Wedding Day is no longer a trope per TRS


* WeddingDay: The film begins with a huge wedding. Interestingly, the marriage of the couple isn't important to the plot, but the setting serves as a way for Luciano (as a drag performer) to be introduced to Enzo and their lives become intertwined as a result.

''Reality'' is a 2012 Italian film directed by MatteoGarrone. It follows the story of a fishmonger named Luciano, a man who wants nothing more than to be on ''Series/BigBrother''. After he auditions, he believes that the judges love him and that he will most definitely be on the upcoming season, so he alters his lifestyle as if he is already being judged. For Luciano, the lines between reality and RealityTV have become blurred, much to the dismay of his family and friends.

The film won the Grand Prix in the Cannes Film Festival in 2012 and garnered a lot of interest due to the casting of Aniello Arena, who was serving a life sentence in prison during the filming.

* HolyCity: Luciano makes a pilgrimage to Rome and attends a huge church service.
* LaughingMad: The film ends with this, courtesy of [[spoiler: Luciano]].

* SanitySlippage: Luciano grows increasingly more unstable throughout the film.
