beautiful city

"Disappointed? Very disappointed. But do you love him? I've never loved someone so much in my life. Still in love, and still in love..." When we're over and able to say these words, we've forgotten what love feels like age. As soon as grey-haired Jep looked at the vocals, I knew this was a movie my age couldn't understand. If "Love in Rome" is the urban accent of the lovely Rome in Woody Allen's eyes, then this movie must be the beautiful "life" of Rome in Sorrentino's eyes. Born into embarrassment, addicted music runs through to the end, closest to the soul. All the language in it is easy to say, but it is obviously like a thoughtful and thoughtful experience of a long life, full of the taste of dealing with life. The city of Rome is beautiful and full of wisdom. At the end of the movie, on the withered face of the nun, and the beauty of Jep and his lover when they were young, interspersed and switched, the movie ends at the end of beauty.

    Delicate beauty, boundless emptiness. Beauty to the extreme is also empty to the extreme. I like it anyway.

    The first 20 minutes of the film are very beautiful, one scene after another, the city that never sleeps. Always in Rome. Tourists are the best. Travel is an illusion. For Sorrentino, the transition from this "stunning city" to the "young and energetic" and "young Pope" behind it is so natural and logical. However, it must be emphasized that after Fellini, everyone's Rome is Fellini's Rome.

The Great Beauty quotes

  • Jep Gambardella: To this question, as kids, my friends always gave the same answer: "Pussy". Whereas I answered "The smell of old people's houses". The question was "What do you really like the most in life?" I was destined for sensibility. I was destined to become a writer. I was destined to become Jep Gambardella.

  • Jep Gambardella: Madame Ardant!

    Fanny Ardant: [after a long pause] Bonne nuit.
