this movie was released in 1988 and i started to hear about it when i was in college. i finally watched it today. sometimes i am resistant to watch a movie when too many people tell me that its good...i usually am disappointed because of the hype. so in this case, i waited. i was far from disappointed. if someone were to ask me for a movie to describe how i feel about movies, i would tell them to watch this one.
it is also centered around a movie theater, cinema paradiso. i love old movie theaters. i watched my first foreign film and gay film in an older movie theater, while i was in college. there is nothing to me like the anticipation of escaping into a different world when the lights begin to dim. it's where i go to find myself when i'm lost. i could watch movies all day. i've never done it, but i would love to spend an entire day in the movie theater. i have lived a dream by being in a movie theater watching a movie completely by myself. it would have been better, if the movie wasn't horrible.
there is a small movie theater nearby that plays one movie a week...just like the naro in norfolk,va (i miss it). i need to go there more often.
watch this movie, if you love movies. it's a tadbit long, but worth it.
