Marco Polo is a 2007 American made-for-television historical adventure film directed by Kevin Connor, starring Ian Somerhalder, BD Wong and Brian Dennehy. In the 13th century, imprisoned in Genoa, Marco Polo, a Venetian trader, recounts his days as a young man in China to a fellow prisoner who is dying. He reminisces about his fantastic adventures, his rise to governorship in Kublai Khan's court in Mongolia, his love for a kidnapped concubine and his escape back to Italy as a wealthy man.
“Non ho scritto neppure la metà delle cose che ho visto.”
“I must tell you that in all this province of Maabar there is no master tailor or dressmaker to cut or stitch cloth, because the people go stark naked all the year round. . . . The king wears no more than the others, apart from certain ornaments of which I will tell you. . . . Suffice it that he wears in all so many gems and pearls that their price exceeds that of a fine city.”
“Io parlo parlo ... ma chi m'ascolta ritiene solo le parole che aspetta. ... Chi comanda al racconto non è la voce: è l'orecchio.”
