The movie started of very dull, with Mario talking to his father about going to America or getting a new job other than fishing. However, after this part of the movie, the movie got better, and more engaging. Mario went to the postal office to get a job, and then he learned, that he would be giving mail to the great poet Pablo Neruda. From then on, until the end the movie got better. Then, when Mario died it was very sad. However, it made the movie good by putting emotion into it: and by making the audience feel closer to Mario and Beatrice. Therefore, overall I thought it was a good movie.
In this movie, thei were many themes about class. One of them was the fact that Pablo Neruda thought that the poor people were the most important. For example, in one of the newspapers, Pablo wrote a quote that read like this. "I was happy in Italy, where I led a simple life, with simple people." Pablo thought that there should be no true distinctions between classes. He thought that everyone should be equally treated, this is the reason that he could befriend Mario and not feel subconscious about it.
This movie also has many themes about love. In this movie, it shows love between two friends, and romantic love. The movie shows how friends love each other, but also how there are problems in relationships between two friends. For example, after Mario's wedding, Pablo offers Mario money to help him while he has no job. It shows that Pablo really cares about Mario's well-being. However, Pablo does not talk to Mario for five years, or even write a letter to him. This shows that Mario and Pablo's relationship had problems. This movie shows romantic love, by showing how Mario pursued Beatrice and spent time writing poetry, and metaphors about her. It then showed how she began to love him after he spent time with her. I think this is saying, for romantic love to work, two people must spend time together.
This movie also had many themes about poetry. One of the most important things that Pablo said about poetry, is that it is banal, if it has to be explained. Pablo spoke about poetry, as if it were another language that can not be translated. It can only be said the way it was said, and no other way.
These were all themes of this movie, and were all important.
