Heart's reach

This movie is so famous that anyone who has watched a few movies seriously should have heard of it. It's an excellent textbook movie, like you've ever heard it. The movie tells a simple story about a little boy, an old man and a movie theater, but this simple story also contains many things that are difficult to express in words. The abstract concepts of family, friendship, love, growth and dreams are all packed into one brain. The film is a short one hundred and twenty-four minutes. The translation of "Paradise Cinema" in Taiwan is very interesting, and it is translated as "Starlight Accompanying My Heart". I think this translation name should come from what Alfredo said to Duoduo at the seaside in the movie - "Maybe this is God's will, we, each of us has a star to chase." At this dusk by the seaside, I can no longer see it. Alfredo, who knew the world, had a lot of chats with Duoduo, who couldn't see the future clearly. Alfredo learned about Duoduo's unrequited love, looking forward to the hopeful future of young Duoduo, and summed up the regrettable life of old Alfredo. Accompanied by the sound of the ebb and flow of the water, he let him go, not in a tone of persuasion, but an order. Leave the small place and go to the big city to find the meaning of life. Such a heavy sustenance is not only Alfredo's guidance to his life, but also a gentle and heavy torture and burden for the young Duoduo. Whether to stay in your hometown or go out and explore is not only a question that needs to be thought about at that time, but also a question that every young person in every era needs to think about when they grow up to a certain age. When someone grows to a certain age, has experienced some big or small things, has seen the world or not, with or without an "Alfredo" who can give advice, and then it is natural to leave or leave. Leave it to make your own choices and accept the challenges you choose for yourself. The decision-making process is obviously extremely painful. Leaving behind the familiar warmth and security of staying, fluttering back and forth in the small world of home, living a smooth and mediocre life, like Elena in the extended version; leaving for a bigger city means leaving home Loneliness, wandering sense of isolation, and the possibility of gaining more opportunities are not without risks, but the greater the risk, the greater the reward. There are pros and cons between staying and leaving, and it's not even clear which one is more advantageous or more disadvantaged. Comparable conditions make the choice more difficult and torturous. In the process of considering options, it is inevitable to start thinking about the meaning of life and life. However, how can such a complex proposition be completely understood by an ordinary young person who is not in the world in a few days. Perhaps only after experiencing such psychological hardships can one grow up and mature. Take a step forward. Few people are as lucky and unfortunate as Duo Duo to have a father-like friendship with Alfredo, but there are bound to be many people like Duo Duo who stand at the crossroads of life and feel lost and overwhelmed when they get lost. Regardless of whether Alfredo subtly implanted his dream into Duo Duo, at least what the old man said was correct. "Having lived here day after day, you think this is the center of the world. You believe that nothing will ever change. Then you leave, a year, two years, and when you come back, everything changes. That line Broken, what you're looking for is not here. You can only go away again for a long time...many years...until you can come back to find your people, the land where you were born. But not now. Now you're more than me Blind." He said, "Life isn't like a movie, life is... harder. If you don't go out and walk, you think this is the whole world." Alfredo was serious. Even though Alfredo was blind in both eyes due to a fire in the theater many years ago, Duoduo, who looked like an adult at the beginning, still trusted, respected and worshipped this old man as he did when he was a child. Me too. When I feel lost because of the choices that affect the direction of my life, I am fortunate to meet Alfredo, a wise, thorough and "ruthless" small-town movie projectionist. As he said, if you don't go out for a walk, you will think that the three thousand worlds are as far as you can see. Small-town movie projectionist Alfredo. As he said, if you don't go out for a walk, you will think that the three thousand worlds are as far as you can see. Small-town movie projectionist Alfredo. As he said, if you don't go out for a walk, you will think that the three thousand worlds are as far as you can see.

  • Salvatore 'Toto' Di Vita - Adult: Elena, perhaps in the future we could...

    Elena Mendola - Adult, Director's cut only: No, Salvaotre, there is no future. There is only the past. Even last night's encounter was just a dream. A wonderful dream. When we were young, we never did it. Do you remember? Now that it has happened, I can't imagine a better ending.

    Salvatore 'Toto' Di Vita - Adult: I'll never agree with you. Never.

  • [to Elena]

    Alfredo: Out of the fire of love come ashes. Even the greatest love eventually fizzles out.
