"Your Smile Spreads Like a Butterfly"

We, rather I, just finished watching Il Postino. Recently, I took up reading Neruda again, so it seemed like a good time to watch it. It was a really sweet movie about a naive postman learning more about himself through his friendship with Neruda and Neruda's poetry. My favorite part of the movie is when Mario makes the recording of all the beautiful things on the island to help Neruda remember him and the island. In a way, it was his own poem, much like Neruda's odes. I'm bright, aren't I? :) It's not one of my absolute favorite movies, but it's worth watching. If you like Life is Beautiful, it's a movie for you.
