| Casanova
|
Many of us know the name Casanova as the name of a man who seduces women but never falls in love with any of them... a player in modern terms... In the movie... Casanova finally meets his match... When he was young Casanova's mother left him but promised she would be back for him one day and aske him to stay in Venice until then... While waiting... Casanova occupies his time by courting women... Time and time again he was caught but never charged because he had the support of the Prince of Venice... But Casanova had pushed it a little too far when seduced a virgin who was supposed to marry a very powerful man... The Prince tells Casanova to find himself a respectable bride to change his reputation... He sets his sights on the famous Venice Virgin, Victoria, but a shy young man Giovanni Bruni has been in love with her for a long time and when he finds out she is engaged to Casanova, he challenges Casanova to a duel but Casanova gave him a different name, Lupo... However being a gentle man... he gets his much more talented sister, Francesca Bruni, to duel for him in secret... When Casanova, realises he was duelling with Francesca he continues to hide his identity because he was starting to fell in love with her... Things get nasty when Casanova finds out Francesca is writing as Guardi, a man who critises the small-mindedness of men in that era... and that she was also engaged to Paprizzio... He then pretends to be Prapizzio and uses all his efforts to win her heart... In the mean time, an inquisition has been made on Casanova and Guardi... During a ball everything reveals itself... Casanova confesses his love for Francesca... she finds out he is Casanova and that he knows she is Guardi... Casanova is caught and then he confesses to being Guardi as well and was charged... But Francesca was in too deep and in fact was in love with Casanova... she confessed to be the real Guardi and they were both charged and sentenced to hang to death... But then out of nowhere Casanova's mother and her partner came in disguise to save Casanova and Francesca but was foiled... Now they are on the run and with the help of everyone they know they sailed away from Venice with Giovanni Bruni stayed behind to marry Victoria, and took over the legend of Casanova... Casanova and Francesca ended up happily every after...
The movie was pretty good compared to how badly it's been doing in the box office... It's funny, witty and charming... I like the fact that in the end the legend of Casanova lives on through someone else rather than the real one... Yeah I enjoyed it... Cheers...Labels: movie |
