Two Bits of Information
This film is really good. If you like Italian, if you have a touch of sentimentalism in you, if you like Pacino (who doesn’t)& if you’re nostalgic for films about yesteryear (1930’s, The Great Depression), then this one’ll be a treat for you.

Twelve year old Gennaro wants to go to the “air-cooled” La Paloma Movie House. He needs 25 cents but money is hard to come by at this time. The kid is resourceful though. He’s willing to work for his goal. Jobs are scarce & people are dying from lack of food & things they cannot afford like medicine. “Grampa Pacino” is on his death-bed out in the back yard but he ‘can’t die’ until he gets forgiven for something he did decades ago. He gets his grandson to ask the person for forgiveness – THEN he can have the 25 cents.

I really like the closeness of these two characters. I don’t know where this young Jerry Barone (Gennaro) came from but he’s a good actor & he’s handsome. (He could probably play Hispanic, too.) So enjoy a bit of the old country with Two Bits. You’ll be surprised. There’s nothing’ sappy about it. It’s for everyone…

3 Cheers for 2 Bits, 1 Great Movie
This movie is beautifully done. It is one of my favorites. It is a glimpse at another time. It is a movie about values. The whole movie is about one big day in the life of a boy growing up in the depression in Philadelphia and the wisdom his grandfather passes on. It is a touching and rewarding movie. The hopelessness of the depression comes out effectively in the movie. Gennaro and Tullio are just ordinary kids that aren’t perfect. There is an interesting interplay between a child’s honest selfishness and the relationship between wanting and needing. Pacino: “Your heart wants, your belly needs.” Wanting is good because it requires hope. Many touching lines between Pacino (grandfather) and Barone (Gennaro). There is some humor also. Favorite line: Gennaro- “There’s no milk!” See it and find out why I liked that line!
