The article analyzes the film critically making allowance for its setting, color and sound, editing and effects, plot features, screening, design, camera work, acting and directing. At present, cinema is widely recognized for its power as a way of cultural production. “Cinema Paradiso” is one of the most famous and wonderful Italian films which were released in the USA. This film shows Italian cinema importance and is highly appraised for its plot, scenery and casting.

This film is excellent from the beginning to the very end chiefly due to the great performances from the cast. The plot of the film is thrilling and full of nostalgic feelings. It is worth seeing as the script is successful. Every part of this film has its greatness, splendor. The casting is wonderful with Philippe Noirette and Brigitte Fosey in the major roles. Besides, every its shot is beautiful and appeals to the deep and profound interest. This film is beyond comparison. The film is the study of life, of the important moments people face. It has everything: romance, drama, humor, marvelous script, direction, good music and cast.

The major themes that are revealed in the film are nostalgia, sentimentality in viewing the history; loss of innocence and the place of cinematography in history. “Cinema Paradiso" has an excellent film editing and production design and great music. Rita Kempley, from “Washington Post” writes in her article: "It is, in a word, exquisite" (Bondanella, 2002). "Anyone who loves movies is likely to love 'Cinema Paradiso'" writes Roger Ebert, from “Chicago Sun-Times”. It is absorbing and on a whole has a light calm atmosphere and the good music that makes understandable the whole story even without words. This film can be called a cinematic textbook for its clarity and simplicity. A good movie usually does not have a complicated plot. “Cinema Paradiso” is a good example of simplicity. Phillipe Noiret and Salvatore Cascio conquere the praise of spectators thanks to their simple performance. To my mind the film deserves the Oscar award that it has got.

“Cinema Paradiso" is a film that makes its viewers cry. It is so perfectly done that it is beneath criticism and is worth seeing. In my opinion “Cinema Paradiso" is one of the best films ever made. It has depth, emotion that makes the spectator look into his soul and think about life. This is an affectionate film, salute to the magic of the movies, which recreates the experience of cinema in a small Italian village. It raises questions about the place of cinema.

By: vanko007a | 20/08/2008
Apart from a bit of creepy imagery, Mirrors is tedious, and an odd choice for a director whose movies, good or bad, tend to set their sights far over the top.
