Today I would like to introduce you to the film "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" produced by director Giuseppe Donatore, which is one of the director's "time and space trilogy". The other two are Cinema Paradiso and The Man Known as the Professor! I have introduced the film "Paradise Cinema" to you before, and friends who have not seen it can go to see it, a great movie.
This film is also known as "True Love Accompanies Me" and "Marlena", of which Marlena is the name of the heroine.
Stills from The Beautiful Legend of Sicily
When I first saw the movie poster, I was fascinated. Half leaning over, serenity eyes staring at you. You'll be obsessed with that beauty, that temperament. The jet-black hair hangs down naturally, adding a natural charm.
She is the actress Monica Bellucci, and it is also the heroine Marlena, a beautiful legend of Sicily. The eyes of the boy in the distance are full of love and hope. Looking at the woman he loves deeply, a dream that cannot be sought, a dream that is the deepest in my mind.
The director did not take the heroine as the first perspective, but through a teenager, the side showed the heroine's experience and world. At the same time, it also unfolds the plot development through the love of teenagers. A relatively unique approach to plot.
After the film was released in Italy in 2000, it caused a great response. Whether it is the bold and open picture of the film or the performance of directly attacking the ugliness of human nature, it is the topic of people's after-dinner! Of course, there is also the pure and longing love of teenagers, or the fantasy of love.
Marlena, the most beautiful woman in Sicily. Wherever you go, you attract the attention of everyone. The men looked lovingly, greedily, and obscenely. The women were envious and jealous. Walking down the street, calm eyes shine with confidence. The sound of high heels hitting the floor is like the sound of nature, and the big wavy hair flutters in the wind, hooking the soul!
Among the many lovers is the figure of a teenager, who is simply in a state of extreme love. Ride your bike everywhere on the street, looking for Marlena. Follow her closely behind her, looking at her posture and peeking into her life.
Loved the music she loved, loved everything she liked. Marlena's intimate clothes are the most precious treasure in the hearts of the teenagers, fantasizing about having a relationship with her, and holding the clothes tightly in her arms. When the father discovered the psychology of the teenager, he took him away fiercely, but the teenager still liked her.
At the end of the film, the teenager has grown up, and Marlena is no longer young. Her dress is still trendy, but the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes have been revealed, and her figure has become slightly fat. But that encounter, the teenager still had concerns.
Like the line he said: In the days that followed, I met a lot of women. They would ask if I would ever remember them. In my heart, my favorite is still Marlena, the woman who never asked me.
The love of teenagers is not consumed with the passage of time, but goes deeper into the heart. A love affair that is doomed to have no ending is inevitably a little regrettable, but Marlena's figure will always exist in the heart of the teenager. The love in the movie is not beautiful or touching, but I see sincerity.
