Cinema Paradiso ********

I have decided this long back - if i'm writing a blog about movies , i will start with CINEMA PARADISO . To Frankly say I got interest on movies after seeing this movie only . FIRST IN THE LIST OF MINE .If you want to know about the directors , camera man ,actor and other technicians -- you can visit IMDB .http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095765/
I'm not interested in discussing about these facts . Which are available in lot of websites . We have to say a thanks to the Director for giving movie like this .
This is an Italian movie which revolves around a boy named Salvatore and a projectionist named Alfredo in Giancaldo, Sicily.Story about a boy changing as a film director ..... (A must watch for all the upcoming directors ).Major part of the story is flash back - as a regular Indian movies . Major reason why most of the people will like this movie is -- even though it is other language movie - u wont feel that . It has all the ingredients which are needed for a movie every one can enjoiii it . By the way most of the Italian movies has good amount of comedy and sentiment part in it . Which are sufficient enough to bring tears in your eyes while laughing and crying .The boy who acted as Salvatore (childhood days ) -- he has done it superbly . You will feel like seeing those scenes again and again which depicts the mischievous characters of him .Director has shown very clearly the importance of a THEATER in a village were no other means of entertainment is available . He has given a full coverage of the functioning of that cinema theater ... it has impressed me a lot . To add good comedy - he created 3 or 4 characters in the film ,whom he will be showing every day as the story goes . (lunatic , Rich person who splits from balcony , theater manager etc) . I have learn't from him how to add comedy scenes without any dialogues .Most importantly - Good interesting dialogues were chosen as conversations between TOTO and ALFREDO . Even though i have seen this movie with english subtitles - i was so much impressed by the dialogues which were chosen , think if we know Italian.
I have not seen a climax like this -- I don't want to tell much about that -- since you guys will not expierence the feelings which i experienced . So pls after getting the DVD of this movie - don't fwd to climax part and see it . Very important. After seeing this climax - every one will have some tears running out of Ur eyes .
