The Sweet Life Comments

    The Christ hanging from the helicopter has directly denied the existence of "God" since the beginning. "Sweet" has the loose narrative tendency of later works. Beneath Fellini's circus-style hymns and caricature-style characters, undercurrents herald the spiritual crisis of "people who have had enough", which is homogeneous with the alienation and architectural space presented by Antonioni. They are imprisoned and overwhelmed by the "sweetness" of life. The nightmare of the traffic jam at the...

    Don't mess with me. This movie has no purpose. It's easier to live in poverty than living in a prison built with money and hanging out in high society wearing a mask. You are Eve, Mother, Sister, Lover, Friend, Angel, Satan, Earth, Home. 1. Actress in Rome at night 2. It rains on the set of the Virgin 3. Indoor oriental women 4. Typing at seaside restaurants 5. Accompanying father to nightclubs 6. A group of dancing girls and clowns 7. Dad is uncomfortable and gone 7. Echoes of cheating in the...

    A Fellini work that is elegant and gorgeous to the extreme. The theme is similar to Antonioni's "Adventures". The group scenes in several nightclubs, fountains, villas, and castles are very exciting, and the men and women who are carnival and indulging in the scene are calmly recorded with a wide-screen panning lens. And several crazy and absurd nightclub performances, party fun, religious ceremonies and exorcism ceremonies are metaphors for the disorder and collapse of the rational world. The...

    Only Italians can do it, and most of the time I'm just the sea monster at the end of the credits who is dead for three days and still looks at...

    Paparazzi. An interview during the filming, a part of the Trevi Fountain, Anita Ekberg in the interview video is even more beautiful. 2020.12.20 is like the eight and a half of another part, the strange thing is that I only have the first half in my memory. The sweet life seems to be the damned...

    What [a complex insanity] or [the spiritual soul of a character], these are all mysterious and mysterious, and I don't really like this kind of movie review that makes people understand incompetent, but still doesn't know what to say when they know every word. As for the lack of faith, the ridicule of religion, and the criticism of hedonism, it is natural to understand from many plot pictures. After all, Fellini also used the mouth of the male protagonist and the male to say [People who like...

    Rewatching it can only admit that it is a masterpiece that rewrites the history of film, and is willing to go to the ground for Fellini. When women point out that men don't need to experience childbirth, what the sweet life depicts is precisely the pain of men's pregnancy: after confirming that the world can only be a ruin, where is the confidence that is enough to allow their own monsters to inhabit? Set in the middle of Cabiria and the eight-and-a-half-and-a-half film, the film's visual pain...

    Hall of Fame Shots: Absurdity, numbness, beauty and modern elegance. The high walls of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance are inlaid, people, arches, columns, lamps stand one by one, flowing sculptures, feasts. Mottled light and shadow, antique modern, broken and standing. Fantastic Rome, with a huge pattern. Very noisy and quiet. More is more, less is less. Shocked by Fellini looking for teeth all over the...

    The great directors I've seen who can combine reality with bizarre imagination are fat dudes like Fellini and Fassbender. The series of festive drinks and parties is like a wonderful circus with no beginning and no end, and the pungent irony is hinted at by the light-hearted, sensual scenes. The Italian interpretation of the void in modernity is full of whimsy and wonder, so different from the French films that appeal to the same theme, yes, the flesh is full of...

    The movie is so beautiful. The structure is breathtaking. The incomparably beautiful but empty and boring look and feel is exactly in line with the "sweet life" of that era. The ending is Fellini's darkest. Several allegories of religious belief are contradictory at the same time of contempt and yearning. Marcello Mastroianni is so charming, and the scene with Sylvia at the Trevi Fountain is really amazing. A game that will never be...
