The Music of Silence

I started watching expecting to find a self celebrative auto biography with no inspiration, badly acted by italian tv actors. The movie is the transposition of a book by Bocelli on his own life. However the tone is not the one I expected to find. The man did have a difficult life and sometimes caused part of his own problems. Many of the scenes from the childhood are sad. Effective. And natural. The scenery of Tuscany is a valuable actor around those scenes. Some actors (the wife for instance) are not particularly good, but not so terrible either. The teacher, Banderas, was good. In conclusion, the movie is watchable and could quite keep me watching it (and I am not really a Bocelli fan).

The film is a "great to watch". The real life inspired story takes place fully in Italy, but the original language is preferred to be English, most probably for popular purposes.

Wonderful performances !!! All the actors . What a lovely story of a boy to man and all his obstacles . The actress Elena does a great job. I was afraid they hadn't credited her but they call her Eleanor and he calls her Elena. Regardless the film gives hope and the lesson of perseverance. The fight in all of us to overcome our troubles or challenges.

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.

Great inspirational and uplifting film of Italian opera singer, Andrea Bocelli, with some very valuable life lessons - like making positive use of adversity by trusting in God's divine plan.

I enjoyed this film more than I thought I would. I have listened to Andrea Boccelli I do not know much about his life. With that being said I do not know if the film is accurate but it was still great all the way through. I loved the music, the set, the actors. and the storyline overall. I thought the actors did a great job displaying an emotional story. The film made me want to listen to Boccelli again, I had forgotten how amazing his music is. Seeing the story made me understand the struggle and have a better appreciation.

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.
