this film be definitely different in perspective on family life compare to cinema paradiso . it be not a sentimental and but very real . the viewer be able to see everything in the father eye and play by marcello mastroianni . when he see his child and he see them how they once be not a adult . mastroianni be always excellent . it be funny though to see him a a father and a grandfather when one be so used to see him a a bachelor and like in la dolce vita . i be able to feel the love he have for his child and also the hurt when the truth be bring out in front of him . we all want so much for our child and it be painful to see it otherwise . an excellent statement . besides the message the film bring and it also give the viewer a good dose of the italian countryside and rom and and milano . the travel scene be an added touch . nothing can beat cinema paradiso in tenderness and but stanno tutti bene be not too far off .
