	Captain Corelli's Mandolin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Captain Corelli's Mandolin is a novel by Louis de Bernières.
		It is a love story about an Italian captain (Antonio Corelli) and the daughter (Pelagia) of the local physician (Dr. Iannis) on the island of Cephallonia, and set against the background of the Italian/German occupation of the island during World War II.
		A movie version of Captain Corelli's Mandolin was released in 2001, with Nicolas Cage as the Italian Captain Corelli, John Hurt as Dr Iannis, and Penélope Cruz as his daughter, Pelagia.

	Filmtracks: Captain Corelli's Mandolin (Stephen Warbeck)
		Captain Corelli's Mandolin: (Stephen Warbeck) Working together once again, composer Stephen Warbeck and director John Madden, who were awarded Academy Awards for film and score for their 1998 Shalespeare in Love, have set out on a rather unusual course of action for their latest collaboration, Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
		Mandolins as a supplemental tool of ethnicity for a large orchestra are fine, but on their own for entire cues is too much to handle.
		Instead, they rely on the delicate emotions of their mandolin, guitar, and woodwind solos to convey the love story trying to assert itself against the backdrop of world war.

	Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001): Nicolas Cage, Penelope Cruz, Christian Bale, John Hurt - PopMatters Film Review
		The Captain and his men are dispatched to the paradisical Greek isle of Cephallonia in 1940, where they are supposed to secure the perimeter, or something like that.
		Corelli, it turns out, is not only a captain, he's the official translator, able to speak Greek and German as well as his ostensibly native Italian.
		The fact that Captain Corelli's Mandolin premieres in LA and all the ET and Access Hollywood reporters can come up with are a few red carpet shots of the stars and their new squeezes, well, that's just dull.

	Captain Corelli's Mandolin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Serene and beautiful, Captain Corelli's Mandolin is a passionate tale of romance and war set on a grand, yet intimate scale.
		Madden's reworking of Captain Corelli's Mandolin moves easily and expertly between joviality and serious devastation, as we explore the effects these have on both the physical landscape and the human spirit; the deterioration of Mandras being an underplayed but highly significant marker of this.
		Captain Corellis Mandolin is a humble, honest love story but has all the unfortunate pitfalls of a novel dramatisation, this particular text being so tightly woven that it has proved difficult to unpick.

	Moviehole.net - Captain Corellis Mandolin
		Captain Corelli (Cage) is one of these very men, who under certain orders must be accommodated in the doctor's home, much to the disgust of Pelagia.
		In a twist of event that can only be described as ruthless, Captain Corelli is badly injured, needing immediate medical care something both father and daughter can offer.
		For Corelli and Pelagia to hold such a great love for one another I would expect there to be more personal interaction and moments between the two, something that was unfortunately deficient.

		One Italian officer, Captain Corelli, adopts an attitude of mutual co-existence with the Greeks and engages in such activities as music festivals and courting the daughter of a local doctor.
		That attitude is most generously embodied by Captain Corelli (Nicolas Cage), who is instantly drawn to the Greek beauty Pelagia (Penélope Cruz) despite her engagement to Mandras (Christian Bale), a resistance fighter whose absence leaves Pelagia needy for affection.
		Captain Corelli's Mandolin is a visually gorgeous and emotionally rich story of the beautiful Greek island of Cephallonia and its people during WWII.

	Arts Today - 23/08/2001: Captain Corellis Mandolin
		But Corelli is a much more complicated and sophisticated character and I never believed Cage in the role for a minute.
		Corelli, even the film Corelli, is written as a man who is passionate about music and pleasure, and scornful of politics, who has a sense of humour, even a sense of his own ridiculousness.
		Although I am a bit biased since, as a child, my mother experienced the circumstances behind Captain Corelli's Mandolin, I must say that I was surprised not to hear any mention of Oscar nominations for the film.

		And for Corelli and Pelagia, it becomes increasingly difficult to negotiate the minefield of allegiances, both personal and political, as all around them atrocities mount, former friends become enemies and the ugliness of war infects everyone it touches.
		Captain Corelli's Mandolin works on many levels, as a love story, a war story and a deconstruction of just what determines the facts that make it into the history books.
		Captain Corelli turns out to be an accomplished musician, and for a while the war seems to suit them well.

	Reviews - Captain Corellis Mandolin
		When Corelli, a cultivated man with an irrepressibly jovial personality, whose favourite possession is his mandolin, falls in love with the beautiful Pelagia (Cruz), one knows that trouble is on the way.
		With him gone, the relationship between Corelli and Pelagia grows stronger and stronger, and as the people of the village begin to accept him as part of their lives, so does she.
		But even though Corelli's love for Pelagia, and his fondness for the villagers, begin to make him doubt his very reasons for being there, the war comes much closer to home and the two lovers must make their most difficult choices, choices between their countries, their families and their lovers.

		Pelagia and her father find themselves housing Italian Captain Corelli, who loves music and is charming.
		At the time of release there was plenty of dating couple who went to see this film and there was also a boost in the tourist trade in Greece, accompanied by lots of television travel programmes talking about the islands and the film.

		Captain Corelli's Mandolin is set in the early days of the second world war, before Benito Mussolini invaded Greece.
		In Captain Corelli's Mandolin one common prejudice is addressed: You cannot judge by nationality.
		Corelli's excuse is just too feeble, it really disappointed me. On the other hand, you (meaning the young reader) could learn from this and it might help to make sure that you never loose years of your life.

	Captain Corelli's Mandolin
		Cage, the second thing to get over is his character; Capt. Corelli is one of those jovial Italians that has the swagger of a man who lives life to the fullest—good wine, beautiful women, but especially, good music.
		The Italian officers are billeted with different families and Capt. Antonio Corelli (Cage), leader of an artillery unit, is sent to stay with Pelagia and her father, who only agrees if the Italians give him medicine for his patients.
		It is hate at first sight for Pelagia; she resents the Italians, who all act like they're on holiday, and resents Capt. Corelli especially for being in her home, for being nice to the children, for playing his mandolin.

		Winner of the Commonwealth Writers Prize in 1995, Corelli's Mandolin follows for sixty years the life of Pelagia and those who love her, beginning in World War II, when she and her father, a doctor on the small Greek island of Cephalonia, first get drawn into the war.
		Corelli, whose response to "Heil, Hitler" was once "Heil, Puccini," is a musician, a mandolin player, who quickly establishes a singing group (meeting in the company's latrines) in preference to waging war.

		Set on the Greek island of Cephallonia during WW2, the local inhabitants of this remote island have their peace shattered when the island is invaded by Italian troops, though they seem more concerned with enjoying the beach and the local hospitalities then doing any fighting.
		Captain Corelli is among the Italian troops, a good man who believes in peace and friendship; he begins to fall in love with a local woman, Pelagia.
		But their peace is shattered when the Germans take over the occupation of the island and the full horrors of war are brought to Cephallonia.

	CANOE -- JAM! Movies - Captain Corellis Mandolin Review - Mandolin needs some tuning
		The Los Angeles premiere of Captain Corelli's Mandolin turned into a Hollywood freak show this week as the paparazzi descended on the venue like storm troopers.
		What that did was obscure the reason all of them were there: To introduce English director John Madden's quaint World War II romance set on an idyllic Greek island occupied by Mussolini's opera-loving Italian troops in the 1940s.
		While the big picture is getting relaxed, Corelli (played with overacting, scenery-chewing, mandolin-playing gusto by Cage) is falling in love with a local Greek woman (Cruz) who is the daughter of a doctor (John Hurt).

		When the Italians are sent to the island, the soldiers are billeted with the hostile locals, but as it transpires, a certain camaraderie forms between the two factions, the Greeks coming to accept the invaders in their midst, and the Italians more interested in wine and women than in subjugating the locals.
		Captain Corelli and his mandolin end up at Dr Iannis’ home, much to Pelagia’s annoyance, since she has to sleep on the kitchen floor while the Captain uses her room.
		It’s as if one has lived among these people during their time of crisis, learned some of their language, found out about their life-styles and customs.

	Captain Corellis Mandolin - movie review
		While not violent by nature, Corelli and his men haven't experienced any action during the war and they seem content to fool around on the beach all day, singing to their hearts content whenever possible.
		Mandras approaches Corelli with news that the Allies are about to invade Italy and the Germans, who are also on the island, will not let the Italians go home alive, so they should join forces before events get out of hand.
		What seems to let the movie down is that Corelli comes across as a fun-loving buffoon and the way Pelagia falls for Corelli is not convincing enough.

		Warbeck, who won an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love, his previous collaboration with director John Madden, wrote parts of the score before shooting began, then recorded other pieces so the film could be edited to the music.
		During the film of Captain Corelli's Mandolin, there are two things you notice as wou watch: the amazing scenery and the beautiful music.
		"Pelagia's Song", played on the mandolin, is by far the stand-out piece from the film, but any customer to purchase this album will not be disappointed.
