    There is no way to evaluate, it is already a movie that I can't put down my posture and accept it happily. Watching such clumsy sadness and joy, my heart is full of...

    Fellini's love and apology to his wife... It turns out that iron lungs cry too. I still prefer "The Fool", in fact, I like the heroine, but I knew she would choose a husband, so I walked away with a smile. Understand why it's crazy, like, the person who told her the meaning of life was killed by the person she thought was her meaning. Both are equally important to her. Get can't get the character and machismo of the male lead, but she loves him. I thought maybe it was because she felt useful to...

    Nino Rota composes a god-level song, and Giulietta Masina's big eyes are close-up and I really feel sorry for them. In using the circus table to present the fate of women at the bottom, no matter how funny the performance is, it can't resist the tragedy of Stockholm syndrome - if the heroine chooses to stay in the troupe or go with the second man, it may be Happy Ending, but Life made her unable to choose, and every joke-like irony of the night boy became a prophecy. The push-track feature that...

    Attempting to generalize Fellini's films with a fixed theme is difficult and futile. Because the core of his films is always a dream-like mixture of intertwined and overlapping layers of consciousness. It seems to me that the greatness of Fellini's "The Great Road" is reflected in the smallness of its core. Giulietta not only added a touch of light and sadness to Fellini's infinitely expansive private paradise, but also brought a more or less realistic comment to their married life. The simple...

    It was disgusting for the 33-year-old heroine to pretend to be tender, and this woman's role as Fellini's wife also shows how bad Fellini's taste is. Fellini's film camera has always been disgusting. He doesn't seem to understand when to use close-up and close-up. If you say that the film directors at that time were all idiots, it would be wrong. At least, the other two - Antonioni and Papa Solini knows everything, not to mention...

    Why does it remind me of the dancers in the dark and the disgusted pine nuts, I really can't stand stupid women, brainwashed by a word and a stone. Of course, some women will feel that they love and give silently in love like this, and men don't know how to cherish them until they lose them. I don't drink this chicken soup [bye bye]. In addition, there is no breakthrough in...

    That gypsy has a great sense of humor, understands things, doesn't depend on others, and sees his own destiny very clearly. Because the resources in his hands are extremely limited, he is more likely to act aggressively, and he can't stand the ridicule of others. He killed two people before and after, and he did not dare to accept the love that appeared around him, and he did not have the ability to control his own beautiful life. The girl is very kind at heart, and she also faces life...

    The sad look in Fellini's wife's eyes is like a tailor-made character, full of emotion, and there is only one regret after reading it. The clown's forced smile in front of the audience, who knows the hardships and pain behind it, the real performance is moving, and who can we blame for the difficulty of life, can you still see the road...

    #Film Archive# "The Great Road" is recognized as a turning point in Italian post-war cinema. It has taken a striking first step in the internalization and personalization of the aesthetic point of view and the anti-drama and anti-plot in the technique. In a sense, it was the guiding work of the Western modernist film that emerged in the mid-1950s, and its novel and unique creative spirit is one of the main reasons why it has won so many international...

La Strada quotes

  • Zampanò: [reciting his act by rote before a crowd] Here we have a piece of chain that is a quarter of an inch thick. It is made of crude iron, stronger than steel. With the simple expansion of my pectoral muscles, or chest, that is, I'll break the hook.

    [collecting money from the crowd]

    Zampanò: Thank you, thank you. Now, to do this feat, I must fill myself up like a tire. If a blood vessel should break, I would spit blood. For instance, in Milan a man weighing 240 pounds lost his eyesight doing this trick. That is because the optical nerves take a beating, and once you lose your eyes, you are finished. If there's any delicate person in the audience, I would advise him to look away 'cause there could be blood.

    [with seemingly great effort, he breaks the chain]

  • Gelsomina's Mother: She's not like Rosa. But she's a good girl, poor thing. She'll do what she's told. She just came out a little strange. But, if she eats every day, maybe she'll get better.
