Malena

This movie was a reflection of us a society when we let our insecurities and fear fester, when we are not kind, when we assume the worst, and let reason have no place in our hearts or minds, when we do not forgive. It was a profound piece and very sad. [spoiler] They said she was a whore until they made her one by starving her out. If she had given her the opportunity to work or anyone had been kind enough to give her food..... just basic food, even that lustful boy, she would not have had to resort to her only currency. Everyone noticed her ass but only the boy noticed her tears & her hungry belly & her sullen face & her broken heart. Shame on a society that is that cold and unforgiving. Her husband was her saving grace. Thank goodness for him. Thank goodness that boy finally grew a pair and a spine and said something. Thank goodness he was beyond the rumours and innuendo and saw the truth. I shudder to think how many Malénas are created in war times. She says so much with her silence. No one bothered to ask her anything at any point. No one bothered to help except the boy. The concept of telling this story through the town's words was exceptional. The subject of their words never really spoke but everyone else sure did. No one is innocent in this town not even the boy because all allowed it to happen. When things came to a boiling point still no one stood up for her. The worst of it is that only when they saw flaws in her beauty did they welcome her. Well executed.**"Beauty is pain."**[/spoiler]

nice tits. also have some thoughts

New return to Italy from the war, with a maggiorata

Poor woman is sexualised even when grieving. All of it through a disgusting creepy stalking kid's eyes. Ton of disgusting scenes with the kid. Straight up pedophilia... Disgusting. Don't watch this. There is no point to it. Don't subject yourself to this trash.

Will definitely be look for more Monica Belluci movies...been a fan since the Matrix
