Daily Dialogue — July 7, 2019

“Fix the picture!”

— Cinema Paradiso (1988), screenplay by Giuseppe Tornatore, collaborating writer Vanna Paoli, story by Giuseppe Tornatore

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Movie Theater.

Trivia: Giuseppe Tornatore’s intention was that this movie should serve as an obituary for traditional movie theatres (like the one on the film) and the movie industry in general. After the movie’s success he never mentioned this again.

Dialogue On Dialogue: A movie… a priest with a bell… and actors kissing leads to one of the more memorable movie theater scenes in cinema history.
