    Fragments of History and Nightmare of Modern Man: Comments on Fellini's "Myth of Love"

After I vaguely caught some information while watching it, I felt that "goodbye to my ex" is a proposition from ancient times to the present, but it really requires a lot of execution and ability to convert a simple psychological activity into an "alternative historical story" full of images. The "obsessed" that seemed to have left the stage in the middle, transformed into a variety of new lights in the second half, like a witch figure in front of the fire, strangely radiant.

Fellini Satyricon quotes

  • Encolpio: Ascilto... what does the poet say? Each moment presented may be your last, so fill it up until you vomit... or something such?

  • Soldier at Tomb: They've stolen the hanged man! While I was with you, the thief's family took him away! I know what punishment I'll get... a horrible death. Why should I wait for it? I'd rather die by my own hands.

    [pulls his sword out and is about to stab himself]

    Wife of Ephesus: [stops him] No! No, my dear... To lose the two men in my life, one after the other, would be too much...

    Wife of Ephesus: [looks at the corpse of her husband] Better to hang a dead husband than to lose a living lover.

    [the couple replace the missing hanged corpse with the corpse of her husband]
