Paradiso: friday nite movie
The setting was a small town in italy with a town square showcasing a small theatre. This theatre proved to be the life of the town and the only thing that brought happiness. There was a little boy, which went by the name Toto, which the storyline revolves around. His family is himself, his mother, and his younger sister. His father went off to war. The boy always asks when his father will return. It is apparent that the father did not make it thru the war, but the mother will not come to this conclusion and shuns it from her mind completely. Toto has a fascination with the theatre and movies. He hides in the theatre to attempt to steal little editted film reel pieces. He collects these and has a bucket at home; each nite he returns from the theatre and pulls out his bucket. He then holds them to candle light to read them and quote each line of that scene. There is a man that runs the film reel machine which toto is infactuated with, who he wants to befriend and believe in. He serves as a father figure later on when he takes him under his wing. He begins to learn the trade of the film reel works. He begins to grow and find love, live life, move on, become a director and writer of films itself, etc....
What i found to be a wonder of the movie, its magic encompasses the effect of watching people watch a movie. It showcases their reactions, emotions, and the magic. It actually does well, because the idea of it sounds kinda dumb at first, but suprisingly pulls it off. This isn't my type of movie, but the magic was definately there. Another aspect i enjoyed was the randomness. people would just appear out of no where and shout out weird stuff. It kept you awake, when you thought it was just about to get dull. Next thing you know itd be casual, then a sex scene. It's a foreign film, but there was some real hilarious scenes of sexuality. little boys reactions to a naked babe on the screen was classic.
The flm actually starts from the point in totos life where he is well off and old.
This techinique works out fine, because at the end it picks up where it left off. Two lovers finding a nite of love and passion which they never had. truth and promises come out. etc...
it was an odd ending, somewhat long movie. not too bad. it was me and zane in a dark room for three hours. we laughed alot.
