He is the imperfection of the perfection

One of the most important reasons why Austen is so likable is that although she herself has lost a loved one and never married, each of her novels is a comedy ending, and all the heroines and heroines have lived as princes since then. The happy life of a princess, the kind-hearted supporting characters have also found their own suitable partners, and the misbehaving supporting characters have finally come to their senses, and even people with unclear minds have become knowledgeable people. The world is really complete. I love Austin!
So I like Heath Ledger's "Casanova" very much. In this version, the suave Casanova actually fell in love with a not very beautiful but intellectual woman Francesca. After the ups and downs, the playboy recovered and resolutely retired, and since then he has lived a life like a fairy. Even those supporting roles such as Francesca's mother also married the prospective son-in-law who fell in love at first sight, and Francesca's younger brother also married the lover of his dreams, and Casanova's mother also came back in time to rob the magic field. In keeping with the promise to Casanova, everyone gets what they want, and the world is harmonious and complete. It's the essence of Austin's comedy: a happy ending after a mess.
The only unsatisfactory thing is that Heath Ledger died. This handsome guy with both beauty and acting skills left this world so mercilessly. From then on, we can only continue to reminisce about the youth in "Ten Things I Hate About You". He, he was melancholy in "Brokeback Mountain", and he was unruly in "Casanova". It's really not perfect.

    I want to watch a movie about the legendary character Casanova. This is too fairy tale. I don’t think it’s like the life that Casanova chose.

    "Good women are cultivated by hooligans, and there will be true love there. He teaches them to live unrestrainedly, teach them how to love, and teach them little by little: love is pleasure, not suffering." I don't like the heroine, this woman is too boring, not worthy of Heath Ledger's prodigal son and lover. BTW, men's white shirts in period make them really sexy!

Casanova quotes

  • Casanova: And what did we do that for?

    Lupo: I don't know.

  • Victoria: Bishop Pucci

    Pucci: How can I help you my dear?

    Victoria: I was a virgin. My virginity was my most cherished possession. My gift from God. My gift was taken from me.

    Pucci: Tragic and most damnable. What was the name of this vile seducer?

    Victoria: Giacomo Casanova. When Casanova came to my room and... robbed me... I fought for my honour

    Pucci: Are you saying that you would be willing to give me the testimony that I need to hang him?

    Victoria: Yes. But I would be worried about my reputation.

    Pucci: Of course. But I think we could say if everything went according to plan we could return your reputation *and* your virginity to you.

    Victoria: You could do that?

    Pucci: Oh, yes. We are the Catholic Church. We can do anything.
