Okay, "The Decameron" (1971) is Actually Kinda Deep, Right?

Alright, so I finally got around to watching "The Decameron" (1971). Yeah, I know, I'm late to the party, but it's been on my watchlist FOREVER. Okay, so like... on the surface it's basically a bunch of raunchy stories, right? Lots of folks doing the no-no in fields and whatnot, and those nuns were WILDING, lol. But hear me out, guys. I started thinking about it and the way Pasolini (duh) presents everything, and I'm starting to think it's less about shock value and more about... accepting human nature as it is? Specifically, I'm stuck on that one story with Masetto, the gardener pretending to be mute in the convent. It's obviously played for laughs (and it IS funny), but the fact that *all* those nuns, young and old, are craving some action says something about societal expectations during that time. Like, repressing desires just leads to, well, a horny free-for-all. And the rich dude being swindled twice but then striking it rich at the end? It's seems to suggest that things even themself out somehow in the end. I think what Pasolini is trying to tell us is that there's beauty and humor even in the 'dirtiness' of life. It is really just about how humans are humans. It's definitely not a film I expected to be pondering this much, tbh. The visuals are gorgeous, of course, but the lasting impression isn't the nudity, it's the commentary behind it. Plus, it's cool to see that Pasolini acted as one of the characters. This guy *definitely* had something to say with this one. So, thoughts? Am I reading too much into this, or is there genuinely something a little deeper going on in this film beyond the obvious stuff? I'm kinda struggling with this one for sure. Let me know what you guys think!
