memory, imagination, reality

He is so good. I love it so much. Fellini, how did you do it?

Fragments of childhood. Beautiful humming. Interweaving of reality. Women of all colors. Elegant white top. Aborted script. Playful clown. Abrupt rebar. forced humility. Dizzy steam. Provoked eyeliner. Coquettish Rumba. Argument rules. The curtain call of the piper boy.

Just a fragmented, but inseparable relationship.

Someone else said: . . . Life is always full of chaos. There is no need to add chaos to chaos. . . In fact, there is no real source of survival in life. . . It's better to give up than to linger. Hurry up and clean up the mess. In the end, what we need is something clean, clean, and disinfected. We are suffocated by pictures, sounds, and words. We can't come and go in nothingness. The true meaning of any art It's from existence to nothing. Any qualified artist should declare: committed to silence... If we can't have everything then true perfection is blank. Our real mission is... to sweep away the failures of millions. Everyone is desperate Going to the light, you actually leave a movie behind you, like the mutilation left by a cripple. . .

  • Guido: Enough of symbolism and these escapist themes of purity and innocence.

  • Guido: I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest film. No lies whatsoever. I thought I had something so simple to say. Something useful to everybody. A film to help bury forever all the dead things we carry around inside. Instead, it's me who lacks the courage to bury anything at all. Now I'm utterly confused, with this tower on my hands. I wonder why things turned out this way. Where did I lose my way? I really have nothing to say, but I want to say it anyway. Why don't those spirits of yours come to my aid? You always said they had lots of messages for me. Let them get to work.

    Rossella: I've already told you: your attitude is all wrong. You're curious in a childish way. You want too many guarantees.

    Guido: Fine, but what do they say?

    Rossella: The same as always. They're very reasonable. They know you very well.

    Guido: Well then?

    Rossella: They say you're free, but you have to choose. And you don't have much time. You have to hurry.
