Confidant Snap Fingers Old

I watched "Dangerous Beauty" once after midnight on January 1, 2000. At that time, because I didn't wear glasses, I only remembered the general plot. I didn't read it carefully. I only remembered that the plot was Hollywood's most mainstream joy and romance. Because of this, this movie made me unforgettable for a long time. At the beginning of 2005, I ordered "The Honest Courtesan" from AMAZON. The film is adapted from this book, and this book is indeed the author's doctoral thesis.

The book is of course shelved after only two pages. But "Dangerous Beauty" has always been dreaming.

When I finally bought this film, it was difficult to jump for joy and immediately relive my old dreams.

As a result........................ The

"gap between dreams and reality" was once again verified.

Abandoning everything madly for love, it should be youth and enthusiasm. In the movie, two people in their thirties pretend to be pure and self-entertaining, but it makes me creepy. The powder brushed by the heroine Veronica is shaky, and the legal line is like a knife. Historically, Veronica received re-education during her time, and the real reason was that the movie had it in one stroke. “Veronica’s mother told her daughter, “Since I don’t want to be a maid or go to a monastery, where is the way?” But in Hollywood, Everything is born for love. In order to have Marco, Veronica did not hesitate to become a political prostitute. Because Marco will not marry a poor man.

But historically, the true story is that Veronica is in the Renaissance. At that time, a woman who was about to marry, if her dowry could attract a wealthy partner, she could guarantee that her patrilineal descendants would have a wider inheritance of property. Similarly, it is also an important temporary source of financial resources for her newlywed husband. He can use the money to produce new wealth. Generally speaking, the husband is the main beneficiary of the various expenditures of the upper class for the dowry of the daughter. At the same time, the married daughter herself is just a imaginary title to inherit this wealth, and it is rarely possible for her to actually use this wealth. Before the wedding ceremony, the money must be confirmed and remitted to the daughter’s husband immediately. According to historical records, the Marco family won a surplus of 123,177 Ducato from marriage revenues during the two centuries of the Renaissance.

Therefore, it is clear that Veronica followed her mother's footsteps at the age of 20 because she had to sacrifice her hue because of her poor family. At that time, most impoverished women were one of the two ways out of adulthood, female workers or prostitutes.



It is said that a woman's obsession with love comes to a large extent from the misleading of romance movies and books. I am convinced. Historically, Veronica was nearly 60 years old and founded a shelter for impoverished prostitutes. Her Marco did not love her long enough.

He loves her only with a smile of youth, and she wants him only because of her daughter's expense. Because she is not Du Qiuniang who is angry with the treasure chest.

In fact, the daughter of Courtesan, the education she received from her mother when she was young is how to use her natural wealth and ability to get a financially profitable marriage. (This phenomenon of tying big money has been there since ancient times.) And, when she was a teenager, she married a wealthy physician. After this marriage failed. (Divorce during the Renaissance), in order to be able to make ends meet, she officially went to sea. Because at that time in Venice, apart from marrying someone, it was the only other shortcut to a comfortable life. (No difference from modern society). And in just one or two years, she became a leader among the thousands of prostitutes registered in the Venetian literature and art period. (It's what the Chinese call "Oiran") It

may be the version. This "DB" is obviously a compressed version. The most obvious is that in the last sprinkling of dog blood, Marco made a generous statement in court to defend Veronica. All the nobles in Venice stood up and proved that V was just a "Courtesan". Stands up, showing that he is also embarrassed when he has an affair with V.

During the Black Death in 1575, Veronica was forced to leave Venice. During her absence, her wealth was plundered. When she returned at the age of 29 in 1577, she had to face the religious court witch's accusation of being herself. Defense, because the capital punishment of witches from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance has never stopped. There is evidence that she was indeed acquitted with the help of the Venetian nobles. However, that was not because of a literary declaration of love, because at that time aristocratic prostitutes were a fashion, a symbol of wealth. She regained her freedom at the cost of losing all her wealth. After that, she could no longer restore the glory of the year. When she died, she was impoverished, and she had to be buried with other people’s funding



. Many details. Marco's sister, Veronica's best friend Beatrice married an old man. So, let Veronica realize clearly that money determines Marco's marriage. Before Veronica dedicated herself to Venice, she had retired and became Marco's second wife, living in the suburbs. But what makes me most delighted is that I have found many acquaintances... The inexperienced poet who framed Veronica as a witch because she could not get Veronica was the White House lawyer in "West Wing". The actor of Beatrice also appeared in "WW". But it made me even more excited. Before Veronica was famous all over the city, Venice's Queen and Livia made their appearance. She is the actor of Det. Stella in "CSI NY". Obviously, the years left her with charm and temperament. She is 5 years older than "Veronica". At the time of CSI, she was nearly 40 years old. But I admire her capable, professional and refreshing temperament. Now that she is amazed when she learns her true age, she has a clear path for future development: Ascetic temperament. (It doesn't matter if you have wrinkles, it’s most important to stay in shape)

The heroes and heroines of this movie are all British, so they will never be found in Hollywood in the future. Now they are also returning to the small screen.

    Political prostitutes were not a product of that era, and they abound today. It's just that in today's patriarchal society, political prostitutes have been reduced to courtesans.
