Finally, by accident, I bought "The Postman", also known as "The Courtship Affair in Advance", the film tells the story of the Chilean poet Neruda during his exile in Italy, and met Mali, who greatly admired the poet. Oh, Mario also learned some ways to write poetry from Neruda, such as metaphors. Later, Neruda ended his exile and returned to his motherland, almost forgetting Mario, but Mario still supported the poet, and even in a scene During the riots, innocent people were beaten to death for reciting poetry. I don't know if this is a true story, but it looks so real, and together with Mario's death and the trampling of poetry, it's almost a metaphor for this era.
This is a 1994 film. In addition to paying homage to Neruda, what's worse is that everything it alludes to has come completely and inevitably. The so-called death of a poet, after all, Mario in the film, in my opinion, is more poetic than Neruda.
I've wanted to watch this movie for a long time and never had the chance. I always thought it was a simple postman movie. In my opinion, postman is one of the most challenging professions in the world. He asks you to endure a strong curiosity, you have a lot of letters, a lot of secrets, but you are not allowed to peep, it seems very difficult to me. Of course, after watching the film, I understand that the so-called postman is just an excuse. Mario brings a letter from a far-off country to the poet. The poet also brought him a world of poetry composed of metaphors. This world of poetry was a better world for Mario, a world he voluntarily went to, a world where he could never come back. . Or at all, a worse world.
A more tragic reflection of the film in the real world is that the actor Novare died of a heart attack less than 12 hours after the last shot of the film was completed at the age of 41. For the sake of the film, he postponed the heart transplant operation, but he still didn't have time. No wonder he always felt that his lips were too pale when watching the film. It turned out to be on this. It's not worth it for him, and it's irreversible even if it's not worth it. Fortunately, this is finally a good movie.
And thanks to Novare, he played really well, his eyes were so good, the way he looked at Neruda, we knew that he was going to drown in poetry. Italy has no shortage of beautiful men, but beauty alone is nothing, Novare is still pure and gentle, with a little bit of the cunning and naive of Shifu, which is not very annoying, I still feel regretful, he really left a little early.
The actresses in the film are also beautiful. Southern Europeans are always born well. In addition to this role, Gusinatta plays a woman who can also be moved by poetry. how nice. Nowadays, people who write poetry can't catch up with girls, and girls don't eat that way. So when I saw a love story about a poet in the film, I felt very envious, but also felt very hopeless.
Of course, the film is full of tender moments, but the so-called poetic imagery is just to enhance the appeal of the narrative. To put it bluntly, this is a film that slips into the spirit of tragedy from the bottom of my heart. It can't start with a good ending, otherwise it will achieve a satire of reality in a larger sense, a dead end for a poetic world composed of metaphors, and finally, there is nothing left. So, with "The Postman," a film that, in a sense, we are not very willing to admit, is so beautiful, so real, and almost cruel.
