The old poet met a young part-time postman who was full of infinite reverence for the poet and wanted to learn to write poetry with him. The postman met the woman who made him fall in love, he asked the poet for help, and the two were soon married. The poet left Italy for his native Chile.
The poet forgets the postman, but the postman never forgets the poet. He recorded the beautiful gifts of Italy to the poet with the tape recorder left by the poet: first, the waves, small; second, the waves, big; third, the wind on the cliff; fourth, the wind in the bushes The fifth, the sad fishing net of the father; the sixth, the church bell, the priest; the seventh, the sky full of stars at night; the eighth, the heartbeat of the little baby in the wife's womb.
When the poet finally remembered to return to the Italian island to see the old people, he heard these recordings left by the postman during his lifetime.
We must all watch the movie from the perspective of the postman. Perhaps it is impossible to imagine that the poet will forget the postman after returning to China. However, this novel is written from the perspective of a poet, and this film is undoubtedly a tribute to the poet. You can see the admiration for the poet by more than a dozen American film stars, including Sting, Glenn Close, Ethan Hawke, Madonna, Julia Roberts, etc. They read his works full of emotion, and these verses seem to be in their lives. occupies an extremely important position.
And it was at that age... Poetry arrived
in search of me. I don't know. I don't know where
it came from, from winter of a river.
I don't know how or when.
no, they were not voices, they were not
words, nor silence,
but from a street I was summoned,
from the branches of night,
abrupty from the others,
among violent fires
or returning alone,
there I was without a facd
and it touched me.
-Pablo Neruda
