seven Females and a Dick

Wow..the amount of sexual flirtation and teasing to the"eye". I bet the Malaysian Film Board are probably having a tough time with censorship. So if you have not watched the movie then I suggest to please DO NOT continue reading.

Just a warn, this is not any stereotypical romantic movie. The storyline is a whole different one. The movie Nine starts with the protagonist Guido, a famous movie director directing his next big film named "Italia". This movie revolves around Guido's life, now having to experience his biggest downfall of his career; when a director loses his creativity. Trying to water the seeds of his artistry, he seeks ideas from those who inspired, influenced and supported his life. Hard to believe that most of these influential people were actually females. Guido is such a womanizer.

What I really love about this movie is the use of musical acts to portray an idea or to deliver an idea. Each of the seven females have their very own musical act which was perfectly orchestrated
Guido escapes his press conference and he settles for a hotel. After calling his wife and persuading her to not "make" such an effort to come and visit him when he was mentally "tiring" sick, Guido calls his long time lover and admirer.
Played by the sexy Spanish goddess, Miss Penelope Cruz is Carla, Guido's long time mistress. Carla gave a sexy steamy seductive musical scene confessing her love, lust and sexual tension for Guido.A flashback scene showing Guido's first encounter with a woman, a stripper/whore name Saraghina played by Miss Fergie. This started Guido's intuition of the female body; temptation of the female body is what mainly and made a part of Guido. The scene encourages Guido's love for women. It's like stirring a bowl of hot fun sex.

Luisa Contini played by Marion Cotillard is Guido's beloved wife. Her part of the musical confesses her love for her husband, how she struggles and scarifices for her husband. Was an actress but ended her career to be her directors wife.
And who will not forget the amazing American journalist, Stephanie played by Kate Hudson. Full of life and energy, her musical act is a depiction of how Guido is in the limelight of fashion and stars. How exciting it is to be in an Italian movie, the men, the designers and the fashion. Life of the glamor stream. Like playing with fire, Guido was with her when he had a huge arguement with his wife. Well Im not going to tell you what happens, so you got to watch the movie :)

The star of Guido's movies, the lovely and classy, the bishop's favourite Miss Claudia, played by Nicole Kidman. She sang of what is love and that love is a lie, whether to love or to not love. She assisted Guido, making him realized that he has taken far too much for granted. He had the fame, he had the support, most of all he had the love.

Last is the two women who were not Guido's love interest but he gave them unconditional love for who they are. His Mamma and Lilli his movie costume designer. Lilli played by Judi Dench is the person who Guido seeks advice from. He tries to escape his daily troubles and consults Lilli for advise. Mamma however played by the famous and beautiful Sophia Loren appears in and out of Guido's life like an imaginary friend. She is not real in the movie but she still appears to give Guido encouragement even if its just only by her presence.


A man's greatest fall and weakness is women. How women create desires and infatuation, or it could be just plain simple love. Distract, mislead, guide or encourage, it took seven women to mold a man. Nine was bloody hell good and I love it!!!
