Sensuality, humanity, love.

A simple pull, not exactly linear.

Beginning with Mussolini's declaration of war, there is an entry point of the times, which acts as a buffer. “The day Mussolini declared war on England and France, and I had my first bicycle.”

The authority of the leader, the frenzy of others, contrasted sharply with the indifference of the children—obviously, in a sick group Among them, children are often the most able to discover the truth. Just like the children in "The Emperor's New Clothes" who can tell the truth, these teenagers express the most sincere expressions of beauty.

There are two montage shots to construct before Malena comes on stage. One is to walk on tiptoe and raise stockings. The second is to hang the suspenders and stroke the skirt. Under the influence of retro garter, everything is very sexually suggestive.

Renato is not yet an adult, but he uses a car as a qualification certificate and joins the youth. Of course, such an activity requires transportation, so there is an amazing set of pictures - looking at the butt - the teenagers are constantly rushing in front of Malena by bicycle, and then sit on the side of the road and watch her pass by quietly. Close-up of the calf below (the stitches behind the stockings and the high heels), the slightly sweaty chest, the hooks that protrude under the hip-packed skirt, and the sexual innuendo of Monica Bellucci seems to be a very easy job. During this process, the teenagers were always gasping for breath, and Mussolini's speech in the background and the cheers of the crowd never stopped.

Malena's father is a deaf Latin teacher, so there is this dialogue:
- Teacher, can I fuck your daughter?
- Yes, but hurry up.
And, latex, oral sex, anal sex, one by one.

Sometimes I think this movie is too different for men and women - but it seems that many girls can't resist Monica Bellucci's sexiness. But as far as I know, it's hard for girls, or boys who are not as busy as me, to have this kind of experience: a primal impulse aroused from the heart, and then plunged into it, secret, deep, and inextricable. Become a slave to your hormones and enjoy every beauty - stalking, voyeurism and fantasies, fetishes. It's like going to unravel a fascinating mystery. I fantasize about buying cigarettes. When I pick up the money, I look up from the heels, and the skirts open to the thighs. I imagined that the water dripping from the tips of her hair had been drank as much as she could. Fortunately, this sexual impulse and the throbbing of prying eyes are generally common to all human beings. The nightdress with the shoulder straps slipping seems to open a door, the music is particularly beautiful in the company of the dance, and the shadows, projections make it Everything becomes more mysterious and sexy.

A set of shots showing the fall of all beings, it seems that Renato is so insignificant among the admirers. Not to mention his status, he couldn't even wear trousers.

But Renato is clearly very different from other admirers. He has a love for M. The gossip in the film unfolds layer by layer like bamboo shoots — first by the occasional man, then by the woman, and then into a frenzied slander of which the anonymous letter is a small climax. However, R has a juvenile protective desire - he attacks people who insult M with saliva and urine. Of course, this could not resist the town residents' revelry in gossip.

R is still in love with M, despite all the buzz about the dentist officer. He also has an enviable superpower - seeing everyone as Malena, and stripping Malena of all her clothes. Relying on imagination time and time again close contact with M. Wait, superpowers? No, what the movie presents is a mouth-watering body, but in R's heart is only endless lust and desire, showing an untouchable temptation. This is probably the ability of each of us, but such fantasies often dig deeper and deeper desires. He would go to church to pray for M's protection and take over himself in a few years. After M was raped, he would find the statue to vent his anger. Childlike love.

The defense of the lawyer is the literary eye of the film. It sounds brilliant, but every sentence is true. Excessive beauty can really be a crime. Well, isn't this raped by you?

After the war, the "slut humiliation" reached its extreme, a group of vicious women, in a hysteria that bordered on carnival, attacked Malena in the square. Not only the cowardly and helpless Renato who watched and dared not act, who had imagined countless times that he was a hero saving beauty like a movie scene, but also a bunch of decent gentlemen, the men who "loved" Melena. The trousers didn't make Renato an adult, in fact, what was the use of being an adult? In a sick community, watching from the sidelines seems a more realistic sadness.

There is so much talk about "slut humiliation" that I don't need to analyze it any further. In fact, there is an interesting self-fulfilling prophecy in the film - the women refuse to sell her food, the men dare not hire him for fear Hoping for the direction, whore. In starvation and humiliation Malena had no choice, she changed her hairstyle and made a living by picking up customers. The wicked women finally started cheering: as we imagined, she's a bitch!

The emotion contained in the original film has reached its highest point in "Plaza Abuse", and it is a relatively good ending to take a car to leave in Malena quietly and calmly. However, the return of Malena and her husband arm in arm was a stroke of genius, forcing another higher climax. Quoting Douyou's words: "Only by returning to the old place can you regain your dignity."

After stopping the bombardment of Monica Bellucci's body, the audience finally had time to think about the social meaning of the film beyond the sensuality- - The women are still chatting - she's got crow's feet and she's getting fat. Well, she is finally not the flawless widow, the lover that everyone dreams of, she finally doesn't have to be blamed for being too beautiful, and you can finally let go of your inferiority complex, narrow-mindedness and jealousy, and get along well with her. No, her bonjour flattered you all.

She has a husband, crow's feet, and fat. She buys food and says good morning. She must be as good a woman as we are.

Compared with the human thinking contained in the film, I even think Renato's feelings are more meaningful to discuss. The most crucial point is that Renato has no direct contact with Melena, forming a real bystander. Until the end, when Malena came back as a lady, he was fortunate enough to help her pick up the oranges. Out of his own inferiority complex, he never dared to have any contact with Malena from beginning to end. If I say that this movie has an element of pure love, many people may not agree. Some people use the phrase "Lovely and missing someone is like nostalgic for the joy and desolation of our helpless life" to sum up the love letter. It is not difficult to find that in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", this sentence is also completely applicable—— It's nothing more than adding an endless amount of sexuality, which is only more real and pure to me.

Run away from desire, run away from innocence, run away from her.
