Island is close to the movie\u00a0<a class=\"a-not-img\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1131729\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">The Boat That Rocked \/ &#8220;Rock Wave&#8221;<\/a>\u00a0, which events took place around the same time and also in international waters.\u00a0However, Rose Island also has its own Italian flavor.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/rose_island_12-770x513.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are many references and attributes of that era in the picture: Ducati motorcycles, racing in Imola, the nascent European Union, the sex revolution, the demolition of traditional Italian society, the decline of the total influence of the church.\u00a0It seems that the authors even miss the times when their country was undergoing interesting social shifts.\u00a0And although they show the officials of the Italian government as ridiculous idiots, there is still a note of respect in this joking of the founding fathers, they still talk about the people who stood at the origins of the Republic.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Rose Island is a fairly simple, light Italian comedy that has been sorely lacking lately.\u00a0Its plot and ending can be predicted at the very beginning, but the heroes of this story are so cute and nice guys and girls that you instantly forgive them for this simplicity.\u00a0As you forgive and a somewhat tearful and not quite consistent with reality ending.\u00a0There was no shelling at the end, the Republic of the Isle of Rose ended its existence much more prosaically.\u00a0However, who said that Giorgio Rosa lost?\u00a0It seems that he still grabbed the main prize.<\/p>\n<p>[imdb style=&#8221;dark&#8221;]tt10287954[\/imdb]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The story told in the Italian film L&#8217;incredibile storia dell&#8217;Isola delle Rose \/ Rose Island \/ &#8220;The Incredible Story of the Island of Roses&#8221;
