In the movie Il Postino, it expresses love, class and poetry. I liked this movie, it taught a story of friendship and the importance of making your wishes come true. Parts of the movie remind me of Romeo and Juliet, just as in the play, Beatrix’s mother forbids her and Mario to see each other. Later in the movie, after the two lovers get married, Mario dies.

            There are many types of love in the video. It expresses patriotism, friendship, romantic, lust, and family love. You could say one of the themes is “you don’t appreciate something until it is gone”, because when Pablo leaves Mario with his wife, and after Mario passes away, Pablo becomes very melancholy and goes to the many places where they spent time together to reminisce.

            In the movie, the rich people wore light colors and the poor people wore dark colors. This is an example of class, and how the richer people felt they were more important than everyone else. A theme for class could be “don’t judge a book by its cover”. This would come into play when Mario stands up for what he believes in and shows the politicians that even though he is not as wealthy, he is able to read and write.

            There are many points of view and various opinions for poetry, but there is one thing in common with all poetry, a meaning and the motivation to write it.  for example, when Mario thought he couldn’t write poems to his love, Pablo kept helping him and making him try harder to do it.

This was a nice review of the movie and the themes. I really liked how you compared Mario and Beatrix to Romeo and Juliet. You should probably add some quotes from the movie, but besides that I really liked this.
