From Italy with love β€ A life inside books, music, photography, movies and TV series on Netflix ππ§πΈπ½π» Always behind the camera, seldom in front of it π Trying to send good vibes π¦ Enjoy your stay!! π
It’s always “revenge won’t give you back what you lost” and “murder is wrong” and never how was the bloody violent revenge the bloody violent revenge looked fun was it fun
The whole “heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I” gets a whole lot more profound & heartbreaking when you realise this is Paolo & Francesca telling this to each other as they’re being torn apart in the second circle of hell for their lust. Like, this isn’t just some poetic declaration of love. This is two people, condemned to be tortured for all of eternity, saying that God could give them the chance to repent over & over & they’d still choose this.
They’d rather choose to go to hell for their sins than enter a loveless heaven.
