I like that atmosphere

Every frame at the beginning of the first half of the eight and a half is very beautiful, especially remember the dream, the balloon-like person. I discovered it from a film critic's top ten of the year. But limited to cognition, more just to appreciate the lens and makeup, not much thought about the content.

Speaking from memory, it's been a long time since I watched it. The most impressive is the dream at the beginning; his absent-mindedness, the camera switching is really wonderful, and there are some fantastic changes in the front. Later, I accidentally saw that it was the use and connection of the near and far lens, and then I knew what my strange feeling was. Seems like a casting later? The girl talks to him, and it turns out that it's picked on the screen like a shot. And his mom, Chase. I remember a sudden sinking, and his dad was half-buried in the soil. The sudden rise and fall, the feeling of not being able to trace the trail is wonderful, and it is even better when it is reflected by the black and white lens.

    This movie feels garish. The director is a bit neurotic, delicate and sensitive. A very personal film, kind of like The Sun Also Rises. I don't like this one mainly because it's too talkative!

    Fellini's blood letter to the movie, the ultimate fan of the movie is hatred. The creative director struggles in the tug-of-war between reality, memory, dreams and imagination. The burden of his past reputation, the coercion of the producer and the playwright, the complicated personal relationship with the main actor, and the noise of the media make him busy and exhausted. . Dreamers are trapped by the dreams they create. Life is a circus that never sleeps. Time wields a whip and beats you, the director of the circus.
