Madness!

Cinema Paradiso made me appreciate the magic, beauty and simplicity of movies even more. Toto grew up loving movies because of the excitement it brings, especially when sensual scenes are projected on the screen. He even manages to learn how to run the projector simply through observation because of his fascination with movies. For me, one of my favorite shots were the faces of the people watching the movies at Cinema Paradiso. The ending was even more classic, an older Toto all teary-eyed while watching the rolls of film Alfredo saved for him.

I suppose he became a filmmaker when Toto grew up. But more or less he’s as detached as ever with himself and the “relationships” he had because something was missing. This is the type of film that has so many meanings and should be discussed in class. lol. Headache!

Anyway, I’ve been wanting to watch this movie since… forever! I ordered this on Amazon because I couldn’t find a copy anywhere. I haven’t checked out the special features yet. Loved it.
