A good movie

Hello.

Well, I’m going to tell you about “CINEMA PARADISO” an Italian movie that was filmed in 1988 and directed by GIUSEPPE TORNATORE.

This film won the Óscar in 1989, a Golden Globe and another European awards.

The argument is about the life of a respected film director, Salvatore (interpreted by Jacques Perrin) that comes back to his Sicilian hometown for his oldest friend’s funeral. The friend was Alfredo (interpreted by Philipe Noiret), he was the first person who shows to Salvatore the film world, because he was the film projectionist of the Nuevo Cinema Paradiso film of the town when Salvatore was ten years old. And they met each other because they were neighbors and Salvatore was a very restless child.

The film is a sentimental portrait of postwar Italy and a declaration of love to the cinema. Salvatore grows up in the cinema seeing a lot of movies, learning about the life, love, family, and friendship through the films.
Personally, of this movie I really like the music, on one hand is very happy and on the other hand is very sad, but I love it. That’s why a friend gave me a CD with the soundtrack of the movie.
