![]() Maladolescenza nudity full#And I tend to believe the director was full of $h|t stating the political commentary thing, cause even at the end Sylvia shows she's scared some time before and the boy still longs for her all that time. I don't see anywhere as much depth that at least 2 of you see in this flick. And in the end she was the victim of murder. ![]() Yeah she was pretty damn strong-minded, yet again she was the one invited to that group, not the other way around. Meaning that even if it was that case of him being lured (which I say it's not, at least not with intent), I don't see any of the severe bad $h|t associated with some kind of "taking a stand" in that situation as justifiable (and those bad stand takin' actions I identify with rape, theft, property destruction and should have added murder to those). Oh, no, when I did speak about rape and property destruction and such I was taking some steps ahead in connection with "lured to her world by beauty and wealth". But Murgia was definitely thinking he was doing something revolutionary at the time. The innocent, but now wiser girl escapes to regain her dignity. By the time the angry young man rebels and kills the corrupt leader, he has already doomed himself through his collaboration. Only when truly put under duress does the cruel rich girl crack, and show herself to be weak and cowardly. Loeb even terrorizes Lara with a German shepherd, reminiscent of the Nazi's dogs. Loeb smashes the rich family's window early on, but can't bring himself to later. The innocent is then stalked, preyed upon, bullied and tormented and exploited, raped literally and figuratively, by the minion on the cruel rich. The evil comes in pretty packaging, and lures the angry young man into the fold, into its servitude, through sex and materialism. Eva represents the spoiled, bratty, wealthy, selfish, and cruel bourgeois class. Martin Loeb represents the "angry young man" who is actually of the working classes as well, but yearns for more. It is a dark fairy tale, set in an enchanted forest, wherein Lara Wendel represents the innocent, trusting, loving, caring socialist proletariat. It is not supposed to be a coming of age story. Like "Salo", the film is meant to be a metaphorical mediation on fascism, and the corruption of the innocent. He said he was attempting a film in the vein of Pasolini's "Salo". But, one with political undertones relevant to his youth. Murgia actually intended the film as a HORROR film. Thus, it immediately seems like soft core child porn. We see a confusing, disturbing "coming of age" type of film. That obvious argument aside, people are usually so shocked by this film, and more so confused, because we are seeing it completely out of context. This kind of film would never, ever be made this way today. The thing is, one can argue (perhaps legitimately) that this is simply wrong all the way around to make a film like this the way in which they made it (ie, using VERY young actors to enact this type of thing). I found an old interview with Pier Giuseppe Murgia, where he talked at length about it. Where I come from, boys often are dicks, but they have mostly grown out of that by that age, and adolescent girls are rebellious. Was that her version of being cruel? I'm sorry, I grew up in the 70s, in Germany which is culturally similar, and I can't connect this to anything I myself encountered. She doesn't really fight back, she doesn't walk away, she doesn't try to turn onto her abusers (an easy thing would have been to steal the others' clothes while they were busy having sex) and she doesn't even help the other girl in the end when that one is terrified being stuck in the cave. But then the brunette girl, the victim – how can anyone exhibit such an utter lack of self-preservation?! Apparently she never ever gets that there isn't anything good coming out of it for her, over a period of presumably several weeks. ![]() The blonde girl appears to exhibit a "normal" level of cruelty, and probably also plays along to get the boy's attention. Moreover, he is supposed to be 17, at the edge of adulthood, yet he acts like a spoiled brat. How am I supposed to relate to that? That's not about the normal troubles of adolescence – the boy is a borderline psychopath, getting off on cruelty, showing no signs of empathy, a complete narcicist. But this boy isn't occasionally cruel, he is consistently cruel apart from a few lapses, and in the end he murders one the girls. Kids occasionally or maybe often also being cruel, ok, true to reality. ![]() ![]() Ok, kids growing up developing sexual feelings, legitimate topic, fine. But I couldn't relate to it in any positive way either. Not because of the nudity or simulated sex, I'm kinda ok with that (except that I don't understand why any parent would make their kid play such a role).
