I can´t say I only have one favourite movie scene. There are many great scenes and many great movies to choose from. But today I'll talk about "La teta asustada", it's a peruvian film from 2009 directed by Claudia Llosa. It´s a beatiful movie that talks about ancestral traditions in Perú that lies in rapped women. The leyend says that the fear is transmitted to the daughter trough the breast milb and as a defense method the girl has to put a potato in her vagina.
All the time I was watching the movie I tough that it was a metaphor but it wasn't. Ther is a scene where the main character visit the doctor because she was feeling very sick. When the doctor realized the reason he was shocked and tried to explain her that it was just a myth. The girl dind't listen and she keeps on taking care of the potato by cutting the root directly from her body part.
It's a very strong movie that express the women's fear for men and the violence that this world actually means.
Oh, someone had recommended to me to see this movie. The scene is very strong and represents the violence of our society :(
ResponderEliminarI've never heared about this movie. The scene that you describe it's very strong, and the theme about women's violence it's worrying. Maybe I'll watch this movie soon.
