If you have seen the film, you already know what an intensely emotional experience it is, a love story about the movies, about childhood, friendship, growing up and growing apart. If you haven't, do yourself a huge favor and watch one of the best movies of all time. Towards the end, when Toto is watching his old films again, there is a quick shot of an older woman interspersed into the frames. I remember thinking how beautifully restrained that was, representing Toto's lifelong hopeless search for his lost love, Elena, in just these few frames.
Now, having read the screenplay, I see how much of the story ended up on the cutting room floor. Tornatore includes the entire coda of Elena and Toto's relationship in about fifteen pages of the text--that is, about one-sixth of the whole story. Not that it doesn't work; in fact, it's remarkably satisfying in its own right, but I have to agree with the directorial decision to leave it out. Elena is the other love interest--the one who is not Toto's passion as is the cinema and, certainly, Alfredo--so the whole denouement with her becomes something of a distraction. It must have been yet another heartbreak to leave those scenes out of the final cut, but they make a better movie. Not surprisingly, reading them as part of the original text makes me appreciate the whole story--okay, set of stories--that much more.
But seriously, see the movie.

Cinema Paradiso, written and directed by Giuseppe Tornatore
10 out of 10
This is one of the best motion pictures that one can see, winner of some of the most important, prestigious awards in the industry � Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, Golden Globe and BAFTA in the same category, BAFTAs for Best Actor � Philippe Noiret � Best Actor in a Supporting Role and Best Screenplay, finally, The Grand Prize of the Jury at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival.
Critics have loved this masterpiece, giving it an average rating of 80 out of 100, the public rated it at 8.5 out of 10 and placed it at 54 in the hierarchy of best motion pictures from the perspective of the audiences � seeing as there might be an Oscar for most popular film, it would get one, if it opened this year.
Cinema Paradiso is a celebration of the…Cinema, with almost all the action taking place in and around the theater where people see the magic moving pictures in a village in Sicily, Italy.
Philippe Noiret, one of the greatest actors of all time, has the leading role of Alfredo, a projectionist in the Cinema Paradiso, a wise man that has learned so many famous lines from the glorious films with giants like James Stewart, Jean Gabin, Brigitte Bardot, Ingrid Bergman, Vittorio de Sica and so many other legendary gods of the big screen.
The other major protagonist of the film is Salvatore “Toto� Di Vita, portrayed by three actors, corresponding childhood, teenage years and finally the adult man, who receives at the start of the movie the news of the death of his longtime friend, Alfredo, and then recalls scenes from the past.
Salvatore is a famous film director when he gets the news, a career, in fact a calling that he has been helped to choose by his presence in front of the big screen, where he could watch the most accomplished artists in the world.
Alfredo is a mentor, father figure, friend who protects the child � defends him when he makes a mistake, has no money for the ticket, has been late home � and in exchange so to say, the child saves his life.
In the old days of cinema, the film used to project the motion pictures on the screen where highly inflammable and although the hero has the technique to avoid fires, one night there is nothing he can do when a calamity takes place and first the film, then the clothes of the projectionist and the whole cinema are in flames.
Alfredo has just tried a generous, cultural act, by projecting the film outside the building, on the wall of a building on the square, where a comical man is bedazzled to walk on his balcony and see he is in the middle of a movie, but as he does that, the hero becomes a victim.
The child comes up to the projection room, sees that his friend is on fire and about to expire if nothing is done about it, with phenomenal bravery, outstanding dedication, surreal effort, he drags the otherwise soon to die man out of the room and on to the stairs.
For a while, the public feels that this Super Man stunt has all been in vain, and the severely burnt protagonist has succumbed to his serious wounds, for we do not see him, up to the point where he comes to the Cinema and we see he has lost his eyesight and he is blind now.
Although a drama with one tragedy announced in the beginning � the death of the hero � and then the calamity of the fire, there are many amusing scenes and characters: the priest who acts as the local censor for the love scenes.
Father Adelfio comes to the cinema to watch the films before they are available for the villagers, whenever there is a kiss, he signals it, Alfredo marks the spot on the reel with paper, then cuts the passage and sets it aside, because when he sends the reels back, he has to restore the cuts.
At one point, he gives some of the fragments which have not been restored in the original to the would be director, but alas, a small fire is started at his home too and his mother comes to punish the boy, who is defended by the projectionist who takes the blame.
The motion pictures represent culture, entertainment and bring light, happiness, information, a whole different world, feelings, emotions, amusement � they all laugh when they see Charlie Chaplin, Alfredo Sordi and other sacred monsters � to the simple villagers who see–some of them � Cinema Paradiso as a Temple.
Evidently, there are moments when what happens inside is not aspiring to drink the ambrosia and nectar with the Gods of cinema, some of the teenagers are so aroused by intimacy on the screen � even with heavy editing done at the order of Father Adelfio � that they masturbate in their seats.
Salvatore falls in love when he becomes a young man � maybe one should say a teenager actually � only the girl he likes seems to be out of his league, or at least her parents think that way.
Her family is rich, Salvatore is very poor and although the two love each other, her parents make every effort to take her away from what they see as a bad influence, a potential damaging relationship and perhaps failed marriage.
Without details that may constitute a spoiler alert, one could just say that Alfredo would play a vital role in this love story, even if the message might be that creation, art needs sacrifice and in order to become a great artist, creator, one has to sacrifice feelings, love itself maybe.

قصه هم مانند فیلم، فضای رمانتیکی دارد، در عین حال جذاب و خواندنی. با این همه فیلم به دلیل شیرینی بازیگری که در نقش خردسالی راوی بازی می کند، و همین طور بازی زیبای فیلیپ نواره در نقش آپاراتچی، از کشش بیشتری برخوردار است.

تورناتوره رو با هزار و نهصدش شناختم و این فیلم جوری تزریق شد توی رگام که با خودم قرار گذاشتم که هر سال یک بار این فیلم رو نگاه کنم. اول بار فیلم نامه ی این اثر رو خوندم و بعد کشیده شدم به شمت دیدنش، فیلمش برام جذاب تر از خود فیلم نامه ��ود غیر اون جاهاییش که پیرمرد و پسرک با هم هم کلام میشدن

Posted : 9 years, 8 months ago on 19 August 2008 12:01 (A review of Cinema Paradiso film...)
''Life isn't like in the movies. Life... is much harder.''
A filmmaker recalls his childhood, when he fell in love with the movies at his village's theater and formed a deep friendship with the theater's projectionist.
Salvatore Cascio: Salvatore 'Toto' Di Vita - Child
Cinema Paradiso is one of those films you hear made in some kind of reference too many times and ponder, yes, I must watch that one someday.
Unfortunately that day kept passing me, but I now believe this was meant to be, for when I did finally catch, it was a very different film than everybody had been going on about.
The most enjoyable moments to me were the scenes with the child Salvatore (real name in fact Salvatore), or Toto as he is known in the village. A little acting marvel, his face truly lights up brighter than the cinema screen with which he is enraptured, and his scenes with Philippe Noiret as projectionist Alfredo are touching and magical without being overly sentimental (Spielberg could learn a lesson here). I could also have easily believed he would grow up to be the older Salvatore (French actor Jacques Perrin) who returns to the village. The adolescent Salvatore (Marco Leonardi) however bears no resemblance to these two whatsoever and, if I have a complaint, this is it, and so my disbelief was unsuspended for a while.
This notwithstanding, Cinema Paradiso is beautifully framed, lensed, and is enhanced immeasurably by an exquisite score by the Morricones which has become a favourite soundtrack for collectors. As with many of Morricone's scores it was composed based simply on the script and before any filming took place, so that the actors could perform and react to the music and tempos being played in the background of their scenes, a la theatre. According to Tornatore 'Some of the themes that are now in the film were composed right in front of me during those first few days. His music was an inspiration to everyone, whilst Morricone himself states 'The music was born of my collaboration with Giuseppe. It reflects how I was inspired by the story of a boy, in love with a beautiful woman and coming of age in a small town in Sicily. After reading the script I attempted to write music that would aid the film in its slow transformation from comedic and ironic to heavily dramatic'.
He succeeded beautifully.
The movie Nuovo Cinema Paradiso moved me greatly and the feelings are so strong that I can't even describe it. As they say, beauty in terms of human words can only go so far before it becomes meaningless.
It is a film about film, a story about love and friendship and everything that a living human being can feel. A lovely and smart child ,living with a desperate mother waiting for her beloved husband at war,grew up with movies and finally became a famous director.
He once loved a beautiful woman and the woman loved him too. However,as we all know, love is fragile. Love immediately comes to an end the moment it meets with marriage.
So,is there a way that makes love eternal,always smiling at you when you open your eyes in the morning? I had guessed the beginning but I didn't get the fine. That's why it's such a film of greatness and a masterful work.
A Moving Masterful Piece of film that is Cinema Paradiso.

Definitely one of the greatest Italian films. Am going towards a day soon, where I will have to say goodbye to some people, and albeit I didn't get a huge amount of time, I'll just have to appreciate what was there and move on. I have written a full article about it here:
