Pavarotti

Anyone seen this film?
Looking at the trailer it looks rather good, he was quite a complex character...might go tomorrow afternoon...

Ruthio, if you go please let us know know what you thought. I have no knowledge of his private life, but his voice can bring tears to me eyes!

That probably means that if he sings a lot, in the film, I will only see the screen through blurred eyes!

Re: Pavarotti

Is this a montage of Pavarotti's performances or a biopic with someone playing the part and voice dubbed over.?

Re: Pavarotti

Well...I thought it was fabulous, I absolutely loved it!

It's a documentary with masses of clips of interviews, live appearances, family and friends, wife and daughters talking, photos...you really feel you get to know him, and what a huge man he was in every sense of the word!
And his smile really lit up the world!
He adored women, was charming, loving, extraordinarily generous and warm hearted.
You even find out why the big white hanky!

I can't recommend this film highly enough, and I cried buckets!

I even understand now all the football stuff which i remember irritated me at the time.
I thought the Three Tenors concerts cheapened opera, but I don't see it like that anymore.
He had a mission to bring opera to the people, he certainly acheived that.

Go see it!!

Re: Pavarotti

Sounds great, Ruthio. I definitely want to see it now. Thank you for the great review.

Did you ever see him the lovely film "Yes, Georgio"?

It was a little gem. Can you imagine the great Pavarotti having a food fight in the kitchen?

Re: Pavarotti

Still my favourite tenor out of all them. I understand that some of the proceeds are going towards free opera training for youngsters.
