matteo florenzi | silhouette (season 3)

matteo ♡
i don't really know how to start this off. ahhh, matteo florenzi. this boy. everything about him. i'm just in awe of how incredible of a character he is and how deep and incredibly leveled his development was over the course of this season. one of the most amazing things i experienced while watching season 3 live was the fandom immediately identifying with and seeing themselves in matteo. and even moreso, those who had no interest in seeing his season because he seemed like "one of those stoner kids" and then completely falling in love with the world through his eyes. i just can't say anything other than he is the most relatable main in the skamverse to soooo many people, especially mentally ill and lgbtq+ people, and i honestly thank druck and michi so much for that.
so this is an incredibly self-indulgent video based around his depression and anxiety. again, i can't even begin to explain how much it meant to me to be able to see his life daily from his perspective and just feel... so ridiculously understood and comforted. i love him so completely, it's really hard for me to put into words right now. and regardless of the fact that they never explicitly addressed it in words, i think matteo is one of the best representations of mental illness in media.
also uhh if you've been following my videos for a while now, you might remember i kept referring to a "whispers pt. 2" video that i've been wanting to make since literally last july. and so yeah. this is it. surprise :D
and like can we talk about michi for a second? the amount of emotional intelligence and understanding of the human psyche that was needed to pull off such a realistic and heart-wrenching portrayal of mental illness? he's incredible. i don't wanna hear any more nonsense about his acting.
but yeah this video is really special to me. i've been working on it for months and months (thinking about it for even longer). and it's really self-inserty because a lot of the stuff i highlighted in the video are things that i feel so strongly and again i am so so so eternally grateful to druck and matteo and michi for this. and i hope we learn more about matteo's mental state going forward.
okay i'm gonna stop cry rambling now. once again, thanks to my baby val for helping me out with this and for being my friend, i loved connecting to you even more through matteo and druck s3 and yeah this one's for you and for all the other lgbtq+ and mentally ill folk who also relate to this little gremlin
i hope you all enjoy ♡

This showed me really well again how it was to watch season 3. Giving the central and main character the mental illness storyline changed so much. Seeing the world through the eyes of a depressed, hopeless and lonely Matteo was heartbreaking but kind of beautiful at the same time because in the end Matteo manages to communicate with the world around him and understands that he is not alone.

[@queentsundere]

Matteo is the most relatable character in the whole skamverse for me. i'm so thankful to Druck and Michi for giving him life :')

[@omori505]

this was absolutely, u portrayed matteo’s point of view, his struggles, his pressure, his depression beautifully. i honestly have no words right now this is just perfect in every way, u’re really talented (legitimately saving this on my camera roll, im fucking stunned)

[@selcankarabagli2542]

The thing is..Matteo is like really showing how I'm feeling rn :/ He is the most relatable character in any series I've watch till now.. And idk if this is good or bad.. :/

[@hannamadhatter]

god this broke my heart. you captured his struggles throughout the season perfectly 💞

[@zuzannacicha5162]

i know that i'm late but as someone who actually struggle with anxiety and depression i- i have no words. this is amazing. u did a great job with this video. oh my god. i relate to matteo so much. he's my favorite isak's remake. i really love michelangelo, his acting and everything in season 3. he's so talented and i just know how hard it was to him to play role like this.

[@strangeaddiction8803]

I don't know why I fell in love with him 🖤

[@Andrew-eb3xs]

Matteo is a huge comfort character for me, and he definitely makes a lot of mistakes throughout the show, and accidentally hurts the people he loves a few times. It means a lot to me to see a character like that, and I came back to this video after a while because I've been beating myself up over accidentally triggering somebody I love. The last thing I want to do is make somebody relive something like that, they don't even blame me but I still feel terrible. Seeing a character I like make similar blunders is comforting especially when it's so hard to express how guilt ridden I am without making something about me that isn't about me

[@avrilp9496]

i love him, one of the best actors in skam germany

[@selfcompassionate]

i tried to hold back the tears, man, i really did

[@baileyhoward7284]

I can't even tell you how many times i've come back and rewatched this video

[@ourparallels]

I saw this scroll through my tumblr dash and by the little caption you put on the post, I could tell immediately that this video was gonna fuck me up. And it did. Oh... how it did. Thank you for making it, for taking the time to so delicately depict the many nuances of Matteo. For some reason, there hasn't been a lot of videos focusing on his MI and I think that's truly such a shame in the scope of everything because it was such a focal point for the season. And yes, maybe there was no definitive term for what Matteo struggles with, but I think it's very clear that he does struggle and that things are not always easy for him. This character touches me so much in a way that none of the other Isak's have been able to. I haven't even been able to rewatch most of s3 due to how closely I relate (it just makes it harder to watch). Either way, this is my long-winded comment to say thank you for making this video and sharing it with us all. I needed to see it and above all else, Matteo deserved a video like this as well.

The part where Matteo shouts at his friends made me cry. 😭 His season was the first one I watched and I lost my heart to David and him. He will always be my favourite.

[@EP-gw5nc]

I think this might be my favourite Matteo amv, or at the very least in the top 3

[@kurodasuke]

i have to say thanks to you for making this video. and also, matteo, you're not alone (ofc he have david rn) but im also scared to be alone. scared of only getting worse and things dont get better. thank you, matteo. it was really good to feel like i ㅡ even a stupid- lazy like me ㅡ can find someone.

[@dianelechner1570]

He is a great actor and will go far. I loved his portrait of Isak...so different and his own style❤❤❤

[@makosbejgli15]

this is insanely good... 😭 i agree with every word you wrote in the description!! and thank you so much for capturing this aspect of the season with such an amazing video ❤️

[@alrischa.4237]

this video got me goosebumps. his acting mixed with your edition makes you feel like you are inside of him. thank you for this.

[@dramaticalltime]

[@ainroroemrr8057]

[@cez_ra]

[@cez_ra]

[@taylorgallihue926]

Had to come back & comment on this - Matteo means so much to me and this video truly represents him, lovely

[@user-fo4ln8xe3i]

Маттео в депрессии - как отдельный вид искусства...❤

[@vsovereign3]

This looks darker than the original Skam

[@alisalisa2831]

It is. But Druck is very very good, especially season 3
