When a film completely misunderstands and misrepresents its source material. Not only does the captain return and stay but the doctor survives the earth quake.
I don't find the romantic interests credible. First she falls in love with a brute that she has nothing in common with. Then she falls in love with her enemy - why? Long lustful leering at each other? One women on this island was hung because she consorted with the enemy. Nick Cage doesn't seem like an Italian Captain - and what with that salute and yelling "bella bambina" when he first saw her while his troop was marching - just weird - for a captain. Did she fall in love with his mandolin playing, I would have liked to see better playing or more emotional songs. Otherwise the acting, filming, and scenary was great.
You wouldn't believe it! I have a same Story with a girl. But not in the wonderful greece. In the beautifull brazil! And how Galaxis meet each other so too meet her again, Like Nicolas Cage and Penelope Cruz in this movie!
