La casa de las palomas

I'm pretty certain that John Woo did not get his flying doves idea from this movie, no matter what the title here suggest. I guess there is a deeper meaning to the doves (beautiful but caged maybe?) to the overall story. Having said that, the main male character could have done with a bit more charisma. The fact every other girl is falling for his looks is almost ridiculous considering how empty he seems inside.

Then again, some may say that is jealousy speaking and that women (girls in some case here, especially when we talk about Ornella Mutti) like to help men - especially those who seem vulnerable yet are hot (look fine). Not what I am saying mind you, you could argue the movie is making a bit of point in that direction. The way it starts with how he is put on a pedestal ... he couldn't have lived up to it ... again charsma and all that. So while there is some drama and the movie has its merits (not so much in the nudity department if that is what floats your boat), there have been better "relationship" movies
