Ce que veulent les femmes / What Women Want – Nancy Meyers – 2001
Avec Mel Gibson, Helen Hunt

Mel Gibson n’hésite pas à écorner son image virile et belliqueuse dans ce portrait d’un publiciste macho pourvu d’un curieux don de télépathie : il peut lire dans la pensée des femmes.

amenizar, dar uma nuance


Explanation:
creio que o verbo está empregado em alusão a seu sentido próprio, original, que é a prática de cortar os chifres dos bodes, ainda em uso entre os capricultores franceses e italianos. (porque não sei, talvez para evitar serem chifrados proprio senso...). a interpretação seria então, amenizar, adociar sua imagem de durão, algo assim.
