\"allegro_non_troppo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was chuffed beyond belief when earlier this week I discovered that Italian animator\/director Bruno Bozzetto had linked on his Facebook wall to a story I posted three years ago about his 1977 movie “Allegro Non Troppo.” He posted the link<\/a> to our original blog, which we were forced to abandon in January because of issues with WordPress hosting.<\/p>\n

The story<\/a> was about how I saw this movie when I was in a hospital with a really high fever and I couldn’t remember anything about it except for the dinosaur scene, which was done to Ravel’s “Bolero.” It took me nearly 20 years to stumble on this movie again, I had almost completely forgotten about it.<\/p>\n

Well, I wrote about this in 2011, and Bruno discovered it. Here is what he wrote on Facebook (with bad Bing translation):<\/p>\n

Toccanti parole, scoperte casualmente in un blog, grazie alle quali ti dici che \u00e8 valsa la pena di vivere..<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Which, translated means:<\/p>\n

\n
\u00a0Touching words, discovered accidentally in a blog, thanks to which you say is worth it to live …:)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bruno later left a comment on the old blog:<\/p>\n

Dear Haruko, your story touched my heart and I’m glad I can thank you directly here for your beautiful words. I hope you can read this post because this means a lot to me !<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here are some of the comments on Facebook, with bad translations:<\/p>\n

quanto di buono c’\u00e9 in noi viene sempre letto dal cuore, da ogni cuore (<\/span>how much good there is in us is always read from the heart, from every heart:) )
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

che storia!!!! (<\/span><\/span><\/span>that story!!!!)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Capita Che storia! Dovresti davvero contattarla! Ciao (What happens to the story! You really should contact her!)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Che bella storia! Anzi, che bel brano di vita… davvero d\u00e0 un senso alla vita e a tanto lavoro <\/span><\/span><\/span>What a beautiful story! \ud83d\ude42 (Indeed, what a beautiful life song … really gives a meaning to life and much work:-)<\/span> )<\/span><\/p>\n

Una meraviglia di racconto. Un abbraccio (<\/span><\/span><\/span>A marvel of story. A hug)<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Veramente una soddisfazione che premia una vita! Condivido.. (<\/span><\/span><\/span>Truly a satisfaction that rewards a lifetime!)
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"allegronontroppo3\"<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anyway, I’m honestly humbled Bruno Bozzetto found my blog post and was touched by it. What a sweet, kind man. I honestly did not realise he was even still alive (he is also younger than I realised –76).<\/p>\n

Here is the Dinosaur scene from Allegro Non Troppo, you can’t get it on YouTube (YouTube quickly takes it down):<\/p>\n
