Death in Venice (1971)

Probably one of the best movie every made in movie history, Death in Venice directed by Luchino Visconti is a perfect movie. A beautiful music with a beautiful score by the famous classical artist Gustav Mahler, this movie is the perfect role model of what a movie should be. Loosely based off the famous novel written by Thomas Mann, the story follows a man who stays at a sandbar called Lido di Venezia where he becomes deeply obsessed with a young Polish boy named Tadzio, because of his beauty, who is coincidentally staying in the same hotel. In the end, Gustav witness Taizo getting beaten by an older boy on the beach, which is heightened with the beautiful Adagietto by Mahler, where Gustav suffers from a heart attack and dies. In the eyes of the general public, this movie is too complex and intellectually great which alienates them from this movie. However I incredibly loved this movie and had no comment once the movie ended because of its sheer beauty. This is a true form of art which should have more recognition. This can be compared to something like Michaelangelo or Da Vinci. Dirk Bogarde plays Gustav with all integrity and plays him with complete emotional substance. It's just to great too see his performance in the film. In my opinion, the movie is just pure beauty and is just absolutely perfect. I give it a perfect score of 100 out of 100.
