Turn to what was written. Flip to the photo of HL smiling.
SP sing again, when i am gone.


I'll admit I ran for Heath Ledger, after his Brokeback, eager to see how he would fare in other genres. Abandoning "The Brothers Grimm", I chose this "Casanova", which was also released in 2005.

Casanova is a famous Italian lover. He was first heard of his name in a book about Venice. Casanova - This handsome man would always stand on the Bridge of Sighs in Venice with his different girlfriends, waiting for the sunset to say love words. The Casanova portrayed by Heath in the film is indeed such a prodigal son who is liked by women. Watch him go in and out of the convent, flirting with noble nuns. Kiss the nun as she hurried away in the morning. And he walked through the corridor, and every nun came out to call his name... In that water city, almost all the women's doors were open for him. Let him come and go as he pleases. Just for a one-night supper with him.

Casanova is an uninhibited prodigal son whose sexual corruption is despised by religious people. In order to escape punishment, he needs to find a woman from a good family to marry. He chose the city's famous Virgin Victoria. Heh~ What's very funny is the debauchery that this saint showed when she saw Casanova, the appearance of a wolf attacking her. Let me know, it turns out that the so-called saintess and the slut are no different.
The one who loved this saint dearly was a man who lived next to her. Young and handsome. Go to Casanova to fight for Victoria. Hehe~ But the one who really appeared in the arena was his sister Francesca. Thorough feminist. Casanova is fascinated ~

I like this girl. Love the aggressiveness of her sword-fighting with Casanova, her debates in college, and the writing she writes under the pen name of a woman. She was an outlier for that era. But she still took the same path as ordinary women: getting married. Marry a fat guy you don't know.

What's really interesting about the movie is that it only begins now. Casanova's series of ideas to stop her from marrying the fat guy. Hehe~ I have to say Casanova's wit. Really dealing with different people in every way. . great~

The ending of the film is a bit cheesy. Just seeing the prodigal son take his heart seems a little comforting.


SP sings again, Time to say goodbye.
Ok. HL, goodbye.
