The first theme for Il Postino is that love is faithful. I say this because through out the movie, everyone in a way sort of stayed 'faithful' to each other. For example Beatrice stayed faithful to Mario during their courtship. She could have gone with the other man who was writing her poems, but she didn’t, even though he was probably richer. She also stayed faithful to Mario after he died because she didn’t really go off and marry someone else. Another example would be how Mario stayed faithful to Pablo. When everyone else said that he forgot about them Mario didn’t believe it. He knew Pablo really did care about them and didn’t let anyone elses thoughts phase that.
The second theme for Il Postino would be everyone, no matter where they come from, can be friends. I say this because Mario and Pablo are both from different classes, but they became great friends. We know they're from different classes because of the way they dress and also based on where they love and their occupations. Mario came from a family of fishermen and he is a delivery man. He also dresses in darker colors. Pablo is a poet, and usually he wears very light colors. He also has better living conditions. Mario and Pablo come from two different worlds but they managed to become great friends.
The third theme would have to be that poetry lives in everyone. Mario is your average Joe and no one would've guessed that he would be able to write poetry. But they soon find out that he is in fact a very talented poet. At the beginning he didn’t even know what a metaphor was, but later on he manged to win the heart of the girl of his dreams with metaphors.
I kind of did like this movie. I liked the messages it was trying to send through, but I didnt like its slow pace. I think it would be a pretty good movie if they remade it, and also if they made Mario more attractive. Also I think it would've been easier to pay attention if the movie was in English. But overall it was a good movie.
