Cinema Paradiso

In the middle of the night, the music of football was playing, so I came to write a diary by the way. Recently, like him, I am obsessed with watching discs. Maybe it is really to escape. Movies can tell many stories and cover many aspects of life. The "Cinema-Paradiso" I watched today reminded me of "Life is Beautiful". They all made me laugh at the beginning, but the ending was moved to tears, which made me choked up and melancholy when I thought about it.
The film "Cinema-Paradiso" runs through the three stages of the protagonist's life. "Childhood" misses his father, a happy life, his curiosity and love for movies, and the teaching of his father-like master; Soldiers, the conflict between life and love, leaving hometown; "Adult" brings self-confidence to forget the past, the death of the master, the changes in the town, the reunion with the lover, the truth of the past, the gift of the master...
A big brother said excitedly. , the director Giuseppe Tornatore, who directed "The Pianist at Sea", seems to have only made three films, and all three won many awards. I watched the original version of 170MI. It is said that this version is Giuseppe Tornatore’s favorite, but when it was released, no one applauded, and the version that Tornatore reluctantly edited has been recognized by people and swept away. All movie awards, why? Maybe the edited version is easier to understand.
When I saw it at the end, I couldn't stop crying, and I was relieved for the lasting love, the helplessness of reunion, and the last gift of "Duo Duo". In the end, the master left "Duoduo" to spliced ​​into the film from the deleted films, to give back to "Duoduo" the love that owed him for 30 years, that is an old man's repentance.
I've heard and watched a lot of stories like this, but every time I see them, I can't help but cry. Maybe it's really the most beautiful thing. If Li Qiao and Ah Jun in "Sweet Honey" hadn't separated, if Liming and Shu Qi in "City of Glass" became husband and wife, if the heroine and hero of "Long Dreams of Covered Bridge" eloped, if Vivien Leigh in "Broken Soul" did not Suicide, if the princess of "Roman Holiday" married a reporter... so many if it was rewritten, what would be the ending? I think the "Venus" afterimage will give us the answer, the incomplete beauty is eternal.

Cinema Paradiso quotes

  • Salvatore 'Toto' Di Vita - Adult: Mama, I deserted you. Ran out on you like a bandit, without any explanation.

    Maria Di Vita - Older: I never asked for any. You don't have to explain anything to me. I always thought you did what was right. Why dwell on it? You were right to leave. You did what you wanted to do. Every time I call you, a different woman answers. But I never heard in any of their voices that they really loved you. I would've known. All the same, I'd have liked to see you settled down in love with someone. But your life is there. Here there are only ghosts.

  • [repeated line]

    Village Idiot: It's my square. The square is mine.
