The woman who was named the sexiest woman in Italy; at the 2003 Oscars, she wore a lavender evening dress to the stage, and the eye-catching master of ceremonies at the beginning with a warm and soft words bred in the Mediterranean, starring in "Sicily", Malena, She became the most beautiful, lonely, and most loved and hated woman there.

In the film, Retona witnessed the whole experience of this woman from the perspective of an adolescent boy, and further approached her inner world with a complex mood of admiration for her and protected this much-discussed woman. So, when her long-lost husband returns to Sicily to find her again, only Retona has the right to tell him the truth: her love for you is always the same, and she chose to leave after suffering. "The last time I saw her was on the train. The sad eyes were hidden behind the car window, waiting for the train to take her wounded soul and love away."

Finally, the man left Sicily and boarded the train that year. Take his lover's train to find...
Years later, he came back holding her hand.
Calmly and sadly, he walked past the chilling eyes of everyone, and the suspicious words shuttled through the square. At that moment, I felt that there was only one couple in the world who were deeply scarred. The square was empty, and everyone else disappeared. He, holding a long-lost lover, warmed her with silent tolerance and forgiveness.

Zhang Ailing wrote in "Love in a Fallen City": In the era of turmoil, there is no place for individualism, but there is always room for an ordinary couple.

So, finally.

When all the smoke cleared, the town returned to its former calm. When she was picking fruits and vegetables in the market with a cloth bag, the women almost forgot that she was the slutty bitch who slept with the Germans; that she had been sitting in the square with her blond hair and mesh stockings. A prostitute waiting for a man to come forward to light a cigarette. And she showed a calm expression like a lake without waves. Also forget that these women grabbed her hair and kicked and beat them in the square after the Germans surrendered. She had been so helpless naked in front of the crowd, screaming with blood on her head...

when all the beauty was gone. Although she seems to have forgotten, as if to remove that memory from her mind, I can still capture the sadness deep in her eyes. It is undeniable that she is old and has fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. But, Marianne is still beautiful...

Seeing this in the movie, I don't think I can fully appreciate the entire psychological world of this woman. But for a moment, I thought I understood. It was the moment she screamed in the square. She must want to find someone in the crowd who can give her a sympathetic look, put her clothes on, and give her a warm and supportive person. At that moment she was wondering where is her lover?

The smoke of war took away her husband's life, and also took away the soul that Malena would love. Otherwise, at this time, there will definitely be a man standing there firmly to protect her and not let her suffer any harm, saying: Don't be afraid, dear, I'm here.

When they came back hand in hand again to be an ordinary couple. I think the townspeople have finally regained their annihilated humanity after the evil war was over. When they accepted the couple, they must also reciprocate their feelings of repentance.
Milan Kundera said: "Hitler not only brought unspeakable terror to Europe, but also stifled the Europeans' perception of tragedy."
But because of Malena, her beauty and loneliness saved and redeemed the tragedy. in the mind. Waiting for them to revive with their new life. Some women are born with sins, not their own beauty, but the original sins that often inspire human beings due to the existence of beauty: jealousy, slander, rumors, desires... It also makes beautiful women unfortunate to bear the burden of fatigue. A lifetime to redeem the fate of beauty.
Although Malena doesn't know the way forward, she can still be beautiful, sadly waiting for a new life, waiting, waiting...waiting

with her lover who came back...
