This film tells the story of how an innocent girl became a peerless political prostitute in Venice in the 16th century and chose where to go between spiritual freedom and social contempt. The structure of the film is very extensive, involving the Turkish invasion and the European plague, but they are only small propellers of the plot. The key point is the process of women making full use of their own capital to strive for happiness.
Most of the men in the film are shameless, especially the male protagonist, even if he changes later, he still despises this kind of indecision, looking at the guy in the pot while eating. One after another, whether in art or in life. Fortunately, the heroine of this film, Veronica, did not slow down her pursuit of happiness after struggling for marriage, but changed lanes under the guidance of her mother. enjoy the fast lane. This line of work requires technical and emotional investment. Veronica has an amazing talent in this area, so why not use it? Not all happiness comes from marriage, and it depends on the husband for charity. As for the men, each one is less promising than the other, and they always want to keep things secret, and they are speechless except for being speechless.
The actors who play the heroines are beautiful, but they are not very atmospheric. The male lead is too ugly to look at. Just like "The Duchess", I really don't understand what the beautiful heroines like about them, or if the director wants to satisfy his own broken thoughts. ? I don't like the ending of the film very much, I think it's fake, but the title actually says it's based on real events. Generally speaking, there is nothing new, and the level of the film is average, but it is worth thinking about after watching it by all female compatriots.

Dangerous Beauty quotes

  • Veronica Franco: There's not a man in Venice I can't have.

    Marco Venier: And there's not a woman in Venice I can't have.

    Veronica Franco: You cannot have me.

  • Veronica Franco: I confess that as a young girl I loved a man who would not marry me for want of a dowry. I confess I had a mother who taught me a different way of life, one I resisted at first but learned to embrace. I confess I became a courtesan, traded yearning for power, welcomed many rather than be owned by one. I confess I embraced a whore's freedom over a wife's obedience. I confess I find more ecstacy in passion than in prayer. Such passion is prayer. I confess I pray still to feel the touch of my lover's lips. His hands upon me, his arms enfolding me... Such surrender has been mine. I confess I pray still to be filled and enflamed. To melt into the dream of us, beyond this troubled place, to where we are not even ourselves. To know that always, this is mine. If this had not been mine-if I had lived any other way-a child to her husband's will, my soul hardened from lack of touch and lack of love... I confess such endless days and nights would be a punishment far greater than you could ever mete out. You, all of you, you who hunger so for what I give yet cannot bear to see that kind of power in a woman. You call God's greatest gift-ourselves, our yearning, our need to love-you call it filth and sin and heresy... I repent there was no other way open to me. I do not repent my life.
