Venice was the richest city in Europe at the time. Women could be treated as private property of men, and they were not literate. They were taught to be a competent wife since childhood, and to pass on the lineage to honor their ancestors. But there are still women with a different fate, these women are considered the wealth of the country, they entertain men with their beauty and nature, they are political prostitutes - high-class prostitutes in Venice's high society!
Political prostitutes seemed to be the happiest and most educated women in society at the time, and they not only had to read books, but they had to learn all kinds of things that good women could never or could not learn—poetry, language, guitar, Dance, and of course men and sex. They can talk with dignitaries and dignitaries, and they can touch on politics, state governance, and poetry. They do not belong to any one man, but their time is fully booked with roses, love letters, and money by the powerful. The most important thing is that they are free, and who can be their servants is completely out of their own will.
The heroine in the film originally followed the path of a normal girl—marrying and passing on the line. But she fell in love, fell in love with a man who could not possibly marry her into the door. The man told her the heartbreaking truth "We can love each other, but we can't get married", and let the girl understand that marriage is politics, business, and has nothing to do with love and romance in her mind. With the help of her mother, she became an excellent political prostitute. She enjoyed sex and wealth, and for the first time exposed her spirited poetry to the powerful, she fascinated some of Venice's most powerful men, including her favorites. But she accepted many people, but she rejected the one she loved in her heart alone.
Rejection is the accelerant of love, and the fire of this love finally burns between a pair of lovers in an uncontrollable state. The tribulation of love appears at this time, when the girl is ready to change her mind and be loyal to her love, the war is coming! The girl was chosen by the king of France as a political prostitute and exchanged her body for French aid to Venice, but her lover rushed to the killing field in anger under the torture of jealousy.
Under the shadow of war, Venice broke out the biggest plague in history. It was believed that the immoral behavior of prostitutes defiled Venice. God used plague to punish the hearts of Venice who were deceived by prostitutes. The girl was caught. The girl made the most moving speech in front of the church with a fearless spirit. Her lover was moved, and regardless of her identity, she stepped forward to share the guilt with her, and persuaded those powerful and powerful people who had been infatuated with this girl to take the guilt together. And they actually did! The ending was happy, the girl was acquitted, and the one she loved left Venice.
The dialogues and voice-overs in the film are full of philosophy, and people's hearts will always be illuminated by those shining points unexpectedly!
It says that a woman's true lasting attraction comes from something deeper than beauty, and that is the mind. And desire comes from thought.
It says that precisely because marriage is not about romance, we need poetry to comfort our souls.
It says that denial deepens longing and makes love more intense.
It says that a wife in a marriage does not know how to love because she has sworn an oath before God.
It says that the problems of society do not need prostitutes to be scapegoated, that is the problem of the state!
As for the long lines in which the girl finally pleaded guilty, it may make us feel a little sophistry today. For example, the pan-love of political prostitutes she mentioned is actually sex, not love. For example, she said that she did not love her clients for money, but it was indeed those dignitaries that she chose to trade with.
Of course, this passage was spoken in that century. There is no fixed man responsible for their survival, and it is understandable that they trade beauty and power. Yes, they can do coolies too, but it's always a shame to see smart and intelligent women unable to use the gifts God has bestowed on them just because they are women. What I'm wondering more and more about now is why selling my body is more immoral than selling my other things.
Political prostitutes in the 16th century, just like the famous prostitutes in ancient China, were actually quite difficult to do. If you compare it with the women who work with the same name today, there is a difference between heaven and earth. It turns out that with the narrowing of the social division of labor, today's prostitutes are also divided into only the body and no soul!
The filming is quite wonderful, except for those very poetic voiceovers and lines, and the ups and downs of the background music sounded from time to time with the needs of the plot. And the picture of the film is beautiful - the buildings in the Italian traditional style under the bright and warm orange background, the small town residents wrapped in the costumes and props of the revival period, the quiet river, the boats floating at any time, the prostitutes The complicated and dazzling red dress is like looking at a dynamic and exquisite oil painting.
It is especially worth mentioning at the beginning of the film. In the quiet guitar sound, red roses slowly rose under the blue sky and white clouds, and the peaceful and peaceful female voice began to tell a touching story of romance and wonder. ...
The strings of the guitar plucked the heartstrings, and my heart felt numb in an instant, so wonderful, so moving, that feeling, really! It can only be understood without words!
