Yesterday I to saw a movie at the Honolulu Academy Arts called “RED LIKE THE SKY (ROSSO COME IL CIELO).” The movie was a part of the Italian Film Festival that they are having here in Honolulu. It is based on a true story about a boy named Mirco and his experience with becoming blind. At first it is difficult for him to adjust to his loss of sight, but throughout the movie we see how  losing one sense makes him appreciate and utilize all of his other senses. It was an inspiring story of the human spirit showing that anything is truly possible. As it turns out, Mirco had a talent for manipulating different sounds and eventually became one of the best cinematic sound editors in Italy.

This movie struck a chord with me because I use to live in Italy for a while and it just reminded me of the people and the culture and the lifetsyle over there. But I think they are showing about six more movies at the Doris Duke Theatre at the Academy of Arts and  would recommend anybody to go check it out.
