2010s Holy Girl

The reason the Holy Girl was selected for the film was because the subject matter the film portrays. The film was selected due to the nature of the film being somewhat dark because Amalia gets molested by Doctor Jano and confuses it for something involving her spiritual awakening. Amalia also believes that Jano is in need of saving from eternal damnation in hell. This film is important because the film involves Amalia quest to save the doctor and also she seems to develop an infatuation with her molester. The film is important because in a way it involves the Catholic faith and issues of molestation but, it could also be used to discuss how the church had issues confronting molestation in the past, now a days the church has tried to push these issues under the rug, which should not be the case. These issues of molestation and faith must be dealt with because if we do not confront these past issues, they will continue to haunt those tormented by these past conflicts. The film was also selected because another issue today is a breach of doctor, patient agreement regarding the issues of feeling their patients. Janos kind of uses Amalia’s trust of him against her and uses her sexuality for his advantage. Amalia later begins to show signs of supposed feelings for the doctor, now wanting to use her newly developed sexuality against the doctor, who used his sexuality against her. Another important issue the film confronts is the issue of dealing with sexual maturity and coming of age, Amalia learns of sexuality and it begins to prosper against the backdrop of the film. Amalia learns of her sexuality which they typically avoid talking about in a setting involving the church. This was also shown for the mature, dark subject matter exhibited in the film, Amalia learns about her sexuality and power, she has.
