Next is Marcello's game life, hooking up with the second generation of rich women, taking a prostitute home~ I found a suicidal girlfriend when I went home early in the morning.
American female celebrities came to visit, but they ended up being beaten because they didn't find a place to live and did not become rapes for various reasons.
Meeting in the church is the only one I recognize, and it can be regarded as a spiritual friend~~ Amidst the sound of music, Marcello began to think about his life.
The passage of the Apparition of the Virgin is a bit confusing, and it feels not very compatible with the style of the whole movie. Maybe it corresponds to the last conversation with a friend, he took his girlfriend with him. He wanted to change his life, but in the last paragraph of the Apparition of the Virgin, his girlfriend also joined the crowd snatching the tree. Finally, a patient died after a farce and
brought his girlfriend to a family gathering with friends. It seems to be an enviable life, a big house, friends who talk about art, and elegant manners. But the friend hides his deep anxiety-Marcello didn't realize it, and was bewildered by the harmonious family life. In the end, a friend introduced him to be a screenwriter to get rid of the current dilemma.
Marcello tried to write in a small seaside restaurant, but couldn't proceed because of the small things around him. We all know that he can't write anything at all. Talking to the young girl in the restaurant suggests that the girl belongs to another world. Teaching girls to type may be a temptation to communicate... The girl refused to end this paragraph.
My father suddenly visited and went to the nightclub together to party with the girls. The father's body and energy obviously couldn't bear such stimulation, he suddenly became uncomfortable and clamored to leave Rome. His desire to get comfort from his father fell through, and his father himself was empty and dead, and his age did not allow him to seek excitement. He explained to his companions that his relationship with his father was not deep, because his father was rarely at home.
Pulled by a girl to participate in another carnival, an old castle. Encountered the second generation of rich female, took him into a conversation room. Under the influence of mystery, he confided his attachment to women and his fear of life like a woman, but it quickly changed later. A woman is easily seduced by another concrete and real man... He can't find a woman, but follows a group of people into the closed old house to explore, looking for ghosts. At dawn, a group of people who looked like ghosts came out.
In a fierce quarrel with his girlfriend, he could not accept his girlfriend's crazy possessive love, but he was attached to the sense of presence attached to him. After that, he drove back again.
When he was with his girlfriend, he received a sudden call. He could say that his only friend, the goal of life, the pillar of faith, committed suicide. And it was a very tragic way, killing two children and then committing suicide.
In the last paragraph, even more crazier pleasure~~ The half-drunk and half-mad Marcello led the body to an evil climax. At dawn, people left the house and went to the beach. They were attracted by the strange fish caught by the fishermen, and Marcello looked at the ugly creature's eyes as if he were watching him.
The girl at the seaside restaurant and Marcello were separated by a large sandy beach. The girl said she would learn to type with him~ But Marcello left. That might be the passage between him and another world, but because he couldn't hear and was blocked by noisy sounds, he went back to his own world.
It is said that the movie is three and a half hours long, and the version that can be seen is 174 minutes. I don’t know what the cut parts are.
I can't help but compare this film with Antonioni's "Night", the feeling of alienation and emptiness is very similar. Maybe they are both from neo-realism, both of them are influenced by existentialism, and they are concerned about the same issues (maybe the actors are all because of Mastroianni). "Night" feels more delicate and explores the emotional world between people at the microscopic level. Fellini is more socialized.
There are a lot of evil sexual hints in the last carnival paragraph ~ Later, I saw the name "Pasolini" in the list of screenwriters, and thought to myself, no wonder.
With the telephoto lens used almost exclusively for photography, the foreground and background are deliberately blurred, making people wander in the picture like a ghost.
The camera seldom moves and is fixed there, watching people performing. The carnival people are like dancing in a box, crazy and unconscious.
