A Música do Silêncio

Good story of the discovery of Andrea Bocelli, his youth, the "formative years," and his rise to music fame. There are gaps in the story, so we don't get everything that gets him from one place to another, but we can read between the scenes.

I'm not a fan of opera, and I don't know if I ever will. But this movie still had emotional moments, good acting from certain characters, and a great soundtrack (probably the best part). So why does this have 0% on Rotten Tomatoes?! It's honestly understandable if you didn't like this movie; there are actually a lot of flaws in this movie (some 1-dimensional characters, bad acting from most characters, etc.) but a 05 is a bit overdoing it, imo. But honestly, it's just a website. It's a decent film, imo, and an even better film if you enjoy Amos.

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.

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.

Yes, I confess to being an ardent Bocelli fan for the past 20 years. However, I thought that all the actors, especially that of the lead, performed their characters very well, and it was interesting to see the struggles of his early life. Andrea did not achieve real success until his late 30's, which is unusual in the music industry. A must for all his fans.
