Protagonist; writer for Jed newspaper, job: interviewing artist. Reader positioning; high-end crowd in Italy (especially Rome)? Upper class? noble? Education level aside, the experience is indeed very wide. OS: It is strange that these people who have the right to speak are indeed the most indulgent dark people and become slaves of desire. I don't know if it's an exaggeration. Jed is among the upper class and has a certain influence. After reading a lot, many people know hypocrisy, such as hypocritical artists, pessimistic businessmen and so on. So despite being around the colorful dance floor every night, my heart is gray with life. Image: Giraffe. Which means: Magic? Art? Soul? 25-year-old Jed went to Rome alone. As a writer, the only literary work is a novella. And it was written in youth. Later, everything was flashy, not only in performance, but also in absolute nothingness and vulgarity. The thing that was originally established is what I hoped to find in Rome when I was 25 years old. It has never been found. In fact, there are many images in the film, but the one that impressed me the most was the giraffe. One of the reasons is that I am so ignorant of Italian culture that I cannot discern many details. Giraffes, beautiful, among the ruined Roman ruins. Jed was blown away by it. The friend said it was just a trick, he was going to make the giraffe disappear. What? Change this beautiful thing that seems impossible to be here? It turned out to be so, Jed said, you just turned me into a bad guy. Jed was troubled before, because the dream of his youth came to his mind again. He wanted to seize it, but found that he did not have the ability, so his heart was full of confusion, helplessness and loss. His implication is that it would be great if you could also change the giraffe in my heart. But Jed didn't go back home because of disappointment like his friend did. He finally decided to write. because of what? Because he still decided to be an artist, fighting, selling his soul, to make a trick, just a trick. But why did he decide to fight? There are several scenes and stories and characters in the film that are the driving points for changing his mind. For example, the "crazy" man who was cared for by his mother said that if you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it. (Cynical Jed has nothing to say, obviously thought-provoking) And the little girl and the old nun, let Jed see that talent and absolute faith are real, really can be called art, beautiful minds can change the world. Of course, there are some satires on Italian society and politics in the film. I can feel it, but I can't understand it.
