totally. it is sheer perfection. watch the director's cut, subtitled not dubbed, and i guarantee you will be weeping buckets of joy and sadness. those extra 30 minutes totally alter the film. you have never seen it? please get Mrs grom to chastise you appropriately.
I can't keep this going, no-one else will get it anyway. Cinema Paradiso (the scene where Salvatore goes awol from the Army and returns to Giancaldo to find Elena, but she's gone, and the only person he can find to talk to is Alfredo, who tells him to go away and never come back. This is one of the central scenes of the film, and it's a moment upon which the entire story (and Salvatore's life)turns.
so, I keep the ball. ok lets try another....
"You are mother, sister, lover, friend, angel, devil, earth, home."
there is a connection with my previous choice. ooo its serious film buff stuff now! if you're struggling, a clue is that they're both Italian films. The character of Salvatore is supposed to be loosely based on the director of the film the above quote is from) I know that's not much help!
