Desert Choke "This Movie Saved Me"
The movie "Cinema Paradiso" tells the story of Toto's acquaintance with projectionist Alfredo since childhood, so he poured his lifelong love into the film, and many directors invariably said that their lives and careers were deeply influenced by "Cinema Paradiso". Guo Zijian, director of "The Legend of Wukong", confided: "I have seen this movie many times, I saw it when I was a student, and I didn't think about making a movie at that time, and the movie "Paradise Cinema" had a great influence on me when I was young. Now that I'm about the same age as the protagonist in the movie, I always feel like my life is like this film. It makes sense to see the film on the big screen, and hopefully it will affect more audiences. ”
Desert Desert, the director of "I Want Us Together", couldn't hide his excitement and choked: "This movie has a deep impact on me." When I was a child, I was confused and didn't know what to do in the future, and that feeling was very much like Toto in my youth. And "Cinema Paradiso" saved me, became a refuge in my life, gave me strength, and grew up with me. I remembered that the first time I saw this movie was when I was 18 years old, when I was particularly excited to watch it, I wrote a long review on Douban, 13 years later, those words are still there, as a love letter to this movie. ”
"Paradise Cinema" is not only the "enlightenment work" of many directors' film dreams, but also influences generations of domestic filmmakers. Wei Xiaolei, the producer of the movie "Beneficiary", said: "This movie was watched when I was in college, and I felt very deeply at that time, and today I watched "Paradise Cinema" on the big screen again, and suddenly found that I had not seen such a sincere movie in the cinema for a long time. Movies really changed their lives. ”
Zhou Zijian, the producer of the film "Former Raiders" series, sent a message to young people through "Paradise Cinema": "I have watched this movie many times, this is the first time I have seen it in a movie theater, and I am very grateful to so many behind-the-scenes heroes for fulfilling our emotional dreams." I've been in the film industry for 16 years, and it's time to develop young strength. Movies never go away, love never fades, movies don't die, I believe that every generation will contribute to movies. ”

After the premiere, many authoritative media and film critics unanimously gave high praise, recommending that "Paradise Cinema" is a "must-see in June". Film critic bloggers recommend: "If you can only buy one movie ticket for the whole of June, there is no reason why it is not Cinema Paradiso." ”
Film critic Ren zhi said in the interaction: "'Cinema Paradiso' is a movie that must be seen in a movie theater. Alfredo and Toto in the movie both bring happiness to the audience by screening the movie, and I also hope that the audience can share "Cinema Paradiso" with their friends and let more people see it. The love of a thing is rare and important, and I hope that everyone can love it like the line in the movie, no matter what they do later! ”
In the process of watching the movie, the guests on the scene moved to tears as the film story unfolded and advanced.

For those who work outside, Alfredo said a word when he said goodbye to Toto, which poked the heart of every person who left home; the classic kiss collection of film history at the end of the film became the real "tear bomb", and many viewers were shocked to cover their faces and choke, refusing to leave for a long time.
