My Review-

There are not a lot of father son movies that I have seen that are quite as good as this one. This movie was recommended by a lot of people, and even some books that I took a looks at.  I'am glad that I chose this movie to be on my list, that is said to be one of the movies to watch before you die. In a way I do not want to give anything away because this movie should be seen, even though it was made towards the end of the 1940s and is an Italian film, that does not matter in this case. This movie made me start to love foreign films, just a little bit more. even though at times there were no subtitles when the characters were talking it was still a very good movie, that was the only problem that I had with it, were the lack of subtitles in some of the scenes, other than that it was a good movie. Without giving anything way it should be seen for yourself if you love film or would like to start watching different kinds of movies, watch this one.
