Thanks for uploading. The wonderful thing of Youtube is you can find almost anything you miss here.

This is the first time I've seen this film. I feel like I've been on some other world while I was watching it, it's so strange and sad. How seperate and alone everyone seemed, especially Gustav. He seemed the most foreign of all.

In the holy trinity of lost world classics along with Peter Pan and Lolita

There's a mistake in the subtitling towards the end of the film, when Aschenbach asks about the luggage and the subtitle goes "...Mrs Moore's (?) and her family". The receptionist says "Mrs Moes", which was actually the surname of the real Tadzio that inspired Mann when he visited Venice in 1911

A masterpiece. One of my favorite movies. Each time I watch it, I cry. The loss of youth and loneliness are the central subject of that beautiful film. The search for perfection too, of course. First time I saw it, I was totally overwhelmed, nearly "traumatized" by so much emotions. Malher's haunting music is also one of the main elements that create that feeling I guess. Dirk Bogarde was simply amazing as Aschenbach who, in the original book, was a writer not a composer.

Wow.

Take heed of every opportunity you are given, don't die regretting not having told someone you love them dearly.

Thankyou I really wanted to see this film

Uma obra de arte, como não se faz mais no mundo, o cinema elevado a arte sublime. Nem os americanos tentaram fazer uma adaptação, porque não puderam,não tinha jeito. Reproduzir as cenas, em locações reais, de que jeito? Os atores, muitos alocados em Veneza, nem tinham jeito de atores, eram habitantes do local.Tadzio? Fez este filme e desapareceu. Gustav Mhaler/ Maravilhoso. E Luchino Visconti, cuja familia ainda tem um castelo na Itália? Um filme pra se degustar, como caviar.....

@funkfanzzify Yes, good response.

[funkfanzzify]

@slobomotion this is about beauty, not about sexuality. The composer Gustav is questining himself: "What is the need to make a piece of beauty (music composition in this case), when there is beauty created by God? ( in this case the beauty of a young boy). It is the artists point of vieuw. You can call it "muse"or "inspiration". Where does it come from etc.

Uprated. Shared. Favorited.

@Kainlarsen This is a good movie, and Lord knows, Visconti did a few stinkers. This story raises a lot of issues and themes for people of every stripe. If you've been to Venice, this one is particularly striking, of course. I still recognize one of the bridges shown here. I'm an artist so find this very touching. If nothing else, the costumes and details are fantastic!
