Paradise Cinema, what a wonderful cinema? A movie called "Paradise Cinema", what kind of magical picture will it present to the audience?
This Italian film called "Paradise Cinema" is not as far from the fireworks as heaven. It uses exquisite artistic expression to interpret the love of the world, love, and father's love and mother's love. There are many kinds of love, such as father's love, mother's love, love, respect and love, friendship, caring... In many movies, of course, the most common interpretation is love, and the love that appears in this film is richer and more exciting than ordinary films. . The film not only has a touching plot, but also various film elements such as acting, filming, editing, soundtrack, and scene scheduling are extremely wonderful. I think it is a good film that is close to perfection.
This is a story that revolves around a movie theater called Paradise Cinema. The reason why the cinema is called paradise, aside from other reasons, I think it expresses a little of the director's idealistic feelings. In fact, the audience can often capture some of his idealistic feelings from the development of the plot or the footage in this film.
The beginning of the film, through the combination of film clips shown in Paradise Cinema and the audience's reactions, creates jokes, mainly in a humorous style of comedy. Duoduo, a child who lost his father in the war, is still in elementary school, and an old man who is watching movies, Ai Fei Duo. Playing with the machine that projected the film and picking up the film he cut also developed an extraordinary feeling for Efedo. The relationship between the two, which is quite like a father-son relationship, is the main axis of the development of the first half of the film, and it reaches a climax when Efedo is caught in a sea of flames because the projection machine catches fire, and Duoduo saves Efedo regardless of his life. Although Alfeddo helped Duoduo in the past, now Duoduo has saved his life for him, and the relationship between the two has since become closer and special; after that, Duoduo replaced the blind Alfedo as the new projectionist of the Paradise Cinema, just like Ai Feiduo. Fedor's heir.
Just when I thought that the story was as simple as that, and it was a film that could be classified as a comedy, the film used montage to make Duoduo "suddenly" grow into a handsome young man under Efedo's gaze, and the main theme of the film also changed from old to young. Year-long friendship turned into love.
Duoduo fell in love with Elena, the daughter of a banker who had just moved to this town. At the stage when Duoduo began to pursue Elena, the movie hinted at the tragic nature of this love by telling the story of a soldier pursuing a princess for Duoduo. Destiny, Duoduo waits after get off work to pursue Elena on the streets near Elena's house, although it is a bit old-fashioned, but it is very similar to the way a soldier pursues a princess, so although Duoduo won Elena's heart, but The audience will not be surprised by the banker's opposition and obstruction to their daughter's love affair, or by an accidental conscription that caused the two lovers to not meet for more than 30 years...
Under Efedo's great encouragement, Duoduo finally left the town to look for a future in Rome, and he lived up to Efedo's high hopes to become a famous director. Thirty years later, in order to attend Efedo's funeral, Duo Duo, who has never returned to his hometown, returned to the town. He was surprised to find that Elena, whom he did not know where to go, still lived here and actually married his wife. Elementary school classmate and partner Bohia; and apart from the banker who broke up his relationship, except for the wrong military service, and other accidental factors, the key is Efedo! When Elena delays seeing off Duoduo and only meets Elfedo, he tells Elena that Duoduo decides to break up with her. Elena, who was not convinced by this, left her new address on the top of the small pieces of paper on the wall of the projection room, but unfortunately it was not discovered much. So, despite the vicissitudes of life, Duo Duo after 30 years found Elena by accident and had a song with her and stayed warm overnight, but Elena "will be a hundred years old again", and she already has children. She would rather give Duoduo Treat your lost love as a sweet dream.
This love tragedy should be the most touching part of the film. The director of this film subtly interspersed it in the friendship between Duoduo and Efedo, so that these two kinds of love sometimes merge and sometimes conflict. From the perspective of Duoduo, who has become famous after 30 years, how should he feel about Elfedo's cruelty to break up himself and Elena? He got the splendid career that Efedo wanted him to achieve, but so far he has never had true love, which is still a tragedy from a personal point of view. What's more, aside from the film's idealistic elements of Dodo's forays into Rome, what if he failed? Didn't he lose both love and success in his career? But in any case, Duoduo should understand Ai Fei Duo, because what Ai Fei Duo devoted to Duo Duo is the father's love, hoping that a good man will be in the Quartet, and there will be a few fights in life, and where is the world without herbs? Those of us who have a deep understanding of the father's love can understand Efedo's heartless approach. At the end of the film, Duoduo laughed when he watched the kissing clips that Efedo kept for him and cut according to the instructions of the bishop who reviewed the film. Those love that belonged to love must have made him deeply understand Efedo's father. style love. Let us make a bold guess that Duoduo who has experienced this storm will finally say goodbye to the old love that is hard to let go, and earnestly pursue his new love and find his own happiness.
The love shown in this film is truly unforgettable. Although the love story between Duo Duo and Elena is not particularly innovative, it is still meaningful. The father-son love between Duo Duo and Ai Fei Duo is also very touching and touching. In addition, the film's portrayal of maternal love is also quite successful: in the last part of the film, when Duoduo's mother who is knitting sweaters greets her son, the wool has been dragged from upstairs to the yard, reminiscent of "the thread in the hands of a loving mother"; Duoduo's mother tells How can I unlock the door for my son who came home at night, and then secretly go out and lock the door after Duo Duo goes home to sleep, and even after his son went to Rome, he kept the door open so that Duo Duo could come in when he suddenly came home. The house is never locked. A few strokes have already outlined the broad, selfless, "moisturizing and silent" maternal love of Duoduo's mother, and audiences who pay attention to this will surely be moved by such maternal love. The fly in the ointment is that the movie shows too little friendship between Duoduo and his peers, so that people feel that Duoduo after losing Elena has no other close characters and no close friends of the same age. Elena doesn't know anything about marrying her former partner. Even, the performance of Duoduo and his sister's relationship and feelings are pale and almost blank. Although the director's arrangement does not affect the theme and excellence of the film, it still feels a bit irrational. I feel that this is a flaw in the film.
The story of this film is delicate and real, which makes people think that this is probably the shadow of the director's own life experience. Even if this is not the case, the film must contain many life experiences and insights of the director. Maybe the director himself has some confusion about the choice between success in life and career and happiness in love. Although it does not mean that it is impossible to have both, in reality, the two still often conflict. At this time, which is more important? This is a difficult question to answer. Although the director has scattered his answers in the plot development of the film, he has been staring at the heavy eyes since he lost his beloved, and from the unresolved loss and regret after Duoduo discovered the truth. We are not Can you feel the director's choice? Love, the most beautiful thing in the world, cannot be replaced and concealed by any worldly success!
