During World War II, on the Greek island of Severonia occupied by the Italian-German Allied Forces, Captain Corelli fell in love with the local girl Peregia, but Peregia's fiance, Mandras, was fighting outside. Captain Corelli loves life and music. Every day, besides singing operas with his subordinates, he plays his mandolin that never leaves him. But the love between the Italians Corelli and Peregia was not accepted by the locals, and Mandelas became angry when he returned home. The Italian-German Allied forces clashed as they retreated, and Captain Corelli's men were killed by the Germans. In order to avenge the Italians, they were ready to fight back, but they were captured by the Germans and shot to death. Captain Corelli was blocked by his companions and was only seriously injured, and was rescued by Mandela and others. After the recovery, Captain Corelli returned to Italy, and before leaving, he said goodbye to Peregia in tears. A heartbroken Peregia asked Mandela: Why did you save him? Mandela replied: I hope you can fall in love with me again...
if the story ends here I would consider it a moving film. But the ending arranged by the director made me a little disappointed. Peregia and Mandela didn't know, Corelli suddenly returned to the island a few years later and said to Peregia: I tried to live without you, but found that I couldn't. The finale is that the island returns to its usual calm, and people live happily ever after...
vulgar, too vulgar! As a result, I swallowed all the tears I had prepared. The love described in the film is all too abstract and too abstract, without any foreshadowing and transition. I almost didn't see it when Peregia and Mandela fell in love, or what Peregia said to her father later. As for Mandela's return, I thought he was going to fight the captain, but in the end he actually rescued his rival. And it's even more incredible that he and Peregia broke up. Peregia said: sorry! He walked away quietly after that, and was never seen again.
This film has made a lot of adaptations to the original work, but since it has been adapted, it will be finished. Faced with such a deeply affectionate fiance Peregia, there is only one sentence: sorry! But after N years, Captain Corelli came back and said casually that I couldn't live without you, which moved her to tears. Very fake, okay? If you want to come back, why don't you come back early? Why is it taking so long? And you even thought about not coming back! Or when the captain left, you could say that I will definitely come back to find you, which also gave Peregia a reason to wait! The results of it? Too fake, too fake!
The people in the film speak inexplicable English, and it stands to reason that the people on the island should speak Greek, while the garrison speaks German and Italian, but since you made the film in English, just let the actors speak English well Well, it made people feel very uncomfortable. It is estimated that the actors were also very depressed, and the effect was also very general, which seemed very contrived.
Tragedy is touching because it can leave people with endless regrets and a little sigh, so that the audience can cherish the current life while lamenting the fate of the people in the film. It would be a lot better if the film could delve into the sins of war and the hypocrisy of human nature, rather than just stay on the level of leaving a Hollywood-style finale!
