I loved this movie, but the only true thing about it was the fact that Farinelli and his brother were real people. Absolutely everything else in this film is sheer fabrication.
Anyone know the name of a similar-ish period film about an actor who plays female parts on the stage who - if memory serves - trains a woman to play a woman on stage? All I can recall is a moment from the trailer where the actor admonishes the woman that she can't preform on stage because she doesn't even know the "six female attitudes" (or something to that effect) that a man must learn to play a woman on stage.
Ein sehr schöner Film, nur die Szene mit der Kakerlake war unnötig ("Ohne musik kann er ja gar nicht existieren"), da wäre eine traumszene mit Spezialeffekten angebracht gewesen. Es war lobenswert, auch die Musik von Broschi dem Zuschauer nahe zu bringen. Ich weiss nicht, wieviel davon wahr ist, aber falls es der Grossteil ist, muss die Frau, die ihm auf seine alten Tage begleitet hat, ein grosses Herz gehabt haben.
exactly like, they could have at least hired a young androgynous looking actor instead, farinelli was likely not particularly masculine since he got castrated at 12 and didn't go through normal male puberty
A castrate can't have normal sex like depicted in the movie it's just not possible due lack of testosterone also he wouldn't have a lean musculous body but movie seems good besides that.
True, those guys looked like boys with cute faces and feminine features, boyish body or Klinelter body alike but they weren't manly and lean looking. That shows you how real castrato looked like- literally like a boy with girlish features ua-cam.com/video/N9SKobBO6gY/v-deo.html&feature=share
@@tereziekartakova6280 there is few articles online about it. It may not be true as some were asexual, some homosexual - especially those with prominent breasts - not all had those, some couldn't get proper erections and they had very small sizes and well - they faces looked like teeage boy faces with girlish features so they were just strange looking ( small heads, long legs and arms, plumpy around hips)
@@ultron374 If you think the only way how to be intimate with someone is with penis and classic penetration, you don´t have very good imagination in this area of life. According to my source, eunuchs were favorite lovers of some ladies because 1. you won´t get pregnant and 2. they were more resourceful (in opposite of many "normal" heterosexual men). They lost only balls, sometimes balls and penis, not their hands, lips, voice and the rest of the body. Also, having face of young boy and unusual androgynous proportions is very attractive to some people (both men and women). Not every woman likes rough, hairy men. Personally, I think androgynous people are often very attractive, too (like Tilda Swinton, David Bowie, Gwendoline Christie or a few of my friends). There is something alluring on their alien, elvish beauty.
This movie is so similar to the musical I’m writing. It’s about a castrati in the 1600s who becomes a famous Shakespeare actor who plays women onstage. He was castrated as a twelve year old and taken into the home of a woman who wasn’t his father. I don’t plan on this pseudo father figure grooming him, but this man, Mr. Westchester, becomes very possessive of Ira, the young castrated man, because he will “never grow up” and remain mr. Westchester’s son, as well as a source of income, forever.
“They stole the gift that man him a man to give him the voice that made him a god.”
That’s metal
Detonator feelings, the son of the god of metal, the vocal of Massacration 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Amazing soundtrack and a beautiful movie (despite a scene that I couldn't watch because I'm too squeamish.
He looks like vitas
Isn't that where he got the inspiration from?
Dionisi è pazzesco qui
SRY; THE DESCRIPTION IS VERY SUPERFICIAL: tHE MOVIE HAS MUCH MORE DEEPER MEANINGS1

Yeah I know nothing of this situation what so ever, but that’s what I was getting out of it by just watching this
I do hope the music and costumes are real D:
Well , Amico ...
We are dealing with operàtic matters here , capisci ?
Documentaries are probably more suited to your interests.
Salute !!!😊

That's partly the plot of Shakespeare in love.
@@tracynerdgirl5648 It's Stage Beauty with Billy Crudup. I've never seen it, but I remember it from VHS previews.
Watch Stage Beauty, it's great! Especially the ending scene on stage.
Wenn der selige Milos Forman diesen Film gedreht hätte, wäre es der Oberklassiker (z.b. mit Händels chaconne g dur) geworden
Looks like, the word "Castrato" is a mistery for some people.

Can't a castrati just be a castrati? Why do they have to be portrayed as muscular and banging women?
I was thinking the same thing. They cut off his balls to make him sing that high.
A large part of the audience will be lost: women.

@@marcr2661 This movie was filmed in the 90's. They had to market it in a way that was appealing/amusing to heterosexual people.
@@GabrielaLtc um fuck you. This might be a shock to you but women don't watch movies solely to ogle 'muscular men banging women'.
Where can I watch the movie in English?
Never mind I found it on Roku Channel in English! 😃

It is probably hard to imagine for average heterosexual man, but the castrati were known to be awesome lovers.
