THE INVISIBLE BOY

The Invisible Boy is a fantasy film.

It was shot in 2014 in Italy and France.

The film director was Gabriele Salvatores.

The main actor was Ludovico Giraldello, Gabriele Silenzi in the film.

The film was adapted from the book “Il ragazzo invisibile” by Alessandro Fabbri, Stefano Sardo and Ludovico Rampoldi.

Michele Silenzi was a shy, adopted, thirteen years old boy and he lived with his single mum – because his dad was dead.

School bullies played tricks on him. He bought a cool costume for a Halloween party for 50 euros, but the bullies stole it. So he went to buy a costume in an obscure Chinese store. 

Bullies made him ashamed at the party showing his friend Stella that he secretly filmed her on his phone. Michele wanted to become invisible and when, the next morning, he didn’t see himself in the mirror, he achieved his dream. He was really invisible! 

After Stella’s artistic gymnastics training ended, he went to the women’s dressing room but the girls surprised him.

Three children of the school disappeared and one of them was Stella. In the meantime, a mysterious mand told Michele he was his real dad and he also told him that he and Michele were members of a secret Russian group called the Specials. All members of this group had superpowers.

The organization tried to identify Michele by kidnapping children from his school.  At this point of the story, Michele learnt to control his invisibility. After he won the leader of the Specials, he saved the children. And then his father wiped everybody’s memory.

The film ended with a big revelation: the leader of the Specials was Michele’s real mum!

The final scene shows Michele’s real mum informed by other Specials that they didn’t catch Michele but they located his sister in Morocco.

I saw this film with my brother and my mum at the cinema.

I liked it because I love superhero films and because it has got an open ending.

I suggest everybody to see it because it is for every age.
