Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001)
Christian Bale's movies: ''Captain Corelli's Mandolin''
THE ROLE In another World War II-set movie, Bale plays Madras, a Greek fisherman whose intended (Penélope Cruz) falls for the Italian captain of the title (Nicolas Cage)
WHAT EW SAID Lisa Schwarzbaum: ''Pearl Harbor for the English Patient crowd — a movie that reduces history, as well as eros, to a postcard... The Greek townsfolk in this history-inspired story glow with ethnic pride. Then they dance. Life is hard but photogenic.''
