The opposite character is played by Penelope Curz. She is daughter of the local medical doctor in the small village who has the beauty and class.
It is interesting that at the beginning of the movie she falls in love with a local boy who does not appreciates her values and acts like not a grown up person. Right at the beginning they promise to get married in later time after war is finsihed. While her father insists that he is not good for her, because she has to get married to a dentist from Denmark!! or a foreigner from up North country. Later The father says that he thinks that his daughter deserves a man who is knowledgeable, appreciates arts and music as well as her that is what he meant!
There is part that the father tries to write a letter to Capitan Corelli’s Mandoline. He writes the following which I found a good part for the screen writer or the original author of the book. I would credit both.
… I am not a religious man but I believe this:
If there is a wound we must to heal it.
If there is some one who is in pain we can cure, we must search till we find them.
If the gods have chosen that we survived, it will be for a reason…
Overall, a good movie to watch and entertainmenting.
More teddies from Zurich.
