Abuse
I just watched the movie again last night (obsession...) and when Riccio gets yelled at by Dottore Massimo, it looks as though Scipio's been hit across his eye, because he has a small scar there and his eyes look red.
Does anyone else notice that? It's makes me feel so bad for Scipio... I wonder if his dad is actually abusive to him...
"Is that gonna happen everytime we...we hit that button?"
