      beautiful sadness

      ★★★★★ God's work, italian movie masterpiece, God's work with God's actors. It looks like I'm sweating a bit. The scenes on the street are accompanied by playful background music, teasing the absurdity of the public’s human nature, and I can’t help but think about whether it is really necessary to reach the bottom of the society for votes. . The quality of the people is worrying, the psychology of conformity. . Guiding public opinion is too easy. . When I watched The Matrix, I was attracted...

      The original sin of being too beautiful

      This is the final installment of the Tornadore trilogy. After watching these films, I found that Tonadore never deliberately showed off his skills, but integrated his solid audio-visual language into a legendary story, allowing these techniques to appear naturally in the story, making his own Legendary stories have a certain degree of realism, so that the stories have symbolic meanings without being divorced from reality.

      The time span of the story...

      A boy's heart and a woman's life

      The title is a beautiful legend, but this legend is not beautiful at all, it is so tragic. A boy fell in love with a beautiful widow, could only imagine in the dark, and witnessed the widow's tragic fate. The film boldly shows special love, even though everyone takes the little boy's love in their eyes. This is more important to show the tragic fate of the heroine. Men are lecherous and women are jealous. Although it is a bit absolute, in such a film, the pure heart and pure love of the hero...

      Humanity , War or Porn

      It is undeniable that I watched this film for pornography a few years ago. I didn't expect the ending to shock me so much. In this story about beauty and ugliness, love and jealousy, there are always things that can be Shocking our hearts.

      We must know that the inferiority of the nation is by no means our patent, and we must know that anyone can have jealousy. Men are angry because they can't get her, and women are jealous because they are not themselves. All her sins are beauty, and when she is no longer beautiful, she is naturally...

      Beauty is like wealth, it does not suffer from widowhood but from unevenness. When many people fall into the quagmire, what they think about is not how to save themselves, but how to pull others into the water, so that they can feel safe when they are miserable together. . It's very strange, men's sexual enlightenment is more charming and mature, why do they prefer loli when they grow...

    Movie plot

    One day in the late spring of 1941, Renardo Amoruso met Marlena for the first time. With wavy black and shiny hair, wearing fashionable short skirts and stockings, and walking on high heels full of erotic temptation, she came to the quiet sunny town of Sicily. Her every move is eye-catching and seductive, and her frowns and smiles make men intoxicated and women jealous. Malena, like a goddess, conquered this paradise on the seashore.

    Evaluation action

    The film adopts a linear narrative method. The uncomplicated plot lines in the film are spread out under the beautiful tones of the picture, and the music is slowly extended, giving the film itself a neat and gorgeous powerful aura. ( Comment by "Youth Daily " ) 
    The film represents an insurmountable artistic peak of Italian cinema, and is also a classic in the history of erotic films worldwide. Said it "erotic", mainly due to the...
