Don't get close to poetry, it will become unfortunate

The film, titled "The Postman," tells the story of a postman from an Italian island and the Chilean poet Neruda because of his poetry. What is more special is that the title of the film shows the popularity of the famous Neruda. For example, it is not called "One Year with Neruda", "Neruda and Me", and the cover does not even have Neruda's name. It still shows the tonality of his literary film.

The whole movie revolves around the theme of "poetry". I remember watching another Korean movie that is also related to poetry. The name of the movie is "Poetry". Although in the end she chose to end her life.

The similar ending of the protagonists of the two films is actually just a coincidence, and the title is abrupt.

It is not so much that being close to poetry becomes unfortunate, it is that unfortunate people choose poetry. Throughout the ages, successful poets have mostly been frustrated.

    Without Neruda's intrusion, Mario might never know what "metaphor" is, what is "poetry", and perhaps would never have written a line of verse. But this does not mean that poetry is meaningless. Poetry is certainly written by poets, but those beautiful people, beautiful things, and beautiful places are where the poetry really originates. Are these beautiful and moving poems? Poems do not belong to those who write them, but to those who need them.

    The soul-stirring poetry movie, the simple island, the Chilean fugitive poet and the small-town postman interpret a friendship that transcends nationality and class. The belief in communism and the obsession with poetry make this ordinary young man shine in a different light, but it's a pity The ending and reality are very sad.
