My first point will be his symbol of a tape measure as the years of the child growing older, followed an anchor as the mother and a kite as the child. This shows us that although things are changing, it is still important to keep a strong relationship so that you always have someone to support you. No matter how distant you become from one to another,…

In the film Cinema Paradiso, values of religion and individuality were expressed clearly throughout the film. In the beginning scene of Cinema Paradiso, there was a long shot of the town, which shot in a bird eye view position to help audience understand the setting of the film. As the only entertainment in the town, cinema had such an important meaning to the town people. However, the cinema was also the church of the town.

The CNN coverage shows videos of people close to the attack and surprisingly enough, the majority of them are calm and collected.
