    For 174 minutes, I sat all morning, smoked eight cigarettes, drank two bottles of zero degrees, plus the last one, forcing a day. I know why the legendary Tsinghua North University tyrant likes to watch brainless popcorn...

    In fact, the sweet life is not beautiful at all. From the beginning to the end, there is a rotten and hypocritical breath that makes people look uncomfortable. The protagonist has been in a state of no self-consciousness, allowing the habits of the circle to spread throughout the body. In the end, the illness became terminally ill and there was no cure. The image of Christ at the beginning and the end is the antithesis of the strange fish, and the submerged cry is actually the same. Looking...

    Three brushes. 1. Fellini’s prose-style narrative, which downplays the plot and pays attention to the description of the situation, uses Marcello (work and emotional experience) born as a commoner as a point of view to cut into the arrogant and prosperous Roman upper-class society with a lack of spiritual world. The related fragments of life constitute an urban symphony that composes the ukiyo-e of all living beings in the wind and moon. Focusing on the lifestyle and spiritual appearance formed...

    8/10. Fellini's symbolic opening: On the helicopter with a bottle of Jesus hanging, Marcello flirts with the bikini girl in the air, and the luxury and erosion of Rome cloud the Christian spirit. Dante’s hell-like structure is intertwined with nightclub banquets, castles’ indulgences to beach houses striptease, riders and transvestite pranks, men and women may be depressed or unhappy or acting on occasion, and the film crew will be at the Apparition of the Virgin. Light, frame, and fanatical...

    Fellini's masterpiece has parted ways with new realism. The composition, light and shadow are excellent, the narrative has the shadow of the conscious stream, and the content combines social criticism and psychoanalysis, revealing the spiritual rootless state behind the life of the drunken gold fans in the upper class of Rome. The beginning of hanging the statue of Jesus (later borrowed by [Ulysses’s Gaze] [Goodbye Lenin]) and the end of the beach passage are full of symbolism, the big...

    It's hard to have a movie that is as elegant and gorgeous, but at the same time it makes the viewer feel desperate as the story progresses. Fellini's group play is too amazing! Who can't say that crazy photojournalists, eye-opened American models, high-class people who are always partying, and those running around chasing the "Virgin" are actually the same kind of people? The only person with a bit of a brain can't get a good...
