Malena (2000)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
Prime Monica Bellucci plays Malena, a young beauty in a small Italian town, whose husband is away in Africa fighting in WW2. Malena keeps her head down while out in public, but the women resent her and the men lust after the unattainable goddess and so crack vulgar jokes amongst themselves, while keeping a respectful distance. The teenage boys follow her around and can only talk in hushed whispers when she’s in sight and mimic their elders when by themselves.

Renato is one of the younger boys, eager-faced and hopeful that the bigger boys will include him in their activities. Renato’s initial problems are that he’s stuck in his boyish shorts and that father won’t allow him to wear long pants. But then he sees Malena and obsessively begins to stalk her, even finding a vantage tree outside her house from which he can spy on her. As rumours borne out of jealousy begin to spread about Malena, Renato feels protective and even hurt, when claims are made against her chastity.

Malena makes up for its dramatic side actors with leads that are good for their parts, while also quite beautifully capturing fantasies that a lot of men would have had at some point during their boyhoods. It’s also for this reason possibly, that the movie never really courted the outrage that it might have, had scenes similar to here been filmed elsewhere, but with the genders reversed.

People, please tell me the lowlife fuck-up who’s enjoying himself by spreading dirt down there is the pedo slime all of us know too much about already.
I had sworn I’d never consider or name that piece of shit, but what’s written doesn’t feel like the names mentioned.

Whatever, this here is addressed to the geniuses who pushed for a special page to protect the movie pages from nonsense : Please, next time you want our behaviour to be controlled, try to make sure you consider every aspect of the question before like : are we sure we can channel the content of the page and the behavior of people, so their weirdness doesn’t grow into something sordid and grotesque, most of all on this site? Wondering about that would easily let you know it could only fuck up.

Some of us are weird, some of us are sordid, some of us are insane. And the creative page caused some of us to dive deeper into their insanity and their grotesque, and drag along a few people down there with them…

I don’t know what the fuck is going on in these comments. I have only commented under my “Meow” name.

I am not this fake Admin person. I don’t know if it’s even Tamir or just another immature piece of shit. As if those two things are any different…

Anyway believe it or not I decided to give the movie a watch just because.

Malena is sexy ASF and I’d let her beat the shit out of me. However I feel like a few scenes are just the directors fucked up fetishes.

I watched two movies today, “The Hunt” (not the one with the Hannibal guy) and “Unwelcome.”

I guess all of the Irish are truly scary.

Also my left knee still FUCKING HURTS FOR NO REASON!!!
