Synopsis:
Guiseppe Tornatore, a newcomer to the Italian realist cinema school of directing, was born in 1956 in Baggio di Bargello, a town in Sicily near Palermo. Palermo), Sicily, in 1956 in the town of Bagheria. Giuseppe Tornadore started working at a very young age, initially as a photographer, and his photos were published in different photo magazines. 16 years old, he took part in two plays by Pirandello (Pirandello Luigi) and De Filippo, and then he started to get involved in films, mainly documentaries at the beginning, and it should be said that this working experience has contributed to his later film style. It should be said that this working experience had a great influence on the formation of his later movie style.
What really made Giuseppe Tornadore famous was the 1988 film "Nuovo Cinema Paradiso" (Heavenly Cinema), which tells the story of an elfin child in Sicily, Italy, who, because of his love for movies, establishes a relationship with a cinema projectionist, who acts as a leader in his life journey and leaves him 30 years after his death. The projectionist also acts as a leader in the child's life journey and leaves him more than 30 films after his death, which are not only witnesses to their friendship, but also the starting point for the child to realize his dream. After more than 30 years, he is already a big director who returns to his hometown and remembers the past once again. This is a heartwarming and touching film that not only allows people to witness the magic of movies, but also allows us to look at our childhood dreams with a relaxed mindset. The launch of the movie can only be described as an unprecedented success, not only won the Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, but also won numerous awards at major European film festivals.
Guiseppe Tornadore's films are few in number, most of them set in his native Sicily, and with a preference for teenage longings and old age memories, but almost every one of them is a well-crafted work. In 1990, he released Stanno tutti bene (Journey to Heaven), about a retired Sicilian worker who has lost his wife for many years and goes to a big city in Italy to visit his five sons who have their own careers, a trip that truly depicts the social atmosphere of Italy nowadays, but the family's affection is the main focus of Tornadore's work. 1998 Tornadore directed his first English-language film: The Sound and the Light Fly with Me (The Sound and the Light Fly with Me). The Legend of 1900" (The Legend of 1900), starring Tim Roth. Tim Roth plays a musically gifted, unnamed luthier who has never been on land or in the world. A scene in which he competes with a jazz master is shot as dazzling as a martial arts duel. The film won the Golden Globe for Best Composition and the European Film Award for Best Cinematography for its beautiful cinematography and score.
Many people felt sorry for Malèna when Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon won the Best Foreign Language Film award at the 2001 Oscars. Malèna" (Malèna) is Guiseppe Tornadore conceptualized works for many years, but because of the role of Malèna in the film has not been a suitable candidate and delayed, until he met Monica Belluzzi (Monica Belluzzi) in the shooting of commercials. It wasn't until he met Monica Bellucci during a commercial shoot that he was working on. Also set in Sicily during World War II, the film features Renaldo, a young boy in the midst of his sexual enlightenment, who, like many in the town, has a crush on the gorgeous Marina. The first half of the film is filled with lighthearted humor and teenage anecdotes, but the second half takes a sharp turn for the worse. Due to the news of her husband's death in the army, but also due to the German invasion and the hardship of life, Marina is forced to get close to the men, including the Germans, and after the defeat of the Germans, the women of the town of Marina's long-suppressed resentment for a moment, not only beat and kicked, but also expelled her from the town, and Renaldo witnessed his beloved people humiliated but could not do anything about it, and then there is a dramatic twist, Marina's husband turned out not to be killed in battle, and in the Renaldo's husband, he was not a man, and he was a young boy, and he was a young man. In a dramatic twist, Marina's husband turns out not to have died in the war and finds his wife with Renaldo's help. At the end of the movie, Renaldo sees the couple walk across the square hand in hand, which makes people realize that things have changed, and it is inevitable that the world has changed. The movie shows that Tornadore's directing skills are more mature, and the cinematography maintains his usual beautiful and dynamic style, but the narrative style is still the realism of the Italian school of inheritance.
From 1979 onwards, Giuseppe Tornadore began a close cooperation with RAI, the Italian national TV station, for which he produced a large number of programs. In 1982, his documentary LE MINORANZE ETNICHE IN SICILIA won the Best Documentary Award at the Salerno Festival.

Cinema Paradiso won him the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, which is a great achievement. The movie is a great success.
No one can deny Giuseppe Tornatore's talent for cinema.
In the vast sea of Italian film directors, Tornatore is definitely one of the brightest stars ......
Unlike Antonioni's introverted and subtle, Tornatore's narration is more straightforward and clear; and unlike Roberto Benigni's witty and funny, Tornatore focuses on the plainness and steadiness; and also Unlike Pasolini's bizarre alternative, Tornatore tells us an ordinary, almost storyless story ......
Thirty years seems too long for anyone ......Thirty years of waiting, but it actually stems from a well-intentioned lie and an untimely death. lie, and an undiscovered note ...... It's almost to the point of cruelty that it's so true that one can't help but be moved by it!
Elena's story touched me y: a man who vowed to wait 100 days for the love of a princess left quietly on the 99th night of the wait because he was afraid that when the 100th day came, he would hear the sound of the princess's rejection. He was afraid to accept such an ending, so he chose to leave. Instead of having his hopes completely dashed, he allowed himself to harbor a shred of fantasy.
Duo's words y touched me: you are still so beautiful ......
The moment in the car when Duo and Elena embraced each other in loneliness may be Duo's true thirst ......And this moment makes any fame or fortune Turned into a cloud of smoke ......
Life is like a dream, people in the dream experienced the joy of romantic dreams, experienced the reality of shattering the dream of grief, experienced the drift and docking, experienced the trough and the peak ...... All this is far from a movie can be carried. So the film finally, the clever director designed the "Paradise Theater" was demolished plot, completely destroyed the romantic dream, and pull people back to the reality of the ...... in this dream and the reality of the cycle of reincarnation, we can not help but weep! ......
Toward the end of the movie, the director seems to intend to let us relive the dream. Some of the broken film, a paragraph or gentle or passionate kissing shots ...... I can not help but think of that around the old projectionist Efedo side of the Duo, the movie full of curiosity Duo, the camera to capture their loved ones knitted brows smile of the Duo, that stood in the rain just to see the window through the window of a smile of Duo, that hysterical shouts of the Duo. The Duo who shouted Elena's name hysterically, the Duo who searched frantically in the dusty notes, the Duo who ended his dream with the words: You are still so beautiful ......
In the dream interwoven with the confused fragments of light and shadow, the softest part of the heart seemed to be gently touched again and again! ......

2. 'The Pianist at Sea'
Is there a musical movie that a quasi-musically illiterate person can rewatch five times without getting bored? Of course there is, and it's "The Pianist at Sea". Who's quasi-musically illiterate? Me. I'm only marginally better at understanding music than former King Alfonso of Spain, 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 it. I can 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 all thanks to my teachers.
No wonder European filmmakers have always been dismissive of American films, and this one, directed by Italian maestro Tornatore, is as good as any. It reminds me of "It's a Beautiful Life," also a magnum opus from an Italian director. As long as there are countries like France and Italy, which are full of romantic Latin colors, there will always be films from Europe to compete with American films.
Like many European films, this one is full of innuendo. The protagonist 1900 is the biggest hint, this was born on the ship orphan, is born 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 suggest 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." The feeling that there was no end to it scared him, and the fact that the keys of the piano had an end to them made him feel at peace.
The fat man who played the con instrument, came on board to earn money with only a trumpet, to the end of the movie or rely on other people's charity to continue to have this trumpet, life, in many cases, is in the cycle, the cycle of the week, we are all in the cycle of consuming the time of life. 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, then."
Forgive me if I'm so carnal that I can only understand the master through my own eyes. But innuendo alone is not enough to engage the audience; 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 parted with the world in the sound of explosions, and we can only part with this movie in the light of tears. I really hope that it will never end, so that we can always be enchanted 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 just thirteen years old, I met her for the first time that day in the late spring of 1941...". That was the day Mussolini declared war on England and France, and I, for one, got the first bicycle of my life."
She, ruffling her wavy black hair, wearing the most fashionable skirt and stockings, and stepping on erotically seductive high-heeled shoes, arrives 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 these become the most real and beautiful erotic fantasies of this hormone-drenched teenager...
These fantasies are the most beautiful, the most beautiful, the most beautiful.
Through Renaldo's eyes, however, we also see Marlena's descent into a darker and darker place. She becomes a widow and, in the eyes of the townspeople, a scourge of lust, jealousy, and anger, and a storm of lust and rage begins to sweep through a town where war has never even touched.
Marina sinks step by step, breaking off her relationship with her father, being sent to court, and losing 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 Marina, who has nothing left to lose, Renaldo plucks up courage he has never had before, and decides to rely on his strength to help Marina get out of the woods in a way that is hard to imagine. In an unexpected way, he helps Marlena to get out of the quagmire of her life. ......
This movie introduced me to the most beautiful woman in the world, Malena (Monica Benucci), all men will fall in love with her, will fall in love with everything about her, and you'll marvel at God and his ability to create such a flawless woman.
But Malena's fate was tragic; men couldn't have her, women were jealous of her, when she fell, men toyed with her, women spat on her, and when she was helpless, women beat her in the street, tore her clothes off, shaved her hair, and the men, just watched.
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.
