This movie is a mixture of romance, life and cinema.
The first part of the movie was how Toto, Salvatore di Vita, was interested in the "broadcasting" of movies and the operation of the projection machine. Toto was seen as a mischievous little boy who would do anything to get close to his dream land, which is the cinema and the projector. Alfredo, the guy who was responsible for the projector in the cinema, refused to let Toto into the room or teach him anything. But, it all changed when Alfredo needs to pass an exam and cheated on it with Toto's help….. in exchange of teaching and letting him to operate the projector. (Why was it so easy for them to cheat?)
Everything went on smoothly until the day where the film and the machine caught on fire.
It was obvious that the cinema was really their only entertainment as everyone cried out what will they do as the cinema had been burned down. There were others also saying how will they live without the cinema.
With Toto now as the projectionist in the new cinema, the village finally get to watch a kissing scene and what Father Adelfio called other scenes as, pornography. After that, the scenes later on were more to depicting the cinema as a a place to release their lust.. -_-||| But of course there are also comedy, horror, and sad scenes, like Charlie Chaplin and so. It was funny how the old guy could memorize and recite the lines of the sad movie and how the couple who were "neutral" to watching the horror movie got together till the end. Even "The square is mine" guy enjoyed some of the movies.
From all the transitions, we can see the time and technology flow to a more improved items and stuff. Even so, the villagers would still go to the cinema (fight to go to the cinema) until after 24/26 years. It proves how they cherished and liked the cinema that have been there for them all these years.
