I listened to Mr. Dai's class earlier, "The Postman" has no resources until recently.
After reading it for the first time, I was deeply moved by the innocence of the male protagonist, the meaningful life realized by exiled poets, and the poems he left to introduce his hometown.
Then, after listening to Dai Ye's explanation. Know the story of "The Postman" star, screenwriter and co-director Massimo Trosi.
Massimo Trosi Massimo (1953-1994) was an Italian comedy star who created many of his favorite comedy characters on film and television. However, he himself has always longed for a work that truly belongs to him. His definition of this work is: real, touching and touching.
When he read a novel called "Burning Patience", he bought the film adaptation rights without hesitation. Massimo invited his friend, British director Michael Radford, to adapt the novel into a film. And disregarding his heart disease, he postponed the long-arranged heart transplant operation. In the case of extremely poor heart condition, he filmed the film and acted as the director and starring. The film was shot at breakneck speed, and less than 12 hours after the final shot, Massimo suffered a heart attack and died shortly after, not seeing his film in theaters.
This is the work of his life at the age of 41. I can understand that the male protagonist's weakness and low voice in the movie are all for a reason.
Different from the friendship, warmth, love, poetry, equality... that other viewers feel, this movie has a powerful force for me, which is the life that ordinary Mario is constantly looking for. Searching is not a meaning, nor a purpose, nor a mission, but innate, in what I see, in what I am, and in what I do. So, at the age of 17, he didn't like being a fisherman like his father. He found a job as a postman. He sent letters to a famous exiled to the island. He felt strong emotions from the poet's works. Feeling the culture from the poet's daily life, he also became a poet in his lover's heart through the expression of falling in love with a woman, and he left a poem of his beloved hometown, just as in the movie he was in a political He died unexpectedly during the activity; in real life, through the film, at the end of his young life, he finally delivered a life work that met his requirements: it was truly his own, real, touching, and straight to the point. of the human heart - of his own.
So, let me come and tell you with my voice what my hometown looks like:
"First, the sound of the waves in the bay, soft;
Second, the waves, loud;
Third, the sound of the wind passing over the cliff;
Fourth, the sound of the wind sliding through the bushes;
Fifth, Dad's sad sound of fishing nets;
Sixth, the church bells;
Seventh, the sky full of stars on the island, I have never felt the beauty of the sky;
Eighth, the heartbeat of my son Pabito. "
Ordinary like me, I hope to have a work that truly belongs to me in my lifetime.
