Don't you think Jeanne (Maria) was over reacting just a tad murdering MB? Where in her personality in the movie do we get, even an inkling, that she is capable of murder? She's a cutie with a great tush, bubbly, fun, passionate, sexual with no hint of a temper or hostility. Now, all of a sudden, after he tells her, quite tenderly, that he loves her: bang!! Don't get it...What was Bertolucci thinking?
Follow Ups:
less of temper or hostility, more of fear and loathing. I mean, she's got a psycho, balding guy stalking her all the way back to her apartment. (The earlier trysts were all in a neutral, non-committal rented room.)In her eyes, he did not become 'nice' or 'tender' in the latter part of the film. He became mundane, ordinary, loathsome.
Anyway, I don't disagree with you. I think the film is full of shit anyway. Maybe, in the 70's, people went to see it for it's graphic sexual content. But now there are less encumbered sources.
