Drusilla Foer and the absurd criticisms after tears for her “husband”

If you have been lucky enough to meet the actor of your dreams, it is very likely that you have had an idea of ​​him related to his character in a film or in a television series ignoring that that was just a role, and that the expectations about him they might be more disappointed than satisfied. This is demonstrated by the ladies who insulted Emanuele Valenti at the supermarket thinking that he was in all respects the same as Donato Sarratore, his character in theBrilliant friendbut also reporters convinced that Scarlett Johansson was the sweet and helpless Charlotte of Lost in Translation before discovering his whims at the first Venice Film Festival of his life. The confusion that drives us to associate the person with the character resists over time, and that’s why the amazed or even indignant comments rained down on Drusilla Foer make a little smile that, in the last episode of very trueshe decided to share a piece of her life on television: from the stuttering father to the origin of her surname, from the relationship with her mother to the pain of the death of her second husband and her only great love, Hans de Foer.

«After a powerful love in old age, made up of sharing, participation and feeling, we need to show respect. And yet, if they court me persistently and politely, a wink is triggered. I met a gentleman and we shared this absence of our loved ones “, Drusilla told Silvia Toffanin, specifying that “behind a person there is always a great man and a great woman”. Words that excited, in addition to Foer herself, also the public from home who discovered her in Sanremo and who, since then, have been following her and cheering for her, were it not for the storm unleashed on social networks a few hours after the episode aired, when people realized they had witnessed not a heartfelt confession, but a lot of nonsense. The biographical notes of Drusilla Foer, we are sorry to reveal it to you, are, in fact, only the result of an accurate imagination and a brilliant writing, because, if someone had not noticed it, Drusilla Foer does not exist. He is a character created by the mastery of an artist – Gianluca Gori – about which we know nothing, but who, at each interview, chooses to let Drusilla speak, allowing her to weave her story in total freedom, as happened also to Ariston.

His is a 360-degree theatrical art, an experience that mixes certain real feelings of Gori with amazing fantasies in order to make Foer a more solid and interesting character. If anyone felt offended – not to mention the commentators who insulted reporters for taking up Drusilla’s statements as if she were a real person – we’re a little sorry. But, after all, isn’t the confusion between person and character valid in this case too? And, above all: are we sure that seeing on television a wonderful old woman who, albeit in fiction, manages to convey a range of feelings so full of truth can really be considered a harmful operation? Perhaps, for once, it would be good to stop wondering about what is right and what is wrong and let yourself be carried away by an art that survives on and off the stage like the one of which Drusilla Foer is the bearer, refined mask that, in a short time, has become the symbol of broad agreements, making everyone agree.
