The Music of Silence

A strongly recommended film especially for those looking for an alternative to action-driven films with little substance. This is quite a drama tough so be ready for some tears or emotional moments.

Bocelli's lifestory is tough and makes quite an underdog story. For me, the drama was created and elevated by the relationship of Bocelli with four women these being his mother/primary school teacher/maestro's wife and his wife. These talented actors bring such a force of life into the film that I wish I could watch more of them in other films.

And the maestro, I never knew Banderas could be such an accomplished actor as I always took him for a showy pop actor. I was mistaken. It would be great to see him in more classical roles.

Stirring to heart and soul, this recounting of the aspects of a child, youth, teen, and adult overcoming hardship unimaginable will leave you full! I am so glad that I found this on Netflix. Pure satisfaction.

Music Of Silence chronicles the life of world famous opera singer Andrea Boccelli, from his beginning as a singer in Italian piano bars to his phenomenal success on the world stage. The film features magnificent panoramic scenery of Boccelli's native Tuscany and a superb musical score, as well as, first rate performances by a fine cast. It is a must see for fans of Boccelli, and opera music in general.

This is not a concert nor an authentic Italian movie experience. This is, however, a remarkable Americanized version of Amos'/Andre's struggles and triumphs in his early life. A must see for fans...and an inspirational story for all.

I don't understand some critics including those from magazines like Variety. Okay, this is not an arthouse movie, not even a mainstream one, but the story of a famous singer told in this way for better or for worse. In my opinion, a film that tells the story of the famous singer avoiding any exaggeration in a simple but correct way. This is what matters most of all. A movie to see.
