My name is Somebody - Two fists are back: Terence Hill is celebrating his cinema comeback after 20 years
More than 20 years ago, a man with forbidden blue eyes was visible on the screen. Mario Girotti, matured in Germany under the name Terence Hill (79) for several years as a Haudrauf hero, returns to the cinema with "My name is Somebody" and now 79 years old. In the luggage, he has, as the German epithet of the film already reveals, again his two fists. In addition, a young and female replacement for his once congenial, but deceased on 27 June 2016 partner Bud Spencer. And a good deal of nostalgia.
Because there are not four, but only two old fists, which box against the canvas from 23 August. His return in literal self-direction (Hill turned "My name is Somebody" and also wrote the screenplay), he devoted logically to his friend and colleague, with whom he distributed together decades of pipes and pommels. And so Hills Comeback bursts even before references to old works such as "four fists for a hallelujah".
The mix does it
"My name is Somebody" is first and foremost a road movie. Veronica Bitto, a newcomer from Italy born in 1992, is in Hill's side. Old and young, introverted and extroverted, tired of life and supposedly cheerful - the tragicomedy, like every screwball comedy (and many of the Hill / Spencer stripes), lives off the contrasts of the characters. And their ultimately unmistakable similarities. In "My name is Somebody" only with much more melancholy, as in the Klamauk festivals of old days.
It's all about this
"My name is Somebody - Two fists return" tells the story of the hermit Thomas (Hill), who is looking only on his motorcycle the distance and especially the peace. However, it is abruptly disturbed by the young Lucia (Bitto), who seems to attract anger like a magnet. If you are not quite green in the beginning, you will eventually develop a close friendship between the two dissimilar characters. And that is to defend against so many villains who are on the heels of the young woman.
