hey.. it's also beautiful!

i wonder why everyone is insulting this movie.. i think it's a great movie with a beautiful cinematography.. and about the dubbing, i watched this movie in italian with english subtitles, so there's nothing wrong with it.. then the storyline, indeed it's not like "the usual pinocchio that you've known", but for me that's the interesting point, the story is a little bit different and we need more imagination in watching the movie since it's lack of special effects, so our imagination is tested, and that's what interesting.. i think it's more like an artistic movie.. in conclusion, benigni has done a great job and pinocchio is not a "hollywood movie", so watch it..
