The film is a historical setting that I like. The background is Venice in the 16th century, the love story of a political prostitute in a turbulent and troubled world. The scene is magnificent and beautiful, the costumes are exquisite, and there is love between life and death. However, this is more than just a love story. In addition to love, the heroine's courage, persistence, and resistance to fate are all deeply attracted to me.
The heroine Vinonika dares to love and hate, with talent, wisdom and courage. She is agile, fearless and superior to poets in front of the pope; she learns to ride horses and fencing like a man, and she is not inferior to them in skills. In that era when women had no status, although she came from a humble background, she was unwilling to be a man’s vassal and had her own independent dignity; she did not succumb to the mercy of fate, and had the courage to pursue what she wanted; she insisted on what she thought was right, Don't bow to the wrong verdict of the church.
Marco is Vinonika's lover. He loves Vinonika, but his love is too small, so because of his identity, status, self-esteem and other reasons, he leaves again and again; but he is always attracted by her light and can’t let go, so he again and again Back. He stood by her side when she needed him most. Finally, in the pope's court, he finally put aside the shackles of those nihilistic things, stood up, defended his lover in front of everyone, and defended his love with Vinonica with practical actions.
A plot that I am deeply impressed and like very much is the sword fight between Veronica and the poet. The poet who couldn't make Sony Ericsson humiliated Veronica in public and cut off the book in her hand with a sword. Vinonika did not endure this humiliation, she drew out the saber of the nobleman around her to challenge the poet. Although only a political prostitute, she also has her own dignity. The poet was a complete failure. His poetry skills were no better than Vinonika, and his swordsmanship was a complete failure. The angry poet hurt her secretly, and Marco lifted her cheek with his eyes full of affection. Vinonika gently broke free of Marco's embrace, and left silently amidst the applause of the nobles. She is so proud that she does not want to show her fragility in front of people; she is so fragile, like a wounded but still proud animal, quietly licking her wounds where there is no one.
The heroine who likes this movie very much, she exudes a unique charm, which is unforgettable. The charm of Vinonika lies in her possession of things that other women in that era did not possess: knowledge, wisdom, courage, independent personality, and the spirit of fighting against fate. If she had not become a political prostitute, had no talent not inferior to men, but had nothing but beauty like Marco's wife and other noble ladies, Marco's love for her would eventually fade away. There can be many beautiful women, but only a truly thoughtful and meaningful woman can hold a man’s heart for a long time. This is an unchanging truth.
The climax of the film is the trial of the church at the end. I saw those nobles who had been obsessed with Vinonika stand up to testify for her, tears filled their eyelashes. The first time I watched this film was probably not long after graduating from university. I remember being moved by this ending. Revisiting this film five years later, although I understand that the ending is too ideal and the probability of occurrence in reality is too low, I will still be deeply moved. Because of conscience and morality, these things in people's hearts have not been wiped out. They are the bright colors of life that everyone wants to see.
