The best beginning of any film to date.


I can't think of a better way to spend a few minutes than watching that hot guy sleeping naked.

I wish I had been the lucky one who got to wrap that nice package!

I'll second that opinion!

I'll third that. Best opening I ever saw in a film. The camera was absolutely in love with his body! Still gives me goosebumps thinking of that scene where there's a close up of the protuberance of his nipple.

I have the gift of gab

Agreed!

A thousand dreams that would awake me, different colours made of tears

You're not kidding. The camera gazes at young Mr. Dallesandro like it could eat him up with a spoon. No matter how much you dislike his thuggish accent or his dim witted laid back attitude, you can't deny you are looking at a beautiful man. Even his fingernails were pretty in the scene where he was feeding his son.

Since he isn't TRYING to be sexy, the way he comes across reminds me of when I look at a breathtaking piece of art or nature scene. People like him are why English has expressions like "sight for sore eye" or "easy on the eyes". Dallesandro makes the over muscled, pretty boy, freaks of today look even more odd.

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
