Yeah, they moved my first day.
What are we going to hear and why are you taking it to the island?
This is part of the soundtrack to Cinema Paradiso by Morricone.
And it's a piece of music that my son plays on the piano.
which absolutely turns my heart over every time I hear it.
Because this is a film about... It's an absolute love letter to cinema and the power of storytelling.
And how this man who has grown up in this small town in Sicily where his mentor and friend was the projectionist in the cinema and he just fell in love with film.
And the projectionist said to him, ''Leave here, never come back.
''You have to go and make something of your life.''
And then he's come back for his funeral.
And the cinema is being shuttered and closed down and destroyed.
And it's all a story about the loss of young love.
And then at the very end, he gets something in the will.
And it's during the early days of the cinema, they had to cut out all the kisses because of censorship.
All the sort of passion had to be cut out of these movies.
The projectionist has spliced them all together onto a reel.
He has this reel of film, and it's just all the kisses.
It's the most beautiful... Anyway, a film that I love, and this is the soundtrack.
