    We all talked about leaving, going to the outside world and doing great things, but we just said that, still indulging in mediocrity, squandering terrifying enthusiasm, fantasizing about possible fame, so the days went slowly like this But it slips by quickly, we still have nothing to do, the wasted years are desolate songs, babbling can't be sung in tune, whether happy or sad, when we really leave, we are too old to travel...

    Fellini is very good at sensationalizing in the most vulgar places, and the comedy of "The Swingers" comes from the conflict between the two: his protagonists are all acting like jerk, but the method of shooting is lyrical. This complicates Fellini's attitude, apparently laughing at the old boys, but not making up his mind to criticize them thoroughly. The provincial capital of the film is just like these young people who have not grown up, and they are returning to their old ways day by day....

    Finally watched it. Not as good as imagined. However, the attachment of Italian boys to their mothers is really the envy of all mothers in the world. He is also a middle-aged who was spoiled by his mother. How can people know that they love their mother so much? A spoiled child has no middle age, only a lifetime of promiscuous adolescence....

    Perhaps the most repelling thing in my heart is nihilism, but I have encountered such a nihilistic character as the rambunctious Faust. Most of the time in the movie is about his story, looking for fun, making his beautiful sweet sister belly big, forced to get married, and fishing for married young women. The story of a man full of sluts has been heard 10,000 times in this ruthless society, and I knew that in the end he would make his emotions miserable. My favorite character in the film is...

    A meaningful tragicomedy. The male protagonist is very familiar, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered that it was the boy in "Shoe Shine...

    The male protagonist is actually a child in the shoe shine boy! Eyes, eyes! 2020.12.27 These early actors in Fellini's films are full of comedy cells. Alberto Sordi is so charming (Gosh I like him the...

    Too real too real. The exact same story is being played out in countless counties in China today. During the transition period of traditional society, the equality of men and women on the surface of society changed the ordering of social species and the competition rules for ecological niches. And all families and individuals are still heavily patriarchal, and they have also nurtured more diverse competitors. A considerable number of boys are spoiled and pampered, and grow into giant babies who...

    [Fellini Centennial Exhibition@Changsha] Fellini's films are a bit colder, probably because the theme of the lost youth in these small towns is not so novel, and there are better works than this one, but in general It is said that the degree of completion is very high, and the filming is very human. The several homeless people the film focuses on have their own characteristics, and the humorous and interesting details make people laugh. After the accident, he eventually grew into a real man,...

    4.8 Fellini's "Faust", Hou Hsiao-hsien's "The Man from the Windbox" has stolen a lot of teachers, and it is no wonder that Hou Hsiao-hsien once said that Fellini had a profound influence on it. Five hooligans, a youth travel, comfortable and light. Every friend who has had or is having youth can find himself in this film. A montage at the end awakens the dream that never...

I Vitelloni quotes

  • Narrator: We all talked about leaving, but only one of us, one morning, without a word to a soul, actually left.

  • Sergio Natali: [to Leopoldo and his mates, who have gathered at Natali's dressing room to visit him] Forgive the candle. In these second-rate theaters, they always steal the light bulbs. May I offer you a cigarette? They're domestic, you know. American cigarettes are very bad for you.
