Don't know much about Italian history. It is not clear what year Neruda visited there, nor what year the Communist Party began to operate in Italy. Seems like 1953.
The film is very beautiful, the island, the coast, the cliff, the church, full of Italian style...
OST is even more beautiful. (The Postman won the Oscar for Best Music in 1995, and I personally like the combination of Spanish guitar + accordion + violin)
and Neruda's poems...
It is necessary to mention the heroine, I don't remember where I saw the film review, saying " It is precisely because of the heroine's 'waves' that "Mario" has the inspiration of a poet to write those tender but moving poems. On the other hand, it is difficult for a type such as Zhang Ziyi to trigger similar inspiration." When I first read this comment, I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but after thinking about it, I couldn't help but agree. Originally, food and color - human nature.
