The latter goes to war and Corelli continues to live in the house, a mutual attraction beginning to grow between the two. It is annoying that the movie starts and ends where Pelagia’s father quotes the “gods”. The movie opens with the power of God to heal criticized on a feast common to Greeks. When a sick man seems to be healed, it’s a totally “psychological phenomenon” the father says. Others say, “it’s a setup”. Why is it so hard for them to see that Jesus is the healer of all wounds? But soon we find out that she is too emotional in her acts. She loses her feelings for Mandras while waiting for his return and quickly falls in love with Corelli. Corelli is a happy Italian guy who cares nothing about the war, lives in fornication, and manages to conduct an opera in the mean time.

Mandras also surprisingly saves Corelli’s life, but admits later that he did it so that Pelagia would love him again. And Corelli does return for Pelagia after quite some time (years), though Pelagia did not wish to wait for Mandras. The bottom line—what started between Corelli and Pelagia is pure emotion, not true love. Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) / Corelli Kapitany Man 2001. Runtime: 2 hrs 11 mins.
