The opening image of Jesus is a metaphor for the audience to see, like God, the whole of a person's life, including his pain and joy. At the same time, it also shows the background of the story. But it's like a helicopter flying by, it's just a glimpse, and in reality we can never know the whole picture of another person's life, all his thoughts.
The characters encountered by the male protagonist Marcello can be divided into three types: one is his girlfriend, Emma, Angel Paula, Steiner and his family; and work partners.
The first represents family life. It's orderly, but it takes responsibility because it's constructive. It is true that a lot of happiness can be obtained in a family, but this happiness requires constant effort and maintenance. When I was young, I wanted to care for my brothers and sisters, and I longed for the care of my parents. When you grow up, you should accept your girlfriend's shortcomings, not like a one-night stand, where you get what you need and appreciate each other. After getting married, they want to be a haven for their children and let them play, but they cannot share their pain and bear the uncertainty of the world alone.
The second represents a life of enjoyment. Happiness is easy to be empty. It can also be said to represent the emptiness itself. With Madeleine, although the other husband was not intervened, when he met Xiao Si, the male protagonist's sincerity became a joke again. I once thought she was the same person as me, but in the end, it was only me who paid my true feelings. As for Sylvia, the male protagonist is just a driver who spends time with him, a test of his physical charm. This woman, towards the male protagonist, is shallow and selfish, self-righteous. Even so, when discovered by the other party's fiancé, the male protagonist still endured the other party's anger and was severely beaten by social ethics. Participate in a castle party, and I don't know if it is a ghost who will participate, or if it becomes a ghost after participating.
With my father, there was a wonderful fusion of two lives. The male protagonist longs for his father's company, but his father only wants to have fun. This can be said to be the source of the male protagonist's pain, and it may also be the epitome of the male protagonist's future.
So, is all this suffering really the original sin of man? Jesus could not save the terminally ill world.
However, family life is inherently beautiful, and it is a very happy thing in itself to let the family live a good life through their own efforts and dedication. In this process, the child's inspiration and the wife's day and night company are also very beautiful movements. As for another kind of life, isn't the loneliness after madness just a space to think about and keep the distance between yourself and others? Originally, I didn't consider entering into an intimate relationship, getting along day and night.
Perhaps, Marcello's problem is that he doesn't know what he really wants, so the more temptations, the more developed civilization and the more choices he has, the more confused and miserable he is.
