best ending ever.

[mtnyc89]

one of the best films ever...thanks

@ae86takumi - Exactly. And it adds a bunch of details, sordid and unnecessary, that turn the characters from beloved archetypes to rather unpleasant people. I guess my vision of the film and what it meant was quite different from Tornatore's, but I couldn't imagine what he was thinking. Right you are; too much reality in what is, essentially, a dream of what we once thought love to be.

[bobbo924B]

@tedwilli9 - It's as if a lifetime of missed love is presented to him all at once. It's overwhelming to see after the movie, even when you know it's coming.

[ae86takumi]

@bobbo924B the problem with the extended cut is that it ruins the magic of the movie. We want the nostalgia that it's the first love and remembering Alfredo as a father figure. However the cut erases those memories by showing us the reality.

I never saw so perfectly represented nostalgia

the most beautiful scene xxx

[emptyleonardo]

@POL4090ARU absolutely agree

[samuraifugitivo]

God damned!, why am i crying now? must be that we always miss the past.

[Mattthecatrobinson]

Absolutely beautiful ending! Made me cry but in a overwhelmingly joyful way. So touching.

When he was a kid, he was looking at the bits of film the priest had ordered to be cut out. Alfredo gives out to him and demands them back. Toto says he wants them. Alfredo says he'll do a deal. Toto can own them, but Alfredo will keep them safe for him. Toto agrees. At the time we think Alfredo has tricked the kid into giving them back. But at the end, this scene shows that Alfredo really did keep them all for him for all those years. And before he died, he made sure they'd be given to Toto.
