Titolo: Count Corelli's Mandolin

Salve,
Qualcuno ha visto questo film in cui il grand attore di origine italiana,
Nicolas Cage, parla con un accento di Transylvania?
Ciao,

Nicolas Cage, parla con un accento di Transylvania?
LOL
Non e' ancora uscito in Italia (credo?!). Pero' ne ho sentito un
frammento per televisione in cui il nostro eroe espettora un terribile
"Ciaaao, beela baambina" all'indirizzo di (quella trota di) Penelope
Cruz. Credo che la versione originale sia da sganasciarsi (con tutto
il rispetto per una pagina tragica della nostra storia.) Dicci, Ron,
dicci!

Probabilmente è un film di Coppola, e si parla di vampiri . L'ho visto in
dvd in lingua originale. Credo che il titolo fosse dracula o roba del
genere. Se credi che possa essere questo, fammi sapre così ti do notizie piu
dettagliate
See you
Franco

 Quello è cinema !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oibò, mi trovo pienamente d'accordo con il sedicente pappagone.

 Comunque il titolo dovrebbe essere Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
Forse il titolo fosse adatto se avrebbe parlato come un soldato invece di come
un personaggio nel film "John Carpenter's Vampires."

Grazie per l'offerta d'aiuto ma scherzo. Il titolo è Captain Corelli's Mandolin
e sfortunatamente l'ho appena visto.

Ci sono contanti che non riescono a cantare, greci, tedeschi, e italiani che
parlano tutti qualche accento strano dell'inglese, e che si comportano di rado
in modo realistico. Infatti, non ho nulla da dire di buono tranne che mi piace
trota arrostata e inumidita con l'olio d'oliva e cipolla verde.

Yes, I saw that. Unfortunately, I should add. I am very picky about movies,
but I like Cage, and this was a story about Italians. So I went to see it with
some expectations but I was disappointed pretty quickly. I can't comment on 
the accents, but I imagine they sound quite funny. 
If there was a point to the movie, I think I missed it; the general tone was that
of a bad soap opera, and I believe that they went down pretty hard with silly
stereotypes (the Italians more naive than ever, the Germans more bad than
ever). Only the scenery of the Greek island  was good.
There was an Italian movie years ago that was similar in many ways to
Captain Corelli; it was titled "Mediterraneo", but it was so much more 
powerful and expressive than this cheap imitation. If you have a chance to
see it, that is a worth one.

That movie had nothing to tell, but it was quite entertaining; my idea of good
cinema is different,anyway.


 see it, that is a worth one.
I enjoyed that film although the only similarity seems to me to be the
characterization of Italian soldiers as relatively uninterested in war and
(based on a vague memory of something I read) the downplay of the homosexual
characters from the book version.

*This comes from an interesting article on the controversy surrounding the book
on which the movie is based. You might want to read these two pages:

 LA trota arrostata e inumidita con l'olio d'oliva e cipolla verde.
ROTFL
Trota arrostata è bellissimo.
Too bad it's not Italian. : )
Credo tu volessi dire 'trota al forno'.

 Credo tu volessi dire 'trota al forno'.
Neanche la trota arrostita, o la trota arrosta? Vabbè, lo so che si può dire "la
trota arrostita alla griglia," no? In inglese si dice "roasted trout," che è un
po diversa da "grilled trout."

 po diversa da "grilled trout."
Actually it's called baked trout. Although I prefer mine smoked after
all the hard yakka of trying to catch one in the first place.
For some reason the term roasting seems to be confined to red meat
and vegies whereas fish is baked. (all my cookbooks say this) Perhaps
because roast fish conjurs up some hard dry piece of fish leather. I
met a couple who didn't like trout, "too dry", they said, -but they
baked it for 2 hours -no wonder! Their roast beef also was well onto
the way of becoming beef jerky.

 the way of becoming beef jerky.
Baking is performed in an oven. The heat typically comes from the bottom and
cooking is done by the dry heated air. Roasting is done at a higher heat than
baking and the meat or fish is closer in contact with the heat source. For
example, to roast fish in an oven, you place it uncovered close to a heat
source above it. This may also be called "broiling." You can roast fish by
wrapping it in aluminum foil and roasting it over the hot embers of a fire. You
can also roast fish by rotating it on a spit over a fire. When fish is placed
directly on a grill over a hot source of heat, we usually say that the fish is
"grilled" rather than roasted.

 (ie. "Captain Corelli's mandolin.")
Actually the book has been vehemently criticized by the Greek partisans who felt
it portrayed them inaccurately. The movie has mollified the extreme position of
the book.

 fish is "grilled" rather than roasted.
And this is the 'trota alla griglia' who died on a fire at the beginning of
this post.
So , probably the correct term you looked for is 'trota arrostita' or 'trota
arrosto', but (to me) it sounds almost as funny as 'arrostata'. Any chef in
here?

 here?
The term "roasted trout" is also not common in English, but cooking a fish by
hot direct heat it is very different from baking it. Often people will say
"grilled" even when a grill isn't involved, or use the term "broiled." Both
methods allow the juices to drip away while cooking. I probably should have said
"alla griglia."

then forget about it. 
Heard anything lately about the abolition of conscription in Italy? If
not, it's time you did :-)

not, it's time you did :-)
I did, and I hope those two guys jumping out of a flying helicopter
are not the result of such reform... :-|
