three points of interest

There are three things I like about this movie:
First, Penelope Cruz and Nicolas Cage, two beautiful and powerful actors, the lover relationship they played in it made my appetite. . Penelope Cruz dances very well in it, and Nicolas Cage is more like a man who understands the taste of life and is very human.
Second, at a critical moment, the performance of the mandolin renders a beautiful musical atmosphere for the development of the plot.
The third is the content of the story. The love relationship between men and women is placed in the context of cruel war, and the feeling of separation between life and death makes love feel heart-wrenching, and the plot of giving and waiting for love is exciting, so it also makes love perfect. And after the earthquake, waiting has finally paid off.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin quotes

  • 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.'
