The First-Year Core.

Here is some information about Il Postino: This showing of the movie Il Postino was played at the beginning of the second semester and was required for all CORE students to attend at the Neils Science Center. Why was this required for us to attend? We watched this movie during the Love section of our Core class. This movie helped us to identify the four types of love the C.S. Lewis talks about in the four loves. Mario has a friendship love with his companion, Pablo Neruda. He has a eros type of love with Beatrice, and an attachment type love with his passion towards becoming a poet someday. Mario also had a type of love with his country that grew with his awareness of the beauty that surrounded him. In class dicussions we talked about the love that was within this film and came to these conclusions. Here's a summary to help you get an understanding of what this is all about: Here is a list of sites leading to Il Postino:
