In fact, when I saw that the doctor was writing that letter or Paragia found the little girl When she and her father were safe and sound, I thought, the film should be able to end. Because as the doctor said in the letter, God will arrange whether you should survive or not. After all, that beautiful island is peaceful, and those who survived continue to live. This is a relatively satisfactory ending that I can accept. And Paragia received Antonio's record, even if each side still has the other's place in their hearts, that's enough. So in the end, the appearance of Antonio brought me an unexpected little surprise.
The light mandolin song runs through the whole film, and it is accompanied by the untouchable love of Palagia and Antonio. An optimist Italian captain meets a quiet Greek girl, and the two people's lives and ways of thinking are changed in each other's integration. I've always wondered if Palagia had ever loved Mandela. It was not until later, from Palagia's eyes when he saw Antonio playing the mandolin, that he gradually understood that before she met Antonio, Mandela was always the foil and support for her monotonous and lonely life. Tonio opens a door to her inner world, from which she truly understands who can be with her soul. Gradually, I came to recall the Western-style love that is completely different from the soap operas we have seen: it is not love at first sight, nor is it a long-lasting love, but a gentle but strong love that can be born in one look, one action, and one sentence. .
After all, the background of the film is war. Indeed, all causes and conditions start from war. But this war has indeed changed too many people, and there are too many pictures that touch us.
I still remember the woman named Alani, who was in stark contrast to her shyness and the tragic hanging from a tree at the end; I still remember Carlo, the one who finally protected Antonio from the fall, who had previously treated Parra Gia's phrase "I know, he's your world" is forever imprinted in my mind; I still remember Mandela, the young man who frivolously shouted to fight for his homeland, he finally silently told Papa. Ragia said: "I do this, I just hope you fall in love with me again" the kind of desolation... The war was too tragic, it changed not only the way people lived, but all their ideas, Faith, perhaps after the war, began to have a new understanding.
Perhaps it is not important to discuss whether Palagia and Antonio can end up together for a long time, because the film presents much more than that. The sound of the mandolin goes on and on, and gradually we forget those plots, those characters, and begin to think about our own affairs.
