ON THE DEATH OF MARY SCHNEIDER, AND THE WEIGHT OF (SOME) WORDS ...
I made a great impression, and of course very sad to learn of the death of Maria Schneider . The chronicles tell us that she let go, he had given up on life long before it was attacked by the disease. A sad fate and somehow announced that it has taken away a woman of 58 years that life has given fame, but not happiness.
Maria Schneider has danced for one summer, that the 1972 film, a role, a conviction. Last Tango in Paris at the same time he made his fortune and his damnation. In what has become today the world of entertainment, some stars and starlets would make false papers for two decades to become the sexiest woman on the planet. Schneider was the almost despite himself, playing one of the most controversial film 'Scandal' of film history and eventually be overtaken by the role that 'damn'.
not be astonished. Many actors have been left 'slaves' of a character, who has always put up their careers: think only Anthony Perkins (Psycho), Malcolm McDowell (Clockwork Orange) or Bela Lugosi (Dracula), whose interpretations were also serious consequences on their privacy.
But Mary Schneider's speech was different. She, naive and disenchanted twenty, he realized not reading the script for what would be his role in 'Last Tango'. She accepted the part with the unconscious and the boldness of those who want to forge ahead in his career, and certainly did not imagine the carnage and moral media that was reserved for the critically received and bigoted '70s. And not only that ... the film was declared blasphemous by the courts in much of the world, in Italy it was even condemned 'the stake', as in the times of the Holy Inquisition. And Schneider was regarded as an evil witch, by point and mark as a negative example, became the stone of the scandal around the globe.
Words are stones, "said Carlo Levi . And I think that the death of Maria Schneider should make us reflect once more on how to go about the weight and use that when you give moral judgments about people. With us the poor Mia Martini is dead for this, and many others still suffer from this absurd media pillory. And the rule should apply to anyone who writes, from the most acclaimed critics until the last of the amateurs like myself. In a world of mass-dominated media, where thanks to the web news in few seconds around the world, the use of the word is weighed and doubly planned, because none of us can have the life of a person, even with a pen (or keyboard) in hand.
