While watching this film, I couldn't help but notice in the beginning when the priest was watching the films and making Alfredo cut the film during scenes that were deemed too sexual. I think this really set the tone for the time period Salvatore grew up in and the reminiscence of his childhood. By following the life of Salvatore, it captured the things and experiences that pushed him to become who he was at the time. This film showed the growth of Salvatore himself and a bond that Salvatore hadn't experienced as a young child, which was a sort of father figure. Overall, I believe the film was moving and had a powerful message behind it.
I think this is an interesting post. I think it is interesting how they ended the film with Salvatore watching the clips that Alfredo put together that was censored by the Priest when he was young. It shows how important Alfredo and Salvatore relationship was. Not only he knew that Salvatore needed to leave and would eventually come back receiving this important gift he left for him. I believe that this film had a very deep personal message as Alfredo led Salvatore to be successful.
