Cinema Paradiso/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Salvatore seeing the spliced up film of all of the kisses he and Alfredo had to cut out.
  • When Alfredo tells Salvatore to move away from their village, and to never look back, visit, or even think of them again.
  • Made especially Bitter Sweet in the extended version, when you find out that the reason Salvatore and Elena didn't get together was because Alfredo, like a father to Salvatore, told Elena that the only way Salvatore can live his dreams is if Elena never sees him again!
  • Young Salvatore shouting "Adiuto!" ("Help!") while carrying an unconscious Alfredo as the old cinema burns up around them.
