Watch the sweetness of Fellini's life

There is no such thing as a banquet in the world because the more joyful the beginning, the more difficult it is to find a suitable ending. The ending of this movie is the best I have ever seen. Pulling the Jesus statue by helicopter from the beginning has actually laid a lot of depth for the film. The male protagonist, Marcello, wanders the world, using his identity as a reporter and writer, to make fun of people and wear flowers and butterflies. There is no moral shame at all. When it comes to Steiner, the dark side of his personality, the monologue that claims to be savage as a savage comes from Steiner's mouth like Marcello's inner confession. Marcello's father appeared briefly, had an unexpected affair, and said goodbye in a hurry. It seemed that Marcello's self-psychological analysis had not had time to open his heart, and his father, the factor that could save him, left him again until Steiner's In the tragedy, Marcello finally collapsed, lost all his attachment to reality, and was obsessed with the party. The devil fish caught at the end was really "dead", implying that Marcello's spiritual world completely collapsed, but this is not enough, Ferry Ni also arranged for an angelic girl to wave on the other side of the beach to try to save Marcello, but the male protagonist just knelt on the beach powerless, the wind was loud, gave him a reason to refuse, turned his head and chose to succumb to reality. Fellini, why are you so cruel, giving hope in despair, and taking it away!

The sweetness of life itself is a subjective description of a person. How can life be sweet? Life itself cannot be tasted with the tongue, just like life is happy, changing the noun still cannot explain the meaning of life, it will only seem accurate, but in fact it is more abstract. Fellini at least did not deceive the audience. The movie was easy. He did not choose bitterness and hatred. But such sweetness comes at a price, because sweetness does not represent life itself, and there is always something that corrodes life, just like eating too much sugar will cause tooth decay; if you enjoy too much, faith will be lost. Fellini is very good. He chose the profession of a reporter, and he can easily travel through all levels of society, connecting the stories intermittently. He ignores the existence of time, and the change of day and night is just a word of the role, like a dream , The characters are just puppets in the hands of life, laughing and laughing, and making trouble. Fellini didn't bother to explain the historical background and social changes behind this, he only performed it easily through farce, and a little deconstruction was only between his father and Marcello, and was interrupted by Fellini bluntly, because He hates revealing, like an accomplice in life, to let the characters immerse themselves in the sweetness of life.
