MCT:May 5, 2008Despite the fact that this is one of the best endings to a movie I've ever seen, I do not feel as strongly about the rest of the movie. This is a nice story, albeit it is a bit dragged out and at times lacks focus. The score is just perfect, and the ending ties everything together nicely. However, "Life Is Beautiful", another Italian made character study, is simply a superior film.

This film is for all movie lovers. It has tonnes of movie references. It's all about love - towards movie, towards friends, towards one's own lover and memory. It will make you happy, sad, laugh, cry and inspired. The nice film score will make you indulge in and enjoy it. The ending is one of the most moving scenes, I can even say, in the cinema history.

"Sei felice?". This movie gets richer every time I watch it. Divided into three chapters, the audience is practically presented the life of Salvatore de Vita: growing up as a little kid enchanted with cinema, in his teens allured by a blue-eyed goddess and as a successful professional forced to face a past that he's running away from. The scope of this film is epic, as it tries to condense a whole life into a three hour film but Tornatore does it with ease. The first two chapters were presented as if it was pulled out from a Fellini film, full of caricatures that the audience will eventually fall in love with. I particularly liked that long prologue before Tornatore casts his darker, more sinister purpose on the last chapter. A movie that starts off as romantic, it elevates itself as it focuses on the more complicated aspects of life and certain what-ifs we eventually carry with us as we grow older. Accompanied by the mesmerisingly magnificent score of Ennio Moriconne, Tornatore has created a film that every film lover will love. It is a love story of a boy and his movies. Bellissimo.

Bellisimo. So what if it is criticized for being too sentimental? I loved it and definitely became choked up from time to time.

A beautiful movie about, well, movies! And the LOVE STORIES interspersed in it are just as captivating. In addition, maestro Ennio Morricone's score simply takes your breath away and makes your soul soar! Awesome music, even sanative for me! A treasure of a rare cinematic accomplishment! It will always be one of all-time favorites!
