Introduction:

Giuseppe Tornatore is an upstart director of Italian realistic film genre. He was born on 1956 in Bageria, Sicily near Palermo. Giuseppe Tornatore started working when he was very young. His first job was as a photographer, and his photos were published in different photography magazines. /kloc-At the age of 0/6, he participated in two plays by Pirandello Luigi and filippo. After that, I began to get involved in movies, mainly making some documentaries in the early days. It should be said that this work experience has a great influence on the formation of his future film style.

What really made Giuseppe Tornatore famous was NUOVO CINEMA PARADISO (1988), which tells the story of an elf child in Sicily. Because he likes movies, he established a friendship between teachers and friends with the projectionist in the cinema. The projectionist also acted as a guide in the child's life journey and left him more than 30 movies after his death. These films are not only the witness of their friendship, but also the starting point for children to realize their dreams. More than 30 years later, he returned to his hometown as a great director and recalled the past again. This is a warm and touching film, which not only allows people to witness the magic of the film, but also allows us to ignore everyone's childhood dreams with a relaxed attitude. The launch of this film can only be described as an unprecedented success. It not only won the Oscar and Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but also won numerous awards at major European film festivals.

Giuseppe Tornatore's films are few in number, and most of them are set in his hometown of Sicily. The theme is also fond of teenagers' longing and memories of the old times, but almost all of them are carefully tempered works. For example, in 1990, he published Yasi Tutti Benet, which tells the story of a retired worker in Sicily who lost his wife for many years and went to a big Italian city to visit five sons with their own careers. This trip truly depicts the current Italian social customs, but family relations are the focus of tornado's attention. 1998, Tornado directed his first English film: The Legend of 1900. In this film, Tim Roth, a powerful actor, played an unknown pianist with extraordinary musical talent. He has never been to land in his life and is not familiar with the world. In the film, the scene of his competition with a jazz master is dazzling, just like a confrontation between martial arts masters. The film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Composition and the European Film Awards for Best Photography for its exquisite photography and soundtrack.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon won the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the 200 1 Oscar Awards, which made many people feel sorry for Marlena. Marina is a work conceived by Giuseppe Tornatore for many years, but it was postponed because there was no suitable candidate for the role of Marina in the film until he met monica bellucci in the advertisement. The film also took place in Sicily during World War II. The protagonist is a child, Lei Natuo, who is in the period of sexual enlightenment. Like many people in the town, he fell in love with the beautiful pier. The first half of the film is full of relaxed and humorous life plots and interesting stories about teenagers, while the second half goes downhill. Due to the death of her husband who joined the army, Marina was forced to approach men, including Germans. After the defeat of the Germans, the women in the town have long resented Marina. Generate not only punched and kicked her, but also kicked her out of town. However, Reinado could do nothing, watching his beloved person be humiliated, and then there was a more dramatic turn. Marina's husband didn't die, and she found a wife with the help of Reinado. At the end of the film, Lei Natuo watched the couple walk hand in hand through the square, which made people feel that things were different, and it was inevitable that things would be more easily felt. From this film, we can see that tornado's directing skills are more skillful, and his photography has always maintained his sense of sports beauty, but his narrative style is still inherited from the Italian realism school.

From 1979, Giuseppe Tornatore started close cooperation with Italian national television station RAI, and he produced a lot of programs for RAI. 1982, his documentary LE MINORANZE ETNICHE in Sicily won the Best Documentary Award at the Salernitana Film Festival in Italy. From 1978 to 1985, he was also the chairman of a production company (CLCT cooperative), and he also participated in script writing and director assistant, which undoubtedly accumulated valuable experience for the future. 1986, tornado directed his first feature film, CAMMORRISTA, which made him a blockbuster and won him the Silver Ribbon Award for Best Director of the Italian Film Journalists Association and the Golden Globe Award for Best New Director's Expectation Award.

The director of Movie Paradise is a cutting-edge Italian neo-realism director. After Movie Paradise, he made films such as Family Journey and New Paradise Scout, each of which achieved excellent results. Film Paradise won him many awards, such as the jury special award of Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film and the Oscar Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

No one can deny Giuseppe Tonatore's talent in movies.

Among many Italian film directors, Tonatore is definitely one of the most dazzling stars. ...

Unlike antonioni's introversion, Tonatore's story is more straightforward and clear; Also different from roberto benigni's wit, Tonatore pays more attention to honesty and stability; Also different from pasolini's bizarre, Tonatore told us an ordinary story with almost no story. ...

30 years is too long for anyone ... 30 years of waiting actually comes from a white lie and an undiscovered note ... It is almost cruel and true, and people can't help but be moved!

Elena's story deeply touched me: a man who vowed to wait100th day for the princess's love quietly left on the 99th night after waiting, because he was afraid that when the100th day came, he would hear the princess's rejection. He was afraid to accept such an ending, so he chose to leave. It is better to have a little fantasy than to let your hopes be completely dashed.

Many words deeply touched me: you are still so beautiful. ...

In the car, the moment I hugged Elena alone, maybe it was a lot of real desire ... and this moment turned any fame and fortune into a cloud. ...

Life is like a dream, in which people experience the happiness of romantic dreams, the sadness of reality crushing dreams, wandering and stopping, valleys and peaks ... these are far from what a movie can carry. So at the end of the film, the talented director designed the plot that the "Paradise Cinema" was demolished, which completely destroyed the romantic dream and brought people back to reality ... Between this dream and reality, we couldn't help crying. ...

At the end of the film, the director seems to want us to relive our dreams. Some broken movies, some gentle or passionate kisses ... I can't help but think of Duo Duo, the old projectionist who is curious about movies, the person who captures his lover's smile with a camera, the person who stands in the rain just to see the smile coming from the window, the person who hysterically shouts Elena's name, the person who is looking for it crazily in dusty notes, and the person who uses one sentence:

In the dream intertwined with blurred light and shadow fragments, the softest part of my heart seems to be gently touched again and again. ...

Go home trilogy:

1, Paradise Cinema

There is a small church in the village of Gyanga in Sicily. There is a cinema in front of the church, which is called "Paradise Cinema". The story begins here. Dodo (Shavato's nickname) joined the church choir, and he also liked to go to the theater to watch Everett operate the projector. Tu Tu always sits quietly, secretly collecting the film clips cut by Everton that affect the weathering. He established a sincere friendship with Alfredo. Paradise Theater is the cultural center and spiritual pillar of the village. People here love movies, and movies are the focus of their lives.

A mistake in the screening caused the theater to catch fire. Dodo became Everett's assistant. Later, he became a professional projectionist. Evert not only taught him to show movies, but also taught him to be a man. After a failed love affair with Elena, the daughter of a local banker, Salvatore went to Rome. Everett taught him not to come back to develop his own career. Thirty years later, Shawato became a famous director. It was not until I heard the news of Everett's death that I recalled his childhood memories. He returned to his hometown.

The theater was forcibly demolished and the whole village came to bid farewell. All the people walked silently in the queue. ......

2./kloc-the legend of 0/900 years

Is there a musical that can make a quasi-musician watch it blindly for five times without getting bored? Of course, it is the legend of 1900. Who is quasi-music-blind? Me. In understanding music, I am only a little better than Alfonso, the former king of Spain. He hired an "national anthem player" whose only duty was to ask the king to stand up when playing the Spanish national anthem, because the king could not recognize the Spanish national anthem. I can listen to foreign songs and stand up in time, that's all. Since primary school, my music performance has been hovering on the passing line. In this way, it all depends on the compassion of teachers.

No wonder European filmmakers disdain American movies. This film directed by Italian master Tonatore is not inferior to any American film. This reminds me of A Beautiful Life, which is also the masterpiece of an Italian director. As long as there are romantic Latin countries like France and Italy, there will always be European films competing with American films.

Like many European films, this film is full of hints. The protagonist 1900 is the biggest hint. The orphan who was born on a boat was born in piano master. He has never disembarked in his life, and he can still walk around when others are seasick and confused. He led a miserable life, but he conquered everyone with the piano. He lived through two world wars and didn't care. He can choose to die with the ship, but he cannot go ashore for the woman he loves. What does Tonatore want to imply through him? "There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people." I see choice. In fact, people face choices all the time in their lives, and every small or big choice determines their own life direction. 1900 chose to stay on the boat. He couldn't take that small step off the deck, even for the only love in his life. Everyone seemed eager to push him off the boat, but 1900 resolutely turned back. He said, "The land has no end." This endless feeling frightened him. The keys of the piano have one end, which makes him feel safe.

The fat man who plays Kangpai musical instruments only has a trumpet when he gets on the boat to earn money. At the end of the film, he still relies on the charity of others and continues to own the trumpet. Life is in a cycle, and we all consume life time in the cycle. Every ship has the first person to find the Statue of Liberty. They shouted loudly and were excited about a goal that they didn't even know the result, thus starting a new round of running. Jazz itself seems to imply to self-righteous people, "Nothing, that's jazz."

Forgive me, I can only understand the master with my own eyes. However, hints alone are not enough to attract the audience. The story of 1900 Legend is like a blue sea, with one climax after another. Let the piano slide freely in the storm while playing, and the children's self-taught performance shocked the people on board. These are just the foreshadowing of the master. Shelley Boarding and Piano Competition 1900, claiming to be the "Father of Jazz". The excitement can be compared with the fiercest gun battle. In American westerns, the one-on-one contest between Japanese traders is very eye-catching, but Europeans can use the piano as a weapon. The panting piano competition ended, and the woman who fell in love at first sight 1900 appeared outside the porthole, and he popped up the work "Tender as Water". Outside the window, beauty is like water, while inside the window, tenderness is like water. This scene is bound to become a romantic classic in the history of movies, and this song is bound to become a voice handed down from generation to generation.

All good things must come to an end. 1900 bid farewell to this world in the explosion, and we only bid farewell to this film with tears. I really hope it will never end, and let us be intoxicated with the wonderful piano sound forever.

Piano and swing dance, tenderness and true love for Qi Fei.

3. Beautiful legends of Sicily

"When I was only thirteen years old, I first met her in the late spring of 194 1 ... On that day, Mussolini declared war on Britain and France, and I got my first bicycle in my life."

She, with wavy black hair, wearing the most fashionable short skirt and stockings and stepping on high heels full of lust and temptation, came to the quiet and sunny town of Sicily. Her every move attracts people's eyes and imagination, and her smile makes men enchanted and women envious. Marlene dietrich conquered this seaside paradise like a goddess. At the age of thirteen, Renaldo also involuntarily fell into the whirlpool caused by marlene dietrich. He not only rode bicycles with other older teenagers, but also shuttled around the town, looking for the attractive charm and various customs of marlene dietrich. He also quietly became her unwitting minion, stalking the prison and spying on her life. Her swaying beautiful image, the music she listened to, and her close-fitting clothes ... all became the most real and beautiful erotic fantasy of this hormone-flooded teenager. ...

However, through Reinado's eyes, we can see that marlene dietrich has fallen into an increasingly dark situation, and she has become a widow. In the eyes of the townspeople, she also became an out-and-out disaster, bringing lust, jealousy and anger. A storm mixed with lust and anger began to attack this small town that had never been invaded by war.

Marlene dietrich gradually sank, disowned his father, was taken to court, and even lost everything. This makes reinaldo, who has always been naive and inexperienced, have to face the cruelty and ruthlessness of people in this simple town. Looking at marlene dietrich who has nothing, reinaldo has never had the courage, and decided to rely on his own strength to help marlene dietrich out of the quagmire of life in an unpredictable way. ......

This movie introduced me to the most beautiful woman in the world, marlene dietrich (played by Monica Benucci). All men will fall in love with her and everything about her. You will admire God for creating such a perfect woman.

But marlene dietrich's fate is tragic. Men can't have her, and women are jealous of her. When she fell, men played with her and women spit on her. When she was helpless, women beat her in the street, tore off her clothes and shaved off her hair, while men just watched.

The whole film tells the whole story from the eyes of a boy in "Seeds of Love", but the film is made with pure and warm brushwork.
