The director is still not so cruel, so that the tip of the knife is covered with honey

It's a pity that I watched the very green version. It's not that I have to watch some revealing shots, but I can only realize the necessity of revealing flesh in a good movie more in the mosaics that I have come down the road. It is never revealing for the sake of revealing , every shot naturally has its own deep meaning, but what people with wretched thoughts see are only the most superficial pixels of different color blocks, which is sad.

What I want to talk about most is the ending after that, the scene where Malena took her husband's hand and returned to Sicily in the vegetable market. Very ironic, it is the climax of the whole show. The changes before and after the phrase "good morning" are embarrassing. How did Malena feel when she said good morning? Facing a woman who used to laugh wildly and abused herself, for the sake of her future foothold, she couldn't say "Fuck you all" like the heroine in Shuangwen, but finally chose silence and forbearance. What about other women? Why "forgive" Malena is that she is old, with crow's feet, and her face is no longer as aggressively beautiful as she used to be, and she is "no threat" to themselves - and more importantly, her husband is back. , she has a home and support, she is no longer a weak woman who can be trampled by anyone, she is no longer a single woman, and she is no longer a "threat" to her family. To put it another way, from the initial Cold, in the end, although she still spoke little, she began to compromise and smile and say hello to her enemies. Malena was no longer a goddess above the top, but she was just "the same person" as those long-tongued women, who needed to take care of housework and grocery shopping. Housewife cooking. "We are all the same" is why those women stopped fighting. very real. After all, such men and women abound in real life. Malena was staggering when she was holding her husband tightly when she returned to Sicily. Men and women looked at her along the way. Malena was unnatural and nervous when she returned to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and it was meaningful when she was greeted. Looking at each other and saying hello after silence, and the last look back during the only conversation with the male lead, there was thunder in the silence, and the skills of the director and actors were impressive. The ending of the movie is still too kind, giving Malena a happy ending, although a little embarrassing. Even if the film adds a layer of honey, I still can't help but imagine how sharp the real dagger that will not be decorated with kindness will be.

    "As time flies, I fell in love with many women later. They asked me in my arms if I loved them or not, and I would always say, love. But the woman I love the most, never asked me this question."★★ ★★

    Bellucci is so beautiful! Even Mimi is so beautiful! The boy's perspective cannot be more moving. Our history has always been in turbulent times. Pick out one or two stunning women, put their crimson lips on the dark smoke, and then let them go...

Malena quotes

  • Renato's Father: [regarding Renato's incessant and loud masturbation sessions at night] You are going to go blind!

  • [last lines]

    Renato Amoroso: I pedaled as fast as I could... as if I were escaping from longing, from innocence, from her. Time has passed, and I have loved many women. And as they've held me close... and asked if I will remember them I've said, "Yes, I will remember you." But the only one I've never forgotten is the one who never asked... Malena.
