... Cinema Paradiso offers a series of complex characters who share equally complex relationships, the pain of letting go, leaving behind familiarity for the pursuit of dreams and the power and pain of nostalgia and love. ... Toto and Alfredo are first brought together through there shared passion for cinema and film. ... Alfredo offered empathy for Toto’s dreams and encourages him at a young age by teaching him the workings of the Cinema Paradiso. ... Toto’s love for Alfredo was shown most profoundly when the young boy risked his own life to pull Alfredo from the burning cinema, even being such a small and immature boy his love wouldn’t allow him to leave his friend and father figure behind. ... Following the funeral near the end of the film, Salvatore receives his bequest from Alfredo; a film reel containing all of the kisses removed from the movies shown at the Paradiso over the years. ...
Cinema Paradiso expresses that in a world where nothing is certain, nothing is what it seems and nothing is forever, a true friend is a breath of fresh air.
