Long Record: Dreams and Women

A little bit of opinion from the ordinary audience, it is too beautiful to shoot, the movement of the lens is beautiful and silky, flexible and neat, and you can't help but watch it, this is not the kind of literary film that makes people fall asleep (for example, A lot of long and messy, rough shots that have not formed a system and style, and are specially set up for the sake of style), the main line is actually quite clear: the director of Kavin filming, the tangle of memories, dreams, and reality, each section is complete, the next part The opening of the plot is also unexpected. I thought it was a bit similar to "Pain and Glory", where memories and reality intersect, but with the addition of dreams, the essence of life, love, etc. (there are many openings in the lines), the space for analysis and interpretation has also expanded quite a lot. Hey, although I'm not very interested in this theme (pointing to), the middle class, etc., degenerate nothingness, etc., etc., the protagonist and the setting are the same as "Sweet Life", obviously there are various Such good conditions, but also decadent, tired, lost, and inexplicably repented in the end, claudia is right, she is indeed someone who doesn't know how to love. I'm very good at taking pictures of women, but when I fantasize about a bunch of women, overflowing mother issues, and the wife of a domestic slave, I get goosebumps all over the place... I'm curious about the woman who believes in mysticism and is quite close to him. Her settings are very interesting, Seems to be one of the few important supporting characters who isn't always looked at sexually...

  • 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.
