《Captain Corelli's Mandolin》(柯莱利上尉的曼陀林) 2001
电影改编自英国著名作家路易斯·德·伯尔涅斯在1993年的同名畅销小说，《诺丁山》里面有个镜头就是休.格兰特在读这本书。影片由曾执导过《莎翁情史》的约翰·麦登担任导演,拍摄地点是小说描述的故事发生地，忧郁兼优雅王子尼古拉斯.凯奇饰演上尉柯莱利，风情万种的希腊姑娘佩拉吉娅由西班牙美人克鲁兹出演。
二战中,希腊如田园牧歌般美丽的塞弗伦尼亚岛（Cephallonia）被意德联军队接管。看似玩世不恭的意军上尉克莱利(corelli)被安排到颇有名望的医生Iannis家落脚。在与其美貌与智慧俱佳的女儿佩雷吉娅(Pelagia)一来二去的冲突中,柯莱利上尉与佩雷吉娅内心碰出了火花。然而"快乐总是短暂的,换来的只是无穷无尽的悲哀和长叹",佩雷吉娅加入游击队的未婚夫的执著,小岛居民责难的议论和眼光,意德同盟关系的破裂,民族的仇恨,多角恋的纠缠以及战争的残酷等等这一切让两人天隔一方,杳无音讯...
电影的结尾是佩雷吉娅与父亲在历经地震后终于迎来了魂牵梦绕的柯莱利,但据说小说里的情节是两人直到风烛残年之时才得以重逢,其时柯莱利已是颇有名望的音乐家,而风情万种的佩雷吉娅则孤独至老，终身未嫁。
这部电影的成功主要在于剧情和角色塑造.复杂的时代背景和沉重的历史车轮让原本简单的爱情故事变得厚重沧桑,这是剧情的成功.而人物塑造方面,看似玩世不恭的柯莱利上尉背后对音乐和生活的热爱与真诚,佩雷吉娅美丽的仪表优雅的舞姿背后执著坚韧果断的个性,曼德拉斯看似粗犷的外表莽撞的个性下的痴情与宽容,弱不经风的医生平静外表下的睿智对世事深刻的洞察,以及德军军官的严肃古板、对爱情的渴望、对异族盟友的残暴、在军人职责与道义人性间的挣扎,让每个角色都给人留下了深刻印象.
影片结尾处,Iannis医生不忍看着女儿受苦,给杳无音讯的柯莱利写了一封信,后者正是靠着此信重返小岛:
I would like to say that Pelagia is happy, but she is full of tears that she will not let fall, and of a grief that no doctor can mend.
She blames herself for the pain we have suffered, and perhaps the same is true for you.
You know I am not a religious man, but I believe this:
if there is a wound, we must try to heal it;
if there is someone whose pain we can cure, we must search till we find them;
if the gods have chosen that we should survive, it will be for a reason.

吾辈苟存,定有缘由
