Slowly change my attitude, I want to reconcile with Fellini

Finally can play a five-star Fellini! When Fellini's story has a strong plot, it becomes a fine avant-garde filmmaker, and it's a matter of the ratio between being accountable to the audience and being self-indulgent.

Finally got a taste of the aura of the eccentric actress Juliette Tamashina, stupid little one. I love the part about her and the male star. Her performance made me laugh.

Fellini's suggestion for watching movies is to gradually gain a deeper understanding of the director's style from such strong plot works, and then study mature works such as "Eight and a Half". The film turned my attitude towards Fellini.

notes:

The story of the heroine looking for light in the dark night, whether it is the starlight of a big star, the light of humanity of benefactors, the candlelight in the hands of believers, or a dream given to her by a magician in a wandering circus, all of them finally turned into a cheek. of a tear.

"The thing that struck me most about this film was how farce turned into tragedy at the end of each segment as each event passed quickly."

Illusion-hope-truth-disappointment, the director with the magic/stage/carnival complex steers the chain backwards, each link carefully reflected in the heroine's expression and her background.

Ironically, no matter how sincere wishes are still the source of lies; Fellini, who also questioned God and gave a smile at the end, is actually more cruel, because there is hope, and there will always be disappointment. She continued to stumble and get hurt on the road - but what does it matter, she is still a weed stubbornly growing in the filthy world, the light of the tears in her eyes is a miracle, and this is a victory for mankind.

    I like the structure so much, so many details are worth watching again and again, I just want to remake a Brock Lee night, poor Kabylia, low self-esteem and innocent silly girl, can you believe that one day I can do the same? I am very Willing to give you everything I have and nothing to you but why you still don't love me is it not because even God doesn't seem to love her very much? that's really scary

    If you meet people in a dream, you don't see them, if you know it's a dream, why should you wake up? . . The hypnotizing scene was really depressing. We can't find our way home
