Repo! The Genetic Opera Question

[indiana_j]

So, in Repo! it's pretty obvious that Luigi Largo is, what, late 30's, early 40's?  Or at least that's what he looks like.  Pavi's a bit harder to place because, you know, he looks pretty youthful but he is kind of wearing someone else's face; but he came across as the middle sibling and certainly older than Amber - early to mid 30's, perhaps?  But then you have Amber, who seems to be around the same age of Shilo - 16 to, perhaps, early 20's, if that.

Obviously, by the time Marni showed up in the picture for Rotti, he was no longer married to Luigi and Pavi's mother for some reason; I'm wondering if Amber's probably a half-sister, then, considering the age differences and the fact that Rotti was looking to remarry?

Man, I tried to watch that, but I got about... 45 minutes in? and just couldn't get up the motivation to finish.

I loved it. It's certainly not the greatest movie or greatest musical but I thought it was a lot of fun. Sadly, I don't think it got enough money to do the sequels that the creators always had in mind (it was going to be a trilogy).

I kind of liked the idea - okay I really liked the idea - but it just... annoyed me, be it the production values, the over-the-top acting, or bursting randomly into song. I just didn't enjoy it.

Actually, now that I think a bout it - I didn't like the movie because I didn't like any of the main characters. The graverobber was about the only one I could stand - the rest I was wishing would just die, and quickly.

...or bursting randomly into song...

So you're not a fan of any kind of musical then? ;)

I think the order goes Luigi, Pavi and then Amber (the Wikipedia entry says her real name is Carmela Largo), although I'd put Amber as around 21 or older. If Rotti's first wife died when Amber was born/very young, there's still four years max for him to mourn, meet Marni and lose her to Nathan, yes?

That makes sense! I was trying to figure out the supposed age difference between all of them considering the age of the actors seems to be pretty wide. I'd started to write a story called The Rise of Rottissimo Largo and I plan on reviving it while on vacation. I'll have plenty of time to write. ;)
