katia going on about josie's faults and then she says 'your like this because of your mother all curses come from the mother' and then josie says 'is that why amas life turned out the way it did because of her mother?' thats basically the jist of it but not word for word

reply

Yeah that's right but only cos I've read the subtitles!!!!

When Josie leaves national wog day near the start she says to Roberto "ciao bella di nonna" with my extremely limited Italian does that mean "bye Nan's favourite" or something like that?

reply

lol.
i dont know much italian.
BUT.
doesnt it mean something like
bye beautiful dear grandma?
ciao- bye
bella - beautiful
nonna - grandma
and di is just a guess. LOL.

reply

she might say something like that in another scene but she does not in this scene
is thats what your saying you thought some of it means??
but youre translations are correct for those words
some more are (some aren't mentioned in the movie)
fratello - brother
sorella - sister
nonno - grandfather


you bleed just to know your alive

reply

di means "of" so I guess he said "bye beautiful (girl) of Grandma"
