okay and let face it . this be a god awful movie . the plot ( such a it be ) be horrible and the acting worse . but the movie be make for one reason and one reason only and like all of those awful mario lanza movie . just to hear the voice of the star and in this case pavarotti in his prime . okay and so maybe the lanza movie be also an excuse for him to hit on woman and but this movie be about hear luciano . that alone be worth watch the movie . a big opera star stick on himself face his fear and find humility and love along the way and and belt out a lot of hit number and too . i must admit i be prejudice on a number of level . i be italian . i be a big pavarotti fan ( be there anything about pavarotti that isn not big and include his fan base . ) . and when i first saw this movie i be go out on my own and see the height and depth of life possibility and in love for the first time . so as awful a this movie be and the beautiful voice and memory be enough to make me breathe deep of life and love again . yes and it corny and awful . but the voice be immortal and timeless and and the voice be what it all about . so i give this movie a high rating in hope that someone who have never hear pavarotti before will listen and watch and enjoy a new level of music and love and especially since he be now go . like italian food that you have never try before and try it . you may be pleasantly surprised and a a luciano lover or prospective pavarotti peep .
