Antonio brought his new wife Milly to Rome to visit wealthy relatives, hoping that the other party can give him a good job and make his life worry-free in the future. Antonio made an appointment to meet relatives, but Milly thought his hairstyle was like that of a country schoolgirl and insisted on getting a haircut first, but got lost on the journey, and the two began their adventure.
Prostitute Anna knocked on Antonio's door, saying that his friend had paid for him and wanted to fuck him hard. When Antonio first came to Rome, he couldn't possibly have any friends who would help him pay for prostitutes. He probably went to the wrong door. In the face of Anna played by Penélope Cruz (Penélope Cruz does not have many roles but is very eye-catching, wild and stupid, such a woman, how can you not attract attention?), Antonio still insists on being loyal to his wife and wants to drive Anna out door. But relatives arrive at this time to witness Antonio and Anna pushing and bucking. How could Antonio say "this woman is a prostitute" in the face of relatives who may offer him a high salary but seem to be sane? Besides, the wife who should be at the scene was missing, and she had to give an account to her relatives. She had to make a mistake and asked Anna to play Milly for the time being. But Antonio didn't know that Anna was not an ordinary prostitute, but a famous prostitute. When she went to the banquet venues of high society, all men were her patrons.
And Milly met her favorite actor after getting lost, the other party invited her to dinner, and then invited her to the hotel, wanting to have a relationship with her. The actor is short, fat and bald. He is definitely not a man who is attractive to women, but because he is famous, when he invited Milly, Milly only thought he was lucky, and he only hesitated to go to the hotel room and decided to temporarily Ignore the newly married husband and have a relationship with the man in front of him.
The actor got the opportunity to have sex with a woman because of his fame, but in the end, because his wife came to arrest the rape, he had to give the "opportunity" to the thief who came to rob. And Milly accepted this arrangement, not only pretending to be the lover of the thief, but actually having a relationship with him. For Milly, the actor's fame and the "dangerous feeling" of the thief are also gorgeous ornaments. She can sleep with the actor or accept the thief. For him, the actor is the same as the thief who suddenly appeared. Bandits don't really make any difference. "Fame" is just something to look up to, but it's not really worth watching.
Contrary to male actors, Anna gained fame for having sex with people. Anna in the movie is beautiful and sexy, she is a perfect goddess. But how long can such a face and such a posture be maintained? If a prostitute has to serve in Israel, will her fame survive as she ages?
The so-called fame is nothing but an addition that temporarily increases one's worth, but does not make one's essence better. But there are people in the world who regard fame as the ultimate ideal.
Sally's best friend Monica is a woman who has a fatal attraction to all men. Monica broke up with her boyfriend and came to Rome alone to find Sally. The visit of a friend was originally a happy event, but it made Sally become like a frightened bird, worrying that Jack would become one of the "all men" and fall in love with Monica. And although Jack shouted to his girlfriend that it was impossible, but as Sally expected, fell in love with Monica. A friend who falls in love with his girlfriend is quite ordinary and popular enough. The only special thing is that this woman who has an irresistible attraction to all men turns out to be Ellen Page.
As a "resistable woman," Ellen Page is clearly incompetent. The beauty is not enough, so I have to take it another way. Monica in the movie is a "talented girl" who has a "unique" set of opinions on everything and can recite two Shelley sentences at any time. "Unique" gives Monica a lustrous color, which makes Jack break through this love even at the expense of his girlfriend. However, this layer of color is also fictional. Through the ghostly appearance of John who has some life experience (John is probably the older Jack, right?), one by one to debunk Monica's motives and shallowness: to speak amazing insights just to attract men's attention without a trace; Reciting verses is very talented, but in fact only understands one or two lines. Monica's talent is as weak as her beauty, and it is only because the script has been prepared that she can perform scenes that are enough to make them tempted in front of one man after another. A man, for Monica, is also just a performance object, an object for her to prove her ability as a failed entertainer. Therefore, when Monica and Jack "finally" eliminated the obstacle of Sally and walked together, Monica could give up Jack for a chance that would not succeed (not even pretending to be sympathetic). Monica's real stage is in the entertainment industry. Only by becoming a real actor can she become famous. As for Jack and other men, they are just the objects of her career.
Some people have always wanted to become famous, but the opportunity is hard to find (Monica has been up and down for a long time, and finally got an "audit" opportunity, which is not guaranteed to perform, and even more guaranteed to become famous), and some people have become public figures for nothing. Leopoldo was originally just an ordinary person. He either went to work or stayed at home to watch boring TV shows with his family. However, he was suddenly surrounded by reporters when he went out one day. He became a celebrity that many people want to know about "what to eat for breakfast". Leopoldo was dazed at first, and then slowly felt the benefits of fame: beautiful women greeted him, even expressing willingness to have sex with him, going to expensive restaurants without queuing, and the whole world revolving around him as if he was a special existence.
Fame can bring good but also bad, Leopoldo can't stand the days of being surrounded by the crowd, and the fickle audience, as he wishes, turns to pay attention to another passer-by (the man became famous because of him. It looks stupid enough, which is probably what made Leopoldo famous that day). Leopoldo rejoiced to be free, but to be free also meant losing all the benefits of being famous. When Leopoldo became famous, it was "important" to just shave and eat a piece of toast, but when he lost his fame, no one remembered his name as Leopoldo, and no one wanted to know what he did, just like his existence Also becomes blank. Leopoldo suddenly changed from the lowest to the highest, but from the highest to the lowest, it has never been "poor to luxury, luxury to poverty is difficult", and the reputation is the same. Leopoldo, who became an ordinary person, couldn't accept that others no longer pursued him. In order to get the attention of others, he actually took off his pants in the middle of the road. But as an ordinary person, besides his wife, who would care about a fool who takes off his pants on the road?
After trying the benefits of being famous, who can easily let go? Leopoldo took off his pants in public, and Jerry directed a disaster opera to regain his fame.
Jerry has a certain reputation in the opera industry, but as he got older, his job was also frustrated many times, so he had to retire. Jerry believes that retirement is no different from death, and hopes to make a comeback, but has been unable to do anything until he meets Giancarlo, who has a good voice. Jerry tried hard to persuade Giancarlo to participate in the opera. On the surface, he didn't want Giancarlo to waste his talent, but in fact, he hoped that by digging out a star, the world would feel that he was a horse, rather than an old man who refused to retire.
Giancarlo's singing voice is moving, but he can only sing it in the shower. In order to realize his dream, Jerry even came up with the farce of moving the bathroom to the performance hall, letting Giancarlo sing while taking a shower. As a result, the newspapers reported Jerry's elaborate masterpiece, Giancarlo became famous, and Jerry's figure reappeared in the newspapers (Jerry's play was rated as nothing but Giancarlo's singing). In the face of bad reviews, Jerry still wants to win another game. After all, it's better to have someone pay attention than to borrow no name. But Giancarlo decided to retire after he started to become popular. He came on stage just to realize his dream of performing "Rigoletto". It is enough to realize his dream. As for whether he became famous or not, he didn't care at all. Giancarlo is a bit stupid to give up the opportunity to become popular, but he is the happiest. Fame is beyond people's control. We don't know when he will come or when he will go, and if you work hard, it may not be useful, and if you don't work hard, you may not get it. Since "fame" is something that people can't control, why not put it aside and focus on doing what you want and can control?
