Rome is an essay

Mitchell 2022-04-19 09:02:08

The prose-like film, through simple character relationships and a large number of dialogues, expresses the director's understanding of life, and the love for life and the love-hate entanglement of the city of Rome in a very romantic lens language.
Rome under the lens is full of strong artistic atmosphere, comfortable and peaceful, beautiful and romantic. However, in addition to the cultural heaviness brought by its long history, the city of Rome also carries the hustle and bustle of modern society. The intertwined party is more like a helpless escape from an empty life. Although you have money and status, you find that the simplest beauty in life is missing.
The movie leads the audience to carefully read the content of this book of life from the perspective of an old writer.
Life is as simple as juggling, so don't be demanding. Please slow down the pace of life and enjoy the beauty of the breath between heaven and earth.

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.
