@@sha11235 The french medias didn't talk a lot, because actor Michel Bouquet died around the same time. Same with actress Catherine Spaak, french online press wrote few lines, nothing on TV. So international press often doesn't report.
" When i call you, a different women always answers. But i never heard in any of their voices that they really loved you....." I can never get away from this film......lost the count how many times i watched it.
After having watched the theatrical version decades before, I finally watched the director"s cut using a projector that I borrowed from the school I was teaching at!!!! I watched it by myself! The image was around 150 inches wide and the experience was incredibly surreal!!!! By the end of the movie I was sobbing like a little kid!!! There are so many layers and factors that make it so memorable!!!! One of those is the Ennio Morricone musical score!!!! The movie does not have the same effect without this music!!! The music should have gotten an Oscar for sure!!!!!!!!!
This movie is a love letter to cinema. Ennio was a genius. Great end, when we were able to make great movies with no money (Mediterraneo by Salvatores too). Cinema at best levels.
My God, a fantastic, sensational, poignant film, full of love, laughter, regrets and nostalgia. The heart and soul are upset, attacked by very strong emotions. Fantastic music further increases feelings. NOT TO BE MISSED.
An epic farewell in this scene that is simultaneously cruel but loving as he loves Toto and wants to free him to live a full life while understanding that any sentimentality shown will do more harm than good. The words, the visuals, the emotion, and the music evoke such a sense of necessary sadness in order to help prepare Toto to embrace his future destiny.
la faccia del proprietario del Cinema quando abbattono la struttura dice tutto. Tornatore molto amante di Sergio Leone in questa scena è come se replicasse il finale di C'era una volta il West dove Armonica dice a Frank: "Verranno altri Morton e la faranno sparire.." Il futuro non riguarda più noi due....
Molto bello perché pieno di sentimenti ,di grande nostalgia di chi dopo tanto tempo ritorna al paese natio e si ricorda di quello che ha vissuto. Ma anche molto bello perché è un film pulito senza sesso e senza delinquenza e sparatorie
