she's been brought up from the cradle to be submissive and have no desire to think for herself, its really sad, he tries to help make her happy, to see what it is she wants for herself but as she has no imagination or anything she does not know how to be happy, thats why her character is rather a cold, miserable bitch.

I doubt the those in charge of making this movie were intending that there be an underlying theme of be a harlot if you want to be happy. It was simply the way things were. You can't change that.

The truth is while wives were not allowed to have anything not even a mind of their own courtesans had to be everything and give everything to their male clients. One was locked in a prison, the other was drained dry. This movie is sickening in that it glorifies being a courtesan when in reality while it did have its perks it also had its downside which the movie conveniently glosses over. It shows you just enough to seem like it has both sides of the story, but in reality it does not.

I hate this film because it makes it look like that it's the wives fault for being boring and prudish and that they are utterly helpless. They were living beings who had minds of their though stamped down and brainwashed as they were. In fact by being confined it challenges on to strengthen their mind according to what principles they have been afforded. Oh and if you actually read the book this film is based on you will find that Veronica was very different and so was the life of a courtesan.

For you out there who condemn this woman being who she was raised and expected by men to be have a heart. She is doing her best to please Marco in the only way she knows how and has been raised to do. She is not a bitch. In one scene she actually worries about him. Marco is an ass. He could at the very least accept her as his friend. His first mistake was comparing her against Veronica. She will never be Veronica. It is unfair to try to hold her to that standard.

[miskobriedis]

what movie is this ?

[dokkkia]

"she'll never be like veronica"? i think this is what the movie is all about, we're all like her but we are taughted to fear.. "if she is a witch, then all the women in venice are"-remember? this lady is a victim of the mentality of her century and of all centuries..things like this still happen

[roguefem]

This scene makes me feel bad for both of them. They're both trying so hard, but there's this uncrossable chasm of differences between them. She'll never be like Veronica, and he will probably never be the sort of stodgy, uptight husband she was trained to please. It's very sad.

She looks like Nicole from far away!
