Black and white humor.

Yes. The black and white of the blockbuster are put together to form a dreamlike picture. At the beginning of the film, he is trapped in the car, banging nervously on the window, the expressions of the people around him are numb, and his palms swipe the glass with a sharp sound. After that, he climbed out of the roof of the car and opened his arms for temporary liberation. He flew in the clouds, the sun was in a trance, and the unfinished transmission tower set could be seen through the clouds, like a lonely child. He was bound by the rope, and the laughter of the man on the other end of the rope suddenly amplified, he fell facing the sea, and there was only a thick breathing sound between heaven and earth.
This is a dream, but it is the dream state that best reflects the actual situation of the human mind.
Guido is such a person.
He covets his childhood, weaves his dreams out of fantasies, and places himself in a sweet hallucination. He goes back to the past, demands perfection, and indulges in himself. His thinking is an absurdity that is difficult for ordinary people to understand. He wants to make a movie, but he doesn't have a script or a complete set of ideas. He was afraid of missing something and not being able to achieve true fulfillment.
He was clearly giving up, but he was unwilling to pick them up again and again.
His deceased father appeared before him, the seaside giantess sang again, and the childhood bathing scene reappeared. As bright contrasts, they only made him feel more disappointed in real life, unable to trace his own prototype in life, and his inspiration and intentions became a muddy mess. It all stemmed from his hallucinations, and they kept coming, and they ended up destroying him.
I heard his irritable cry, and saw his exhausted thoughts flow all over the place.
His last thoughts were trapped in a dream, hiding a parasite that was constantly eating his brain.
In the end, the clown played the musical instrument, and the people walked hand in hand in happy little steps. The music was cheerful, and it was unclear whether it was fantasy or reality.
I want to know, at this time, what kind of expression does the master's cold humor look like?

    The wild flowers gradually become attractive to the eyes, and Asakusa can have no horses' hooves. Ten years ago, I couldn't understand it, and after reading it all over the world, I gradually understood Fellini's mind.

    I bought a DVD 10 years ago, but I haven't watched it all the time. Today I looked it up from the old stuff and watched it. Can you imagine that I, a director who shoots dreams, have never seen the famous eight and a half films? ? ? It seems to be the director's self-doubt and self-pity. However, the details in many dreams are quite real and touching, and penetrate into the heart. . . The artist's heart wants to fly high but is dragged back to the ground, wants to love but doesn't know how to love, wants to be free but is entangled with what he is, wants to be free but still lives, travels through memory, fantasy, dream and reality , and finally the rocket launch pad became a circus. After giving up, he reconciled with everything.
