Review of Cassanova

MESSAGE: True love means sacrifice, devotion, selflessness and is the only kind of love of lasting value.

WIN: Appreciation of womanly beauty was very charming. Very aesthetic cinematography of Venice. The multiple mistaken identity twists were very playful, as was the movie's overall tone.

LOSE: Incongruous honesty, goodness, cheerfulness in the main character, doesn't fit the profile of one promiscuous.

EFFECT ON ME: It rekindled an aspect of romance that I had forgotten about, which was the pure attraction to beauty that a man can have in harmony with a sex drive. This led me to greater admiration for men knowing that they can admire beauty. And I was able to conceive my own beauty.

(If you are wondering why I have "Effect on Me" as a category, it is because I am part of a movement of artists who produce "Effective Art." It is so named by the late visual artist and writer Bruce Gilham, Sr., because these artists care about the effect their art has on people.)

Sincerely,Becky
