Alfredo : Living here day by day, you think it's the center of the world. You believe nothing will ever change. Then you leave: a year, two years. When you come back, everything's changed. The thread's broken. What you came to find isn't there. What was yours is gone. You have to go away for a long time... many years ... before you can come back and find your people. The land where you were born. But now, no. It's not possible. Right now you're blinder than I am. Salvatore: Who said that? Gary Cooper? James Stewart? Henry Fonda? Eh? Alfredo: No, Toto. Nobody said it. This time it's all me. Life isn't like in the movies. Life... is much harder.
My favourite movies:
Simple love, simply beautiful, unfolds as the story returned to first day a girl and a school teacher met, and came back to a long walk of the grieving girl and her son walk their loved one's body home many years later.
A love of a Jewish man to his woman and his son that never succumbed to sadness, hopelessness and fear of the death in a Nazi camp. A refreshing look at human suffering under the holocaust.
The story of little Ingemar as he traversed his rough times: lost his terminally ill mother, sent away to stay with his relative, met various strange characters, yet he though his life is not as bad as Laika - the Russian dog sent into space.
