I believe you will see your childhood
1. Cinema Paradiso In the village of Gianga, on the island of Sicily, there is a small church, and in front of the church there is a movie theater called "Cinema Paradiso". The story unfolds here. Toto (Salvatore's nickname) joins the church choir and likes to go to the theater to watch Evert operate the projector. Toto always sits quietly on the sidelines, surreptitiously collecting the weathered film clips that Evert cuts out. He and Evert developed a genuine friendship. The Paradise Theater is the cultural center and spiritual pillar of the village, where people love movies and where movies are the focus of their lives. A mistake at the screening leads to a fire in the theater. Toto becomes Evert's assistant. He later grows into a professional projectionist. Evert teaches him not only to show movies, but also to be a human being. After a failed relationship with Irena, the daughter of a local banker, Salvatore travels to Rome. Evert taught him not to return, but to develop his own career. Thirty years passed and Salvatore became a famous director. It is only when he hears of Evert's death that his childhood memories come back to him. He returns to his hometown. The theater is going to be forced to be demolished and the whole village comes to say goodbye, all of them walking silently in a queue ......

The Pianist at Sea Has there ever been a musical film that could make a quasi-musically illiterate person re-watch it five times without getting tired of it? Of course there is, and it's The Pianist at Sea. Who is musically illiterate? I am. I'm only marginally better at understanding music than the former King of Spain, Alfonso, who hired an "anthemist" whose only duty was to tell the king to stand up when the Spanish national anthem was played because he couldn't hear the Spanish national anthem. I could hear the anthem and stand up in time, but that's about it. Since elementary school, my music grades have hovered around the passing line, and that's it, thanks to the kindness of my teachers. It's no wonder that European filmmakers have always been dismissive of American films, and this one, directed by Italian maestro Tornatore, is as good as any American film. It reminds me of "Life is Beautiful," also a masterpiece from an Italian director. As long as there are countries like France and Italy that are full of romantic Latin colors, there will always be European films to compete with American films. Like many European films, this one is full of innuendo. The protagonist 1900 is the biggest hint, the orphan born on a ship, is a natural piano master, he never got off the ship in his life, able to in other people due to seasickness and vomit a mess when idle. He was born into a miserable life but conquered everyone with his piano, he lived through two world wars but didn't think anything of it, he could choose to die with his ship*** but couldn't once get on land for the woman he loved so much. What is Tornatore trying to imply through him? "There is a thousand Hamlets in a thousand eyes", and what I see is choice. People are faced with choices practically every moment of their lives, and each choice, small or big, determines the course of their lives. 1900 chooses to stay on the ship, and he can't take that one small step off the deck, even for the only time in his life that he will fall in love. Everyone seemed eager to push him off the ship, but Nineteen Нundred turned back. He said, "There is no end to land." This feeling that there is no end to it scares him; the keys of a piano have an end, and that makes him feel at peace. The fat man who played the con instrument, who came on board to earn money with only a trumpet, and who continued to have it only by the end of the movie on the charity of others, life, in many cases, is a cycle, a cycle of weeks and weeks, and we all consume our life's time in the cycle. On each ship there is the first person to discover Lady Liberty, who starts a new run by shouting at the top of their lungs and getting excited about a goal that they don't know the outcome of. And then there's jazz itself which seems to suggest the kind of self-righteousness that says, "Nothing is jazz, that's jazz." Forgive me if I can only understand the maestro through my own eyes. But hints alone are not enough to engage the audience, and the plot of The Pianist at Sea is like the tides of the blue sea, with climax after climax. Playing in a storm while letting the piano slide freely, a child's uninitiated performance shocking the boat full of people, these are just the master of the preparation. The self-proclaimed "Grandmaster of Jazz" Shelly came aboard to compete with 1900 on the piano, and the excitement was comparable to the most intense gunfights. American westerns featured eye-catching one-on-one battles between fast gunmen, but the Europeans could use the piano as a weapon. Let a person breathless piano competition is over, 1900 at first glance on the love of the woman appeared in the porthole, he played the fast heart of the work "soft like water", outside the window, the beauty is like water, the window, soft like water. This scene will surely become a romantic classic in the history of movies, and this song will surely become the sound of the world. There is no such thing as an unending banquet. 1900 in the sound of explosions and farewell to the world, we can only part with this film in the light of tears, I really hope that it will never end, so that we will always be intoxicated by the beautiful sound of the piano. Piano and waves **** dance, tenderness and true love fly. 3, "the beautiful legend of Sicily" "when I was only thirteen years old, the day in the late spring of 1941, I met her for the first time.... That day, Mussolini declared war on Britain and France, and I got the first bicycle of my life." She, with her wavy black hair, the most fashionable skirt and stockings, and erotically seductive high heels, arrived in the quiet, sunny town of Sicily. Every move she makes attracts attention and arouses desire; every smile she wears mesmerizes men and makes women envious. Marlena, like a goddess, conquered this seaside paradise. At only thirteen years old, Renaldo could not help but fall into the vortex set off by Marlena. He not only rode his bicycle with other older teenagers, traveling through all corners of the town, searching for Marlena's alluring beauty and all kinds of flavors, but also quietly became her unknowing little follower, like a shadow following and peeping into her life. The way she moves, the music she listens to, the clothes she wears, all become part of this hormone-drenched man's life. All of them become the realest and most beautiful erotic fantasies of this hormone-drenched teenager... However, through Renaldo's eyes, we also see Marlena falling into a darker and darker situation. She becomes a widow and, in the eyes of the townspeople, a real scourge, bringing with her lust, jealousy, and anger, and a storm of lust and anger begins to sweep through the town, which has not even been disturbed by the war. Marlena sinks step by step, cuts off her relationship with her father, is sent to court, and loses all her possessions, which makes Renaldo, who has always been na?ve and untouched by the world, be forced to face the cruelty of the hearts of the people of this simple town. Looking at Marlena, who has nothing left to lose, Renaldo plucks up courage he has never had, and decides to help Marlena in a way that is difficult to imagine, by relying on his own strength. Marlena out of the quagmire of her life ...... This movie introduced me to Malena (Monica Benucci), the most beautiful woman in the world, all men will fall in love with her, will fall in love with everything about her, you will marvel at God and his ability to create such a flawless woman. But Malena's fate is tragic; men can't have her, women are jealous of her, and when she falls, men toy with her, women spit on her, and when she's helpless, women beat her in the street, tear her clothes off, shave her hair, and the men, well, just watch. And while the whole movie tells the whole thing from the eyes of a love-struck boy, it gives the movie a pure, warm brushstroke.
