Cinema Paradiso is the best example of the Italian Movie industry products. There is an interesting symbolism used in the Movie, for example the bell. Every time the bell signifies the anger and disappointment of one of the characters. The Cinema Paradiso was operated by Alfredo. His trained eyes worked his station for many years. In the days that Alfredo worked, none of the Movies contained any sexual images. Toto was always interested in those particular scenes. So when t he cinema burnt down Alfredo's sight was taken from him because the new cinema would allow the viewing of all types of sexual scenes in the Movies, mostly just kissing.
A very comical scene in the Movie was when Toto was on the pier wishing that it was summer time so that he could see Elena. He also says that he wishes he were in a Movie because if he was he would be with Elena and there would be a storm and then it would fade away into the next scene. Because he is in a Movie the exact same thing happens. A storm begins and Elena pops out of no where and they begin to kiss in the rain.
Another reoccurring image in the Movie was the anchor. When Toto is reading a letter from Elena on the pier he Is upset that he cannot see her because of the fact that both of them have responsibilities that they have to tend to and are tied down. While this is happening in the camera shot there is a lone anchor leaned against a post. The anchor is Toto because he is tied down and cannot really do what he wants to. The second time this happens would have to be my favorite scene from the Movie just because of the scenery. Toto is walking with Alfredo along the beach and he is upset with his life and how nothing is working out for him. Alfredo gives him advice by telling him to leave, and that there is nothing for him in this town. All along the beach that they are walking on are many anchors laying on the sand all alone. There are also many anchors that are intertwined with one another. I really liked this scene because all the lone anchors symbolized the responsibilities that he has and all the jumbled ones showed all the things he was confused about and wasn't able to let go.
