Movie: Malena (Giuseppe Tornatore)

Beauty is a gift. If it ever becomes sin, it's only because the surroundings are full of sin - men's lust, women's hated and jealousy. Because she is alone, silent, and in grief, she becomes an easy target. Because she is different, she is being punished. In a masculine society, you'll be surprise that both men and women take advantage of this widow. Isn't it sad that women do not stand for women? Isn't it shame that men do not protect the widow from the war? Isn't it scary that not a single person can stand out and say a justice word for her? Where is the gut of truth? Where is the love and sympathy that God had put in human? There is no good intention in the whole movie except at the end of the movie, the letter the boy wrote that brought Malena and her husband back together. Dark side of human was very uncomfortable to watch. Unfortunately, it happens not only in 1940 Sicily!
