This movie was soooo heartbreaking. Monica Belluci was absolutely phenomenal. The video doesnt show the part where the angry women shaved her head, kicked her, tore her clothes apart and publicly humilianted her while the men just stood there and didnt lift a finger to help her. Very hard scene to watch. Beauty is a double edge sword and in the case of Malena, it didnt help her at all. In fact, it was her ball and chain.
yes I left that bit out just because I thought it was so gruesome and painful to watch.. also due to the nudity but you really feel for her in this movie 💔
@@especiallyforyou9494 I completely understand that you didnt include this scene! Very hard scene to watch!! Just thinking about it makes my stomach turn. You did an amazing job with this video!
All those women so angry and violent to malena instead of their husband's makes me want to cry since the biggest problem isn't her beauty it's how others are taught to behave
I still feel like that sometimes. People in the South of Spain love staring at you too. Speacially old people. You don't know what they are thinking of you but it doesn't feel nice anyway.
I got chills when you matched the iconic scene of her walking with red hair after her transformation with "the girls the boys they all like carmen" line. Monica Bellucci's beauty and charm is unmatchable but opposed to her beauty Malena's story is really tragic and depressing. Her face tells it all, how she hides her pain with grace.
I’m glad people are noticing the small details I took time on perfecting on purpose. Thank you for the appreciation :) Do recommend any other movies I should edit.
It just seems so similar, a women with unmatched beauty is considered to be a masterpiece. They are stared and objectified everywhere they go. Even on her darkest days, she considered as an object of lust. Especailly in a conservative society. No one knows anything about her, but just admire her looks. Eyes following you everywhere you go... she can never be known for her intelligence, emotions or personality. Just her outer looks. Been called a slut if she is humble and kind to everyone, and been called something else if she maintains a distance. People say it is easy for beautiful people, but actually, beauty is like a cloak which hides everything inside you good or bad.
I don’t think it’s all the time easy being pretty but at the end of the day, most people would rather be pretty than ugly. I honestly feel like the safest way to be in this world is probably average… You are basically a ghost when you are average. Not necessarily hated, but not necessarily loved. And your personality makes other people either find you prettier or uglier. You can be smart, stupid, cool, boring, etc. without people really putting a stereotype on you.
It's so heartshaking when you combine her walking in the street, hair-dyed and cold look scene with her holding her husband's picture and dancing with him in her pretention, it's just... the contrast, the contradiction, combined with Lana singing 'Like a lightening...~' feels like that scene goes straightly into my soul.
I saw something similar in my younger sister and it makes me really sad. She was such a happy, social little girl. When she grew up she turned into one of the most beautiful young women i have ever seen. I am not saying this because she's my sister, I am not nearly as beautiful as she is. Many would think she had it all but I have never seen so much hate and criticism towards someone. Especially by other women, even older women! And the men, always so inappropriate around her, even when being married and their wife standing next to them. People would always nitpick everything about her, things they would never do to me for example! Sadly, this has transformed her a lot and now at 21 she is so extremely insecure, her fire is gone. She even thinks of herself as quite ugly and doesn't want to leave the house most of the time. Of course everyone is different but we as women should support each other instead of tearing each other down, this kind of critics can do a lot of damage especially in very young girls. This movie breaks my heart.
I understand you Even I know a similar situation, I would have given anything for that person not to experience those situations , but we don't have power over other people...
21 is a very young age, Malena is 35 at the movie, sometimes the best way is to ignore everyone and be immersed in a career and study, at this age I mean. Hugs to you and your sister
Why is your sister so much dependable of others opinion? Sorry, but is seems she feels unsecure from her childhood. A good therapist could be of some help. I suppose smrh is not ok with her self - steem.
"My Brilliant Friend" is an Italian show that is similar to this movie; it shows how the close-mindedness, patriarchy, etc of small villages/communities just eats away at people especially women and girls. So sad.
Isso nada tem a ver com Patriarcado! Case com um Homem de Verdade e Olhares assim somem rapidamente! Ao menos aqui no Brasil! Basta um Homem de Fato e todos passam a respeitar as mulheres. A Cultura Sexista aqui tem caminhado de mãos dadas ao Feminismo! Uma mulher que se dá o respeito e um bom homem ao lado ou um Pai Bravo e Respeitável faz com que quaisquer olhares pervertidos cessem! Patriarcado é a Solução! Falta de Homens de Verdade é o que torna a sociedade Liberal o bastante para se tornar insegura para Homens e Mulheres!
@@ramodes A lei nunca estará em todos os lugares ao mesmo tempo, quando mais precisamos geralmente é a última solução possível. Mulheres devem aprender a se defender, ter direito a portar armas, se quiserem proteger a si mesmas da maldade alheia. Mesmo os homens, precisam estar aptos sempre para poderem proteger as pessoas ao seu redor, caso contrário é uma vítima em potencial também. É a realidade, ignorá-la ou simplesmente protestar contra ela infelizmente não a mudará, compreendê-la e cauterizá-la é a solução. Minha filha assim que possível será introduzida às artes marciais, quem sabe até aprender a praticar tiro esportivo, saber não se colocar em posição de vulnerabilidade ou frequentar ambientes demasiadamente perigosos desacompanhada...
I am from a village close to the little town in the countryside of Umbria, central Italy- where Monica is from. This woman represents the actual realization of the dream. Coming from humble origins, It's not just her unique beauty that made her stand out; she truly has something special and that goes to her talent and special mindset. Nobody ever thought that a small place like ours could give birth to a superstar like her, and this is only because of the labor and persistence a human being must have. Before we were seen as just a region of mostly farmers and agricultural life and her story inspired so many people to believe in our projects, reminding us that circumstances can be transformed into something unique wherever in the world we might be.
@@matthew.352 How do you know the OP specifically referenced Monica's youth and not her "years" of progression as an artist? I mean, those times were indeed her career's peak! That's probably what they tried to direct the phrasing at.. we never know, right? But yeah, your point's very agreeable.
My heart literally broke while watching this movie. It's so close to reality. Also this song matches everything in this movie. Monica nailed this role.
Ehmmm no. There's still some discrimination in very rural settings in Southern Italy, but definitely not what you see in the movie sooo where the hell do you live girl? 👀😳
It’s mainly because of men. They even turn women into monsters when in control of them. Notice in the film the prostitute never felt threatened by Malena even tho she could have easily been replaced??
watching this movie made me realize all thought having a graceful face that is considered the standard of beauty must certainly be very nice, no matter how beautiful you are there are still people who are going to dislike and even hate you for absolutely not reason. Ugly or beautiful not everyone is going to like me, but being beautiful must certainly feel wonderful.
Ser bonita à suas qualidades, mas sinceramente a o lado obscuro, ainda mas sendo mulher, uma mulher bonita nunca estará muitas vezes segura e muitos menos confiante quando a muitos homens encarando, perseguindo, stalkeando ou piores situações possíveis. Ser bonito é bom, mas sinceramente, sinto que muitas vezes pra eles é um azar enorme.
I only know that it does not feel good, it damages mental health, the perception of situations is confusing, you never know when there really is some genuine feeling or we are only perceived as objects.
Her beauty made her desired to others But also made her lose her humanity to others. She was no longer seen as a person with feelings; Just a shiny object that needed an owner to possess it.
At least, no more than two answers and no fight here ! 😭. it's a relief ! Thanks ! I read 257 comments they were like crazy slapping cats.🤜💥 🙀 It's so cool here. Good night. 💙
@@fayedavies6820 yes of course there are some insights into her feelings from afar. We can tell a lot about those instances that are dwelled upon, but we never really get to see inside her head we can only assume.Nothing can ever beat a story being narrated by the victim itself. Instead her story is told from the perspective of a boy who is navigating the aspects of going through puberty. Which in my opinion reduced the impact of her character so much more. Since an outsider especially a male can not really capture the true ailments of her suffering as a woman.
@@user-kp2yk3lz2z I agree, if this movie was from her perspective I also think it would have been more powerful and it lean on your mind for longer.. I think that was unused potential
You seem to have picked up on what unused potential is neglected here but I believe it shows you have felt her pain as you know there is potential to amplify this.
I actually like that it’s told from the perspective of a young boy. Although I think it would be interesting, not hearing her perspective adds to the mystique and isolation of her character.
@@rahmasaad2393 we watched it as kids without understnading the language and subject matter and by fast forwarding. I understand the story now but I am just amazed how strong male desire is. What all things I did as a teenager lol. Yes it is like a self fulfilling prophecy
Darling, darling Doesn’t have a problem lying to herself 'Cause her liquor’s top shelf It’s alarming, honestly, how charming she can be Fooling everyone, telling Hum she’s having fun She says, «You don’t want to be like me Don’t wanna see all the things I’ve seen» I’m dying, I’m dying She says, «You don’t want to get this way Famous and dumb at an early age» Lying, I’m lying The boys, the girls They all like Carmen She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes She laughs like God Her mind’s like a diamond Audiotune lies She’s still shining Like lightning, woah White lightning Carmen, Carmen Staying up till morning Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean It’s alarming, truly, how disarming you can be Eating soft ice cream Coney Island queen She says, «You don’t want to be like me Looking for fun, getting high for free» I’m dying, I’m dying She says, «You don’t want to get this way Street walk at night, and a star by day» It’s tiring, tiring The boys, the girls They all like Carmen She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes She laughs like God Her mind’s like a diamond Audiotune lies She’s still shining Like lightning, woah White lightning Baby’s all dressed up, with nowhere to go That’s the little story of the girl you know Relying on the kindness of strangers Tying cherry knots Smiling, doing party favours Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on Sing your song, song, now the camera’s on And you’re alive again Mon amour, je sais que tu m’aimes aussi Tu as besoin de moi, tu as besoin de moi dans ta vie Tu ne peux vivre sans moi Et je mourrais sans toi Je tuerais pour toi The boys, the girls They all like Carmen She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes She laughs like God Her mind’s like a diamond Audiotune lies She’s still shining Like lightning, woah White lightning Like lightning, woah White lightning Darling, darling Doesn’t have a problem lying to herself Cause her liquor’s top shelf
Its heartbreaking how this parallels to even the Indian society, a women no matter how pretty she is, she is only respected, appreciated and seen or admired correctly when she has a husband. A pretty widowed woman is pryed by the lustful eyes of men and jealous women everywhere, its as if her existence is only valuable if she is chained down to a man. it tells a lot about how society percieves beauty. It is fairly easy for average looking women but pretty women have to bear the brunt. Men think that only the husband being alive is stopping him from defiling her and he will respect that boundary that is he will respect the husband, but if she is alone widowed or unmarried men think its their right to make her "his" like an object. I feel bad for pretty women, hated and berated no matter if they are kind or not
Malena had to go through so much just because of her beauty, had to turn into a prostitute because nobody wanted to hire her, get humiliated in front of the entire town by getting her hair cut off and clothes torn off by other jealous women, people say beauty is privilege but in reality its a double edged sword, you get all the attention and compliments, hell you'll even get people to let you off the bat just because you're pretty, but then there are men on the other side prying on you, wanting to get in your pants and the jealousy of other women just waiting to strike and destroy you, in the end when people started to treat her better it wasn't because they felt guilty for humiliating her, it was because she was married and no longer a threat to them, basically because she was not independent anymore and her man's property, women like her deserve better than having predatory behavior committed against them or being struck down by other women's jealousy.
Love this song so much! Seems like Lana's handworks are with blood and even tears! Much of appreciates to Lana Del Rey putting so much efforts on any writings' moments to cheer up all the music lovers' minds! Thank You Lana Del Rey and All The Best Wishes to Lana Del Rey! 👍🏻👍🏻 2022
Last night I watch ‘Malena’ for the first time. She’s so gorgeous like Venus. I feel sorry for her too, especially the chap she stand up straight in the quiet alley, looking sad and beautiful, waiting for small bites of bread (‘I cannot pay now’). There are also 2 men I would admire and like to become, Renata and Malena’s husband because of their undeniable courage and compassion.
Just watched this movie for the first time and the song Carmen immediately came in my head. Came to RU-vid to see if anyone had combined the two and ofc Lana del rey fans already did.
In my personal opinion she is the most beautiful woman in the world and no one can replace her beauty. I have never seen such a attractive woman in my life. Really I’m just shocked.i can be very honest and i can tell you that her style isn’t my fav (I prefer blonde slavic women), but she....she is just goddess 🦋🦋🦋🕊🕊 she is unique. I’m obsessed, and jealous, i want to cry because I’m envy and jealous of her beauty, i can’t … it’s impossible, i love her and same time i hate her because of her beauty. She is the best, beeest. Best feminine energy, best face and body, best character. Just wow……
In her Interview she herself said that she like to use her beauty everyway possible meaning that her Hair ,Face,lips, Feet,nails everything that can make d screen get fire 🔥 Love 💕 Monica a goddess of eternal beuty elegance humble attitude n Gratitude
