Cinema Paradiso: Movies for movies, and everyone who loves movies!

The film is a feature film directed by Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore and directed by Philippe Noirre and Savatelli Casio. It was released in Italy on November 17, 1988

"Cinema Paradiso" and "Sicily beautiful Legend", "The Sea Pianist", are the same director, called the Sicilian trilogy.

Cinema Paradiso, a cinema in a small town on the Italian island of Sicily, plays a number of movies every day of the week for a church service honoring Jesus Christ on Friday. Going to the cinema became the only entertainment for the townspeople.

Why do people like to watch movies?

I saw such a classic sentence on the Internet:

A movie is such a thing,

Sometimes I see myself, sometimes I see others;

Sometimes to the past, sometimes to the future;

At most times,

Remember everything else and stare at some lines.........

After the town residents finish their own business every day, men, women, and children will drag their families with their mouths in a rush with benches, chairs, cigarettes, melon seeds, peanuts, rice porridge and milk tea, buy tickets and take seats according to the designated position.

The seats in the cinema are divided into boxes, seats, seats, lobbies and standing tickets (with their own benches and chairs). Although the seats are different, the fun brought to the town residents is the same. From black and white silent films to sound films, people cheered, applauded, cried and wept over the twists and turns of the story and the fate of the hero and heroine.

Why do I like watching movies? When I was a child in grade three or four in primary school, my family and another relative in the village contracted to run the cinema in the village. As for what films were shown in the cinema, I can't remember now.

# Cinema Paradi # This former cinema brought me infinite joy and killed countless boring time. Of course, did it bring fun to other people in the village? The answer is yes. Because every time it was time to show the movie, the villagers of the village and even the nearby villagers would come to the movie theater and follow the changes of light and shadow on the big screen with the lights going out. The hard work of the day was somewhat dissipated in the various joys and sorrows brought by the movie.

Time goes by and things change.

The village cinema was once abandoned and then turned into a residential house, not a trace of cinema can be seen.

The fate of the cinema in Cinema Paradiso is similar to that of the village cinema.

Toto, a small town fourth grader, was a clever and mischievous boy. After school or days off, in addition to helping the bishop in church, is to rush to the cinema.

In particular, Duo Duo was curious about the mysterious movie screening room, and fascinated by the external window, the window of light and shadow. Alfredo, the projectionist, had thrown him out of a small room filled with movie posters and a movie projector.

Alfredo said, Toto, you are a very clever and cunning boy, and I am afraid you are coming here for something. And because film is a dangerous thing one careless fire can incinerate the whole screening room.

Did not think of such a joking joking words, a language into a stamp.

When toto and alfredo became normal friends, or more alfredo the projectionist Sicily town, old driver for decades show job, feel the life is too boring and lonely for many years, it is so when organic active smart reveal your eyes now, he decided to change.

Every day, I would spend at least several hours in the cramped movie projection room, watching the operation of the movie projector all the time, except for the sound of the film turning in the movie projector and the voices of the audience outside, big or small. Over the years, alfredo's life, which might have seemed so mysterious and interesting to outsiders, became utterly uninteresting.

So he agreed to Toto's request to stay in the screening room, and after Toto begged him to do so, Alfredo was willing to give him the know-how to show the film as time went by.

Alfredo is toto's mentor and friend, more like a godfather.

Toto had lived with his mother for as long as he could remember. He could not remember who his father was or who he was, except when he looked at the old yellowing photograph. He remembered that his father had gone to the war and had never been seen or heard from again.

So Toto's knowledge of his father is completely vague and lacking.

Alfredo, who is experienced and funny, has no doubt helped Toto feel paternal love in some way.

When the movie screening room accidentally caught fire, he was completely blinded by the fire.

Alfredo was pained and relieved.

Because the Sicilian town has a tradition of film projection, he can let go.

In the past years, he had taught Toto all he could about the operation of the movie machine, and Toto had mastered the operation of the movie projector with ease. Alfredo was completely relieved. Even when he was blind and no longer there to guide him, Toto was able to cope.

Toto also found fun in the daily life of movie screening. Countless movie scenes were engraved in his mind, which also strengthened his love for movies.

During this time, I met my first love, Elena. Of course, the real world is far crueler than the movies. After all, his relationship with Elena is not like the happy ending of the movie, just at the moment of love was forced to completely separate.

Years later he left Sicily for Rome to pursue his dream of becoming a world-renowned film director.

Toto left Sicily, where he knew him, for Rome, where he loved,

A big part of the reason lies in alfredo's powerful words.

Alfredo said to Toto

You have to go out and see the world while you're young and you still have dreams in your heart.

Because this Sicily is never going to change much, and there's not much hope, especially for young people.

If you don't go outside, you will think that this little world is the whole world.

Let's go, let's go, let's go

Never come back

Nothing here is worth your while anymore

When Toto became a world-famous director, he settled in Rome. It's been 30 or 40 years since he left The Sicilian town of Gianga.

The end of the

With the news of alfredo's death, Toto looked back and realized that he had been gone too long.

It's been 30 or 40 years since he left The Sicilian town of Gianga.

Cinema Paradiso, a cinema in his hometown, has already closed.

He and others walked slowly through the Sicilian town holding Alfredo's casket, looking at the movie posters at the doors of the long-closed Paradiso cinema,

For a moment time seemed to stand still a little

He would think of years ago

Fascinated by the cheers from the theater, the curious young self!
