      love in war

      For many Chinese people, the image of World War II is fixed on the Anti-Japanese War, the image of Nasui is fixed on the Japanese devils, and the image of the Japanese is fixed on the Nanjing Massacre. So, seeing how the Italian army is getting along with the inhabitants of the island of

      Severonia , it is absurd.

      The Chinese war films in my impression are basically "Water Margin" style, and the interpretation of war is basically "people's". Therefore, it is difficult for us...

      Everyone is handsome when they are young

      Why didn't Penelope hang out with Christian Bale?
      He is loyal, tolerant, patient, and righteous.
      He even saved his wife's lover.
      He organized a counterattack.
      He matured silently.
      He was stoically silent.
      Although he also condone the abuse.
      Probably because it's a love movie.
      Therefore, love is destined to transcend all barriers and overcome all obstacles.
      Invincible against me, no matter when.
      Even they, Greeks, Italians, or Germans, speak...

      It's fate to meet a movie

      This movie made me meet Cage. The best movies on the movie channel have an appointment to watch, very touching love, very beautiful Italian music. The Aegean Sea in the movie, in the context of war, is still so blue that it hurts. The music in the movie is the finishing touch to the love of war. At the end, Cage's confession, it turns out that the more you want to forget a person, the more you can't let go, because that person has been engraved in your heart, and you must find her back. . ....

      When the raging fire burns out... all that's left is love

      Originally, because I hated Penelope, I never allowed myself to watch such a movie, even if it was a love movie starring Cage, who I liked very much. Starting from HEAD IN THE CLOUDS, I found that this Spanish woman, who I always felt was earthy and fierce, had a special charm. She was indeed local, but she was strong and persistent. At a special moment, she showed the gentleness of Spanish wildness, making her The man couldn't resist, and gradually understood the reason why the beautiful and...

      "Captain's Mandolin"

      "Captain's Mandolin" is the first name I know, the beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean Sea, the captain seems to have escaped into the paradise, I still remember him playing the mandolin and speaking briskly.
          After the fire of the war spread, I knew that the ending was the same, and it became the dust of history just like the person I loved. It was dull for a long time at that time, but I was unhappy
          that I accepted the death caused by the war, but I always hoped that...

    Movie plot

It is picturesque and has a pleasant climate. It is pure and peaceful like an idyllic poem. They have lived here for generations. They have nothing to do with the world, are simple and kind, and live a simple and traditional life. However, such a beautiful island could not be...

    Movie quotes

    • Corelli: [upon first seeing Pelagia] Bella bambina at two o'clock!

    • Iannis: [writing to Corelli] Antonio, I do not know if this letter will reach you, or even if you are alive. Perhaps someone else sent your record, and that is why we found no note. I would like to say that Pelagia is happy, but she is full of tears she will not let fall, and of a grief no doctor can mend. She blames herself for the pain we have suffered, and perhaps the same is true for you. You know I am not a religious man, but I believe this: if there is a wound, we must try to heal it. If there is someone whose pain we can cure, we must search till we find them. If the gods have chosen that we should survive, it will be for a reason.

      [the great earthquake strikes]

    • Pelagia: Why did you save him? Why didn't you leave him to die?

      Mandras: I wanted you to love me again.

      [Pulls out 100 letters]

      Mandras: In Albania, I made them read every one of these to me... 'Mandras, I love you,' 'Mandras, I want you,' 'Mandras, when are you coming back?' And then one day, a different letter. 'I don't know how to describe my feelings. It's as if I have been waiting a hundred years to hear from you, waiting a hundred years for you to return. Once, my heart was overflowing with love for you, but now all I feel is emptiness. And I think it was all just a pretense, that I never loved you at all.'
