the postman
And it was at that age-Poetry arrived in search of me. I don't know, I don't know where it comes from, No, they were not voices, they were not words, nor silence, but from a street I was summoned from the branches of night, abruptly from the others, among violent fines or returning alone, there I was without a face, and it touched me. The film concludes with a scrolling Neruda poem, which was given to the last Massimo Troisi who died of a heart failure after Il postino± was finished shooting. Actually my partner and I were very reluctant in giving you this presentation on Il postino±, because the film is just like a poem. We should feel it by heart rather than analyze it through theories. Just like Neruda put it, when you explain it, poetry becomes banal-better than any explain is the experience of feelings that poetry can reveal to a nature open enough to understand it-try and walk slowly along the seashore as far as the bay and around you.± The way Neruda interprets poery is just the way the director interprets film. Indeed, the film leaves us a feeling
Neruda introduces Mario to his world of Poetry. Just like the plain melody, performed by different instrument, with different rhythm, could express so many beautiful emotions. And also, this piece of music symbolizes Mario. Exiled from his homeland, the Chilean communist poet Don Pablo Neruda finds hospitality from his travels and settle down on this small island, where he meets Mario Puppolo, the son of a fisherman who has no intention to follow his father's footstep. Accompanying with the music, is the bright colorful natural view. He awakens the political awareness within Mario and helps him to think about his own value and mission on earth. Special Narrative:There are for places the director uses a kind of flash back to narrate the things happen before. If it were the thought of Neruda to be presented by music, the music should be symphony. Just like the plain melody, performed by different instrument, with different rhythm, could express so many beautiful emotions. Therefore, the director poetized the process of their love. ± His viewpoint is beautifully embodied in this movie. The second one reveals the love between Mario and Beatrice.
