I've seen this movie long time ago...and personally I like it better than Cinema Paradiso. Maybe some people find this one too sentimental and a bit "cliche", but I find it really moving. And Marcello Mastroianni is such a great actor that his protray of this Sicilian patriach is charming, funny and heart breaking.

i haven't paid much attention to the way the director used to shoot this movie...on the other hand, i found the plot really moving...it's about lots of stuff: family love, generation gap, solidity, miscommunication...

and why did you say the ending is "old"? (ah...maybe it's unfair to reveal the ending to those who haven't seen)...to me, it's a surprising ending...!

by the way, did u watch it in HK?
