Wilfred 2022-07-28 10:42:20

Are you looking for inspiration or for yourself, lost in desire?Reluctantly walking on a road with no way out, constantly recalling the fantasies he once had, the old dreams regained and continued to be tender. Who knows, the more I look back, the more of a nightmare it becomes. Break it all. If you lose it, you will have the motivation to long for it.

Guido's case

"Nine" tells the story of a famous director, Guido Contini, who wants to shoot his ninth film but has been suffering from a lack of inspiration. So, while he was looking for inspiration for his films under all kinds of pressures, he was also looking for where his love truly belonged. At the beginning of the film, in black and white, Guido seems to be stuck in a press conference, saying something a little confusing. In the dark, he walks alone into Rome's film studio, where the shrill metal hits reveal everything straight to the point with a psychological monologue and dance scene, followed by complex explanations.

Muse Cloudia

In the first act, she is the first to slowly walk out of the darkness and give Guido a kiss, which also lights up the stage behind her. But she is the last to appear in the narrative, wearing the veil of her mysterious and beautiful muse. It's a coincidence to use the beauty of Nicoie Kidman to play the muse who seduces the rational and wise inside. "You're the muses," the incredible women that made Italy what it is today. In a country run by men who are themselves run by women, Whether they know it or not. " In the alleys of Italy at night, she sings. She did not deny that she also fell in love with Guido, but she did not allow herself to condescend. Cloudia said: "It's not a real person, Guido." She is just an ordinary woman living under the aura of beauty. She took off her wig and jewelry to restore her short hair and said to Guido: "This is me ,and you have a wife who loves you ." Another kiss in the dark told him: "I'll miss you . "Wrong girl." Then he turned and left gracefully, saying, "This is the muse."

wife Luisa

Luisa, who was originally an actor, gave up her original acting career to love Guido in order to be a good wife, just as the Catholics praised her. "Well, there is a good Catholic wife for you, Guido." "Sacrifice." Indeed, she was worshipped. Her husband always supports her career selflessly. He has endured silently because of his infidelity, loving him with the good memories of their first meeting. Her faint hope and strong despair are evident in her two main arias. When she was desperate and awake, she sang: "It's time to leave. If I'm to live, Because I have no more, there's nothing left to give. " In the black and white pictures of the singing and dancing, her resentful singing hides despair and similarities. Indulgence, like revenge, there is nothing. At this moment, she can see through his desire and dissatisfaction. If he is not so greedy, it means death, and she has been hollowed out by him. Seeing hope dashed might actually be a good thing for Luisa.

Mistress Carla. Carlissima

accompanied the phone with a sultry song and dance, sultry lyrics, sexy voice, all kinds of gestures... Bold and clear erotic catharsis: This is Guido's lover, which makes me feel sexy and a bit silly. He doesn't seem to have a high level of cultivation and also no scheming. Maybe she really just fell in love with Guido because of his personal charm, so she is also willing to play erotic games. Such a foolish and dangerous woman also chose a foolish way to suppress the pain of reality when she realized her real situation. The stunt of suicide and begging did add to his inner unease, but reality is reality after all. After deviating from the moral track, it is still necessary to return to the original track in a dreadful way to continue to survive. A reporter who seduces a fashion magazine in Setphanina , with first-class communication and seduction skills. Maybe I should flatter and seduce Guido for her next magazine sale or whatever. Like her singing and dancing, it's as open and vain as she is. It's just that the all-too-explicit utilitarian temptation finally fails on a troubled and restless Guido.

Childhood Memories of Saraghina

A group of boys pooled their money together to find a prostitute named Saraghina to play with. They watched her play with the sand and smiled curiously. I always feel that Saraghina has a fierce and strange temperament, but the singing and dancing of the dance sand is absolutely wonderful. As the director's costume and makeup artist, best friend and extended family member, Lilli, is bent on helping him complete his films. She worked hard to help him save his life as the big parent who watched him grow up. She can always enlighten him calmly. Tell him: Come back to Rome . Make a movie . Go to work.

mother

Guido is a maestro who often lives in fantasy, so his late mother often appears in his life to talk to him. A noble, elegant, and charming mother will tolerate this somewhat absurd son who has never grown up.

Guido

Identity: famous director, husband, lover, immature child. As a director, he needs to live in his own imagination like a child to create good movies. However, in reality, his naivety hurt those who loved him. As he told the muse: "He wants to take hold of everything , to devour everything." He can't let anything go, or he doesn't want to. But he changes direction every day because he's lost , he's dying. He's bleeding to death. " He felt the crisis, but there was nothing he could do. Lost, lost, lost...

"Don't stop being a child."

This is what Lilli said to Guido: keep the fantasy and always be a child with dreams of creating movies. We all live in our own world, fantasizing about freedom, fantasizing about innocence. It's just that once you get out of the age of free fantasy, reality hits and kills. There is always an insurmountable gap between fantasy and reality. We cannot control reality according to fantasy but can only adjust fantasy to match reality. Everyone needs to grow up, because naive people don't know how to love. We still don't know just where to go, how to stick to our own ideas, what to give up and what to strive for. In fact, it's not just Guido that's lost...
