      "Liar" Recommendation: Reality More Realistic than Reality

      The loneliness trilogy is compared in terms of popularity, "The Road" and "Night of Kabylia" are two towering breast peaks, and "The Liar" is an unknown birthmark lurking deep in the cleavage. Fellini would like this analogy, because his highest pursuit in life is to bury his head between his big breasts until he died. After "Broad Road" has won more than 60 international awards all the way, Fellini was strongly criticized by neo-realist filmmakers in Italy. They called him an undercover...

      fraud

      There are two kinds of scammers in this world. One is to swindle feelings, and the other is to swindle money. I think anyone who has been in a relationship should have experienced the former, and many people have encountered the latter. The hateful thing is that it deceives both feelings and money, just like what happened to Kabylia last night. There is no doubt that the liar is hateful, but the liar in Fellini's movies makes people feel a little bit sympathetic. Every part of the trilogy...

      Are women saving men?

      Nuan's comment agrees very much. It seems that women are saving men in this film, as he said: slutty women save men's fallen flesh, holy women save men's fragile souls.
      Elis leads her husband Picasso to leave the fraud gang. When August saw his daughter, his soul was deeply shocked. In the end, Auguste revealed his true feelings when he saw the lame girl. Although he cheated the money in the end, he must have been entangled in the middle. That part of the show was the only time when the...

      This is not just a story of an Italian liar, but also yours and mine

      The friends in the circle of friends were "stunned" because they hadn't seen the three fools and didn't know the famous "Amir Khan". I'm going to see the three silly, but there is a happier thing these days, I finally finished watching Fellini's loneliness trilogy. I was still in Singapore when I watched "Night of Kabylia" and "The Road". It has been 7 years without knowing it.


      "The Liar" tells the story of a 48-year-old old liar who did nothing. He finally died on the edge of a...

      Liar II

      The film is a neo-realist style film created after World War II. At that time, the people at the bottom were suffering even more after the war, and the protagonist of the film deceived the protagonist from the people at the bottom, but the object of their deception was also the people at the bottom. A large number of long shots are used in the film to make the storyline more complete, which makes people feel more authentic and feel the sadness of the people at the bottom of the society after...

      I really feel that August is so pitiful, and he acted so well. After checking it out, I found out that he was already an Oscar winner. The film was cut for 20 minutes. I guess it was Robert who had an accident in...

      I watched it for more than an hour before my vacation; I watched it for 20 minutes in the car before going to work after the pneumonia test; I watched the last 20 minutes the night before the vacation. Very unrecommended atmosphere-destroying/fragmented viewing. ? Only remember the cruel world of the jungle, the broken conscience. Residual emotions, self-imposed discipline and oppression. The ending drew a wrinkle in the young...

    • Augusto: We've gotta figure out something better. We can't go on like this.

      Roberto: Who's saying we should? I'm not an idiot. This is just for fun, just to keep us going. I'm going to sing. When I save up some money, I'll take lessons. I've bought all the Johnnie Ray's records. He's really my style.

      Augusto: You'll never take lessons.

      Roberto: I'm not ending up like you!
