This is Steven Spielberg's "Cinema Paradiso". And this is my story, this is how I fell in love with cinema and its making. Through Camera, Through Photography... A beautiful movie about a moviemaker by the moviemaker himself for the moviemakers & movie lovers across globe. It tells the story of young Spielberg, who was born with it, he's fascinated by the movie camera, he could present any stories interestingly and all he needed was inspiration. The two most powerful moments in the film that will become cult moments, (1) that scene where Sammy aims the projector at his open palms using his hands as a temporary screen to watch the film more closely. (2) when Sammy notices his mother's affair with his uncle while cutting the film he shot, which he didn't notice when he was capturing, metaphorically saying ' you notice more in editing room than in production when you see them objectively with a different perspective(a sign of an amateur filmmaker) and its saying the camera captures everything '. This movie proves Spielberg wasn't only living his life but also viewing it as film all his life, finally revealing us his secrets from childhood and personal life. Writing, Cinematography, Acting, Production Design everything was so old school like classics.

A must watch for every picture-maker, movie lovers & Spielberg fans. And loved the last shot & movement, "it's interesting when the horizon is at the bottom or the top." Throughout the film it was in the middle which was boring but as soon as he met his idol he changed it to what he was taught.
